But yet I do think that a freshening up would be good for my soul. Have you any good ideas?” Why not finish off the top of the windows with cord swags, as shown in the sketch? In a deep glowing ; tone of red. Then have new lamp ‘shades all around of dark red satin stretched in tailored trimness. Right there you’d have quite a fresh feel ing in the room. Add a pair of big flat soft square cushions in beige damask for the sofa and perhaps a grouping of gilt wall brackets (or tiny single shelves) to hold some fig urines in blue porcelain . . . these wouldn’t be too expensive to buy and would make quite a change in the effect of an important wall. They might be used on either side of a painting, or else you could get an odd number and make an independ ent composition.

Tip About Griddle Cakes and Waffles Can Do Double Duty With Help of Sandwich Grill emmsmmmemsmmessmmsmmsmssmmu^sm By EDITH M. BARBER TF YOU are a business woman A housekeeper or are for any other reason interested in a quick meal, I hope somebody was thoughtful enough to give you a sandwich grill or a waffle iron or a combination of both. You can make griddle cakes and waffles do double duty, if you like, and serve them instead of potatoes with your meat—and a gravy, of course—and then with syrup, honey, marmalade, cinnamon and sugar or whipped cream for dessert. You will always find some one at the table who will love to bake the pan cakes or to manipulate the waffle iron, and that in itself makes electric table cookery a pleasure. Don’t forget that electric appli ances are not supposed to be greased. This will not be necessary if you put plenty of shortening in your mixtures. This allows smoke less cooking in the dining room. Pre-heating is necessary for a few minutes. It happens that both my grill and waffle iron demand seven minutes for this. Yours may be dif ferent. And now about the batters. There are innumerable recipes which vary from each other in some respect. Most of them are good, if they call for plenty of shortening and if you do not beat your mixture much. Some people seem to feel that this is a necessary operation, although the contrary is true. The batters should not be too thick, although that for griddle cakes will vary with your choice of a thin or thick prod uct. It is generally a good idea to make a “try cake.” You may add more liquid to the griddle cake bat ter without harming it. In fact, it is pretty £ard to spoil griddle cakes; Griddle Cakes. 3 cups flour 5% teaspoons baking powder IVi teaspoons salt Vt cup sugar 1 egg V* cup melted shortening 2 cups milk Mix and sift dry ingredients.

