The Clinton News Record, 1930-12-25, Page 7'Make These•Beauty • Resolves For 1931 Now, More .Than Ever,•Fem-. inine Loveliness Looms High in the Social Whirl If everyone kept every New Year's resolution made in the bright hopeful hours of the young year -what a wonderful world this would be! Yet there are always a few re%olu- • tipns we do keep, . And women who realize the importance of retaining their youth, .and gaining more beauty with each year should count among their resolutions the vow to follow. the, lawsofbeauty tally throughout the entire year. . Beauty lies more in clear, well - eared -for skins, well -brushed hair, clean sparkling- teetb, and all evi- dences of health, cleanliness and in- telligence than lji mere , doll -like prettinese. Beauty can be acquired. Not per- haps the Mind of beauty that will add your name to the list of immortal beauties; but certainly the hind of beauty that will improve your own looks many tinges. No woman today cares to be placed in the.. category of beautiful but dumb; neither mon nor Women, 'tolerate in their society a dumb or stupid person. The old days when mere doll -like prettiness was an advantage have passed. We must 'have some cleverness, some mental advantages to go along with our appearance. However, she who hath both beauty and brains` has a definite ad- vantage over the girt who cultivates either asset at the expense of the other. This is why we find the high- school graduate, the college woman, the progressive, wife and mother giv- ing a certain amount of time each day to the duty of improving their looks. These are the girls and woinen who know the value of keeping their `beauty resolutions. It must be an. everyday practice to build up more oeauty: If you set a few rules for Yourself to begin w.th, and make them an automatic part of every day's duties, you will soon see enough results to them, and adhere to them, as wall. Age Doesn't Count 1 want you to make some bointy resolutions this bright New Year. I don't care how oli ;son are or how Ming YOU are; !f you begin right now to form a .+i";!'1 beauty habit, and adhere to it, t'rr'wghout all this year, I prorrr180 you, tele time next year your will admit that you have been repaid tor your attention. Let me see. In France they begin with their girl babies, keeping their little bodies supple and sound. When they grow into little girlhood they are taught small duties, such as sit- ting erect in their chairs, learning to place their feet correctly in walking, and so on. In Canada, all too fre- quently, girls are not taught these things till they begin to teach them- selves, Often Canadian women feel selfxonscious about paying attention to their looks, as though it were a shameful thing to be careful of the bodies that were given to them by tho same Divine Law that makes flowers beautiful. Wo owe much ,LnorQ to or personal beauty than we Jo to i1i Witty of our flow'dr gar- dens, but as a matter of progress we should not neglect either of them. I want to • give you a little New Year's present, I want to give you a list of beauty resolutions that I have made out for you—all simple things that will not take much time. Hell. Robot Miss Sue LaBall looks over the mechanical hen which was one of unique exhibits at annual poultry and pet stock exposition which' was held recently in Chicago Coliseum, Winter Carnes to the Southwest Shorter grows the days, While the peach trees flame, And persimmons burn behind their thinning leaves, Grapevines smolder darkly, copper and maroon, The air is fruity, with a mellow haze;' Pomegranates open scarlet ]hearts In a kind of golden light, Flowing slowly, thickly, ground, The hills end valleys float Within an amber.- glaze And a sweet and tangent around; And then a'restless tension takes the air, The dry soil quickens, and late in the night, The first rain falls, And in the morning there is wind Leaves seek the earth, and every- where The trees stand bare, Etched clear against a slcy ing blue; Yet up and Clown each through The sidewalk, on the garden path, Everywhere the gallant breeze can pass, New grass Is bursting in deep emerald veins , Young violets break in purple with the dawn, And freesias lift pale faces to the sun; Lasting Rewards The following resolutions are the first and simplest of Beauty Rules. I know many women wbo follow them —and they are always the women who command attention for their charming looks. One of these women is about seventy, and I assure Toth she looks younger than many a woman young enough to be her dau- ghter. "I tient do much, my dear," she says simply when I tell her how wonderful she is; "I just keep clean inside and outside, think as nice thoughts as I van about my fellow men, do a good deed here