 Paris (UP)-Astrakhan is so scarce there will be no winter coats next year at all, unless drastic preservation steps are taken. Liter ally, dozens of generations of un- born lambs have been used to swathe finicky fashionables in cury fur. N
 Helm says that the three most successful furs this season are Hudson seal, kolinsky and leop- ard. It oughtn't to be hard to put on a good swagger swathed in any of these.
 '.Women of taste," he said, "who instinctively turn from the over-popular, now are wearing furs that have not been devaluated by overproduction and speculation. Such, for instance, as seal, which has been renewed and revived by new techniques of treatment, Oce- lot and panther (always so perfect for sport coats), nutria and kolin- sky. Ocelot belongs to the Ameri- can cat (wild) family which roams around from Texas to Patagonia: nutria is the hide of coypu, and a coypu--whether you like it or not-is a South American rat that can swim like fish!
 You'd be surprised at the num- Der of animals that haven't been touched yet--we'll tell you about them sometime. The Koala Is one. He is an arboreal marsupial of Australia; has ashgray wooly fur, no tail at all. and is as cute as a kitten!

had bid four odd. South held nothing in hearts, and he could see that the dummy had all the clubs. Then what had South to justify his original bid?
 He must have the ace and king of diamonds and the King, queen of spades, in which case the spades were going to break. With diamonds and clubs solid, how could he get an extra trick? Printz now reasoned that there was only one chance: if his part ncr held the jack of spades, he might defeat the contract.
 So he continued with the fourth heart, knowing that the declarcr, dummy, and his partner were all out, A small diamond was dis carded from dummy.
 Now, if Klein made the mistake of discarding or ruffing with a small spade, Printz' fine play would have meant nothing, but Klein realizing what his partner was. trying to accom- plish, trumped the heart lead with the jack of spades, and forced South to- over- trump with the queen of spades.
 Now there is no way of keeping Printz from making his ten of Copyright. 1884. NnA service, lie.

Informal Jacket ensembles - as popular as ever 1t would appear. have easy fitting or straight packets. some skirts, wrap-over, button on the left hip at the back with three large buttons.
 In the jackets ensembles, the monotone color scheme vies with the plain dress and fancy lapric jacket for favor. Stripes or tweeu weayes for the more dressy num- bers. or large checks or plaids TOT inc sports clothes are smart.
 Ardanse as usual shows some beautiful hostess gowns Tn sheer velvet and tulle combined with lace. An outstanding creation IS tulie evening frock, black. with a decidedly full panniered skirt which seems to indicate a new trend in the evening silhouette, and is evocative of the peg-top dress of hobble skirt days. Tunic effects are favored by this creator with great success.

Your Teeth and Your Health By DR ). M. WISAN
 Chairman Council Mouth Hygiene New Jersey State Dental Society
Children's Teeth

answered with most maternal spirit and a voice of soft Southern timbre.
 Care of Teeth Is Vital We must show our people that the care of the teeth is vital me- cessity-not to be neglected. Un- less they are fully. aware of this our efforts will be in vain.
 .Unfor tunately many parents do not know that tooth brushing is important, we consider the brush- of teeth indispensable to mouth health. I do not mean the lazy in- different find but I am referring to thorough and careful brushing of the teeth, brushing between the teeth and massaging the gums so that the blood will flow to and from the teeth-to literally feed the teeth.
 And speaking of feeding the teeth, we recognize that proper diet is necessary to help the child to a healthy existencefi but as far as teeth are concerned the most im- portant time is the prenatal period and during those years that the teeth are being formed"
 Then to bring her next point home, she gestured with sharp movement of her right hand while she declared:
 "But you must get the child to the dentist when he is young, say two or three years old, so that you can actually prevent serious trouble with the teeth.
 T find the dear little ones easy to handle for the most part. Lis ten to this-if you will give the children a hand mirror so that they can watch you work on them, you will be surprised how interest ed they become in their teeth. You know they'll goy home and pla dentist with their playmates. That's the secret-once they think of the dentist with pleasant thoughts the battle is won.
 Frequency of Treatment
 ''IIow often should a child go to the dentist? The only logical an- swer to this question is-as often as they require treatment anr that depends on their teeth. Some chill dren need to go every month, a few can see the dentist at intervals of six months. I would say the average child should go every three months"

All OIdiSh Styles
 BaniShed From Collections
BY ROSETTE HARGROVE NEA Service Stan Correspondent

