MONDAY, JULY 5, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Balanced Diet Benefits Skin By HELEN JAMESON Cosmetics are a blessing, as ev- ery woman knows. Creams give moothness to the skin; the make- b box produces ruby lips and love- y synthetic blushes. If the effect is to be pleasing, the skin itself must be in a healthy condition. If the complexion is sallow, dingy or too pale there is a physical reason for it, no artifice will hide or dis- guise it. Make-up helps, but it does not cure. It"is well for a woman to keep herself informed concerning the ef- fects of faulty health habits. We are getting a better understanding of basic beauty. We know that health and vitality are the first re- quirements if the skin is to be of fine texture, have attractive col- oring; if the hair is to be abund- ant and lustrous; if fingernails are to be delicate and rosy. Nutrition is of first importance. The woman who goes on a freak diet, hoping. to reduce, courts 'wrinkles and sagging tissues. It is possible to lose weight without ill effect upon facial fibres.

Fool-Proof Recipes on Cans, Boxes Allow Housewives 10 percent Error New York.--(AP)--Women, said the home economist, can't or won't follow directions. This may be no news to men, but it is a thorn in the side of the food industry. All over New York City, highly trained cooking experts work at pretending to be average house- wives. . They develop recipes, simple re- cipes that any cook from the tyro to escoffier could follow with suc- cess. The recipes which finally appear on flour boxes, on can wrappers, in advertisements, represents thous- ands of dollars, The most element- ary have been tested and retested, tasted by experts and just plain hurgry people. In their final forms, most recipes provide a margin for errors. That's for the cook. The house- wife who has a "quick" stove, 'the kitchen artist with' a heavy hand in condiments, the woman who thinks she can measure with her eye as well as with a measuring cup. "We invariably allow 10 per cent on each side for error," one recipe developer sald. "Otherwise we don't use the recipe. Reclpes that call for exact measurements are not for us."

The same batter is baked in six ovens in six "cone sumer kitchens" under varyihg de- grees of heat. If the cake is-pala- table under all conditions, it has a chance to join the elect recipes. A consumer kitchen, incidentally, is like your own, with no fancy gad- gets, Carefully Analyzed 'The six cakes are inspected and tasted by the experts, analyzed for crumb, icing, lightness, moisture, staling qualities. Then the final test, the eating by non-experts. These are called "unconditioned testers." Sometimes when a new recipe is on fire, the whole staff from board chairman to office boy is called in to taste and report. Recipe ideas come from all over. People send in their own or family favorites. Home economists start off with an oldie and give it a new twist. Stenographers report when they've found something new and different. An advertising ex- ecutive accidently discovered a new way to prepare tapioca when he was stuck in the kitchen by a sick wife and two hungry children, A man in West Virginia wrote in about his favorite devil's food cake. That one caught the expert's eye because he mixed the ingredients in a double boiler. It was tested, the quantities of in- gredients shifted around in all sorts of ways. It was made with a double boiler and without one. After 150 tests, a modified version was ap- proved. In consumer kitchens they don't use fancy gimmicks. If it's a cake, the cook pokes it, looks at the way it has pulled away from the side of the pan, jabs it with a toothpick. That's the way people do it in their own homes. Predicts Revolution In Ladies' Underwear Hollywood--(AP)--You can turn the page, men. This shouldn't in- terest you, It's just about a fashion prediction that women will be wear- ing skin-tight underwear beneath transparent dresses by 1950. (Go on now men, turn the page). It's film designer Elols Jenssen doing the predicting and she claims, with apparent seriousness, that "fashion has been enslaved by wo- men's underwear." Miss Jenssen announced her be- lief that slinky, full-figured tights for winter and thigh-length shor- ties or leotards for summer will re- place panties, step-ins, brassieres and girdles, The tights, she avers, will be in shades of shocking pink, jet black and flesh tones. She goes on to predict that peek-a-boo transpar- ent dresses--filmy and wispy--will be worn over the fancy tights. "Let's face it, women's under- wear is gosh-awful," said the 23- year-old movie designer. "A stock- ing attached to a garter belt is re volting. Your contemporary wo- man with a dozen ijtsy-bitsy un- mentionables is as much a martyr to style dictates as grandma was to her painful corset. Skin tights will free style from the fetters of ridi- culous, ugly underwear." (Okay men, you can turn the page now.)

