RUTH MILLET SAYS
Wife Makes Mistake If
Fails To Improve Self
She Is 42 and her husband is 44.
He highly disapproves of her
wearing make-up, so she doesn't
wear any.
He thinks it is foolish for a wom-
an to slavishly follow fashion, so
she buys serviceable clothes and
wears them until they are worn (
out.
The Rub
But here's the rub: During the
last two or three years, he has
"started eyeing other women in
such an obvious manner" that she's
embarrassed to go out with him.
She wonders now if she has made
a mistake to. shun make-up and buy
clothes because they are practi-
cal, rather than because they are
becoming and fashion-wise.
A Mistake
Of course she has made a mis-
take.
Not one woman in ten thousand
is beautiful enough "as is" to com-
pete in a world where other wom-
en help nature along in every pos-
sible way.
Nor can a woman who chooses
her clothes for their durability ex-
pect to look very attractive when
measured by women who ask one
question of the clothes they buy,
"What does it do for me?"
Needs Bulld-Up?
Take a woman who can't depend
on make-up and beauty aids and
smart and becoming clothes to perk
her up, then let her discover that
her husband openly admires the
women who have made the most
of themselves, and you've got a
woman sadly in need of a build-up.
And the kind of build-up she
needs is not to have her husband
tell her how thankful he is that
she is so sensible.
The Lift
What she needs is the lift she
will get from a new permanent,
a bright lipstick, at least half a
dozen jars of sweet - smelling
creams and lotions, and a com-
pleted new outfit from high-heeled
shoes to perky hat.
That'll take papa's eyes off other
women. (All rights reserved, NEA

Early Shopping
Is Recommended
For Yule Turkey
CARBONDALE, 111. _ UP —
Shopping for the Christmas turkey
is like the rest of your holiday buy-
ing. Do it early.
Scott Hinners, poultry specialist
at Southern Illinois University,
said early shopping assured the
hoinemaker of a choice turkey,
and one also sized to the family's
needs.
"Many families find that small
turkeys, turkey halves, turkey
quarters and even sliced turkey
steaks are enough for the holiday
meal," said Hinners.
Some other shopping tips from
the poultry expert:
Allow % to % nound drpssprl
weight, of turkey for each person
to be served. Small chiioren uo not
require that much. A 15pound
turkey will provide about 20 gen-
erous servings.
The SIU poultry expert says
cutting a turkey into halves or
quarters does not affect its flavor
in roasting.
"We find at our house that we
get more of that good dressing
with the turkey because there is
more space in the roaster when
halves are used," Hinners said.
"There is one objection to turkey
quarters, though: your family has
to be unanimous on their choice of
light or dark meat."
Hinner's said there may be some
difference in flavor between large
and small birds. Usually the large
turkeys are the toms and the
smaller ones are the hens.
"Most people prefer a large hen
to the same weight torn." Hinners
said, "but large, fat toms are pala-
table. They normally cost less per
pound and yield a hit'tr"- ner^pnt-
age of edible meat, making them
the most economical uuy.

Texas Highways Carry
Double Freight Load
AUSTIN, Dec. 2—UP—The quan- j
tity of freight carried over Texas I
highways has more than doubled
in the last seven years, Chairman i
E. H. Thornton Jr., of the Texas 1
Highway Commission reported j
Thursday.
He said 24 million ton-miles of i
Texas commodities were transport-
ed every day at present, compared
with 10.5 million ton-miles per dav
in 1947.
In addition to the increase in
ton mileage, Thornton said there
was a trend toward heavier ve-
hicles. He said Texas now ranked
second in the United States in to- I
tal registration of trucks and buses.
Party Cognizance
HOUSTON, Dec. 2—UP—Wright
Morrow, recognized by Texas Dem-
ocrats as their national commit-
teeman but not as such by the
national committee, evidently
hopes the party's new national
chairman will recognize him.
Morrow said Wednesday he
hoped the committee, which ^ will
meet at New Orleans Friday,
would choose a successor to Chair-
man Stephen A. Mitchell who will
not follow the Mitchell brand of
leadership."
He said he didn't plan to attend
the New Orleans meeting.
Mitchell, the Texan said, "knows
that I have been legally elected
committeeman for Texas and that
the recent state convention again
approved my position, but he pre-
fers to arrogantly substitute his
judgment for that of Texas Demo-
crats."

How To Choose Turkey
NEW YORK — UP — Turkey
shopping tip: the high-quality bird
has a moist, pliable, waxy skin
with few pin feathers and no
bruises or other discoiorations.
There is a well-distributed layer of
fat under the skin. The turkey
body should be relatively short
with broad breast and thick, meaty
thighs. Fresh or frozen birds are
of equal quality.