Paris Judging by the new collections just shown to the public, the couturiers have adopted the slogan, ''C.r with the old, on with Youth"
 womens resentment against anything that sug- gests age forced the designers to abandon many little features some of which seemed insignificant when shown last August, that have been stigmatized as "old" The result-new clothes. smooth, simple, subtly young and extremely wearable.'
 Skirts remain slim. Inverted pleats at the back or front or both allow for walking freedom. After noon dresses are slit on either side when they are not sufficiently full for comfort There seems to be a tendency to emphasize the hipline. This is done with amusing pockets that stand away from the silhouette like miniature paniers
 Beauty of material is stressed to an even greater degree than before and there are some beautiful o shades in the new afternoon gowns that bring relief to feminine gathering when the ubiquitous black coat is removed. Beige in the deep cream and rose shades is smart; so is coral and lacquer red.
 shirring and Tuclxing Featured
 Molyneaux shows some charming, albeit extremely simple afternoon dresses in new heavy crinkled crepe in these new shades. Accent is placed on the neckline and bodice both very supple. Shirring and tucking is the main form of trimming both dress and jackets
 The loose swagger or box jacket is still featured Fitted boiero jackets with an amusing back flare strike note. There is no let length Tor coats and Jackets. They vary from the three-quarters, fnger-tip and hip-length to the little wrap which barely reaches the hip-bone

1.--I answered similar question here not long ago but its impor- tance justifies further treatment. It is national tragedy as the eight grades are now constituted, because over one half of the chil. dren can never get through them. Over half ofSthem fail before they even get to the eighth grade. The obvious remedy is to build an ab- solutely non-failure school where no child can fail; where every child is given tasks at which he can succeed. Just such a no n z failure public school has been running now for ten years and the children average higher in school achievement than children in the ordinary public schools. It is the school of the future.

Winter cough, chronic bronchitis
 dry catarrh, emphysema, bron- chiectasis, or if you are obstinate as well as ignorant call 1t bad cold on the chest"
 This trouble occurs in persons or any age but most characteristically in elderly folk, who have nursed 1t along by years of coddling. Climate is universally blamed for such trouble. by the wiseacres. But climate has nothing whatever to do with it.
 Metabolism, circulation, all the vital functions or processes natur- ally slow down a bit as 8 person passes his or her physical or phy- siological acme, which one does at from the 35th to the 55 the year of age, depending on the quality of the material used in the making and on the way one lives. It is na-
 tural, therefore, that the elderly
 individual should be more sensitive
 to cold and desire more clothing,
 more heating of the household,'
 store or office or conveyance.
 It is hopeless to attempt to har-
 monize the ideas of youth and age
 about these things. Youth is right about it and age is wrong, and 1t is too much to expect age to acknow-
 ledge it or to cease grumbling and
 scolding about the waywardness and insanity of youth.
 At this time of year people past their prime, in years or in feelings, ought to begin warming up bit for the winter. Especially if they are subject to winter cough or any kind of recurring bronchial trou- ble.
 They always need suitable iodin ration, for one thing.
 They should earnestly endeavor to follow a daily program or sched ule of open air activity, and the
 most healthful of all open air ac- tivities for mature adults is walk ing. From a few blocks Sor steps daily, If unacustomed, up to reg
 ular hike of several miles as you get into training. No change of weather should interfere with the
 daily walk. This is of first import ance. Most persons subject to winter cough should store up vitamin A for the winter, and aside from the foods which contain this vitamin they may do this by taking daily

Since many geniuses rise in poor environment and the son T in the question fails to become a, genius even in this exceptional environ ment it indicates that the father surely did not get his genius from his environment, whether good or bad. but must have got it from his lieredity, since we know of no sources of genius other than here- dity and environment, or else the two combined.

she said. I'm Virginia Stratton and don't know any person by the name of Appleton. l don't know anyone in Riverview and didn't sign any will as witness" !" Most strange" said the lawyer. "I can't understand such a simi- larity in names. You've got the same name as the witness to the will and I was advised by detec- tives whom I employed to locate the missing witness that you were registered here in the hotel"
 We'll" said the woman's voice, q don't know anything about the will. It's probably Q mistake in identity. If you'll pardon me. I'm dressing"
 The door slammed.
 Fisher stood for a moment us though undecided what course to pursue, then shrugged his shoul- ders, turned and walked down the corridor toward the two men who were waiting at the elevator.
 The lawyers smile held just the proper amount of apoiogetic sheepishness.
 detectives make a mistake ike that. I keep the best firm Tn the city and they chase down witnesses and addresses for me. This was just one of those unusual and un- fortunate circumstances or slm- ilarity in names"
 He pushed his finger on the bell
 button for the elevator.
 "You're going down?" asked Griff.
 The lawyer nodded.
 "You were mentioning something about insurance" Griff said. "Who is the beneficiary under Cathay's insurance policies?"
 "The wife. Mrs Cathay," the lawyer said. She's also beneficiary under the will, but there are cer- tain provisions in the will that l didn't like. I warned Cathay against them"
 Can you discusse them?" Griff asked. .,
 Tt might be little irregular" Fisher told him, "but I don't mind telling you that the one that ob- iected to most strenuously was the gift to his chauffeur. A matter Of $15,0O0 in cash"
 He was quite attached to his chauffeur?"
 The lawyer shrugged his shoul- ders, You can draw your own conclusions" he said.
 "How long had the chauffeur been with him?"
 Not quite year."
 Griff drowned.
 'Isn't that rather unusual?" he said.
 "It is most unusual" the lawyer said.
 T am wondering" said Griff with his eyes narrowed, "if per- haps the gift in the will was not to insure silence on the part of the chauffeur, concerning some fact about which he might have known, rather than because or friendship?"
 The elevator came to the ninth floor.
 "You," said the lawyer, fare at liberty to draw your own conclu- sions."
 And" Griff said slowly. his eyes slitted thoughtfully, eff l had been tricked into making any such pro visions in a will I would dislike to be careless about leaving medicine around. That is. medicine that l was going to take. Fifteen thou sand dollars in cash might be quite a temptation to the average chauf- feur."
 The lawyer stepped into the ele- vator, bowed formally.

