"a good sheer wool dress may
go anywhere" said well
known authority when she was
lecturing recently. Explaining
the good" in her statement,
she said it meant we'll cut, of
nice material, though not nee
essarily expensive. and with
simple though effective trim
ming or details. That's good
thing for us all to think over,
for a good sheer wool dress will
fill a thousand needs, and next
to your coat, may well prove
the most useful article in your
winter wardrobe.
Sheers Are Legion
The variety of sheer woods that
you may choose from is almost
unlimited. There are the crepes
which may be checked, mono
tones, corder, or nubby. There
are the mixtures with rabbits
hair or mohair, and ostrich cloth
that is sheer and much softer

as others that prevent it en-
tirely. and still others that do
neither, but which neutralize
body odors. Science has been
responsible for these aids to
personal daintiness, and no
woman should be without such
assistance.
Many women use g. deodorant
once a week, year in and year
out, whether they need it or
not, just as the meticulous per-
son uses an antiseptic mouth
wash to neutralize any possible
unpleasantness Of breath. Form
the habit! It is a good one, and
should be as necessary to you as
brushing your teeth twice day.
The daily tub is not sufficient
in many cases to keep the body
dainty and odorless.
Certain liquids will give pro-
lection from both odor and
perspiration for day and
others for several days.
There are creams and pow
ders that neutralize odors but
do not prevent perspiration. For
some women this is sufficient.
Valuable Aids
For the skin that is sensitive
suggest that preparations that
prevent perspiration be used at
night before retiring, immedi-
ately after the bath, or after
you have bathed.
Be sure to read the directions
for applying them and also be
advised not to use them imme-
diately after having used de-
pilatory. Few skins can with
stand the action of two such
powerful preparations under an
interval of "a hours. Never use
either on a skin that shows an
eruption or one that is irritated.
An ounce of powdered alum
to a pint of distilled water
makes a splendid lotion for use
on the hands and feet affected
with excessive perspiration.
Perfumes should never be
used to disguise body odors,
and should be resorted to only
on an Immediately clean body
to be effective. If you are
troubled with body odors, per-
fume will only exaggerate them.
The Washington times., 1933-09-14

A certain amount of per-
spiration is normal and the
water usually evaporates rapid.
~ and helps greatly to .regu-
late the temperature of the
body. Excessive perspiration is
not normal and the cause
should be investigated. While
it is said that SO per cent of
perspiration is water, it is the
other l per cent of fatty acids
and other ingredients that
causes the odor, if there is
odor.
Excitement
Undue excitement or nerv.
business is the cause in many
people of profuse perspiration.
whereas in others it may be
caused by improper elimination
of waste matter in the body,
overfatigue and overeating.
There are preparations for
diminishing perspiration as we'll

"He's in the Army Now"
Dear Miss Fairfax:

OcdI MISS fdlr1aX.
About three weeks ago, while
on my vacation, I met boy I
like very much. He has just
joined the Army, and every
thing seems perfect, except that
he has asked me to wait for
him. You see in about month
he sails for Hawaii, where he
must stay for two years. He is a
sensible boy and very ambi-
tious; thinks Army discipline
will be good for him.
He has given me his address,
also his aunt'S, with whom he
has always lived. I honestly be-
lieve in this boy, he has done so
much for himself. Please answer
my letter in your column,
within a week. He wants to
see me before he leaves, and I
want to give him an answer.
Shall I write to him and have
him write to me? ANXIOUS.
By all means, write to your
soldier, and tell him you'll be
glad to get his replies. He
should be able to write you some
very interesting letters. AS he
has given you his home ad-
dress, undoubtedly he want you
to know he's seriously inter-
ested.
She's Considered an Iceberg
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am past II years of age, but
quite out of things. go out
with a few boys between the
ages Of 20 and IS years, but
they consider me an iceberg, for,
you see, I don't smoke, drink or
pet. But, as I haven't cared
much for these boys, I don.
mind what they think.

Dr.. Bisch! s Daily
Diet Hint

Although proprietary foods
for infants are often useful in
feeding problems, every mother
should acquaint herself thor
oughly with their exact ingredi-
ents. as these very greatly in
the different foods. Advice
from a physician is highly de.
Sirable in this connection. 1t
should be remembered, also,
that the addition of fresh milk
is probably always necessary,
because prepared foods do not
contain much fat.

