LUTHERAN EDTOR APPROVES ROLCE Attacking Use of Cosmetics| Is “Thumb Worn,” He Says, Telling of 1686 Habits. By the Associated Press. | RIVER FOREST, I, June 25—If fouge and lip-stick make a woman more attractive, their moderate use is all right, in the opinion of Dr. Walter A. Maier of St. Louis, edifor of the ‘Walther League Messenger, who is here for the thirty-fourth triennial conven- tion of the Evangelical Lutheran Mis- souri Synod. Painting and powdering are thumb- worn sins catalogued in the indiet- ments of modern youth, Dr. Maier said. But any one who thinks that such de- hunciations are a reaction to the pres- ent generation alone or that the prac-| tice is a development of today does not know his history, Dr. Maier brought out. “In America as early as the good | old days of 1686 we read of one Boston belle who was denounced in these terms: “To hide her age, she paints; and to hide her painting, dares hardly laugh’” he said. “So if professional reformers point to a predominance of beauty aids, we can heartily agree, but we cannot agree that this is the prod- uct of the present age. The early Colonial newspapers revealed the Puri- tan prototype of all this in their ad- ‘vertisements.” He declared that the “good old days” are considered good only because thev are too far distant to permit their inconsistencies and absurdities to be revealed. “And as for modesty, no one who knows the inclination to the decollete that characterized the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth . centuries . will complain today,” he said.

Rough Riders of the Air Mail Flying Blind at 100 Miles an Worst Experience of Career by Pilot on New York-to- Richmond Route, Who Describes Long 10 Minutes: BY DONALD B. JOHNSTON, Mail Bilot for Pitcairn Aviation, Inc., on New York-Richmond Run. Written Exclusively for The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. My most exciting experience carrying | the mail, so far, occurred last Winter. | It occupied only 10 minutes, and by | comparison with events which happened | before I entered the mail service, with its modern ships and aids to safety, it seems rather tame, but it furnished me with an interesting slice of adventure. Had Just Started on Run. 1 had just started on the New York-| to-Richmond night run after a month | of practice over the route. I flew into a | snowstorm and kept going at 90 or 100 miles an hour. The snow was so thick I could see virtually nothing. There was nothing to do lut try to climb through it. T kept on in absolute darkness—com- | pelled to fly the ship by instruments alone. These instruments tell you your | direction, height and the angle at which you are flying. In such a snowstorm as that you would not be able to keep your | the game of flying. Once, when I was Hour in Snowstorm Ts Called ship in trim without them, and would probably fall off into a spin. The pilot’s instincts are no good for flying when he can’t see his wings and sight the ground to keep his ship level.“ In fact, instincts often betray you into | thinking you are fying straight when | in reality you may be almost upside | own, Thanks Company for Training. In 10 minutes I was through that storm, but it was the longest 10 min- | utes I had ever spent. I had good cause to thank the company’s insistence upon training for flying in all kinds of weather and darkness. And I was also thankful for the modern instruments | with which the present mail planes are equipped. Before Tegot into the mail service there was plenty of thrill and danger in taking up some passengers in an old- style ship in South Carolina, the pro- | peller, broke, and the vibration drbgzed‘ the, fotor right out of the ship. That | leaves a plane like a glider, excepting that it is all out of balance.” Somehow I managed to get the ship down all right, but I'll never know how I did it. I guess my passengers got a thrill that time, too. Barnstorming Helped Him. I took my flight training as a cadet in the Army Air Corps at Brooks Field. Then I bought some old ships and barn- stormed all over the country. I did most of my flying in the South, but I made one complete tour of the country, touching _each State. I am the youngest pilot on the line in point of night-flying experience, and | I am trying to learn all I can from the | old-timers among the mail flyers. Dick Merrill and Johnny Kytle have helped | me more than anybody. I carry 400 pounds of mail on an average. I have not had any accidents with the mail. | (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- | paper Alliance.) i (Next: Edwin Weatherdon—Flying With a Dead Man.) Bible School Has Outing.

O ROBERTS, JOHNSON &RAND ST.LOULS PETERS STLOUIS FRIEDMAN-SHELBY / What a verdict for shoe value -~ < fifty million pairs avyear T 1S SIGNIFICANT that the best shod nation on earth should wear fifty million pairs of International Shoes a year. One pair out of every seven produced by the entire in- dustry is an International Shoe. This is the equivalent of two pairs for every home in the nation. . This fact measures in definite form the leadership that has come to the International Shoe Company through the things it has done and is doing for shoes. It is a comparatively simple problem to elevate quality when price is no consideration. But to elevate quality and definitely lower price at the same time is an achieve- ment. It is this that International has accomplished. Today the International Shoe Company stands at the head of its industry. It is the world’s greatest producer of shoes. It is the world’s largest tanner of leather. Likewise it is a large producer in many related industries where its factories manu- facture in tremendous quantity the many materials required to make and market its shoes. From the selection of the hides themselves, through their tannage and on beyond the building of its shoes, International follows a policy of manufacture that embraces the production of its own lining fabrics and rubber heels and soles, MORSE & ROGERS NEW YORK It manufactures its own chem- icals, dyes and finishes. It produces .its own shoe boxes, shipping cases and similar supplies. All this is done in order to bring better quality to its products and make possible a lower price.for those who purchase them. Inter- national Shoessellin the merchant’s store at the prices of grades beneath them in quality because Inter- national manufactures shoes under conditions that definitely lower the cost of producing quality footwear. Fifty million pairs a year reflect the verdict of this nation on the value to be found in an International Shoe. It is as great an endorsement as has ever come to a product of industry. The leadership which such en- dorsement has brought to this insti- tution is but the recognition of the public in expressing its approval of an institution capable of giving greater value in footwear. I £ £ INTERNATIONAL SHOES are marketed under the five marks of quality which are shown below. Together théy cam- prise more than 1,000 styles of footwear for men, women, children and infants. They aresold by more than 70,000 lead- ing merchants, distributed throughout every state in the Union. Regardless of the brand you select, the style you prefer or the price you pay, Interna- tional Shoes represent the greatest shoe value you can buy.
