You will see wome min this day of shoe -rationing peeling rubbers or galoshes off of their suede nifties, bad practice which calls for a worning.
 That one is: don't do it. Switch to other footwear when it rain sor SnowS; to feathers that react less temperamentally in their reaction to overshoes. Suede protests over shoes by mating or streaking.
 Best care of suede shoes is given with a bristled bruSh-and used after every wearing to rid surfaces of embedded dirt. If they're spotted or are streaked by shine, use clean ing fluid on them-and one prefer ably with petroleum base, says one shoe-repair expert.

RELAXATION Is VITAL

No blanket rule for recreation can be made. What is play to one person may be chore to another. If you are an indoor worker, out door recreation may be your need. Shoveling snow in winter, or gardening in summer are health full occupations. For the person who leads an active life, sitting down at the moving picture thea ter or at a concert may provide the change desired. The important thing in recreation is that the oc- cupation be new, or that it ex- ercises different set of muscles than those used in work.
 Every person needs some daily activity in the open air and sum shine, to speed up the circulation and stimulate body processes. Even q brisk walk will do wonders in clearing the mind of worry and giving one courage to go on with

BY the Spectator
Trade Marx Registered o 3. Patent ofnce

Bob La Verne wouldn't talk!
However, Bob and the Spectator
parted on excellent speaking terms
because we just couldn't think Of
asking Bob to break vow.
II You see Bob does some pretty
battling things in his magic act
at the Trade Winds this week, SO
when we settled down to have a bite
Of supper with him we decided it
would be good time to put away
a few parlor tricks along with our
chow mein. Not that Bob's tricks
are all that simple, but by starting
with the easy ones we felt sure by
the time dessert arrived we would
at least know how to get those
magic rings apart.
/ No such luck. 1t seems the ASM
/ (American Society of Magicians) is
sort of magician's OPA. Members
take VOW never to disclose trick.
Each magician pays yearly dues;
monthly meetings are held at the
Belmont Plaza in New York and
membership entities them to sub
cribe to three secret magic mag
azines that are published once a
month to keep the boys informed
about what's new in magic. i.
Whenever I get tired of pulling
the rabbit out of the hat or in gen.
eral feel in the mood for a new
trick all ! have to do is look through
Spinx, Genii or Tops (the three
most famous magic magazines in
the world. I can tear out an order
blank and send for some new me-
chanical equipment" La Verne said,
'just the way anybody else orders
more vitamin pills"
Not just every Tom, Dick and
Harry attend the society's meet
ings. You have to be a Black
stone, Cardini or at least John
Jones amateur to belong.
And If you don't think 1,500
magicians have fun when they get
together" Bob said, you ought to
join and find out"
La Verne, who performed all over
Europe, Asia and South America,
was an electrician in the infantry
during the First World War.
I'm my spare time I took up
match tricks" he said, "in order to
entertain the boys in the 'front.'
line trenches"
After the armistice, Bob said he
kept on practicing and it wasn't
long before he was saving women
in half. All of which gives you one
more good excuse for Junior when
he wants to play with matches.
It's all right. There's no necessity
to visit phychiatrist. What you
/ thought you saw in the Embassy
/ Room wearing a checked red and
green shirt, 10-gallon hat and high
boots was not an apparition, it was
Roy Shafer, rough-riding, rip-snort-
ing COW puncher from Oregon.
Last summer Supreme Court
Justice William Douglas made trip
to Oregon and met Roy. The JUS
tice and the ranchman swapped a
couple of good stories and in parting
Justice Douglas said, IF you ever
come East, Roy, look me up"
1 A few days ago an excited Wash
ington cab driver phoned the JUS
tice's Office.
4 "I have a man in my cab who
insists he wants to see viii Doug
las" but I think he's just plain
crazy. You should see the way he's
/ dressed"
Find out his name the justice
said.
And that's how Roy Shafer ended
up in the Embassy Room. Arthur
Douglas, brother of the justice and
executive vice president and treas
urer of Hotels Statler Co., was guest
/ of honor at a press party at the
Statler.

of permitting only regularly sche-

he could not approve the non
