PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1947 BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Mens' Pet Peeves about Wome By HELEN JAMESON : : Every so often, up pops that old question "Do women dress to please the men?" One can't gen- eralize on that subject, Some women do, some women don't. Some men have sound ideas about feminine duds; others wouldn't know if their wives were dressed according to the fashions of this year or ten years back. There are men who adore ruffles, fluffles and curls; others will rave about a red hat or a red frock; still others admire conservative ap- parel, especially for their own women, On certain subjects many men seem to agree, according to our survey, Men always notice the ar- rangement of a woman's hair, If it looks blowsy, they give her a black mark, They are ready to scream if a slip shows even the least bit beneath the hem of the skirt, These errors of composi- tien are evidence of shiftlessness and untidiness, Men like to see women as neat as a pin. Some of them say it sickens them to see a woman wearing too much make-up: Lipstick applica- tions that are nothing but irreg- ular smears kill any' ideas they may have as to kisses and em- braces, It seems that these de- tails have an influence upon ro- mantic sentiments, One can understand that. A man's dream girl should be pleasing to the eye. The slightest suggestion of per- spiration odor will send a suitor away in a hurry, ag will an un- pleasant breath, These afflictions are not limited to the members of the female sex, and women will not tolerate them in men, Wom- en also have their pet peeves, Because men admire beautiful silhouettes and graceful move- ments, they prefer to escort slen- der girls when going places. But when it comes to falling in love and getting married, a little extra tonnage doesn't matter. It appears that a larger. per- Men woman's hair, * *P centage of bachelors prefer brun- ettes to blondes. Middle-aged men, as a rule, have a dislike for dyed hair. To a man they are reconciled to lipsticks when they are used cleverly and the color is not too vivid, When this beauty frenzy started, many of them had plenty to say about it; too much some- times, and then they got a good bawling out, and were told that they were not keeping in step with the times, They aren't so lenient about brilliant nail polish, The average man -past his twenties--one is tolerant in the twenties--still dis- likes it, The Movie Column By HELEN BANNERMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer Today we met & man who spent the first 20 minutes of our acquain- tance telling us just what was wrong with the movies, particular- ly Hollywood movies, and why, He thought they were silly, sentimental and his mind. He panned them all roundly with the excep- tion of the British film, "Brief En- counter." When he stopped for breath we asked for more specific examples of 2 ! spend in single blessedness contem- the social and historical which make them what they In the smaller centres the movie turnstiles click for musicals, come- dies and westerns with plenty of action and preferably in color. , "adult" films are just so ki Manag . Here is what a poll of Westie managers reports on some o U] movies seen in Tilbury, Ont.: "Smoky" was popular; re-issues of Jessie James" and "The Return of Frank James" did extra business; "Night and Day" was a big success did only average business. ANCIENT CEREMONY At Canterbury the ancient cere- - mony of beating the bounds, in- cluding "bouncing" the mayor on a boundary stone, is to be revived af- ter a lapse of ten years. This year's mayor is a woman, Smart Women Cops To Patrol Montreal Montreal, March 9--(CP)--Mont- real's 10 rookie policewomen mem- bers of the juvenile morality squad, will start patrolling their beats to- day to teach youngsters that the tree of crime bears bitter fruit. Recent graduates of the Montreal police training school, these smart stepping protectors of law and or- der were taught everything from police procedure to juvenile psycho- iogy by lawyers, juvenile judges, so- cial workers and other experts. They will be counsellors to the youngsters and their parents, as well as representatives of the law. Offenders for minor law infrac- . | tions will be taken to their homes "| and the parents will be subject to severe reprimand a juvenile court judge. More serious offences will call for direct juvenile court ac- tion, 28-Day Training After 28 days' training, the po- licewomen cadets attained an aver- age of 85.3 per cent, said Inspector Albert Langlois, former RCAP squadron