BUNDESEN, M.D, ULCERATIVE COLITIS ONE of the most challenging dis- eases known to science, ulcerative colitis, has so far defied all at- tempts to find either its-causes or its cure. That is not to say that nobody with this disorder gets well or that treatment accomplishes nothing. Far from it. But as is always the case where the exact cause of a disease remains undis- covered, no completely satisfactory form of treatment has yet been worked out, Colitis simply means information of the colon or large intestine. In ulcertaive colitis, sores, which can be plainly seen during an examina- tion with the protoscope, form along the walls of the bowel. The protoscope is a tube with an elec- tric light bulb on the end of it. Different Opioions From time to time a good many different opinions have been ad- vanced as to why certain people should be afflicted in this way. Some experts believe infection may be at the root of the trouble, but no germ that is definitely respons- ible has been found. Others think that perhaps the condition may be due to allergy or over-sensitivity to some food, but this theory, too, re- mains unproved. Nervous disorders and deficiencies in the diet are thought to play a part in bringing the condition about, but here, also, the evidence is too scanty for a ver- dict of guilty. i The patient with ulcerative coli- tis has many bowel movements a day. The movements contain blood and mucus. Attacks Occurr Many patients find that the at- tacks occurr . following excessive physical or otional strain, Pa- tients suffer\from tiredness and mental depression and often devel- op anemia or lessening of the col- oring of the red cells in the blood. So far as treatment goes, the giv- ing of injections of whole blood in- to the veins is most helpful. Vita- mins may assist in maintaining the nutrition but, since these may be poorly absorbed from the intestine, it may be necessary to administer them by injection into a vein or under the skin. - Diet Important The diet is important and should be. free of irritating or highly-sea- soned food, as well as bulk and roughage. It is necessary to make sure that enough protein is suppli- ed from such foods as meat, milk and eggs. Often, such patients suf- fer from poor appetite, and it is difficult to get them to take the necessary amounts of foods. If such treatment does not bring about improvement or the patient continues to get worse, operation may be necessary. It would appear that surgery is required in about four out of ten cases. The operation usually employed is one known as ileostomy. is consists of making an opening from the small intestine through the abdomen wall so that the large bowel may be washed or irrigated {from time to time ane Elven an op- rtunity to rest or heal.

Is there anything that will get rid of the condition? Answer: Athlete's foot is a chron- jc condition requiring expert care and strong drugs which, if used in the wrong way, might irritate the skin and make the disorder worse. For this reason, it is important that any preparation employed for this disease be used only under the di- rection of a physician. You should consult' your physi- cian concerning proper treatment in your case. Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood-- (AP) -- Quotes comments: Robert Montgomery, telling why he hesitates accepting a war film for which he was announced: "The script was written during the war and needs a thorough re- and during wartime are necessarily re- cruiting posters. Nowadays, such films would look silly on the screens. In the post-war period, we can can show the weaknesses of the military services, and by giving a more accurate view, we show their strength." Comment: That explains why the war films made in 1941-46 were generally Pos divena, 30 matter how stirring they seemed. The best artistic effort about a war comes in the postwar era, when writers can view things with clear eyes. This can be hoped for the news wave of Hollywood war films --"Command Decision," "Fighter Squadron," "12 O'clock High," ete. Some of them will point out the er. rors of the brass, which would not have been permitted in wartime. Have To Be Careful Betty Hutton, on why she refused the "Ruggles of Red Gap" remake: "You have to be very careful these' days. The public is shopping. One bad picture and you're cooked." Comment: As sage Miss Hutton points out, movie audiences are get- ting toughter, They want their money's woriy from a theatre tick- et and when they get stung on a flop, they blame it on the star of tae film. James Stewart, on why he has worked so hard since he left the army: : "Competition is plenty keen out here. There are lots of guys after your place, You can't let up for a minute." Had Rough Time Comment: Jimmy had a rough tiae getting back to his pre-war position, Despite his fine war rec- ord, the public isnt too interested in him and his first post-war film failed to show a profit.

U.S. Women's Bureau Pressing for Equal Pay By SIGRID ARNE Washington--~ (AP) --Thirty years ago the United States govern- ment up to its ears in the First World War, found to its combined male amar2ment that women made pretty good workers, even in gun factories. So on July 8, 1918, the gentlemen asked a group of ladies to organize a "women-in-industry" committee to advise men how to get women into factories. Two years later the committee be- came the Women' Bureau of today --hbut only after Congress had swept over the fine flower of womanhood going into commerce and industry. President Woodrow Wilson signed the bill which set up the Women's Bureau in July, 1920. He got the bill onlysin the 11th hour of the 66th Congress which, incidentaaly, veted $250,000 for congressmen to mail free seeds to constituents against $75,000 for the Women's Bu- reau, which was supposed to better the conditions of 5,000,000 working 'women. . The second World War came along.

