Cable viii Connect Cincinnati
and Detroit for Radio and

An underground cable to carry
radio and television programs
between Toledo and Cincinnati will
pass within one mile of downtown
Biufton, according to plans disclosed
last week when the A. T. and T.
began negotiating with farmers
north and west of town for right-of-
way privileges.
Installation of the coaxial cable
however, is believed to be at least a
year away, altho no dates have been
announced.
Connecting Detroit and Cincinnati
the cable misses towns, but in gener,
al will follow a route paralleling the
Dixie highway. Its nearest approach

COAL RATIONED AS
DEALERS HERE ACT
TO SPREAD SUPPLY
Meagre Reserves In BlufftOn
Coal Yards AS Coal Miners
Begin Strike
Voluntary Rationing Imposed
By Dealers To Assure Fuel
For Those In Need

Dealer rationing of coal was put
into effect here the first of this
week, with deliveries restricted to
householders in pressing need of
fuel, in an effort to conserve meagre
stock piles in Bluffton coal yards.
AS the coal mine strike continued
to spread, the outlook was dark so
far as local deliveries, were concern
ed, for miners walked off the job
at a time when local coal yard sup
plies were at one of the seasons
lowest points.
In addition to imposing the
voluntary rationing program, Bluff
ton dealers said those in need of
fuel would have to take what was
available, and there would be no
choice other than what is on hand.
Altho coal yards are without suf-
ficient reserves, the situation is not
expected to reach serious proportions
unless unusually cold weather con-
tinues through March and the early
part Of April.
For the most part, it is believed
local householders have fairly ample
supplies in their bins, and many will
have sufficient coal to finish out the
season.
Commercial users, such as the
municipal light and power plant and
the Central Ohio Light and Power
Co. normally build up coal reserves
in advance, and full-effect of a shut
down in coal supplies from mines
will not be felt for some time.

The most thrilling aftergw OF
Christmas is a dressing table hin
ing with beautiful new bottls of
perfume. Perhaps only a fev are
truly great perfumes, and wen
they can be "mistreated" ifnot
worn properly.
A recent survey of the perame
habits Of American women recalls
that practically the whole ofour
feminine population is totallyln-
aware of the subtle art of using ter-
fume effectively and economicak.
Quickly to the rescue comes fws
from O famous perfume hous Of
Paris and New York, with a re-
fresher course" on how to use er-
fume to the best advantage, bth
for yourself and your "pulc."
Teenas should pay special attenon
to the following information + it

use and enjoy their gifts Of fra
grance:
l. Perfume should be thought OF,
and consciously, as a definite ex-
preston of the individual person.
ality, as distinctive and effortlessly
appealing as your smile. If you pre-
fer to be a "one fragrance person.
atty" exchange all your gift bottles
for that one fragrance, in perfume
and toilet water. If, on the other
hand, you love a change of mood
and revel in quicksilver surprises,
analyze the emotional effect of each
of your perfume wardrobe" and
plan exactly how you will use each
one.
z. Most women take great pains
deciding just what dress to wear,
placing jewelry just so, perfecting
coiffure and makeup, and then spend
only q second dabbing on perfume
before dashing out the door. Don't
merely put a touch behind your
ears. The experts say women
rarely wear enough perfume, but
use up their supply in dribs and
drabs without any real effect
3. Heat intensifies the scent of
perfume, so use more on furs or
outdoor coats than you do on
dresses. Wear more perfume in the
winter than in the summer.
4. Concealed fragrance which
emerges Unexpectedly gives fas-
cinating variety to your aura OF
fragrance. Perfume the lining Of
your handbag as we'll as your hand
kerchief. Spray the lining of your
coat, or keep coats on perfumed
hangers, so the scent becomes i'm
pregnated in the lining. The scent
that whispers through the air when
you open your evening bag will be
as seductive as your new plunging
neckline.
5. A clever use Of a great fra
grance-and an economical use, too
is to saturate a tiny ball Of cotton
with perfume and sew it in a square
of chiffon or ribbon to tuck inside
your bra or the top of your stock
ing, where the heat of your skin
sends the fragrance out as you move.
6. Never throw a perfume bottle
away after you have used the last
full drop. With the stopper out,
there is still enough liquid inside to
scent a drawer for a week or two.
7. Invest in atomizers for your
toilet water. Spraying actually uses
less of the liquid than dousing and
distributes it evenly and effectively.
Use the great" perfume on your
skin, where the heat Of your blood
will intensity it-on your wrists,
your throat, your bosom. Thus 1t
will be a perfect accent OF the fra
GRANGE of the toilet water you have
already sprayed on your body and
clothes.
8. For evenings when you want to
be truly memorable, perfume the
palms of your hands. The faint de-
lightful echo of your perfume per-
Isonality will cling to the hand of
those you greet.
8. Garry purser Of your perfume
in your bag along with your conf
pact and lipstick. Thus, when you
review your makeup you can re-
new your charm.
10. Last, remember the difference
between perfume, toilet water and
cologne, and use each correctly.
The survey reports that few women
do know the difference.

Jeeps Moking Bid
For PIoyoff Spot

Coach julie Rivlin and his To
ledo Jeeps of the National Bas-
ketball League have a little
more than a sneaking idea that
they may catch hold as the sea-
son passes the halfway mark. A
string of four straight wins
would put the Jeeps in great
shape for the final dash as they
battle it out for a playoff spot in
the eastern division of their
circuit.
There will be some old scores
to settle in the games rolling up
Sheboygan, for example, has
dumped the Jeeps on three diff
ferent occasions, handing them
their first defeat of the season
and continuing the mastery in
two other meetings, one ar
overtime fray. Indianapolis has
beaten the Jeeps in the three
times the clubs have met thus
far.
While the Jeeps have had
some ups and downs along the
trail thus far, Hal Tidrick, the
flashy forward, is continuing tc
give National League rivals
more than the usual assortment
of headaches as he bids foI
league scoring honors. Having
played in all his teams games
Tidrick showed a total of ar
even 800 points for the first %
encounters or an average of 1876
points per contest.
With George Sobek, Tidrick's
running mate now back in the
lineup after a bout with ap.
pendicitis, the Jeeps figure to
make things hum in the latter
stages of the league race.
