D Aida HaES

(NEA Service Staff Writer)
 Furs, in the form of jackets and trimming on coast, are lovely and glamorous all right, but altogether too many women forget that they demand the greatest effort toward meticulous grooming or their glam- orous effect is spoiled.
 A tiny bottle of cleansing lotion or a few tissues impregnated with cleansing cream should be MUSTS in the purses of the woman who would achieve that hawleSs-from- head-to-foot look. She should be more careful than ever to have the back of her neck spotlesSly clean. HANDS ARE
 HIGHLIGHTED
 Furthermore, since many daytime coats have short sleeves, nail pol ishes and hand creams become of greater importance.
 In these days of holiday parties, the grooming conscious woman spends time planning her evening ensembles with great care. She knows that evening wraps of fur demand faultless cultures, shiny and arranged to perfection. She experiments with eye makeup. But if she doesn't lilAe it, she doesn't wear it just because they" are us- ing it. She goes without.
 HARMONIZE PERFUME
 WITH CHARACTER OF FUR
 Perfume is another thing she con- siders carefully in relation to her furs. There's a certain affinity be- tween perfume and fur. With the more costly furs, she chooses exotic scents or heavy floral odors-gar- denia, for instance.
 With such furs as kidskin, car acul, squirrel and Alaska seal, the lighter bouquets or the more deli- cate boral odors are appropriate.
 Spicy perfumes, perhaps with tang of the woods, are what she should seek to use with sports furs like ocelot, raccoon, beaver, nutria, skunk and opossum.

TRENCH MOUTH (VINCENT'S
 ANGINA)

A dentist presenting a paper on Trench Mouth before medical so- ciety meeting said it is primarily filth disease, but that predispos- ing causes are diet deficient in vitamin o and irritated unhealthy gum tissues. Therefore, the dentist maintained, Trench mouth may be prevented by keeping the teeth clean, the gums healthy and mak- ing sure to get plenty of vitamin C..
 The dentist seemed to imply that the filth that gives rise to what he characterized as the most vicious and painful disease, rapidly des- tructive to gum tissues, is the un- clean condition in the mouth of the victim. While the dentist mention ed, somewhat sKeptically the spiro- chete T'reponema vincent as the specific germ of Vincent's angina, he said nothing about the mode of infection; rather, from the con- text of his paper the dentist seem- ed to assume that the specific germ of trench mouth is perhaps a na- tural inhabitant of the mouth and it attacks the gum or other tissues only when these get into an un- healthy state from nutritional de- ficiercy Qack of vitamin O or from irritation mad neglect of mouth cleanliness. brushing the teeth, maSsaging the gums, and all that fo t,oi1iof. 1iV1n of friOly hxynioY1n
 The dentist mentioned simple, efficient remedy suggested by an- other dentist who is physician as well:
 One-fourth teaspoonful salt
 One-fourth teaSpoonful boric
 (boracic) acid
 One-half teaspoonful hydrogen
 peroxide
 Glassful warm water
 To be used hourly as mouthWash
 until infection disappears. If
 there is acute, pniful swelling
 use solution as hot as bearable.
 AS a remedy that seems harmless enough-perhaps is harmless even to the Treponema vincenti. Peroxide in foamirg gives off oxygen, and the Treponema is anaerobic, that is, cannot live unless protected from oxygen or air. Another remedy which acts in the same manner is sodium perborate-make paste by moisten- ing little with water, and spread the paste on raw or Liberated patch es in mouth Or on gums, allow it to remain for several minutes, re- beating the application two or three times a day. For mouthwash and gargle dissolve a teaspoonful of warm Water-use this mouthWaSh and gargle several times day.
 Unquestionably trench mouth is spread in most instances by con- taminated drinking or eating uten- silS in soda fountains, lunch rooms, cocktail joints, hotels, restaurants. All such utensils should be sterilized by boiling after every serving, or diSinfected by standing in chlorine solution after the usual washing. Fragrant neglect of such cleanliness is the filth" responsible for the spread of trench mouth.
 If the food or drink dispenser is too dumb to chlorinate the dishes he can at least see they are steam ed or boiled before they are served to the customer.

. MeKEkNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Sparkling Defense Helps Champion Win National Honor
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

If there is such a thing as a femi- nine game, Mrs. Adelaide NeuWirth of New York, one of the new na- tional Women'S team-of- -four cham pions, plays it. Her bidding seems very meek and easy-going, her plays are not spectacular. She just plays a quiet, unassuming game, but at the end of the evening she usually has fine ScoIe.
 While Mrs. NeuWirth did double the contract on today's hand, you will note that she was capable of making the fine play necessary to defeat the contract.
 To understand Mrs. Neuwirth's s defense. we must look at the play at the other table of the match. There the hand was played at the same contract and with the same lead.
 The jack of hearts was allowed to win the first trick. Another heart lead was won by the ace. South laid down the ace of trumps to take a look Then she led her last heart for dummy to ruff.
 A trump lead let her pick up East,s trumps South laid down the jack of diamonds, but West held off the ace. When South cashed the rest of the trumps, however, West was forced to hold two spades and the blank ace of diamonds for the last three cards. South then led the seven of diamonds, and the force spade return by West gave declarer the last two tricks.
 At the table where Mrs. Neuwirth sat East, she forestalled this line of play by covering her partners jack of hearts with the queen Thus she was bound to get in the lead with the queen of hearts or the nine, in time to lead a spade through the ace.

