Then take care of them; do not abuse them. If extremely high heels are your pet frenzy; if you wear them from the time you hop out of bed until you crawl 'in again, you may pay a penalty. You may not. be conscious of any difficulty at first. There may be no definite pain or discomfort. You just don't want to skate in the win- ter time; you hate to walk more than a block or two; dancing is not quite the thrilling joy it once was. Your ankles are weak. Because of the tiny bases of spiked heels, your footing is un- certain. 'The slightest misstep surns the ankle. Also it may sway from side to side, a movement that $s not natural. When the heel is lifted beyond a eertain point, the foot is pushed forward imto the toe of the shoe and the muscles of the ankle and Jeg become strained and lose re- pilency. The thing tosdo is to gelease that strain by wearing lower heels part of the time. This change must be made gradually. To dis- card high heels for very flat ones # too much of a come-down for pomes and ligaments that have pesumed an unnatural pose. Weak ankles require medical at- demtion. Special supports may bring relief. Or, one can wear bandages. Use a three-inch heavy bandage fabric, winding it on fairly tightly. Before doing this, bathe feet and ankles in hot water and ginse them in cold water; friction briskly with a coarse towel. gad of this part of the treatment is to hustle up the cir- tory streams. No girl should be conscious of her feet and ankles. She won't be they are im perfect condition. wonderfully designed to weight of the body; they will this mission unless they ave mistreated.

Exercises will strengthen relaxed ankle muscles, but they should be done in moderation at first. Re- move shoes and stockings, Lift slowly on the toes; come down slowly. Let the body rock forward and backward. No quick, jerky movements. Do this for two min- utes the first two days, then for five minutes. Walk on tip-toes, coming up with a spring.

Typical of this ik the skirt of an evening dress, which has fine-line pieces of net starting from the basque curves of the bodice, below the waist.

Here's a war picture with more casualties than a college football game. . The picture now is called "Fixed Bayonets!"' (formerly 'Old Sold- iers Never Die,'"'). Here is the casualty list: Gene Evans, injured arms; Bill Hickman, broken leg; James Ma- gill, broken wrist;" Kaine Shew, bayonet wound in foot; Michael O'Shea, smashed knee; Wyott Or- dung, knocked unconscious in a shel 1 blast. The cause of all this mayhem is Sam Fuller, writer and director of the picture. An army veteran himself, he wanted his actors to feel their roles. They did, and will for months, Not even Fuller escape injury; he wrenched the cartilage in his right foot in a fall. There is no evidence that an actor pushed im. . It is bruited about on the "Fixed Bayonets!" set that direc- tor Fuller might even possess more ham than the actors. I don't know how anyone could get that idea, except perhaps from his outfit, which includes a general's cap, a Zanuck-size cigar, combat boots, a cane, dark glasses and a belt holster with two guns which he fires for various dramatic effects. At any rate, Fuller is getting his realism. It even amazes Larry Chapman, special effects man who sets off the explosions for the movie scenes. "I've never set off explosions closer to the actors than on this picture," said Chapman. "Actual- ly, there's not much danger to the actors ,a lthough they may think 80." During one scene I watched, director Fuller was shooting off his pistol s to simulate enemy fire. At the end of the scene, a jokester dropped some stuffed ducks from the raftérs. -- RT ~ OF INTEREST TO'W GLAMORIZING:- Has Your Chin By HELEN avoids fattening foods th > ONE advantage the skinnies have over the plumpies is that their chins stay as nature designed them, never go double.

Expert facial operators are able to roll two chins into one, but this presto-change cannot take place in a few treatmenis. Aiter a thorough cleansing of the skin with a thin oil, a heavy cream is applied, the spare chin is rolled between finger and thumb. The purpose is to crush the fat cells. This can be done at home and with success. Start the pinching far down, work from centre to sides. Go through Ld A) Gone Double ? FOLLETT No double-chin trouble for Movie Star Virginia O'Brien.

