THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1947 PAGE SIX BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Mechanical Reducing Methods By HELEN JAMESON mptations surround the plump Jem tarts on a campaign of remolding. Un- how, it is a gocd excuse to stoke up. She is hungry, and the very foods she shouldn't eat appeal to Ler. She comes to the conclusion the only way to stick on the et) wagon is to retire to soxe vast wilderness, away from relatives and friends who will not give her moral support in the reducing project. But there is en easler way. Ste can go to a 1educing salon and have her curves pounded away, though of course the operator who does this work will also pound in- to her ears the needs of restraint in eating habits. Restraint, but not semi-starvation. One advantage of profes:ional care is that the reducing course includes facials, so that tissues will remain firm and smooth. Hcme reducing at a too-rapid pace often makes the face look older, and that is heartbreaking, even if the f'gure appears younger. If cne deletes fats and carbohydrates cver a l°ng period, the face may take on more lines than a road map. It has hap- pened in many cases. At the reducing salon, the candi- date for willowiness reclines on a table. The applicator of a vibrator buzzes briskly all over the kody surface, jiggling fat cells to a state of weakness. There is also a vac- uum tube and a patter to tone CS 2 mall te Tempations surround the plump : lady. + muscles and make them firmer. An electrical hand pounds and slaps. Cowardly customers may cry out in protest, but a lot of good that does them. No weak woman ever over- came the curse of excess weight. One must be brave, take it on the chin--and elsewhere. The customer mounts an electri: horse that trots, then gallops. Fine for melting away hip measure- ments. Incidentally, this exercisz has a vitalizing effect upon the liv- er. This organ may be overworked because of an excess of fatty foods. Leather straps hang from the ceiling. The client clutches the ends, is lifted off her feet and swung. The purpose is to stretch the body to the very limit and to get into action the relaxed muscles of the mid-section that have pro- duced the ugly little tummy shelf.

Of all the forms of entertain- ment the movies probably are the most popular, A recent survey showed the average Briton goes to the "flicks" twice weekly, As there are lots of stay-at-homes a good many Britons must go three or four times a week. Shades of Sinatra! Youths are the principal devo- tees of course, but there is a so- 11d foundation of middle-aged wo- men who geem to derive endless comfort from the celluloid rom- ances, ,They know everything there is to know about movie stars and treat their tiniest do- ings with the utmost seriousness. Last week there was the Lon- don premiere of a new film fea- turing Barbara Stanwyck. She attended in person with her hus- band, Robert Taylor. Frank Sinatra's publicity men would have gone green with en- vy had they heard the massed squealing that went up from the mob pressing round the doors of the Empire Theatre in Leicester Square an hour before the movie was due to start, Dozens of police tried to keep the entrance clear but those going to the movie had a struggle get- ting through the mob. When Miss Stanwyck and her husband arrived, fans broke through police lines. Good Box Office British movie producers capita- lize cannily on this wealth of emotion which is here ripe for tapping. British stars, when not making movies, seem to spend their time touring the country making personal appearances, It is not an uncommon sight to see the exit of some dingy small town railway station decorated with a banner saying "So and So (name of town) welcomes So and So (name of actor)." The lounge of the town's lead- ing hotel will have become the headquarters of a publicity cam- paign. There public relations men dispense drinks, prime prin- cipals in their parts and compose speeches, . The night of the big show the lounge is crowded with self-cons- cious citizens in evening dress.

