PAGE SIX - THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1 1, 1947 | BEAUTY FOR YOU -- | | } By HELEN Every woman, no matter what her age may be, should have a few gay frocks to be put on when the day is grey and spirits are dull Clothes have a psychological effect upon all of us, though some of us may not realize it. A red hat can chase away the blue devils. It puts ginger in lagging steps. It makes a woman of fifty believe that there is life in the old gal yet. There are women who cannot wear black. They feel that they look old and faded, and they do. - No make-up removes the curse of these funeral draperies. Other wo- men put on a smart black frock, lay on the lip veneer, touch the cheeks with wild rose tints and look smart and youthful. Every- thing depends upon type, figure and conrplexion. One must get wise to these matters. They are import- ant. The selection of colors is an in- dividual problem. One way to find out what color is favorable is to note how you feel when you wear it. When out selecting a dress notice the effect it has upon the hair, the eyes, the complexion and the figure. It is surprising what colors will do to the skin. One shade may extoll its texture and charm, while an- other may drain it of every bit of coloring; this latter effect is es- pecially true of cold greys and some | tones of green and brown. From an aesthetic point of view, most men--and many women--are amazingly lacking in the art of col- or blending or in the choice of col- ors in relation to their fitness or bécomingness. Some blondes seem td have a special yen for tan, cream and drab tones that resemble the httes and tints of their own persons. These same individuals often clothe themselves in garments that pale and uninspiring in tone, in- stead of those that form' a con- trast. True blondes wear black with flhir; it brings out the gold of their hair, the delicacy of their complex- ions. Redheads, many of them séem to believe that brown is their Xa bet. It isn't. They look best in lack, navy or jade green. are | Do Not Indulge in Color Fear JAMESON A red hat can devils, L BR J Brunettes are inclined to overlook French blue, which is becoming to all of them. Gayly printed fabrics are enhancing to the dark-eyed lovelies. Cream tones are a good, so is white, if the complexion car- ries a little natural coloring. The cultivation of the color sense should begin early in life. Supply- ing the young and plastic mind with an appreciation of beautiful | colors should form an important part of early education; it. is as | beneficial as the enjoyment of good | books, fine pictures, appealing mu- | sic. 'This training will help a young | girl to develop an aptitude for self- | expression in dress. We don't like | the idea of every girl looking like the next one; it is fatal to indivi- duality of appearance: First Novel Sketches * War Crime Trials By The Canadian Press Lionel Shapiro, incurably ad- dicted to roving Europe as a for- eign correspondent, dropped 8 manuscript on the desk of his New ing and an hour later wag in a plane bound for Rome. His hurry to get back to Eu- rope, however, didn't cause him to lose his business acumen, Almost simultaneously with his publish- er's acceptance of "The Séaled Verdict," it was announced that he had sold the movie rights to Hollywood for a tidy figure some reports of the purchase prize ran to $754000. In "The Sealed Verdict" (Dou- bleday) the former Montreal gports writer has written an in- teresting story woven about the American prosecutor at a German war crimes trial who wins his case but is beset by doubts as to the verdict. Major Robert Lash- ley"s struggle with his conscience makes good Autumn reading -- | though the story moves on to an ending fore.rdained--and Shapi- . ro's deft presentation of United States army practices in occupied Germany hits home sharply to the American reader. Shapiro .knows well that of which he writes. He has seen Ger. many at first hand after partici- pation as a war correspondent in the Sicilian, Italian and western European campaigns, winding up in Berlin with the first American troops to enter the German capi- tal. He spent 13 months in occue pied Germany before returning to New York--for which he has for. saken his native Montreal -- to write "The Sealed Verdict." -- A graphic account of the ex- periences of Red Cross workers overseas is given in "Facepowder and Gunpowder" by Jean M, El. lis (Saunders), a breezy picture of the author's work in army hos. pitals in Britain and in the thick of the Canadian Army's campaign in France and Holland.

Civilians who sent Red Cross supplies overseas will appreciate the author's first-had story of {how those supplies were used. | Mrs. Ellis tells how she was gra- | tified to discover among them a contribution of her own Red | Cross group in Victoria, { One of the first Canadian wo- i men in uniform to reach France after D-Day, Mrs. Ellis tells of her rousing reception from Canadian troops, rangiug from "those aw- | ful wolf-calls" to the silent gra- | titude of badly-wounded men for { the mere sight of a Canadian girl, | 'The author's own part in the campaign must be read between | the lines of her praise for the | work of doctors, nurses and other | Red Cross workers around her, A man in a great temper once | met Socrates, and the philosopher | inquired the reason for such anger. | The man said, "I have just met a | friend, and saluted him politely, {and failed to receive a response." | "That is odd," said Socrates.