Fold your fingers in the palms c¢. your hands and knead the flesh with your knuckles. After that there must be a brisk patting and slap- ping. There is more yet to be done. Precautions must be taken so the tissues will not be flabby. So, after the massaging, frisk an ice cube over that area. If you give your chin-reducing treatment at bed- time, dash on cold water in the morning. Follow along with appli- cations of an astringent, putting it on with pledgets of cotton and let- ting it dry. A big help is in remembering to keep your head on the level. Letting it drop forward means that the muscles of the jaw line, the chin and throat have no work to do, so go into a decline. Turning the head from side to side with a strong Hiliscle pull is recommended for this. i Original Touches Perk Up Everything Little touches can make all the difference in your clothes, home and the dishes. you serve.

BUNDESEN, M.D. HEAD INJURIES IN dealing with head injuries, so prevalent in these -days of auto- mobile accidents, it is of great im- portance that the patient be carefully examined at once and observed for a period of weeks thereafter. When such a case is first brought to the hospital, the physician must immediately determine whether or not the patient is in shock, a ¢on- dition which can be remedied By | the giving of salt solution into a vein. Rarely, whole blood or plasma may be required. MAINTENANCE OF BREATHING Another prime consideration is the maintenance of adequate breathing. If there is some ob- struction to the breathing, or if there is unconsciousness, a tra- cheotomy (the making of an open- ing in the trachea, the tube lead- ing from the throat to the tubes of the lungs) may be performed. The patient should be placed on his stomach with his head turned to one side. This allows the secre- tions from the throat to drain out. BRAIN HEMORRHAGE In coma or sudden unconscious- ness, the patient should be care- fully watched, for this usually indicates the presence of brain hemorrhage in about 25 per cent of the cases. In this event, the skull may be opened by the brain sur- geon, the site of the possible hemorrhage sought and the bleed- ing checked. The pupils should be carefully watched, since a difference in the size of the two pupils may also mean the presence of hemorrhage. Changes in the pulse rate, the blood pressure and the breathing rate may also give an indication as to the extent of the head injury. SPINAL PUNCTURE A puncture of the spinal canal is advisable in every case of head in- jury, to establish whether or not any bleeding into the brain has taken place. This should be done cautiously, for it may prove injuri- ous if too much fluid is removed. Skull X-rays should be taken in all cases of head injury to make sure no fracture is present. Any drug that depresses the individual, such as a narcotic, should be avoided. In all cases of head imjury, care- ful vigilance is the important rule to be followed. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Mrs. J. J.: What causes numb- ness of the arm and shoulder. with needle-like sensations between the shoulder blades? Answer: _Numbness of the arm and shoulder may be due to a number of different conditions. Circulatory disorders, disturb- ances of the muscles, joints, or ner- vous system may be responsible. It is possible that some disturbance of the upper part of the spine may be a factor. You are in need of a thorough study by your physician. A good cook suggests that we use two dishcloths for each dish- washing. Use one for washing glassware, china and silver; reserve the other for greasy pots and pans. Wash both after the dishes are done. COLLETTE SPECIAL!

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When in a restaurant I order a salad as a main course (very often a chef's salad, or a vegetable salad or fruit salad) and it is served in an individual salad bowl, should I eat it out of the bowl or should I serve small portions to my plate? --Mildred. If the dressing is served separate from the salad, mix the salad and dressing in the bowl . . , and then it's best not to "confine" the salad to 'the bowl, but to serve portions of it to your plate.

Fiancee and Fiance Should Consult with Minister about Church Regulations Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My sister was married last year: | formal church wedding. Now I am | to be married in about three months, and my father says he will give me the same kind of wedding he gave 'my ' sister--if this would be correct in my case. I have never been married before, but my fiance has been. He was divorced several years before I met him, the divorce was granted to him, everyone tells me he was entirely in the right and his relatives and friends all tell me that they are delighted that he is marrying again. In these circumstances could we have a for- mal church wedding, as my sister had, her wedding being the first for each? If not, what would be the main differences in our plans? . --R.Y. I assume you know definitely that your church will permit the re- marriage of a divorced person, par- ticularly under the circumstances. you have given? If you and your fiance consult with the minister of the church about this, and he gives permission, you may have a formal church wedding, no different from | your sister's wedding. | Anhouncing the Engagement when | Fiance is Serving Overseas Dear Mrs, Beeckman: { "My Bill" is in the Army, and before he was sent overseas, 'we | became engaged, telling no one ex- | cept our families.

My parents are devoted to Bill, whom we've all known for sev- eral years, and entirely approve of our engagement.
