THERE WILL be times that
the iris will make a vigorous
growth, large clump Of roots
and yet produce no blooms. The
best treatment for a case like
this will be TO dig all the roots
out, divide and replant. This
will be a good time TO discard
all the varieties that are not
suited to your garden.
Pay attention to the heights
of the various kinds of iris and
especially the bearded sorts.
This information can usually be
secured from a seed catalog. IF
the height of the plants is disre-
garded you may find the tall
growing kinds overshadowing
some lower growing kind whose
beauty will be lost.

Plan Color Combinations
Before Planting Iris
BY THE AMATEUR GARDENER

geous Oriental poppies that
come in so many bright colors.
Watch your colors when plant
ing and try to avoid planting the
salmons near the lilac-pinks
which makes a discouraging
combination. Plant blue iris
with either the orange or scarlet
poppies. Almost everybody likes
yellow and white and these two
colors can form the body of
almost any iris color scheme.
Many Varieties
1t will be hard to name any
outstanding variety of iris be-
cause the one that is most
popular today will be outdone by
a new one tomorrow or next
season and that is the way it
has been going along for the last
several years.
Iris are constantly being i'm
proved and inter-bred by special
lists until there are thousands
of varieties to choose from. The
best way to make a selection is
to visit a dealers garden when
the iris is in bloom, noting name,
color and height.

Tips for Men
In Today's
Column
BY DONNA GRACE

1T Is usually the girls and
women of the family we have in
mind when we speak of groom
ing. but today's column is going
to be for Men Only. It's about
excessive perspiration.
Men are really elegant kind
of things. Girls envy them
their poise, perfectly tailored
suits. Spotless linen, we'll mani
cured nails. clean shaven face
and general air of perfection,
but no one will excuse the one
who is not aware of the neces-
sity of using a perspiration pre-
ventive.
One may have a natural ten
dency to excessive perspiration.
but this is no excuse for going
about with the least suggestion
of body odor or perspiration
stains.

Reduce Thighs
With Easy
Exercise
BY IDA JEAN KAN

YOU MAY be normal weight
and not have a good figure and
get away with il - until the
swim suit season calls for thigh
exposure. This portion of the
figure seems TO be the measure
ment most in evidence in
beach hrevity and il is the one
most affected by the lack of
muscle tone.
Hop into your swim suit and
check up on your thighs. A
lovely measurement varies from
10 inches for the slight frame to
% inches for the heavy frame.
Hip Measurement
The tape should be circled
about the largest part of the
upper leg-slightly more than
halfway from knee to hip. With
normal weight and perfect
thigh measurement, you are not
likely to have the disfguring
Jumps and hollows that mean
flabby musculature.
But you can trust your eyes
and conscience more implicitly
than scales and tape measures.
If you haven't exercised. its
high time you took a few thigh
beautifiers.
Lie on your back on the floor
with the knees flexed and feet
together on floor near hips.
Very slowly and forcibly spread
knees as far apart as possible.
then bring together just as
slowly. Concentrate on the out
ward movement, making the hip
and thigh muscles work. This
exercise is especially good fol
developing a smooth inner
thighline. Repeat slowly 10
times.
Rest for a minute. then go on
to the next thigh streamliner:
Lie on the back on the floor
with legs straight in the air at
right angles to trunk. Separate
again. and cross over. Continue
for five counts. rest, and do five
more counts.

Removes Odor

Modern perspiration remedies
can be applied every night, If
necessary, at least until the eX-
cessive elimination is checked.
then once or twice a week will
suffice.
This modern cream acts at
once and not only dries the
moisture. but removes odors.

quently, but the average man
wears his suits for months with.
of course, the occasional press
ing and frequent cleaning. but
those who perspire freely and
do not check il will find IL I'M
possible TO remove the odor
from suits and coats.
During the first warm days
before we really decide to leave
off the heavier clothing il will
be necessary to take special
precautions in bathing and the
application of this preventive.
Personal Hygiene
We believe the reason some
men have not used perspiration
remedies is they class them as
feminine cosmetics. Perspira-
-llnn nneXen1iYe comes under
personal hygiene and should be
used by every adult or even
young person who perspires
freely.
The women OF the family
should have this cream at hand
in the toilet cabinets and remind
their men and boys TO make use
of il.
We believe II is always advis-
able to follow the directions on
the package and use the cream
before going 10 bed, although
this new type may be applied at
any time.
II does not stain or injure the
clothing and should keep the
skin dry and forta b ] e
throughout the day.