 The elevator door slammed shut and dropped down the shaft.
 Griff stood by the shaft watching the arrow of the indicator.
 "We'll see what floor he stops at,'' he said.
 The hand of the indicator came to the seventh floor and paused.
 Griff raced for the stairs.
 Come on,' he said.
 The men ran down two flights of stairs, came out in the corridor of the seventh floor, looked up and down the corridor. There was no sign of the lawyer. They ran to the place where the corridor made a right angle turn and looked to the left. The lawyer was just enter ing a room,

 Upon swift, noiseless feet he led the way to the room into which the attorney had disappeared and tapped on the door.

 Griff knocked again.
 A young woman opened the door, staring at them with alert, dark eyes.

 She nodded.

The women who really are love- ly and attract the most attention are. with few exceptions, the ones who pay attention to the little de- tails of good grooming. After all, thick, wavy hair counts for noth- ing if it's dull and dusty. And per- fectly applied lipstick simply can- not make up for stained, yellowish teeth.
 Here are a few rules that any girl who wants to be beautiful and popular should follow:
 Brush your teeth twice a day and have them cleaned by den- tist whenever they show dark stains or which the brush has no effect. Take a daily bath. Use a deodorant. Remove superfuous hair frequently.
 Powder puffs should be spotless. Keen the cover on the box of pow- der-the caps on lotion bottles tightly screwed down. Give your- self a manicure at least once a week and clean your nails every time you wash your hands. Have a shampoo at least once every ten days and use hairbrush daily.
 Put on fresh stockings each morning. Make sure that white accessories actually are white. Send clothes to the cleaner or laundry whenever they look the least bit dowdy. Keep everything neatly pressed. Air your party slippers before you put them away. Clean the inside of dark gloves and the inside of your hats.
 The list could be longer. of course. And if you're serious about your beauty, why not add a few rules yourself? Then live up to them!

In the lobby they meet CHARLES FISHER, Cathay's lawyer, who tells them Cathay's Insurance will be doubled if 1t can be proven he died by "acci- dental means"
 CHAPTER XXXIV
 Charles Fisher, the lawyer, shook his head. T am not prepared to go that far" he said. addressing Griff. Tt depends somewhat upon the facts surrounding the administra- tion of the poison. I believe that the authorities hold that a death by accidental means implies that the means by which the death is brought about must be accidental. In other words, an accidental death is not a death by accidental means. It's rather a fine distinction with which the layman is not or dinarily interested, although he should be, because a large number of persons have similar clauses in their insurance policies
 "A most interesting legal point" Grin said. Blocker, who had been standing silent, looked from one to the other.
 Fisher suddenly smiled. Well" " he said, I'm standing here gab- bing like some gossipy woman. I've got work to do and I presume you gentlemen have, too. It was a real test on concerning his will. I am He bowed, smiled, turned abrupt ly to the left. strode purposefully down the corridor, paused and knocked on the door of a room.
 Griff and Blocker stood by the elevator where the lawyer had left them, watching him attentively.
 The door of the room opened a a few inches. A woman's voice said. What is it?"
 The lawyers booming voice came down the corridor, plainly audi ble to the ears of his listeners.
 "You," he said, "were witness to the will of Frank Appleton. MT Appleton is dead. There is con- test on concerning his will. I am an attorney from Riverview who represents the Appleton heirs. It is important that I should talk with you. You'll excuse me for not telephoning before I came up' sBut I don't know any MT Ap- p1eton," the woman's voice said.
 s'I beg your pardon" the lawyer insiGted, 'but this is room 927, is it not?"
 s'It is," she said. "And you're registered here?'' Fisher asked.
 ssCertainly I'm registered here"
