Life As Grape Picker In France, Beret
And All, Appeals To Columnisl Nichols
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
EPERNAY, France, Oct. 13 —
UP— The next time I get a vaca-
tion, I think I'll put on my beret,
come back here and hire out as
a temporary grape picker.
And as Joseph Dargent, public
relations director for the French
^champagne industry, was saying
* 1 can fetch Veronica along if 1
like.
The pickers have it pretty good,
and many of the peasants work as
man and wife teams.

with a British accent, told us
about the lot of the pickers. They
take time off from their own small
farm to gather in some pretty
fancy take-home plus pretty nive
living besides.
Coffee on House
They live in comfortable dormi-
tories rent free. Like government
workers in America, they are al-
lowed to sneak a coffee break
after working two hours. But un-
like our help at home the coffee
is on the house, plus a free hat-
ful of the things they have been
picking — grapes—and a yard or
so of bread.
At noontime, they take a two-
hour lunch, which the owner of
the vines provides, and can search
out a tree and work in a short
nap.
Their pay runs from $2 to $2.50
a day with the extras coming on
top. Once a week, or oftener, they
are given a hall where they
whoop it up on management-
brought red wine and music they
provide for themselves.
Supper Quite Filling
We sat down with them for sup-
per and it was quite filling and,
better still, didn't have as many
courses as are passed around by
white-tied waiters in the manor
houses.
We started out with palatable
soup. Then came chickens, home-
gown and killed that morning. I
The trimmings consisted of cab-
bage and potatoes seasoned to the j
tongue. For the wind up there was
tangy cheese and the wine flowed I
like champagne and even bubbled
like it.
A picker of grapes has to be
able to bend easily from the mid-
dle since the little white fruit (red
for that matter) nestles close to
the vines.
Please don't take the notion that
the grapes are gathered one at
a time. I am a novice picker and
therefore somewhat of an author-
ity and if you want proof you can
drop into room 72 of the national
press building in Washington one j
day and have a look at my beret, j
apron and boots.

VIOLENT BIDDING

The bidding of today's hand was
a bit violent, but this must be

nine-card suit. As a matter of fact,
East was quite restrained when he
decided to let the vulnerable op-
ponents play the hand at five dia-

However, he had already shown

Sen. Daniel Plans
West Texas Tour
LIBERTY, Tex., Oct. 13—UP—
Sen. Price Daniel opened the Trin-
ity Valley Exposition Wednesday,
then left for a series of speaking
engagements in West Texas.
Daniel had noon and afternoon
receptions scheduled for Lubbock
and Midland. He was to speak at
the Odessa oil show Wednesday
night. Thursday he planned to be!
in San Angelo and Abilene, then
make a speech at Snyder Thurs-
day night.
Daniel spoke Tuesday night at
an oil progress banquet at Wichita
Falls. Later this month, he plans
to make several political speeches
for Democratic congressional can- j
didates in New Mexico and
Florida.
the nature of his hand, and it was
up to West to decide whether to
sacrifice or try to defeat five dia- j
monds.
It was no cinch to beat five dia-
monds. Just put yourself in the
West seat and see if you would
come to the right conclusion if you
couldn't see all of the cards.
When the hand was actually
played, Lester Glucksman, well-
known New York expert, opened
the king of hearts from the West
hand. South won with the ace of
hearts, led a diamond to dummy's
ace, took the king of diamonds,
and then gave up a diamond trick
to West.
The average player would know
that it was dangerous to lead away
from either black king since South
surely had both the ace of clubs
and the queen of spades for his
opening bid. Hence the average
player would lead another heart—
and South would make his contract
Against a heart return, South
would ruff, take the ace of clubs,
and lead a club towards dummy's
queen. The clubs would then be
established, with the ace of spades
as a re-entry. South would easily
get all the spade discards that he
needed to make his contract.
Glucksman realized that South
was out of hearts since he hadn't
made any attempt to ruff a heart |
in dummy. The clubs were an ob-
vious menace, and the only way j
to prevent the suit from coming j
in was to lead the king of spades.
This remarkable lead defeated
the contract. South couldn't re-
fuse the trick, for he would surely
have to lose a club trick later on
Hut when he won the trick with
dummy's ace of spades there was
no longer an entry to the long ;
clubs. West was still sure to make I
a spade trick, with the jack, and
a club trick with the king—enough
to defeat the game contract.
O'Dwyer Arrives
For Hearing
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13— UP—
Former U. S. Ambassador to Mex-
ieao William O'Dwyer arrived here

appearance before a House sub-

answered to both questions.
The affable former diplomat was j
met at the airport by singer Ella

me, Liam?"
"That's gallic for William," she
told reporters.
"Of course," O'Dwyer told her.

