OR- IDNR, TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE BEAUTY FOR YOU Bh Low-Down on Make-up By HELEN JAMESON > aleimining and painting the hining countenance is a pastime hat has been going on for centur ies, probably will go on as long as women inhabit the earti. Getting out thie make-up kit is fun. A little coloring on the cheeks and lips helps a4 woman to forget her birth« days. We have réason to thank the cos- metic chemists, Let us also be grateful to the heroic - ploneers among us who decided that synthe tic aids were thelr rights, and they'd use them, by heck, no matter what the sanctimonious woman next door had to say about it. As if beauty aids have anything to de with character or morals! silly! Because women are getting more and more interested in matters per« taining to health and hygiene, com- plexions in general have jmproved --texture is better; wrinkles are staved off. But, for some reason or other, natural blushes are lacking. y because life is delirious, activities pressing, High-powered existence causes strain and tension. Few women get as much sleep as they should; periods of complete relaxation seem impossible. So the skin is pale; no roses bloom there. The rouge compact 1s first aid; rouge, lipstick and powder pad form a unity that can transform a unity that can transform a Wwo- man, There's a big difference be- tween the before-breakfast face and the after-breakfast mao, as every woman of forty or mote realizes. If all women realized that the light touch with make-up brings an a arance of freshness And youth- fulhess, while the heavy hand makes a woman look hard and brittle, the faces we pass on the streets would be easier on the eyes. Enough is enough. Too much is a good-looks crime. The free use of cream conditions the skin for powder. High lights not accepted pleasantly by a y custaneous surface. Use a cream ft night after the bedtime face- washing. Apply a little more in the morning, wiping it all away. Then fluff on powder, adding a little more as seems necessary; that vy (©) REO DOD) SINC { ND " AES When applying lipstick, cover the entire lip surface, * ab is a better method than plopping i a padful and removing the sur- us.

When applying the lipstick, see that the entire lip surface is cov- ered, which means that the crim- son pigment must extend to the lip ends. Form clear-cut lines.

For purchases which promise longer wear, take tips from cloth ing and textile experts. If your little stem-winder has been bursting out of blouses which button on at the waist, put him in blouses with tails. These blouses or shirts yield better to strain when a boy stoops, jumps or flings out his arms, Boys' shirts with open necks or convertible collars and short sleeves fre not outgrown as quickly, ex- perts claim, ag shirts with button. ed-up collars and long sleeves. If there are metal eyelets or lac- ings used in the boys' shirts that you contemplate buying, see that these fastenings are securely clamped. It is also wise to check on the fabric which holds such fastenings to see if the weave seems tight enough to resist pull- ing out from the metal eyelets or lacings.

BUNDESEN, M.D. ip -- HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE HIGH blood pressure is rot by any means the bugbear that it onge was. Due to greater knowledge, the hopeless outlook of scene 20. years |: ago is today giving way to greater optimism, Even tho we do not have a cure, medical sdience can now do much to gnable people with higlr blood pressure to enjoy long and happy lives.. Their symptoms can usually be relieved and serious | complications avoided, particularly where the 'condition is discovered early, High blood pressure, 'also called hypertension, is a disorder in which the pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries is greater than normal. Pressure may go up during exercise or as the result of emotional excitement. However, this rise lasts only a short time and {8 not abnormal. But, if the pressure goes up frequently and stays up, the condition requires attention: Possible Causes There are many possible causes of high blood pressure. Sometimes it is associated with kidney disor- ders; with infections in the teeth, tonsils or sinuses, or with disturban- ces of the glands of internal secre- tion, such as the thyroid gland. However, in the majority of cases, the cause of the rise in the blood pressure cannot be found. It is known that high blood pres- sure occurs most often in middle- aged or elderly persons. There may be a history of high blood pressure in the family. It also tends to oc- cur in those who are overweight, rather than in those of normal poundage, High blood pressure has a bad effect on the body because it makes: the heart do more work than it should, and sooner or later this causes the heart to enlarge. Hard- ening Of the arteries {is another consequence of high blood pressure, and - the kidneys, eyes, and other organs suffer in consequence, High blood pressure may be pres ent for some time without produc- ing any noticeable symptoms. In mild cases, there may be an occa- sional attack of dizziness or head- ache. The only way to tell whether or not the blood pressure is normal is to have it taken by a physician. Of course, every person of middle age or over should have a physical ex- amination every six months, or at least once a year. Then, should high blood pressure be present, it can be detected, and such measures as are available may be employed to bring the pressure down before serious damage has occurred. Moderate Work The person with high blood pres- sure must be moderate in his work and play. He should avoid fatigue, eat a well-balanced diet, particu- larly avoiding overeating, and try to keep calm and develop a serene frame of mind. Excessive nervous- ness is a contributing cause of high blood pressure. Many physi¢ians recommend phe- nobarbital in the proper dose for those with high blood pressure. Phe- nobarbital is a sedative or quieting drug, Of course, a person with high blood pressure should be under the care of a physician at all times. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. I. R.: What will help a child who is very nervous? Answer: 'Tue first step In the treatment of the nervous child is to seek the cause of the trouble. Faulty habits of hygiene should be corrected, and if disease is present, it should be cured. Bodily welfare is the foundation of steady nerves.

