Ga., Aug. 1 (ANP) Negroes, because of their back ground in Africa and other coun tries have much more appreciation of certain colors than have other race groups. At the same time, they tyave not had sufficient edu cation and training on how to sel* I ect inexpensive fabrics and cloth ing of the right color to make the most of their personalities. So says Miss EUa M. Washing ton. professor of home economics at Georgia State college, who did ... < BEHUTy^RomnncE* The Larieuse Beauty Bureau 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. Women of today, volunteers of the Army of Romance, go into the battle for beauty and romance equipped with all-important satchel size handbags! And it is well that the size of handbags has increased, ! because we find that we must carry many ‘Weapons” with us, wherever I we go, wherever we are. What equipment for beauty . . . and let us never overlook that beauty means romance . . . have you in your handbag? In mine, I find that I have lip rouge, rouge, powder, puff, eyebrow brush and pencil, paper tissues for beauty aid, nail file and stick, nail polish for emergency repair of damaged ap pearance, a small kit with needle and thread, because I long ago learned that nothing is so unsightly as a leg-length run in my hosiery. I also carry a small pair of nail scissors, a mirror, a comb, and small vials of foundation and vanishing creams. Doesn't leave much room for re ! serve hankies, identification papers and, of course, a purse, does it? So armed, I feel that I can main j tain my appearance—and thus my ! poise—under almost any situation in which I may chance to find my self during a busy day. Gay Knights of Our Dreams may feel that is a terrifically large num ber of items to carry with you. It i is. But each is necessary, so there | fore is essential. I also have an other collection which I am glad I don’t have to carry with me, but which I feel is very important: my brush collection! Brushes, large and small, play an important role in my personal efforts for attractive appearance. i Because of its health virtue, our toothbrushes—yes, we should have two so that one is always dry—are most important. We should brush our teeth after every meal, and be sure that each nook and cranny around each tooth is reached and cleansed. Hand and nail brushes also are important, and should be used several times daily, followed by application of a suitable lotion so that the hands wTill be soft, fair and smooth. Brushing does not take the per manent out of hair. Rather it gives a wave added softness and natural ness. Repeated brushings, scores of strokes a day, polishes hair to a luxurious sheen. Complexion brushes regularly used remove dead cuticle from the surface and allow the fresh new skin underneath to appear. They are splendid for oili ness, sallowness, muddiness, large pores, blackheads. Try one. Beau tiful results can be obtained in just a few days. A body brush can do the same for body skin when used as a bath brush. Others use powder brushes to good advantage, mostly to remove excess powder which has been ap plied with a puff. With these thoughts in mind, we easily can say that we “can brush our way” to romance! What are your beauty problems? Write: Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Bureau, 3509 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them. Be sure to enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. IMPORTANT FACTS OF NEGRO j HISTORY “TIMBUCTOO, THE MYSTERIOUS” Felix DuBois, in his book “Timbuctoo, The Mysterious” tells the story of a great civilization in the Ancient African Soudan. The many mil lions square miles of territory was conquered by a military genius, Sonrti Ali. He was succeeded by “Askia, The Great” who ruled the far flung empire for thirty three years. Under his lead ership commerce flourished, liberal laws were enacted; agriculture reached its highest level; the best internal revenue system in the history of mankind up to that time, was established, and education attained heights hitherto unknown in the world. A seat of learning was developed in Tim buctoo to which savants came from all parts of the earth seeking opportunities to teach, but found learning so far advanced as to require them to remain to learn. Timbuctoo was the capitol of the Ancient Soudan. Between The LINES... i by DEAN GORDON B. I HANCOCK FOR ANP— OUR WORLD SUPERMESS! If a rose by another name smells just as sweet, it is even so with a research work on the subject while studying for her master’s degree at Iowa university. Her study. “Clothing for Negro Wom en”, is the only one of its kind on record in this country. In it she calls attention to the fact that now while there is great need of saving for national defense much can be accomplished by teaching Negroes how to conserve their income and at the same time dress more becomingly. In mak ing up the color charts, 15 Negro students, men and women, at the university were used. All were of different color, ranging from very dark to very light. It is proposed by Georgia State to establish in the division of home economics this course thus making it possible for students in ail div isions of the college to profit bv the same. President B. F. Hubert in speaking of this contribution in the field of hpmemaking and home industry for Negroes states that this is a very fertile field but long neglected field- Colored people in order to do their best in any in dustry should use their personal ities to best advantage. They can not do this unless they know how to dress well at little cost. The state supervisor of home economics for Georgia, Miss Eliza beth Mayes, is tremendously in terested in this whole field. It was at her suggestion as well as at the suggestion of President Hub ert that this study was made. It is planned to put this study in book form so that it will be avail able to Negro boys and girls in all the schools of Georgia. Imess, which is just, as “messy” by another scientific name. When all as said and done, the situation in which we find ourselves amounts to a mess or supermess. Inter national morality collapsed at Munich and expediency became - the motivating principle thereaf- ^ ter. Today the voice of right is hushed or muffled, and only the s voice of might can be hjeard in the 0 council of the nations. We call o it social chjaos and economic un- e certainty; we call it cultural lag 1 and biological maladjustment; we v call it a conflict of cultures and 1 the evolution of ideologies. But t it all, in fine, amounts to a great 1 big super-mess. c • Civilization like a runaway ^ horse is rushing mankind to some t inevitable doom. We have built great laboratories, mighty univer sities and temples of worship have topped our landed peaks; but like ( the house built upon the sands, we , are threatened with destruction- ( It seems to matter not that we , have tamed the streaking .lightn- i ings, and muffled the grumblings j thunder; the fact remains we are ^ face to face with circumstances that are overwhelming. Our ( mightiest minds are baffled and our confusion is becoming more confounded. Like the weary dis- f ciples on windswept Galilee, we have “toiled all night and caught c nothing”. ( The Russia that Germany spurn I ed was later accepted as ally and ^ comrade; Germany has turned up-1 on that same Russia today with £ | the fury of ian avenging angel. . The Russia that England and the United States have maligned and 1 disparaged is not their faithful al- 3 ly in the serious cause of stemm- , ing the tide of Hitlerism. As many lies have been told on the Russians as have been told on the | hfapless Negro race, and yet today, | Russia is fighting on the side of \ those who have maligned her. I AH kinds of lies have been told i on Russia- Our miltary expel ts I have disparaged her armies, and 1 yet these same armies are making 1 one of the most valient stands. ' Our social philosophers said the 1 Russians would fall apart under ' the first impact of the Hitler war 1 miachine; yet after three weeks the Russian armies are rallying 1 gloriiusly. Although giving way here and there, there is nothing to prove that our army or Britain’s could do better. Of the guinea pig nations on which Hitler has tested his blitzkreig. he is meeting a sterner test in Russia than else where. While Europe commits suicide, we here in America are quarrel ing ourselves to death. We are wasting one of our greatest op portunities to save civilization, squabbling among ourselves. Roosevelt our man of destiny is handcuffed by a congress that is looking as much to the ballot box in 1944 as to the battlefront in 1941. If Hitler wins there will be no ballot box in 1944. We talk a bout bottle necks in this defense effort, but congress is a super bottleneck by itself.
