BEAUTY HINTS NO WOMAN IS UGLY No woman is ugly; they simply do not know how to" be pretty. This being true, why do so many women give up in despair and go along unattractive when they might be collecting their Share of the world's admiration. A healthy body for instance, gives one a certain kind of beauty.

Good grooming adds another fine point in attractiveness, and then there is kindliness, good humor, gracious ness. These three make great returns in the way of beauty. Suppose you, who think you lack beauty, try these free roads to charm. X.

I have many opportunities for service in connection with things that are Immediately ahead of us. I feel, however, that I should take some time to think through these various opportuni wide contacts with people and" VL.make 8Ure t1 tm movements throuehout the entire flrt things first.

I there movements throughout the entire United States. During the last eight years, II have carried the responsibility in connection with the National Youth Administra tion. The years that lie ahead are more important to the country and the Negnoes than the eventful years through which we have just fore, take some needed rest and make up my mind as to the thing that offers the greatest opportunity for service at this stage of my life. "Within the next few months I shall hope to decide what my emphasis shall be during this next interesting and challenging period passed.

We were the first to go out to establish a base where weCould visit and be within shert runs to camps where our Negro soldiers were stationed. The Cluomoaue crew consists or three persons, at the time of our arrivel here none of us had heard of Clubmobile. During my first week in EOfland, Oamille Jones. case worker from Hudson Train ing School for Girls, and had decided that this would be an exciting kind of service as we had both been behind desks in our work, at home and this would be a new kind of experience and a way to reacn most or the soldiers over here, pencies MCDuiry ox Washington. D.

C. made up the third member of the crew. Re cently she was replaced by Ruth Attaway (Mrs. Allen Morrison) of unicago and new iork. MUST BE HOUSEKEEPER A good crew member must be a housekeeper at heart because the first part of the day Is spent in preparation.

Doughnuts nave to be made and the bus has to be cleaned; 300 cups have to be clean for serving; candy has to be pro vided from the stores, and chewing gum. cigarettes, matches (so very scarce over here); coffee, are all part of the early morning work. We have our lunch and start out on a trip. If there are a lacge number of men at a camp we plan only one trip; if the number is small, we visit other camps as well. When we reach camp we make coffee, and while that is in preparation, we have numerous visits from the soldiers: "What about some music?" "What about a newspaper from home?" "Have you any matches "Will you sew my insignia on my sleeve?" or "Will you sew a button on my coat?" They also ask for magazines and newspapers.

COUNT BASIE POPULAR, When we arrive at the places where men are working, our public aaaress system is started and we announce our arrival with Count Basie's "Blue and Count Basie's music comes in for a lot of requests and we have stocked our library of records with as many as can be secured; we also have a great demand for "Ink Spots" recordings. There is usually a line or rrom su to zuo or 300 men who come up for service. We have met newcomers from the States, men who are less than 12 hours off the boat. It's difficult to describe how surprised they are to find us right in camp. These are usually most hunerv and most curious for newspapers, magazines and games.

They are full of ques tions about tne country, where we live, whom we have seen and if there are any other women over here. On these occasions we are "ganged," the line is long and usually four deep. The appreciation shown by these men for our visits is difficult to describe. They like to linger in the bus. sometimes they say nothing at all but are reluctant to leave.

They like the cut flowers we have on the Clubmobile. We have requests for loans of records, for loans of books; and we seldom lose any, as they are promptly brought back. LUXURY BUS Our readers may wonder how; au mis is possioie, out 11 they can imagine a. Greyhound bus with all seats removed and this divided into two large compartments. I think they will get the idea.

The first half of the bus is a modern kitchen with cabinets for cuds, linens. stiver, sink and other necessary utensils, including a doughnut machine such as you sea in many five and ten cent stores at home, or if you live in New York. vou have seen these in the Mayflower shops on Broadway. The other half of the bus is like a compartment In a Pullman car. Streamlined with berths which are used as a comfortable lounge in most situations, there is a wardrobe and shelfs of books and a cabinet of records.

A table can be put up for writing or serving. We usually have current newspapers for distribution, including The Pittsburgh Courier, a great favorite and always the first paper asked for. The popularity of the "doughnut wagon1 as it is called by hundreds of soldiers, cannot be measured in words but in the smiles on the faces of men who have been introduced to our service. The dough nuts, eaten over here, if placed eua 10 ena, wouia a cnam that would, extend around' the Allied Nations, or make a thousand "Va" for Victory.
