Hasn't she cute earsv'
"she has the loveliest earsg'
These and similar remarks are
heard, nowadays, as frequently as
compliments TO . woman's eyes
or mouth. Ears have come into
their own as ! feature of feminine
beauty.
When her health Is good, her
circulation AL It should be. y NO.
mans ears are usually pink.tipped.
But when there Is sluggish circu.
lation Or poor health, the ears
have dull, coiorless look, as
though they did not belong to he
res. Of the body.
Generally speaking, the same
wholesome care that gives velvety
smoothness and a delicate glow Ct
color to your complexion viii AVE
the same effect on your ears.
But YOUR ears need much more
soap and water than your face,
which may not need soap at all IS

When you take your daily bath,
be sure to give q scrupulous scrub
TO both your ears and the skin

hafld.glass that you are not leav.
ing any doubtful shadows. Avoid
dripping soapsuds or water into
later on. Dry them very thor
oughly.
Some women like to pat their
favorite liquid astringent mas
oage alcohol, for instance-on the
uiate circulation. Next, little
powder. preferably one shade
lighter than what you use on your
face. may be busted evenly over
them.
IA bit OF rouge on the lobe Of
each ear will stimulate the pink
tip that a lovely, sheil-Iike ear
should have. Last OF all, place
one drop OF your favorite perfume
essence back OF each ear to COM
spIete its dainty grooming.
Earrings are very becoming to
some woman. Others find that
earrings overshadow their per-
sonality. The other day saw
q photograph Of q woman whose
face and personality were so
dominated by the earrings she
wore that the portrait might well
have been called, Earrings.
Your hand-mirror will help you
to select only earrings that bring
your features and ,color-scheme
becomingly.
While athletes are in training,
their hearing is more acute than
it in ut other times. This shows
that high level OF health Inn
proves hearing. Certainly. 4 wom-
ans ears are loveliest when her
health is at its highest peak.
OF course, when all is said and
done, ears make their greatest
contribution to charm when they
are used to listen well with, giving
the other person a chance to talk.
III you listen alertly for the
pleasant music of every day
sounds. such as laughter Of chill
dren, bird-Eongs. rnurmuring winds,
rustIing leaves and the pleasant
salutations of friends and &C.
uuaintances. the harmony OF this
natural music will pass into your
face and give it real beauty,

AUSTIN. Texas. Dec. 14.-P-
Acreage devoted to cabbage in the
Rio Grande Valley district shiws a
slight increase over last year. &C
cording to Charles Sperle, truck
crop specialist with the federal crop
and livestock statistical bureau here.
The 1929 area is estimated at H.
600 acres, which is slightly in excess
of the 1928 paintings. from which
5,T25 carloads were shipped.
Present indications are that the
heaviest movement should be during
the month of March. Sperle said.
In the Corpus Christi-Robstown
district the 1929 acreage is estimated
at $500, an increase Of about 8 per
cent over last year. A total of 1856
carloads was shipped from this dis
tict last season.
Spinach paintings are estimated nj
$500 acres, an increase Of approxi-
mately Is per cen over last seasin.
About SIS per cent of 10, acreage
planted Is being grown under irri-
gatoin. Sperle estimated.
In most districts the crop is from
two to three weeks later than Hast
season, due 10 the loss by worms of
the early plants.
In the Laredo district about 90
per cent OF the crop should be ready
for harvest during January and Feb
ruary. In the Winter Garden dis

be under way by December Is. get

which at present time is very low
and il is feared that unless it rains
within the near future some 1000
to 5000 acres may be lost, Sperlo
reported.
The acreage in 1928 was estimated
at $4,000 acres, from which about
$500 carloads we're shipped, COM
pared with 4.2T7 cars in 1927.
In the Laredo district up to No

intended Bermuda onion acreage had
been set out, which is much more
than usual. but similar 10 last sea-
son. In the Winter Garden district
early onion paintings are from 10
to 10 per cent heavier than one year
ago. The acreage in the Raymond
vile district will probably be double
that of a year ago. Sperle said. In
Nueces and San Patricio counties the
acreage is reported 10 be about like
last season.
The fall potato crop in the Rio
Grande Valley is estimated at ESQ
acres, or about like last season, with
light movements now starting and
the crop to be set out by January 1.
Planting for the spring crop will
start IN January. with indications
for a reduction of about IS per cent
below last season when the acreage
was estimated at about 1880 acres.