BUNDESEN, M.D. DISTRESSING INFECTIONS Everyone should realize that while penicillin and the sullona- mide drugs are wconder-workers against certain kinds, of germs they are completely helpless a- gainst others. Whether or not they will cure an infection depends on whether the infection is caused by the germs which they attack. Thus, while they have been splendidly useful in treating some infections. of the kidney and blad- der, when it comes to otheis the doctor must look elsewhere for an effective weapon. Infection of Bladder Cystitis or infection of the blad- der and pyelitis or infection of that part of the kidney where the excre- tions collect before they pass into the bladder, may be resistant to penicillin or sulfonamide drugs. Pyelitis and cystitis cause such symptoms as slight fever, pain ani burning on emptying of the bladder and sometimes discomfort to the back. The urine is found to ccn- tain many white blood cells. This condition can be diagnosed by an examination of the urine and by the symptoms which it-preduces, Drs, Grayson Carroll and Hollis M. Allen of St. Louis, Missouri have treated 200 patients with these vr- inary infections with a cure in ap- proximately three-fourth of them. The average time of treatment re- quired to get rid of all of the germs in the 'urine was about six days. Some of the patients were relieved in three days while in others it took as long as two weeks. Their treatment consisted in giving tablets made up of mandelic acid and methenamine. The tablets were given by mouth four times daily, after meals and before gong to . No changes were made in the' patient's diet nor was the amount of fluids he took altered. It is encouraging ¢o note that of 104 of the patients in whom the in- fection was caused by colon bacilli, more than eight out of every ten improved with the treatment. In some instances the infection was caused by staphylococci and strep- tococel. Reaction to Drug In only three cases were there re- actions to the drug. These consist ed In one case, of sickness to the stomach without vomiting, and se- vere burning on emptying of the bladder in two cases, There was no evidence of any injury to the kid- ney as a result of use of these pre- parations, From these observations it would appear that this preparation is quite. effective in overcoming many infections in the kidney and the bladder. Furthermore, it can be safely used with little danger that any reactions will occur. Of course, in every infection of this type the physician will want to make studies to determine the kind of germ present so that he can de- cide upon the best form of treat- ment, This shows once again the dangers of attempts at self-treat- Eva heir To ml ts 8 consult a d time of illness.

They are de- pendent upon good musculature and just the right padding of adi- pose tissue. They are rew: that come to the girl who is athietioally inclined. Golf, tennis, swimming will keep them in form. With plenty of muscle movement the contour remains youthful, A splendid method of attaining smooth shoulders and symmetry of the upper arms is to shrug the shoulders, not casually as may be your custom when expressing doubt or displeasure, but with purpose. Sit in Chair Sit in a straight back chair, hands down at the sides, Take a deep inhalation, lifting the shoul- ders high, pulling up the elbows, but keeping the arms straight. While exhaling, send the shou'ders and arms forward, then back; still L 4 LJ keeping the hands down at the sides. ' These movements will give the upper portion of your torso a good workout. It is a splendid way of ridding oneself of a small roll of fat on the upper back. It will also bury prominent collar bones. Works for the good of the plump and the skinny. You can do it at odd mo- ments, if nobody happens to be looking. Beautiful arms are shapely and white. The underlying form can- not be altered, but the skin surface can be kept in perfect condition by massage with a heavy cream, fol- lowed by a talcum rub. This treat- ment will be a solacement to the poor dear whose fins are speckled with goose flesh. Arm loveliness is also dependent upon graceful movement. They should have an easy pose, not too far forward, not too far back. Flex- ibility of the muscles, together with a flexible wrist movement, must be cultivated.

AR THE LONG j AND THE SHORT OF IT is best exemplified by the long, fitted, tunic-type jacket spar- ring for honors with' the brief bol- ero in the suit situation, There's something fresh and appealing about the youthful suit comprised of red woolen bolero, pleated navy woolen skirt and white blouse. It can't be duplicated by any other fashion. : * P COMING vh in the color card is pink--for suits and coats as well as for dresses. Such delicate shades as orchid and nile green are reap- pearing too. They are much liked for youthful evening frocks, brides- maids' dresses, and lingerie.

Typical of the frocks being shown for the fuller figure is a navy or black ray- on crepe frock with a white feather print. The design is picked up in the bodice with tiny white sequins.

Farm on Russian Model, Urges Shaw London, April 1 -- (AP) -- George Bernard Shaw in a let- ter to The Times of . London urged Britain to turn to collec- tive farming on the Russian mo- del, The playwright said that after early Soviet experiments at sol- ving agricultural problems Stalin "found the solution in collective farming." "It 'is obvious enough--I my- self have urged it again and again--," he declared, "that to expect an average farmer to be not only a sower and reaper, but an agricultural chemist, an ac- countant, a meteorologist, a vet- erinary expert, a merchant and fi- nancier, and a resident house- kéeper, all united in a single ad- mirable Crichton, is ridiculous; yet this is our practice . . . . "The collective farm employs not only the best brains in the country, but provides as well for hodge a little holding all to him- self: The equivalent of our three acres and a cow." (""Hodge" is an English collo- quialism for a rustic), "As a man of letters I may not steal a horse, but I may look over a hedge," Shaw wrote. "My observation has cohvinced me that under our existing agri- cultural system, only two classes of farmer can succeed in busi- ness; the man who has a sensible wife and is in his shirt sleeves 16 hours a day, and the landlord of a great estate who is wise en- ough to employ professional sci- entific advisers every season to dictate the farming operation."