If they are rough ang red you want to hide them. You go reluctantly to the bridge party. If they have coats of white satin finish, if the nails are exquisitely rosy ahd beautifully contoured, you're inclined to show them off, And why not? Pretty hands are something to yodel joyfully about. Behavior depends somewhat upon appearance. Isn't it the truth? Dressed in one's best, one has a feeling of spirit and gaiety. One's hands should always be beautifully dressed. Hands Need Lubricants All the year 'round, hands need lubricants, lotions and loving care. Ab this season of the year almost | any woman is inclined to forget about the creams and the lotions that are necessary to keep human paws in first-class form. The best and blandest soap is not too good for them, +» 2 If one is fussing with plants, as many are this time of year'it is a good plan to add a little cornmeal to the soap suds when renovating after a period of gardening. The tiny grains dig grime out of knuckle creases, The starchy content of the meal makes the skin soft, smooth and white. Try it sometime. And, while you are at this job, plunge your fingertips in the pulp of a cut lemon. The juice will white the hail eaves in a jiffy. Use Hands Gracefuily Make an effort to use your hands gracefully, Professional dancers have hand movements down to a fine art. Observe them carefully, note the exquisite pose of the fingers, the flexibility of the wrists, the relationship between the move- ments of the hands and the body. That is an interesting stiidy, and will give you ideas that can be put to your o¥n use. Grace is the very essence of beauty, and grace ex- | pressed by the hands is particulatly | engaging and attractive, [ Fashion Hashes. GROWING taller is the umbrella, in keeping with the longer lines | of today's clothes.

I've had the st handy for some time now, wa't- ing for someone to dash up and ask for it So far, no takers. Here's my selection: "Citizen Kane," "The Long Voy- e Home," "A Btar is Born," "Gone ith the Wind," "The Lost Week- end" "Yankee Doodle Dandy," "Modern Times," "Great Expecta- tions," "Going My Way," "The Aw- ful Truth."

All they oan talk about is economy, foreign market, television, anti-trust, box-office slump, ets. I ean remember when movies. Spoiled by Job ruining my enjoyment of movies. That comes from peeping behind the scenes too 'much. When I see a tidal wave on the séreen, I think of how it was staged in an over- sized bathtub, The other night I Saw a movie . starring Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson. Instead of watching their acting, I kept my eyes on their toupees. Are pictures better than they us- ed to be? The Motion Picture Academy has been showing some of its old winners to give its members A chance to judge that question for themselves, After seeing "Cimmar- ron" (1931 winner), I thought films had come a long way. Irene Dunne and Richard Dix were fine, but the drama was often overdone, some- times downright corny. Only the great land rush scene remained as great as I remembered it. All Magnificent Then came "Grand Hotel" (1932). Brother, they don't make pictures like that any more. Garbo, the Bar- fymores, Crawford, Beery--all were magnificent, Two things gave the Academy audience big laughs: 1. When Gar- bo said thrice "I want to be alone" (she has finally gotten her wish): 2. When John Barrymoré gave a gentle pat to the Crawford poster- for. Where were you, Mr. Hayes Ho hum. Things have been pret- ty dull in Hollywood. No excite- ment, Lana, come home!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY By Mrs, Beeckman - One of the most disappointing kinds of thank-you notes is the one 'that vaguely thanks for "your present" . . . with nary a word about what the present was, and so nary a word of appreciation of its special features.

DRIED FRUITS HAVE FOOD VALUE Dried fruits such as dates, figs, | raisins and currants are high in fuel value, due to their low mois- ture content, and richness in sugar, The dried fruits are practically the only ones which carry much cal- ciuth and iron.

Prunes which beleng in this same group of fruits are rich in iron and good sources of vitamins A and B.