Wonders Can Now Be Done
For Skin of Any Age!
Dry skin can be overcome.

fCrow's Feet" made less noticeable
The great benefits that have been brought to all mankind as the result of
research in the fields of specialized medicine and physicotherapy include
important new knowledge of the human skin and its care. For example,
it is now established that the condition known as "dry skin" need no longer
plague a woman's very existence and add unwanted years to her appear-
ance. Also, out of this new knowledge has come a successful treatment
for those age-adding lines at the corners of the eyes called "Crow's Feet."
This condition is often directly related to excessive skin dryness. The indi-
cated treatment for "Crow's Feet," therefore, is the same as for dryness.
Results are most satisfying. The skin gains new elasticity overnight from
just one treatment, and as it becomes more and more elastic, softer and
more supple with continued treatment, those "Crow's Feet" and many
other tiny lines become softer and less noticeable. The face appears
fresher, smoother and younger looking.
The Treatment Is Simple
This very desirable change in one's appearance is quickly accomplished.
A special liquid solution containing pure lanolin, with a plus in it, is
applied to the surface of the skin. Certain components of this special
lanolin solution (known as cholestcrols and esters) then penetrate the skin
to alleviate the condition of dryness and to make the skin softer and
more elastic.
This wonder liquid is Lanolin Plus Liquid and is only $1, plus tax,
wherever cosmetics are sold. It is best used at night, first as a make-up
remover, then a few drops gently massaged in just before retiring. Results
can be speeded up if the skin pores arc first opened with a hot, wet towel.
Used as a powder base, it keeps the Lanolin Plus in contact with the
skin during the day. thereby still further accelerating its beauty action.
In any event, Lanoi in Plus Liquid used in this manner does wonders
for dry skin and "Crow's Feet."
Important Shampoo Improvements Have Been Made, Too
The action of soap and synthetic detergents on human hair has been
carefully studied, with a view to developing a shampoo that would cleanse
thoroughly and beautify, too. Such a shampoo would have to rinse out
completely (with one rinsing) so that no dulling residue or film would
remain on the hair. It must not dry out the hair or cause the ends to split.
Lanolin Plus Shampoo meets all these requirements, and as a plus, it
beauty-treats the hair by giving it a high sheen-millions of dancing high-
lights. Lanoi.in Plus Shampoo is economical, loo. $1 (no tax) for the
large 6-ounce bottle.
C.ood New* For Those Who
Prefer Cleansing Cream
Now there is a cleansing cream that
makes available to the skin new choles-
terols and esters each time it is used.
But this wonderful softening action is
not at the expense of cleansing thor-
oughness. Lanolin Plus Cleansing
Cream for Dry Skin seems to remove
every tiny speck of dirt. So, dry skin
victims who prefer a cleansing cream
will get immediate and beautiful results
from Lanoi.in Plus Cleansing Cream
for Pry Skin. $1 plus lax wherever cos-
metics are sold.
Softer Hands Than He
Ever Held Before
Lanolin Plus Hand Lotion actually
makes hands smoother by making
them actually softer. Not greasy at
all. Lanolin Plus Hand Lotion per-
forms its miracles by supplying pene-
trating, lubricating cholestcrols and
esters to the skin. Results are unbe-
lievable, until one sees them for her-
self. Then, when the user finds out he
can't leave her hands alone, she'll
know how truly wonderful Lanolin
Plus Hand Lotion really is. $1 plus
tax wherever cosmetics are sold. Ap-
plicator pump free of extra charge is
very handy. No cap to take off and
put back on.

poo? Brush in a few drops of Lanolin

LIQUID
For EYE COMFORT While Seein
light your room properly
i
You'll enjoy greater eye comfort
while watching TV if your room is
properly lighted. This means less eye
strain because tests have shown that
good, general room light lessens the
strong contrast between the bright tel-
evision screen and darker surround-
ings.
Suggestions for lighting your room
for television;
1. When floor and table lamps are
used, place them so they will not form
a reflection in the screen, and where
they will not make exceptionally
bright spots of light on nearby walls.
2. Place lamps far enough from the
television set so there will be no glare
in the eyes. Lamp shades should be of
opaque paper or dense fabric.
S. When lighted valances or torch-
ieres are used, the room should be ar-
ranged so that these lighting arrange-
ments are to one side or behind the
viewers.