BUNDESEN, M.D. MILD INFLUENZA INFLUENZA, as we see it today, does not compare in severity with the influenza which swept -- over much of Europe and all of America in 1917 and 1918, taking a dreadful toll of life, Of late years the disease has been so mild that even the name has lost much of the dread attached to it in the years immediately after World War 1. Sooner or later how- ever we can expect another serious and dangerous outbreak. It seems definitely that this mild influenza of recent years is caused by one of two vir uses called influenza A and Influ- enza B/ A virus is the smallest of all dis- ease-producing organisms. While the influenza produced by the two influenza viruses seems almost iden- tical, the organisms themselves are different even to the extent of be- ing active in different years. Thus outbreaks due to Influenza A recur every two or three years, while those caused by Influenza B have four-to-five-year intervals, Symptoms of Influenza In an attack of influenza the pa- tient has more or less severe aching in the muscles and sometimes a dry cough, loss of appetite and headache. No treatment has as yet been dis- covered which will clear up an in- fluenza infection quickly. Neither penicillin nor the sulfonamide drugs seem to affect this virus. However, these drugs are often used during an influenza attack to ward off se- condary infections with germs. Vaccination It is possible, however, to vac- cinate patients for either Influenza A or B Infections, or for both. In- fluenza vaccine only gives protec- tion against influenza; it does not protect against any other respira- tory infections, such 'as colds or pneumonia, It has not as yet been determined exactly how long the protection lasts. Some believe that it lasts for only six weeks, Others think it may persist for from three months to a year. It is likely that there is some variation in the length of protec- tion in different people; even if complete protection is not obtained at least the disease is milder when an attack cccurs. Following Injections Following injections of influenza vaccine there may be chills, fever, and muscle aches which persist as long as a day. Aspirin often re- lieves the symptoms promptly. During an epidemic of 'influenza it is advisable that persons in dan- ger of expcsure to the disease have injections of the Influenza A and B vaccine. Persons who appear particularly | susceptible to the disease would do | well to consult their physicians about the advisability of getting in- jections of the vaccine at regular times each year, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS R.

GLAMORIZING -- Find the shade of lipstick most afraid to try + It is worthwhile to take an eagle's view of cosmetic counters now and then. Chemists who design and compound items to help the sisters to be pretty and attractive are continually making new offer- ings. No girl can afford to drop out of the pulchritude parade; she must carry the 'new look." Fash- ions are ever in a state of evolu- tion. One must keep informed. Perhaps you tire of the same old solor for the mouth portals. Pos- sibly, when you get a new frock the shade you are using starts a color fight. Why not, then, have several tints? Chgice of Colors There are rules about the choice of colors that work out pretty well. For instance, beauticians say that the lighter your skin, the lighter the lipstick should be. The darker your hair, tthe darker and richer tthe lip smear. Raspberry and wine shades, all those 'that are blue- reds, look better under artificial > + light than In the daytime. Choosing a New Lipstick By HELEN FOLLETT 4 : becoming to you and don't be new shades, Also, you have to be wary about them; They may clash with the color of frock or chapeau. On a cloudy day you can use & brighter tone than on a sunny day. Or is that splitting beauty hairs? Anyhow, an authority says so, and she should know. Professional Attention As movie stars have professional attentions from the most expert make-up artists in the world, it is an excellent idea to make a survey of the lips of the lovelies of the silver screen. You may pick up some information with. benefit to appearance, Making the lower lip full will make your chin look shorter. A hint to the girl with the long, thin face. Sharpen your lipstick to a 'flat- tened point. Use it to form an out- line of your lips, then fill in. Form a wide grin while doing that so the pigment will get into all the little crinkles, 'Mr. or 'Master' Dear Mrs, Beeckman: | How should I address the Christ- mas cards that I am sending to some very young boys, several of them nephews of mine. . .with "Master" or "Mr." before their names, or with just the name with- out a title? All boys, no matter how young, like to have their letters and cards addressed to "Mr." Although "Mas- ter" is correct for very young boys, "Mr." is just as correct. "Always write a title before a name on an envelope to a very young girl or boy. ! A P. Table Manners. . Questions About the Fork Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 1.

You will always be correct if you hold the serving spoon in the right hand, and the serving fork, as an accessory utensil, in the left hand. You insert the spoon under the piece of meat or fish, or under the serving of vegetable, or under the something-on-toast, or what- ever the food is, using the fork, held in the left hand (prongs down) as a balancing utensil, A Gift To Her Hostess Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My boy friend and T have been invited to Sunday midday dinner at the hice of a very dear friend of his family.