leader, who heads the po- lice training school, Inspector Langlois, who trained members of the women's auxiliary air force during the war, said the police graduates compiled an "ex- cellent" record in jiu-jitsu, military exercises, eriminal law and related subjects. Asked how they compared with men in training, the inspector re- plied: "In my opinion their per- formance was excellent and equal- led the men in every phase, al- though they did net take firearms training, That is where most of the men lost their marks." Two of the graduates are mar- ried and typical of these is pretty Mrs. Amelie Bisson, former member of the Canadian Women's Army Corps. The former army office clerk was asked why, of all occupations, she chose to become a policewoman, "I'm taking upon myself the so- cial 'responsibility of helping to "| stamp out juvenile delinquency," came the quick reply. Cadet Bisson said her husband ig not a policeman. He would like to be one, but he is too short. "What does your husband think of your policewoman's joh?" "Oh, he's very proud of me." "Did you throw your instructor over your back during your jiu- Peep If you could peep into the lunch pails of men who work hard and need strengthening food--you would find many of them contain plenty nourishing-- of Savour its Flavour Your grocer will gladly supply you with it. A Physican Advises You TREATING DYSENTERY Forewarned is forearmed, and so today medical science is on the alert to r diseases from other parts of the world which may have been brought back and spread to rding to Dr. Albert M. Snell, of the United States Naval Reserve, one of the diseases which is likely to become more frequent as a result of the war is amebiasis, also called amoebic dysentery. This disorder is caused by infestation with a para- site known as the endamoeba his- tolytica. A Widespread Outbreak Dr. Snell estimates that from 2 to 10 per cent of the people of this country already suffer from such infestation. He warns that wide- spread outbreaks could result from contamination of water supplies either by those recovering from an attack or those who harbor the parasites without showing any symptoms. The ameba first attacks the in- testinal tract, where it may cause dull abdominal pain, some tender- ness within the abdomen and mild anemia. Even this mild condition should receive immediate attention by the doctor. In its acute form, the disease may cause bloody diarrhea, intense pain in the abdomen, chills, vomiting and sometimes, collapse. In most = stances the disorder starts with moderate diarrhea, some griping, loss of weight ang anemia, The symptoms may be much like those of appendicitis. In milder cases, there may be attacks which go and years with pain in the abdomen, continuous loss of weight, anemia and slight fever. X-Ray Examination The X-ray examination may be helpful in making a diagnosis of amebiasis. Of course, the stool should always be examined for the presence of the parasites or their cysts. Such examination must be carried out by one who has been trained to recognize the ameba, It is sometimes necessary to examine from 12 to 15 stools before the para- sites are found. A number of preparations are utilized, in treating amebiasis. Dr. Snell suggests the giving of eme- tine hydrochloride by injection un- der the skin for a period of five days, On the third day, a prepara- tion known as carbarsone is given three times daily for seven days. After an interval of a week vioform is given three times daily for a week and a week later the carbar- sone treatmen is repeated. Such treatmen may serve to era- dicate the amebae completely and bring about a cure of the disorder. Other physicians prefer different forms of treatment and use eme- tine especially when abscesses of the liver are present, The most, important factor in preventing the spread of amebiasis through a community is early rec- ognition and treatment of isolated cases, TEMPERATURE EXTREMES The ure in the Sahare desert is often 130 degrees at mid- day and near freezing at night. Jitsu training?" "They didn't give up the oppor- tunity," she replied with a smile. Many of the policewomen could not swim before, but today they are the proud holders of certificates from the Royal Life Saving Society, They will work under the super- vision of Sgt.-Det. O. Pelletier of the preventive service, juvenile mor- ality squad. "They will carry no weapons and will have to rely on their jiu-jitsu training in case of emergency," Inspector Langlois said. - Flattery for You You'll feel slim as a willow in Pattern 4972, and how you'll gather compliments!

