Consider your whole body and your, clothes, ah well as your face and fig- ure, when you plan a winter beauty routine. Woollen frocks and steam heated ropms cause quite a lot of ex- cess perspiration and you should bear that in mind constantly. Allow enough time for a daily bath, of course, and plan to use a good deodorant under your arms at least twice a week, Woollen clothes need to be dry- cleaned, frequently, and they should be aired thoroughly several times be- tween cleanings. Hang them in the sun, wrong side put, and leave them for a few hours. Be sure that each dress has shields in it. This is important no matter how persistently you use deodorants. Remember to clean the shields each. time you clean the dress, and it's not a bad idea to clean shields oftener than that. • Dip them in a little house- hold ammonia and hang them in the sun to dry,. Fur collars need attention, Um. You can't keep yotir neck clean if you wear the same fur collar all winter without cleaning it at least once every two weeks.. A rough bath towel and a bit of cleaniug fluid will clean any fur collar and won't hurt the fur a bit. Neck scarfs, either wool or silk ones, should be washed or dry clean- ed often. In other words, be just as fastidious about your outer garments as you are about the lingerie which you wear next to, your skin. To Preserve Hose . Always wash new stockings before wearing them. The heat of the foot acting upon the unwashed silk may cause it to ladder at once. This first washing strengthens the stockings areatly. 1"Wo Well -Balanced Interesting Menus Nowadays our menus reveal a ten, ilency to drift away from the old-fas- hioned heavy meals with their hearty meats and rich desserts. Our menus are made with attention to a balanced diet and our choice of foods is not limited to season. The following dinner menus are balanced: Peel small onions, prick with titles of fork at top and bottom, parboil un- til nearly done. Drain, place in frying pan, clot and sprinkle with equal mea sures of butter and sugar. •Cook slow- ly, turning the onions often until each one is carmelized. Hot,Potato Salad To inake hot potato salad you will want some inedium-size 'potatoes, which should be boiled in their' skins in the ordinary way. When cooked, peel and let them get cool; then, with a sharp knife, cut them in thin and even slices. This salad is served in the dish in which. It is cooked. Brush the bottom slightly with salad oil before putting in the potatoes; chop very finely some parsley, chives, or the green part of some spring onions; . sprinkle them with seasoning and a pinch of sugar over the potatoes. Mix -some best salad oil with Tara- gon and wine vinegar; heat it, and when almost at boiling point, pour it over the potatoes. Cover the dish with a greased paper and put it in a moderate oven until the potatoes are really hot. • Should you make this salad in the winter, chopped celery in place of the onion is a delightful flearor. The amount of oil and so on you will need depends upon how many pota- toes you have. The vinegar is used in equal proportions of both kinds. A Heart Dinner What can we have for dinner that is nourishing, appetiziug, and won't necessitate any left -overs? This is a question that often arises. A stuffed heart is the answer. Wash the heart in warm salted water, then gently boil for one hour. Make a forcemeat with four table- alioons breadcrumhs, two tablespoons shredded suet, a dessertspoon mixed herbs, a small chopped onion, salt and Pepper. Bind together with a beaten egg. Stuff the heart with the forcemeat, stitch the opening, and rub over, with seasoned ilour.

Threadis of green and red sweet peppers add color if scat- tered through the mould. Fresh or canned peaches are used for the dessert. Menu No. 2 Stewed chicken in rice border, creamed onions, tomato and lettuce salad, mint ice ,cream with chocolate eauee, crisp cookies, milk, coffee. .

Polite Robbers Modest Package Worth $500,000 Enjoy Breakfast Tie Up Callers and Regale Themselves with Coffee New York.—This is a tale of , a strange "bandit" breakfast party which lasted an hour and a half. Three polite bandits had just tied the last knots in the twine which firmly bound Mrs. Ramona Santos, her 22 -year-old daughter, and four men, friends of the family, in Mrs, Santos' apartment in this city, when someone knocked at the door. Hastily docketing the $200 in cash and the wrist watch they had taken from the group, one of the rob- bers opened the door and thrust his revolver under the nose of a laundry man. The latter dropped his bundle of clean wash and submitted while the bandits tied his arms and legs gently but firmly. They had just .deposited him with the six other victims when there came another knock at the 'door. Happily the men. welcomed as groper, tied him up, too, and unwrapped the comestibles he had brought. "Ha, coffee," said one of the Men, sniffing joyfully as he seized a perco- lator and made for the stove. There was another knock. This time it was a fruit vendor, ad he took his place, bound, with other members of the un- comfortable group in the corner. Some oranges and grapefruit he had brought were peeled and sliced. The coffee was poured, steaming, into three dups. The radio was turned on. Breakfaist was ready. Whi.le the men were chatting pleas- antly over their coffee and cigarettes, Miss. Santos managed to inform them that the -wrist watch they had taken was a gift from her dead father. It was returned, with apologies. Then, wiping the fruit juice from their An- gers and the coffee from their lips, the bandits bade their victims adieu and departed. Several minutes later Mrs. Sautes wriggled frc and sounded an alarm.

