Even though you give skin the protection of a lotion, it's still wise not to sun without building the time of ex posure by degrees.

If there Is danger of bruising the skin and scarring It, It's best to continue applications until the blackheads yield, rather than treat the skin roughly to remove them at one time. Soothe Skin A ftrr Treatm ent The skin w ill be quite red after the treatment, particularly in the areas on which you have concen trated most. Pat on cream and let the redness die down. After the creaming and a lapse of time, remove cream carefully and apply wads which have been dipped in ice water to the skin. These should be patted in an up ward direction, with particular care being used around the eyes. This application of Ice pads should be repeated several times as it shrinks the pores and helps c ir culation, the astringent action of the cold drawing blood to the sur face of the skin. The better the c ir culation. the easier it is for the blood to carry away impurities from the skin.

After you've checked the above pointers, then start on external care. Delicate skins with fine grain and a tendency to dryness may have to depend on creams and lo tions for their cleansing. Average skins do well to combine soap and water cleansings with those of cream. Coarse, oily skin Is best treated with consistent applications of soap and water. Ilo w to Solve Special Skin Defects Blackheads and whiteheads arc common evidences of pore irregu larities. They are both the result of oily accumulations. When the pores are open and the oily deposit col lects grime, a blackhead results. When the oily deposit is under the skin, it Is called a whitehead. Cleansing is the answer to treat ing blackheads. The skin may be creamed or washed with soap and water, or both of these operations may be combined for best éffect. Hot applications may also be used on the face to open the pores and remove the grime. Another good idea is to use warmed oil and dab this on the skin with a clean pad or swab of cotton.

Hundreds of earnest, experienced men and women were there to make reports and speeches: the attorney general of the United States spoke; the mayor of the greatest city spoke. The finest talk I heard, and it was in line with many others, was made by a white-headed, eloquent woman who asked us all to get into politics. Oh, she didn’t mean that you were to leave the children’s lunches and the washing-machine and the vacation outing and “ run" for something. What she asked was that you and I and everyone of us go to the little insignificant local political meetings, study the candi dates for mayor and school board and state offices right in our own towns, hear men discuss measures and candidates—even if it is only for the job of deputy sheriff in a crossroads village of fifty souls. Fatal Indifference It is because of you and me, and our indifference to what is going on politically, right in our midst, that the great international issues go wrong. It is because of you and me t h a t our representatives—w h o haven't the faintest idea what we want or what we think, because we've never told them—lead us into measures utterly unnecessary, extravagant, dangerous. We women know that we could stop wars. We’ve always knowm it. But we can't stop them by passing resolutions and w iring our congress men and senators. Too many of R Upstairs Tenant Downstairs Drip -By W ill Bernard, LL.B.- Liable for Letting W ater Drip on the Floor? A pair of newlyweds moved into a flat over a stationery store. One evening, the wife absent-mindedly left the faucet running in the wash basin—with the plug in! During the night, water leaked steadily through the floor and dripped onto some merchandise in the store below The merchant later filed suit tor the damages he had sustained. At the tria l, the young couple pro tested that the mishap had been "absolutely unintentional,” but the court decided they were liable any how. The judge said that each tenant in a building must use “ rea sonable care" not to damage the property of fellow-tenants. • « « A 10-ycar old girl, riding on one of the "fly in g horses” on a merry- go-round, decided upon an experi ment. Paying no heed to warnings posted on the wall, she dismounted, looked around a bit and then tried to climb back on. But as she did so, the heel of the descending horse struck and injured her ankle.

A congresswoman, smart and busy and well paid and revelling in the excitement of Washington, talked to me of this last week. She has three sons, now 27, 24, and 19. She is a grandmother. "Our town has less than 3,000 inhabitants," she confided to me. “ Phil and I got the habit of going to little political meetings about 10 years ago. "We began to make inform al un important little speeches here and there. I was sent as a delegate to the state capital, lunched with the governor, heard all sorts of talk, and came home thrilled. Three months later some women—and some men, too, called on me and asked me to run for state senator. I won. "There was a lot of political housecleaining to do and I plunged into it. Two or three big municipal abuses went down like packs of cards. It sounds terribly form id able; it wasn't. It was just some unscrupulous men taking advan tage of the political apathy ot all the rest of us. “ Then to my amazement I was running for congress, and saw my picture on all the fences.

Chances are that within a few years you w ill be able to get such an automobile for less than you pay for today’ s cars. What would a nation pay for a peacetime “ m othballing” process that would leave planes, ships, tanks and guns ready to go into action on a second’s notice? A l most any price, probably, but the actual cost would be little more than that of coating them with plastic film , as was done a f t e r World War II. Im portant as they are, these ap plications are but two in prospect with a new graphite coating de veloped by two Los Angeles chem ists, Ralph and Edwin Hall. They said that this coating lubricates in extremes of heat and cold which would render oil useless. It also provides resistance to rust and corrosion which more than meets the toughest m ilita ry demands. The navy already is experiment ing with the coating. Tho Halls say the coating has proved more resistant to salt water than any yet tested. Being only five ten-thousandths of an inch thick, it would not have to be stripped off before the weapon to which it had been a p p l i e d could go into action. The brothers spent more than 10 years developing their patented process of applying graphite coat ing to virtu a lly any metal, plastic or synthetic rubber surface. Last January they put it on the market. Since then. General Manager J. E. Droege said, their Electrofilm Corp, has been swamped with in quiries by the armed forces. "M uch of the work we are doing is secret," Droege said. "But ours is the only lubricating method that can be used effectively in extreme temperatures.” Enclose 25 cents in coins fo r each p a tte rn desired.