For an exercise and massage
combination. try tins: Lie on
back on floor with knees flexed
and feet on floor, one slightly
ahead of the other. Now, clap
the inner thighs together hard!
Keep clapping until you are
tired. That will help to give you
a nicely tapered inner thigh
line.

Print Frocks
Of Chinese
Origin
BY JOAN DEAN

AUTHENTIC CHINESE le-
gendary prints-the first group
of these lovely creations has ar
rived in Detroit. And now their
story can be told. These are
the guarded MOTIF of Chinese
legends and dynasties, the tradi-
tons of centuries, translated for
the first time in printed
fabric.
. Sponsored by the Consul Cen
erals committee of the Chinese
Women's Reief Association,
whose chairman is Nine.
Chang Kai-shek, the Chinese
motifs are shown in rayon
shantung fabrics, to be sold in
the smartest of new Summer
washables.
MERCY BY THE YARD" is
the slogan of the manufacturers
cooperating with the Chinese
committee-for 5 per cent of the
proceeds on the fabrics will be
donated to relief work in China.
Rayon shantung-the pet of
fashionableS for Summer
makes all the dresses. And this
material has been treated by a
special patented process called
sanitizing. which keeps it fresh
and dainty, free from perspira-
ton odor. Each d ess or acces-
sorry carries a booklet telling
briefly the story of the prints.
FASCINATING TALES these
are. since each of the designs
has been inspired by a Chinese
legend or painting. There are
China NUNS and Butterflies-an
allegorical design suggested by
the lines of a Chinese love poem:
The peach blossoms of Spring,
the chrysanthemums of the
Fall"
The Lotus Maiden takes its
motif from the heroine of lost
romance who symbolizes fidelity
and who appears decoratively
with lanterns and lotus blossoms
in white on Wan Tan ground.
And then there's the golden
pheasants. a pattern of gorgeous
birds, which is sketched!
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-14
GOLDEN PHEAsANTs is a


border print which is most ef-
fectively used in this frock with
the two-piece look. A youthful
model that features the elon-
gated waist and chic casual
neckline, it has Chinese ac-
cents in the white bone buttons
with pheasants in color
The skirt. which is pleated all
the way around, has the print so
arranged that the birds in white
patterns are on the top of the
pleats with contrasting dark
shade underneath, showing only
when you walk.
CHINESE COLORS with Chi
nese names highlight the dress.
It comes in lockwood brown
with white, raven black. almond
green or pagoda red with white.
(Other fashions in the group
come in such lovely shades as
dynasty blue, favored light
blue and Peiping green, a very
vivid hue).
Exceptional values are all the
print frocks, since the manufac-
turers have priced them as mex
pensively as possible to the end
that sizeable yardage may be
sold, to support the Chinese re-
lief campaign. In sizes 1920,
the dresses are S7.95 each!

Zoning Of Heating
Plant Suggested

One % the newest refinementz
Of automatic heating which : BE-
ing applied 10 many new houses
now under construction Is the
separate zoning Of the first floor
and secon floor.
Zoning simply means dual
thermostAtic control system One
thermostat controls the tempeTa-
lures on the first floor and another
instrument maintains the re-
quired temperature on the second
floor.
Thus the temperature Of the
first floor may be kept somewhat
higher than the second floor. II
this is desired. Such a tempera-
ture differential Is particularly de-
sirable at night when most per-
sons prefer 10 have little or no
heat in the second floor sleeping
rooms.
The advantage Of the separate
zoning Of the two floors Is not
only greater comfort and better
adjustment Of heating output to
the day and night requirements Of
the occupants. but also greater
economy in fuel consumption.
