Apply Perfume
To The Skin

GINGER ROGERS, who loves
perfume and has a wonderful
collection, thinks perfume should
never be applied directly to the
clothing. Rather it should be
touched to the skin, or applied
with an atomiZer.
It's particularly important,
these days. to keep perfume off
your clothing, for wartime fab
RIGS are new and different, may
stain or change color if touched
directly with scent. Even more
unexpected, perfume applied to
new synthetic fabrics is apt TO
change to a new color you don't
care for at all.

For Shopping Information, Call Joan

JUST AS soon as the leaves
of the gladiol turn yellow after
frost, il is time to dig the corn1s.
These, as you know. are not
hardy in our cold winters.
When digging. don't expect to
find intact the same CORN that
was planted in the spring. That
isn't how corrns work.
Since they consist Of just a
growing tip or bud and the rest
of the CORN is just stored food
which Is used up during the
growing season, there is practi-
cally nothing left of the old
corn by fall. It's withered husk
is all that is found.
However, on top OF the old
CORN will be found a new one,
developed during the growing
season. This is mature stock
for next seasons planting.
There will also be at the base

are cooperating in collecting
not only fats but other salvage,
estimates that it can depend
upon the Scouts alone for an
average of more than II tons
per month-at the very mini
mum a pound per week from
each one. With $500 collect
ing, they should reach at least
$4,000 pounds per month.
If you are interested in donat-
ing your fats call the Girl Scout
headquarters, Columbia 1900.
One of the Scouts in your neigh
borhood will collect any amount
from one pound up at your con-
venience. You may also make
arrangements for a regular APP

Store GIadiolus Corms
In a Cold, Dry Place
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Garden Editor, The Detroit Times

OF the parent CORN a number Of
much smaller corrnlets which
have hard outer shells.
Remove Cormlets
Dig the corms carefully and
take off the cormlets if you wish
to increase your stock.
It will take from one to three
years for these to mature into
full-sized corms. Put these tiny
corms in separate container
from the big ones.
From the large corms, remove
all dirt and the old shrivelled
CORN. Then allow these to dry
thoroughly, preferably outdoors.
Several boards may be placed
under tree where shade Is
light, the corms spread on these
and protected against dampness
during the night but open to air
and some sun during the day.
Three or four days of this
should see them dry. The CORN
lets are treated in the same
manner.
Then Store
Germs are then placed In
separate containers, either boxes
or paper bags according to vari-
ETY.; corTnlets are also separated
by variety and stored in the
same way.
In case the stock is infected
with thrips, and most glads are
nowadays. a handful of naptha-
lene flakes tmoth fakes, may
be added for each 50-100 corms
in the container, and the con-
tainer closed tightly for a month.
At the end of that time, the
moth fakes should be separated
from the corIns and the corms
stored in a cold, dry place such
as an unheated attic, a closet in
an unheated room, or a base
ment-but only II the latter is
exceptionally dry.
