Citrous fruits continue to be
one of the best fruit buys this
week. They are coming in
from the South we'll ripened
and delicious. They are low
in price and during the cpl
demic of flu and colds, the
therapeutic qualities of these
fruits must be recognized.
The grapefruit. orange and
lemon excel in vitamin C and also
have qualities of vitamins B and
G.. The vitamin is the important
element that is apt to be lacking
in many dietaries and regular
amount is needed daily.
DietitianS advocate using the
fruits raw if the full potency OF
the vitamin is to be gained. Cook
ing seems to destroy a portion OF
the Vitamin C.
Serving grapefruit with pow
dered sugar, a spoon of mint jelly
or with a half-dOzen ripe, Sugared
Strawberries are ways of varying
the serving of this member of the
cltrouS group. Fresh grapefruit
juice is also delicious.
In selecting fruit, choose that
which is heaviest. The fruit
should be firm to touch and not
Springy.
Oranges and lemons have been
used for several years as flavor
ing. The grated rind and juice
from the fruit have contributed to
the success of many pies, cakes,
salads and desserts. In the past,
grapefruit has been avoided be-
cause of its bitter taste. The grape
fruit on the market now is juicy,
tender, and has a delicious flavor.
These recipes introduce grape
fruit as a flavor. Frozen desserts,
salads, and cake have been
chosen for your recipe files.

If canonization were left up to
her own sex, she would get it with
out formalitieS for Mary Norton is
introducing a bill in Congress to
repeal the tax on cosmetics and
toilet preparations.
This is not as frivolous as it
sounds. Such a bill would have
far-reaching economic effects. 1t
would be idle to deny that women
in business, to hold their jobs,
must look their best and keep old
age at bay.
A shiny nose may be able to
scent work from afar. But a
well-powdered nose is a more heart
ening sight to the tired business
man. Pale lilac lips and Stringy
hair are often hallmarks of women
who eat up mountains of work,
but when the office shuffles it's
picture cards, they're the first
to go.
MEN ARE FUSSY
Men who are putting on a little
age are as fusSy over their per-
sonal appearance as are the
women. And unbelievable as it
sounds, they actually use more
hair dye than the ladies! Doubt
less, they'll be very glad to chip
in on the Norton Halo.
Men find gray hair a greater
handicap in business than women.
One can never be sure, these days,
whether the bewitchingly arranged
snow-white hair above a woman's
youthful face is the result of
platinum or nature. No such un-
certainty prevails as to the men.
Whether it's to help along the
meeting of boy and girl, to save
railroad fare to Reno and keep
the home fires burning, or to pull
down the weekly pay envelope,
Representative Norton does not
say. She confines her wise re-
marks to the statement that cos
metics and toilet preparations are
not luxuries.
UNRESTRICTED USE
"Their use is not restricted to
one class" says Mrs. Norton.
"They are not only used or de-
sired by the rich, but by the
middle-cla and poor alike. The
existence of a tax on such arti-
cles, therefore, works hardshipS
on the class least able to bear
the burden"
Believe it or not, since the most
amazing love affair in the world S

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"When should gentlemen re-
move their hats? Is it necessary

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"When should gentlemen re-
move their hats? Is it necessary
to remove them in elevators?
"I."
A man removes his hat when
he enters a room in which there
are women. He lifts his hat when
woman bows to him. When he
is walking with woman he raises
his hat to anyone to whom his
companion bows.
If he is with a man who bows
to a woman, he lifts his hat, even
if he has never seen the person
before. He lifts his hat when a
woman speaks to him to ask for
directions; and if he picks up
something that a woman has
dropped, he lifts his hat and says,
Did you drop this?" or IT believe
you lost this" He lifts his hat
when he offers a woman a seat
in a car or bus.
A man removes his hat when
Jne naClOnal nag is passing IN pa
rade; not only removes his hat,
but remains bareheaded and stand
ing at attention until the flag has
passed. He shows the same re-
spect for the national anthem, re-
placing his hat when the last note
has been played. And he shows
the same respect to the flag or
the national anthem of any coun-
try in which he is visiting. Some
men Especially those who have
been brought up in European
countries, where it is the custom)
stop and remove their hats when
a funeral passes.
The rule about elevators is this:
Men remove their hats in private
elevators; that is, elevators in a
house, a club, an apartment, a ho-
tel. when woman is in the ele-
vator. Usually, too, they remove
their hats in elevators in depart.
ment stores. But they usually do
not remove their hats in public
elevators, elevators in office build
ings and so forth.

