Many have an idea it takes long
time for the alligator to grow up.
1t may be true 'that an alligator
takes longer to reach its maturity
than a snake or lizard, but six years
are about the time these reptiles
need. Unfortunately, some of the
very largest and Oldest alligators
have been killed. and there are not
many over IL feet long left. How
ever, with legal protection lately
afforded them, it will not be so very
long before we again see some
giants.
At birth a young alligator will
weigh about is ounces and meas
ure 8 inches in length. At / year
old, all things going we'll, the infant
should be about 18 inches long and
9A ounces in weight. Young alliga-
tors are very dark brown or black
in color, with bright yellow cross
bands. These fade as the years roll
by.

throughout Florida and westward to
the Rio Grande in Texas, alligators
are to be seen. Their one desire is
to be as quickly out of your sight
and reach as possible. The younger
generation stays in the shallow
waters. The eggs are laid in a
sand pocket on the beach or shore,
close by the home waters, the sun
supplying the heat needed for incu-
baton. These eggs have always
been considered delicacies by the
Indians and natives. which also re-

Alligators are unusual among rep
tiles in being able to express them
selves by a loud noise or below.

themselves heard for miles. Added
to this, they possess a most pene-

Civil Service Official
Says Red Tope Will Be
Cut to Speed Selection

The preparedness program will
require at least 100000 additional
civilian employees in the Govern
ment's defense agencies, Charles r.
Anderson, chairman of the Board
of Appeals and Review of the Civil
Service Commission, declared yes
terday in an address before the
goth National Convention of the
Disabled American Veterans Of the
World War at Greer Bay, Wis. To
speed the recruiting of workers the
commission will cut everything re-
sernbling "red tape" he said. 1t will
also take every possible precaution
that the new employees are COM
petent and loyal to American insti-
tutions," he added.
Although there is no call for gen.
eral clerical workers or additional
unskilled laborers, there is an urgent
need for certain other types of
workers, particularly in the ship
building trades, Mr.. Anderson de-
clared. The commission also has
many calls for aeronautical engi-
neers and craftsmen, radio opera
tors and inspectors of ordnance
material.
The Civil Service Commission,
he said, rs prepared to undertake
an intensive program of positive re-
cruitment whenever and wherever
necessary in order to provide the
best qualified personnel available
consistent with the time limits set
by the defense agencies.
I'm this recruiting program it is
not the commissions policy to in
terfere with the work of CONNER
cial and industrial establishments
engaged in national defense activi-
ties. Obviously the withdrawal of
skilled workmen from a private
manufacturing establishment would
not be in the interests of the ma
tional defense program
Mr.. Anderson also outlined the
policy of the commission in enforc-
ing the provisions of the Hatch
Act, designed to prevent pernicious
political activity, and reviewed the
regulations governing veterans pref
erence in appointments in the ex-
ecutive civil service.

Play Clothes Run
Camut of Rainbow
RiOtous Color Is Feature of

By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Riotous color will transform the
Fairgrounds of America this sum-
mer into one giant palette of vivids
and pastels, for play clothes are
running the gamut of the rainbow.
This major portion of every femi-
nine wardrobe gets the iron test for
the days of spectator sports for
women are over. Once a violet bath
ing suit would be carefully shielded
from the suns fading rays and salt
waters deteriorating effect by re-
naming on the beach under the
protection of a parasol. Now that
suit takes to the surf and is dried
under the sun with careless indif-
ference.
Tennis shorts and dresses are for
saking white to splash color on the
courts. Stains resulting from spills
on the clay or grass will have to
fight it out in the washtub-with
color and fabric the winner.
Even jodphurs, riding breeches,
coats, vests and stocks are getting
away from the conventional gray,
brown, and white, and appearing in
sage green, brilliant orange, French
blue and daffodil yellow. Cleaners
bills are taboo on a limited budget
so the battle of the washboard
RACES.
The textile manufacturers thus
challenged by the feminine sports
contingent are rushing to the labora-
tories for help Color fastness, wash
ability and wearability are as i'm
portant as design and price to wise
Miss America.
One large manufacturer of cotton
and rayon fabrics, after a survey of
thousands of women, has put ''fac-
tag" on all its material, giving the
woman the information which she
demands. She now knows the ex-
act facts about the material and I'M
derstands just what she can expect
of the garment she has purchased.

NJ HAT merry chase tickle fash
w len is leading us this season in
regard to the hats we wear. Starts
us off at the dawn of spring with
flower or fabric-drape toques so tiny
(some of them) as to be almost
amusing, yet withal so flattering and
so chic, even the new broad brims
cannot entirely wrest their we'll
earned honors from them. And then
what does capricious fashion do
suddenly announces brims so ire
mendously wide they fairly amaze
one. Which, summed up, means
every fashionable wardrobe of hats
this summer must necessarily in
clude both types to be worn as time
and occasion demand. q
AS to the new broad-of-brim vogue
so full of promise for the coming
months, no matter how big your hat
with a brim, it will be none too
large, according to fashions way of
thinking. None too dramatic either,
since the new brims are daring in
deed, and to make them appear the
more so they are worn with a dash
and go that adds infinitely to
their style.
The wide-brimmed, strictly tai
lored felts which proved themselves
so definitely good-looking with the
new spring suits continue to have
firm hold on the affections of we'll
dressed women. Outstanding among
these striking felts are the simple,
huge, sailor types, the stunning,
large Bretons and the very new rip
pied or pleated, soft, faring, felt
brim that, to be perfectly chic,
must be worn far back on the head.
OF course the latter are necessarily
dedicated to youth, for who but the
ingenue smooth of brow dare ven
ture so striking fashion?
The fact that the off-the-face broad
brims are essentially young So
phisticate item should not by any
means imply that the vogue for
enormous brims is confined to the

