Dorothy Dix Says
There Are No Two Women Alike
In Looks and Personality

If he wanted big, fine, strapping,
handsome, athletic, outdoor girl he
could sing California, Here Come"
But If he wanted wife who would
be a husband spoiler his best bet
would be Southern girl, who might
be short on boiling cabbage, but
would be long on making angels
food.
However, all Of that is beside the
point. which is your friends conten-
ton that wives come in bolts that
are carried in stock everywhere and
that you can find the same pattern
at every crossroad store. In this I
think he Is mistaken. don't think
there were ever any two women in
the world so exactly alike in looks
and character and personality that
there was no difference or choice
between them.
I'll admit that when you see a lot
Of little flappers with the same
stringbean figures, the same fantas-
tic hair-dos, the same daubs of paint
In the same places on their coun-
tenances, the same picked jaybird
scantiness of attire and who all say
"but definitely" or whatever the
cliche Of the moment may be, you
feel that if man wanted to marry
one of them he had just as well
stick his hand in a bag and drag out
the first thing he grabbed as to
worry himself trying to make Sc
lection.
But under their silly little hats
one girl has brain and the other
is nitwit One girl has a heart
that is warm and loving and the
other just a cash register. One
girl is sweet and amiable and the
other is a little devil. And so on.
Beyond that is something psychic
that we can't explain that makes
one particular woman appeal to
man and set his pulses fluttering,
while another leaves him cold.
So 1t is nonsense for a man to
contend that any good woman who
belongs to mans church and po-
litical party and who cooks the way
his mother used to do would make
him as satisfactory wife as another
who had the same qualifications.

one in line slides the button along
the cord to the next player. The
button then travels in front and
behind alternate players down the
line and back in just the opposite
way The time for the complete
trip is recorded for each team.
For the second lap the team cap
tains each pick one assistant. Then
they are told to make Is words out
of the letters in Mountain with
the help of the assistant only,
and again their time is recorded
Such words as tin, tan, main and
moan will be thought up quickly.
In the third stage of the climb a
matchbox cover is placed on the
nose of each team captain. He
must transfer it to the nose of the
next player without touching it with
his hands. The matchbox cover
travels clear down the line and
back, and again the time is recorded.
The fourth stage is another "rest
period" with the captain choosing
two members of his team to identity
llSt Vi ~ ldIlllldT IT0Oe names.
Thus If the list contained the brand
name of canned soup the word
soup must be written after the
brand name. AS soon as the two
players complete their hst-without
help from the other team members
it is turned in and their time is
chalked up.
The last lap brings the teams to
the summit in blaze of glory. Pre-
! pare two loops of 1-inch elastic tape
long enough to 60 around two peo-
ple-tightly! Hand loop to each
captain. He must then slip the loop
over his own and the next players
head Together they pull it down
over their bodies and off their feet
The second player turns and goes
through the same procedure with
the third player, and so down the
line
A prize may be awarded to the
winning team, or the losers can pay
forfeits Then serve refresh .nents-
the more wintry the better-and
turn on the radio for little before
we-part dancing.

DEAR MISS DIX-Please settle
an argument for us. My friend con-
tends that in selecting a life mate
any girl having the same interests,
ideals and so forth as he has would
make satisfactory wife. For in
stance, If he lived in California, he
could find there a girl who would
make him suitable wife, but If
he were transferred to New York
he could find there another girl who
would make him just as suitable a
wife. I contend that for each man
there is only one girl who will make
an ideal mate. and that if he truly
loves the one in California the girl
in New York will hold no charms
for him. Miss Dix, wouldn't you
hate to marry any man who thought
some other woman could fill the bill
as well as you? PINKY.
Answer-Well, of course, there is
no geographical limit on wives as
there is on citrus fruit and wheat.
They grow EN- as fine in one part
Of the country as they do in another.
1t wouldn't make any difference
whether man picked out his better
half in Nebraska or Texas or Maine
or Arizona. If she was what he
liked, he would like her.
OF course, the girls in different
sections have different lines of at
fractions, and it would depend upon
a mans taste which one appealed
to him most. II, for instance, he
wanted wife who would be thrifty
and economical, a good manager and
hold him up to his better self. but
who would stand no nonsense from
him, a New England girl would
about fill the bill.
If he wanted a wife who would
look like a million dollars and who
would be playmate who would al
ways be ready to put on her hat and
step out with him, and who wouldn't
mind living like a sardine in a can
and cooking with can opener and
a corkscrew, New York girl would
be his soulmate. If he wanted a
wife who would be a good business
partner and help him rustic up a
fortune, but who would expect him
to divvy up on the deal and play
fair, the Midwest girl would be a
preferred risk.

