 Cleanliness is one of the sound principles on which true attrac- tiveness is based. No fastidious woman, determined to appear at her best day in and day out, under estimates for moment the im- portance of daily bath or of hair which looks, mells and IS clean.
 She may bathe in the morning or at night before going to bed or just before dinner. She may pre- fer a shower to tub. She may like bath oils and after-bath lotions or she may not. Her preferences in these matters are not so very im- portant. What is important is the fact that she does take bath every single day.
 With the blunt end of an orange stick or with little brush, she cleans her nails every day. She knows that dark polish conceals dirt under the nails, but she won't stand for any covering-up business. Her nails are clean, polish or no. FREQUENT
 SHAMPOOS
 So are her ears. That male so- ciety columnist who complained that women no longer wash their ears doesn't irk her even a trif1e. She knows that her ears, and the area behind them, too, are always clean.
 She has, or gives herself, a shampoo once week. At least three nights between shampos, she bruhes her hair with clean brush and remembers to wipe the brush on a towel after every ten or fifteen strokes. Besides stimulating the scalp and being good for the hair, the brushing removes the days &C., emulation of dust and grime.

In grandmother's time oranges were 8 rare delicacy. But now Americans have taken oranges out of the class of luxuries and put them on breakfast tables through out the land. The 194O crop is ex- pected to be more bountiful than usual. Oranges are abundant every where-from the general store at the country cross roads to the city delicatessen. Although oranges are available throughout the year, the big orange season begins in Janu- ary.
 Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin O. Vitamin 0 is a rather special vitamin. It has an important function in keeping bones and teeth in good condition. A real shortage of vitamin 0 will produce scurvy- once so dreaded by old-time sail- ors who were often without fresh foods for months at a time
 BULK ORANGES
 ECONOMICAL
 Even when the supply is plenti- full, care must be used to select good values in oranges. First, weigh" the oranges in your hand. If they feel heavy for their size. they probably will have plenty of juice. Next. be sure the oranges are firm and that they have so soft spots where spoil- age may occur.
 If the food budget is limited, bulk oranges may be 8 better bargain than those that are graded and wrapped individually in paper. The graded oranges look more attractive because they. are washed and poll ished, but the ungraded ones usu- ally have the same food value and the same flavor. Which ever kind you choose, avoid oranges that are puffy, spoiigy, or wilted.
 Orange juice has become break fast tradition. It is one of the first foods given an infant. Juice ig the

happy ending for many oranges "Pineapples" and the midseason or. anges, which are commonly used fol juice purposes, are on the marke, now at a reasonable price. Later ir the spring there will be the Val enCias-first from Florida and then from California.
 To get most juice for your money. select the heaviest and smoothest which affect only +he outside ap- pearance of the fruit. Russet spots or slight scarring which may appear on the outside of the skin, will not affect the flavor or the amount of juice. Lower grade oranges frequen- tly are the best bargain for juice purposes.
 SELECT ORANGES
 FOR TABLE USE
 If the orange is to be used for purposes other than producing juice, the dessert or salad type is preferred. These oranges are easy to peel and easy to eat when divided into sec- tions or when sliced.
 Naval oranges, most of which come from California, probably are the commonest variety of dessert oranges now on the market. Temples and Mandarin type oranges, such as tangerines, are other varieties that are easily eaten out of hand.

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Paris, Jan. 30-(UP)-The 10 best-dressed women today, Paris dressmakers voted yesterday, are led by the Duchesses of Kent and Windsor and include, for the first time, Queen Elizabeth.
 Women, the dressmakers decided, in the annual United Press poll are better dressed this season than at any time since Cleopatra, despite the war, and the 10 chosen as dressed the best, all have wardrobes plus furs and jewelry, worth more than $1,000,000 each. The war and jewelry, of course, increased the cost of distinctive dressing.
 The dressmakers voted these women the 10 best dressed:
 1-2. The Duchesses of Kent and Windsor tied.
 3. Mime. Antenor Patino, the South American "tin princess" wife of the heir to one of the five rich esA men in the world, who is the daughter of the Duke and Duchess de Durcal.

 5. Begun Aga Khan.
 6. Mrs. Gilbert Miller, wife of the New York theatrical producer.
 2. Baronne Eugene de Rothschild
 8. Mrs. Harrison Williams of New York.
 g. Countess Barbara Hutton Re- ventlow, heiress to the "five-and- dime" Woolworth fortune.
 10. Queen Elizabeth.
 The Duchess of Rents rise to the top of the list undoubtedly was influenced by her choice of dresses for her sojourn in Australia where her husband is to be governor-gen- era.l
 Stylists contended that the two Duchesses have almost no tastes in common, but each, in her own way, attains near perfection. The Duch- ess of Kent, they said, had a better choice in hats and tailored clothes to wear in the morning, but Wind- sor's taste was superior for after noon reception clothes and evening and dinner gowns.

 But the usual thing happens, alas when a child learns to measure the affection of his family only by the things they heap on him. He may take down with that horrible germ of acquisitiveness and look to more gifts without much thought for the giver.
 GET INTO HABIT
 OF SELFISHNESS
 Many children grow to their teens allowing parents to continue any kind of sacrifice in their favor, long after they are really adult enough to make some return or at least to thoroughly appreciate what is being done for them and what has been done.
 The matter at hand is not the giving itself, but whether or not the young recipients love those who give. Often they lack any affection at all, as we know, but rather ridicule or scorn the very ones who provide.
 When this is the case, the mischief has happened years before.
 Small children will love the parent who makes them understand that they must do their part. They must learn appreciation of favors by doing and giving favors.
 The child will love the parent who is fair; fair in giving, in discipline and who has an even temper, cou- pied with imagination and humor The way to child's love is to be his friend.

department. which showed almost
100000 automobiles n tere d the
state during 1885,
B. H. McAhren, superintendent
of the division, said the 390,583 in
coming automobiles, the highest
number ever recorded, represented
an increase of 1,145 over the num-
ber of cars checked in during 1888
at various border stations.
The great influx of tourists
brought about a sharp rise on reve-

McAhren said most of the increas-
ed revenue came from tourists dol
lars. His figures showed while the
number of tourists cars jumped by