If you aren't chesty you are out of the picture. When you go stalking spring dry- goods you'll find that a curvaceous superstructure is necessary if the blouse and the suit coat are to have a smart appearance. Of course, Miss Skinny can resort to "falsies" but, if she will mind her groceries, increase the intake of starches, sweets and fats, do some arm- swinging exercises, she may be able to build herself up to normal meas- urements. She'll feel better, will look less like a famine victim. If there is nothing wrong with her health she can pull out of her state of emaciation, Air in Lungs Let her give her lungs the air, blow up her oxygen bellows. Shal- low breathers have shallow chests. Not only that, but pale complexions. One can pluck cheek roses out of the atmosphere; they've got the compact ones beaten by a mile. Women don't think enough about dragging in the ozone. L * Posture has,much to do with the contour of the upper story of the torso, Let your-shoulders fall for- ward, and the fibres of the breasts will lose tone, become flabby &nd saggy. BSlouchy carriage is just a bad habit. It is excusable in the aged, but why young women should take on such inert nobody knows. Maybe they think it is arty or something. They look like the dickens, and haven't any style. Night and Morning Ten minutes night and morning given over to the projeet of bust de- velopment will bring results in nine cases out of ten, May take six months, but what of it? Every night massage lightly with cocoabutter, sweeping round and round with slightly upward pres- sure. Hold the chest high while do- ing this. Double up the fist of the right hand, send it high, wide and handsome, as if swinging a lantern, Six times with the right, six with the left andgrepeat. Pull hard on the muscles of the chest. Every morning sponge with cold water, dry gently, do breathing ex- ercises before an open window. Gracie Reveals Retirement After 42 Years of Comedy Miami Beach, Fla--Gracie Fields sang a goodbye to the night clubs, turned a handspring, and sald she was going to settle down, End of Trail The English comedy star, once the highest paid of all entertainers, Saturday night came to the end of the vaudeville train on which she had spent 42 of her admitted 49 years, with time out for movies and radio. Few in the audience at the ex- clusive Brook Club knew that they were hearing her, close up, for the last time. There was only a mut- tered "since this is my last night in vaudeville," in granting a request, to tip them off. There was a little more tender- ness than usual in heér finale--the Maori farewell song she picked up on a wartime trip to New Zealand. Then, her frizzled, short hair gleam- ing in the spotlight, she picked her way through tables to the tiny lobby, flashed her knees in a hand- spring across it, and said she was through, ¥ "I'm going back to England on the 15th," Miss Fields said. "I may do something there but I want to go to my house in Capri first. I'm done with the music halls--I' need some rest. "But I want to make some more pictures, and do some stage shows. It all depends on the roles they give me. If there were only an- other 'Holy Matrimony.'" Best Picture In "Holy Matrimony," cnsidered her best American picture, Miss ,| Fields almost deserted comedy to give a heart-warming portrayal of bearded Monty Woolley's wife. As the non-ingenue toast of Eng- land before the war, Miss Fields was * reported making $500,000 or more per year. She had spent most of the past six years in this coun- try, living in California, but made many extended trips to war battle- fronts and rest areas. Her motherly figure, free-kicking legs, raucous voice and the little scarf she does wonders with were known to as many Allied soldiers as Bob Hope's oldest gag. Miss Fields couldn't say whether she would silence the singing voice ARE YOU PALE WEAKTIRED You girls and women who suffer so from simple anemia that you're pale, weak.

The plump, dynamic little French-speaking Canadian wo- man who said it is Madame Gaud- et Smet and she does look happy. Spend about five minutes with her and you will be so caught up in her good spirits that income taxes, news deadlipes and other troubles will seem unimportant, And you will agree with her that it is stu- pid to buy anything ready-made; that the best life is to live on a farm, run it; publish a magazine; play the organ in church; raise a family; visit every village in Que- bec; talk to the farmers and, above all campaign for Canadian handicrafts, Madame Smet publishes and edits "Paysana," a magazine in French, which is devoted tg rural life, and has a circulation qf 50,- 000. She started it 10 years ago, with a eirculation of 5,000, and after a change of government in Quebec resulted in the discontinu- ing of the Journal of Agricul- ture, of which she was women's editor, She spent yesterday in Toronto, Lives On A Farm She doesn't publish her 'rural journal from a slick Montreal apartment, She lives on a farm, 20 miles from Three Rivers, and her staff comes in Monday morn- ing and stays with her until Fri- day night, Everything in the combination office and house is handmade. The drapes are fashioned out of old jute bags, from which the threads were unwoven, dyed and rewoven, Her husband, who is Parisian French and a wood carv- er, produced the new furniture. Most of the old large pieces came from her old home and were made by her pioneering ancestors from good Quebec lumber, "I have to he an example," she says, eyes twinkling, as she points to her hand-woven jacket, hand- made bag and briefcase, her handmade leather brooch, and her engagement ring, for which she drew the design, Copes With Rural Problem "When I put anything in the magazine I know it can be done," she said, because she is coping with "rural problems" all the time, They keep two cows, 40 hens and some rabbits, "We eat one about every three weeks--we put in a rabbit ragout" and keep pigeons "for, you say, beauty?" They grow grapes for wine--'"my husband thinks water is for frogs only--we have raspberries, straw- berries and a big vegetable gar- den." Last year the University of Montreal asked her to con§> down and address a group of social lea- ders, She refused--said to send them up to her. For 10 days they slept in a barn--coped with "rur- al problems" and learned a lot about Quebec farm life. So suc- cessful was it that there will be two courses this year. When the staff arrives Monday morning they draw lots for their household chores, "At 11 my sec- retary is taking dictation, At 12 she is cooking potatoes." Friday night the staff departs. "Saturday and Sunday is to papa and mama alone," she concluded, WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT -- Saying Grace in a Restaurant? