You'd think, when considering the great efforts of the sisters to make themselves attractive, that people were all eyes. Many overlook the fact that people have ears, that a charming voice makes a strong ap- peal. They use line, color and art- jstry to make the pulchritude grade, but their efforts mean little if the woice is the kind that gets on lis- teners' nerves, makes them want fo run away. There are loud speakers, mumb- lers, droners, squeakers and those who run their words together. Sup- pose, my friend, that you test your voice, just for fun. Read aloud, as if 'you were reading to someone. ten carefully. When you say "this afternoin" do you give every syllable its true value or do you say something that sounds like "thza- fernun?" When you greet a friend do you ask 'H'aryah?" That is a lazy way of talking, a sloppy way of speaking. Let us hope that you pronounce g" completely, not drop the final Py, & common habit and a bad one. [fter you have read for five min- utes, read the same thing over in & whisper.

Too many individuals mouth their words and then swailow them with the result that the listener is for- ever asking them to repeat. What should be done if the voice is unpleasant? It can be improyed under professional supervision. In almost any university there will be found a class in training the speak- ing voice. Bad vocal habits can be overcome. Men and women in all walks of life, of varying ages, all in- tent on self-improvement, attend these classes. One condition to be avoided is tension. Tension makes for ugly sounds.

One should remember that ladies do not shout, no matter what hap- pens, It just isn't being done by nice people. Learn to sing. That is one way to have a good speaking voice. A woman who sings well is usually one who gets on in social or busi- ness life, who radiates the energy and enthusiasm that are the neces- sary qualities of charm. So says an expert along those lines. He says also that a good vocal exercise is to repeat four words -- near, nair, nurr and usrr--over and over again. They get the sound board into action. Emotional Upsets Cause Over-Eating ----Adany peop! driven tc 4 as others are driven to drink, and overeating is the cause of over- weight, say medical scientists whose surveys have been published 'over the last two years. Sugar , These findings promise to change mistaken opinions that sugar con- sumption should be sharply cur- tailed to maintain body weight at healthful levels. The root of the compulsion to overeat is in mal- adjusted personalities, doctors re- port, and sugar -- a favorite among foods -- is consumed ive amounts along with other items in the diet. Glandular Balance Out of 1,000 cases of excessive bo- dy weight, only one percent suffer- ed from lack of glandular balance, and all the others simply ate too much food, according to a bulletin issued by the Sugar Research Foun- dation of New York, Psychic Upsets Following interviews withe 500 obese patients, Dr. S. Charles Freed, a San Francisco physician reports in a medical journal that 370 gorg- ed themselves after such a psychic upsets as grief or disappointment. Another 95 said they ate more when idle, bored or tired. Altogeth- er 93 percent recognized anxiety as the cause of their trouble. Dr. Freed suggests that all medi- cal men make patients aware of the psychological urges behind over- eating. Obesity is such a wide- spread menace to health that psy- chiatrists alone cannot cope with problem. . ychic urges are 'so powerful Nedt sometimes a patient will not stop overeating even if warned that it may mean early death, says Dr. Freed. Such a person is in the same fix as the alcoholic who cannot control his drinking. Go!

