Inspired by the Sonja ing with nothing too much in the ■way of contrasting trimmings and Mono films, they are young, pic turesque and practical. Extremely popular among these skating clothes arc the models made up in flannel or velveteen. .Simple and long sleeved, their brief flaring skirts have width in the aright places so that the skater is wutl hampered in her execution of a curve »r spin. A particularly fetching model is one in velveteen atavy blue with a neat trimming of ■rwi rickrack at the neck, pockets and hem and a lining of red for *he skirt.

FASHIONS By Julia Sanford With holidays fast drawing to a close, we’U want to get down to practical every day clothes, and that need not be a great let down | tar these very day clothes are as attractive as the more glamorous festive modes.

Ani hero’s wishing you a Happy and prosperous New Year TRE BEAUTY BOX I By VERS IE WINSTON of I N’orthside Beauty Box ' “LIPSTICK” Regard'ng the application of lip stick in general, there are several points to remember. First of all, to much lipstick caked cn the lips given the face a cheap, garish ap-’ pearance. The purpose, of lipstick j is to tint the lips, to highten their i own color as naturally as possible, j no*, to cover them, thus making the 1 face resemble a painted mask. It is also well to remember that. curved lines in make-up are alwayc j more flattering than s-traight ones.. On the i-creen :f a woman has to. look * hard boiled,” one of the | thing- the make-up artist does is to j faint her lips on in straight 1 nos. j Tho lips must be absolutely dry before the lipstick is applied. In applying lip rouge start the appl> i cation of the lip rouge at the cen-' ter of the upper lip carefully bring ing the color well out to each cor ner, but not beyond. Press your! rouged upper lip down upon your j unrougod lip. This will give an even, symmetrical outline for the lower lip which may then be filled in. Spread Who rouge evenly over both lps with the little finger, working from the center to the outer corners of the uppers lip, and from the outer corners toward the center on your lower lip. Take care not to run outside of the Original outlines made by the lipstick, so j that the lips wil have a clean cut, even contour Remove excess by pressing tho lips over a tissue by doing that you leave only the desir ed amount of color on the lips. A heavy lower lip can be made to appear smaller by placing em phasis, through moro color, upon the upper lip. And by the same' token a heavy rouged lower in contrast with a lightly rouged up per one minimizes the defect of a very thick upper I p, but in all cases it is necessary to use sound judg ment. (Next week road about POWER) -0O0-— MAGIC CARPET IN G. E. DISPLAY San Francisco, Dec. 29—There will be a House of Magis in The Magis City being built on magic Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. And millions of Fair goes, al though “they have seen it with their own eyes’” will not believe what they have >&vr. Despite skeptics, General Elec tric Company is going ahead with Magic Hou=e exhibit plans, and has revealed some of the amaxing scientific phenomena to be shown at the 1939 California World’s Fair. There’ll be, first a magic carpet which will do away with Newton’s law of gravity insofar as a five pound aluminum disc is concerned, for the disc will float without any discernible means of suspension. Next alarm will be caused by a radio fevor machine which will in duce high temperatures! harmless ly, however) on the brow of Fair visitors. This artificial fever hailed i ar. a boom in fighting some dis eases, will be used to pop corn j without even heating the popping i pan. The stroboscope, also will take its turn in baffling the public. This devico is a lamp which, when fo cused on a propeller rotating 180C revolutions a minute, makes it ap pear to be standing still, enabling the spectator to see every line and detail of the blades. BEflUTy^RomnncE l The Laricuse Beauty Foundation was established by the Godefroy Manufacturing Company to study methods of preserving women's natural beauty, and to make the results of this research available to the public. After n summer which lms pro longed itself far Into the full, win ter has finally caught up with us, and if we uren’t careful, we will find ourselves with chapped, peeling faces and rougli red linnds. Icy blasts are hard on the toughest skins, and none of us can face the ravages of winter without giving our skins some sort of protection. Use Protective Cream A wise and beauty-conscious woman will never leuve her house these chilly mornings without ap plying a protective cream to her face before putting on her make-up. A foundation cream will not only protect the skin against winter winds but lms a tendency to make the powder and rouge adhere to the skin and thus eliminate the neces