. "sHOULD, Tie is today’s question.
OR should not women use lipstick?
Mince, indirectly, the use of the stuff is & man's em, I put the Question right where it belongs— before men. : Now fair ladies, don't rustle your plummage, because in the main you'll have to admit that most of your beautifying endeavors are directed to please the male, aren't they? Of course, That's why the ques~ tion should go to the male of the species, Even though I personally think the use of lipstick is a hideous habit, don’t let me deter you because the majority of men who answered my question are in favor of lipstick with one small suggestion at~ tached, “Learn how to put it on.” From the suggestion the fair sex can tell that men know what they're talking about. Men just know, that’s all. Probably the strongest supporter for the use of lipstick is Robert Ogle, Florsheim shoe salesman, Meridian and Washington sts. His answer; “Heck yes. A gal without lipstick looks like she's ready to be buried.” That's not saying too much for the gal without lipstick, is it? The best answer to counteract Mr. Ogle's state ment (I'm trying to keep my opinion out of this) eames from GCeorge Oarroll, clevator starter at the Merchants Bank building.
Absolutely Not
*A GOOD-LOOKING woman,” Mr, Carrol said, “absolutely t need lipstick.”
DO YOU, OR DON'T YOU ?—Most men say yes—to lipstick.
"all he does is watch the elevators fill up and empty. 2
‘everything would be all right.”
Lab's keep in'mind that Mr. Oarrol sees hundreds of beautiful women every day. Let's remember thats
His opinion should not be taken lightly, You might ponder it for a few minutes. 4 Two dapper gentlemen I spproashed in : downtown -establishment and who wished their names be withheld answered my question with two mare. “How many women look good without it?” “Are you nuts?” I had no answer for the latter question, former I merely blurted, “Plenty—plenty.” A man who has seen many summers go by and who has an opportunity to observe the’ fairer sex every day by virtue of the fact that he is * clerk in a bank, made a very sane suggestion, “I think women should wear lipstick, but they shouldn't wear it during the day, in the home, on the streets, or in the presence of children.” An astute man, obviously. Bill Freeland, an employes in thee L. 8, Ayres & Co. optical department; believes most women wear “too much” lipstick. : “I don't object to lipstick as lipstick goes,” Mr. Freeland sighed, “but I do object when a woman looks as if she applied it with a trowel.”
Typical Answers
MR. FREELAND touched on a phase of lipstickwearing that a great many men feel strongly against. Typical answers in this respect include: “If worn properly—lipstick is O. K.” “I don’t mind lipstick on a woman if it isn't smeared all over her mouth} to the point where it destroys the contours of her lips.” “Lipstick adds to the appearance, if a woman knows how to put it on—but not many do.” There's a lot to be learned from those answers, One young man answered my question quickly with “If they (women) all wore lipstick-like my wife!
To the
“Sir,” I asked, “how long have you been married?” “A little over two months,” was his answer, Case rests. Maybe there is a place for lipstick in our society. I'm not thoroughly convinced though. But one can't help thinking more kindly about lipstick after hearing a tirade such as the-following: “Lipstick should definitely be worn. I'm thinkIng of one girl in particular when I say this, At 7 in the morning when she comes to work, she is the scariest thing I have ever seen in my life. But after she paints up—she’s not bad, not bad at all.” 1 acquiesce.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 21.—The capital's biggest blizzard in years was raging. Four full inches of white (all right, Milwaukee, laugh) had fallen. Bureaucrats were penning hurried orders letting the clerks off early so they could fight their way home through the storm. And there in’ the house of representatives, oblivious to the wintry horrors without, were the Republicans making Jove to the Democrats. And, of course, vice versa. Made you think of springtime, fresh violets and a big white moon. Rep. Sam Rayburn of Tex., the former speaker, paid a tribute first to the Republicans. Look at ‘em, he said, sitting there so smug, thinking they were smart for steamrollering the $6 billion budget through the house, His next words were:these: “I just want to say to my colleagues who have not yet served under a Republican majority: this is not all. You will get more of this generous treatment as we go along. Why, I wouldn't be surprised . .. Bang, bang, bankety-bang, went the gavel of Republican speaker Joe Martin of Mass. Mr. Rayburn's “bald head flushed scarlet. He said his time was not up. What did Mr. rtin mean, trying to silence him? Mr. Martin said he wasn't trying to put the quietus on the gentleman from Texas. He merely was banging
"for a little order in the place. And would the gents
in the rear of the chamber kindly sit down?
Act Two
“NO WONDER these gentlemen want to stand up,” muttered Mr. Rayburn, apparently forgetting that he was grousing into the microphone. “They want to protect themselves.” The second act of this drama of hearts and kisses found the elderly Adolph Sabath, Democrat of Chicago, the ex-head of the rules committee, telling

Eye for Action

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 21.—Raoul Walsh has worn a black patch over his right eye for 20 years. ‘He's "not sensitive about it, either. “It comes in rather handy for Hollywood,” he chuckled. “You see only half as many phonies.” Walsh goes back practically to the beginning of the movies. He played John Wilkes Booth in “The Birth of a Nation.” Then he acted and directed. He was directing and starring in “In Old Arizona,” first of the outdoor talking pictures, when an automobile in which he was riding on the desert hit.a jackrabbit. The rabbit bounced against the windshield and splinters of glass necessitated removal of his eye. Since then he has won a reputation as a director with an eye—one eye—for action. Films such as “What Price Glory,” “They Died With Their Boots On,” and now the Teresa Wright-Robert Mitchum super-western, “Pursued.” q Our favorite story about Raoul is the time a process server was waiting outside a sound stage to serve him with papers in a minor lawsuit. All of a sudden the door opened and 20 guys with black patches over their right eyes walked out. - Raoul was one of them but the process server just threw up his hands in disgust and went home,

Old age should not bring the depression that it does.” Except for a little loss in speed and stamina, they said, oldsters can learn and produce almost as much as ever. But they must overcome ithe inferiority - complex barrier {which makes them feel they are worthless because they are older. “Confident living,” the doctors believed, “will help reduce the depression that commonly plagues old folks. Naturally, anyone losing his security and friends, as old folks often do, will suffer a natural depression. However, this should not be mistaken for senile psychosis.” A plan of ‘rehabilitation to give people in later years a new. lease on life and a chance to contribute to society is the clinic's objective.
