Enjoy the zest and splendid appearance that is the reward one receives for exercise in the aladiald The blood is the living stream that turns' the wheels of life. Without exercise, fresh air, nourishing food and restful sleep, these streams cannot function normally. They carry focd to every cell of the body, to every silky hair on your head. With active circulation, the tiny capillaries close to the skin surface exrand, place the poppy bloom on the cheeks, a giow that no commer- cial tint can precisely duplicate. The circulatory system is the heating plant of the body. It must be on the job, never lagging. Ten minutes of deep breathing in the open air will bring warmth to the flesh, a sense of well-being to body and spirit, The blood does repair work. Like a good doctor, it goes the rounds, making for health. It repairs fibers and tissues that are constantly un- dergoing a process of dissolution and renewals, While attending to its mercy calls, it picks up waste sub- stances, disposes of them through Dirinind by King Townes Syndsre, tote Activity is a law of life LE the skin, the lungs, the intestines and the kidneys. The red cells of the blood carry oxygen The deeper and fuller the breathing, the more oxygen is tak- en into the lungs. Shallow breath- ers nearly always have pale com- plexions. To overcome sluggish circulation, one should have at least one hour of outdoor life every day. Alternating hot and cold showers, followed by a brisk rubdown with a coarse towel, will help. One should drink plenty of water. Girls who work in shors and of- fices are likely to be cursed with the colorless complexion. If they can't get out of doors they should set aside at least fifteen minutes each day for calisthencis.

J New- ton, Vicar of Ascension Church, Blackheath. Indeed, he goes so far as to ad- vocate, in his parish magazine, the dropping from the alphabet of the letter "H" in its form as an aspir- ate. 1 i . He does not know why we re- gard & man who says "His hat" as being superior to one who says "'Is 'at': "Has Herbert had his hair cut?" is not so wise as he who says: "Azerbert addiz aircut." "It comes out almost as one word --and how beautiful it is . . . be- cause it is effortless and not self- conscious," declares the vicar. Pasy to say, yes. But beautiful? No. no, Mr, Newton!

Phone4692R Williams & Singer § 801Ritson Rd. S. Oshawa * OTP, SECT RR TIN New Waterloo Bridge | Masterpiece of Art No pomp marked its opening, but Lendon's new white way across the Thames is a masterpiece of art and engineering. Waterloo Bridge is so slender and graceful, despite its strength, that, backed by the river mists these autumnal days and scmetimes flanked by a stormy crimson sun its ethereal aprear- ance sets Embankment strollers staring. Ten years of controversy and in- decision preceded jt. Consternation ruled about 1921, when it was real- ized that the old bridge, named in 1816 in honour of the great victory, was sinking. Between 1820 and 1934 the fifth pier went down nearly 30 inches the sixth nearly 1 ft. 2 in, Lovers of the bridge fought to keep it, to have it propped and widened. Opponents urged that modern architects and engineers could create something lovelier than Rennie's masterpiece. They dubbed its renaming after the bat- tle a mere bit of publicity for the then private owners. Parliament refused a grant, The L.C.C. went ahead, built a tempor- ary bridge, shut the old one in 1934, demolished it in three more years, and began building to the design of 8ir Giles Gilbert Scott. The new bridge cost £1,250,000. Reinforced concrete is faced with granite below water and Portland stone above. It carries six lines of traffic, is 1,400 ft. long, and has five spans, each 238 ft. 120 ft. of the old ones. Figures in the Night (The New York Times) There is a venerable mythology of the stars, primarily Greek, which tags each constellation with a name and a story. This mythology is generally accepted, by tradition, But there have been other mythol- ogles of those same stars, other stories, other identifications. Stand on any winter hilltop for half an hour and you can make up your own mythology, and quite an