I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh
my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven
and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; He that keep
eth thee will not slumber.—Psalms CXXL. Vs. 1,2, 3.
The Japanese and Germans are alike in that in trying to make
more room for their own people they kill their neighbors . . .
The World War began by the killing of an Austrian Arch
duke at Sarajevo on June 28, 1914 ... On July 28th Austria de
clared war on Serbia ... At that time Italy was a member of the
Triple Alliance ... On May 4, 1915, several months after the
beginning of the World War, Italy renounced her treaty obliga
tions to the Triple Alliance . . . And now, Italy ,allied with Ger
many is hesitating, and the course Italy takes will be determined
later . . . Religion is likely to have something to do with the course
this country takes . . . The Pope has already expressed the wish
that Catholics in German Poland be permitted to worship ... He
knows that Catholics in Russia will not be permitted to worship . ..
We read that prosperous city shoppers have in the past
months paid as much as sixty cents per pound for “Drumsticks”
of Polish pigs . . . Another Polish product, chicken breasts, was
quite popular with this same class of trade . . . Germany has in
the past looked longingly at this product of Poland . . . And now
Germany and Russia have possession of Poland, they will no
longer have the American market as an outlet . . . However, very
likely, they can consume the products and will have no need for
exporting them . . . Polish pigs have been given as much care
as a Persian cat is given here and the result has been that they
have been able to put better grades of meat on the market than the
American farmer .. . And so the Polish farmer, of the past was
paid, for the resulting efforts.
The American people were aroused to action during the World
War by the activities of the Germans in this country in 1914-1916.
. . . And when Congress assembled last week the members were
subjected to a barrage of propaganda. Printed leaflets have been
distributed in other places. Those who do these things do not un
derstand the American attitude, for it only arouses resentment
for outsiders to undertake to mold public opinion. Memphis, Tenn,
was flooded with unimportant Nazi propaganda recently ... It
was said to have been printed in Germany, but mailed in Memphis.
Even the chief of police of the city received the leaflets . . . And
if there are Nazi agents in a city, distinctly Southern, how many,
one wonders are there in the northern, eastern and industrial
centers where the foreign born forms a high percentage of the
population.
The soy bean which flourishes in Georgia has been placed
high in rank as a food supply. Chinese people who have eaten it
for ages are reported as being taller, heavier and more vigorous
than their rice eating neighbors. The matter of stature seems to
be a matter of food, as the younger generation of Japanese now
living on the west coast of our country are also improved in
stature. The soybean is said to have been in use as food for 5000
years, and a recent article speaks of it as the food of tomorrow.
I he chemical analysis of this bean shows 40 percent protein, 20
percent fat and the balance carbohydrates and minerals. Many,
and varied are the uses of the soybean. It has been used chiefly
here as a crop that improves the soil and for livestock, but the
time may come when the soy bean may solve the problem of
food for many people who are undernourished.
Remembering the propaganda of the last war it is rather
important for Americans to realize that much of the news re
ceived concerning the war in Europe is mostly what the officials
of the warring nations want us to read.
Many of the true facts will be concealed as they were during
the last struggle. Naturally stories of atrocities will be heard.
We have already had them given out by Germany of the treatment
of the Germans in Poland before the conquering Germans marched
in . . . Most of these come from the fertile imaginations of the
propagandists ...
Already there are two unsolved mysteries which interest the
world. The truth of one, the whereabouts of the Bremen, will
some time be revealed. Whether Von Frisch was assassinated
or killed in action by the German secret police may possibly be
told when this war is over . . .

“LITTLE SUIT’ CORE OF
SMART FALL WARDROBES
Those “little jacket” suits beloved
by smart women the world over are
so essentially a part of the fall fashion
panorama that even though you may
have to wear half-soled shoes and
last year’s hat to include one in your
clothes budget, you’ll find’ it worth i
the sacrifices.
Os course one has to admit that'
such suits are for the woman who i
also makes sacrifices at meal times 1
in the cause of slenderness but given i
a figure that doesn’t bulge in the i
wrong places the little suit probably ;
will do more for you than any en
semble of which you can think.
The ones the couturiers have de- i
vised this fall are so beguiling that
it will be difficult to discard them with |
the advance of colder weather and i
they probably will be appearing
throughout the winter beneath fur.
coats.
One of the smartest versions is the *
suit with waist length jacket of Per-1
sion lamb, flaring skirt of a dressy i
wool fabric edged around the bottom
with a band of the lamb. Another
type is the suit having a peplum
jacket and skirt fullness at the back.
The bolero suit with lapels of lamb
or sheared beaver is grind for the
streamlined girl and the bell boy suit
with Eton collar and a double row
of buttons down the front is a good
model for the size fourteens to six
teens.
The best idea is to drop in at’your
own favorite shop and try on two or
three different models to decide which
is best for your figure.

