Year $5.00 — 6 Months $3.00 — 3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) That's How To Be Beautiful! A Hollywood cosmetician, writing on the relationship of beauty to the inner life, offered what we like to think of as sobering advice which more of us should need in our hearts daily living. Here is how he puts it: "The faces of women will show their emotional and mental backgrounds, the spirits which feed the souls. That is why there is more to physical beauty than appears on the surface. "One of the greatest menaces to beauty is worry. Worry creates agitated lines in a face which should be smooth and flawless. Worry affects our adrenal glands, giving us high or low pressure, disfigures the skin. "Worry upsets our digestion. This leads to pimples, boils, rashes, and other facial disorders. Worry endows us with a hangdog expression, ruinous to beauty. "If you want to be beautiful control your temper. Anger, spitefulness, nervous outbreaks are bad for your looks. They lend a mean expression to the face. Above all, don't eat when you are in a temper; you'll have indigestion or others stomach troubles. "Ill temper is a developed characteristic; so is grouchiness, moroseness, or any expression of harsh and violent emotions. They add lines to our face and an expression of discontent. "Magnifying physical defects is a grave mistake. Attractive women are often not beautiful women they are made glamorous by highlighting their best features, by vivacity, good temper, and personal charm. To be truly attractive and beautiful, you must think right, live-right inside, be right inside your body and soul." That's great advice! It is just the kind of tonic all of us need in this atomic age, when we are overcome by haunting fears which probably never will overtake us. But to expect Americans to live by this wholesome counsel, is asking too much, we suspect. However one needs not lie reminded of the hundreds and hundreds of people we encounter, almost daily suffering from useless and senseless worries which will never come. The classis truth uttered by Franklin D. Roosevelt during the early days of the bank crisis we think, holds true now, he said, "there is nothing to fear except fear." REVIEWING NEWS BY WILLIAM GORDON While millions everywhere pause lo take part in the celebrated Caster Parade ceremonies, there will also be those whose memories will go back to the incident concerning the life of the man who made this day possible. To concern ourselves with the problems and the life of this great leader is also to be concerned about present world conditions and the way these conditions affect people everywhere. The world is still having its problems. Great leaders like Christ and others have given their life's blood in order that all of us might share in a more wholesome and decent future. Some of us have been able to visualize and appreciate this great sacrifice, but in the final analysis most of us have shown little concern. It has been almost two thousand years since Christ died that we all might have an opportunity to live. In many respects man has done very little toward showing his appreciation for this great sacrifice. World friction has been with us for many thousand years. World peace we are told cannot be based upon the sovereign equality of nations but must rest upon worldwide legal order, standing above nations, and pressing the power to create law and enforce it upon individuals. We think this would be an ideal setup, provided the super-government would learn what has not been appreciated in the United States, that the rights of individuals must not be snuffed out in an effort to produce a uniform pattern of conduct. At the present time however, we see no prospect that the nations, including the United States, are ready to abrogate their soverignty. The trend of popular opinion, it seems, is the other way. We do not know when the ideal super-state will arrive. Someday it will come into being but it will not be possible until the majority of the people of the world grow wisely tolerant dissidents. The peace of the world depends more upon the willingness of people to live and let live than upon the type of governments that exist.

Hughes was between first and second and after the ball was missed by the right fielder I broke for third, Hughes for second and Wright being the fastest nun in the league, boy he was digging. All three runners around third almost together. The ball was Being relayed from the outfield to the infield. I slid on the right side of home plate. Hughes slid on the left and Wright slid down thru the middle Perkins the catcher, had the ball in time, tagged at all three and got no one. Things happened just that fast.
