TODAY, through caref and concerted effort, doctors are be- ginning to get at some of the fac- tors which account for chronic al- coholism. Those who have studied the problem most thoroughly be- lieve that tae individual afflicted in this way is an invalid rather than a sinner, and see the source of his trouble In an abnormal chemical make-up. Recently, this idea has gained ground through the treatment of a-number. of. chronic. alcoholics with glandular extracts. Smooth Skin Many young persons who are chronic alcoholics are slender, with soft, smooth skin and over-develop- ed breasts. It is thought that this type of physical make-up indicates a deficiency of secretiony from the adrenal glands located just above Hollywood, Feb. 11--(AP)--"The Metropolitan Opera Company is standing in the shadow of its old glory," says one of its former con- ductors, Richard Hageman. The musician 'wielded a baton at the Met from 1908 to 1937. Since then he has written and conduct- ed many notable film scores and is presently playing the role of a conductor in "The Toast of New Orleans." He paused to reflect on the demerits of his one time alma mater. "The Met is steeped in tradition," he said. "That's-+the trouble. It's i. antiquated. It insists on singing opera in the language it was writ- ten. That's fine for the linguist, but the average businessman just falls asleep. "All other countries translate operas so they cas be understood. In America, there is a lack of op- erative translators." lexion styling. . i High-handed., reckless 'methods | | ith facial highlights do not bring edifying results.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN The old method of getting as much powder on it as possible, then wham- ming it on your impertinent nose, has gone by the board. Who wants a nose that looks like a marshmal- fjow? You know the answer. What you do is put the first bit of frag- rant fluff on your neck, work up over the chin and along the neck- line. Then you tackle your fore- head, pat your cheeks and what's . left the nose can have. If you are given to the practice of using powder generously, you should have a camel's hair powder brush. You will avoid grinding the powder into the pores, a bad habit if there ever was one, as it inter- feres with normal functioning of J e skin as an organ of elimination. After the powder comes the syn- thetic blush, which should be placed high to play up the soul orbs, then a little blending with a special pad on which is the slight- est film of powder. It is when the rouge application shows an outline that the attempt to beaiitify be- comes a grand and glorious mess. The lipstick should have a broad flat point, so that the lips can be outlined carefully, Start in the cenre; draw lines toward either ter- minal.

Here a little brush will come in handy. You will find these items at the cosmetic counter. The selection of a becoming, glamorous color for the lips is sometimes a trial, since many shades are offered. Vivid tones have done a fade-away, more na- tural ones are in favor. Not only the complexion, but the eyes and the hair must be considered. The red-head, especially, must use her head, do some tall thinking so she will not flaunt lips that will detract from the glory of her flaming thatch. First Choice for Mid-Winter The rayon butcher-linen blouse shown at the left washes like the pro- verbial handkerchief. It is a Paul Dumont model. The cut-work yoke is embroidered in contrasting rayon thread. At the right rayon crepe fashions a lace-trimmed shirtwaist from Maison, France. The lace insért forms a yoke and matches the petal collar. Cheer Up Mid-W @Vith a Spanking * * inter Wardrobe One of the better ways to add a touch of freshness to your mid-win- ter wardrobe is through the use of white -- and every complexion re- sponds to the flattery of a white blouse. They not only give that well-groomed appearance under heavy winter coats but they are be- coming to every womagh regardless of her age. One outstanding feature of white rayon is that it always retains its original whiteness, a factor which is of primary importance from the standpoint of the wearer's satisfac- tion and pride. Also, it launhders well -- and easily, which adds to the serviceability of a garment which, in its price range, is well within the most rigidly controlled budget. Canadian fabric manufacturers are now presenting a wide selection in white rayon crepe blouses which ffer many unusual and interesting eatures such as fagoting, fancy- worked buttons, tiny stitched tucks and pert little bows. For the really dressy occasion there are blouses with frou-frou trimmings such as lace-edged frills and others with rhinestone buttons and peek-aboo openwork. Another style is the plainly tailored blouse complet. with medium sized rufgled jabots. Not to be forgotten when making your selection are the sturdy blouses of washable spun rayon such as the butcher-linen numbers illus- trated. ¥ One fashion trend to look for in browsing through your favourite shop for blouses is the new rayon sheers. Many of these are to be found in dainty tailored styles with small tucks, turned down collars and tiny buttons. The . tailorei plouse classics are now being shown jn rayon sharkskin -- a fabric which not only takes to tailoring with excellent results, but one which can be washed and ironed Li vue hour's time -- because rayon rkskin irons best while damp. So cheer up your mid-win'er wardrobe with a white blouse or two. You'll find they are just right for this particular time of the year White Blouse Fashion Flashes SIMPLE LINES mark many of the nicest dresses designed for wear later on. Silk chiffon, printed in bright multi-colored dots on an ombred background, is made up nicely with an easy bodice, cuffed short sleeves and a neckline that sel-ties into a big bow. Skirt is full, LE DREAM STUFF, that's what they are, those lovely dance dresses de- signed for deb and sub-deb parties. Layers of pale blue and white net makes a floor-length dress. The skirt # full and the strapless bod- ice is covered with soft, curling blue and white ostrich plumes. LSE SE NEW NOTIONS--and clever they are, too--mark some of the impor- tant new hat collections. A medium- sized sailor of natural exotic straw has two eyelets punched into the brim in back on either side, through which are drawn narrow black sat- in ribbons to wear tied at the nap of the neck--nice with low- necked dresses. LTE v FAVORED FOR EVENING wear is the well-fitted carry-all, which, when enclosed in its own carrying case, complete with handles, looks like a beautiful centre for a hand- bag of velvet, satin or suede. AE, A BRIGHT SPRING is prophe- sied for a jacket of American broadtail processed lamb dyed in lovely shades of blue that range from almost midnight blue to quite light navy. Navy blue American broadtail is used for a handsome little jacket, a button-tabbed cut- away, cut on straight, boxy lines. It is lined with bright red taffeta and the fur can be seen through the gold, "bird-cage" buttons.

