SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1950 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN In Jhe Home BEAUTY FOR YOU: ~~ OF IN Treatment for Oily Hair By HELEN JAMESOGW If the hair is to look its best every silky shaft should be on its own, not clinging against its neigh- bors. If an oily condition is present, the tresses cling to the scalp, waves weaken and disappear, end curls go y. TP wrtaln amount of oil is neces- sary for hair health. In the scalp are little oil gushers, called seba- ceous glands. When they go on strike the hair is dry, may break at the touch of the comb, When the glands overwork, sending out more of their lubricating fluids that are necessary, the hair appears lifeless, droops when you try to arrange it prettily. Excessive activity of the glands is promoted by an excess of fats in the diet, the medical men tell us. Cut down on cream, butter, fat meats and pastries and your top- knot will lose its shine and behave amicably, It is the sensible thing to find the cause of a trouble and re- move this combination, "If you are unhappy about hair that looks greasy, and if you do your own head-washing, change p¥ your shapoo. Go to a drug store or cosmetic counter, ask for a sham- poo compounded especially for oily hair. You will find a number of them., all high grade and satisfac- tory. Start the shampoo with a rousing brushing to remove surface dust. Brush the hair forward over your face. Bend over the bath tub, use the spray; a bath spray is more effective than the shower. If you are using a liquid soap, di- lute it one half with hot water. Pour a little over your head, rub briskly, distributing the liquid. Use the spray and repeat the lathering Cut down on cream, butter, fat meats and pastries. + » » process, On the second application the soap should foam like beaten egg white, The final rinsing should be prolonged. Keep adding a little water so the lather is thinner be- fore you rinse again. Fill the washbowl, add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, pour the water over your head. THIS WEEK IN BRITAIN .- British Artist Leaves for Banff AN OFFICIAL RELEASE A prominent British artist, Mr.collections, at the London Fashion Edward Bawden, will leave England by air on June 23, on his way to Banff. : This is the second occasion on which Mr. Bawden has been priv- fleged to take part in the Banff School of Fine Arts course. He is the first English artist to do so. After the course, he plans to paint some scenes in the Rockies before returning to England in the | | other thread to give fall. Horseplay at the Royal Tournament At the Royal Tournament, being held in London (June 7-24), the Household Cavalry's Musical Ride is again one of the most popular features. Crowds cheer as riders put their mounts through their graceful paces in the trot, canter and waltz. The loudest cheers, however, are reserved for a second "Ride", this one by the boys of Gordon Boys' School. The ride hag 64 "mounts" and as many "horsemen" all decked out to represent places associated with the school's founder, General Gordon. There are Arabs in flowing robes, Chinese and Egyptians. Horseplay is unlimited and any resemblance to the Household Cavalry's ride is purely unintentional. Gordon Boys' School was founded for the education of the sons of British officers killed in action. New House of Commons to Open in the Fall The new House of Commons which is taking the place of the | old House, destroyed by bombing in 1941, will be ready for occupa- tion in October. The furnishings for the new House have been sent as gifts from every Commonwealth country and from all parts of the colonial empire. Canada's contri- bution is the table for the House. The new building will be very mod- ern, with the best possible lighting, heating, ventilation and sound ef- fects. Mechanical Examiner Tests Motorist's Skill Two research workers at Cam- bridge, England, are playing an im- portant part in the campaign against automobile accidents. With the aid of a mechanical driving "examiner" they are busy testing the driving skill of motorists of all ages and types. The device looks something like two typewriters joined together. 'When it is at work a whole battery of ball-point is seen making strange marks on long strips of paper mov- ing over twin drums. There are ten of these pens, divided into two rows. Those in the front row record the movement of the clutch, the car's speed and its acceleration. The back row of pens record brake pres- sure, movements of the steering wheel and brake pedal movements. One pen in each row is a distance "marker, making a line every 40 yards the car travels. And so the reactions of every driver are re- corded with great ingenuity and thoroughness, and a permanent record of just how the car's con- trols are handled is made. After all this data has been carefully ana- lyzed by experts the driver's char- acleristics are tabulated in various categories. In this way, scientifically and with mathematical precision, these Cambridge research workers hope to find out why drivers of a certain age or temperament make certain kinds of mistakes in the same set of conditions. They are building up an index of driving errors and characteristics; ' sorting: out the motorists they experiment on into clearly defined groups and cate- gories; and finding