Model Bctlim Bolcgard puffs a ' to match By EPSIE KINARD NEA Stall Correspondent NKW YORK, Miir. 28 The petticoat trade has invaded the sacred precincts of the tobaccon ists' shops and has entered ir.'.o vigorous competition fur the lim ited supply of pipes available to fugitives from tile cigarette lines. . Swank Kitth Avenue shops displaying deluxe feminine briars find .their shelves raided. Head shaking pipe salesmen are inita ating the gals into the gentle mysteries of packing howls, in panelled quarters hitherlo as male as a London club. Bohind-lhc-countcr connoisseurs of the nfcpalurc leaf and the aromatic Flavor are whooping up the blends that don't bite. Show rases display hefty masculine, briars and sturdy meerschaums side-by-side with dainty, quarter-sized replicas which set the femnics back anywhere from $.'J to $17.50. Lady-like pouches may cost a gal as mahy as five bucks. Tougher girl "pipers," though, prefer the huskier man's pipe, disdaining the feminized inidgets. Just as cigarettes landed be tween the rouged lips of the na tion in World war 1, pipe stems have become popular in World war II, creating a vogue which shrewd observers expect to click as a smoking habit. Cigar-smokers harassed by the stogie short age arc trembling with fear lest the dames start competing with them for the. scarce weeds. Btft pipe-smf4kmg bV women is not new, savs one old-timer, cit ing a bold blue-blood of Spanish King Alfonso's court who in 11117 Ml set a vogue which sweot Paris and traveled to London. Proof that it had followers here is the conservative tobacconist's claim that he has had some lady cus tomers for years, f.'any writers, artists, and .just plain housewives prefer the contemplative smoke, like the taste of succulent stems and enjoy the continual puff-puff from a lighted chimney pot.

But they ve got their problems. Biggest is finding tobacco, suit or! to feminine palates. Too strong arc commercial blends, made for men. So unlearned me the novices in the mysteries of obtaining blander mixtures that one swank shop is reorganizing its tobacco department to lielp the girls around the corners. Once girls learn how to pick a blend, pack a bowl, fire up by lighting the whole surface even ly, and how to keep a pipe sweet and dry by keeping it clean, they arc- expected to derive more pleasure from their long-stem med smokes. Just as the petticoat trade goes for the fruit, rum and honey flavored tobacco, so are they suckers for pretty plastic pipe terns lipstick red, complexion pink and yellow, green or what have-vou to match a costume Pine-stem sets for one briar bowl which enable the girls to switch colors to suit a mood, just as they switch their hats, are already on the counters. In the works arc other feminized ideas, including a hand bag which will give pipe a home. Marched out for the girls arc gadgets for tamping tobacco in the bowl to save wear and tear on glittering nails. Ladies pick a pipe not by wood or grain, as men do, but fjr ap Deurances. salesmen say. . What puzzles the men behind the coun tors it how a novice knows that she should have a hefty bowl with a long stem, if she's a big gal; a daintier "bull dog," "apple or "billiard ball,' if she's the petite type.

German Resistance Crumbles as Allies Drive Eastward (Continued from Page 1) time lo avoid hitting allied tion yet made by Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's 21st army group. The advance was going ahead so rapidly that at one point a dramatic "hold your fire" or der was flashed to RAF fliers swarming out to pound the Germans' fleeing road columns. British tank forces wore so close on the heels of the re treating enemy that the air at tacks had to be called off for a troops. In the Muensier area, the Bri tish were less than 40 miles from a juncture with U. S. first army tanks, last reported at Paderborn, 190 miles southwest of the Ger man capital. The Yanks were ranging out almost unopposed lo the north and cast of that road center after, a sensational , 100-mi!-3 flanking sweep from the Giessen area. Tank Advance is Rapid On the first army's right flank, the American third army's plung ing tank columns were plowing northeast and east from Giessen at a milc-an-hour clip, sinning along the main Frankfurl-Bcrlin superhighway. The German high command said third army forces were at Bad Wildungen 186 miles south west of Berlin and ID miles south west of the Hessian capital of Kassel. Kassel, keystone of the Germans' Weser river line, was being outflanked from the south west and southeast. Its fall would break the enemy's last major water line short of the Elbe and Berlin. Spearheads Near Kassel A first army spearhead reached Fritzler on the Eder river, only 14 miles southwest : of Kassel, while a third army column reach ed the Ti'.'sysa area, 2i) miles southwest of Kassel. Other first army spearheads swept through Paderborn. 1KB miles west of Berlin, moving at such a rale that a dispatch from first army headquarters said they had now virtually cut off the Ruhr from central Germany. This column was moving to a junction with Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery's forces. These troops, still under a secur ity blackout, were reported to have mcivul post Mucnster, 227 mile s from B"i lin. The distance between the first army spearhead and Montgom ery's columns was not known exactly since Montgomery's for ces seemed to be swingning some what northward tov.aitl the great German port cities of Hamburg and Bremen. The closest column to Berlin j according to allied reports was j the first army spearhead at Fritz- I lar where it was Itla miles fiom the relch capital. German ac count!; placed U.

Y., and where they got the raw material is their secret; all I know is that one end of the cigaret is dipped m 'ii- whatever it is that makes fire. No need to strike a match; just strike your cigaret Smoke stains teeth and that. leads US inevitably to the paral lel inventions of Albert A. Heicl eman of Zurich; Ontario, .and Li my. Walker of Mullen, Neb. Al bert has invented a tooth brush with the paste in the handle, ft oozes through a tube to the bris tles and automatically polishes your choppers.

You can't put it in your pocket, exactly, but you can car ry it on a streetcar. Gcod-by Hot Riding Horace B. Rogers of Norfolk, Va., likewise has considered the transportation problem. He is responsible for an automobile air condiloner that works like this: a tank of water under pressure is attached lo a kind of garden spray on the hood, facing the windshield. When you push Un button, Horace claims that the ear is enveloped in a cloud of cool, clean, refreshing mist. Boy!
