First of all, because you're looking
forward to an evening of rhythm m
romance, you're careful about the
bane of the females existence,
namely: DO! You battle first, then
you use a depilatory to remove that

Then, you apply deodorant to insure
daintiness while "jiterbugging" or

You take time to edo" your hair
to the best possible advantage. You
spray on aura of tantalizing fragrance

distinctly YOURS, and will penetrate
the consciousness of whomever you

Your hands are soft and subtly CLEAN

100 Believed Killed
In Chilean LandsIides
Nv the Associated Press,

BY the Associated PreSS.
ANTOFAGASTA, Chile, July Is.
More than 100 persons we're feared
today to have been killed by land
slides which followed rare rain
storms along Chile's nitrate coast
yesterday.
Reports by radio from the north
ern nitrate port of Tocopilla said
almost 100 we're killed in that region
alone.
Sides of sandy hills tumbled down
upon towns in Antofagasta Prov
ince, burying many persons and
rendering hundreds homeless.
Numerous mines were flooded in
the nitrate and copper producing
desert between the Andes and the
ocean, where transforms are un-
usual.
Broken communications prevented
the full extent of the casualties and
damage from being known imme-
diately.
