Packs Danish
Summer Tans
By DONNA GRACE

AFTER THE first break OF
the summer heat, girls will want
TO Danish that outdoors, country
complexion and again recapture
the sophisticated dress-up look.
Packs and the softening effect
OF creams do really remove the
outer, .chiffon-hke cuticle. This
is just bit of protection nature
has afforded as an amor
against the sun rays and. when
il has fiuffed away. the natural
layer OF healthy skin remains.
Soap and water is just q part
of the facials and equally rs i'm
portant as the creams; both are
effective. While il takes only a
short time TO make the change,
one should count on about two
weeks for best results.
Never pull or force the re-
moval of dry skin. 1t is hardly
ever perceptible; but, should
scales appear, just treat them
with soap and water. rinsing and
then massaging with cream.
Even after the normal COM
plexion has been restored, we
believe girls will continue with
their dusky makeup for some
time. We like it better each
year we wear il and. for nearly
every one. ii is more fiattering
than the pink and white tones.

Sleep

Necessary
By HELEN FoLLETT

WOMEN WHO rob them
selves of sleep, who stay out
late or prowl around the house
at all hours OF the night, won't
get q mite OF sympathy from
this doctor Of pulchritude when
they bawi about their good looks
griefs. Unless the body receives
sufficient rest. during which
time nature makes repairs and
sends the nervous system OF
duty, the skin will wrinkle early
and lose coloring. eyes will lack
hster, the youthful lines Of the
anatomy will disappear.
The human engine can stand
80 much strain and no more.
II you are up at z. YOU should
be in bed by IL. 10 o'clock Is
even better.
Working G;rh
Some OF them are irritable,
think IL is because the cruel
hand OF fate has been raised
against them. when that is not
the cause of their i'll nature.
Theyfe-Nred. Tired all the time.
Fatigue interferes with well
being. Digestive motors slow
up, so does circulation.
Young women who work all
day in shop office or factory,
dance half the night, report for
work NJ the usual hour with lag
ging steps are doing themselves
an Injustice. OF course. they
should have fun. Recreation is
necessary to al OF Us. But let
them have their fling on Satur-
day nights when they can sleep
late next morning.
Too Tired
Lying quietly in bed, nicely
relaxed, mind ut rest, waiting
for the sandman to close your
eyelids Ia very pleasant The
moments between wakefulnexs
and sleep-that delightful
drowyy feeling-should be mo-
ments Of enjoyment.
Why postpone falling In be-
tween the sheets until you're so
tired your muscles and nerves
are tied into knots and you
can't relax! There's such a thing
as being so tired one can't sleep.
Stop activities before you get to
that point, lady. II you would

presumably gone through their
most severe wartime strain. Where
business rents are on a percentage
basis, the rent total is increasing,
an indication of the bettered con-
dition for retail merchandising
Somewhat higher business rents are
anticipated in 20 per cent of the
reporting cities, and only per cent
look to further wartime decline
in use, of business properties and in
business rents.
U. S. Offices Factor.
Office building space In those
cities where the Federal Govern
ment is a. renter is expected to be
affected when and if Government
occupancy ceases. If occupancy
continues as it now is, office prices
will go up. But for the remainder
of the year no further change is
expected in 81 per cent of the cities.
War industry areas now begin to
be less stable than the national
average. In some activity is in
creasing; in others it is decreasing.
Shortage of retail business space
is reported in II per cent of war
areas. ONCE space is reported short
in Is per cent of the war industry
areas.
Inability to proceed with improve
ments is retarding sales of business
property. Operating costs in Office
property are a serious wartime
problem.
More and more money is avail
able for the financing of real estate
investment. This, combined with
wartime structures against civilian
construction and the consequent
scarcity of desirable moderately
priced residences, is a sustaining
force to the real estate market ex-
pected to continue. Capital is ac-
lively seeking real estate mortgage
loans in "a per cent of the cities.
Interest Rates Hold.
Mortgage interest rates hold as
they were year ago in IS per cent

elsewhere a s per cent rate is COM
moner than an under-5 per cent
rate. Regional variations persist.
The S per cent rate is by far the
commonest in New England and in
the Central Atlantic States and the
Great Lakes States. 1t is the COM
monest rate in the North Central
States and in the Northwest States.
But in the Southeast States the 6

Steady Realty Market Advance
Expected to Continue This Year

Editors note: This Is the
last OF four reports OF the real
estate market made by the Ma
ttonnl Association OF Real Estate
Boards
There is every indication that the
national real estate market will
maintain very much the same steady
advance this year as 1t has for the
past decade, according to the 42d
semi-annual survey released today
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards.
Reversing the experience of World
War I, when it ran the gamut Of ups
and downs, the present wartime
market has shown no spectacular
movement in any direction, and
from local real estate boards reports
In 376 cities it is fairly certain that
there will be no radical market
changes.
Representing the carefully checked
data and opinion of realtors in those
cities, the survey is the second one
completed during the war. This is
the 2Ist year it has been made, dur
ing which time it has become the
recognized factual index of the
realty market.
Steady Demand Expected.
Continuation of the current strong
demand for all types of property is
expected in "a per cent of the re-
porting cities. Increased demand is
expected in SO per cent of them and
a growing scarcity of property is the
most generally reported deterrent to
sales.
Residential prices are expected to
stiffen further in rs per cent of the
cities and maintain the present level
In 98 per cent.
Prices for downtown business
property and volume of sales are
expected to increase as we get nearer
to the resumption of some civilian
production. A price rise is expected
this year in 36 per cent of the re-
porting communities and 96 per cent
of them feel that at least the pres
ent level will be held.
Purchase of vacant lots for home
sites is expected to revive as we get
nearer to the possibility of civilian
home building. Greater purchasing
volume is expected in the remainder
of this year in 38 per cent of the
cities.
Many Areas Lack Plans.
In only "a per cent of the report
ing cities are plans as yet being
made for new home areas. In war
industry areas, however, where war
housing is still under way, SO per
cent have such plans.
Rents for business property have

of the cities, but 33 per cent report
falling rates and only per cent
show tendency to rise. The fall
ing rates are reported in AZ per
cent of the Central Atlantic cities
40 per cent of the Great Lakes cities
and 40 per cent of the South
Central cities. Significantly, inter-
est rates are dropping in As per
cent of the reporting cities of over
100000 population.
Commonest rate for first mort
cages on moderately priced homes
is per cent. 1t is the No. rate
in SO per cent of the cities. The
larger the city, the lower the aver
age prevailing interest rate. In the
very largest cities the Az per cent
rate is definitely commonest. But