sity of frequent “touch-ups.” A good foundation cream will give the skin a natural, satiny appearance nnd make the powder go on more smoothly. It is well In the winter to apply a slight coating of cream to the lips before putting on lipstick. Tills, too, will serve as a protection against the weather, make your lipstick spread more evenly, and prevent unnttrnctive and painful cracking. And, speaking of winter lipstick, be sure that your lipstick harmonizes not only with the richer colors of your winter wardrobe, but, more Im portantly, with your own particular type of coloring. There are on the market now lipsticks especially blended for your coloring so use a little care In selecting one that will best set off your skin. Hands Need Care As a rule, hands come in for the hardest treatment in cold weather. There is always more dirt in winter than summer and we have to wash our hands oftener. And soap and water, combined with cold weather, is an unfailing recipe for chapped hands. Make it a rule, as long as the cold persists, to apply a hand cream or protective lotion to your hands every time you wash them, be it five or fifty times a day. Noth ing detracts more from a woman’s charm than rough, red hands. Soft, smooth hands are an invitation to romance, but rough, cracked skin will cool the most ardent admirer. Play safe this winter. If your skin is inclined to be dry. use a good night cream, especially designed for dry skin to counteract the effect of wind and cold. Winter is always the most social tim.e of all. Don’t let icy winds freeze your chances for a round of gaiety. What are your beauty prob lems?

BOX 11, ATLANTA, GA My New 1939 Astrology Reading.r. are now ready V. S.—Everytime I go to a movie and stop at my girl friends house I get fussed at and have to do a lot of explaining to my people. Then I can’t go to a movies for two Week3 after that. The only time I go any place is when Mother goes out to play cards and I have to go along. I only get $4.00 a week and I get 50c out of the $4.00. Have I ever done anytime to make her not trust me? Ans: Don't hold any grude against your parents, they are doing what they consider their duty. You will be twenty-one shortly then they will let you “bo on your own.’’ They love you dearly. Even though you aro an adopted child, so don’t do anything to hurt their feel ings. E. B.—I leased my home to a man and he was supposed to pay mo my rent twice a year, and he moved away leaving a lot of junk on tho place and I can’t find h m. Will my home Senefit me an> more ? Ans: It will, but you are go ing to have to be more business liko in your dealings. In the first place, you had no business renting your home to anyone UNLESS THEY PAID THE RENT IN ADVANCE. You will have a hard time collecting your money, for your "renter” deliberately egged you into this twice a year gag. He couldn’t even pay one months rent let alone Six. J. R. C.—I have been deep in love with a young man since I j was at the age of 15 yearn. Will we be married before June? Ans: Not a chance. Your friend is already tied down and is thinking seriously of marri age. At present he is living in another town and in my opinion your lives will never cross. A N—Do you think I could join the Navy and save $2,000 to build --1 p home for my aunt? I need a job awfully bad. Ans: You can’t even hope to join the Navy unless you are physically fit. In your" present run down state of health you would be “turned down.” So tho most important thing for you to do now is to tend to your health. The month of Jan uary should be a luck month for you in your search for a job. M. J.—Should I continue to KGOI< AROUND with my divorced husband ? Ans: ABSOLUTELY NOT. If you think that your divorce was a mistake, and that life together would be agreeable to both of you, then you should ro marry'. Any ether manner or relation will not be long lasting, nor will it prove bene fic'al to either of you. But be sure of your want this time. ■ J. A. T.—What type work would you advise me to study for? I am ju t a normal boy who is planning to enter college next year. Ans: There are several pro fessions which would fit in well with your personality and capabilities. However, to enable yon to find the greatest a mount of success with a mini mum of study and in the short est tim?. I would advise you to study for a TRADE, rather than a Profession. You must eventually rise higher in the world by following a .profes sion. but in the meantime one must eat. C A. D.—My brother has appa rently lost his mind. Will he ever be normal ayain? Ans: Your brother's eondi t on though deplorable, is by no means beyond the curable state. If he were placed in some institution for immediate treatment, he would soon be normal again. His trouble is no doubt the result of a phy sical illness, or diseases. 1939 Astrology Readings NOW READY!

