Here's her argument: "Sex is in a rut on the screen. a sexy girl on the screen, they immediately place a bottle in her hand, a gun in her fist or make wed -- in some man's boudoir. Shame on the screen writers! GOOD AND ATTRACTIVE "Why does a girl in a movie have to be bad if she's sexy? Why can't she be good and yet have a wholesome, inner warmth that makes her attractive to men? Why does the other woman have to he the sexy one and the heroine a wide-eyed sexless creature? It's an insult to, American womanhood." Miss Robbins sees a good num- ber of movie scripts. In her search for roles she invariably passes up the routine ingenue- parts, even though they usually offer more footage on the screen than the she takes. Miss Robbins gets the kind of role she's talking about in her current film, "The Brigand." She plays a fiery damsel who is court- ed by Anthony (Valentino) Dexter.

GLAMORIZING:- Nails Need More Than Polish By HELEN FOLLETT . Use an orangewood stick to push back cuticles. Pass the stick under the cuticle, lifting it gently away from the fingernail. LJ NO woman who has any pre- tensions to being well-groomed can afford to neglect her fingernails. It is short-sightedness to fancy that when the rosy glow is applied, it is the end of the matter, one has done one's duty. In course of time the nails can lose delicacy unless they are creamed. Ragged cuticles can split, form hangnails. Infec- tions cap result. As in all beautifying treat- ments cleanliness comes first. At bedtime, after washing your face, give your hands a thorough scrubbing with soapsuds 'and a nail brush, using the brush vigor- ously. on the pink shells to bring circulation right there. The blood streams in the underlying flesh give them coloring, keep them from be- coming brittle. After- the rinsing and drying apply a cutitle cream, frictioning it in well. To prevent the cuticle from creeping up on the nail base, pass the orangewood stick under it, BEAUTY FOR YOU:- Tired of Dyeing? Here's What to do By HELEN . There are woinen who have been | years.

The touch-up treatment must be confined to the new growth; rye applications should not overlap. But they usually do- and that 'means JAMESON cept the frosted crown. What shall she do? She hates the thought of the transition period, as well she might. One way is to have the head shaved, wear demountable hair. She need not resort to the old-fashioned jransformation, though . they are made very cleverly now and are not as dreadful as in the old days. She can have a bob wig. These of- ferings are really pretty slick. As the hair grows at the rate of five or six inches a year the period will not be long before she can have a three-inch trim, be in the mode. It is really the easiest way. If the idea of false hair does not appeal, she should have a short cut and make the best of it. Her hair will be part white, part dyed, but that isn't as bad as it sounds if she has a good permanent and finds a becoming, soft arrangement, Time was when dyed hair could not be given the permanent wave, but that difficulty has been overcome. No doubt she has heard of dye oving liquids. Their application is"seldom a satisfactory treatment. Whether the treatment is a success or not depends upon the kind of dye she has been using. The wise step is to consult a beautician who specializes in dyeing and bleaching, fess up to what you have poured upon your head, trust him to do his best. Certainly 'the situation 'is not one that can be corrected by home treatment. Misguided women have a peroxide with dismaying re- sul * > lifting it- gently. Once the skin gets a-hold on'thg nails, it is dif- ficult to detach it. Pushing it back lightly with a soft towel when wash- ing the hands is- a helpful practice. The _ nails were meant to pro- tect the ends of the fingers and they should not be filed too short. The oval pattern is considered the best taste, File from sides to centre, then round the point. You can use a metal file or beveling boards of emery paper but the file works more quickly. Some manicurists use the, file, then pass the orangewood stick under the eaves and fluff away the little shreds with the emery board. Be cautious when snipping away . hangnails. Place the curved, needle-point scissors with points toward the nail eaves. Then you will be less likely to make a wound. But, before doing that, soak the hands in warm water, dry and apply a cuticle cream. To clip away hang- nails when the fingertips are dry is to do a poor job, possibly to in- vite trouble.

The bridegroom and ushers are to wear blue business suits. My fiance's friend who is to be his best man is in the Army, in camp some dis- tance away.

YOUR VACATION "HOW DO YOU DO" When you sre on vacation and are being introduced, the way ,you seknywiedge an introduction will be the first manners-impression you will make on the person to whom you are being introduced. And that's mighty important; migh- ty important. The always-correct acknowledgement of an introduction is "How do you do." That's easy to remember. You never have to spend any effort-to 'think-up' any other reply. But what you should do to be a charming person is to do what people of charm do with those little everyday words ... , "How do you do." Watch how they say thems, with a charming grace that is somes thing-to-remember and something- to-remember-them-by . . . with a friendly warmth, with a cordial tone of voice . : . with a charm that makes these pedestrian words. walk joyously on tiptoe! And for "extra added attraction" people of charm always listen alertly to "catch" the name in an introduction, then they add the name to the "How. do you do" © . , and you know how pleased everyone of us is when. a person has the grace to remember our name. ; To paraphrase Alice-in-Wonder- land "That's a great deal to make one phrase mean" . . but you can make your "How do you do" mean 80 much that the newcomer-in- your-life will think "Here's a de- lightful person "o know!" (PS.: It's a very wise and re- warding idea to do some homework on saying a charming "How do you do" before you start forth on your vacation.

BUNDESEN, M.D. ANESTHETICS AND CHILDBIRTH UNTIL a little more than 100 yegrs ago, we had no way to re- lieve the pain of childbirth. At that time anesthesia was first in- troduced and has been in use for this purpose ever since. Even now, however, opinion is still divided as to which anesthe- sia gives the greatest relief of pain with the highest degree of safety. And there is room for such argument, for no anesthetic yet found is without at least some slight hazard either for the mother or the child INHALATION ANESTHETICS Today, many hospitals still use what are known as inhalation anesthetics in which the pain-re- lieving substance is breathed in and absorbed from the lungs of the mother. But, even here there have been changes.. Chloroform, once widely used, has been virtually dis- carded. Either, nitrous oxide and ethylene, though still in great use, | tii are tending to be supplanted by a newer substance known as cyclo- propane, today preferred In some hospitals. This usually has no ill effects on the liver, kidney, or lungs in the mother. In a few cases, it may interfere with Sep in the new born infant. RISK TO MOTHER .. .. Certain hazards exist with 'the use of an anesthetic that must be given by means of absorption through the lungs. There is risk, especially to the mother, because of the possibility of vomiting and resulting aspiration of food mater- ial into the lung. If this occurs, there is danger that pneumonia will develop. In many cases where inhala- tion. anesthetics are used, the baby may have to be revived with oxygen after birth. Because of this, physicians have recently looked for a newer method of ad- ministering anesthsia. Sleep-producing drugs are some- times given into a vein to prevent the pain of childbirth. However, this type of anesthesia is not too good at relieving pain and may have bad effects on the, infant. For ese reasons it is not being used to any great degree. NERVE BLOCK Nerve block anesthesia is now coming to the fore in many hos- pitals. With this anefthesia, pro- caine, or similar drugs that have a numbing effect, are injected around the birth passages to pre- vent pain. This method, accom- panied by the right inhalation an- esthesia, has became popular and is effective. Low spinal anesthesia, in which an anesthetic substance is inject- ed into the spinal canal, is also presently favored by some obste- tricians. This method of pain relief is used by many because of the non- depressing action on the infan.. A series of 3236 deliveries was per- formed by this method. There were no maternal deaths and the infant mortality was kept at a minimum.
