TYPICAL BEAUTY NECESSARY

But our newspaper art would be pretty dreary if all the girls wore overallS and goggles or nannish- looking pretty for the photographer.
 The picture of women in total- itarian countries have been that type for years-Tows and rows of big husky creatures either goose -step- ping or pitching hay or running machines
 But to think of women as just so many uniformed, strong-armed workers is depressing to Americans,
 Not that our women don't know how to work. American women have always pitched in and done any kind of work that had to be done whether 1t was helping to clear wilderness, to support a family, or to step into Q mans shoes in war time.
 But that Is no reason why we have to play up the women work CT" in her uniform instead, of a swim suit.
 The stream-lined bathing beauty is as typically American as the hefty, uniformed feminine worker is typi- cally totalitarian.
 And she is a lot easier on the eyes.

IPreview of Spring BonnetS Shows Sharp Line
 Drawn Between Hats for Work and Those for Play
By MARGUERITE YOUNG (NEA Service Stan Writer)

New York--pretty soon American women will be turning the adversity of war-short budgets to style cd. vantage--via the fur and straw and felt which they put on their heads.
 At least that's what the nilllners figure on for spring, l942.
 Their business Is anticipating women's feelings and expressing them In hats. Right now, designers and manufacturers are showing samples of what they expect women to want and buy for spring.
 There are two outstanding things about these hats.
 One Is, they show much more marked distinction between the hat for work and the hat for play. That means the hat men expect women to have both, though many an individual may possess Q smaller total than she did before the war.
 The other thing is, substitute materials ersats but new ma terials which have been discovered everywhere, including sources never thought up before, for hats and trimmings that offer additional advantages. Which indicates the milliner expects the woman to look for substitutes that improve on what used to be.
 SUBSTITUTES ARE
 TO THE FOREFRONT
 For instance, materials. Though felt is still the backbone material, and though there's plenty of im- ported straw for those who can buy 1t, the Millinery StablliSatlon Com- misSlonl's big show highlighted sub- stitutes too. And not only taHeta, but also synthetic fabric, straw and glass hats which are lighter, softer, brighter than many straw that preceded them. Likewise, metal dangles and leather ornaments give way---not only to fringe, but also to glass, which both dresses up the top-piece and signals for a lady in Q blackout.
 That last is designer Lilly Dache's contribution. She found the ma terial in the little glass rehectors that mark curves on the highways, and she uses 1t as red, white, and amber buttons on e navy blue wool overseas cap. John Frederics has similarly striking innovation: ordinary wrapping twine, looped and knotted to form c wide-brimmed picture hat, pretty too. Sally Vic. tor puts four little flashlights on

TRAIN 'EM YOUNG IS BEST PLAN

Gums are cleaned with 6 soft sterilized cloth dipped In warm wa- ter. Also teeth, when they ap- pear. The youngster should see a dentist every six months, for as second teeth appear, the dentist checks and corrects defects much easier than could be done later.
 Toddling age Is the best time to teach good posture. Show your daughter how to hold her head up, back straight. Small fingernails should be cut with sharp manicure scissors. It's A good idea to cut an infants while he or she sleeps. .
 In fact, it's wise to execute all of these personal care items with the least possible ado, and when the child must be made conscious of them-go easy. Your attitude may determine whether now and here after, such things are a chore, a deeply disliked business, or a pleasure.

 Glorifying the baby has nothing to do with powder and rouge, yet 1t fixes his or her attitudes toward those and other matters of per- sonal appearance, good grooming, and even general orderlineSS. Ask any good phychiatrist.