and there, and add a little ' powder and the slightest tinge of rouge to my cheeks for good measure," Then she 'smiles at your with her wonderful smile, and you see the lovely dimple in the faint , pink of her cheeks, and decide you will certainly "keep your beauty resolutions all the rest of your life." Resolved: To eat my meals regu- larly, and to select the most whole- some and nutritious foods. To eat slowly,'ajid as sparingly as my health and strength permit. Resolved: To get out-of-doors for a walk every day, even if for only ten Minutes. To walk briskly, breathe deeply and stand correctly while I am taking this exercise. Resolved: To take a quick' but ,tiferough bath every day I can. Resolved: To go to my dentist once a year to -have my teetb exam- ined. Resolved: To get enough hours' sleep every night, in a well -ventil- ated room. Resolved: To watch my temper, guard my tongue- and govern my nerves. Resolved:• -To brush my hair care- fully each day. To shampoo it at regular intervals of days or weeks, according to its needs. Resolved: To brush my teeth every night and morning, and at midday if I can conveniently do so. Resolved: To care for my finger- nails. Resolved: TO cultivate the fine- ness and health of my .complexion. To spend .at least ten niinutos every night in removing the soil of the day with a good cleansing cream. • S. S. Adams.

Minard'sLiniment for Frost Bite. near the odor is of sting - hillside, Words in German Often Made Up flake Dominoes A Frenchman calling attention .to the fact that in some languages words are glade up as in a game of 'dominoes ty adding new- pieces proceeded to have fun in the following bray in showing how it was done in German, says "The Pathfinder." A kangaroo in German is "beutc'- ratteu," meaning a rat with a bag. A cage is a "kotter," so a kangaroo cage is a "beutelrattenkotter." Grating of a cage is, called "latten" and the roof "getter," hence a kangaroo cage with a roof and grating would be "beutel- rattenlattengitterkotter." Going a step further, bad weather in German is "unwetter." So a kangaroo cage with a roof of grating to protect it from bad weather would consequently be "beutelrattenlattengitteru n w e t t e r- kotter." Another example: .A Hottentot mother in Gzrntan is "Hottentottemnutter." Children who stammer are called "straetertrottel," so a Hottentot mother of such children would be "Hottentottenstraetertrottel- mutter. To add a little, an assassin is an "attentates." Accordingly, the' as- sassin n: the mother just described would be "Hottentottenstraetertrottel- mutterattentater." Huge fields are white with cotton, green With bgh•IeY, alfalfa scents the air for miles And miles, and there are eager ]leads Of crispy lettuce growing in between The budded walnut trees— And each and every one of these Seems to declare: Winter comes—in this, the far South- west, And beauty hums and loveliness is blest, And growth is everywhere! • Earth's Core Composed Of Iron and Nickel The core of the earth is composed of iron, Dr, Leeson H. Adams, phys- ical chemist of the Geophysical Lab- oratory, Carnegie Institution, of Washington, says in a research nar- rative issued by the Engineering Foundation. "Neglecting the relatively thin film of Sedimentary rocks at the surface," aecerding to Dr. Adams, "there is a first lay er of granite ten miles thick; below that a layer a basaltic rocks twenty miles thick; then 2,000 miles of peridotite, a reek VW; at the sur- face, consisting of iron magnesium silicate, and finally a central core 4,000 miles in diameter of metallic iron with a little nickel. "Perhaps the most striking feature of the composition of the whole earth is that our globe is glade up almost entirely of four elements: iron, mag- nesium, silicon and oxygen; the re- maining eighty-eight possible elements are confined to the thin film called the crust." —Peter A. Lea.—in "The Christian Science Monitor." Artificial Sunlight May Soon Be produced Measurement of sunshine may soon enable scientists to produce artificial sunlight for the treatment of diseases and the promotion of growth which can be regulated in intensity to comes pond to natural sunlight at different times and seasons, according to a re- search narrative prepared for the En- gineering Foundation by Arthur C. Downes, of the research staff of the National Carbon Company of Cleve- land. Physicians in charge of sanatoria in which sunlight is used for its bene- ficial effects have measured the strength of natural sunlight in sum- mer, . winter and fall. They believe that "noon winter sunshine" is the best standard for the measurement of healing or "clinical" sunshine, sum- mer sunlight being too strong. Carbon arcs are used to produce the artificial light'.

