good-natured whether she feels like it or not, calmness in an emergency and ability to figure out time tables Ca neat trick.
 In addition, when she makes application for job as airline hostess, a girl must be registered nurse, between the ages of 21 and 26. She cannot weigh more than 120 pounds or be taller than 5 feet s inches.
 First thing the student airline hostess is asked to do when she enters the training class for host esses at American Airlines is to get an excellent permanent wave.
 Then, during the six weeks of training, she is expected to wash and set her own hair and to mani cure her own nails. Whether she continues to do her own hair and nails after graduation is up to each student. The chances are that she will. Most of the girls do.
 They save both time and money
 this way, and, in addition, never have to run the risk of looking frowsy for even a day simply be- cause there's no beauty shop handy.
 Each American Airlines hostess uses lubricating cream on her skin every night to combat the dryness which continuous flying in high attitudes is likely to bring about. The average hostess buys tiny jars of the more expensive brands of night cream. She al- ways carries a makeup kit which includes cleansing cream as well as makeup.
 Among other rules that her employers insist she follow are: Use a deodorant every day Use a mouthwash before every trip and, if it's long one, several times dur ing the trip. Apply hand cream fre- quently. Remove superfluous hair from the legs once 8 week. Wear only the light shades of nail polish. Wear no eye makeup unless lashes and brows are quite colorless. THEY WATCH
 THEIR WEIGHT
 To keep their weight down to 120. the stewardeSses go in for active sports on their days off and do limbering, stretching and re- ducing exercises for ten minutes in the morning on working days. They eat moderately but most of them prefer exercising to dieting whenever they need to lose pound or two.
 The average airline hostess plans to use part Of the day every other time she is off duty to care for her clothes as well as her person. She goes about washing and ironing blouses, taxing shoes to the repair shop for lifts and shines, securing straps on slips and pressing her attractive uniform suits in busi- ness-like way.
 She takes her grooming routines seriously. She has to. Her job won't permit haphazard methods And neither will her budget. She can't afford to neglect her skin and hair until they demand ex- pensive, professional attention.

What welcome gift a set of these dainty spider-web doilies would be! Or imagine how pretty they'd look on your own table.
 You can quickly weave a set, using crochet cotton and homemade looms, just circles you cut from heavy cardboard.
 Around the edge of the loom for the larger doilies cut 16 evenly spaced notches. Paste an end of the thread to center, then wind thread across loom, around through two adjacent notches and back across loom through two opposite notcheS.
 Continue in this way until thread is wound through every notch. Now you've set up your warp and are ready to weave. Bring cotton to center, thread through a needle and start weaving in a circle. Work to- ward edge, passing the needle under each warp thread and making a loop around it as in diagram.
 In jiffy you finish your deli cate web" and, of course, the small  doilies are no trick. Cut only 8 notches on their little loom.
 Other items you can as easily weave are lovely evening purse of soutache braid, a smart pillow top of stockings. Our 32-page book let gives complete directions for these and many other inexpensive items, among them pretty scarves, place mats, belts, afghans, knitting bags.

I BELIZE IN PREVENTION

Some kind reader sends a clipping which describes the resuscitation of drowned child. A baby 18 months old wandered away from the care of his nurse in the park. A woman nearby heard cries when the nurse missed the child and could not find him. The woman summoned police and the bushes roundabout were searched. Finally park worker saw the baby's head above the surface of the water in a duck pond. A po- liceman removed the child from the water and asked the woman to take him and the child to hospital in her car.
 The woman refused. Instead she insisted the child be given artificial respiration right there and then, and showed the policeman and the park worker how to do it.
 So the child was resuscitated and restored alive to the parents, who, the item adds, expressed their ap- preciation to all those who had as- sisted in the child's rescue and re- vival.
 There is, unfortunately, marked tendency on the part of large class of Americans to assume they know it all and do not need instruction see a great deal of this in the medical profession-doctors who take up new-fangled methods and att tempt to apply them without the formality of instruction by experts and who then condemn the method for their own bungling. Probably there are millions of Americans who do not know how to resuscitate in an emergency--an emergency which may come at any time to any one merely because they are unwilling to learn, because they prefer to as- sume they know.
 When the woman who saved this child's life said she had learned how artificial respiration is given through pr. Brady's health column, probably she referred to the book let on "RESUSCITATION" I am happy to mail any one who asks for it and incloses a stamped envelope bearing his or her address. The booklet is illustrated, so that by reading it carefully any child or adult can learn precicely how to resuscitate a victim of submersion,

If you send for the book let, I hope that you will not rest content with merely reading the de- scription of the method and looking at the pictures, but that you will make sure you know how to do it, by trying it on a volunteer subject, so that your hands will remember even though your mind be too shocked or mortified in the tragic moment. And when I say tragic moment I refer to the vital moment when the victim is first rescued--that is the moment when resuscitation may possibly keep aglow the spark of life which would almost certainly go out if the application of artificial respiration is delayed.

S1I, ,409,642 ON ADVERTISING
Sears, Roebuck and Co. Celebrate
Their 54th Anniversary

The newspaper advertising ex-
penditures of Sears, Roebuck and
Co. hit an all-tirne high during
1889, it was announced today by
H. A. Ulrich, manager of the
Sears store in Dover. News to the
effect that these expenditures
reached the total of $11, ,409,649
and topped the largest previous
figure by S147,S86 was contained
in an advertising survey prepared
by Sears to assist its stores in
planning the company's 54th an
niversary celebration to be held
from September IL to September
%. According to Mr.. Ulrich, the
fact that Sears is one of the larg-
est, if not the largest, users of
newspaper space in the entire
country has meant increased rev.
enue for a number of Delaware
newspapers. Total advertising
bought by Sears from these pap
ers jumped in 1889 to S27, ,138, an
increase of per cent. In terms
of space this expenditure amount
ed to 148,479 lines.
"Other than indicating Sears
continued recognition of the news
paper as its primary retail adver-
tising medium, last years increas-
ed newspaper advertising expendi-
lures have no special significance, :
explained Mr.. Ulrich.
\ In view Of a definite policy which
Sears has consistently followed
since first entering the retail fielC
Is years ago-that of using the
newspapers as our almost exclu
sive retail advertising medium
the increase was perfectly normal
It is pretty well accounted for b!
the fact that we opened numbe
of new stores during '39 and tha
our gross sales were the highest u
the history of the company during
the same year, thus making avail
able more money for advertising
| 1T is quite apparent from tn
study prepared by our national Of
fee that while Sears will not dis
regard other forms of advertising
we will continue TO attract custom
ers into our stores through liber
al use of newspaper space"