CALVIN (Lifted by Editor & Publisher) Against “Racism” it is reassuring to note the ad dress of Father John LaFarge, high Catholic writer, at a dinner in his honor at the town Hall Club, New York. After a sojourn in Eu rope, where he observed at first hand the trend toward intolerance on the continent, a direct and vi gorous warning that ‘‘racism*’ should be scotched in America is made. Father LaFarge does not over look the vital place the Negro group occupies in this present in- j temational skein of prejudice. He includes the Negro in his preach ments against the advance of this “destructive ideology.” Says Father LaFarge: “Euro pean Racism bringa to its Ameri can congener a new and glitter ing apparatus undeality much of it is the same old machinery fur bished up and nickled over—to place at our disposal. But Ameri can anti-Negro Racism is not just a poor relative. It offers to its virulent European cousin an ideo logical not just a pragmatic foot hold this side of the Atlantic, a certain dignity and tradition which can readily be exploited for the purpose of de-teutonizing a for eign doctrine, as the Germans suc ceeded in teutonizing ideas which originated in France, at the Com munists with their new-found pa triotic fervor attempt to. do for the ideas of Karl Marx which came to Russia through Germany from France and England. “The fuel i9 here te be set on firo by brands from across the ocean. Add to the native type of Racism the various nativist United States movements against foreign ers and Jews, and we possess ma terial ready for a blaze that will grow to a roaring forest fire. “To remove the fire menace we must remove its material, which means to combat native race pre judices in every way that lies at hand. It is inconceivable how pub licists and politicians and organs of public opinion who are bo deed ly exercised over the brualities and threats of European Racism should be completely indifferent to the continuance of such racist manifestations as lynching, with its attendant psychological horrors in the midst of our nation—the si:x;th lynching of this year occured on November 21 just past—; how they fail te see that this contin uance is readily tfploited by Hit lers and ,Rosenbergs; how they can serenely' took upon dascrimatory social institutions as foreordained and immutable expresseions of the popular will, yet quake with fear lest the very principles upon which those social institutions rest be applied to themselves and to their fellow-citizens.” We submit that so long as the defenders of minority rights and the rights of individuals take this high ground, we are with them. Utility Employment Recently at one of the hearings of the Temporary Commission on the Condition of the Urban Color ed Population in New York, some interestng employment fgures were revealed by A. A. Low, vice presi dent of the Brooklvn Edison Com pany. It was reported that the company employs 411 colored per sons,—6 supervisors, 84 clerks, 48 i mechanics, 228 skilled workers, 45 laborers, and one doctor. Contenders for employment op portunities for Negroes may find i some comfort in these figures. The ! fact that of the total employed, more than half are skilled workers, is encouraging’, indeed. It is in the r.killed trades that the Negro suf- j iers from lack of fair play. The fact that there are some persons in a suj>ervis<ory capacity, and that the clerkships are fairly well represented is encouraging again. And the fact that Negro profes sional life is represented by a doc tor is, to us, most encouraging of all. The representation of the best educated of our group in a corpor ation of this character is highly important, we think. It foreshadows the integregation of our leadership into key spots where it can do a double job—that of the work to bo done, and that of advising in behalf of more amicable relations between the company and the Ne gro group. The employment record in the instance of this company, we think is worthy of praise. -0O0-— NEVER AGAIN Philadelphia, Pa., Cecil Patterson, the long distance bicycle champ spent the day at the home of his aunt after com pleting a journey of 91 miles from N. Y. to Philly in the bitterest of cold weather. It took 13 hours 10 minutes to complete the trip. Counting detours and added mile age to escape traffic the accurate distance was 114 miles. After .stopping 25 to 30 times during the trip, Cecil received hot soup with