It is surpris- ing how few voices are attractive, have musical qualities. It seems senseless that, in the pursuit of charm and pulchritude, more women do not pay attention to this subject. Th: poor voice can be corrected; a pleasing one can be developed; bad | voeal habits can be overcome. Ab any university oue can join a class | on training tne speaking voice. Tones, as well as words, express character. Listen to the voices you hear around you and note your response to each one. A nasal twarg will be found hritating and repellent. Shrillness will twist your nerves into knots. Mumbled speech wil} prove a strain on your hearing, as you must be alert to catch every word. The enforced low-pitched tone, kept on one key, is monotonous and anything but pleasing. Atllec- tations of speech do not merit charm laurels. : When you get up in the morning, how do you greet the members of your family? Do you give Liem a cheer "Good Morning" or a dismal "hello"? Don't thing they arent sensitive about such matters. We ali are. A waim, friendly greeting will help the members of the family to start the day right. : If you have reason to believe that your voice doeg not qualify, you can take off the Trough edges by following -a few simple rules. Practice deep breathing as often as you have time. Good posture is important. Stand tall, abdomen in and up, chest high. Inhale through the nostrils and exhale through the lips. Force all the stale air out of our lungs. y ing a scale on the word "oh." If you have to take breaths as you go up and down the scale, do so, but focus the tone forward ih the mouth at the front of the pal- | clearly; space your words neatly.

Sing each note as accurately as you can and keep iae fone full. Take a long breath and exhale, saying "ah" in a long sigh. Then, in your normal speaking tone, begin the same way, but start the "ah" quietly, increasing the tone until it is loud.. Gradually decrease it until it trails off in a whisper. The voice must not quaver and the progression from soft to loud to soft ag in must be smooth and even. Many voices are unpleasant be- cause they are pitched too high; others are disturbing because too much volume is used. Enunciate * Hollywood (AP) -- Gloria Swan- son, Bette Davis, Jose Ferber and "All About Eve" are winners of this year's award awards. What--You don't know what an award award is? It's simple. It's WHAT SHOULD | DO ABOUT:- Order for Wedding Processions? By MRS CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When the wedding party for my formal church wedding consists of maid of honor, one bridesmaid, best man, and two ushers, what is the order for the processional and recessional? Is it really proper for me to have only one bridesmaid? And, if so, in the recessional should she walk alone or with one of the ushers? FT. It is entirely proper for you to have one bridesmaid if you wish to. The processional: first, the two ushers, walknig together; next, the bridesmaid, walking alone; next, the maid of honor, alone; and last, you and your father. The recessional: first, you and the bridegroom; next, the maid of honor, either alone or most awards. In this that's quite a ting the award-happy town, distinction. The awards for film performance came from far and near with these total results: Bette Davis ("All About Eve") and Gloria Swanson ("Sunset Blvd.") tied for honurs in the fe- male division, with four awards apiece. Also, they tied for a fifth award with Judy Holliday ("Born Yesterday"). That was the Asso- ciated Press poll of Hollywood cor- respondents. the Army ranks higher, and that in England the Navy ranks higher. "B" insists that the reverse is true. Who is right? 5 A and B. "A" is right. In America the Army | ranks higher, because it was es- tablished first. In England the Navy ranks higher, because it is the award that goes to those get-| Miss Holliday had ancther award of her own, and sincere honors were | also scored by Betty Hutton ("Annie Get Your Gun") and Eleanor Park- er ("Caged"). Jose Ferrer ('Cyrano de Ber-| gerac") had a scant lead in the scattered male division: he boast- ed three awards. He was followed | by two apiece for James Stewart | ("Harvey"), Alec Guinness ("Kind | Hearts and Coronets") and Gregory Peck ("12 o'Clock High"), One the older service. Questions From Bride's Mother Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My daughter is to be married at a nuptial Mass. (1) Do 1 wear a floor-length 'dress, or would an an- kle-length dress be all right? (2) If I wear a floor-length dress, must the bridegroom's mother wear a long dress also? (3) Who pays for my corsage, and for the bride- groom's mother's corsage? MC.

BUNDESEN, M.D. OSTEOMYELITIS INFECTIONW of the bone and bone marrow is known as osteo- myelitis in its acute form, the on- set of the disease is violent, with chills and all the signs of acute infection, such as fever, weakness, loss of appetite, and a general feel- ing of sickness. The "give-away" sign of this ill- ness is the tenderness in the tis- sues over the area of affected bone, usually with some swelling of the tissues. The area may be only slightly tender at first, but this tenderness gradually becomes extreme, and the pain is severe, throbbing, and constant, High Fever Within 24 hours after the con- dition starts, the temperature may run up to as high as 104 degrees. The number of white cells in the blood are greatly increased. The condition, as a rule, is not too dif- ficult to diagnose because of the sudden starting of pain and tend- erness over one of the bones, ac- companied by fever, increased number of white cells, and all the signs of severe infection. Perhaps the most important diagnostic sign is the area of local tenderness over the affected bone. As the condi- tion progresses, x-ray examination is also useful in making a diagnosis. Changes that will show up on x-ray examination do not come on immediately, and to delay treat- ment until they appear may result in permanent damage. In treating acute osteomyelitis, the two most important things are the use of antibiotic drugs and | keeping the affected part im-| movable. In addition, quieting | drugs may be given and the pa-| tient's nutrition should be main- | tained with prorer diet. Fluids | should, of course, be administered | both by injection under the skin! and into a vein. | Required Operation | The germs which are most often responsible for osteomyelitis are sensitive - to penicillin and aureo- mycin. Before the antibiotics were discovered, all cases of osteomye- later. However, with the anti- biotic treatment in the acute case, | operation is rarely necessary, ex- cept in those few instances where a | large abscess forms or bits of dead bone are located in the involved area. It is important, however, that treatment with the antibiotics be started as soon as possible; there- fore, they should be given as soon there is any suspicion that osteomyelitis is present. If this is done, it may be possible to prevent any abscess formation and de- truction of bone. If abscesses develop, they may be drained by using a needle and syringe. This decreases pressure and relieves pain, and also permits | examination of the fluid to deter-| mine the type of germs which are causing the trouble. This guides the physician in his choice of a suitable antibiotic. * QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS N. V.: What causes the knee joint to slip and lock? Answer: This may be due to some disorder affecting the car- tilages in the knee joint. An x-ray of the joint should be taken and a careful study made by your physi- cian so that the exact cause may be found. Operative treatment would be necessary if the car- tilage is detached.
