By CHERIE NICHOLAS It's well to know your colors these days for tjie greater part of current fashion centers about a dramatic use of the loveliest and most unusual colors that fancy might picture. What with fabrics limited to a comparatively few simple weaves, creators of fashion turned to color a$ a means of giving to women's attire a new and fascinating interpretation of chic, feminine charm and untold glamour. It's not only a fact that the new colors are simply amazingly lovely but the way designers are flinging them together in dramatic combinations and bold contrast Is sirhpiy breathtaking.

Then there's that very new interesting bluebeiry shade that teams so beautifully with 'he fashionable fuchsia tones. Prominent in the fashion picture are the new greens and the way designers combine one green with another green is something to dream about. Scarab green used with deep forest green gives a subtle effect that delights the eye. Many of the new wool suits and coats show this duo-color scheme worked out with high artistry. Citron green also partners well with a darker green. Blouses in lime green ar^ in wide demand. It is said that fuchsia and lime green blouses top the list as to popularity. - Important in the color list are a >eries of yellows, the most outstanding being the new Russian yellow which is one q| the featured colors for handsome wool coats. Sweaters ;in this yellow are smart and crepes in the same shade are selling for dresses and blouses. Victorian white is an exciting new color. It is not really white but is best described as pale neutral suggesting a light putty gray.

These twinkle slippers are ever so attractive and you can get them in bright wool with multicolor sequins as weQ as black with bronze. • « .'• The pendulum has actually swung back to bright reef knitted underwear. In the college § they are showing panties mas and nightgowns kni one-third wool and two-thirds rayon yarn in about the brightest red you ever saw. When this fad gets fully underway there'll be no stopping it. UOLLYWOOD'S newest juvenile star--all hands seem to agree on that--is a 12-year-old girl who can say more with a flash of her wondrous eyes than most veteran actors can put across ttrith a full page of dialog. Those eyes, deep set pools of blue that probe right into your heart^are the first thing you notice about Elisabeth Taylor. The second is her indomitable will. The two form an unbeatable combination. Elizabeth is a cftflfct. beautiful child who has "willed" her way to Hollywood success. With any less determination she never would have won her opportunity to portray Velveti the little heroine of "National Velvet." It is her outstanding performance in this picture that has lifted her t? the stellar heights. • Since she first set foot on the MGM lot almost two years agCLEIi^abeth's heart has been set on playt^g Velvet. The studio's had (the script ^ince May, 1937, waiting fi girl. Hundreds, had been tested ano many announced, but with no cess. • When Elizabeth approachei Producer Pandro S. Berman she wa told, "I'm sorry, honey, but I'm afraid you're not tall enough. Besides, Velvet has to ride a horse over a very difficult steeplechase course." Spirit That Wins "I can learn to do that," prompt ly declared the little girl. "And 1 can grow, too!" In the next three months she did To the amazement even of her family doctor she grew three inphes. This is explained by the fact that she suddenly developed an eiior mous appetite, after being a finicky eater for yearst, and added two hours to her sleeping each night. It was all her own idea, and' she stuck to it. Elizabeth already knew and loved horses. She had learned to ride at the age of four while living in England. Now, during the three months she trained daily on jumps until she was clearing five foot hurdles with ease and grace. When she confronted Betman again he, too, was amazed at her growth. He called Clarence Brown, and they watched her ride and jump and marveled some more. A technicolor test was made, and Velvet had been found. Elizabeth was born in London, the daughter of Francis Taylor, art dealer, and the former "Sara Southern, who played the little crippled girl in ^banning Pollock's '.'The Fool" on the New York stage. Elizabeth attended school at By- - ron house in London. She was seven when war clouds began to darken Europe and her father moved his family to America. They have since made their home In Beverly Hills. Two years ago when her father was on duty as an air raid warden; Sam Marx, a Metro producer, was moaning to a fellow warden about not finding a child for "Lassie, Come Home," with Roddy McDowall. The man said, "Taylor, here, has a young daughter that would be good for that part." Sam said to Taylor, "Bring her over to my office tomorrow, will you?" Taylor did, and Elizabeth got the part. On Her Way After the Lassie picture die appeared with Roddy again in "White Cliffs of Dover," then was loaned to Twentieth for "Jane Eyre," as Jane's ill-fated school chum. Her death scenes marked the first real proof of her acting talent. Following this she achieved her goal of the title role in "National Velvet," in which she teams with Mickey Rooney. Her next assignment was awaiting her, and she's now nearly finished "Hold High the Torch." It is a part to delight any child and particularly Elizabeth. In the cast with her are her old friend, Lassie, the collie dog star, and a collection of wild life, that includes a black bear, coyote, beaver, silver fox, squirrels, chip munks, porcupines and even skunks The set is a little girl's paradise it. which Elizabeth revels. Her mother phoned me the o,thei day and said, "Hedda, Elizabeth i.- just dying to bring over her pe chipmunk to introduce him to you. pet dog, Wolfie." Well, since I lov. Wolfie as she does her chip, I ha. to say: "Wait until you c&n get he: out of the house without an animalthen Wolfie will love to see her, an< so will I."-" With or without animals, Elizabet will creep straight into your hearl and let me predict now, no amour* of praise will ever spoil her. * • • • And Now.

