W Mascara These Few Gray Hairs By f.UCIA HART NEA Staff Writer If a few grays have sneaked Into your dark hair and are as unwelcome as the wicked fairies that come unbidden to the feast don't pluck out the offenders, for they'll come right back. A better method is to coat the silvery threads with a mascara slain using the same paste and brush that you use to deepen the color of your eyelashes. To apply, single out gray hairs one at a time and stroke on color, beginning at the root and follow ing the hair to the end. - When gray begins to 'multiply so fast that to coat with mascara makes a messy camouflage, start tinting your last shampoo water with a darkening vegetable rinse that will color silvery fleckings to match the rest of your hair.

Kitten .IEAT:c3 o o o co. o V.VL1 ESi o1 ',r o Nora Eddington To File Divorce Suit HOLLYWOOD, April 10 (UP) Statuesque Nora Eddington to day decided to sue Errol Flynn, the elusive romantic movie aetor, for divorce. "All the love I had for Errol is gone completely," Miss Edding ton admitted. "What I want to do now is get a job. Then I'll file suit for divorce, probably right here in Hollywood." Flynn, as usual, had nothing to say. He's never had anything to say directly about his romance with the beauty who was selling cigarets at the courthouse when I'lynii was on trial two years ago. Broken Box Reveals Jewel Thieves' Loot CHICAGO, April 10 (UP) Jewelry valued al tAiK.'O, con tained in an expiess shipment with other jewelry, was identi fied today as the loot from the burglary of a Pasco, Wash., stoiv April 1. Total value of the jewelry which fell from a broken box in a railroad car in Northwestern station yesterday, was $13,500. The crate had been sent from Seattle by the son of a Chicago woman. The names were not disclosed. Police said loot from newelry stores in Michigan and Tennessee also was in the shipment. We HAVE always resented those snooty expressions, "aeross the traeks" or "down by the tracks," with their implication that there was something disreputable and socially low-life about living near railroad tracks. After living many years a block from tlx Esee'8 mils, we rise to say that tlro are many worse places to live. Living cloe to the railroad has its obvious ivl vantage .when you are a boy. Where is there n more romantic place than the right of way, with wheezing switch en gines, puffing freights (which travel so much fuller now than they to) an:l speeding paiwugrr trains?

Ufford, national vice-president of. the Congress of Parents and Teachers, at the five-county regional conference of parent teachers, yesterday in the Saca jawea hotel. She told of the background of the national association, and the influence it has in the nation, state and community, telling of the work of its committees in Washington, D. C, and its ef forts toward education for the children of the nation. Mrs. Ufford stressed that the P-TA units should utilize every opportunity to make their work effective, and said many organ izations fail to use the members' abilities in leadership, publicity, legislation and education. Mrs. H. H. Geor.ge, president of the Oregon congress of Parents and Teachers, speaking at the luncheon at the Episcopal church, discussed the projects of the organization in the state, among them school lunches, leg islation pertaining to health and the problem of raw milk.
