PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1948 | BEAUTY FOR YOU Necks Need Attention By HELEN If the average woman will tell' the truth about her beauty sins and shortcomings, she will"confess that she seldom gives her neck a thought. It gets a soapy scrubbing once or twice daily. Not a fluff of powder. Not a smidge of cream to keep it smooth. Poor thing, it is the Cinderella when the good-100ks party is on. It hasn't done any- thing to deserve neglect. But it may get even with you. It may go dingy or yellow. It may develop fiddle-strings or necklace lines. The far-sighted woman who 'attends to her good-looks chores wards off pul- chritude troubles. It would seem as if the average woman does not look below her chin, Certainly she doesn't when she applies the gardenia-like pow. der with the lamb's wool pad. The result is that the complexion and the neck get a color divorce. The face is neatly powdered. Cheeks are all rosy. Lips are poppy-red. Eyblashes are darkened. Eyebrows are kept in form. But the neck may be deecidedly on the blink. All of which is not in line with even the simplest rules of beautifying. Why not make a complete job while you are at it? The neck, even more than the complexion, needs lubri- cating and petting. And especially now, when the season 'of tan and sunburn approaches. Coat collars that are not care- fully brushed are tough on necks. They can produce blackheads along the nape line. Ever think of that? Bet you never did. A woman's face may be her for- tune, "but there is a string to it if her neck has started to go to seed. No need of that. When the nightly creaming is going on, start at the collar bones. Then the throat will not be overlooked. Smooth up and down with flattened fingers. Throw your head back while doing this, but don't have the muscles tense. Muscles and tissues should be re- laxed if massage is to bring satis. factory results. Start in the front of the neck and work toward the sides; include the. rear portion. Give your ear lobes a few creamy wallops. It is'in front of the ears JAMESON Owirbuted by King Frame Syndicate, lac The woman who is reducing must watch her neck. LE . that premature wrinkles may first appear; the tissues there are soft and thin. If the color of the skin is dark, sponge it with peroxide. The best plan is to use cream at night after washing the face and to apply per- oxide in the morning after spong- ing the throat with cold water to mak? the tissues firm. Let the per- oxide dry on. If the color is espe- cially dark, use equal portions of peroxide and strained lemon juice. That combination, by the way, is a friend to the girl who is a freckle fighter. The woman who is reducing must watch her neck--and her face, too-- so that the tissues will not go into a state of dissolution. She should use heavy emollients with light friction and plenty of cold water.

BUNDESEN, M.D. HYPOTHYROIDISM EASILY RELIEVED Sometimes a weman in her 30's or ear!" 40's will worry vaguely about her health because she begins to feel so tired. Not only does she lack her usual energy but she suf. fers a good deal of annoyance due to absent-mindedness. The chances are that she will also have noticed a change in her skin and hair -- a troublesome and excessive dryness-- but usually she will not connect this with her other symptoms unless she goes 'to a doctor. «Unfortunately, many such women do not seek medical aid and that is a pity because their condition is so easily corrected if it is due to a] lack of secretion from the thyroid gland. And this ailment can easily be relieved by the giving of thyroid extriet. . Exact Cause Unknown This condition is called hypothy- roidism. Babies are sometimes born with this disturbance, but it can develop at any time of lifee. We have not discovered exactly what causes it, but we do know that it is most likely to occur in women be- tween 30 and 40 years of age. The symptoms, of course, vary according to the severity of the deficiency. When there is great lack of secretion from the thyroid gland, the patient develops what is known as myxedema. The skin is pale, slightly yellow, and dry. The eyelids are puffy, and the face has iittle expression. The lips and tongue are large and the voice coarse. The hands and feet are often swollen, and the hair is dry and scanty. Some patients are overweight, but others are exceptionally thin. The heart rate is slow and the blood pressure either normal ot low. feeling 'of tiredness. dryness of the skin, lack of energy, and absent- mindedness. Many such women have disturb- ances of the regular periods. They may have hot flashes and pain in the lower part of the abdomen. Others may complain of sickness to the stomach, vomiting, excessive gas in the bowel, or constipation. It is fortunate that there is a test known as the basal metabolism test that is quite helpful in detect- ing hypothyroidism. This test is carried out by having the patient breathe through a tube connected with a tank and measuring the amount of oxygen used up in a given period of time. When the meta- bolic rate is below normal, it indi- cates that there is a lack of thyroid secretion. In most patients who develop symptoms of hypothyroid- ism, the -basal metabolism will be more than 20 per cent below aver- age. Another symptom of hypothyroid ism is anemia or lessening of the number of red cells or the coloring in the blood. Thyroid Extract Perhaps the best method for diag- nosing hypothyroidism is to give thyroid extract and note whether or not the patient responds to the treatment.

Of course, thyroid extract should only be used under the doctor's di- rection in the dose which he pre- scribes. Large doses are rarely nec- essary, and they often prove dan- gerous. When treatment with thyroid extract is started, patients with hypothyroidism usually show improvement within two weeks. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. V.

Though the sun is not yet high in the heav- ens, it soon will be, pouring down its blistering rays against which the complexion must be safeguarded. || Hollywood - Highlights BSB BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP)--Jcz E. Brown the oven-mouthed comic who has conquered nearly every entertain- ment medium, is going after tele- vision. : He plans to go to Chicago for a two-week stint as a baseball an- nouncer on television, and the idea ghould prove a natural, since Joe has been associated with baseball during most of his career. (Re- member "Elmer the Great") Joe feels that he knows the game well enough to be accurate in his an- nouncing and that he can add life and color to the telecast. Need Better Comedy Said Joe: "The great need today is for better comedy. "Hollywood is going the wrong way, The public is begging for en- tertainment, laughs escape from their problems. But the film-mak- ers have been concentrating on arty efforts. I think the academy awards are 'fine, But every film can't be a winner and shoulda't be made with the awards in mind. There are too many 'message films, "Where are the comedians to- day? There aren't many, compared to the comics in films a decade ago. I wish I had five of my old comedies in release today.

WHAT SHOULD 1 DO ABOUT Signing By MRS. Dear Mrs. Besckman: Will you pleas: answer two ques- tions concerning the proper form for signing a friendly letter or greeting card? (1) If I am the one signing the letter or card, should I sign "Ann and Frank Brown?" And when my husband is signing does he sign his name first or mine? (2) When our son's name is included in the signature, what is the form? . Reader (1) It is naturally courteous for the one signing the greeting card to write his or hér name last. When you sign, you write "Frank and Ann" or "Frank and Ann Brown." When your husband signs, he writes "Ann and Frank," or "Ann and Frank Brown." However, many hus- bands prefér to have their wives sign their own names first, and so quite customary (and also consider- ed correct) is "Ann and Frank," ev- en when the wife signs. (A note or a letter is signed by the one writing it, with any message from the other or others included .in the body of the note or letter.) (2) When a nature, the fathor's name should nature ,the father's name should come first . ...

Yesterday in the late afternoon 'a friend of my mother's came to call. I was reading in my room, and when the telephone rang and Mother asked me to answer it, I was very rude and asked Mother why she didn't leave Mrs.---- and answer it herself. Mrs. ----1left soon after, and when I came out of my room to say good.by toy her, she was very cold to me and said I had been rude to my mother and to her. Now I certainly agree with her. I have apologized to Mo- ther, and now T want to write a note to Mrs.---- asking her forgiveness too. I really like her very much, she has been very kind to me, and I want to ask her to give me a chance to show how sorry. I am. Will you please suggest. an idea of the form for this méte? Thank you.
