ALICIA HART

by ALlClA HAKI
For a prettier skin and more
sparkling eyes, drink water.
Eyes will shine their thanks.
A dry OF an oily skin will reward
you by taking a move out Of it's
category to one that's more nearly
normal.
The fountain of eternal youth
for which Ponce de Leon searched
and never found could yield no
elixir for preserving the lasting
freshness of your skin like that
from your own Wate- tap.
The amount of water? Glass
after glass. AS a reminder to
drink eight - a generally pre-
scribed quota-keep that quantity
near you in a carafe or thermos
bottle.
That's suggested because you
are apt to become busy, and neg
lect your tipping. You won't, if
you'll fill your water bottle and
set it in front Of you on your
desk, kitchen table or sewing ma
chine.

| visitors would do we'll to "clinch
their reservations before heading
South" Hotel rooms were reported
last month as being available
through April. While st. Petersburg
was speaking for itself, much of its
advice to prospective visitors still
stands for Florida as a whole.
The city's summary of the situa-
ton was along these lines:
Hotel rooms-A wider range of
accommodations will be found before
and after the peak months of Janu-
ary, February and March.
Houses and apartments Very
scarce. On the spot inspection offers
about the only chance of obtaining
this type of living facility.
Beach cottages and cabanas-
Also scarce. but with greater tenant
tourover than houses and apart
ments. Again, it's question of
looking around after arrival.
Motor and trailer colonies-The
demand for space will be heavy as
cold weather up North strengthens.
Late arrivals may face considerable
shopping around.
Rooms in private homes-Best bet
when the situation gets tough.
Spare bedrooms are often open to
visitors when other facilities are
lacking Lists of available rooms
may be found at Chambers of Com
merce or special Offices set up for
housing visitors.
However the States final picture
shapes up, it now appears that visits
to Florida's more popular areas can
best be assured by the staggered"
plan that salvaged vacations for
hundreds of thousands of pleasure
travellers last summer. OffSeaSon
vacations, early or late.
There is the possibility, however,
that hotels may discover the extent
to which the public is practicing
multiple bookings. There are ways
of shaking out the insincere reserva-
tions, and thus open. up rooms to
who now appear to be
too late to apply.

tions into the souvenir booklets,

In addition to presenting all sec
tionS of the United States, the pages

Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta,
British Columbia and the Olympic
Peninsula being represented. With
more than 100000 words, the high
lights will be supplemented by 225

j. L. Williams, traffic manager
for the Greyhound Corp, explains
that the booklets will be made up
individually from loose-leaf pages
like this:
"A passenger going on a trip or
tour will call on the Greyhound
agent for his ticket. AS a part of
preparing the ticket, the agent will
select appropriate pages, fasten
them into cover and present it.
The purpose of Highway High
Lights is to give Greyhound pas
sengers the history and drama of
the things they see along the coun-
tryS highways"

The peak OF the winter season Is
almost three months away, but
planning for accommodations in
Florida already has become a mat
ter of the moment. In fact, it prob
ably would have been better to have
thought of it weeks ago. Apparently
thousands of others have, for travel
agencies here are relaying word to
their current customers that choice
spots on that sun-tanned finger Of
land are booked up for the height
of-the-season months of January
and February.
1t may be that Florida has begun
to suffer from duplicate reservations
Such phantom bookings haunted last
summers resort scenes, and scared
away many an earnest applicant for
space. Theoretically, the hotels were
filled and subsequent vacationists
were turned down. But the ghost
guest, with reservations at more
than one place, would melt away by
the simple process of showing up at
only one hotel-the other one.
Travel agencies don't know to
what extent this practice is being
pursued for the coming winter sea-
son. The hotels themselves wish they
knew. Meantime, it is solving no
problems for those now seeking
reservations early in 1947. Real or
fancied, the reports are coming
through: Booked up for January and
February. Accommodations available
in November, December and March. >

three top spades, three top hearts
and the ace of clubs. If either major
suit broke 3-3 he would see an llth
trick, or if he could drop the jack
of spades on the second or third
lead of that suit. If hearts also
broke that way the contract was
made Such a distribution did not
seem possible in view of the pat
tern of the hands. He first tried
the spades and the jack fell on the
second lead and he could then see
light. If the king of clubs were
held by the defender having four
hearts, there was opportunity for
a squeeze. After cashing three
hearts and two more spades South
returned to his hand with the ace
of clubs and ran three diamonds