needs no collars and cuffs stitched
on. AS you can we'll imagine, the
usual uniform calls for many hours
Of patient sewing, for collars and
cuffs must always be put on neatly
and secured. These new ones slip
through Sits, the ends making a
bow effect, and they stay put as
neatly as if stitched. Under a
fold Of material. both in front and
for a side plaCket are concealed
zippers, so that no buttons or snaps
are needed. The maid just slips it
on over her head, slides the front
and side fasteners, slips a fresh
collar through the straps, does the
same for cuffs, and is ready for
work. There's no more ironing
around buttons to be done. These
uniforms come in a pretty rayon
crepe, and in lovely new colors, a
midnight blue that can take the
place Of black, a soft green, gray
and black. Complete with collars
and cuffs, they are $2.95.

Beauty
Bright Polish
For Nails
By DONNA GRACE

About a year ago all the beauty
fashion notes advocated the light
or colorless nail polish, as the new
and approved nail grooming.
We were offered all the delicate
tints in the natural, rose, pale
pink, sea shell, coral and the blue
red combination in the pale tints,
too.
Some of them were lovely and
we liked them as a change, for a
while, but after a few months the
bright and deep shades began to
appear again, and now it seems we
have already laid aside the mod
est, delicate tints and have taken
up the new vivid and deep tones
for every occasion. Some of the
dark tones are the burgundy
wine, garnet, topaz, dubonnet and
all the smart vivid reds.
In our talks with some of the
leading manicurists, we are told
that all the debutantes and many
of the mature women say they
feel better groomed when they are
aware Of the conspicuous nail
tips.
There is something about these
flashing brilliant finger tips that
seems to give one an assurance
and style, and it is certainly a def
mite proof of fastidious care Of the
nails.
The new polishes and polish re-
movers are usually quite harmless
to the nails, but we must use
plenty Of oil at the base and sides
of the nail whenever any polish
is used.
Nails are of the same structure
as the hair, and both are porous,
so that means the nail pores are
closed while covered with the var
nish-like polish, but the sides and
base will absorb enough lubrica-
ton to keep them healthy and in
good condition, provided they are
massaged and oiled regularly.
"Dear Donna Grace: 1 am a
young girl of 16, and my hair is
very heavy, so l can't get the
comb through it. The combs
break when 1 try to comb down
to the scalp. What is wrong?
LEILA"
Dear Leila: You must use a
very coarse comb with long, strong
teeth, but separate the hair first
by combing the strands a little
at a time; then part it off in
rather small sections. and when
it is free from Snarls use a fine
comb or brush to give it smooth
finish.
1t may be advisable for you to
90 to your hairdreSser and let him
Shape your hair by thinning it
correctly.

Children In Court
BY JUDGE MALCOLM HATFIELD

1t was learned m juvenile court
this week that the child who is per-
mitted to torture and mistreat family
pets frequently develops into a
hardened adult.
With the widespread sale Of
rifles and Shot guns 70 irresponsible
hunters, there is little wonder that
innocent by-standers, livestock,
song birds, and family pets arc shot
during the hunting season.
So long as this nation adheres to
the erroneous belief that all red
blooded American boys must be given
toy pistols, air-guns, and rifles to
play with, we can expect murder
to be committed IN the United States
every forty five minutes throughout
the year. Furthermore, i does not
take a misguided youth who is skill
ed in operating an automatic revolver
or rifle long to learn how " mani
pulate machine gun.
