How is your b.g.q. )beaeh
grooming quotient)?
When a woman discards her
glrdle and bra and her SHINING
black dresses for a beach ensem-
BILE, she can look like either a
dream or a droop.
Hours r spent selecting a
bathing suit, but too often the
choice is influenced by what a IA
vorite movie star is wearing or
what the salesgirl recommends or
by some fad that a only flatter
a model.
If you are buxom, don't attempt
to wear the midriff suits or the
bright shiny suits that your slim
sisters wear so gracefully. It is
embarrassing to see a woman
whose roll Of waistline fat dips
over to form a fleshy border for
her swim trunks. The midriff bra
often is just an excuse to COM
plete the rest Of the suit ensemble
and in nc wey serves to cover her
bosom completely.
It seems strange that women
who spend more money or their
girdles than they do or their
clothes will toss all attempt OF
ccncealment to the winds when
they 20 beachwise.

Beach Grooming Quiz

To add to the confusion are the
numbers of would e-glamor girls
who sprawl legs and arms AKIN
DO in u%nladylike fashion on pub
lie beaches. These same women
are unhappy if there is a stray
glance in the direction of their
calves when they are attired in
street clothes. But on the beach
they will spread themselves in
unglamorous poses, and as if a
bra wasn't little enough covering,
will unbutton .heir straps to ex-
pose even more.
Certainly to get a suntan On
the beach and to get a smooth,
even bronze, unmarked by straps,
a beach basker can remove her
straps from around her neck and
tie them securely in back.
The chubbiest girl can look
sweet and attractive on a beach
if she will take the trouble. Long
hair can be braided and tied on
top with colorful bows; toenails
can be pedicured to a brilliant
sheen and a colorful beach robe
can be worn to make up for the
dark plain swim suit which is the
most H~attering for the plump
figure.

much damage by eating leaves

The simplest method of foiling
these beetles is to protect the
plants from attack by using
c%hesecloth covers, as illustrat-

Graph. The bellies will go
through mosquito netting.
Cover each plant with a frame
made by placing the halves Of a

each frame with chesecloth, as

cloth must be hello down to the

also satisfactory, if care IS taken
that it comes in contract with the

tiality, and notify headquarters.
Fourteen fire control aides at
strategic points are set to hike
into the fire area on a moments
notice. Four packers with their
strings of sure-footed mules are
ready to move supplies over any
of the l, 100 miles of trails to a
base camp should more men be
necessary. Six forest service
smoke jumpers from Missoula are
available to jump to any other
wise inaccessible location.
Bad fires in the past h rave
taught many lessons. In 1929 a
man-caused fire started outside
the park and nearly destroyed
the magnificent stands of cedar
on the western slope.
In 1886 lightning struck at
Heavens Peak and fire smould-
cred for nearly a week in the
rocky crags before winds carried
it over the Continental Divide
and down into the Swiftcurrent
area.
The most recent big fire was
on Curly Bear Mountain in 1915
and 300 acres of forests were des-
troyed.
Humidity, time of s e SON,
wind, fuel moisture, visibility
and lightning occurrence combine
to make the fire danger. Worked
out on a scale of zero to 100, the
rangers can interpret these fact
ors to show just what to expect.
When the scales reach so con-
slant vigilance is required. When
it climbs to 70 all resources are
made ready. Nature controls the
fire danger. The fighters have
to put them out.

PARK TRAVEL RECORDS

Both Glacier and Yellowstone
parks this year are we'll on their
way to new records in travel pat
ronage. The percentage gains
over last year in Glacier Nation
al Park are greater than those of
Yellowstone and that can per-
haps be explained by the fact
that a greater portion of the trav-
cling public is just coming to
know and appreciate the special
attractions of this newer park.
Some few may have been influ-
enced toward Glacier also by
the fact that accommodations at
Yellowstone have been taxed be-
yond their capacity, while those
visiting Glacier have had less
difficulty in this respect.
Information service relating to
hotel and dude ranch accommo-
dations at the entrances and in
the vicinities of both parks was
well organized this year and this
has been of very substantial ass
istance in taking care of the tour
lists.
There is no question that the
natural attractions of these two
parks will continue to draw their
full share of newspaper interest.
And their increasing patronage
will doubtless continue in the
proportion to the. accommoda-
lions that are provided for the
travellers comfort and enjoy
ment.
The chief drawback in Glacier
this year was the condition of
the roads. The increased travel
record may help spur govern
mental action for their improve
ment. But unless they are i'm
proved Glaciers future travel
record is likely to suffer.-Great
