SKIN CARPI FOR BLONDES !
It is said that everything has its
•drawbacks, and certainly blondes are
no exception to this rule! They rare-
ly suffer from blackheads or mast -
nese but, with their finely -textured,
sensitive skins, have to overcome
dryness—with the menace of evrhn-
kles always hovering ahead!
However, a few minutes skin care
morning and night, if parried out
regularly, will eateguard the blonde's
fresh beauty. • '
Night-time Routine: Thoroughly
cleanse the skin, This is of vital imp-
ortance. First wash with gentle palm
olive soap, which not only cleanses
but helps to youthify the skin. Next
cleanse with penetrating Three -Pur-
pose cream. Remove the cream with
a warm clamp .cloth: Then wring out
a pad of cottonwool in cold water (it
possible, saturate it with a toning lo-
tion), and gently smooth over the
skin until n trace of cream remains.
Follow this up by massaging the skin
with the same cream, using upward
and outward movements: This done,
remove the surplus with a cold damp
cloth, and leave on e thin film • of
cream over -night.
Morning Routine: Wash off the
over -night cream, then carry out the
new "six minute make-up" method
with Three -Purpose cream, and pow -

The front on which the 'United 'Na-
tions aro facing the plain Axis forces,
on the line which stretches for 8,000
miles from the Arctic to the Nile, is
closely linked strategically, . and its
flanks are of particular importance.
The points of • entry for Allied sup-
plies for Russia are behind these two
flanks, through Murmansk and
through Iran ins the South,
The southern supply route, from
the Persian. Gulf and India, was se-
cured last year by British action in
Syria and Iraq, and by Russian -Brit-
ish action in Iran.
Road and rail communications from
the Persian Gulf and India to Russia
have since been improved and de-
veloped by Allied engineers,
New Command Formed
Russian armies defending the Cau-
casus will become increasiugly de-
pendent on supplies from this direc-
tion. The Caucasus, Iran and Iraq
consequently are atilt further bound
together as one strategic unit: Win-
ston Churchill's visit to Premier Jos-
eph Stalin must have been largely
concerned with this problem of sup-
ply and support. for the Russian
•armies.
In the course of his long journey,
Mr. Churchill transacted important
business in Moscow, Tehran and
Cairo, and on his return to London
canis the announcement that a new
Iraqi -Iranian cmomand had been
formed, with General Sir Henry
Maitland Wilson in charge of it.
The new command is a strategical
preparation against the threat to the
Caucasus. It is probable that the
troops are based on Mosul, Kirkuk
and Kermanshah.
Egypt and Syria are separated from
Iraq by a great sandy desert , and
Iran is divided from India by the
mountains of Afghanistan and Balu-
chistan. These topographical features
are an obstacle to the easy move -

Stalingrad is a definite objective

Fighting with River at Their Backs
The main railroad to the North is
cut, and—unlike Moscow—there are
no rear communications by which
fresh troops can be brought up.
The ,Germans are going all out in
their attempt to overwhelm the great
Volga city, and if they fail it will be
solely due to the Russians' brave
stand, and because Hitler's commun-
ications are stretched too far. It is
because of this problem of supply,
not only for immediate needs but for
the greater' needs of approaching
winter, that they are pressing tow-
ards the Black Sea with the object of
'seizing the whole railroad line from
Novorossisk to Stalingrad, and at-

Power Restrictions
Are Announced
Sharp restrictions on the use of
electricity in southern Ontario and
Quebec were ordered by Munitions
Minister Howe in a move to conserve
power supplies for war industries.
Advertising signs have been shut
of, street lighting curtailed and re-
strictions pls;!ced on the floodlights of
outdoor ice rinks.
In aunouiicing the restrictions Mr.
Howe called on domestic consumers
to take steps to cut their use of elec-
tricity by 20 per cent.
The minister's announcement made
it plain that curtailment under the
order and voluntary reduction by
householders would not lie sufficient
to meet a shortage of 400,000 horse-
power in the two provinces.
In the affected area the power
shortage has become so acute that
unless 'there is public co-operation to
reduce the consumption, there will
not be enough power available for
war industries, Mr. Howe said. Ex-
pansion of war plants will bring new
demands on power plants which are
already operating at capacity.
Electric signs, interior and exter-
ior ornamental lighting and highway
lighting falls under the• ban. The
amount of light permissible inside
and outside theatres and concert halls
is definitely specified and restricted
to what is considered necessary for
nubile safety.
Street lighting, except in areas lit
