The answer to all these questions Is
a large, loud NO.
You create popularity for yourself
by being yourself-a friendly, thought
ful person whom it's fun to know.
True popularity has little or nothing
to do with riches, beauty, family posi-
ton, or the fact that you look and
act Just like Tyrone Power or Alice
Faye. True popularity doesn't dis
appear in month or a year. It's
based on qualities much more i'm
portant and lasting than good looks
snobbery, affectation and imitation.
Being popular simply means liking
people and showing them that you do.
You think Of other people and their
needs and desires first. Their inter-
ests are your interests. You're always
generous and appreciative.
Also. you make the most of what
you have. Nature may have given
you a nose that cleaves the air like a
PROV OF ship, but that doesn't bother
you bit. You're such a swell person
and so much fun that that nose is
accepted as part of you-and people
like 1t! They'd miss the good old
nose If you woke up some morning
magically changed with classic pro-
file.

Creator of Youthful Clothes Makes First Appearance Local Store
Ny Neiqhbor Soys:

There are several ANIMALS
which, II planted now in boxes Of
earth and transplanted into pots
when well started, will make good
window garden plants for early
winter. Among the plants which
give good results in a sunny
window are these: Annual chry-
santhemums, Nemesia strumosa,
scabiosa or mourning bride, snap
dragon, arctotis, dimorphotheca,
schizanthus or butterfly flower
and the trailing thunbergia alata.
Any good garden soil will do for
these plants, which should be
shifted from very small pots to
larger pots before they start to
bloom. The main difficulty In
growing such plants comes from
attacks Of insect pests, especially
lice. The lice can be kept away
to an extent, however, by keep
ing the soil in the pots covered
with chopped tobacco stems.
In making coffee the water
must be boiling at the top boiling
point before it is poured on the
coffee. Water at the highest
possible temperature is necessary
for the most efficient extraction
OF flavor, aroma and color.
The best remedy for scratched
furniture is mixture of beeswax
and ttrpentine, the former melted
in the turpentine until it is as
thick as sirup. Pour a little onto
a piece Of woolen cloth and rub
it well into the scratched part.
Then polish quickly with dry fam
mel and the marks will disappear.
If two glasses become wedged
together, stand in warm water
and pour cold water into the in
side glass. BY this method they
are quickly separated.

today visited a dairy farm, MIXED
a cow and drank some Of the

Nadine, who really keeps that

milking is no novelty to her. Be,

her parents three years ago, the

it's pretty milkmaid that she never

with 96 gallons of milk a day.

about half its usual supply.
AS a matter of fact, B. B. Der

He says it even helps teeth, giving
