Spain Is Modified as
Tenseness Grows In
Insurgent Advance

Perpignan, France, Jan. 24.-(AP)-
France adopted extraordinary police
measures along her tense Spanish
frontiers today, anticipating a flood
of refugees from the Catalan war
front.
Primary emergency precautions
were taken in an area extending 125
miles inland from the Mediterranean,
and some distance north from the Dor
der.
On all main and secondary roads
in that zone, Perfect Didkowski es-
tablished mobile guard barriers which
were in addition to posts on the from
tier proper where the guardsmen re-
gularly watch every mountain pass.
Police of every village, and forest
guards and other local officers in the
zone were notified they formed a part
of the refugee-watching service.
Three infantry regiments in Per-
pignan and other nearby garrisons
were designated for a secondary
guard. This secondary line was or
dered to watch for refugees who
might get through the frontier bar
rier. Under the perfect's plans, the
whole southern section of the east
ern Pyreees department mas been
turned into a zone through which re-
fugees must not pass except under

WOMAN,S REALM
.BEAUTX GIOrifing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer


 No matter how tired the white haired woman is of hearing people say, 1T just love white hair," when she knows very well that they hope and pray their own never will turn white-or even gray - she still ought to do all she can to dramatize her white locks, make them an as- set to her appearance.
 White hair streakec with yellow just isn't as lovely as pure white or the popular bluish-white shades. And white hair that isn't gleaming with health, that isn't soft and ab- solutely non-greasy looking, isn't pretty, either.
 To give it sheen and to keep the scalp clean and free from dead, dry cuticle or dandruff, white hair ought to be brushed everynight. Use upward and outward strokes, and brush vigorously. If a tonic is nec- essary, find one which won't make the white hair slightly yellowish at the roots.
 A weekly shampoo is recommend ed, with bit of bluing used in the next-to-the-last rinse water. Now and then, between shampoos, put pieces of clean, fluffy cotton in the bristles of the brush and pull small locks of hair through it. In other words, remember that white hair must be kept scrupulously clean and free from dust particles.
 Fortunately, since white hair in itself is softening to the features, extreme hair-styles often are in or der. For instance, the average white-haired woman can wear an upswept hairdo with ease. And she is more than likely to fnid flatter- ing an arrangement of soft little curls all over her head. Or a short bob with a soft swirl at the back and brushed-backward waves at the front.f
 Regardless of how she wears her hair, however, the white-haired wo- man must remember that neatness counts most. No stringiness, no stray locks, no untidy wisps-those are the rules.