ac- ceptable one, at that. Start with the Big Dipper and call it: the Great Bear, as so many do. That's a fair enough starting point. Now look off toward the east and find the five stars outlining Auri- ga, the traditional charioteer. an arrow head, really, a rough-cut stone point aimed at the Great Bear. Look still farther to the east and you find the hunter who shot it. He is traditionally known as Orion, and he is supposed to be armed with a club. You needn't stretch your imagination too much to see that he actually has a bow. You have to turn him around from his mythological stance, but that's easy enough. He is wearing a belt; we know that. But for us it hap- pens to be a belt of Navaho silver medallions. Above the hunter is Taurus, tra- ditionally the bull. For us he is a buffalo bull, and the little cluster of stars called the Pleiades marks his heart, where any wise hunter would aim. But Orion isn't hunt- ing the bull tonight. Another hunt- er, on horseback, indicated by the constellations Andromeda and Peg- asus, is after him. Mythology? BEven to the Greeks it was only talk, a story told to a willing listener. The mythology of the constellations is in the obser- | ver's mind, not in the stars them- selves, Neves a oth ray or Sher insect eventive in a closed room, but alw: 4 a.well ventilated one, ~~ SL against' t's | Tells How to Sing "Auld Lang Syne" People all over the world have been singing Auld Lang Syne for 150 years--and most of them have been singing it wrongly, even Scots- men, The original Robert Burns is quoted by Mr. W. A Nicholson, of Edinburgh, secretary of the Scot- tish Tourist Board. In "Take Note," magazine of the board, he writes: "While millions sing it, nine out of ten sing it wrongly. They know the tune, but they don't know the words." And Mr. Nicholson gives the right words. "Should auld acquaintance be forgot Hg A And never brought to min'; Should atld" acquaintance be forgot ® And days o' auld lang syne?" For more than a century heed- less revellers have sung the last line as: . "For the days of auld lang syne." And nearly everyone gets the ceremonial movements wrong. This is the right: way. "Ready!" says Mr, Nicholson. "The opening bar is being played. Form a circle and, as you would for a circle dance, hold hands at the side." You see? Up to now you've been crossing youn amms in front and clasping hands with those on either side of you. This doesn't happen until the last verse, by which timie you should be singing: "And there is a hand, my trusty fiere, And gie's a hand o' thine, And we'll tak' a right gude-willie waught : For auld lang syne." "Fiere" means friend and "gude- willie waught' a draught of good will, Collide in the Dark Both Are Surprised Walking through the darkened streets of Otley, Yorkshire, 24 tours after she had arrived in this country, 19-year-old Canadian-born Mary Woods bumped into a passer- by--it was her husband Leslie, who she thought was 22,000 miles away in Egyrg The last tin 2y had seen each other was when they were married at St. John's, Newfoundland, 18 months ago. Two days befcre she was told she could fly to Britain. &he cabled her husband's home: "Arriving to- morrow," only to be told on arrival "Leslie has been sent to the Middle East." Her informants did not know that 23-year-old Gunner Leslie Woods had been suddenly given demobilization leave and at that moment was arriving at Dover-- bound for home. Feminine Accent Stressed in Clothes New York: The accent is on the feminine expression of clothing, soft stand-up collars, little capelets. The tiny jacket which is a topper for dresses, and all forms of pleats are used with a restraint which well- dressed women favor. For example, skirt fullness may be a series of unpressed pleats, cthers at the side or back of the skirt. Rolled collars, balloon sleeves, boleros, decorative effects by match- ing rows of tiny buttons, contrasting collar and cuffs on light tone suits, tiers in skirts, real or simulated by deep tucks, are a few of the details which have been' brought into the mode by good designers, such as Suzanna Augustine, Hattie Car- negie, Sophie Gimbel, Omar Kiam and Charles Armour.