everybody-and we guarantee to
keep you amused!"
Decorate the party room by getting
out the artificial snow and icicles
which are usually tucked away from
one Christmas to another. If you
have an electric fan, set it up in a
corner with a bowl of ice cubes in
front of it, and big sign reading
"Wintry Wind" hanging above. IT
it's a hot night, the fan will be
useful as we'll as ornamental.
Set the early birds to playing the
first of your winter games-practic-
ing basket ball shots with a soft
rubber ball and any convenient con-
tainer. Or you can make bottomless
baskets by rolling pieces of card
board into the proper shape and
fastening them with pins. Then,
when all the guests are present,
divide them into two teams for the
relay race on skis.
A Hilarious
Ski Race.
Better move out onto the lawn for
this, unless you don't mind having
the floor or furniture scratched. The
two teams line up at one end of a
course from IS to so feet long. The
leader of each team is given a pair
of skis, which you have made in
advance from barrel slaves. with
loops of stiff rope for toe straps. If
you can't find a barrel, get an orange
crate and Use the boards from the
sides Or any other pieces of thin
wood a few inches wide and about
two feet long will do.
The first member of each team
waits for the starting signal, then
slips on the skis and runs, slides or
stumbles to the other end of the
course and back. He must then get
the skis off so that the next member
of his team can duplicate his per-
formance Have the loops of rope
securely fastened to the skis, be-
cause they'll be under considerable
strain when the competition gets
hot. The team which gets its last
member back to the starting line
first wins the race.
Now you move back inside for the
feature of the evening-the noun
tain climb. You can keep the same
teams, or choose new ones, with an
equal number of girls and men on
each side. Each team must have
a captain. To win the mountain
climb the team must reach four
way-sta uons on the slope, and then
finally scale the summit ahead Of
its rivals.
Starting the
Ascent.
First lap: The teams line up on
either side of the room. Then a
long string is passed in front of
the first member. behind the second,
in front of the third, and so on. At
the end of the line the string goes
around the last member and weaves
back up the line, finally passing
behind the first member. Then a
button is slipped on the string and
the two ends are tied.
Now the team members are really
tied together like mountain climb

Complexion
Problems
Of Girls
Sun Rays Excellent
AS Healing Power
For Blemishes
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If your blemished skin is due to
an acne condition, or to a devital-
lied system, you should take the
sun during these months. Sun has
curative powers, as you have been
told countless times, and many a
harmful microbe scuttles away from
your skin surface when its healing
rays touch your skin. But do not
make the mistake and take too
much sun for then you will be faced
with another complexion problem
to boot. One hour-when the sun
is not at its hottest-should be suf-
f1cient.
At all times you must keep your
skin meticulously cleaned. Wash
the secretions and collected dust of
your skin at least three times during
a hot day. Use a good bland soap
and rinse 1t off we'll with warm
water followed by very cold dash
ings Of water.
Nourishing creams, and sun oils
are not for you. Keep all greasy
substances away from your skin and
watch your diet closely. Don't nib
BILE on sweets or drink chocolate in
sodas and matted milks, and keep
away from all rich sauces and foods.
Learn to love sun ripened fruits and
vegetables, starches only in limited
quantities and drink scads OF milk
If you like it. If you are not too
thin take the juice of lemon in
hot water without sugar before your
breakfast each day.
Girls with blemished skin have a
problem which boys with blemished
skin do not have. There are times
when girls want to cover the blem-
ishes and have their skin look flaw
less. Boys just pat on a medicated
lotion after shave and let it 60 at
that!
To my desk has come a cosmetic
which might prove boon to beauty
If you are the victim of blemished
skin. I only caution you not to use
1t every day-permit the sun and
air to get at your skin and heal it,
and permit the pores to secrete
freely. This formula is to be used
as a powder base for special party
dates. 1t helps to conceal the skin
eruptions and 1t does keep your
makeup looking pretty fresh for a
long time.
OF course if your skin is so blem-
ished that the eruptions have
broken I urge you not to put any
lotion or cream on your face. Bet
ter for you to saturate a piece Of
absorbent cotton in a half glass Of
water to which has been added q
tablespoonful Of a good antiseptic.
Battle your skin with this mixture
and stay away from parties until
your face is better. You might, If
you haven't done so, seek the ad-
vice of a reliable physician or der
matologist and do not let them put
you of by saying the condition will
clear as you mature. In many cases
adclescent acne does not clear with
out special treatment.
Another warning to the blemished
skin .girl-do not either bleach or
dye your hair. Rather keep your
scalp antiseptically clean at all
times with a well recommended
scalp tonic and shampoo. Oil and
other secretions Of the scalp can run
down to your face and infect any
pore which is already overtaxed.

