Few gloves—not even | the thickly fur-lined ones—can keep your hands from chapping after that kind of treatment. The minute you peel off your gloves when you come in from a} |long siege in the cold, wash your | hands in soap and water, dry them thoroughly and massage them with latter is usually cheaper than cold | cream. So it might be a good idea to keep a little jar around.) Handy Hints Other tips for the well-kept mani- cure: | Even if you like your nails to ap- pear long don't bring the polish | quite to the tips. Leave a hair line ; around them. Then the polish won't | be so apt to nick. | If your skin is especially rough or discolored around the nail, gently rub away the spot with a little| pumice or cuticile remover. | The newest trend in polish shades | is toward the orchid and fuchsia ! tones—more likely to flatter than| the yellow-reds when you're under | artificial light.

The upswing took place m‘ 1936, the last year from which ac-| curate figures are available at the present. | In 1935 there were only 5988064 hunters’ licenses and 5832448 per- mits to fish issued. This made a grand total of 11,820,512 licensed to enjoy both sports. | In 1936, hunters’ licenses jumped to 6,658,158, or an increase of 670,- 094. Fishing licenses the same year went up to 6,901,587, representing an increase of 1,069,139. The total for 1936 was 13,559,745, or an in- creose of 1,739,233, which is 15 per cent higher than the 1935 figure. These figures indicate that more than 10 per cent of the entire popu- lation of the United States, which the United States Census Bureau estimates at 129,818,000, has been licensed either to fish or hunt. In addition to those licensed ta enjoy the outdoor sports, many more may fish and hunt without obtaining permits, as women are not requn'e(“ to obtain fishing licenses in some States and many States allow those under a certain age to participate without being licensed. In most States it is not necessary to buy licenses to hunt on your own prop- .
