Joins Guerillas _ THE STRATFORD MIRROR Porton hana: TOP TO TOE FRAGRANCE Personal daintiness is one of the most important assets of any woman, and there is no excuse for careless- ness. Now that warm days are here, be sure to keep fresh and fragrant. To guard against unpleasant breath, use a mouth wash frequently. A simple and effective mouth wash can be made at home by adding a few drops of myrrh to half a glass of water. Clean your teeth regularly. Incidentally, you'll find dental floss most helpful. Is your hair clean and shining? It's simple enough if you give it a little attention. Shampoo frequently. Halo shampoo will solve this problem, but don't neglect to brush your hair vigor- ously and often. Massage the scalp occasionally with bay rum. Perspiration is one of the most con- stant of summer worries. Don't try to prevent perspiration, because this is a most essential bodily function, and you'll start all sorts of complica- tions if you stop it. You can, how- ever, prevent perspiration odor. Wash frequently with the lovely new palm- olive soap to ensure thorough cleans- ing, then dab some deodorant cream under your armpits. Keep the armpits free from hair, of course. If you have any difficulty in keep- ing your feet cool and dainty, rub them with vinegar, they spray them with talcum powder. Watch your clothes, especially un- derthings. Hang clothes on a hanger immediately you take them off, and put them in a draught to air. My Beauty booklet is full of helpful advice.

Last year Germany's air onslaught did not develop fully until the harvest was gathered in, but this year, com- bined with U-boat attacks on ship- ping, the menace to British food sup- plies is very real. Among the safeguards which may be enforced is the cutting of fire- breaks or lanes, about 30 feet wide, across the direction of the prevailing wind. The crops, cut green, would not be wasted, but made into hay or silage. Corn stooks can be protected by setting the rows as far apart as possible. Ricks would be set at least 15 yards apart, and, preferably out in the field, to prevent enemy landings. For dealing with outbreaks of fire, water carts would be kept filled near the standing crops, and further re- serves stored in ricks or van covers supported on stakes. Fire-fighters will arm themselves with stirrup pumps, fruit spraying machines, liquid manure carts, wet sacks and brooms cut from timber and hedgerows. Tractors will be use- ful for ploughing a firebreak quickly in the path of an advancing fire, and scythes for isolating small patches. With fire-watchers, A.R.P. wardens and Home Guards in every parish, there will be no lack of man-power to safeguard the vital harvest of 1941. Weekly News Budget From The Old Land Written Especially for The Mirror by Robert Williamson, 8 Duke Street, Adelphi, London, W. C. FIVE MILLION MOLES HELP BRITAIN'S WAR EFFORT £100,000 Collection of Furs for Canada Furs valued at £100,000 from many parts of the British Empire -- includ- ing moleskins from England and Scotland -- are on their way to Can- ada to help pay for the United King- dom's war supplies. All these beautiful models have been processed and made up in London, but the skins come from all over the world. There are Canadian sable, mink, ermine, beaver, squirrel and musquash, Persian lamb, Russian ermine, South American ocelot, neut- ria, civet cat, and various skins from Newfoundland. Britain's own contribution is mole- skin, a fur which sold better than any other in a recent Canadian sales drive. It is also becoming very fash- ionable in the United States. A mole-catching campaign in the English and Scottish shires has pro- duced something like 5,000,000 mole- skins, and when the season re-opens in December next, a fresh drive will be made. As most of Britain's pro- fessional mole-catchers have _ disap- peared, men are being trained speci- ally for this job. The average moleskin coat requires 400 skins, and no fewer than 3,000 nails are required to pin them out for treatment.