pleasure his Aunt had prepared. When pressed for a comment he declared, “Never again.” I may try it again in warmer weather.” Spending the week end in Bos ton in company of George McMur ray Editor of the Boston Chronicle it was very interesting to hear of his praises he extoled in behalf of the Boston College football stars, Chet Smith and Rollie Be nard the famous end and tackle of the New England team. The Edi tor declared Chet was not sold to the public in the manner of bally hoo like many other college stars, but won his place in the hearts of thousands of New England football lovers thro great defensive playing and all around ability to the team in tight spots. A great tackle and an asset to any team. With a better team, Chet and Rollie would have been a strong selection for an All American berth. This boy Chet pos seses a wonderful personality and still growing. Next year should find him in the peak of his form. Rollie while not quite the bril liant playing end that Chet com mands at his position, remains one of the strongest ends in the New England sector. With the spirit of Chet to guide him don’t be sur prised to see him the top ranking end in Paul Reveries territory next year. This may possibly be the best race college combination on any team in the country. Otis Gallo way an ex tuft college player of merit gives them a rousing cheer with hiB balot east in their direc tion. You can safetly bet Gal is working in the Government he looks the part of an ex-gridster. In his present form he believes he is able to boot the pigskin around. __oOo Gas Chosen As World’s Fair Fuel Mrs. America has chosen gas as the ideal fuel for cooking in 16, 000,000 homes and now comes an nouncement from the management of the streamlined New York World’s Fair that gas has been selected as the fuel that will fit best into the modemisic theme of this exposition. Gas has been designated exclu sively as the fael to be used for all coofcirjg, water heating and space heating in all of the build ings to be operated by the World s Fair Corporation. Every one of the buildings, remaining after comple tion of the Fair, when the site of tho 1939 exposition takes its place as a major unit of New York’s part system, will use gas for these major jobs. Numerous exhibits of national industries will point with that of the gas industry to demonstrate that “if it’s done with heat, you can do it better with gas.” Gas again has proved its sup eriority as the truly modem, re liable and economical fuel. -0O0-—. Dr. Lyman Harris Fears Fascism Over In France Sharply condemning French for eign and cfomestic policies, Dr. Lyman Harris, professor of history and government at the University of Omaha, today branded French diplomacy “the worst kind of fol ly” and warned that the Daladier government is moving toward fas cism. Dr. Harris was particularly caus tic in discusing France’s present policy of appeasing the dictators. He called Hitler and Mussolini “absolutely untrustworthy” and cit ed a long record 0 fbroken pro mises to prove his charge. “The futility of appeasement in dealing with black-mailing dicta tors is again clearly revealed in Italy’s demand for Tunis. The fas cists arc insatiable and will contin ue to gobble up all they can extort from the pittery democracies.” Tho University of Omaha pro fessor claims France’s “stupid” foreign policy dates back to the days of German democracy under tho We'mar republic. During that period, he points out, France was harsh and unbending toward Ger man, refusing to make any conces sions. But today when she should show resistance, France yields to every demand made by the “fascist-brut alitarian regime under Hitler." “Tho price of folly for France is degradation. After the war. she was a great power with virtual he gemony on the Continent. Today, sho has dwindled to a second-rate power, a tail to the English kite. Her once formidable alliance with tho Little Entente and with Russia is worthless. Her clumsy diplomacy is res ponsible for the Rome-Berlin axia and for a probable fascist victory in Spain. The Spanish non-inter vention agreement was violated by Germany and Italy; and if Franco’s rebels win, FYance will be hemmed in by a ring of fascist powers.” Dr. Harris doesn’t think France wil yield to Italy’s demand for Tunis. He believes that Mussolini will back down, because France may fight to keep Tunis. -O Your Dream Book WHAT DREAMS MEAN IN YOUR LIFE!