PHONE 5360 "Thoutre Talk By PAT USSHER Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, Nov. 20--(CP)--"Bra- vo!" had all the necessary talent for a hit play. -- Edn: Ferber and George S. Kauf- man, a notable stage team, were the authors. Kaufman directed and Os- car Homolka was the star. "Bravo!" now at the Lyceum Theatre, is a sympathetic and warm exposition of the difficulties refugees face. But unfortunately the authors have wrapped it in a plot that falters and fumbles all the way. Homolka plays a brilliant but be- wildereq Hungarian playwright with dash and color and conviction. Lily Darvas does nicely by the part of a Hungarian actress, but they are tripped most of the time by the story. The complication, a question of illegal entry into the United States, is resolved by the introduc- tion of elder statesman Bernard Baruch (as a voice over the tele- phone) to save the day. Irrepressible Bobby | It's quite a sight to see Bobby Clark romping roughshod through a plot. The impish comedian with the leer and the painted-on spec- tacles is at it again in a lavish Michael Todd production, "As The Girls Go." The story of this musical has to do with the first womdn president of the United States. Irene Rich plays. the part in which she has little to do but stand around and look beautiful. Clark is her hus- band. But the plot does little to hamper his: exuberance and he romps around the stage with his customary zest, puffing at a cigar and ogling the stunningly hand- some chorus girls. Hanging Jddge Raymond Massey, Toronto-born actor who also has had some exper- ience as a producer, has commis- sioned Romney Brent to dramatize "Hanging Judge," a Bruce Hamil- ton murder novel. He plans to pro- duce it next spring in association with Victor Samrock and William Fields. Stars In Their Courses Adrianne Allen this week takes over the role played by peggy Ash- croft in "Edward, My Son." Prev- lously Meg Munday had been lined up for the part but she decided against entering the play . . . A play written for Zasu Pitts is about ready for George Abbott who plans to launch it in Boston Dec. 27. It is called "Mother Was a Lady" and was written by Anita Loos and Frances Marion. Miss Pitts, who will star in the production, was last seen on Broadway four years ago in "Ramshackle Inn." New Rations Mean Sweeter Christmas After a year of eight-ounce-per- week sugar rations, U.K. household- ers will return to a ten-ounce al- lowance on December 5. Manufac- turers will also receive more sugar. Just in time for Christmas, the four-week candy ration will be in- creased from 12 ounces to one pound and all jams and marma- lades will be removed from the ra- tion list. In past years, the UK. has pro- duced enough beet sugar to supply the household ration. The new con- cessions will increase sugar distri- bution by 180,000 short tons annu- ally, and sugar production from beets now being harvested, will be 115,000 tons more than a year ago. TAKE IT EASY Feel a cold coming on? Might as well face up to it. You are in for an unpleasail few days, Bul you can help yourself a lot by taking it easy--go to bed for a day or so if possible. Eat lightly of nourish- ing foods and stay away from other' people .as much as you can. Re- member, colds can be dangerous. A Physician Advises You By HERMAN A. BUNDESEN, MD. TREATMENT FOR EDEMA Ordinarily, what is known as the fluid-balance of the body is very exactly controlled, so that, no mat- ter how much is taken, the total amount in the tissues remains con- stant. In certain diseased conditions, however, the body loses its ability to get rid of fluids with the result that great amounts collect in the tissues and body cavities. This con- dition, known to the average man as dropsy, goes under the medical name of edema. Heart failure is one of the causes of edema; chronic kidney disease is another, When the edema is due to failure of the heart to properly keep up the circulation, the circulation must be improved and the amount of salt taken reduced, but the fluids need not be restricted. For a short period it may be advisable to give the pa- tient four or five glassfuls of milk daily, with not over one gram of salt each day. If the patient is un- dernourished and has a poor appe- tite, he sometimes may be allowed jo aga some salt to his food at meal es, Mercurial Preparations To aid eliminating the fluid, certain mercurial preparations are injected which stimulate the action of the kidneys. These should not be used oftener than once in two weeks after the first few doses. The patient should have a scale at home and keep a daily record of the weight, which will show whether or not the fluid is being eliminated. The edema sometimes may con- tinue even though the patient has been: kept at rest in bed, has been given digitalis to slow and strength- en the heart-beat, and has had mer- curials to increase the actions of the kidneys. In such cases, it is sug- gested that the fluid which may have collected in the abdomen be withdrawn by using a needle and syringe, and~that a glucose solution then be placed in the cavity of the abdomen, withdrawing it from two to four hours later. This may help to eliminate the salt from the body. When the edema is due to chronic kidney disease, the use of the mer- curial preparations is of no value and may be dangerous. It is neces- sary in these cases to limit the water intake. Another type of kidney disease, called nephrosis, may also cause a great deal of edema. In such cases, much protein is lost from the body through the urine. In this disorder, the diet must contain enough pro- tein to make good the loss, but very little salt. Injections of concen- trated serum albumin, taken from the blood of well people, is also of value, Patients with edema require thor- ough study by a physician and should remain under medical care until the condition is alleviated.

