DRY ROUGE
DOESN'T LAST

For instance. unless you know
that IL will be easy to replace it
fairly often. don't use powder
rouge. 1t may be flattering when
you put 1t on, but dry rouge
does wear off. Use instead a
cream variety - even though it
takes a little longer to apply it.
Don't arrange a fairly elaborate
hair-do that will be perfectly
lovely for an hour or so but
which will look just plain untidy
by noontime.
It's a mistake 10 decide some
fine morning that you look dandy
without a girdle. Consider for a
moment how wrinkled and sag
ging the back of your dress will
look at the end of the day if you
don't wear some kind of founda-
ton garment.
You may feel fine in very high
heels in the morning, but if you
must walk or stand for hours and
hours during the day, don't wear
them. Youll be happier and get
less tired in shoes with moderate
heels.
Don't wear one of the new
white or pastel wool dresses to
the office. Don't, that is. unless
you are an executive and work

 TO TOWN AGAIN
Several Conspiracy Trial Defendants Want State
 to Pay for Printing

Judge Ernest A. Inslis of the su- perior Court, who presided at the Waterbury conspiracy trial in which Mayor Frank Hayes and 2s other defendants were found guilty will come to Waterbury on next Monday to hear motions filed by several of the defendants for court order that typewritten copies of the official transcript of the evidence in the case be used on the appeals being taken by tho defendants to the Supreme Court of Errors.
 The defendants also ask that the evidence be printed at the expense of the state in the even that type- written copies cannot be used.
 ' Under customary court procedure, when an appeal is taken to the Supreme Court, the defendants are compelled to have the transcript of the evidence printed at their own expense. In the conspiracy case, however, the evidence is the most voluminous ever to be recorded in the states history and the expense of printing would run into thousands of dollars,
 Lawyers for the defendants will be present in court next Monday to present their claims.

STALIN ASKS FOR
 MANY SPECIALISTS

Copenhagen, Denmark, Jan D.. (UP)--A Berlin dispatch to the newspaper Polltiken asserted today that Josef Stalln had asked Adolf Hitler to send 100000 specialists, engineers and technicianS to reor- :, snize the entire Russian economy, especially transport
 Politiken attributed the alleged request to the unprecedented burden of the Finnish war, and represented Stalin as saying that Russia could hardly carry on its Finnish cam paign effectively, much less deliver raw materials to Germany, in pres- ent circumstances.
 The Politiken dispatch, for which no authority was cited and no cori- firmation was available, reported that under the strain put on 1t by the Finnish war, Russian transport had suffered great organizational difficulties,
