The American girl will pay less for
her fur coat in 1850 than at the pres
ent time due to U. S. farmers cutting
in on two million dollar fur market.
They are now blending sheep and
turning out swank fur coats Any
farmer can build up herd of half
bred ewes and by breeding them with
a Karakul ram can produce whole
crop of three quarter bred fur lambs,
year after year, into healthy cash
income The cross-bred pelts are in
distinguishable from imported Kara
lsul skins and bring the same prices
! Broadtail, Persian lamb and caracul
furs all come from Karakul lambs.
There are less than 10000 of these
Karakul lambs in the U. S. and no
more can be imported because of pro-
hibitive laws There are plenty of
common sheep but their wool doesn't
make caracul fur. So by blending
drop of Karakul blood with common
sheep the resultant offspring retains
the full quality of all-Karakul pelts.
The U. S. experiment farms are work
ing it all out successfully, establish
ing what can become new American
farm industry and giying U. S. wom-
en- a chance at smart fur coats at
cheaper prices!
Chinese women are suffering from
many new edicts in some parts OF
their native land. These new edicts
bar unstockinged legs, permanent
waves, lipstick, low-neck gowns and
mixed bathing.

GLAMOR
Don't say we didn't warn you! De
signers have determined to get our
waistline down around our hips again
"Molded torso" is all we read in the
clothing advertisements these days.
So if you haven't been exercising IN
order to keep tummy fiat and hips
smooth you better get right to work,
1-2-3- bend!
If YOU intend taking sun baths right
through September and retaining your
sun tan, think twice before you buy
your first black dress. Black is very
unfattering to sun-tanned COM
plexions. However, a cinnamon brown
outfit worn with coppery red llp-
stick and matching nail enamel will
bring out all the beauty of your sun
tan.
Suits are tops this coming season
and certain of them give the girls a
regimental appearance with their
military belts, epaulets and gay brass
buttons. r. A. F. blue is gray blue
similar to Defense blue and both are
as smart as they sound.

DONT'S FOR BEAUTY
If the deep V neckline, the vogue
for the moment isn't becoming be-
!, cause your face is thin or your neck
long, don't wear it.
Avoid smart new shades if they
don't fatter your skin.
If the new drop shoulder tends to
make your hips look larger, stick to
the padded shoulders.
One of our leading stylists says:
"To be a slave of fashion, is to de-
feat your own beauty ends. If you
want your clothes to enhance your
best features, adapt a fashion to your
self, instead Of adapting yourself to
the changing fashions"

Never sit with your feet crossed at
the ankles, or with your knees apart.
If you must cross your legs, cross
them above the knee as it is ageing
= and awkward to cross them below!

WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
Can women be employed to advan-
tage in aircraft factories? Can they
DO a significant number of the proc
esses involved? Miss Mary Ander-
son, Director of the Women's Bureau,
U. S. Department of Labor, in max
ing a report on seven selected air.
craft plants says Yes
"At least one-fourth to one-third Of
the jobs in the aircraft assembly
plants might be satisfactorily filled
by women" added Miss Anderson.
However this does not mean workers
in this proportion. While there were
