The quartet, chosen from c field of 10000 young entrants in Q recent Design and Name It" contest, na. tionally sponsored by Q leading dresS firm for teen-timers, will have the thrill of seeing their prize. winning designs manufactured and distrih- uted by department stores through. out the country late in September. And their fashion firsts are expected to meet with whooping response.
 Feeling that she was one of those forgotten little girls" was what brought the winner of top honors and Q S2S0 War Bond, into the con. test, Marion Sweet, l7-year.old Glendale. Calf, high sheool senior, said; Because I couldn't find the kind Of ready.made clothes I liked, I have been making my own for the past three years. Art and designing courses in high school, which are my majors, encouraged me to take c whirl At original design"
 And you see the happy results in the design for date dress, sketched at the left. This slim.waisted. full- Skivted style will be made up in flannel in various colors and there wiA be Q bright neckband of felt ap- pliauc.
 Credit for another style, certain to be taken on by little snoothies, goes to lS-year.old Diana Rudman of Newark, N. J., whose original design skstched right, will be made up in- to a two.piece rayon crepe outfit. The dress with the pleated skirt will be available in solid colors, the sep. arAte jerkin in two-tone plaid of harmoniEing shades.
 Designs winning third and fourth prizes, claimed by Jean Tamburine of Piainesville, O., and June VII Hams of Jackson, Miss, respectively, and many others receiving honor- able mention by judges on the basis of good style, originality, practlca. bility mad youthful appeal will round out new lines of smart togs which will more than make up forsthe past neglect of the forgotten child,

A great star, in great story, based on e great novel;
 That's the new Spencer Tracy film, "rhe Seventh Cross," adapted from Anna seghers' celebrated book and brought to the Loew Poll the- atre by Metro Glodwyn-Mayer to q thrilled audience.
 "The Seventh Cross" story of seven who escaped 0 Nazi concen. tration camp, and particularly of George Heisler (played by MT. Tracy), Is one of the most dramatic offerings in many, many months. Directed with acurnen and under. standing by Fred Zinnermann and produced by Pandro 6. Berman, 1t features Q superb cast including signe Hasso, Hume Cronyn. Jessica Tandy, Felix Bressart and many other outstanding performers.
 Tracy has surpassed his triumphs in "A Guy Named Joe" and other of his recent hits, and Miss Hasso is not only lovely to look at but turns in an exciting portrayal as Tone, who shelters HeiSler from the Nazis.
 "The Seventh Gross" tells of the successful escape of one of seven fugitives from q concentration camp in the fall of lo36 when, although war had not yet begun. such camps were fast filling with German citi- gems who rejected the azi creed.
 George Heisler, in the beginning an embittered man, learns the true meaning of life and humanity as he makes his way slowly, painfully but surely to freedom-and to rec pay the debt he owes those who healed him.
 The film will keep you spellbound at all times. It is one of those rare pictures which at once contribute magnificently to the stature of the screen and are completly entertain ing at the same time. Be sure to see "The eventh CrosS.'
 The co-hit on this big program is Goodnight Sweetheart" with Ruth Terry.

Here is an interesting hand played by Crawford. After winning the first trick with the club ace, West cashed the ace of hearts and felt certain of defeating the contract. His hand looked good for three trump tricks. Another heart was led, Crawford winning with dummy's jack. and discarding Q low diamond from his hand. He won the next trick with the queen of clubs and led q low spade, dummy'S queen winning. The queen of hearts was led, and although 1t was good, Crawford ruffed, led c club to dummy's king and trumped the king of hearts with the six of spades. Now he cashed the ace and king 0: diamonds and led his last diamond. West had only the ace, jack and ten of trumps left, and thus was forced to trump and concede the contract. fulfilling trick to Crawford's king.

 For she keeps Jimmy, between the hours when he gets out of school and when his mother comes home from her part-time job, which hap- pens to be an essential one.
 And by staying with the children of servicenen at night, gre makes it possible for young couples who may be separated ct any time to have . little fun together, without wondering whether or not junior ls getting proper care.
 HAS GOOD TIME, TOO
 She Is having c good tine, for like most women her age whose children are grown, she misses hay. ing children about her house. And taking care of other peoples for . few hours at Q stretch somehow fills that lack.
 Then, too, she has become better acquainted with the young couples of her community than she other. wise would have. That Is in itself c fine thing for any older person.
 A lot of older folks sit around and talk about what c shame 1t iS the way young folks run of and leave their kids with irrespon. Sible girls who aren't old enough to look after them properly. But If . few more of them would pitch in and help the young parents out c bit aS this woman is doing-there wouldn't have to be SO much head shaking.
 Most of them have forgotten what this woman remembers. That when c couple are young 1t is only na. tural for them to want to go out and have Q little fun together. and if they are completely tied down it is not only hard on them, but on their marriage.

 There aren't any definite figures to write down for your budget plans, but you can count on paying from 10 to 25 per cent more than pre- war prices for the new electric refri- gerator. vacuumm cleaner, lawn mower. or washing machine. It Is reasoned that a 10 per cent price increase brings these items which haven't been made in wartime in line with conservative estimates of the general rise in living costs. It's likely that much will be added to the new products on sight, with more for special added costs which manufacturers can point to for nearly every item.
 COSTS ARE UP
 Piano-makers. for instance are showing that a certain important part costs them e5 per cent more. Radio-makers point to big prices and short supplies of wood for cab inents. (Plastics or aluminium may be the answer to that). Refrigera- tor and washing-machine makers contend. contrary to OPA figures. that labor costs will be 70 per cent higher than when they were last in civilian business.

Jumping shrews are confined to
Africa.s Our soldiers have had quite
a lot OF experience with them.
Unlike the tree shrews, the jump
ers restrict themselves to the
ground, on which they progress
rapidly by leaps. They are night
workers,
Their ears are large, their tail is
ratlike, and they have long noses
and plenty of whiskers. Their large
eyes are beautiful, they are tanned
quickly, and become not only IA
miliar but, the boys say, impudent.
There are several species OF this
genus, all found over large part
OF the African continent, their
range extending from the Cape to
Agiers; most of them resemble one
another so closely in size, form and
color that only mammalogist can
tell them apart.

The Rock jumping shrew is of
considered q very remarkable ami
NAL. There are four species from
Zanzibar and the adjoining re-
gions OF the East Coast of Africa.
His nose amounts to a veritable
trunk, and for this reason he has
been referred to as the elephant
shrew" His general color is rusty
brown with reddish spots on the
TANKS.
Since these strange animals have
not become pests, causing loss and
concern to the residents of their
special territory. little has been
written concerning their private
life.
These shrews must not be con-
fused with our American shrews,
which belong to another group en-
tirely--a nervous, active group, d.
gesting their food 50 rapidly that
they must work "a hours a day to
find enough to keep them alive. A