Every bit of the cream Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood, (AP) -- Tired young stars can take a lesson from Frank Morgan; he is celebrating his 35th year as a film actor by working in two pictures at once. Reviewing his service before the camera, the actor glowed: "It has been a long and profit- able engagement." Now playing a gambling oldster in "The Great Sinner" and a not-so- old baseball trainer (sans mous- tache) in "The Stratton Story," Morgan disclosed that he has always toyed with his age. "1 started out as a character ac- tor," he said, "because I didn't like to run. When I began acting in my 20s, the juvenile never walked on stage. He had to run in with a ten- nis racket in his hand and he went off the same way, running and waving. Well, I wanted to walk, so I greyed my hair and became a char- acter actor." When he came to Hollywood in 1932 (he had made eastern films in the early days), Morgan almost lost his resolve to remain a char- acter actor. "I came out to star in 'Topaz.' It's a long story, but I finally didn't do the part; Johnsarrymore did. It might have changed my whole ca- reer and brought me to the atten- tion of the public as more of a leading man type. Tnen I would have had to face the problem of transition from lover to character man. "That is a hard thing to do. It generally tgkes 10 years of idleness to make tHe jump.

Bigamy Prevalent In Berlin As German Widows Re-Marry Hastily Berlin -- (AP) -- Thousands of The registrar saw the death dec- Germans live today without knowing it. This is what happens: A woman has not seen her hus- band for several years. Maybe he was killed or captured. Perhaps he is being held by the Russians. She has not heard from or about him. Enough time has gone by for her to presume the man is dead. The wife goes to a tribunal, de- clares that her husband is dead and gets a judgment. This. is where the trouble starts. Under the law, the judgment must be published in a daily paper. Once that is done and a month has gone by, the wo- man may marry again. Seems simple, doesn't it? Judge Erich Schubart of a Berlin court says it isn't. Too many people are unaware of the strict technicality of the law. As a result they insert their ad- vertisements in the only newspaper they know about. In villages it's usually a weekly. That is not good enough. Moreover, many fail to wait the necessary month. This wouldn't matter much ex- cept that many Germans lately have been showing up after they are supposed to be dead. Then the fat is in the fire. Schubdrt illustrates with the story of a woman whose husband had been missing since October 1943. There was testimony of friends who had last seen him wounded on'a battlefield. On the strength of this evidence the man was declared dead in July 1947. Paper shortage and a backlog of advertisements made it impossible to publish this fact before Decem- ber 1, 1947. Meanwhile, the widow, engaged to be remarried, decided Christmas Day would be a good day for the wedding. Everything went off fine. in bigamy We have installed our own generating plant to illuminate our store during the present cinergency. Why shop in the dark... come to Kiddy City where the "lights are never out: claration and was satisfied. But four months later, the missing hus- band re-appeared from a prisoner of war camp. He went to a law- yer. The lawyer found that the second marriage took place a week before the legal deadline and his client had a clear suit for bigamy. Schubart, who is writing a book on the subject, says many persons who have been declared dead in the last 10 years--there have been more than 50,000 in Germany--are coming back alive, If these people find their spouses remarried within the boundaries of the law there is not much they can do except claim their property. The second marriage is valid unless the supposed widow herself wants to 80 back to her first husband. Her second marriage can be annulled, but she then may not marry any- one except her first husband. Judge Schubart says that women whose husbands are prisoners in Russia or interned in Soviet camps in the Soviet zone of Germany are in the most difficult position. They risk remaining "unconfirmed wid- CWS nany years. The Russians prisoners and are chary. of disclos- ing deaths. The "unconfirmed widows" have the toughest break of all."