MAKEUP SHOULD TONE WITH
NEW AUTUMN COLORS
With autumn spilling all sorts of
exciting colors out of its basket it is
not surprising that the cosmeticians
have been busy evolving new shades
of makeup to harmonize with the rich
hues we will wear this season.
One of the most exciting of the
new fall makeups is burnt sugar,
which has the happy faculty of blend
ing equally well with the high fash
ion greens, the browns and taupes
that are so strongly in the fall pic
ture and the very new slate blues.
The latter are so softly toned and so
flattering they undoubtedly will- gain
popularity as the season advances.
The new make-up comes in matched
sets of rouge and lipstick with har
monizing powder. Made by a na
tionally known cosmetics house, it un
doubtedly can be had in your favorite
department or drug store.

18,250 MIRROR HOURS
IN EVERY WOMAN’S LIFE
c
American women spend approxi
mately 14,620,000,000 hours a year in
front of their mirrors!
What’s more, the average member
of the fair sex devotes about 18,250
hours of her life span to looking at
herself.
These facts aren’t cited merely to
prove the old adage, “Vanity, thy
name is woman,” but to indicate the
importance of the mirror in feminine
existence.
Through the centuries since the
first burnished metal disk outmoded
the “touch system” or “trial-an-error’’
coiffure, the looking glass has had an
eventful history. But new styles in
mirrors are even more colorful, speak
ing literally.
Polished plate glass mirrors in col
ors of gold and peach are the latest
vogue, and they are much in demand
by the smart hostess who appreciates
the flattering manner in which these
set off a room and reflect one’s ap
pearance.

MARKETS ARE BRIGHT
WITH AUTUMN FRUITS
With all of autumn’s gay bright
fruits and vegetables filling the mar
kets now, shopping for the daily
menus is really lots of fun.
This year, too, the homemaker gets
a real budget break because apples,
grapes and pumpkins are economy
items featured by food chains. All
three items, have infinite variety
where desserts are concerned and
meanwhile, one can also help along
the cause of the former which the
chain stores are fostering.
Here is a recipe for grandmother's
apple turnover which should be put
into your own cook book under the
four star list:
Bake a rich biscuit shortcake; split,
butter and fill in between and on top
with hot applesauce, seasoned with
nutmeg and sweetened to taste with
sugar and dotted lightly with butter.
Serve cut in squares with butter
sauce.
The recipe for butter sauce is %
cup of butter, 1 % tablespoons of flour
and 2 cups of boiling water. Blend
butter and flour, stir in hot water
gradually and cook until it thickens.
No sugar is added. Makes two cups
of sauce.

A few thoughts in time before the

I will usually save considerably more
than the usual number of nine so far
as erupting tempers caused by indoor
confusion are concerned.
There probably is no time of the
year when it is as important to plan
well in advance in order to keep the
household running as nearly on an
even keel as possible. With the
youngsters starting back to school,
with the weather more apt than not
to be uncertain and with club meetings
being resumed even the cleverest of
time budgeteers frequently finds her
self bogged down.
A routine which a friend of ours
has followed for several years and
works with increasing smoothness
each succeeding year goes something
like this. First of all, the clothes
closets are thoroughly overhauled.
Summer clothes are segregated, clean
ed or washed as the occasion demands
and stored away. In this connection
don’t overlook clothes bags now made
of foroseal-coated materials which
are proof against stains and damp
ness. Moreover the koroseal does not
develop an odor as do many other
synthetics.
After the closets are cleaned thor
oughly,. they are rearranged and
placed in perfect order. Next, before
the real work of changing the living
room and other portions of the house
into winter dress commences, she
takes a couple of days to do some bak
ing so that there will be no problem
about meals.

Formerly you may have glanced only at the newspaper headlines.
Now, with the world at war, you are delving deep into finer print for
the details, for fuller interpretation of a fast-changing scene. Keeping
the public informed is the newspapers’ year ’round job, but in times
like these we appreciate and read them more.
Re sure that you have good light for your reading. Give your eyes
good working conditions with good light — light that is free from glare,
light that is uniform, light that is scientifically correct, in quality as
well as quantity. The kind of lighting, in short, that is provided by