Planning for
The Picnic.
Perhaps the first step to follow
In planning picnic is to get a
really suitable hamper or basket
into which the food will be packed.
Half the trouble of picnic lies in
packing the breakables so they will
not rattle and chip, and the food
which is put in among the plates
and cups always emerges much the
worse for the experience. The ham
per, therefore, should be fitted with
plates, knives, forks and spoons,
cups and glasses, all fastened in so
tightly that they cannot slip and
so compactly that there is room for
the luncheon as we'll.
In preparing the picnic lunch lay
out first what would be needed to
spread the informal table. Be sure
you have sufficient plates, tumblers,
cups, knives, forks, spoons. paper
napkins, tablecloth and salt and
pepper shakers.
If you prefer hot beverage, such
as coffee, this may be prepared in
advance and placed in a thermos
ho tie or jug. Those desiring cold
drinks may choose lemonade, iced
tea or bottled beer. A good-sized
piece CT ice in a covered tin pail or
bucket will enable you to serve these
beverages cold.
Every housewife knows best what
the members of her family enjoy
eating on picnic, but to be prac-
tical about the amount she pre-
pares the following calculations may
prove helpful
One quart of salad will serve
six persons.
One 4-pound chicken will yield
about three cups diced meat.

WANTS MAPLE SYRUP AND
SUGAR INDUSTRY BOOSTED
Federal Representative Coming
Early in March for Conferences

Plans are being made to stimulate
the maple syrup and sugar industry
in the Youghiogheny watershed, ac-
cording to John H. Carter, county
agent, who received a letter from M.
T. Augustine, of the Department Of
Agriculture Flood Control Survey.
Mr.. Augustine will be in Garrett
county during the early part of March
to talk over the problem with Mr..
Carter and also to hold conferences
with the producers themselves.
Data will be collected concerning
the general condition of the sugar
trees and the cost of production from
which plans may be developed to in
iect new life into the industry.
Mr.. Augustine reported the out
look was hopeful for the establish
ment of the area as leader in maple
syrup production, especially in view
of reports that a substantial part of
New England's sugar orchards had
been damaged by last falls destructive
hurricane.
This area through Garrett county,
and in Somerset county, Pa, long
famous for its maple syrup and sugar,
now sold in many parts of the United
States, provides an annual income
amply justifying continuation of the
industry, Mr.. Augustine said. in
this area the sale Of sugar and syrup
yielded approximately 100000, or an
average of $3.50 per farm producer.
Since 1880, however, the output is
said to be decreasing due to decadency
of the present stand and to the cut
ting of the maple trees for lumber
Grazing has, in most cases, prevented
natural regeneration and made trans
planting impracticable. Thus most OF
the sugar trees are old ones and in
many cases are "stag-headed," which
indicates that they will soon die.
