YOU'LL NEED KNEE APPEAL

The new college girl style, knee-length skirts and long socks, calls for a new beauty routine- beautiiying the knees.

The job must be done if a girl

is to find the style becoming. Otherwise she'll bear a marked resemblance to her kid sister,

whose knobby knees have had hard wear during Summer months.

Of course, if a girl's legs are very thin and her knees knobby. she has no business fooling around with the style at, all. But if it is jitst a little attention that is need- ed - here is how go about beautifying the knees:

Use a good bletrhing lotion un-

til your knees are as white ls your hands. Plain lemon juice Wll] also do the bleaching trick, softening can be accomplished by rubbing nightly cream onto the knees at the same time it is put on the face.

The lotion you use on your i-innds is all right for knees. too. And it is probably the best way to keeping the knees lo:klng nice - orice they have been "recondition- ed ..

For knee-beautifying isn't. a thing the college girl can accomp- lish in a cottple of weeks and then forget. When the weather gets onld and blustrev she'll find her knces getting red and rough if she doesn't. keep up the gcod work.

It won't be mu~h of s job, though. if she will remember to rub lotion into her lmers whrncver she

RAAIL EARNINGS INCREASE .

Industry has ups and d

UITAWA, Feb. l0 —(C1P) —At a score of points in Ontario and Que- bec furmers are talking about flax and getting readyto supply the linen and other flax fibre mills of Great Britain and Northern Ireland with raw matetflal which (omlcrly came from Europe.

While some 20,000 acres were planted to fibre flax i.n Canada in 19-h the prospects, according to ex- perts of the agriculture department age for more than 40.000 acres in

41.

Flax production in Canada ‘has its up; and downs, largely due to war but now has entered a new phase under governmental control and direction. In the last War for the same reasons as now apply it went up by leaps and bounds. Prfc rose to fantastic levels and farmers and mill-operators made money. After" the war, however, the indus- try collapsed as European product- ion came back.

From a. peak total acreage of 32,- 000 in 1921 Canadian fibre flax growing dropped to 1,530 acres. In recent years, however, a slow re- vival took place and by 1936 the acreage was 6,242. In 1929 it had risen close to the 10.000 acre figure and this made possible a wartime jump to 20,000 acres in 194i.

Two Way Benefll

In two ways Canada a‘ds the lin- en industry of the United Kingdom to make up the shortage of flax fibre rzsult-ilic from the los< of European supplies. One is 13y 01°- ditcing iibri- f0" export. and the other by producing seed with which to plant increased acreage. Fibre flax production in Canada has al- ways been a dual operation involv- iiie. bot-h stccd and fibre production ivlrereas 111 Notherri Ireland little attention is paid to seed production.

Production for seed o" flbrs by itself would not be economical in

overseas look to make for boom in Canada- , i

owns but war conditions

be sold. From the 1040 crop it is expected Canath. will ship about 4,000 inns of flbfg and 45,300 bush- els of seed overseas.

In the United Kngdom only 20.- 000 ate es of fibre flax were Brown in 1938 but to mcet wartime de- mand this was stepped up to 45.- 030 in Northern Ireland and 16.000 in Britain last. Year. Plans call 101' 100,000 acres in Northern Leland and 35,000 in Britain Ln 1941.

Sir Basil Brooke, mnister of I81’!- culture in Northem Ireland, recent- lv said ii every iazmer doubled his 1940 flax acreage the country would still be short of fibre.

Under arrangements established earlv in the war, all seed for fibre flax produced in Canada is controll- ed by the Agricultural Supplies Board which has a cont act with the government of Northern Ireland for the sale of Canadian seed at a top price of $6 a bushel for No. 1 certified seed.

This compares with the peak price $12.50 a bushel during the flax boom of the first Great. War.

Price Conlmol

tablished by the British Ebro Con- trol Board which has a representa- tive in Canada. TOp price is about 35 cents a pound compared with the w price of $1.00 a pound reach-

While experiments carried out by the Dominion experimental farms have shown the crmati- in the coastal region of British Columbia and in the maritime provinces is siritable for fibre flax production so far developments have centered Lri Ontario and Quebec.
