Clarifying Yourself
By ALICIA. HART

You ought to get at least eight
and half hours sleep every night
during your winter holiday. 1t
doesn't matter whether you rest
from midnight until eight-thirty or
from four a. m. until almost one
o'clock the next day. Just be sure
that you rest eight or even nine
hours out Of every twenty-four.
Take the business of getting a
coat Of tan gradually, too. Twen-
ty minutes on the beach is long
enough the first day, half an hour
the second and third, full hour a
day the rest Of the week. After
that. your skin will be used to
sunshine and you probably can
stay out as long as you like. How
ever. don't over-expoSe your hair.
Brush 1t carefully each and every
night and have hot oil instead OF
plain soap and water shampoos.
If you are the playful type who
likes to build sand forts and dig
for shells, put a layer Of soap
under your fingefnails before you
start for the beach. This keeps
sand and dirt from lodging UNI
derneath them. When you get back
to your hotel, simply brush out the
soap.

(NEA Service STAR Correspondent
Paris.-The mid-season collec-
lions, forecasts Of next springs
smartest styles, make point Of
avoiding many of the freakish
modes that threatened to stampede
the fashion world last August.
The most significant feature is
the abandoning Of width, fulness,
and flares. Daytime skirts are
straight. short and very slim. The
general aim seems to have been
to add ever more height to the
silhouette.
Shoulders are neat, sometimes
outlined by amusing little wavy
epaulettes. Waists are normal, or
slightly lifted In front. Jackets are
slim, fitted. but not too much so,
and basques are still featured but
they too have lost q great deal Of
their exuberance.
Embroidery Is Starred
Generally. the latest creations
show marked enthusiasm for color
and unusual combinations, for en-
broidery-pailletes. bead and Beau
vab point. Fine and unusual
weaves are stressed, all features
making for chic formality and
continuation Of the ultra feminine
note.
Clothes destined to be worn at
the end Of the day or. in the eve
ming are more ornate than they
ever were in the most prosperous
times. But 1t is no longer a ques-
ton OF yards and yards at the
hem in evening dresses in order to
express formaliity. There are few
very wide. flowing skirts to be seen.
1t Is Just the other way around,
and the long. slinky, sheath-type
OF gown seems to be making q de-
cided bid for favor. When fulness
is introduced, whether this Is placed
at the front or back, the skirt Is
held In underneath the fulness to
preserve the straight line.

PARIS SPRINGS SURPRISE WITH SLIM SILHOUETTE
FULL SKIRTED MODES OF FALL
WILL BE MISSING AT EASTER

Necklines remain high for day
time. The little round collar, but
toning close to the throat, seems to
be the most widely used, but there
are q few V-Shaped decolletes.
Touches Of white pique and organ
die are frequent, and many dress
es open on to dainty little vestees
Of finely tucked organdie or real
lace. Lace jabots have also made
their appearance, in white and
ecru.
Cocktail dresses have adopted the
short" skirt, /. e., either Just above
or ankle-length. Evening dresses
touch the floor, sometimes pro-
longed In q short train, and they
often are slit few inches In front
or the skirt Is a version of the
wrap-around, fastening at the back
and disclosing quite q little Of the
leg, always partly yelled by a float
ing panel or drapery.
While the lame "taileur" Is still
featured for informal evening, the
latest in cocktail wear is the lace
frock. Marcel Rochas uses q very
fine lace for this purpose. The
skirt Is slim, although entirely
pleated, the bodice semi-fitted, with
high but a rather generous oval
decollete in front, underlined by
double ruche Of the lace. This is
worn over a narrow black satin
slip.
Femininity Is Stressed
The ultra-feminine note is
stressed in all formal clothes, both
for end-of- the-day wear and eve
ming. Chiffon seems to be In for
successful spring season. 1t Is fea-
tured In all the outstanding collec-
lions and most Of Marcel Rochas'
evening gowns are Of chiffon. Heavy
silk crepes, Chine, rnarocain ana
crepe satin appear in semi-formal
afternoon frocks, nearly always
black. Satin blouses accompany
many suits, both In monotones and
vivid prints. Piquet favors a pale
blue satin for his blouses, Bruyere
likes them In white and Lucien Le-
long sponsors Indian and paisley
prints. Plaids are seen everywhere.

The effect Of rich lace Is given
this collar by crocheting In the
lovely knot stitch. 1t Is not diflcult
and looks its best when worked up
with the silky cotton threads now
so popular. To make an old favor
lite dress take on new life, the col.
lar is an indeed pretty accessory.