Comment: None. * of uniforms, thanked its stars for the Women's Bureau. American women were still un- derpaid, and the Women' Bureau still got pennies compared with other bureaux. But its staff jumped to their guns and issued a rain of pamphlets to show men how to employ women in factories. By 1943 the employer who needed more help had to hire women. This "fine flower" rose to 19,000,000 workers. . . Women workers now "have drop- ped back to 17,000,000. The Bureau reports that 80 per cent 'of them have to work. They're either sup-/ porting themselves or themselves and others. The Bureau's program was laid down by its first and, until recently, only director, Mary Anderson. She was a slightly cynical, extremely wise women who had spent 18 years in a shoe. factory. She gave over her job recently to Frieda Miller, formerly New York's labor commis- sioner, who take the same approach. Over the years, reports turned out by the Bureau have wrung a few reforms from men. There now are equal pay laws in seven states for instance. Only 13 states now deny women jury service. Most states permit women to handle their own property. Women have the vote by federal law. Today the Bureau is concentrat- ing on equal pay all over the U. K. It has its troubles, however. The House of Representatives' ap- propriations committee recently killed funds for the six field offices the Bureau had through the coun- try. A GOOD CHOICE for country wear, for city prints, for informal coun- try club dance frocks is the linen duster. Beautiful in palest pink, light green or lemon yellow is a pure linen coat cut on duster lines, full in back, with three button closing, notched lapels and big flap pockets. Seamed back vent unbuttons to take care of full skirts, LA I J NICE THOUGHT for an invalid of convalescent, or just plain lazy breakfast-in-bedder is a cool, pret- ty bedjacket. Something different is a bedjacket in embroidered or- gandie, ribbon-run at the square yoke-line and at the cuffs of the sleeves that are puffed below the sloping shoulder. V * DRESSING UP utilitarian terry cloth- is a good idea for practical beach wear. A nice beach robe is of white terry cloth with wide cuffs of white polka-dotted red silk shan- tung for the wide, three-quarter length sleeves. Small colar and high, motched lapels, dolman shoulder and a big patch pocket are other details. LS BE MANY SMART SHOPS report that they are busy with orders for nice new capelets evolved from fur coats that are too short to be long and too long to be short. So, the idea is to make a very smart, up- to-the-minute caplet or sling cape that should have many uses. Gen- erally there is enough of the coat to design a like-new little fur. NO MATTER whether the look is so-called "new" or old, the fine suit, fashioned on classical tailored lines, goes on and on. In fact, high-priced tailors report that they are way behind in orders for this staple of the well-bred wardrobe. Slim of line, meticulous in cut and tit, the favorite is still the one- button jacket with notched lapels. Skirts are slim and moderately flared. WE'RE FOR IT, this idea of fine- ly styled bazs and washable white leather. White elk is used for such a bag, a medium-sized dzep vanity type with gold kidskin piping.

COAXING OR CO-OPERATION Many parents who have trouble teaching their children to obey are guilty of bribery and coaxing, na- tional healt authorities state. Parents should never bribe or coax a child to do what he is told. This is bad because the child should learn that obedience is his own im- portant contribution to. the well- being of the family. If parents use bribery, the child will soon realize that he can bar- gain witia them, The coaxing meth- od is an admission of weakness and is an unfair appeal to the child's sympathy. He will soon tire of it. When you discover a wallpaper blister, fill the eyedropper with liquid glue.