SnOw-DOdger Needs More Than Bathing Suit At Smart Southern Resorts
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Miami Beach - Looking over the Sunday roto sections, you might get the idea that all you need for southern vacation is a bathing suit. Far from it. If you follow the ex- ample of the best-dressed, you won't go south with only play clothes in your bags.
 The sinartest women at those friendly civic rivals, Miami and Mi ami Beach, wear simple day dresses in splashy silk prints and in white and pastel washable materials and wide variety of trig little feather weight suits great deal of the time. They seem to go many places where casual dresses and suits are more suitable than slacks and shorts.
 They like prints for all occa- sions this year. Colorful, gay ones make bathing suits, patio pajamas, day dresses and suits as well as evening gowns. The Gar den of Eden patterns eye-catch- ing and exotic in fruit and floral patterns - suggest the lush vege- tation of tropical jungles.
 GAY COLORS FOR
 VACATION DAYS
 In smaller allover prints there are Seminoia designs, directly inspired by the brilliantly colored, horizont- ally striped costumes of Florida's Indians. Then there is the famous annual Burdine Sand-in-your- shoes" motif. Miamians tell you that if you once get sand in your shoes down here, you always will return. The 1941 interpretation of this tra- dition is a tiny allover pattern. motif of which is Woman's hand emptying sand out of her shoe.
 AS it should be for clothes de- signed to be worn during gay va cation days, brightness is the key note of all of Burdine's sunshine fashions. When prints aren't used, vivid solid colors and cleancut, softer pastels are. Rendezvous" is a. soft red, sometimes called nastur- tium. American Beauty" is wide ly discussed color ever since dozen of John Robert Powers 'long-stem- med American beauties" flew down here and wore it, in various cos tunes, for a spectacular fashion show. The models from the famous Powers agency took the town by storm.
 Other smart shades in Florida at the moment are: Sunshine Yel- low, a clear sunny shade; Back Talk Blue a bright turquoise; Honey Pink, a pale pastel; and Lonely Heart Blue, a deeper, more grayed tone.

men, Presently, satisfied, he climbed up on
sand bar and rolled in the glistening sand
to dry his coat. Then he stood up, shook him
self, listened. Suddenly he had sensed some
thing strange in the mems behavior. They
seldom came into the jungle, and when they
did, tried to avoid him. But today they were
coming directly toward him! They were after
him! Indignation famed through him. He
threw up his head and snorted.
Then he considered what he should do
about the men. One of his favorite haunts
was down where the spur joined the main
body of the jungle. A deep, swift river filled
with crocs cut obliquely through there, form
ing natural barrier to the east. To the north,
and separating part of the spur from the
main jungle, ran small stream bordered by
treacherous swamp. Through it, he knew
passage. 1t was submerged, broken ridge
of ground beneath the surface of the oozy
mud; but he knew the footholds, and the
black men didn't. Beyond there was small
glade thick with the delicious pulpy red
flowers of the mood - the food he liked best
of ALL
He was hungry now. He snorted again,
splashed arrogantly across the pool and
crashed away through the dense vegetation.
The sun stood high in the skies when he
came out on the bank of the stream safe
distance above the passage. He crossed
patch of mud where his footprints would re-
main deeply engraved. walked into the water
where he knew they would instantly dis
appear, and proceeded downstream at his
ease His pursuers were still far behind him.

was content. No one disputed his will.
Except the big Okapi.
1t was the only one of its kind that had
ever ventured out of the main body of the
Jungle to roam southwark into Steve's spur.
And now it had developed this obstinate
habit of coming into the clearing at night and
eating the seedlings, the very life of the plan
tation.
Steve got up and stretched the muscles of
his back: I've let him be for three years"
he grumbled, land never let him be hunted.
He does this just to be ornery."
lHE Okapi was enjoying his bath, the fol-
lowing morning, in shaded, shallow pool.
His thick strong legs were striped black and
white His coat was the color of FURNISHED
mahogany on the back and head, silver on the
belly and chest. He was beauty, and he gave
himself the most meticulous care.
He knew his strength and exulted in it.
What the thick bony plate of his forehead
could not batter down, his hind feet could
finish with kick like steel spring. And in his
head was all the knowledge of the Jungle
and the ways of men; all the cunning that
he needed He splashed happily, laid down,
rolled over got on his feet and ran through
the water
A sound reached him, and he stopped,
thrust forward one of his huge red ears and
shifted with annoyance. Black men were ap-