out why drivers make mistakes and what can be done to cure them of these weak- nesses. London Fashion Fortnight (By Victoria Chapelle) Models for evening wear, appar- ently back to front, and tubular skirts so tight that mannequins had to walk with great care, were highlights in the Frederick Starke Fortnight. Back-to-front models included both short dresses and coats. Sleeves were long and necks in front were high but at the back there was a deep narrow slash almost, in some cases, to the waist. Exotic fabrics are seen in all the houses and cloque and matalasse materials are back for formal evening gowns. Shot taffetas and wools which are woven with an- similar ef- fects, and shot organza woven with a gold thread stripe are used in the Arthur Banks parade where the main colours are Naples Blue, rich peculiarly deep blue, Pink Cloud with a strong tinge of mauve and Veronese Green which has a hint of lime. Cape - revers on jackets promise to. be important and this line develops into a mild kind of Victorian pelerine cape on some of Arthur Banks' evening models. Guipure lace is used to trim some of these and, in the case of one in black, a gros grain effect is austere but charming. Horseshoe necklines on black gowns are some- times filled with white guipure and the halter neck seems in some houses to be superseding the strap- less line, although this is modified by means of pleated, fan-shaped motifs in the front of the shoulders and occasionally straps of halter come from the back and from a flat collar around the throat. The silhouette this autumn promises to be definitely figure narrowing and summer styles are developing in a greater fluidity ex- pressed by bursts of movement on a narrow line, sometimes at the back sometimes at the front and often at or below the knee, but always achieved without losing overall slimness. The moulded corsage is giving place to a more casual soft- ness which is vastly more flattering than last seasons' line. And on the whole, the technique of the 20's (conjured up as a kind of bogey | among women who dread the re- turn of the ugly, straight chemise dress with fatally brief skirts) is barely perceptible. Every straight line is broken sometimes by an enormous bow or a sash, by a sud- den flow out of a fluted hem, by a ripple of pleated tulle from the back or side of a skirt. Sashes are often inset so that the hipline re- mains narrow or are brought over the bust from the shoulders and then crossed to the side. Nor is there any hard and fast rule about the autumn silhouettes. There are plenty of fuller skirts and many jackets are narrowed from the shoulder to a nipped-in waist and from there widen to a shaped peplum. The fabric story from the British mills is an impressive one. Companion woollen cloths are for the first time woven together, one half of the width one material, the other half complementary but quite different. This is expressed not only in colour but often in the pairing of entirely individual weaves. And after dark, there are luxurious silks, satins, both soft and stiff and several fabrics with woven chenille stripes or spots have madé their first appearance, The Island of Pillars This summer for the first time in eleven years tourists going to Scot- land can visit the rockly little island of Staffa, On this island is Fin- gals Cave, known to all music lov- ers as the inspiration of Mendel- ssohin's beautiful overture of that name. Staffa, sometimes called "the island of pillars", gets its name from the towering and majestic basaltic pillars along its coast. The island, which is uninhabited, lies off the west coast of Mull and forms part of a chain of volcanic remains that can be traced from Skye to Ire- land, all of which are noted for their "peculiar pillared formations. At present three workmen are liv- ing the life of hermits on the island as' they prepare for the summer, when the steamer will stop there on its trip from Oban to Iona. A Physician Advises You By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. CAUSE OF BACKACHE Sometimes, the most thorough examination will not reveal the true cause of backache. The bones of the spinal column, the little discs that separate and cushion them, and the nerves which branch out from the great spinal cord all seem intact. The doctor can find nothing amiss and, hence nothing to treat. In situations like this, it is well to test the muscles, since many of those who suffer from pain in the lower part of the back have some weakness of the trunk muscles as well as shortening of their support- ing tissues. This muscle weaknc s often accounts for the backache which will'disappear if the muscles are strengthened by proper exercise. Muscle Weakness One test for muscle weakness is carried out with the patient lying on his back on the examining table, He is held by his ankles and ask- ed to raise himself to a sitting position without assistance. If he can do this, the muscles of the up- per part of the abdominal wall are satisfactory. If he cannot, it is evi- dent these muscles are not as strong as they should be. Another test is made by having the patient raise both legs to an angle of about 30° and to hold this GLAMORIZING :. Sweet -Smelling By HELEN position for about ten seconds. This will' test the strength of the hip muscles and those of the legs. Muscle tests have shown that