Synthetic aids have kept wo- men - looking younger, feeling younger, And just think! It is not so very long ago that it was be- lieved that rouge made a woman look like sin, A lot of water has run under the beauty bridge since those days, Smart women adapt their make-up to their personalities, If one has flair, is a lady of fash- fon, distinguished of appearance, she can get away with cosmetic murder, No so the shy, retiring girl. She has to soft-pedal. A bit too much face coloring and she will be out of character. The Make-up Artists Hollywood make-up artists per- form miracles, With powder pad, rouge, lipstick, eyebrow darkener, a smart hairdo they can make eyes look deep and alluring, * L J out ehange the shape of the mouth, make the face appear fuller or thinner, It is an art. They have changed many an ugly duckling into a swan, as you will realize if you chance to see photographs of some movie stars when they first appeared upon the screen, Age seems to make them younger, But give the make-up genius some of the credit, We learn from beauticians that if you have dark shadows under your eyes, the rouge should be carried slighfly into those areas, that a dash of rouge on a receding chin will help strengthen it, that rouge on the eyelids gives bright- ness and depth to the eyes, Color harmony jis all-important, Lip rouge should blend with cheek rouge and never be the most conspicuous note in tha facial composition, The woman who has prominent, protruding teeth should use a lipstick of natural coloring; a vivid one calls atten- tion to the defect. Fashion Flashes NOT 80 LONG AGO the alliga- tor bag was styled mainly for wear with sports or casual clothes, Now, with soft handling and gold plated metal frames, it is worn as a lux- urious accessory with rich afternoon fashions. A large pouch of honey- gold allegator is cartridge-pleated in the center and softly shirred at the ends to a gold-plated frame with a big lucite and gold metal lock. * + @ A NEW AND DIFFERENT LOOK marks the wide-brimemed, fairly flat- -crowned sailor when worn in the winter. Black satin is used for a handsome ' mid-season hat, with a wide inset of black shirred lace, bound in the satin almost forming the entire brim, The binding is fin- ished at one side with a little bow, casually tied. LS I BACK AGAIN is the pleated skirt so right for resort and spring wear. Silk chiffon, with a soft line plaid 'in gray, blue and pink, is used for a handsome frock, the skirt cut on full lines with unpressed accordion pleating. Short sleeves pick up the pleat theme, as does the flat, bow- tied collar. LOTS AND tots .] fur-trimmed fabric evening coats. A full-length mode] in oyster white woolen has a big collar of silver fox that con- tinues down and around in bolero effect. Sleeves have big silver fox cuffs, THE LOOK that : most appar- ent in smart afternoon frocks is the long-torso effect. This js achiev- ed in various ways. One frock of black silk crepe has a softly draped, front-dipping peplum which ties in a self bow in back, a nipped-in waistline and pencil-slim skirt, Stripes of powder blue faille and rayon are inserted at the deep square neckline and form flaring gauntlet cuffs on the bracelet- length sleeves. SLATED fof acheprance by the the younger crowd next Spring is the tricorne, which once was a dog- ager-type hat, Worn back on the head is a small tricorne trimmed with clusters of pin roses with fuch- sia velvet bows that make a bright color contrast to the soft gray felt of the small hat. LI BE, Looking ahead it would seem that the loose, boxy jacket will be most popular with the ydung crowd. A delightful teen-age suit, readied for Spring, is of men's gray woolen. The high-closing of the jacket, be- low a neat club collar, is accentu- ated by a triple row of tiny silver- ball buttons. Young Teacher Sent Murderer to Gallows Sixty-eight years ago the coun- try was hunting for Charles Pearce, double murderer and arch-criminal of the century. The police net was flung over Yorkshire and the Midlands, but still the murderer, who could change" his fegtures as easily as he could "crack a crib," continued his crimes. It was left to a shy young school teacher to bring the murderer to the gallows. The woman who caught Charles Pearce is still alive--and has just celebrated her 101st birthday. She is Mrs, Helena Bellow, of Fern- bank-road, Redland, Bristol. . It haprened on a winter day in 1878. "Everybody was talking about Pearce in those days," she said. "One night I was awakened by the sound of somebody stealthily trying the catch of my bedrocem window, I was terrified, although the window was strongly bolted. "Whoever it was went away, but as soon as it was light I looked out and saw a line of footprints. The police followed the footprints, and Peace was caught. Also '101 is Miss Ellen Cresswell, of Lewisham, London, England's oldest actress and contemporary of Lily Langtry. She received scores of telegrams and letters, and flow- ers from her actor "boy friends." Many Causes Exist For Pains In Chest By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, LD. SEVENTY.FIVE different cau- ses for pain in the chest are listed in the medical books. Thus, pa- tients suffering from this com- mon and often serious symptom capnot expect a couple of thumps and a few minutes' examination with the stethoscope to reveal the exact source of his trouble. As a matter of fact, correct deter- nmrination of the cause of chest pain requires not. only laboratory tests and X.ray examination, but seasoned judgment on the part of the doctor. Perhaps the moet frequent