the wire is in perfect condition be- fore you use 1t. Be sure, also, thas there Is no possibility of the pad coming in contact with moisture, else a short circuit may occur. CHECK DEGREE OF HEAT
 Although many electric pads are equipped with automatic devices t adjust the heat they should Dc watched carefully to see that they do not get too hot. An electric pad should never be left on all night while the patient sleeps, unless there is someone to watch 1t closely. Always wrap any heating appliance with towel or piece of flannel be- fore placing 1t against the skin.
 Chemical heating pads which heat quickly and retain heat well are on the market. But they, too, may become too hot and burn the patient severely, so they require the same precaution of wrapping and watching that other heating appli- anceS require.
 A hot water bottle properly filled and checked is an entirely satisfac- tory heating device. A good Sub- stitute for an electric pad or bot tie is small bag of salt or sand heated in the oven. It heats slow ly but retains heat well. One bag can be heating while another iS in use,

Here is a hand on which the North and South players stopped at four spades, aS they did on yes- terday's hand. AS soon as South received constructive response from his partner, he should have sensed the possible slam in the hand.
 Over one spade, perhaps the bet ter bid for South would be two no trump. That would tell his part ner that he had q good hand with at least e partial At sin spades North knowing that his hand was not suited for no trump, would un- doubtedly bid four spades over two no trump. Now South could make e mild slam try by bidding five clubs. North, with his fine At ir clubs, would not lose any time in getting into six spades.
 If the spades break two-two there is a possibility of making seven on the hand. If the spade suit breaks badly, six Is still as-

HOME FRONT FORECAST Textile Shortage Remains Acute As New Survey Starts

fit, or gift, remember that any type of tie-in sale is verboten. The fam ous Order LBS, issued by the War Production Board two years ago, specifically prohibited the sale, at one unit price, of dresses with jackets. boleros, capes, coats or redingotes. But nothing in the or- der prohibited selling them at sep- arate prices.
 However, an Office of Price Ad- ministration regulation does for- bid "tie-in" sales. That means you don't have to buy a matching print jacket, scarf, or hood, which goes with the dress you buy, but which is priced separately.
 The regulation states further that to get the stockings you want, you can't be forced to buy any other article, service, package, or wrapper. Tn other words, you can't be forced to buy a cardboard Eas- ter egg package for your gift stock ings, If you feel you want the stock" ings but can do without the egg ODDS AND ENDS

New York-The rainbow division of the Easter parade Will be made of suits, either lifted to Glizzif heights of color by coats or quieted down by the neutral shade of a top per. Color, which once knew and kept its place in sportswear, crash es the ranks of best-dressed suits and coats. It's more apt to dazzle the eye in suits which, because they're virtually uniform" for 65,- 100000 women, now are dipped in more shades of dye to banish 8 reg imented look.
 All of this brightness makes up for a lot of striped down simplicity in suits.
 Whats more, whichever hue you pick to brighten your spring outlook can be counted upon to dispel drab- ness in your wardrobe next fall, for they're all-season colors.
 Take, as an example, a talked about suit for spring of blue wool. As clutter free as surgeon s smock is the cardigan, which has a skirt even more narrowed down than last years version of the trous CT style. The suit enforces stten- tion by means of its own color, plIs a volley of pink and blue in pat termed silk used for a blouse and jacket lining that peeps out.
 Not every suit. however, Is as bright as dyed Easter egg. Some are half and half-such as a feat ured wool dressmaker which has a short, scalloped jacket of gold, and a skirt of inky black. The jacket advertises its kinship to the skirt by means of black buttons, parad- ing from an openedwide dandy col- lar to the scalloped hem line.

SeCC1nB Q AuCl- t1ed-but just to keep still
 Women probably are guilty of more boring. stupid talk while they are getting their hair done than at any other time.
 MAKES A BET
 They discuss their faces, feature by feature-and wonder aloud how they would look with their hair flat on top instead of in a pompa- dour.
 And, if they are the kind who like to brag little, they get in some of that to impress the opera tor with how important they are or how much money they have.
 And they complain about how tired they are from washing cur talns or sitting up all night with junior, and then go into a lengthy discussion of how they hate to sit under the dryer-though they may have been sitting under one once 8 week for IS years, and will con- tinue to do so as long as htey have the strength to get to beauty parlor.
 And all the while. the poor girl who is trying to make them look better than nature intended has to smile and nod and agree and sym pathize.
 Here's betting that if the CDVO puts some of those button your lip posters in beauty salons, the girls who work in them will be in favor of leaving them up along after the war is over.