many of the persons with low back pain have their trouble because of fatigue, which is chiefly due to weakness of the trunk muscles. Also, there may be some shortening of the muscles of the back in these cases. Such patients are helped by exercise for strengthening the trunk muscles. The second type occurs in persons who develop pain on sitting up after resting, These patients, too, have some tightness of the back muscles and are helped by stretch- ing exercises. They also are bene= fited by heat treatments, such as may be given by using diathermy, an electrical form of treatment pro- ducing heat deep in the tissues. Persons who have arthritis affect- ing joints inthe lower part of 'he spine belong in this group. If, after a thorough study by a physic.an, 110 other cause of back pain can be found, the test for muscle strength may well be carried out and, if weaknesses are found, they can be corrected by proper exercise. Questions and Answers ' EB.S.: My son and daughter-in- law both are RH negative. My daughter-in-law also has low thy- roid condition. What are the| chances of a normal pregnancy? Answer: None of the conditions described would interfere with nor- mal pregnancy, unless the thyroid deficiency is marked. If it is mark- ed, treatment with thyroid extract should aid in overcoming the dif- ficulty.

Don't fancy that bath salts serve only one purpose. Oh, mercy no! A teaspoon of these bath accessories, added to the rinsing water when you have laundered your lingerie, will impart a pleasing odor. It is nice to use some when you wash your hands. When you would a-travelling go fill an envelope or two with the salts, place them between layers of clothing in your suitcase where they will double as a sachet. You can use them to scent your living room.- Put a few of the crystals in a pretty open bowl, add hot water.

Queen Mary walked with interest through a tiny garden of peas, cab- bages and flowers, designed for fronting prefabricated houses. A rock garden was the contribu- tion of the oldest exhibitor, 83-year- cla Robert Wallace. As Queen Elizabeth posed for photographers, the King asked Wallace: "How long did it take you te do this?" "Ah, your Majesty, your father once waved his umbrella over my | garden and asked just the same question," was the answer. The King laughed. Keen gardeners, the King and Queen were also interested in the show of cacti. "We were given some in South Africa," explained the King, Practical-Minded He left the Royal Party, which included the Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Gloucester, to tour the implement section where he bought pruning saws, lopping shears and liner gloves, Key-note of every design this year was economy. One rock garden sbcwed how to include existing trees in the design. Design The most brilliant splash of color, comprised of massed azaleas was exhibited by Edmund de Roths- child to show how entrance drives can be made vivid. A novelty called Pink Bizarre is said to be a revival of the strezal.ed gillyflower of Elizabethan days. A Peony named Bowl of Beauty looks, when closed, like a pink bowl filled with Devonshire cream. One of the prettiest sights of the show was a tiny rose garden planted on a table with miniature roses less than a foot high. Women outnumbered men as spectators and showed interest in| the revival of herbs for cooking. Lectures were given on such little- white--flowered orris root. , known herbs as the Golden-Flower- ec Moly (a decorative onion), Apple mint, Eau-de-Cologne mint and white-flowered Orris Root.

Hollywood Highlights By HUBBARD KEAVY (For vacationing Bob Thomas) Hollywood--(AP)--If Spike Jones is right, the average audience wants to see the first fiddler fall into the bass drum, the -harpist bopped with a bat during her most serious mo- ment, and the tenor the victim of a belch, The sum of $25,000 a week, most weeks, is what Spike Jones of the musical nonsense eircuit is paid for entertaining, 'so he probably is right. The basis of the comedy in his musical depreciation revue is, he says, "what you would like to see happen." Thinking About TV Spike, who has made, the wash- board, the cowbell and the revolver instruments in his band, spends a great deal of his time wondering what will make people laugh. Like other entertainers, Spike is thinking about television. He has it pretty well figured out. He won't use any topical jokes "because I expect my films to be playing 10 years from now." To cut out the middle man and other costs, he will make h's own TV films and own them outright. The comedy formula will be the same -- audibly and vis- ibly funny. Just Nonsense "We can do so much on film," Spike explains, "For instance, I will have a Foreign Legion stunt. The officer commands the men to march and they walk right into a pool of water, All you will see after they disappear is their hats floating on the water. Then a fellow staggers along who is so thirsty he drinks the pool dry, and there are the men, standing where the pool was, 'drip- ping wet." This will be a prelude to "Cool Water" or "By the Falls of Minne- tonka." Just nonsense. Spike expects it to pay off be- cause, once: he starts TV, he'll give it all of his time, That's not because the work will be so interesting. It will pay more. 19TH CENTURY AUTHOR Novelist George Eliot's real name was Marion Evans.

