Observe some of our lady executives, of whom there are thousands. Fashion plates, they are, and of the first class, which means that the charm of their attire stresses utmost simplicity in cut and line. They look business-like, efficient, They make a tremendous effort to pree serve their femininity. The mascu- line type seems to have 'evaporated, and good riddance, She went out when curls, rolls and wavelines came in. The girl who has just joined the , grand army of wage-earners might as well be told that the busy mart is no place for the fluffy girl. Let her save her flounces, fuss stuff and jangling bracelets for revels of the evening. Neatness of appearance is imperative. Let her also remember that a spotless, unrumpled look will gloss over deficiencies of face and e. Good-looking clothes are not nec- essarily expensive ones. The thing to do is to strive to find frocks that are becoming, in good taste and suitable. And, in that matter of grooming, let us not overlook the fact that cleanliness must be stress- ed. Body freshness is important. An - important fault to guard against is unpleasant breath. De- composed food, lodged between the teeth, is the commonest cause of this trouble, though it may be caus- ed by digestive disturbances. If it persists, one should have a medical check-up. Infected teeth or tonsils may be at the root of the trouble. The shop or office is no place for the eighth grade hair-do of flowing locks, especially now, when stylists offer so many chic upswept ar- rangements that look spick and span, neat as a pin. The short crop is good, is easily shampooed and quickly arranged--a blessing to any girl who has to do a bit of house- work before she scampers off to the job in the morning. Considering the difficulty in find- The masculine type seems to have evaporated. : * ing time for sessions at the heauty shop, the hair-do should be a simple one. Elaborate arrangements are time-wasters, belong with evening clothes. Brushing the hair between shampoos not only will remove sur- face dust, but also will give the growth lustre. About the complexion: devote at least 10 minutes to its care each night. Remove make-up with a thin cream. Then use soapsuds freely. Nothing like it, really, to benefit the skin, Rinse with warm water, dry gently, apply a heavy cream. In the morning use cold water freely. Be careful with make-up. A light application of powder, a suggestion of rouge, lip colouring not too vivid. Save mascara and eye shadows for social occasions. TIPS FOR TEENS Especially for Parents By ""JINOR WILLIAMS L No dates in your life--not enough fun to brighten the day-after-day routine of school work? - That's the sad plight of this high school girl; perhaps it's (your problem, too. *"I am a girl of 15. My mother and father are rather old-fashion- ed and do not believe in dates un- til I am 18 or 19. My parents don't seem to know that I would like to go out once a week like my girl friends do. I hdve tried every way to get my parents tn rer~it me to have dates, cleaning the house on Saturday, helping wy mother when I come home from that I might be able to go to col- lege after finishing high school. "Now I can't even go.to a club I belong to because my parents say month. This club is giving a barn dance soon and I want to go very much, but my mother says I can- not go with a boy or with a group and that I must go with my par- ents. Everybody I know is going in couples or groups. I want to go and have fun for once." Most parents agree on 15 for movie dates and realize that when a girl is old enough to attend high school, she is old enough to attend high school doings such as games, club affairs and dances if she comes home at the appointed time. School activities are almost as important as studies, for they help teach sportsmanship, leader- ship and poise. Tey teactr boys and girls how to get 2long togeth- er and take part in community life. This helps to give them a normal, well-rounded personality and makes them good citizens. Try to explain this to your parents. Try this, too. When chatting with your mother each day, tell her what other girls and boys are doing--how Joan and Betty are going to a play or dance or club meeting with Jack and Don. Or tell her how that nice Bill Smith walked home with your friend Mary. Do this casually without mentioning your problems. Invite your friends to your house, too. When he sees that they are nice and well-behaved, perhaps she'll be more likely to let you have a nor- mal. social life with them.

Concert Series Violinist Acclaimed Performance by Russian-born Tossy Spivakovsky of Bala Bar- tok's violin concerto at San Fran- cisco has been acclaimed by Time magazine as "the best since the sensational debut of Heifetz 30 ears ago, or just the best, period." 'The 37-year-old violinist who be the final artist in Osha- 's 1947-48 Community Concers series, April 5, created considerable stir among crities and audience alike at his appearance with the San Francisco Symphony Orches- tra. "This is the most exciting thing that's happened since the opera house was built," the Orchestra's manager is quoted as saying, after the performance had been marked by spontaneous clapping between movements, a show of enthusiasm not usually indulged in at the opera house. The San Francisco Chronicle's critic, Alfred Frankenstein, wrote glowing words about the violinist, and the Bartok work, declaring: "This is conceivably the greatest violin concerto since Brahms ... blazing display music for a soloist to conquer."

