MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1951 BEAUTY FOR YOU:- Cutting a Pretty Figure By HELEN According to dress designers the ideal figure measures twenty-six in- inches at the waistline, as a thirty- four bust, wears size fourteen It is not just weight that puts . ht doesn't mean much if one's lines yiie go. Many women who worry t tonnage are of pleasing ap- posture is the secret. An overdeveloped bust throws the' body out of form, She who carries too much frontage must be extreme- ly careful in the choice of founda- tion garments and brassieres. There are models that will do much to camouflage the over-curves. They seem to tuck away superfluous tis- sue, or they place it where it does not detract from pleasing contour. ' For the sake of one's healtn as well ag appearance, one should en- deavor to train down to normal Those extra pounds are a burden; it wears one out to lug them around. Adipose tissue is packed aroynd the internal organs; it is not just a sur- face blanket. To get rid of the fat cells you have to starve them. Most women keep on feeding them by eating selements that produce bulges; fats, sweets, starches. The appetite can be disciplined and should be. There are plenty of good things to eat that won't add an ounce to weight --Ilean meats, fish that is not fat, poultry, eggs, buttermilk, vegetables that grow above ground, fruits and fruit juices. Just a little care and one can shuffle off a pound a week. That is reducing fast enough. Sometimes a woman with narrow J, . = | A. 2q nm 9 --_---- Are your measurements in propor- tion. / ; * oo shoulders will have spread amid- ships that throws her out of the good looks picture. By deep breath- ing exercises and swinging the arms in circles for.ten minutes each day she can develop the chest and make the shoulders fill out. By torso twist- ing and bending she can delete a few inches from the 'waistline that has followed a policy of expansion. If the thighs are heavy, place your hands on a table, come up high on the toes, down again slow- ly, a favorite exercise used by gym- nasts to strengthen the muscles of the legs. Make muscles strong and fat cells can't get a toehold. Hello Homemakers! Those saucy little flush-faced crabapples, pears and peaches are good fruits to pickle.

Mari, a vivacious, shabely girl who all the physical assets for Hollywood stardom, told me her story as we lunched at the Brown Derby. "I was nine when polio struck," she related. "I was paralyzed be- low the hips, in my right arm and the right side of may face. My mother -- thank God -- was a physical therapist and she had been working for years on the treatment of polio along the same lines as Sister Kenny. She wouldn't let the doctors put me in a cast. Instead, she started me exercising. "She drew a line along the ceil- ing of my room and told me to imagine I was a soldier marching along the line. She had me chew three and four packs of gum at a time, to keep the facial muscles working. She bought a small can- vas pool, put it in the back yard and gave me massages in it. MUSCLES WORKING "Everything was designed to keep the muscles working. Her theory was that whatever part of the body we do not use will wither and die. . "In a couple of years, I had re- covered enough to start learning to walk again. First I had two crutches, then one, then I walked unaided. My mother told me: 'You have two legs, use them!' In three years I was back in school. At first she was intent on a car- eer in international law and studied at university. She decided she had to earn a living and got work with an import firm as file clerk. But she was earning more money in part-time modeling work and de- cided to hit the big time -- New York. BUBBLE BATH TORTURE Once she suffered all day through a bubble bath while posing for a photographic ad. The photographer cheered her with: "This job will get you a movie offer. The ad will be printed in the Hollywood trade papers." He was right. She left the sniffles behind to take a Paramount con- tract. After a year of nothing but taking lessons, she left the studio and is now free lancing. She has done two films at Columbia, '10 Tall Men" and 'The Brigand." Her success is due to her mother's words: 'Never give in to polio." AIR FORCE GIRLS AT WORK St. Thomas, Ont.

By HELEN Lo When oily skin gets rough, cream and then pat on a LJ FASTIDIOUS cleanliness is the most important part of complex- ion care. One mustn't forget that make-up is just the frosting on the beauty cake. Also that it avails little if the texure of the skin is coarse, if coloring is dingy or sal- low. Soapsuds have a certain antiseptic quality that is helpful. In only few cases do suds cause irritation and then it may be be- cause the -specigl soap used is not bland enough. The normal, healthy skin exudes through 'the sebaceous and sweat glands a constant, almost invisible LJ 1athering. FOLLETT apply cold cream fo smooth it. Remove the skin lotion or astringent. » the safe side, use a thin cream first- for the removal of powder and those synthetic roses that highlight your cheeks. Do a brisk Use a soaped wash- cloth lightly, then pat the suds into the flesh to bring a glow. Rinse with warm water, then with cold; dry. gently and friction in a heavy cream, If the skin has a soap phobia and one must confine one's beau- tifying efforts to cream alone, re- move most of it with tissues, let- ting a little remain until you are ready to play with the make-up x, amount of oil, moisture and chemi- | bo: cals. This mixture attracts and holds the dust and dirt of the air on the skin's surface; so you can well understand that there is al- most no such thing as keeping the cutaneous covering too clean. 'Tons of atmospheric dust will fall in a big city in a remarkably short time, And faces get part of it. ON THE SAFE SIDE The use of soap and water may precede or follow the use of a cleansing cream or oil. To be on There seems to be an idea among girls who are afflicted with shin- ing noses that creams are not their eosmetic dish. Yet often oily skin becomes rough and needs-a sooth- ing emollient. After cream is re- moved, it is a wise plan to use a skin lotion or astringent. Put it on with pledgets of cotton and let it dry. Quite as important as local treatment is attenion to diet which should be fairly fat free. No cream, butter, rich sauces or pastries, Little Boy's Cardigan In Two Colors.