cause of, such pain is not disor- der within the chest itself, but strain or injury to the muscles which overlie it. In these cases, fortunately, diagnosis is easy, Extent of Injury Treat1ent depends "upon the extent of the injury, but, in many instances, merely strapping th: chest with adhesive tape to keep the movements of the muscles limited to some extent will re- lieve pain and allow the conditio to clear up, The : nlication of heat and gentle massage also may bn of value, There is a disorder known as pleurodynia which causes pain on one side of the chest, the pain being more common on the left side, The pain is made worse by deep breathing, coughing, or yawning. In this disorder there is also some tenderness in the mus- cle. Treatment is much like that for muscle strain, and the dis- order clears up without any com- plications, Bronchitis, or inflammation of the small tubes in the lungs, may be accompanied by pain which is under the breast bone and is par- ticularly noticeable durirg congh- ing. Spasm of the. esophagus, which leads from the mouth to the stomach, may also cause pain under the breast bone, but this is accompanied by vomiting. In this latter condition, diagnosis can l.2 confirmed by X-ray examination. ' Persons who have had pleurisy, which is inflammation of the lin- ing membrane of the chest, wall ard lungs, have recurrent attacks of pain over the lower part of the chest, This pain may be severe or it"may be just an ache. Sometimes it extends downward into the ab- démen. The pain is made worse by changes in the weather, or by the menstrual period and nervous and emotional disturbances, Certain Chest Pains Certain chest pains may actual- ly be due to disorders affecting the organs within the abdomen, such as gallbladder disease or ul- cer of the stomach. A spasm of the coronary arteries, which car- ry blood to the heart muscle , is a common cause for attacks of pain in the chest, Because of the many disorders which are responsible for chest pains, the patient should be care- filly studied when such attacks occur, All the various X-ray and laboratory examinations which are available should be used to determine the exact source of the difficulty because in each case treament depends upon the nature of the trouble, i WILTSHIRE. . . some farm- ers' wives are going off to. market each week with light hearts.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN 1, Make a resolution that you'll greet the New Year with a cheer . +. . by having all your Christmas thank-you notes written! You'll be proud of yourself, and you'll endear yourself to your friends. 2. It's fun to write a prompt thank-you note, for fresh and bright in your heart is the giver's kindness to you and your joy in re- ceiving the gift. And to spur you on to promptness, recall what a grim chore it is to write a too-long- delayed thank-you note, when your words have to waddle along after such lame-duck excuses as, "For weeks I've been meaiiing to write to thank you for your Christmas pres- ent, but I have been so terribly busy." 3. Equipment. Have "at hand" the pen most comfortable for your use. Good-looking note-paper, or semi-note, or leiter-paper, Don't cramp your style by using corres- pondence cards or other skimpy cards that give the impression that you're limiting the number of your words of thanks to fit the scant space, 4. Don't stoop to sending ready- made cards of thanks. They are a social pest, a plague . . . avoid them as;you would avoid a plague. To send your kind friends the printer's words of thanks is to cheat them out of your words of thanks! 5. Give your thank-you notes a charming and warm-hearted send- | off with a bow of appreciation for the thought behind the gift. Too many notes, I think, begin some- what like this, "Thank you so much | for the lovely evening bag you sent | me for Christmas," or "I love the | beautiful handkerchiefs you gave me." Here the emphasis is too quickly on the thing, not on the spirit-of-the-giving. On the otther hand, such a simple beginning as "How good you were to plan such happiness for my Christmas" takes the emphasis away from "value re- ceived." And this is doing what a thank-you note should do, writing from the point of view of the giver . .., first the thought, then the gift. 6. Write your notes with gusto. The more enthusiastic your words, the more your friends will welcome and cherish them. Mention the gift by name ,.. don't vaguely write about "your gift". It's an ex- cellent idea to keep the gift in front of you as you write, and then give with your enthusiasm about how beautiful or useful (or both) the gift is, and comment delightedly about special features of the gift. Satisfying words to make your | friend happy and proud that he or she chose just that gift. BEST TO HAVE FLORIST DELIVER CORSAGE Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am going to take a girl; my cur- rently "best girl", to a dance dur- ing the holidays. It's an important dance, aud I think I should send her a corsage to wear. Should I take it with me when I call for her, or have it delivered by the florist? Don Have the florist deliver the cor- sage to the girl's house on the af- ternoon of the dance. This will give her some time to plan the wearing of the corsage; Today when there is such an intriguing variety of dra- matic ways to wear a flower-acces- sory, most girls give much thought to which way is the most dramatic, the most becoming to them. If this how-to-wear-it decision has to be made after you arrive to take her to the dance, the chances are you'll be late for the occasion!
