FUNNY-BUT CLEAN

Have you heard some of the
service gags that are going
around?
Jones was standing his first
watch and hailed a passing vessel,
"Ahoy! What ship are you?" The
skipper raised his megaphone and
beloved back, "The Helvetia."
Jones went into a slow burn and
then shouted, "The same to you!
Is that any way to answer a civil
question:"

 Now" he player said to me, T found out afterwards that I could have made this hand. Do you see how?"
 "Yes," answered. T see that you could have made it. After talk ing the third round of hearts, South forced out your third top diamond. You should now have cashed the ace of clubs, hten led the six of clubs and finished the ten if South played now. Then you lead a fourth heart from dummy, discarding your king of clubs. South takes his good diamond, but then has to lead clubs, and you get in dummy to cash the fifth heart"
 DO you mean to say that you saw all that at a glance? And do you think I should have figured it out?"
 well, frankly" I said, T didn't have figure it out. only hal to recognize the hand. About six years ago, substantially this same hand turned up, and Charles Goren of Philadelphia played 1t just as I have described in order to make con- tract. There is your answer to the question of whether player should be able to figure out this chance with only two hands in sight"

IGlovijing Yourself
 
my Ancia MaEa
NEA serrice st. | vv-iter

NEA Service Sta r Writer
 The mailbag shows a yoc6 many women are sts,., or sitting before their mirrors and asking themselves: what is the cause of this oily scalp, what causes that drandruff, how could I fix it? Is it my diet, is it lack of calcium, would drinking more milk help, could I fix 1t with tonic?
 Since this is a time, if there ever was time, for getting your beauty secrets down to realistic, practical and simple basis, you might profit by answering all such questions with What encourages dandruff is-not brushing. What relieves 1t is-brushing. Ditto for oily scalp.
 ALWAYS TRY
 BRUSHING FIRST
 Of course that's not the whole answer for any case. But it's such big pjart of the answer in each case that it would be wise to check 1t first, especially if you're an aver age healthy woman.
 You could go into the pathology of the troubles, learning about the glands of the scalp and how they work and why they sometimes don't but that would get you back finally to the fact that your course of action, barring an unusual con- dition, begins with brushing.
 If you have stubbornly oily scalp or persistent dandruff and if you're willing to really go after 1t, try this routing:
 Brush the hair for few min utes at night then apply a little tonic or any preparation that helps close the relaxed scalp pores. Part hair in sections, dip a bit of cotton into the liquid and lightly moisten the scalp with 1t. Then put your el- bows on 8 low table, rest your head in your hands, and massage for two minutes, using your palms in circular movement.
 Now take coarse towel and wipe away any moisture on the scalp, then brush again for two minutes. Afterward, you can push your waves back into place.
 (Always when brushing, brush against the grain"-that is, in the opposite direction from which the hair usually lies)
 Repeat this treatment every night for a week, every other night for two more weeks, then take regular soap and water shampoo. During the fourth week, and from then on, repeat the whole treat ment at least two nights a week and. on the other five nights use your hairbrush for three to five minutes before going to bed.
 Then-where's the oily scalp, the dandruff? If you still see any, you need direct, individual care by an hair expert and probably by phy- sician too.

. Household Hints
By MARGUERITE YOUNG NEA Service stan Writer

New York.-A scarf instead of a blouse scarfs serving as jackets flowers in the hair or just a quill instead of a hat with a street dress those are introduced by the American designer, Mainbocher in his new spring 1942 collection. And they're just as prophetic for the average American woman as were many things she gasped at when Paris brought them out.
 This is the fourth New York col- lection shown by Mainbocher, the Chicago boy who made good in Paris, and came back to carry on in the great tradition of French dress making--but in the American groove.
 His scarfs are a striking example. Many houses have played up suits with blouses and gilets, or bibs. Even the gilets, however, have been often fussy. Mainbocher just takes a perfectly plain, straight strip of interesting looking cloth, puts 1t around the models throat, crosses the scarf in front-and there's the instead of"

become so critical of the organiza- tion in which you are working that you scare others away from it.
 Don't be an easy mark, taking on more jobs than you can do efficiently, just because you hate to say "No" when you really should.
 Don't be a joiner, signing up for anything the other girls do, just to be in the swim
 Don't be responsibility dodger, one of those who is willing to be a cog but not willing to take on any real responsibility.
 BE AN ASSET,
 NOT A LIABILITY
 Don't be independable, thinking that just because you are doing volunteer work without pay, you don't have to be certain place at a certain time and that when a oefense class and a a social event event is the more important of the come at the same hour, the social two.
 Don't be choosey, deciding that someone else can do the hard and the routine jobs and that you will wait until an opportunity worthy of your brains and ability comes along
 Don't be a trouble maker, vast ing valuable time in petty squab- bjAs, CT indulging in hurt feelings.
 Just because women's war work is on a voluntary basis doesn't mean that is isn't vitally important.