Miller of Marengo, committeeman from Marengo One precinct, got up and put on his hat and coat and stated he was going to take a walk. He said the only way unity could be had in the county' would be to let all three candidates take their candidacies to the district convention. Other Disagreements ^ After many other disagreements, Committeeman Miller made a motion to adjourn the nj#ettag. This brought another round of arguments. Many of the members wanted to stay and thrash out the matter, while others wanted to adjourn. Considerable oratory followed, with several members suggesting that the meeting adjourn for a week and that the three candidates get together and try to iron but the situation, so that pnly one candidate would present his candidacy at the next meeting. This, some of the members indicated, seemed impossible as all three candidates had their minds pretty well made up on this question and several times prior to the meeting had met and failed to agree on the one candiadte plan. Whether the motion to adopt the resolution endorsing Judge Cowlin would have passed or not is a question. Supporters of Joslyn and Carroll were nt the opinion that the vote woulanave been close. All three candidates spoke in behalf of themselves at the start of the meeting. Joslyn. said he had worked for many years for other Republican candidates and believed he was not only qualified for circuit judge, but that he deserved the chance to be a candidate. Carroll told of his years-of experience as a representative in the General Assembly and as assistant date's attorney and that hejbelieved he was not asking too much in seeking promotion to the circuit bench. Judge Cowlin said he thought he should be given the chance for pro* motion, after nine years as county judge. County Has 30 Votes McHenry county has ""ffiirty full votes in the convention and a fraction of a vote. Boone has twelve, Winnebago fifty-three and Lake eightj^-One. Boone county has endorsed the candidacy of County Judgb Frank Oakley. With only twelve votes, this is a small step in securing enough votes to nominate their 'candidate. Charges that Winnebago and Lake counties will go for Boone's candidate unless McHenry county agrees on one candidate have been made. Carroll and Joslyn deny such actio* has been taken in Lake and Winnebago, as both these counties have endorsed only Judges Ralph J. Dady and Wm. R. Dusher, present judges for re-election. ' As the matter stands now, the McHenry county convention has adjourned until March 1, 1945. What will happen in the meantime or at the March 1 meeting is not known. Among the Sick * JACOB M.

Camel Fallacies Brought To Light by the Yanks The Yanks in addition to learnv ing about war have found out many new facts about camelsv and exploded some of the fallacies. The camel's hump is composed of nearly 80 pounds of fat, and not of water as often stated. This is about one-fifteenth of the weight of a camel. ' • The pbuches serve to moisten the food which is to be masticated during rumittation, and not as a reservoir for tvator. The water is contained from general circulation, as saliva is. The, camel's normal reserve of liquid water seerps in fact to be stored all Over its body, as.is the case with any other animal, except the camel can store water in the tissues underlying its skin. Camels get drunk r>n fresh water. When deorived of salt and given fresh water to drink they may.develop "mad staggers," Which is water intoxication. They can also 1 suffer from getting too much salt, j They must be given salt with their fodder if salt-bearing vegetation is' ! not available.