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN : Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Our 4-year-old son has said grace before every meal for over six months, and although I am not ashamed but proud that he insists on doing this when we are eating a meal in a restaurant, it does cause some (shall I say) commotion. He does not say it in a loud noisy way, but many people have come to our table and commented. Do you think this is proper and that it looks all right? BN You have given your little son a good and beautiful gift in guiding him into the reverential observance of saying grace, and I deeply ad- mire you for this ideal. But I can- not feel that in a restaurant it is a Wize Hien. Jor you to permit Jour am say grace in a voice and with a manner that attracts the attention of other diners and impels scme of them to come to your table to comment about it. This, it seems to me, detracts from the reverence of saying grace. I think it shows a greater reverence and better taste for a person, of any age, when in a restaurant to bow his head incomspicuously and say his words of grace in silence. Inviting a Boy to Her Sorority Dance Dear Mrs, Beeckman: 1. 'The sorority to which I belong is giving an jnformal dance soon. In such cases I believe it is the girl's place to invite the boy. If so, when and how should I do this? Also, when I buy the bids, should I or should I not give them to him? 2. The boy I am inviting does not know any of my crowd, which consists of five couples, After I have introduced him to them, should we stay with them between dances, in intermissions, and so forth? After the dance is over, when he and I go for a soda, should we go with my crowd, or should just he and I together? Reader 1. You will know, of course, or be informed about, the plan for in- viting the boys. The invitation should be extended at least two weeks ahead of time; sooner if possible, and certainly sooner if you're inviting a popular young man! If you know very well the young man you're planning to in- vite, it would be natural to invite him orally or by telephone, If you don't know him very well and are not sure how he'll react to your in- vitation, a note is the sensible way. In your invitation tell him you have the tickets, and if he accepts your invitation, give him the tick~ ets when he arrives to take you to the dance so that he can hand them in at the door. 2. These are personal questions which you yourself must decide. 1f- you desert your crowd I'm quite sure you'll regret it. First, because they'll certainly question your loy- alty to them, your pleasure in being with them, and they might decide to leave you and your partner out of their dance-plans and party- plans. Second, because your parte ner may also wonder at your appar- ent disloyalty to your group, or wonder why he's left out of the group-doings--unless, of course, he's so engrossed in you that he prefers to have all the dances with you! And third, because the chances are you'll find that at a dance the pro- kcedure is far easier if you're in a group, and much more fun too. Salutation to Both Husband and Wife Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When I write a letter that is in- tended for both husband and wife, should I begin "Dear Mary and John," or "Dear John and Mary"/ In other words, would the sequence follow the "Mr. and Mrs." oe? The letter should begin "Dear Mary and John". It's the "lady first" sequence, rather. than - the "Mr, and Mrs." sequence. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on What Should I Do? submitted by readers.) Youth Uncertain Because Parents Are The uncertainty noticed in ado- lescents "is the reflection of our own uncertainty and our inability to make our culture more rational," sald Prof, William Line of the Uni- versity of Toronto psychology de- partment, in a recent address. "We are uncertain whether we are qualified or not in the technique of bringing up our children," he said. "The old faith in persistence and hard work are shaken when we see sudden fortunes made on the stock market. We question whether our youth, who are uncertain in their sense of loyalty, are ready for the responsibility of carrying on our culture--yet we allowed them to assume responsibility of flying Spitfires." Evil of Mass Production Mass production in industry has caused the worker to be lost sight of as a person," said Prof. Line. "Human values are shattered, the person as a person is forgotten. The result is a feeling o entment, boredom and hostility/in fhe worker as he looks uron h If as a mere cog in the wheel." Speaking of advances which have been made in education as a result of the co-operation of the commun- ity with educational institutions-- of which he said the nursery school is a "most dramatic example," Prof. Line remarked: "Why cannot we do that in every phase of our national and international life?" He urged that partnership be substituted for hostility in industry, in penal insti- tutions, in mental hospitals. "Until that comes about there will be con- fusion," he said.
