This committee recommends: "That the recess:-ry steps be taken to convpkc a constitutional convention. "That a comprehensive and adequate State-wide law be emfcted for compulsory attendance upon the sc hools of the State. "That progressive measures be taken to remove the blight of udult illiteracy from our State.

"County superintendent of education be placed on a better professional and financial basis. "Liberal State appropriations 1 should b(. continued and enlarged. "An adequate health program, including physical training, medical in- 1 spection, dental inspection and the employment of school nurses where practicable. i "Increased attention to industrial and vocational education in all of its I phases.

That the committee holds can be done. sucessfull0*oniy in a constitutional convention. SMILE, YOU, SMILE Most of the joy of life is in the contact with pleasing personalities. A grouch is worse than a rainy day in December. All <?f which brings us to the man on the job, who is trying to get ahead Thert. isn't a business anywhere, worth working for, that won't pay a premium for a smiling face and a governable temper. Itusiness lo-tlay is totally a matter of co.operation. 'I here isn't room for the sour individual who can't work unless h,. has a private cave, cut ofT from human contact. 'I his type is passing out ?with the horse and bu<ttry, the Saturday ni^hl bath, and the farmhand breakfast. Just doiiiK our little job well, isn't enough. We must do it cheerfully, and with a smile. If we don't we will interfere with others, make it harder for them to do tlu-ir work, all of which is unprofitable. The reason for this is clear: All of us have worked over and under men and women with dispo| silions that pricked us like thorns. When they pasted our way, the sun went under a cloud Our production dripped. If they were subordinates, we fired them as misfits at the first opportunity; if we were the subordinates, we quit at the first chance to tret anotehr job of equal pay. J. II. Foster, president of the 11 y- I ! draulic Pressed Steel Company, ?!??ing a business of .'{(I millions a year, says ha has foutul that whan a man stops smiling, his production falls. The rule is so invariable, he states, that he has installed a system whereby these eases are investigated and a remedy sought. "Type Metal." GIRLS. WHITEN SKIN WITH LEMON JUICE Make a Beauty Lotion for a Few Cents to Remove Tan, Freckles and Sallowness. Your grocer has the lemons and ' any drug store or toilet counter will ' supply you with three ounces of orchard white for a few cents. Squeeze the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle, then put in the orchurd and shake well. This makes a quarter pint of the very best lemon skin whitener and complexion beautifier known. Massage this fragrant, creamy lotion daily into the face, neck, arms and hands and just see how freckles, tan, sallowness, redness and roughness disappear and soft and clear the skin becomes.

RED CROSS HOME SERVICE WORK IN CHESTERFIELD 'j COUNTY | i Last Sunday morning at St. l'uuVi Methodist church a union service was hcid, at which Dr. Alexander lolinson, of the Southern Red Cross headquarters at Atlanta, delivered an excellent address on Home Service work. Those who had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Johnson were fortunate. 11,. pictured the Home Service work of the Red Cross an.! snowed by many apt stories how real results and much beneficial work had been done by the department for soldiers and their families. Nearly two million soldiers are overseas and many of these will remain in France far months yet, some of them probably | for a year to come. These men are j anxious about the loved ones at home j and their families are anxious about i Hie soldiers. The Red Cross Home Si rvico is the only means of com- ^ inunication between these men and | their families when mail scrvic,. is k interrupted. It is the Red Cross g Home Service that looks after the ^ welfare of the families of soldiers in iistress and furnishes aid when needed.