A Physician Advises You By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. VIRUS TYPE PNEUMONIA The battle against disease is never won. We no sooner get the best of one trouble-maker than another crops up to take its place as a threat to health and life. Today, with the help of penicillin and the sulfona- mide drugs, we have all but licked the ordinary forms of pneumonia; but, while this victory was being won, a different type of pneumonia, known as virus pneumonia, has be- come increasingly prevalent. Just why this disease has changed from an exceedingly rare to a fairly common affliction within the past 10 years is not known, but the fact re. mains that it is constantly claiming more and more victims. A Slow Starter Virus pneumonia is a slow starter, so that frequently patients may be ill for from a week to 10 days before the symptoms become severe enough to bring him to the doctor. It dif- fers from ordinary pneumonia in that the number of white cells in the blood is reduced, and the pulse and breathing rates are low in relation to the fever. In most cases, the disease is a mild one, but now and then severe attacks occur which may even prove fatal. It is generally agreed that virus pneumonia is catching and easily passed from one. person to another. As the name implies, it is probably caused by a virus. How- ever, the virus has not yet been iso. lated and identified. As a general rule, it is not diffi. cult to make a diagnosis of virus pneumonia, X-ray examination Is, of course, helpful in the diagnosis. In addition, the symptoms are usu- ally typical. There is fever, which may rise to 103 degrees; headache, and a general feeling of sickness. There is a dry cough, but the pa- tient does not bring up large amounts of sputum as in ordinary pneumonia. On physical examina- tion, rales or abnormal sounds dur- ing breathing are heard by the physician, Insofar as treatment of this con. dition is concerned, unfortunately the sulfonamide drugs and penicillin do not seem to have any particular value. Hence, complete rest in bed, the giving of plenty of fluids, and keeping up the patient's strength with proper food, are about all the measures that are available. The physician will, of course, prescribe such preparations as are needed to aid in relieving the fever and cough. Following an attack of virus pneu- monija, weakness and easy tiring may persist for several months, Therefore, during convalescence, the patient should avoid overstrain and should "take things easy." A great deal more study of this disease is necessary. Efforts must be made to find some type of preven. tive or curative injections.

Without the artificial "build-up of shoulder pads which have been removed or thinned out for new fashions, we must depend on our natural shoulder structure to swing a flattering line. Most of us have one shoulder that's higher than the other. This variation may be more noticeable in new wynpadded fashions and may tend to throw the hang of a dress out of line. You can help to remedy this inequality in height by building up the low shoulder with a thinly stuffed pad to bring it up to the level of the other. Exercises will help to straighten rounded or drooping shoulders. If you spend a few minutes a day on the exercises recommended you'll be able to boast a better shoulder- line by the time you step out in a new spring frock. ; For one exercise, stand erect, about 10 inches from a wall. Brace hands against wall at chest level.

Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP)--If I had to hame the trend in Hollywood films for the new year, I would spin the compass, turn the wheel and point to the semi-documentary. In fact, I might. even hazard a guess that this picture technique 1 will have the same effect on the movies that Ernest Hemingway di? on American writing. I don't niec ® that all pictures will be semi-docu- mentary, no more than all novels are Hemingway-like. But both in- fluences contribute a new freshness and vitality. All over town you can see the up- swing in the semi-documenta¥y. Re- cently, three of them were preview- ed in the same week and each had a realism that makes studio-made films seem pale in comparison. This week, M-G-M announced that it will make a series of semi- docs (let's be brief). Louis de Roche- mont, who pioneered the field, was signed to direct. War-Spurred De Rochemont, formerly of March of Time, made the first of the semi- docs (you'll get used te the word), "The House on 92nd St." That type of picture had already been given impetus during the war with such fine films as "Fighting Lady" and "San Pietro." But they were more documentary than semi. Heartened by the success of "92nd St." 20th-Fox produced "13 Rue Madeleine," "Boomerang," "Kiss of Death" and "Call North- side T17.

All right, so the actors' faces weren't brilliantly lighted and their voices sometimes sounded hollow.

