The inside of your purse should be as clean as a teddy bear’s ear. It doesn’t make sense that fresh- ly. shampooed hair be messed up by a comb or bobby pins dug out of a dirty purse or that a nice complexion should be sullied by a powder puff laden with bacteria. Lovely skin and lustrous hair must be kept clean to preserve their Gizara, 55558 Keynote St., Long Beach, Calif., southwest regional vice-president; Juanita Booker, 255 Dixon Place, Akron, Ohio, central regional vice-president; Dorothy Borcz, Edgewater, Md., north: west regional vice-president; and Mary T.

She'll tolerate a broken mirror, a bad closure that causes" leaking powder and a scratched-up case, always trying to squeeze the last bit of use out of it. A new compact is a glamor in- vestment. A box of cotton puffs that are inexpensive enough so that-a fresh one may be used each day is further complexion insur- ance. The puffs are quilted so that the cotton will not adhere to your foundation or your lipstick. They’ll slip into your compact easily, and | fluff up when you put them in use. One way to insure clean hair, skin and fingernails in spite of using buried-in-the-bag beauty ac- cessories, is to put compact, lip- stick, comb and nailfile in a sep- er parapher- threatre ticket Large Numbers Of Birds Seen Here Saturday Morning Contributed by Frances Hames, President, Monroe County Audubon Society On Saturday morning we saw probably the largest concentration of different kinds of birds in a small area that would be possible anywhere, In an area of about 50 square feet, along Atlantic Boule- vard, 10 different kinds of birds were feeding: Roseate spoon- bills, 3; reddish egret, 3; American egret, 1; snowy egret, 5; Louisiana heron, 3; little blue heron, 1; black- | bellied plover, 2; willet, 1; lesser | yellow-legs, 1; dowitcher, 1. In the surrounding area was a Wards he- ron, double - crested cormorant, green heron, greater yellow - legs, pectoral sandpiper and a belted kingfisher. On a three hour trip afield, Ken- neth Minter, Esther Minter, Mar- garet Hundley and the writer saw 36 different kinds of birds. Of course, not all the birds in the Key West area! were found, al- | though Margaret reported seeing six additional species later in the day and Kenneth two for eary mor- ning. Indigo buntings and house wrens are known to be around the ceme- tery but we did not go there. Then there is the little ground dove, a permanent resident. Nobody saw him that day. Nor did anyone see our distinguished visitor from Afri- ca, the cattle egret. Other birds that were quite like- ly in the area but were missed in- clude the coot, broad - winged hawk, barn owl and turkey vul- ture (all seen during the week), ‘tthe red - bellied woodpecker and perhaps the common yellow - throat. It may be that there were 55 or more species actually represent- ed in the area that day, but we think it is remarkable that that 36 were found and identified in such a small area, in three hours. Included in the 36 species were: Brown pelican, great white heron, baldpate, blue-winged teal, sharp- shinned hawk, marsh hawk, osprey, sparrow hawk, laughing gull, roy- al tern, mourning dove, chuck - will’s - widow, barn swallow, mock- ingbird, catbird, blue- gray gnat catcher, palm warbler, redstart and red - winged blackbird. stubs, tobacco, leaky fountain pens | and tidbits of lead pencil. A chic New York model noted for her svelte and elegant looks solved the clean purse problem by keeping all of her beauty aids tied up in a large hankerchief in her handbag. Every couple of days she would flatten out a clean handker- chief on her bureau top and put her beauty props in it. This gave her a good opportunity, too, to check her compact and fill it with new powder, replace the old tired puff with a new cotton puff, shar- pen her eyebrow pencil to a new point, check the color of her lip- stick to her costume, clean her comb and eyelash brush. — AP Newsfeatures. loween? 4. 7.

But her father left the princely state to become involved in India’s independence movement, and the young princess, too, caught the na- tionalist fever. She became a follower of Ma- hatma Gandhi and trekked across India with him, pleading for India’s independence and accepting the hardship of his wanderings. The princess devoted most of 30 years to the freedom struggle. And when the British finally left in 1947, she became India’s first minister of health. Her acceptance of this portfolio was the beginning of a new strus- gle, a fight against the multitude of diseases which yearly claims hundreds of thousands of lives in over-populated, under-developed India. Determination has kept 65-year- old Rajkumari Amrit Kaur at the health ministry since 1947—and has | made her the “first lady” of India | in the eyes of many of her country- men. They affectionately address her as “Rajkumari,” her royal | title, meaning “Princess.” Seldom in her life has she found time to leave India but this fall she makes her fist visit to America. The trip is primarily intended as a means of bringing India’s health minister in touch with American icans about our country.’ During her travels across the United States, she hopes to speak : oo Women Gandhi,” she says, “and help Americans to know him better.” Through devotion to Gandhi, she still wears only homespun’ gar- ments, continuing to follow his edict against machine-made goods.

A Christian herself, she re- portedly has been a moderating in- fluence on other cabinet members seeking to curtail activities of mis- sionaries. Hindu extremist organi- zations recently have been accus- ing them of spying for the United States. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru has said missionaries con- stitute a political, rather than a religious, problem. The dynamic Indian health min- ister will lunch with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt after her arrival in New York. She will be in Washington as the guest of Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, secretary of health, education and welfare. Rajkumari hopes to visit many of Washington’s federal agencies and to meet with Ameri- can officials. _Rajkumari will be in Buffalo, N. Y., for the American public health Assn. meeting, which she is scheduled to address. On her tour she will inspect pub- lic and private medical and nurs- ing education facilities. After four or five days with Canadian health officials in Otta- wa, she will return directly to New Delhi.