Here's one like that: "Dear Elinor: "I am a freshman in an all-boys' high school. I have no girl friends and do not know any of the girls around my neighborhood. How could I get a girl friend?" First, get better acquainted with boys in your school. Invite them to your home and go to theirs. Enjoy sports together -- baseball, tennis, bowling, swimming, a hike, etc. Let them know you want to be friendly by suggesting vacation doings to some of them after you find out what sports and pastimes they en- joy most. If you don't know how to play tennis or bowl, ask one of them to help you learn; youll have fn while doing it--and get better acquainted, When you know them better, some of the boys will intro- duce you to their sisters or plan double dates, including you and the girl for you to meet. Next semester, investigate school organizations . . . clubs, orchestras, etc . . . and find out about mem- bership in the ones that interest you most. This will also help you to know the boys better, leading to feminine friendships. Suggest a double-date for a movie to a boy who knows a girl who has a sister or a friend who would also like to 80. : Look up young people's organiza- tions: in your church or community .. . tha ones that include both bops and gins . . . and attend one regu- larly. If there's a 'teen centre near your hom, this might be another possibility. Do you kaow how to dance? It's time you leaxned. If it's not poss- ible for you th» take a few lessofis, get some of your friends or class- mates to teach you the basic steps and do him a favor in return, then suggest adouble «ate with a girl who would be williv'g to go dancing and perhaps give you a little more help in return for a movie date or two. How about hobbies? Interests like model-building, photography, science magazines or beoks, music or gardening help to widen friend- ships and a part-time smumer job would help you meet both boys amd girls. £ For help with personal preblems, write to Elinor Williams at ths pa- per, enclosing a -stamped, seli-ad- dressed envelope.) us Kl WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT A Department Store Shower? . By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Yesterday a girl friend of mine | and I drove over to lunch in an inn in a charming little town near here (our town also is a little town), and after lunch we went to the local five-and-ten to buy an article we'd heard they again had there. When we entered we saw a group of girls, I should say about seven or eight girls, having a merry time following one girl who was choosing articles and doing 'all the buying. We asked about this group and our salesgirl said. "Oh, that's a shower or that girl who is choosing the articles--she's to be married in two weeks." My friend and I were par- ticularly interested, because we have been planning to give a shower for a friend of ours. Have you heard of this kind of shower--if so, will you please tell us what the idea is? Amy A. You probably remember the Five- | and-Dime Shower--to which the guests brought presents not cost- ing cver ten cents? (Or sometimes it was called the FiveandDime- Nothing-Over-Twenty -Five-Cents Shower, with gifts in that price range.) Today's "Dime Shower" is an outgrowth of this--except that it is the guest of honor, the bride- to-be, who chooses the gifts, instead of the guests gringing the gifts. Each guest is told to bring a certain number of dimes to the shower--the dime-gift may be enclosed in an at- tractive envelope with an appro- priate picture or drawing or decal- comania on it, or otherwise inter- estingly "packaged," the collection gathered together at the shower, given to the bride-to-be, and then the group goes to the local or nearby Five-an-Ten, and follows the ! ~uest of honor around as she chooses radgets for her home-to-be. It's un-for-all--like the fun you saw those girls having yesterday. Prac- | tical, too, especially now when so many gadgets are reappearing, and new ones being made. This same kind of shower can be given t00, of | course, and often more rewardingly, in the housewares department of a local department store, with the dimes (or quarters) concentrated on perhaps two or three gifts chosen by the prospective bride. Dear Mrs. Beeckman: (1) This double wedding is to be a small, simple wedding--no bridesmaids or ushers. The brides, who are twins, are each to have a maid of honor. Would it be proper for the maids of nonor to wear gowns of entirely different design and of different color? (2) About the invitations. Should there be one invitation announcing both marriages? Or should the twin brides have one for their relatives ani friends and should each bride- groom have one for his relatives and friends? . (3) I think there should be two wedding cakes. What do you think? (1) Yes; the maids of honor may wear dresses of different design and color, but there should, of course, ke general harmony in both the de- signs and colors. (2) There should be only one form of invitation--and all invitations (and onnuncements, also if there are to be announce- ments) are paid for and sent out by. the parents of the twin brides. Each bridegroom and his parents should give their lists to the par- ents of the brides. (3) I agree [3 {with you that there should be twe | bridal cakes--so that each bride and | bridegroom may cut, together, the | first piece of "their" cake. FACING AN INTRODUCTION By MRS. BEECKMAN Your facial expression--or "lack of it--when you say "How do you do" in acknowledzing an introduc tion will either incline people 'to like you and want to know you better, or will make them lose ih terest in you or in knowing you. Watch it--especially on your vaca- tion, when you are meeting new people and want to make a good impression, a good first impression. HOUSEHOLD HINT House dresses that are worn around the armholes or are too short even for an early trip to the market, will serve a long time as aprons. Cut away the sleeves and deepen the armholes. Lower the neckline and vou will hove a. eond coverall. If the dress is a front opening style, turn it around. A two-piece cotton whose jacket is beyond repair will do as a half- apron. Take off the waistband, cut the skirt vo the back, hem the sides and shir the waist on the front of the band. If vou can't get ties from the jacket, put gripper snaps on the belt. © Milk is packed with goodness-« vitamins--minerals--protein-« daily needs that help keep you fir.