During the World War, trench
mouth was common among the
troops In France. Nearly 20 years
have passed since the United States
entered the war. Today, the con-
dition Is found frequently among
Americans. 1t no longer Is called
trench mouth, however, but is des-
cribed as Vincent's infection, be-
cause the organism which causes 1t
first was discovered by a French
doctor named Vincent.
In this condition, the membranes
Of the mouth are red, infected. and
swollen, and sometimes are covered
by o yellowish-gray material which
Is adherent. When this material Is
removed, bleeding surface Is re-
vealed. The material will be found
also In the sepaces between the
teeth and, as a result, the gums
bleed easily. There Is a foul pu-
trecent odor associated with this
material.
Since the mouth and gums also
are infected and trrtated in cases
Of sctirvy, diabetes, lead or bismuth
poisoning, or occasionally In syphilis
the doctor must determine definite
1y that the condition Is Vincents
infection, or Vincent's angina, be-
fore undertaking treatment.
The victim Of this infection may
spread 1t to other people by kiss
ing. or by communicating eating
utensils and drinking cups. The
disease sometimes Is contracted In
the offices of careless or poorly
trained dentists.
To avoid II, one must take con-
slant care OF the mouth. teeth and
gums. The FIRST signs are persistent
bleeding OF the gums and unpleas-
ant odor. Whenever these symptoms
appear. consult a competent dentist
nj once, because control OF the In
lection Is much easier In the early
stages than when II has become
chronic.
Incidentally. Vincent's infection,
as well as other infectlons Of the
mouth. affects those with bad teeth
and neglected mouths much more
frequently than Il does those who
keep their months IN . good, hy-
aienic condition.

Your
Children
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Children love little window gar
dens. And really these are within
the reach Of all, no matter how slen-
der the pocketbook.
OF course, II the budget will
provide a few plants bought at
the florists, all that needs to be
done Is to put a table or shelf
close to q south or southeastern
west window. and a little water
day will do the rest.
Plant From Sweet Potato
But often 1t is more fun to sec
what can be made to grow from
almost nothing. For instance, /
have, at my study window, some
top shoots from lilac bush. ]
chose the branches that I thought
might have some flower buds on
them. because most shrubs put
out the little brown buds at sum-
iner's end, for next year. ] split
the ends up for two or three inches
and inserted match sticks to keep
the wood open to the water. Stuck
them In q glass vase; and about
February hope to have some real
blooms, paler In color than the
sun-warmed blossoms Of May, but
fragrant and beautiful. The leaves
will be very small.
Take q sweet potato. Or carr
rot. Plant like any other bulb in
flower pot and keep wet. The
foliage will come up before long
and give you treat. These can
be started in water alone, In
glass jar.
Then. II a friend will give you
o geranium shoot or two. of big
plant, put the end In wet sand.
Keep 1t there for few weeks UNI
til 1t has had q chance to sprout
and then carefully transplant 1t
In good earth. And by the way,
try to get good earth for any In
door plantinfi. Perhaps the addi-
ton Of a very little grow quick"
substance will hurry things a bit.
1t Is astonishing how many
things are ready to put out
shoots for us II given a chance In
the winter. After all, many green
HOUSES. in fact all Of them, are
constantly growing fragile flowers
out Of season. This takes science
and nothing is left to chance, but
the veriest novice can learn from
experience.
However. u Ia best to begin on
things that you are sure Of. Per-
haps you will get no blossoms, but
isn't q sprig Of ferny green, grown
by our own hands, enough reward
for the little work 1t takes? And
In midwinter one learns to watch
jealousy for every new leaf. A
greater thrill than watching for
the first crocus or snow drop In
spring.
Protect Plants From Frost
On very cold nights, plants
should be taken away from
frosty pane. Some will Island It,
but others won't. And the green
gardener won't know the differ
ence.

Pegues Presents 40 and 8 Program for Promoting
 Sale, Alaska Products

Report on the program of the Grande Voiture of Alaska, 40 and 9 for promoting Alaskan products during the year was presented to the Afford John Bradford Post Of the American Legion at it's meeting last night in the Dugout by John E. Pegues, who has been named chairman of the program for Ju- neau. Stanley J. Nichols of Valdez IS chairman for the Territory and in a communication which Pegues presented the post last night, lne Territorial chairman said:
 We are all aware that the canned salmon industry is the most valu- able asset that we have. It is faced --'ith the problem this coming win ger of selling pack that was over e,250,000 cases. the greatest pack that has ever been produced in AL aska jn the history of the indus try. Every man, woman and child in Alaska is affected directly or in- directly by the success or failure of this great enterprise. The success ful marketing of this large pack will assure healthy condition in the industry and will encourage ex- tensiye operations for the coming year Therefore, it behooves the people of Alaska to do all in their power to aid in the disposition of this large stock
 Chairman Nichols pointed out in his letter that it was the aim of the 40 and to cooperate in the cam. paign now being conducted by the canned salmon industry to further the Alaska product, pointing out that all Legion posts, auxiliaries, womens clubs and chambers of commerce were being asked to par ticipate in the campaign.
 Pegues called attention to the advertisement in yesterdays En- pire in which the industry is offer ing prizes for the best slogan for promoting canned salmon and urged. the Legionnaires to participate.
 Walter Bacon was installed as chaplain of the Post at the meet ing last night and three visitors were guests of the Comrades Nickaloff and Lin Jorgenson of Cordova and George Penny, new Superintendent of Social Welfare for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Penny was an active member cf the Harrisburg, Pa, post until his transfer to Alaska.