teen-age and debutante set. On the
contrary, the off-face wide brim is
merely one phase of the matter, for
whether you are in the 'life begins
at forty class or not, the message
of the wide brim is all-inclusive, for
certain it is and true, there's fiat
terry a-plenty in the new wide brims,
whether you are sweet sixteen or
"plus."
The new wide-brimmed summer
straws are everything you want
them to be. The stunning hat worn
by the smart young woman, stand
ing above to the right in the illus
tration, speaks in accents of red,
as also does her belt, which is a
brilliant red patent leather, for be it
known that fashion is making a SEN
sational splurge of red this summer,
red hats being pet hobby just now.
Broad of brim and utterly fasci-
mating is the hat which the young
sophisticate standing below to the
left in the picture is carrying. 1t is
made of raffia in colors matching
those of her gay plaid frock and
still gayer raffia sandals. 9
The vogue for white millinery
came early and is going to stay
late. Women of fashion have been
wearing white hats in accordance
with style dictate since early spring
and as the summer advances the
popularity Of white headgear is rush
ing along at a crescendo scale. The
white straw breton pictured above
to the left flaunts cluster of straw
berries nested in its crown-another
instance of the flair for red with
white
Black holds its own in spite of the
tremendous play being made on col
or this season. See the off-face Bret
on below to the right in the group. A
crisp white bow and head-band en-
ivens the black to perfection-just
the type hat to wear with prints
and summer town clothes.

BEAUTY and ROMANCE
BY MARIE DOWNING

stay out of the sun, remember the old
ounce of precaution. A little sun
shine never did anyone any harm, but
an overdose can wreak havoc with the

the sun is the best possible medicine
in combating colds and general run

modernization is an important factor
Before exposing your skin to the
sun for any period of time, be sure to
apply oil to the exposed parts. APP
keeps the skin from drying out and
piled before you go out in the sun, it
wrinkling; applied after sunbath, it
helps replace the natural oils of the
skin. If you are in the sun for long
stretches, re-apply the oil from time
to time. Be sure to build up your re-
sistance to the suns rays gradually
few minutes the first day, minute
or two more the second, etc. An over
dose of sunshine, before you have
accustomed your skin to it, can have
dire results.
Be sure to drink plenty of water
before embarking on sun bath. The
sun makes you perspire and removes
the liquid from your system, and you
must replace it constantly.
Don't let my warnings brighten you
unduly. If you'll follow these simple,
sensible rules, you can have your full
quota of fun and come through the
summer with glowing health.

'Companionate' Is
Aim in Accessories

More and more fashion encour-
ages the idea of companionate ac-
cessories. This season, more than
ever, much ado is being made over
establishing a family relation be-
tween this and that of ones cos
tune. Such as for instance a cos
tune ring to match the lapel gadget
or clip. Also the idea of wearing
flower costume jewelry to which is
matched the color of your nail
polish.
You can get blouses with hats of
the same material and designers
have even gone so far as to make
gloves of the identical fabric.
Costumes that ensemble from
head to foot include dress, hat, para
sol and gloves of the same material.
This is being carried out beautifully
in the very fashionable cottons,
especially lowered prints. .

Laugh and Be Beautiful

Strange as it seems, the woman who
laughs much is never without some
semblance of beauty even though her
features be plain. There is something
so pleasing upon the features that are
lifted with a laugh. The corners of
the mouth turn up and the eyes
sparkle alluringly. Sit before your
mirror and watch the effect of a
laugh upon your countenance, then
frown and note the difference. After
this experiment you will not be slow
to lift your whole life with the magic
of laughter.

There is a new type of dress that

WHO KILLS A DREAM
They killed my dog, and l forgave,
Even above my comrades grave.
they stole my purse and l forgot
whether l owned gold once or not.
They plucked the rose from beside my
door;
That, also, l forgave them for;
But now there is something in my
breast
That will not let me sleep nor rest.
Even gray skies had turned blue,
And all things wore lovely hue;
NO cold in snow, no wet in rain,
NO hurt in labor, no anguish in pain.
For always, in the hardest day,
mat vision of heaven showed the way.
And then l met, one certain morn,
a curling lip, look of scorn,
And then | learned how sharp a spear
Ihey weld, who slaughter with a
sheer.
| can forgive the oaf, the thief, And
ne, whose bullets brought me grief;
But small offenses these may seem
Beside the man who kills dream.

Danger Line for Rouge

Below the line that runs from the
tip of the nose to the tip of the ear is
the danger line for rouge if you are
past twenty-five. The higher the
rouge the younger you appear, So if
you would deceive the men and con-
found your women friends as to the
number of summers you have seen, be
careful that you never allow your
cheeks to be colored below this danger
line. There is no woman who does
not yearn to appear both young and
beautiful-this is one way to bring
this wish about.