BUNDESEN, M.D. CAUSES OF HEART FAILURE THE red blood count for the male is about five million cells per cubic centimetre of blood, slightly less for the female. There are many conditions, however, which cause variations one way o another from this norm. . In anemia, for instance, both the red cells and coloring in the blood are deficient. This is a fairly common condition, but there is an- other rarer blood disorder, known as polycythemia, in which the bone marrow factory for the production of red blood cells gets out of hand and goes on turning out red blood cells long after the normal needs are satisfied. HEART FAILURE COMMON In polycythemia, not only is the number of red blood cells vastly increased, but the volume of blood to pump and heart failure more common in people having condition, is a tendency for blood clots to form in various vessels be- suffering from polycythemia. METHODS OF TREATMENT Many methods of treatment have been used for this disorder, the most popular being blood-letting, in which from one to two pints of Howler's solution, phenyl hydrazine, nitrogen mustards and X-ray therapy have been. used in the treatment of this condition. How- ever, none has proved too efficaci- ous, and all have fairly severe side- effects, Recfhitly, a group of 108 patients was treated with radio-active phosphorus. The drug was given either by injection into a muscle or by mouth. The patients thus treated obtained relief for inter- vals of not less than two months. All the symptoms were completely relieved, except those of the itch- ing and the enlarged spleen. The side-effects were few and less severe than with other treatments. It would seem that radioactive phosphorus is among the most adequate forms of treatment - for polycythemia we now have. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Mrs. B. H.: What could cause a bad odor to come from the mouth? Answer: A bad odor to the breath may result from such conditions as infected teeth, bad tonsils or adenoids, or from an infection of the nose or nasal sinuses. The most frequent cause is found in the teeth, where there may be cavities; or the condition may be due to a lack of cleanliness result- ing from insufficient care of the mouth and teeth, and not eating bulky foods. Particles of food which become fixed between the teeth should be removed with dental floss, or they will cause a bad odor. Sometimes, infected material lodges in, or in back of, the tonsils, or particles of food will be found in crypts. These conditions give a disagreeable odor to the breath. Similar difficulty occurs in in- fections of the upper part of the mouth or of the nose. -Foul breath may likewise be due to constipa- tion or dyspepsia. A thorough examination by the physician should be made to deter- mine the exact cause. News ! Shell Doily! Py New. fashions! Set your table with shell-shaped doilies!

(AP) -- Thous- ands of people have been sitting under the stars this summer, watch ing the heroes of American his- tory come to life before their eyes all because playwright Paul Green has added a few new twists to the old-fashioned historical pageant. On Roanoke Island, N.C., Green's "The Lost Colony' is in its 1lth season. At Williamsburg, Va., "The Common Glory" is in its fifth season, and a% Washington, "Faith of Our Fathers" is in its second season, In these plays, Green pioneered a form of pageant known by ad- mirers as "symphonic dramas'. He blends history, drama, music and dance. Each play is presented outdoors during the summer month in specially built theaters on the site of historial events portrayed. Green, a tar heel native who lives on his farm near here be- tween far-ranging trips, got into the business of recreating history in the mid-thirties. He was asked to write a play to be presented on Roanoke Island to commem- orate the 350th anniversary of the birth there of Virginia Dare--first English child born in the new world. "The Lost Colony," which tells the story of a band of colonists sent to America by Sir Walter Raleigh and whose fate still is unknown was the result. Plans called for presentation of the play for a single season, but it has been going strong ever since except for four summers during the Second World War. Then came the Williamsburg and the Washington plays, and Green, | |a husky citizen with a big store of nervous energy, has ideas for several others. In its first stages are plans for a drama based on the Pilgrims, to be given at Plymouth, Mass. Green believes that his work in making the heroes of history come . [to life for people of the present is important. "A nation without heroes is no { [nation at all," he declared. "And i [the kind of heroes it has shows the kind of nation it is." A big fellow who looks about | |20 years younger than his 57 years, Green remains close to the simple kind of folks he knew as a boy on a Carolina farm. Most of his poems, stories and plays are wov- en around their lives. Today he has a farm of his own, spread over a hill topped by his rambling colonial home. Although he doesn't pick cotton as he did on his father's farm, working on the farm is still one of his chief pleasures. Fishing, the farmer's favorite sport is another of Green's pastimes. 4 What with the current symphonic dramas' and plans for new ones,' plays on Broadway (his adaptation of Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" was pre- sented this past season), work on a novel and other projects, there are many afternoons when Green has to- resist the temptation to visit his fish pond. This fall he will take off on a globe-circling lecture tour to tell the story of America and its cul- ture. Financed with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, the tour will concentrate on Asia. An In- donesian newspaper ad, which call a gangster -- and -- sex movie "typically American," shows the kind of impression he hopes to refute, Green said. One of his aims through the historical plays is to show how problems were met in the past and point to solutions for those of to- day, Green explained. "America's problem today," said Green, "is how to have both power and piety; how to be strong and yet be humble." He sees the answer in science and religion. "True science and true Christe ianity do not contradict each other; they are the same thing," he contended. His interest in current problems took Green to Paris this summer as an American delegate to the session of the United Nations Edu= cational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. There he hoped to argue with the Russians for more free exchange of information and ideas. Green got his start writing plays with the Carolina Playmakers at the University of North Carolina here, the same group in which' Thomas Wolfe tried out his wings * as a student. ) In 1927, Green hit the dramatic jackpot with *'In Abraham's Bo- som," which won the Pulitzer. prize. He has ,been busy ever since, turning out plays, movie scripts, short stories, poems, and the symphonic dramas. In his work humanizing the her- oes of history, Green has become Someting of a literary hero him- self.