In this condition, there of blood sugar. Alcoholism is likely to develop at an early age in per- sons with this type of physique un- less they exercise strict self-con- trol. In the second type of chronic alcoholic, part of - the adrenal glands, which have a role to play in the body's use of sugars, have been injured by the prolonged use of alcoholic beverages. The damage to the glands may be made worse by worry, grief, or other emotional disturbances. Low - blood sugar is a constant condition in these persons. This low blood sugar produces a craving for alcohol, with symptoms of weakness and faintness. As more alcoholic beverages are used, the blood sugar is still further reduced. The sugar in the liver is decreased and fat is deposited. It has been found that by giv- ing injections of the adrenal gland extract, the whole process is revers- ed. The blood sugar is raised and the action of the liver is improved. All of the other symptoms gradual ly. subside. Gland Extract The injections of the gland ex- tract are given twice a week and then weekly as long as needed, sometimes for several months. The diet should be high in fat with moderate amounts of protein such as meat, milk, and eggs, and a reduced amount of sugar. This is done to keep the blood sugar level from changing too rapidly. It would appear that: this type of treatment for the chronic alco- holic may be of great value. J POWDERING one's nose is business and no mistake. At al- most all moments of crisis--ex- cept perhaps when the house is afire--a woman flees for the pow- der pad or snakes it out of her purse. But there, should be a limit to that cosmétic diversion. A shining nose should be puf in its place, be made to take on the duil finish. To do this little thing it is necessary to make a pilgrimage to the cesmetic counter, purchase a skin tonic or astringent that will act upon sebaceous glands that are bent on working over-time. Soap isan oil fighter, as we all know. It should be used lavishly, a thick lather rubbed into the flesh at night. Equally important as a part of the treatment, it should be completely rinsed away, first with warm-- water, then with cold. If the slightest film remains the skin will seem®oilier than ever. After a gentle drying, apply the tonic lolion or astringent. Put it on with QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS MJ.: TI have ugly red marks around my ankles.

Few singers even try to act. Their acting is like the exag- gerated movements of a silent mov- fe." Unlike the movies, the Met has suffered from its star system, he claimed. "The public has been al- lowed to believe that unless they can hear certain stars sing an opera, it's a waste of time. "The money demanded by opera stars drains off the funds. So the company is forced to use the same old costumes asd sets it has been using for years." No Practice The trouble with American opera, | he went on, is that it is done too hurriedly. "They rehearse an opera a few times. and let it go at that. The play for a couple of hours and' then they get restless. In Europe, they practice all day. "Young singers in Europe get their practice in small companies before they are ' thrust into. big parts, but the Met pushes the fledgling out immediately.

Is it proper for the bride to wear a finger-ip veil when she is wearing a wedding gown which has a train, or should she wear a veil that is as long as the train? 2. What materials are appropriate for the bridesmaids' dresses for an early-Spring ~wedding ?--Maureen. 1. Even when the wedding dress has a long train, the bride may wear either a long or short veil and still be formally dressed.

Or, if the bride prefers, she may wear a short veil The Experts Say By KAY REX Ottawa, Feb. 9--(CP)--The sin- gle girl in the one-room apartment and the business couple in the two- room flat have one problem in common--how to cook regular meals without ending up with a mass of left-overs in the ice box. Probably that is what has moved the nutrition division of the Dom- inion health and welfare depart- ment to publish "Meals for One or Two." The brightly illustrated booklet is packed with hints on everything from what the well-dressed Kkit- chenette should contain, to a basic menu pattern for every day in the week. And the that "a dutrition experts - say little thought given to planning can make the prepara- tion of varied nutritious meals a pleasant hobby as well as an aid to health and vitality." For the small kitchenette the booklet suggests a double-boiler-- it saves 'cooking space. It also should contain a pressure-cooker-- saves time and heat. Covered jars also are necessary for staple gqgods, as well as a coffeepot, a Irying pan, an egg beater, The experts evidently figure the cook can get along quite well with- out a rolling-pin--at least this favorite domestic item isn't men- tioned in the booklet. Hints also are given on how, much food to buy for one or two persons, Rations List ~ Half a pound of cold sliced meat is enough for three servings three to four servings can be obtained from half a pound of cottage cheese. A 28-ounce can of tomatoes is enough for six to seven servings;, and it's possible to get 24 to 28 slices from a 24-ounce loaf of bread When cooking, the experts sug- gest putting the vegetables in the fame saucepan to save' space and fuel. Those requiring the longest cooking should be put in the pan first. Pudding can be made in the top of a double-boiler while vegetables cook in the bottom. Left-over vegetables may browned in the frying pan, cream- ed, or served with cheese sauce. Left-over beets may be pickled in vinegar. be The care given fruits and veget- ables in storage may be the decid- ing factor as to whether they re- tain their full food value or not Health department experts say fresh fruits and vegetables must be stored in a copl dark place. Brui- ses, warmth and light are harmful to them. ---------- NO BETTER WAY For sheer flavor there's no better way to prepare potatoes than bak- ing them in their jackets.
