More Recipes
For Jellies
And Jams
Keeping Up With
Seasonal Fruits
Quite a Task
BY BETSY CASWELL,
Woman's Editor.

Here are some more of those
preserving recipes that we promised
you last week. 1t looks as though
We'll have to devote several Mon
days to them, to keep up with the
parade of fruits that are now COM
ing into Washington markets, and
ripening on nearby farms. AS it is,
We won't be able to cover half as
many as we should like, so we shall
just have to repeat our invitation
of last week to call us for any
special recipes that you might wish.
Well be only too glad to help you
at any time, and hope that you
will feel that we are here to be
Of service to you.
And, just another word-we have,
here at the office, large number
of really old-fashioned cook books,
many of them around 100 years old,
and they contain, of course, recipes
that you may recognize as ones
handed down from generation to
generation in your family. Should
you wish any of these old timers
we will try to locate them for you
in our books.

Dear Advisers:
would you please tip the fellows
off to the fact that we girls don't
like to be called by such nicknames
as Coon Shorty and Loon? I
know they don't mean to, but they
certainly hurt our feelings when
they call us things like that.
ALSO, when girl wears a new
outfit she likes boy to tell her she
looks nice-provided she does! And
even If he's bashful and afraid to
tell her, he doesn't need to be smart
and make wisecracks about it, when
he really thinks she looks charming.

Uncomplimentary nicknames and
wisecracks about girls clothes are
grade school stuff which any fell

they'll take your tip, Joan D.

that will keep your skin nice ana
white or permit it to tan smoothly
and evenly.
One of the best oils is quickly
absorbed into the skin and assists
in getting an even, gradual tan
ming without looking like a first
cousin to lobster. It's scented, too,
with lovely gardenia aroma so that
you won't have to cope with the
usual, slightly disagreeable odor OF

Another of the beauty firms has
solved the problem Of ito tan or not
to tan" by presenting two distinct
answers to the question. One is a
creamy liquid for the very fair, SEN
sitive- skinned person who wants to
stay very white all summer. This, OF
course, is more of preventative
than the other, an oil. The latter
encourages a tan, but prevents
painful burning. Both have been
tried and approved, so just make
up your mind whether you want a
glowing, golden skin tone or a COM
plexion that is as white and fair as
it has been for the past months.
We never think of days spent at
the beach that we don't visualize
the unattractive appearance OF
many girls who are either too lazy
or too uninformed to do something
about the fuzz on their legs. It's
most unpleasant to see, really, and
it's actually amazing when YOU
think of the excellent and easy to
use depilatories available for this
very purpose. One of our pets is a
fine cream which is spread on the
legs to about the thickness of a
uuarter and allowed to remain from
six to IL minutes. 1t is then re-
moved with a damp cloth and cold
or tepid water. OF course, you will
first try a tiny bit on the inside OF
the wrist to see if, by any chance,
you happen to be allergic to such
things. You'll ind this cream safe,
pleasant to use and quite odorless
except for very faint and very
pleasant aroma. Removing super
fluous hair is most important, for
nothing looks worse on bare legs or
under sheer hose.
Other summertime hints should
include a word about a good de-
odorant, either the liquid or the
cream variety. Many of them need
be used only once every two or three
days and they're really blessing to
your clothes. Be sure to read and
| follow the directions carefully.
On your Fourth of July holiday,
don't forget to take well-equipped
beauty kit for convenience and
charm. Your favorite maker of cos
metics may furnish one of these

brands that have been on the mar

Now that summer is here, get

Taft Urges
Tax Boost
Ohio Republican Sen
ator Would Increase
Normal Levy on Per-
sonal Incomes.

Washington, Dec. 13.-(AP)-Sen-
ator Taft, Republican, Ohio, suggest
ed today that the first step in heavier
taxes for defense should be to in
crease the normal levy on personal
incomes from per cent to 10 per
cent.
Taft declared that personal in
comes were "the most promising
source of revenue" and added that a
federal sales tax should not be m
posed until increased taxes on in
diviudals had been tried.
He said that Eve could only be
fooling ourselves" if ali effort were
made to increase taxes on corpora
tons. Taxes on business are passed
on to the people. But they tend to
discourage business activity he SAID.
Pointing out that the people OF
Great Britain had managed to pay
increasingly heavy income tax rates.
Taft told reporters that a man
making $4,000 in this country with
average exemptions now paid only
S12O tax. He added that if the nor
NAL tax rate was increased from TO
10 per cent such a man would pay
$780, ..
THE people might as well recognize
that they are going TO have TO pay at
least 10 per cent of their incomes
Taft asserted.