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Wedding Anniversary Invitation Issued By Several Sons and h Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Our parents are to have their fif- tieth wedding anniversary soon, and we, their three daughters and three sons, would like to have a recep- tion to celebrate the occasion. Al- though we will give the party, it will take place, because of circum- stances, in our parents' house. Also, because of circumstances, it will have to be in the afternoon, and not of very long duration (which we would like to make as clear as possible). Is there any form of in- vitation you could suggest for us to use for this occasion? C.LH, Yes, when there are several dauwhters and sons joining with their parents to celebrate such an occasion, this is a correct form: In honor of the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wells their sons and daughters request the pleasure of your com- pany on Friday, the first of December four to six o'clock Twenty Park Place RSVP. For a To-Be Divorcee: Wearing Her Rings, Using Her Name Dear Mrs, Beeckman: 1. I am to receive my final di- vorce decree quite soon. Should I continue to wear my engagement and wedding rings? 2. What is the correct form of name for me to use? . DK.L. 1. Whether or not you continue to wear your engagement ring and wedding ring (either ring or both rings) depends entirely on your own wish. If you have children, parti- cularly young children, you may prefer to wear your rings, at least your wedding ring. 2. The very best fro mis for you to drop your ex-husband's first name, and in its place substitute your maiden surndme. If, for example, your maiden surname was Robin- son and your married surname is Lane, your name, after the divorce, ' would be Mrs. Robinson Lane. This form of name for a divorcee is not only correct, but is very sensible and practical as well, for it imme- diately indicates her status and so makes things easier as far as her name is concerned. The only other good form is the use of the initial for your first name: Mrs. D. Rob- inson Lane. . .but this is not con- sidered in such good taste and good form as the first suggestion. Cut The Shrimp Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When the srimps in a shrimp or seafood cocktail are large ones, is it proper to put a whole shrimp into one's mouth? - Reader No. . .it is easy to cut the shrimp in half with the edge of the cock- tail fork or whatever small fork is served with the shrimp cocktail. YOUR MANNERS, WHAT KIND? By Mrs. Beeckman It is the quality of your manners that shows the quality of YOU. Be- cause with and by and through your manners, that is, what you do and say, you reveal the way you think, about yourself and about everyone with. whom you come in contact. Your manners give form to your life, and it is for you to choose what form. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on Good Man- ners submitted by readers.) Music Hall Old-Timers Breaking + All London Box Office Records By NORMAN CRIBBENS Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Nov. 18--(CP)--Seven stars of gas-lit London--two of them more than 70--are breaking box office records all over Britain this year in a nostalgic vaudeville show called "Thanks for the Mem- ory." All attribute their long-sustained popularity to learning stagecraft "the hard way." Since last February they have played twice nightly--with only two weeks off--to more than 1,000,000 persons, culminating in a command performance before the King and Queen this month. Their entertain- ing miscellany of old songs and new jokes is booked up till the end of 1949 after which they hope to make a tour of Canada. If they do, countless Canadians who have emigrated from Britain during the last 20 or 30 years will remember these stars of yesterday who have proved themselves stars of today. There is Nelle Wallace, the mother-eve of all comic charladies in her elastic-sided boots, a bedrag- gled feather in her hat, doing the lively song and dance act she did 50 years ago. There is Talbot O'Farrell--Boer War veteran and former policeman --in smart grey topper, check trous- ers and white spats singing of "Paddy McCarthy's Ball" and the "Old-Fashioned Lady With Old- Fashioned Ways" in the silvery tenor Victorians knew. O'Farrell boasts of being 73 and tells lively tales of his tour of Can- ada in 1924. "I was overwhelmed by Canadian hospitality--almost sub- merged by it in fact..." G. H. Elliott of the flashing smile and rolling eyes was known in the early days of the century as "the original chocolate-colored coon." Today, as vigorous as ever, he still brings the house down with "Lily of Laguna" which he has sung so long it is almost his personal pro- erty. Gertie Gitana, still dark and viv- acious, sings the songs that made her famous with men on leave dur- ing the first world war--"Nellie Dean," "My Silver Bell" and other tuneful ditties. Ella Shields, suave and sophistic- ated in "Man-About-Town" clothes sings "Burlington Bertie" and "If You Knew Susie" as effectively as ever, TEMPER TIPS A} Nearly all children have occa- sional outbursts of temper and the wise parent deals with the problem carefully and gently.