KARN'S DRUG STORE PHONE 78 {Opposite Post Office) Tr | == Movie Column By BOB THOMAS - Hollywood, Dec, 10-- (AP) -- The motion picture industry is worried plenty about ,the possi- bili.y of more outside censorship and is taking st:ps to prevent it. In the last couple of weeks Hollywouw has been making rap- id 'moves toward what might be considered putting its own house in order, Evidence: The banning of gangster movies; the firing of "unfriendly witnesses" cited by the un-American affairs commit- tie The rest of the job is up to the industry's unique self-regula- ting body, the production code administration, The P.C.A's trained staff checks the synopses, scripts and finished product of all films pro- duced by its members, The re- viewers have to be '""hep" to all kinds of slang, foreign and do- mestic, and even exchange the latest dirty jokes, purely for busi- ness reasons, Their censoring is guided by five volumes of regulations, ran- ging from 'abdomen' to 'zipper.' Npte: Zippers may be permitted in some comedy situations, but are generally taboo in bedrooms and parlors. The staff must also be aware of moral values. Screen wrong. doers must be punished specifi- cally for their wrongdoing. That is, a murderer cannot be acciden. tally killed by a train; he has to suffer for his crime. It goes even further: A crimin- al cannot say something moral in a picture, nor can an honest char- acter condone crime. The bad have to stay bad and the good good, The P.C.A, okayed "Forever Amber" because the film adhered | to the code. However, church condemnation of any picture al-! ways reflects on the whole indus. try and im the future the P.C.A. will probably discourage film purchase of 'sensational' novels, No matter how well laundered | they are for the screen, they al- ways bring criticism. | Whenever matters of a politi- cal nature arise in a script, they | are referred to higher echelons of | the motion picture association. This lose not happen often, since | all producers are in business to make money and the promotion of "causes" is not a good way of doing it. " Perhaps mow you can realize the many forces that limit what you see om your neighborhood screen, And you might be able to sympathize with directors and writers who constantly complain that their creative talents, are shackled by censorship, But their complaints shall have to wait, For the industry is tight- ening its own rules to prevent a much more severe censorship than it would impose upon itself, Salt Shaker Mystery | Solved at Last | What is the white dust which sometimes rises as you pour salt from the spout of a handy mod- ern container? | Most young housewives believe | it to be small particles of salt. | Older ones maintain it is corn- | starch, They are both wrong, re- veals R, M. Rowst, development | manager of C.LL.'s salt division, | The dust is basic carbonate of | magnesium, a fine white powder | added to salt to prevent it from | caking in wet weather, Viewed under a microscope, ta- ble-salt erystals appear as uni. form cubes, When the relative humidity is above 70 per cent, salt absorbs moisture from the air, resulting in an invisible film of brine around each crystal, As the humidity drops,' the film dries and the flat surface of un. treated crystals are cemented to- gether, When magnesium carbonate is added the salt crystals receive a | fine, powdery coating which pre. | vents them from uniting, One microscopic particle of this sub- | stance on each face of the crystal is sufficient tc keep it apart from | its neighbors. Adding cornstarch to salt was | an old home device used before the days of free-running salt, The action of the starch was similar to that of magnesium carbonate but it had several disadvantages, one being that starch itself even. tually became moist and was apt to ferment, For this reason large salt man- ufacturers sought other materials of which small quantities would coat large quantities of salt. Among the many tested, basic 'carbonate of magresium proved the most suitable, The powder is feather-light, harmless and so fine that, even when magnified many times, it appears only as minute white specks adhering to the salt crystals, It is these tiny particles which make salt pour freely in the dampest weather, When people complain of life, it is almost always because they 'have asked impossible things from it, ~--ERNEST RENAN Wife Preservers The old Southern practice of wars cgoked In 1 insures agaiat los of soluble nutrients. ion misery FOR MORE TENDER- LIGHTER MORE UNIFORM PASTRY (am FLO LEY PBELLS UR Specialists Debate On Infant Feeding Because child specialists frequent. ly clash in their views as to whe- ther a baby should be breast-fed or bottle-fed, the subject has develop- ed into a perennial argument which hag entered into many homes. The latest of such opinions which, incidentally, favors breast feeding, emanates from Dr. J. Harry Ebbs, senior staff physician at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. In this case there seems to be a worthwhile purpose in mak- ing known his views on the subject as it concerns the incidence among bottle-fed infants of infantile diar- rhoea, the mortality rate of which is alarmigly high. . Dr. Ebbs looked up the histories of 1,500 cases of the disease treat- ed at the Hospital for Sick Child- ren and found significantly enough that that "in not a single case was there a record of breast feed- ig. The disease did not occur among babies which were fed nat- urally. Further inquiry had shown that where breast-fed babies got infan- tile diarrhoea, they had suffered but mild attacks and usually 7 did not have to be taken to a hospital. Such a weight of evidence in the case for breast feeding should con- vince even the most skeptical mother that there is considerable merit in giving the baby his food the natural way. Of course, it is not inferred that every baby who is not so fed will be a victim of the disease, for thousands of infants have been bottle-fed and lived to be told about it. \ However, it does seem, from the information that Dr. Ebbs has un- covered, that in the debate of the bottle-fed versus the breastfed, the latter side has scored a good point, JER star-bright, heart- stirring gift an engagement diamond! .
