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 - AUCTIONEER Is. W.

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.

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.
