AS has been true at almost every
dog show held this year, cocker
spaniels lead in entries with 68.
Fox terriers are the second largest
entry, numbering 80 of both smooth

third. An unusually large entry for
a rare breed is that Of the boxers,
which number ~. This entry is
probably due to the efforts of the

the major districts and strength
ening OF scrap prices.
while the initial effect of recent
price cuts was to retard the slowly
rising trend of orders, the better
ment of the past week raised total
sales for April above the March
level. Some steel companies have
recently booked more than their
shipments. while others have come
close to their shipping volume.
Export business still accounts for
a substantial part of steel COM
panies' orders, though April sales
were probably below those of March.
Inquiries are plentiful, but foreign
buyers are little slower in closing.
Recent orders included IS 900 tons
for Italy and $1,000 tons for Great
Britain. Shortage of ship space is
handicapping the closing of busi-
ness

ON YOUR MARK, GET sen, LEAP I

This is leap year and so you are
allowed free rein in the pursuit of
romance. Not that any girl at this
day and age waits for leap year or
Sadie Hawkins day to go out and
get her man, but leap year should
give added incentive not to let an
other year go by without having
something to show for it.
Even in leap year, however, the
huntress should not show her intent
too plainly. A little subtlety goes
a long way toward ensnaring the
victim of the chase. You have heard
the old theory that a man likes to
be pursued only if he feels in his
heart that he is the aggresSOr. So
rather than encourage you to 20 out
and stalk your prey too obviously,
1 would suggest that you try the
subtler methods of gaining your
point.
Play Up to Masculine Ego
Men, so the saying goes, like
women to be feminine. So regard
less of your fOndneSs for tailored
NiOlhCSS S"SdtVIS ilitN ShlilNy anu lllt
like, have at least one or two frilly
dresses to wear when you set out to
trap your victim. And even if you
can hold down a good job and take
care of yourself in fine fashion, be
a bit helpless and dependent when
you are with the man of the mo-
ment. He'll soon fall in love with
you If you make him feel big and
strong and protective. And don't
OutSmart him in anything, whether
it be athletics or a game of wits.
Men like women to he intelligent,
but they still want to feel superior
All of which adds up to the fact that
you must play up to the masculine
ego, and the cleverer you are, the
simpler you will appear.
Artifiee Need Not Be Artificial
And don't overlook the age-Old
lure of cosmetics. Remember that
any man will look twice at a girl
with fiawleSs skin and cleaning

black hair. And If nature didn't
endOw you with all the charms you
need, don't hesitate to use a bit Of
artifice. Be careful, however, not
to appear artificial. Your makeup
should match your skin tone so well
that he will be unable to tell where
nature stopped and science took
over. Select your makeup with
care. Be sure that the powder is
properly adapted to your skin type
and tone. And the same holds true
for your rouge and lipstick. Don't
take just any shade you happen to
see on a counter Shop around be-
fore you make a purchase which
may have a lasting influence on your
entire life. And if your hair is drab
and lifeless, touch it up with a good
cOlOring. 1t never hurts to improve
on nature as long as the improve
ment looks like natures own handi-
work.
And don't forget to be neat and
clean and dainty. Keep your clothes
always neat and well-pressed. Don't
try to make something do" just
one more time,.,i it Is in need of
washing or cleaning. And above
all, be fresh yourself. Use a good
deOdOrant as often as necessary.
Never risk your daintlness when
such a simple precautiOn will guard
it.
All in all, just let him think he's
wonderful but convince him by the
way you look and act, by the things
You say and the things you leave
unsaid, that you are wonderful too.
