WEDNESDAY, OCTUBER 8, 1951 ! THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ~. OF INTEREST TO WO | BEAUTY FOR YOU: Blackheads and Pimples By GELEN Every age seems to have its good - looks worries, and youth does not escape them. A common trouble is a complexion spotted with dust- filled pores and pustules.' These blemishes usually appear when a child is in the seventh of eighth grade. They make the victims un- happy, self-conscious, often in- clined to avoid group social affairs. At that age sebaceous glands are unusually active and glandular changes are going on elsewhere in the body. The exudations from the pores mass up in wax-like plugs, the points of which attract atmos- pheric dust. When the pores are distended, their walls break, bac- teria may cause pimples to form. | When a case of acne is established it can become extremely stubborn. At the first sign of blackheads, means should be taken to dislodge them: 2 Children are casual face-wash- ers and therein lies the trouble. They should be taught to fluff up a thick lather and friction it into flesh with the fingertips, pinching the flesh slightly to bring a glow. Some specialists suggest the use of a shaving soap that is bland and foams quickly. A complexion brush, well-soaped, will do a first class cleaning job, but one must find the right kind. The bristles must not be heavy, but firm enough not to mat down when moistened. Soap suds should be rinsed away with warm water, then hot, moist applications should be applied to soften the wax-like barricades in the pores and to bring to a head any pimples that may be pres- ent. After the drying, apply a soda solution made by dissolving a tea- spoonful of baking soap in a cup of water. Let it dry on. This treat- ment should be given every night. Physicians who specialize in dis- eases of the skin and scalp stress the need of diet that will make the sebaceous glands less active. Fats are practically deleted from | the diet.

MEN ~~ In. Jhe Commuuuty. 1 A Physician Advises You By HERMAN N, BUNDESEN M.D, THUMB SUCKING Nobody can blame the mother who 'is confused as to howeto deal with the problem of thumb-suck- ing. On the one hand, many psychi~- atrists warn that any attempt to break the child of this habit may result in psychological frustration. Meanwhile, dentists are often posi- tive in their assertion of the risks involved in allowing the child' to continue the practice too long. And the perplexed mother is left to decide whether to chance a den- tal deformity or an motional warp- ing. ABNORMAL DEVELOPMENT Disinterested examination of this controversy leaves little doubt that prolonged thumb-sucking can cause an abnormal development of either jaw or both. Teeth may be pushed out of alignment, and the palate also comes in for its share of mis- shaping. There is the added danger of promoting a habit of mouth- breathing or that some speech de- fect will appear, since this diffi- culty is found more often in thumb- suckers than in_ other children. On the other hand, there is some evidence that over-strenuous ef- forts to break the habit do upset the child emotionally and are un- successful to boot. In any' case, if the baby is well fed and kept occupied, he wili, sooner or later, give up the habit of thumb-sucking. ENGAGE HIS FANCY The mother should try to keep | the baby's hands busy. If the child gets tired of one toy he should ve! given something else to engage his| fancy and occupy his hands. If the thumb-sucking can be stopped be- fore the child reaches the age of four years, usually no deformity oc- curs. A child should be made to feel that he is loved and secure. Other forms of treatment should be start- ed only when a child appears to be psychologically well-adjusted and living in an environment which seems to be free from tensiébn. In these cases, it would seem that thumb-sucking is merely a habit prolonged beyond the need which originated it. Various methods of treating this condition have been used, but most | are rarely successful. The method | of taking the thumb out of the| child's mouth repeatedly belongs in| this category. | OLDER CHILD | Many parents attempt to force the child to suck his thumb until the child is eager to remove. it from his mouth. This is the best done in front of a mirror, and is only suc- cessful in the older child. Ill-tasting medicine locally ap- plied to the thumb may be effec- tive in a few cases in younger chil- dren. Finger guards, braces, gloves, closed sleeves and similar methods to prevent the habit should be used only on very young children, if at all, and even then they are usual- ly not effective. In certain persistent cases, a de- vice known as a non-removable hay- rack may prove effective. It is made up of a series of thin wires, which act as a fence to prevent thumb-sucking. It must be put into the mouth by a dentist. . GLAMORIZING:- Glamor to Frame Your Eyes "By HELEN FOLLETT Mascara provides a dark, glamorous frame for pretty eyes. Apply it carefully.

These cute little gadgets have two rubber cylinders between which you place the lashes and press lightly together. They impart an upward curl that lasts for some time.

They are life-savers to movie stars whose winkers do | not qualify. | THE human eye is like a gem, the beauty of which is enhanced by its setting. The lashes, when dark, long and tilted upward, form a pleasing frame, one that should be cherished, treated kindly and cultivated. Few women give a thought to lashes," depend upon toiletries to impart the glamorous touch. That's all right, of course, but the pretty fringes should be oiled and mas- saged lightly if they are to sur- vive. It takes only a minute. GOOD MEDIUM Mineral oil is a good medium.

Duffy remarked, "we have every profession 4nd line of business rep- | resented at San Quentin." | Duffy, the .prison guard's son | who rose to become of the leaders | in penal reform, said the film com- | pany's shooting had a good effect on the convicts. 'Any change in routine is stimulating to them,' he said. "And they are getting a Big kick out of having the picture | people here." | GUARDS AS PRISONERS | Fifty of the prison guards were ! enlisted as extras for the film and | were dressed in convict uniforms. Naturally, the cons had fun with this, housting such comments as, 'hey guard, if you ain't the perfect criminal type!" Duffy added that movies them- selves are a powerful force in| maintaining prison morale. Films | are shown once a week and they | are hand-picked by the warden | himself. | Among the favorite stars are | James Stewart, Spencer Tracy, | Rita Hayworth and June Allyson. | The convicts seldom see such play- { ers as Humphrey Bogart, James | Cagney, and George Raft. Reason: | Crime pictures are generally for- | bidden. . | UNPLEASANT MEMORIES | The editor of the prison paper told me that such subjects are not screened because they would. bring back unpleasant memories and en- courage morbidity. Duffy, retiring soon to become a member of the California adult authority, observed that the movies | show an exaggerated view of | crime. +He criticized the portrayal | of criminals as being mugs of a standard facial type.