PHONE 760 Dear Mrs. Beeckman: i I like a certain girl very much... and I also like my class ring very much, like its appearance and de- sign, like to wear it, am proud to wear it. Recently this girl has "hinted" that she would like to have me give it to her, or at least let her wear it. I don't mind, or at least I don't mind too much, letting her wear it. But what if our friendship should break up . ) . would it be 'proper for me to ask her to return it to me, or do you think I might have troutle getting it back? Bob. Well, Bob, I'm inclined to think that at the moment your class ring is really of more importance to you than this girl ... . and, if so, you'd better hold on to it, at least until you're gurer of your feelings, and of the girl's reactions to possessions. Certainly it's proper for you to esk her tc return your ring whenever you wish it back, and-*certainly she should want to return it to you. But not kncwing the girl, I can't be so certain as to whether or not you'll "have trouble getting it back." For I'm constantly amazed at the num- ber of girls who have such a strong and unyielding "gimme" complex that apparently nothing can pry them loose from something they've been given . . . notably returning the engagement ring after the en. gagement has been broken, or re- turning a fraternity pin that was the symbol of an engagement now broken, or a class ring or even a boy's family-heirloom ring. So, Bob, know your gal before you give (or "lend") her your ring! Wedding Plans When "The Mothers" Aren't On Speaking Terms Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Most unfortunately my flance's mother and my mothef had a quar- WHAT SHOULD 1 DO ABOUT The Return of a Ring? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN rel several years ago, and have not spoken to each other since. (The quarrel had nothing to do with our engagement or our marrying.) Now I want to have a large church wed- ding and a reception, and I am wondering if this will veally be pos- sible under such an unhappy cir. cumstance, What do you really think about this? M. H. If, as I moest sincerely hope; you can depend on the two mothers be=- ing sensible and self-controlled enough to behave in a grown-up way in the moments when they will or may have to meet, it will certainly be possible for you to make your dream of having a large church wedding and a reception come true. I would wisQi, of course, as would anyone, that this misunderstanding could be erased, forgotten and for. given in the happy plans for your wedding . . . could you and your flance possibly bring this about? If not, there will be no occasion for your worrying about the church pro- cedure, since the groom's mother and father take their places in the first pew on the right of the aisle before your mother is escorted up the aisle by the head usher, and after the recessional they are escort. ed down the aisle after your mother and father are escorted down the aisle. Then plan the reception most carefully: instead of having the mothers also in the receiving line, have only bride, groom and the bridal attendants, or even only bride and groom . .. any of these procedures is correct. Also instead of having general sit-down service, have only a bride's table, and buf. fet service for the rest. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer queStions submitted by readers.) By ARNOLD J. PEARSON Minneapolis--(AP)--That chatty breakfast food you virtually inhale in a few seconds in order to catch the 7:52 for the office might have as much as 10 years research be- hind it. The simplicity of shaking out a few kernels or flakes from a package belies the trials and even tribulations behind development of today's breakfast time-saver so the breadwinner can get off to work anfl the little woman can complete her chores in time for the big afternoon bridge date. Research as extensive as that associated with highly technical scientific problems has gone into some of these cereals which vir- tually "speak" to you during the morning meal. There are no hit-and-miss tac- tics or "potluck" results in the big testing kitchens of milling compa- nies producing the cereals. One household breakfast favorite has 10 years of research behind it. But all of the testing wasn't per- formed in the laboratory. The pu- blic itself, with its critical taste buds, took part in the development. One company, in 1931, decided it would like to market a ready to-eat oat cereal. The first pro- blem was selection of the proper type of grain. Market analysis sup- plied that answer when a survey showed that rolled oats as a por- ridge was one of America's old- est and favorite dishes. How to prepare it for quick serv- ing in the home and how to shape the individual kernels were among a host: of problems. Consumer tests by the hundred were conduct. ed. The cereal was developed first in disc form. Later it was decided to produce the cereal in the shape of tiny doughnuts. The new look gave it Careful Research Produces Popular Breakfast Food more custumer appeal. Meanwhile, engineers in the mechanical division of the milling firm were busy over the drafting boards designing and testing special processing equipment, a gigantic task in itself. : The result was a special "gun" in which the cereal is puffed, after being cut into the tiny doughnut shapes, There were many side-excursions in research on the nutritional value of the product after the ingredients specifications had been decided up- on. Extensive tests in this phase of the development resulted in the addition of vitamins to enrich the cereal. : Among other major problems were those of efficient plant pro- duction of the cereal. Another task was the design for a package at- tractive to .the customer. ' Though a product becomes =a breakfast-time favorite, the re- searchers still aren't finished.