Museum recently repre- sented a JAW million dollar pur- chase by the British Government of the Codex Sinaiticus, fourth -century Bible manuscript. Bibliophiles say that in getting the manuscript from the Soviet Govern- ment for $500,000 the British Govern- ment got a bargain. Not only that, but Russia has agreed. to spend .he purchase price in. England for ma- chinery and. the like. Originally the Soviet asked a 'total of $2,500,000 for the Codex, called the most valuable manuscript in .the world's history. Arrived Christmas Conveyed. to England by special coiiriek, Who arrived Christmas Eve, ths manuscript remained in the strong vaults over the holidays and after aaformal-receipt was given the Soviet representatives the British intermedi- ary, a noted book dealer, guarded by detectives, took the parcel by car to the Museum where a queue of eer- eral hundred awaited its arrival. The crowd was allowed to enter the board room and witness the presen- tation to Sir George Hill, director of the British Museum. Unwrapped, the parcel was revealed In a tin box of red and gold, the manuscript itself being carefully shrouded in cotton wool. Dr. Bell, keeper of manu- scripts, later made an inspection to see that none of the pages were missing, Placed on View The Codex was then pieced on gen- eral vjew in a .special case in the en- trance hall, which already contained the 14th century copy of the Penta- teuch in Hebrew. as the British Museum went into the deal with the British Govern- ment on a 50-50 basis, it has to raise 3250,000 by public subscription, The subscriptions are already flocking in. One old lady in Scotland sent a half - a -Crown, 60 cents, which she said hoped would pay for a single letter in the Codex. The Codex, .discovered in the mid- dle of the 19th century on Mount Sinai, came into possession of the Soviet authorities from the relics of Tear Alexandet.

She left gold; and the reaction echoed round the Seven Seas. At Ottawa, she con- cluded trade agreements with other nations of the British Commonwealth. With foreign countries, she made agreements in endeavor to break through the bounds of rigid economic nationalisms. She has embarked on a five-year slum clearance plan. By .schemes of marketing and control she is endeavoring to restore her agri- culture to a paying basis. INDUSTRY RECOYERING. Her credit is now restored, month SHIPPING IN DIFFICIJLTIES. For the first ten months of the yeas the net tonnage of British ships ese tering at and clearing from United Kingdom ports with cargo, compared with 1931, has been reduced by moil than 6;000;000 tons. The tonnage od foreign vessels entering at and clear' ing from British ports on the othei hand has gone up by over 3,700,006' tons. Compared with the same period last year the figures are: British shipping down 1,460,000 tons; foreign shipping up 2,290,000 tons.

Poison Antidote Given By Blowgun Warrior Windhoek, Namaqualand. — The secret of the poison antitdote of African bushmen is expected to be learned as a result of the wounding of a policeman's horse. Bushmen blew poisoned arrows at police who tried to arrest them for stealing cattle near Epultiro. The wounded horse was saved by the an- tidote taken from a captured bush- man. A magistrate of Gobabis was woun- ded some time ago by one of these arrows and (lied in agony because no antidote was available. "Pa, what is a bookworm?" "A man who loves books, my son."

Her brain capacity was 1,430 cubic centimetres as against 1,300 :for' the average young woman of today and 1,450 for the modern man, and though only 20 years old she stood nearly six feet tall, better than the average for modern girls of the same age. Study of this and other skeletons of the old stone age shows that new measurements of the many bones of ancient man now in museums may greatly clarify the mystery of the origin of the present human race said Prof. Gerhardt von Bonin of the Uni- versity of llinois. Out of the old stone age, presumably, came the modern human race.