Pan-American Trade Proves Friendly Link Between Nations United States-South American Trade Developed After Civil War Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. “Foreign trade has long arms,” said a rancher on the Argentine pampa. “I buy a Chicago windmill to pump water for my cattle, miles of barbed wire to fence my pas tures, or a tractor from Detroit; I pay by selling North America a load of hides for tanneries, a cargo of flaxseed for paint fac tories—or I sell my hogs and cattle to a local packing plant that ships meat to London, and pay in cash.” Such is the essence of world trade. Portuguese had founded the old town of Olinda, near what is now Recife (Pernambuco) in Brazil, about 100 years before Henry Hud son saw Manhattan island; by the time Massachusetts colony was be ing formed, they had already built many sugar factories thereabouts. Soon afterward, Dutch traders es tablished Pemajnbuco, where cen turies later the German transatlan tic dirigible long tied up. How gold - hunting Spaniards blazed trails from Panama to Ar gentina, conquered and sacked In dian settlements, and built their own titles and afiffehes is an oft-told tale. No less familiar is the record of English exploration, with the adven tures of Sebastian Cabot, Sir Fran cis Drake, Hawkins, and others. England Takes the Lead Up to the time of our Civil war, probably no man anywhere imag ined what a destiny lay ahead of this continent. Of course these young nations needed credit, capital, immigration —besides advice—just as did our own land in its youth. As with us, too, it was from Europe these things first came, in return for South Amer ica’s raw materials. England, particularly, took the lead. Though she did not send emi grants by hundreds of thousands, as Italy later did, she gave credit, sup plied capital and business brains, started ocean ship lines, laid cables, and built railways until by 1900 she dominited the finances and com merce of all South America. Guano from Peru was coming around the Horn to Baltimore, for use on our Atlantic coast farms, when the Mexicans still owned Cali fornia. In 1809 Brazil sent us her first coffee, a cargo of 1,522 bags, landed at Salem, Mass., from the ship Marquis de Someruelas. From that first small shipment this trade has grown till now it takes 7,000,000 or 8,000,000 bags of Brazilian coffee to meet our needs. Foreigners Take Roles. Like Cecil Rhodes in Africa, cer tain foreign pioneers played con spicuous roles in South America’s early development. Some were English, some Irish, some from the United States. There was William Wheelwright, a Yankee who founded the historic Pacific Steam Navigation company, built railways, and had monuments raised in his honor. And Henry Meiggs, from California, who “flung the amazing Oroya Railway across the sky-piercing passes of the Peru vian Andes”; and the two Harmans of Virginia, John and Archer, of “Guayaquil to Quito” fame. In that miraculous rail-laying task, they say fever took one human life for every tie laid through 50 miles of jungle. Both brothers were dead before this job was done —one killed by a landslide; but not before the hardest work was fin ished and the rails well on their way to lofty, isolated Quito. Fresn from County Cork, 200 young Irishmen landed in Peru one day in 1850. Among them was Wil liam R. Grace. Malaria killed most of the band; other survivors went on to Australia, but Grace stuck. He started business with a store ship serving Peru’s Chincha islands guano fleet and lived to see a pas senger fleet of his own swarm over two seas, a fleet that was later to tend one of the first ships through the Panama canal and the first un- The United Slates imports seven or eight million bags of Brazilian coffee each year. Here thousands of pounds are being burned in order to stabilize the price. The U. S. received its first shipment of coffee in 1809. der the new Golden Gate bridge at San Francisco. Panama Canal Opened. When Grace died, long eventful years after his guano adventure, he had been twice mayor of New York city and had built up an organiza tion which for far-flung diversity of operations was and is without paral lel under the American flag. Opening of the Panama canal speeded up sale and travel between the Americas and saw the Grace operations broaden almost to resem ble such historic firms as the East India or Hudson’s Bay companies. Besides its sea and air ships, its two-way barter with South America is a perfect example of how com merce flows. Southbound, its boats may carry food, steel, farm imple ments, or other machines needed there, and bring back to us anything from tin and nitrate to balsa wood and coffee.. Rubber’s Uses Multiplied. Most of the world’s rubber once came from the Amazon valley. After A typical Gaucho soldier in the south of Brazil. Gauchos, herds- »/ men of the pampas, are noted for their skill in horsemanship and guerrilla warfare. the discovery of vulcanization, rub ber’s uses multiplied and demand for it raised prices to $3 a pound. Brazilians made fabulous fortunes almost overnight. Then this rubber goose that laid the eggs of gold was slain. Rubber seeds, smuggled out, were used to start new plantations in Malaysia; now they supply most of the world’s needs, and Brazil’s output has dwindled to a few tnousand tons. However, following studies by the American Rubber commission, a Brazilian subsidiary of the Ford Motor company began operations in 1927 in the Amazon valley, original home of the rubber tree. Comprising some 2,500,000 acres, the rubber lands lie along the Tapa- joz river, a big tributary of the Amazon. At Fordlandia, 110 miles from the Amazon, the first trees were planted in 1929, and this year the first tappings of latex were made. At Belterra, about 30 miles above the Tapajoz’s mouth, another plan tation is being started. This one is laid out in squares, and 25-foot roads run straight through at mile- and-a-half intervals. Up to July 31, 1937, on both rubber farms more than 12,000 acres have been cleared and planted to 2,200,000 seedlings. In a nursery about five million more young trees are being grown. The company has built its own town, with water works, sewers, hospital, stores, homes for the United States staff and native workers, a sawmill, dry kilns, electric plant, miles of roads, docks, warehouses, etc. It is also experimenting with a view to growing and marketing other _ tropical products, such as fibers, j nuts, and vegetable oils. Glosses Need Not Detract From Beauty By PATRICIA LINDSAY S OME beauty authorities stress eye make-up if you must wear eyeglasses, but I stress hair styling and lip rouge. In the first place, if your eyes are so weak that constant use of glasses is necessary, the less you tamper with them the better. The simplest care of daily bathing with a reliable lotion, and healing drops prescribed by your occulist, should be the extent of your fussing. Plenty of rest and eye exercise, of course, but no mascara nor eye shadow nor penciling. Touch up your brows, yes, and keep them trim. But do not pluck them to a thin line. Many physi cians offer the opinion that too fre quent plucking of the eyebrows weakens the eyes. So you see? Concentrate, on Hair and Lips Put on your glasses and sit be fore your mirror. Comb your hair softly around your face. Change your regular part Experiment In most cases, hair brought down softly Over the ears, fluffed a bit to fall out on the cheek, just below the ear shaft of the glasses, is the most flattering. But if you are the sleek type, and comb your hair back from your face, then you must accent your lips to detract from the frames. Full lips of rich color, not too deep, does a lot for you. Sleek or feminine in hair style, the manner in which you rouge your lips is most important. Try two lip sticks. The lighter color for the upper lip, the deeper tone for the lower lip. Liquid lip rouge painted on with a fine brush and a steady hand, is the most lasting. It takes a little practice to apply it well, but it is worth the effort in the end. . Keep your hair glossy, with daily care, and nicely set. Keep your skin clear and your teeth sparkling white; your brows trim and your lip coloring intact and I can vouch that your eyeglasses will be hardly noticed. If you feel the desire for some eye make-up rely on vaseline or • reliable eye oil with which to light ly massage your lids and lashes. They glisten and give some depth to the eyes, and are also beneficial. Health Essential To Charm A rule she teaches is: “Watch your health. Sleep, exercise and drink water. Too many women in this country are below par. Noth ing reveals your character to people more quickly than the expression you carry, your voice and your state of health. “If you are physically below par you may have a nervous disorder which should be taken care of, but otherwise you should be able to keep well by eating proper food at regu lar hours, getting eight, nine or ten hours of sleep, and by exercising in the fresh air and sunlight. “Don’t always complain of being tired and of things making you nerv ous. If your health is good you are not nervous, merely cranky, and people soon discover it. If your health is poor do something about it.” Strong words, aren’t they? And here are some more well worth di gesting and particularly suited to the growing girL “Don’t count on being only beauti- fuL You can overestimate the ap peal of a beautiful foot, a tiny waist or long lashes. Cultivate wit, hu mor, tact, genuineness. Pay atten tion to your posture, carriage and gesture. Develop gentleness of ges ture, a pleasing manner. Be yield ing in your dealing with others, nev er dictatorial, never too aggressive. And above all things be particular about your personal appearance. Dress neatly, appropriately, and with an eye to the decorative. Nev er, never be overdressed!” C Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.

Make this of flat crepe, silk print or thin Care of the Hair Not all women can afford the lux ury of having their hair done by a professional every week. But with a little practice, you can do a pro fessional job yourself. Cleanliness of the hair is the first requisite. This means a good sham poo at regular intervals. Then choose a hairdress that you can han dle yourself. Stay away from any thing elaborate or extreme. That requires a really professional touch. If you want curls, make them few and substantial. The trick combs that curl and comb at the same time are a big help. For grooming, the maker of one of these combs has a quick drying lacquer that makes an excellent setting flu id. The bottle has an atomizer, per mitting you to spray the lacquer where you want it. This lacquer helps tremendously with the new high hair-do.