Dark Eve Circles,

QuestiOn-Will you please
tell me what to do to cure
dark circles around the eyes.
1 am considered d-lOOking
and am in good health. I've
tried creams and lotions to
make them disappear but with
out effect. When boys invite
me to go to dances, I always
refuse because of the ugly
circles. 1t was only last March
that they appeared. I should be
ever SO grateful to you If you
will tell me what to do about
them.-MiSs A. G.
Answer-Sorry, that is some
thing that the doctors and eye
specialists will have to help you
with. Dark circles are caused
either by internal disturbances
or by eye-strain. Cosmetics
can do no more than cover
them. Many girls ask me this
same question.
FreckleS
Que stiOn: My neck is so
much darker than my face.
Can you suggest something for
this? 1 also have freckles.
Thank you so much for your
anSwerS.-MiSs E. NJ.
Answers: Necks are usually a
bit darker than faces. How
ever, if the difference is pro-
nounced, you may need a
bleaching cream for it. There
are a number of good ones on
the market. Do you give your
neck the same kind of treat
ment you give your face? If
you don't, that can cause it.
I should wait until fall now to
bleach the freckles. Then you
might try using a sunproof To-
ton all the time to keep them
from reappearing. This is not
so necessary in the winter as
in the summer, of course.
Lights in Hair
Question: What is a good
shampoo for medium brown
hair-SOmething that will bring
out the lights in it?
MISS r. N.
Answer: A vinegar rinse will
bring out lights in the hair with
out changing the color. Lemon
or camomile blossoms will make
it slightly lighter, but any of
these are good.

Contra act
Bridge
By E. v. SHEPARD
UNWISE BUT LUCKY

THE GREAT element of luck
in bridge crops out all the
time. Sometimes to an unusual
extent, as was the case with
the following deal. North and
South were 10 on rubber game.
East and West had not scored.
When the score reaches that
desperate condition the best
course usually is to try to
lose a cheap rubber, as the
odds are too greatly in favor
of the vulnerable side win
ming the rubber to pay OPP
ponents to venture going down
more than a trick. If the
vulnerable side can be defeated
a trick or two, it is the height
of folly to overbid.

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
Salt and Celery
Dear Mrs, Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you kindly tell me the
proper way to use salt when
eating celery. Should the salt
be put on a plate and celery
dipped in it, or should the celery
be sprinkled with salt?
2. When girl friend comes
to spend the evening at your
home, and is already seated
when you enter the room, should
she rise when you go forward
to shake hands, or remain
seated? eve are both the same
age) D.
It is considered better form to
put the salt on the side Of the
plate, preferably the bread and
butter plate, and dip the celery
in it. Indeed, this way of using
salt or pepper is always better,
not only for celery but for any,
thing else.
2. It would be natural for
her to rise when her hostess
entered the room.
The Return Address
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I would like to know if, when
addressing an envelope, you put
your name and address in the
upper left corner or on the back.
A FRIEND.
The post office authorities
suggest that we write the re-
turn address in the upper left
corner of the front of the enve-
lope. So evidently this is con-
sidered the most convenient for
the mail man, and he is the one
to be considered. However, this
often means crowding, and rum
ming the return address into the
address itself. so if your hand
writing is large, I think the
back of the envelope is the bet
ter.
Helps The Lady in First
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Does not the young gentle
man, upon going out with a
young lady. assist her into the
machine first, instead of get
ting in first and opening the
door from the inside?
A Reader.
Yes, the gentleman assists the
lady into the car first, and
then enters.

