 Deodorants and anti-perspirants are among the war-struck charm budgets important requisites, espe- cially in winter It's surprising how few girls and women are aware Of this. They seem to think the aids of fastidiousnesS are called for in sum mertime only.
 Actually, what's more uninviting to the wearer, as well as her com. panions, than @ heavy, non-wash dress to which there clings some suggestion of precipitation? When you have fewer clothes, as most of us do nowadays, you must keep them immaculate by preventing soil- ing as far as possible, If you expect to enjoy wearing them.
 And besides these aesthetic con- alterations, there's purely practi- cal one: precipitation wears fabrics harder than almost any other com mon kind of soiling. It may be re- moved by cleaning, but 1t takes a toll, nevertheless, of all but the toughest material.
 When you choose these beauty aids, distinguish between a true anti-perspirant and deodorant. An anti-perspirant, which discourages should be used occasionally, at least once a week. Between times, you should use a true deodorant. This simply checks odor, and continued precipitation naturally carries away the deodorant after time. Women who find powder deodorants ineffec- tive and who do not like the liquid variety, may like the newer cream types. They are easy to apply, and some are anti-perspirants.
 Be sure to follow directions care fully. Never apply any type of beau- ty aid under your arms immediate ly after shaving or using a depila- tory unless the directions specifically state that you may do so without harm. The skin of many women is delicate and subject to irritation, hence deserves special considera- tioE.
 There's been so much emphasis on the fastidiousness part of this subject, in recent years, that many women have been made overzealous about body odors.
 There's no need to go charing ina ginary odors in your closet or on your skin. But if you are given to worrying about them-whv, there's no better way to check that than by faithfully using a preventative.
 When you do use a deodorant, you can be pretty sure that any odor YOU seem to detect thereafter is imagined. And YOU can be sure that one very real hazard to durability of your clothes is removed, too.

HONE FRI SI;A3S!Ei1 Canned Goods RatiOning Is a Likely Prospect
BY ANN FRANCE WILSON NEA Service Staff Correspondent

NEA service StaU OOEEesPVnueHs
 Washington, Dec. l6.-The cat Is out of the bag-and there's no use evading the fact any longer. Though OPA and WIPE have been extremely leery of giving out any information on the proposed rationing of canned foods, 1t Is not secret that this is definitely in the works. The reason for the shroud of secrecy is the fear of hoarding by ill-advised house. wives.
 As has often been pointed out, nothing could be more easily hoard- ed than canned goods. It is under stood, however, that when the ra- tioning really comes into effect, there'll be an accompanying notice.
 You'll be asked for an inventory of the number of cans in your pos-
 session before you'll be allowed to
 buy any more on your ration book.
 And if the iIl-advised housewife
 tries to get away with fib,
 therc'n be the devil to pay-prob-
 ably in the form of large fine or
 even jail term.
 Paper Shortage
 There's a paper shortage in the ofing - but the chances that therell be another paper salvage campaign are slim.
 The reason for the scarcity reverts to the same old Shortage-lack of manpower to cut the trees to feed paper pulp mills. Transportation and the lack of sufficient electric power also enter the picture.
 WIPE is not going to try to tell the industry what paper products are to be eliminated to meet the short- age-the industry will work that out itself. And the outcome will prob ably be something like this: Therell be very few high priced, fancy paper novelties such as party plates, place cards, napkins, table cloths, and ex- pensive writing. These will be dropped in order that packing boxes newspapers and magazines won't be hit too severely. Of course, paper plates used in war factories will probably not be eliminated since this might be classified as essential use of paper.
 Reason the paper salvage drive will not be tried again Is that re-

DON'T SKIMP ON IMAGINATION

'"This is no year to overdo," Miss Hayes advises, but neither Is it a year to skimp on the festive touch. Especially since so much can be done with imagination and still plentiful things.
 People have been greens-con- scious for some time now, and they can, and no doubt will, use the plants whifh they have in their homes in new and interesting ar- arrangements. They'll have a great deal of mistletoe-hunks of 1t com- bined with those wonderful smelly pine branches"
 Philodendron is one plant, pos- sessed by a great many home makers and still plentiful in most flower shops, that lends itself to in- tereSting decoration. It is a delicate green vine with heart-shaped, ivy like leaves. Ivy also is plentiful.
 Two plants like this can be used to flank a fresh flowed arrange ment for a thoroughly festive mantel decoration-or one plant can be fianked by two vases of flowers. Though florists who are in touch with their fellows throughout the country are pretty uncertain about the supplies, de- pendent as this industry is on labor and on transportation, reliable sources expect therell be plenty of blooms in most American cities this Christmas season.
