SaddIelea+her
Makes Smart
Accessories
BY JOAN DEAN

THE ROMANCE of western
saddle leather-that's something
you gals will have to talk about
this Spring. You may not ride
the range with the cowboys. but
you'll certainly have a thought
for them.
Because you'll be wearing
shoes and bags and belts made
Of the same fine saddle leather
that has been famous in Cali
fornia for vars and vars. Foot
wear made of genuine range
hides, with the natural branding
iron marks and scars IN the
leather.
TANNED WITH California
oak bark is this leather, in the
old-fashioned way. The primitive
methods are often the best-and
in this case the bark-tanned
leather is fair proof, for it is
free from dyes. acid burns or
adulteration of any kind.
It's in the natural color-a
lovely light beige tan with a
pinkish cast, which harmonizes
perfectly with beige, navy or
vitamin green costumes for the
printemps. And il gets prettier
the longer you wear il.
EXTREMELY LUSTROUS. It
has an enamel-hke surface that
cannot be damaged by wear.
Possesses wonderful polish and
becomes smoother and brighter
with use. taking on a rich mel
low glow like a meerschaum
pipe.
And TO clean it-guess what
you wash the surface lightly
with SADDLE SOAP. Not much
water is needed-juSt apply
nice lather of the soap and then
polish off with a dry cloth This
treatment instantly removes rain
marks and soil
DESIGNED AND made in
California are { h csc saddle
leather accessories. The sports
shoes are very western in type,
having punchwork trimming on
the vamp and brass nail heads
in front and al the sides to give
the appearance of a decorative
rodeo saddle.
Wedge heelS-mcdium height
arc combined with platform
soles in the sports models. and
they're wonderfully comfortable
for play Open toes-still good
this season - appear in these
shoes.
PURITY PURITY is the punched
trimming on the vamp of the
afternoon shoe. with medium
height heel. II gives a dainty
effect that's most fetching. A
street pump with fringed leather
bow an d intricate stitching
around the low throat is equally
smart.
The large bag that accom-
panieS the footwear Is a honey.
II has a wide base and double
top handles. plus top Upper and
is fitted, with many pockets in
side Price is only S5.95. A
simple belt Of the same saddle
leather. with handsome buckle,
is SI50.

Fresh Fruit Adds More Health
And Flavor TO Daily Menu
BY PRUDENCE PENNY

BECAUSE THEY furnish
necessary protective food ele-
ments IN a most appetlZing
form. fresh fruits should be
eaten in some way every day.
Among those available for year
round serving are oranges, lem
ons and grapefruit
Oranges are especially good
In beverages. fruit cups, salads
and desserts. In addition TO ex-
cellent flavor they have firm
texture and are easy TO prepare
in sections and slices. For these
the large and medium sizes are
best Smaller sizes arc usually
chosen for Juice purposes.
To Divide
To peel oranges for sectioning
use a sharp. stainless steel
knife. Remove. all outer peel and
membrane; cut right down 10
the Juicy sections. To obtain
perfect ones free of membrane
cut down on either side of the
dividing membranes of the
peeled oranges. This releases
each individual section.
Here are some excellent new
suggestions for adding more
health as we'll as flavor to the
family menu:

Navy Filling Officer
BiIIets With NewIy
Trained Ensigns
Civilians Are Finding
1t Harder to Enter Ranks
OF Naval Reserves

With the graduate of another
large class at Northwestern Univer-
sity as ensigns in the Naval Reserve,
the Navy is rapidly filling it's COM
missioned officer billets in the lower
grades. The completion of schooling
and the commissioning, in a large
number of instances, is not complet-
ing the service of these young men,
for it was said at the Navy Depart
ment many of them are asking for
and are being given active duty with
the fleet
With the infusion of this young
element in the service, if the emer-
gency continues long enough, there
will be a gradual promotion to the
next higher grades. AS these are
filled, it will become increasingly
harder for men to enter the service
from civil life AS matter of fact,
the Navy has shown an indication
that it is ready for the time being to
close down on this source of getting
personnel. Although it is still re-
ceiving applications from civilians
for appointment in the service, it
was said that unless the applicant
has some special qualifications in
his civil employment which will fit
him for the naval service, there is
little opportunity now to get in. AS
a matter of fact, enrollments of
men for commissions in the Supply
Corps are being cut off, and the line
and aviation branches are being
filled from among the youth of the
land.
Furthermore. the age in grade
provisions of naval rank makes it
increasingly difficult for persons in
the 30s and 40s, in age, to get
in, because even if they had abb
solutely no naval training at all,
they would have to be placed in the
higher ranks of liteutenants and
lieutenant commanders, ranks which
it takes Is years or more for grad
uate of the Naval Academy to reach
under ordinary conditions, and then
with years of sea experience.
So it is said that only in a few
instances is it possible to take older
men in, for duty af1oat, which is
really where the Navy needs its
commissioned personnel now. Par
ticularly is this true in the Reserve,
where officers are being called to
active duty for service af1oat in
order to relieve regular naval per-
sonnel for other duties.

Promotion Measures
For Reserve Officers
Offered in Congress
Legislation Provides
For Automatic Advance
To Next Higher Grade

OF interest to every Reserve officer,
including those on extended active
duty with the Regular Army or those
still occupying their inactive duty
status, are identical measures in
troduced last week in the Senate
and House designed to provide for
automatic promotion of Reserve
officers. Under this proposed Iegis-
lation, those holding a commission
for three years and certificate of
capacity for the grade of first
lieutenant would be promoted to the
grade; those holding commissions
for seven years and certified for the
grade above, or holding a commits
sion as first lieutenant FOR four years
and certified for the grade of cap
tain would be promoted to that
grade. Those holding commissions
for II years and a certificate of
capacity for the grade above that he
holds, or holding commission as
captain for five years and certificate
of capacity for major, would be
promoted to the grade of major.
With respect to promotion among
Reserve officers of field grade, those
officers holding Il commission for 18
years and having a certificate of
capacity for the grade above that
which he holds, or those holding
commission as major for six years
and a certificate of capacity for
lieutenant colonel, would, under the
proposal. be promoted to the grade.
Those Reservists holding a commits
sion for 25 years and a certificate of
capacity for the grade above that
which he holds, or those holding
commission as lieutenant colonel for
seven years and a certificate of
capacity for colonel, would be pro-
NOTED to the grade of colonel.
Those officers who are originally
commissioned as first lieutenants
would be assumed to have three
years of service, and those originally
commissioned as captains would be
assumed to have three years service
as second lieutenant and four as
first lieutenant for promotion pur-
poses.
For longevity pay. a subject in
which every Reserve officer is in
terested, full-time credit would be
allowed for all periods during which
the Reserve officer held any COM
missions in the military or naval
forces. Any Reserve officer who
served in commissioned status in
the World War and has been reap
pointed as specialist. would be pro-
NOTED to a grade commensurate with
his age, assignment and qualifica-
tions.