Do homage with a gift, if that seems to you a natural and pleas- ant way of "remembering." But if this seems to you more suggestive of forced ' sentimentality than of. real sentiment, don't be persuaded to give a gift unless you are going to give it with a good grace. More significant than any gift is, in .the words of the founder of Father's Day, an "attitude of soul." Don't tarnish the day by doing or saying anything that will not contribute lo the bright ideal of this honor- ay. Father's day is a day for good thoughts, good words. And today's world needs these endearing anni- versaries of affection and honor! The perfect tribute made to Father's day is the message Gen- eral Douglas MacArthur sent to America in 1942: "By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact, but I am prouder, infinitely prouder, to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentialities of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son when I am gone will re- member me not from the battle but in the home repeating with him Who Art in Heaven." In passing on this inspirational torch of love and trust and hope to his son, General MacArthur be- speaks the love and trust and hope WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT .- Observing Father's Day? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN our simple daily prayer 'Our Father |. . . In. Jhe Lommuuuty in the hearts of all fathers. This great patriot's spiritual salute to fatherhood has become the Classic for Father's day . . . and deservedly so, for all *his stirring words are a masterpiece. The days that are set aside to pay tribute to human relationships can, if we will let them, touch deep springs of feeling and affection in our hearts. Father's Day, this honor-day 'of June 18th, is one of these heart-warming days. It has been said that "We can inevitably tell the quality of a per- son by the way that person speaks of his or her father." Certainly this is true of the founder of Father's Day, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, of Spokane, Washington, Mrs. Dodd revealed the fine quality of her mind and heart when she started the movement to set aside the third Sunday of June as Fa- ther"s Day. The movement is a tribute to the "attitude of soul" of Mrs. Dodd's father, Willlam J. Smart, a G.A.R. veteran, who had "reared" his motherless group of sons and daughters alone." Mrs, Dodd launched her idea in a petie tion sent to the Ministerial Assoe ciation of Spokane, urging them to speak from the pulpit, on the third Sunday in June, on "the importe ance of a father's place in the home and on the importance of the pro- tection of children." The National Council of the Young Men's Chrise tian Association joined with the Ministerial Association in enthusie astically backing Mrs. Dodd's idea and the dream of "the mother of Father's Day" was realized. Now the governors of most of the States in the Union officially proclaim the third Sunday of June as Fa= ther's Day. TIPS FOR TEENS :- By ELINOR Act Your Age! WILLIAMS Somebody once said that in the 'teens you're neither a child nor an adult. You're tired of being treated like a child, but are you | grown-up? Funny, the way some of us try to prove it. If you want to be considered an adult, why not be grown-up? It's easier than putting on a phony act and far more convincing to your family, friends and faculty. How? There are lots of qualities that prove you're an. adult. Here |are a few of them. . . to make your own: 1. Remember that you're only one of the family group, not the center of it. You have certain rights of privacy, etc., but so have others, Fit yourself into the group--as you'll probably have to all your life wher- ever you are<on a share-and- share-alike basis instead of expect- ing you, your needs and desires to come first, always rating special at- tention. 2. Remember that your mother and father are people. Possibly they're not always right, but they're not always wrong, either, They're doubtless trying to do their best in bringing up children, giving you a sense of direction. Put yourself in their shoes for a moment. . .Some day you'll probably have a family of your own. When you do, you'll want your children to remember that you're human and respect your opinions. Why not do as much fer your parents? 3. People who are contented with what they have are happy people. Have a sound sense of values, real- izing that clothes, cars and fine homes are nice, but the true mea- sure of a person is his or her mind and personality.