The concert was arranged by "Music and Ra- dio" and was broadcast to the pub- lic. "Music and Radio" expresses the opinion that "Canadian music is on the way to finding its own personality with a confidence and originality which is distinctive." Included in this program were a Sonatina and a Prelude by Violet Archer 'of Montreal, which were played by a Canadian pianist, Thelma Johannes, and are reported to have been "particularly well re- ceived." Two movements of a son- ata for piano and violin by Jean Papineau Couture, a pupil of Na- dia Boulanger, were played by Dr. Boulanger, with Mlle. Demarquets as violinist. A Divertissement for clarinet and piano by Emilien Al- lard of Three Rivers was played by the Montreal clarinetist, Ralph Masella, for whom it wag written. Mr. Masella is one of four clari- netists accepted this year by the Paris Conservatory. Another Mont- real musician, Andre Mathieu, with Gilles Lefevre, violinist, gave the first public performance of his son- ata for violin and piano, and was received with enthusiasm. Mary Stewart, a mezzo-soprano of Van- couver, sang French-Canadian folk songs. Scme of the musicians and cri- tics who were in the audience, and among them the composer, Florent Schmitt, spoke over the radio in terms of wanm praise of the Can- adian music and musicians, It was announced that Canadians are to be invited to give a concert in Am- sterdam.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am seventeen years old and have been going steady with a fel- low for four months. I am still in school, but I have a parttime job after school, and I would like to know if it would be proper for me| to give this fellow a ring when he graduates in June. If you don't ap- prove of my giving him a ring, will you please give me any suggestions as to what I could give? M. L. You'd be a very foolish girl to consider spending your part-time salary on such an unsuitable gift for this young man. In the first place it isn't proper for a girl to give jewelry to a man to whom she isn't engaged, and also the chances are that he's the type of boy who doesn't want to wear a ring. And just imagine his trying to "explain" such an inappropriate gift to his family and pals! My advice is that you settle for a graduation gift more appropriate to (1) good taste, (2) to the occa- sion and, (3) to your purse. For ex- ample, a pen or pencil; a supply of generous-sized letter-paper, per- hapg stamped with his initials, per- haps with his name and address printed on the sheets and envelope- flaps; a writing portfolio for his desk; handkerchiefs, initialed; some stamps, if he's a stamp collec- tor, or a rare or interesting coin, if he's interested in coin collecting; a wallet; several records of his favor- ite kind of music, modern or classi- cal; and, always an excellent grad- uation gift. . books, carefully cho- sen to show your good taste and your discrimination about his taste, Mother Has a Problem Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My son was married recently, and I would like to ask you a question that has deeply disturbed me about the seating at the wedding recep- tion. I considered this seating ar- rangement in very bad taste. I was seated across from the bride, my husband was seated at one end of the table with friends, and my younger son was seated at the other end of the table, I had always thought that on such an occasion my husband should be seated next | to me. Am I wrong about this? E. M. O. Yes, you are definitely wrong in thinking that you and your husband should be seated next to each other on such an occasion. At a wedding reception the only "couple" who are seated next to each other is the bride and bridegroom! Since you, the bridegroom's mo- ther, were the woman guest of hon- or at the wedding, you should have been given the place at the right of the bride's father, the host of the occasion. And Your Tushand, the bridegroom's father, who was e man guest of honor at the wedding, should have been given the place at the right of the bride's mother, the hostess of the occasion. When There Are Two Honor Attendants Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am going to be matron of honor at a wedding soon, and another girl is to be maid of honor. The bride- to-be has asked me to find out which of us, matron of honor or maid of honor, walks first in the processional, which one takes care of the bride's veil and bouquet at the altar, and in the recessional who walks with the best man, Will you please tell us? is If, in the processional, the plan is to have the matron of honor and the maid of honor walk alone (they may be dressed alike and walk to- gether, or dressed differently and walk separately), the one who is the actual witness walks directly in front of the bride and her father. It is also the witness-honor attendant who takes care of the bride's veil and bouquet during and after the ceremony, and, if there is to be mors than one couple in the recessional, the witness-honor attendant would walk with the best man, (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on What Shuld I Do? submitted by readers.

(2) From three to five weeks should be allowed for delivery of any pattern ordered.