POST IS HELD
 AT IRKUTSK BY
 BAD WEATHER

NOVOSIBIRSK, Siberia, July 19.- In the neighborhood of IT hours ahead of the time he made for similar distance in 1881, Wiley Post streaked for Trkutsk, Siberia, yesterday just two hours and 35 minutes after finishing an 1,81s mile flight from Moscow.
 Post was lost twice on his way here from Moscow and only his sense of direction, his automatic pilot having failed, enabled him to conquer fog and rain to land safely here.
 At one time he had to fly at an altitude of 1000 feet, so bad was the fog Once he landed in a field. He did not know where. Ag- ain he landed near Tartarsk, 250 miles west of Novosibirsk, and once more, by sheer luck, he admitted, he found his direction.
 The doughy American round- the-world flyer left here flying for Irkutsk, also in Siberia.
 Moscow reported that Wiley Post passed over Krasnoyarsk, en route to Irkutsk At Krayasnoyarsk he had completed almost one half of this 890-mile leg of his flight.
 Several hours later Post zoomed down from the west and paused at I k u tsk. He was more than 16 hours ahead of the record and was feeling fine although he was some what tired. Irkutsk marks approxi- mately the halfway mark on his solo round-the world flight.
 The American flier brought his monoplane, the Winnie Mae, down on the air field after the flight of six hours and 40 minutes over the 375 mile route from Novosibirsk.
 Post was 75 hours and 25 min utes out of New York and 16 hours and 34 minutes ahead of the re- cord set by himself and Harold Gatty in 1881.
 Post had intended to continue E astward at dawn but unfav- orable weather conditions forced him to delay departure and cost him several precious hours in his race against Time.

NEW YORK, July 19. Heavy profit taking sales failed to halt the main upward trend of the coun- try's financial markets Wednesday.
 Stocks rallied and closed mostly higher after a short-lived ups e t that resulted when traders cashed in on huge paper profits in the so- called wet group. Aided by another run of cheerful business news, the bond market pushed forward with speculative industrials, rails, and utilities marking up new highs for the last two years.
 The gold group of stocks were sent soaring once more with ru- morS that a free market for that commodity was to be created in the United States.
 Some of the latest available quo tationS were Alaska Juneau 304, Am. Tel. and Tel. 132, Am. Rad. 1872, Chi. Mil. 151s, Col. Gas and Flee. 26M, Gen. Motors. 337s, Ken. 257s, N. Y. Cent. 551s, United Air. 447s, United Corp. 133s, U. s. Steel 6634, West. 673s, and United Gas 55s

STUDENT FARES
 BE AVAILABLE
 BOAT AND TRAIN

Despite the threatened upturn in prices it appears that the cost of education is being made more attractive each year for, according to announcement made by the Alaska College, arrangements have been made with Alaska transporta- tion agencies which will be of great effect in the students pocketbooks
 For several years the Alaska Rail- road has given a round-trip for single fare to any student attend ing the Alaska College Upon pur- chasing ticket at any station on the line of the Railroad the student took a receipt for the fare. Upon arrival at College this receipt was deposited with the Registrar. When the owner was ready to return the receipt properly endorsed by the President or Registrar entitled the holder to present it at the ticket office at the Fairbanks depot and receive return ticket without fur ther charge.
 This year the Alaska Steamship Company is going to do the same at any port of call between Ket- chikan and Seward A ticket will be. sold for interchangeable from the point of call to Fairbanks. A receipt for the fare will be issued and the holder thereof will be en- titled to return transportation free of charge upon having same pro perly endorsed and presenting it at the Fairbanks depot.
 This makes a considerable sav- ing and enables students in south eastern Alaska to make the trip to Fairbanks and return at less cost than paying fare both ways to Seattle and return.

 Twice when we were flying thru thick fog," Balbo said, T was dis couraged. Once was near Reykja- vik, Iceland, and the other time was when we were nearing Labra- dor"
 It was the perfection of the huge six and one-half ton flying boats, the excellent training of his men and the complete organiza tion of the flight along scientific lines, General Balbo said, that enabled the flight group to reach Chicago, 6,1O0 miles from the starting point at Orbetello, Italy, with only one mishap.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 19. - Claiming the honor of being the first precinct in the State to re- port it's complete vote in the refer endum on the Eighteenth Amend ment, Upper Hill Township, in Prai- rie County, Wednesday cast A of its votes for repeal and one against.
 All the eligible voters in the township had voted by 10:30 am.
 Later return from five scattered small precincts in Arkansas gave 334 votes for repeal and S7 against.
 Early returns from Alabama also favor a repeal of the dry law.
 The elections in the first two of the traditionally dry states to con- sider the 21St amendment along with Tennessee's election tomor- row are regarded as the most cri- tical test the repealists have to face. Repeal forces are working hard to reach their goal before Christmas, and the Alabama and Arkansas el- ections may mark the halfway post. On the outcome of this el- ection the foes of National Prohi- bition will know whether they have garnered half of the states nec- essary for repeal. Up to yesterday, 16 states had voted to ratify the repeal amendment. Thirty-six ra- tifying states are necessary before the repeal movement will have succeeded