In the midst of an extensive forest, owned by the Government, 50 young men, who have been for a long time idle in the eity streets, and with no objective in life, are now proud and pleased workers, bringing new hope in surroundings that cannot be exceeded in loveliness in any part of the world. This organization is the result of an appeal by the Central Methodist Mis- sion under the leadership of the Rev. Samuel Forsyth, which has led so far to the raising of £6,000.' The Government has given • practi- cally an unlimited area of land, as it is anxious to insure the success of this happy little colony in the untamed scrub. Only a dense forest confronted the men when they went down to begin operations, but within ten weeks, the nucleus.of a big industrial farm has been established. Trees are being felled for agriculttral land and roads are being made, preparatory to the erection of . more substantial homes than the huts which the men now oc- cupy. Eventually, the colony will have electric light, telephones and all -the amenities of a modern settlement. A retired well-to-do agriculturist, Samuel It. Gray, has given his ser- vices to supervise Operations, and sev- eral fine wooden huts with brick fire- places, and ample space for four men, have been built. It is not a just -do -as - you -please sort of settlement, for strict discipline is observed and there are penalties for breaches of rules. The men are not allowed to leave the colony without permission, and there are fixed working hours -8.80 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an hour for lunch. "Lights out" is sounded at 10.30 p.nh., and three regular meals are served. Six acres have now been sown to oats and fruit trees, and vegetable plots have been introduced. Stock is being rais- ed for marketing. Large poultry runs will be a feature, a Al poultry rearing will be conducted on modern lines on a large scale. There will shortly be nearly 2,000 birds on the colony. The area so far cleared for grazing is 170 acres, and as the land in this locality is particularly goad for vege- tables, the men are growing Iarge Sup- plies for the Adelaide market. The organizing commissioner, Mr. Forsyth, says that although the colony has been established primarily to re- lieve the prevailing unemployed, it is hoped to make it a permanent benefit to the State. When Home Paper Ia Late When the home paper ::ryes to be a few hours late, post o:;fee em- ployees are besieged with requests, demands and coenplaints. The arrival of the home -town paper IS looked for- ward to each w-ek with pleasurable anticipation in most of the homee of the community. Did you ever hear of a post office patron complaining be- cause he did not receive an adver- tising circular, store sales bill, mail order type magazine? Disgusted at the financial returns from poetry, the long-haired contribe- for had left a collection of jokes with the editor. When he called about them, he was delighted with the editorial comment. "These jokes • are both good and original, said the editor, but un- luckily he did not stop there. "But the good jokes," he continued, "are not original, and the original jokes, are not good," BUYING COFFEE The most important thing to re- member in buying coffee, is that it be freshly roasted. Coffee contains aromatic oils which are volatized in the roasting and much of this savor is lost Wiese the roasted coffee is quickly and hermetically sealed.

Ancient 'Tea Trunk New York.—A tree trunk believed to .be mole than 20,000 year's old has been dug up in the East River, Dr. Chester A. Reeds, curator of geology, of the American Museum of Natural History, announced here on Dec. 10. It was found about 150 feet below the surface, near the foot of the Brook- lyn pillar of the Manhattan Bridge and was discovered by Francis Don- aldson, chief engineer for Mason and Hager, who are constructing the Rutgers Street tunnel. Dr. Reeds said its age was between 20,000 and 50,000 years. He added that several equally aged reinvents of trees have been uncovered at var- ious times during the eoginew^ing work in different parts of New ' City.
