We don't have to give the matter a thought, A grand idea. Otherwise some of the lazy sisters would waft away from this troubled world, be seen no more. As it is, there are may shallow breath- ers who, if they would properly air- condition their lungs, would have more colorful complexions, brighter eyes, petter digestion, neater figures. Professional singers know the benefits of proper breathing, its ef. fect upon the voice, what it does for grace and poise. They draw in the air until the diaphragm flattens, the chest expands the full limit. They know that, through proper breath- ing habits, one experiences a sense of exhilaration and well-being. This 1§ no miracle; it is easily ex. plained.

L It Takes Years of Experience To Cook Without a Recipe The woman who cooks with a 'handful of this, a dash of that, a piece of butter the size of an egg and a teacup of sugar, usually turns out very acceptable dishes but she is always a homemaker with long years of practice. Then there is the experienced chef who is really a creative artist and approaches his cooking as a painter develops his picture with bold strokes: such a chef scorns recipes which cramp his style and e the element of chance out of is cooking. " But Mrs. Average Homemaker prefers to have good reliable re- cipes which she follows exactly in measurement and manipulation. 'If she knows the general rules for cooking eggs, meat, cereals and vegetables and has a few standard recipes that always give the same excellent results, she will soon win a reputation as a perfect cook. With basic recipes for cake, bak- ing powder biscuits and white sauce and a little imagination, endless 'delicacies may be made. Standard Cake One-half cup shortening, 3-4 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 cups sifted pastry flour, or 1 3-4 cups sifted all-purpose. flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1-4 tea- spoon salt, 3-4 cup milk. . Cream shortening until fluffy; gradually cream in sugar. Add beaten eggs and vanilla and beat thoroughly until light and creamy. Mix and' sift flour, baking powder and salt and add a third at a time alternately with milk, combining lightly. Bake in a greased cake tin (8x 8 x 2 inches) in a moderate oven, 350 degrees F., for 40 to 45 minutes. Turn cake out on a rack to cool. This cake may be varied by dif- arent icings or by the addition of dces, nuts, raisins, cocoanut or eel added to the batter before baking. Baking Powder Biscuits Two cups sifted all-purpose flour or 2 1-4 cups sifted pastry flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tea- spoon salt, 3 tablespoons shorten- ing, 2-3 cup milk. Mix and sift flour, baking pow- der and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Add milk slowly to make a soft but not sticky dough.

Story of Toronto Written for Children Canadian cities, large and small, will be included in the new Child- Ten's Library of North American ci- ties announced this week by BEditor- ial Associates of Montreal and Bos- ton. The series will consist of eight a year, designed for readers between the ages of seven and twelve. Four books each year will be about cities in the United States and four about Canadian cities. The {first United States city book has already been published and test- ed for reader, teacher and librarian reaction in various parts of the Un. ited States and Canada. A colorful, gay and very readable volume called "A Children's Guide to Boston", it established the formula which will be used on all other books in the series. "A Children's Guide to To- rontd" is now in production and will be published early next spring. Ottawa, Montreal and Winnipeg are next on the list for Canadian publications, though not necessar- ily in that order, with Wash ) Gloucester, Mass, and New York next in line in the United States. Books are being publistied by the same firm which introduced the two Canadian children's books, "The Children's Book of the Saguenay" and "The Children's Book of Great Lakes' which are already available in book stores London--(CP)-- A magnolia tree district which bloomed last Spring, in southeust London's Camberwell now is blossoming again. --WEAK---- cranky 'every month' ?

Dia- betes is a case in point. This con- dition occurs when the pancreas--a gland located in the abdomen--falls to make emough insulin, the sub- stance which enables the body to use sugar properly. 'We don't know just what the con- nection is between this disease and hardening of the arteries, but phy- sicians are will aware that diabetic patients readily develop complica- tions of this kind. Of course, hard- ened arteries are bound to develop to some extent in elderly people, but the process takes place, earlier and more frequently in with dia- Bleed Retina Fifty to per cent of all diabetics, f instance, develop hardening of fhe arteries of the re- tina or back part of the eyeball. As a result, these arteries frequently break and bleeding into the retina occurs. Such bleeding may develop without interfering with the "eye- sight and may stop with or without treatment. Recently it has been found that changes in the retina, which accom- pany diabetes, are, in most in- stances, associated with a decrease in the amount of protein in ve blood. A high protein diet therefcie has been advised in such cases; that is, a diet containing an abundance of meat, milk and eggs. It is also helpful in such instances to give large doses of Vitamin C and Vita- K Hardening of the arteries in the legs is common in the patient with diabetes. This, of course, interferes with the circulation in the legs and may be responsible for pain and other symptoms. The pain In such cases is present when the patient is resting. There may also be some color changes in the skin and a sen- sation of cold. These symptoms in- dicate that the damage to the art- eries is severe. Improve Circulation 'Treatment in such instances con- sists of efforts to improve the cir- culation. In some cases, cutting of the nerves which control the action of the muscles and the blood vessel walls may be helpful. If interfer- ence with the circulation is so se- vere as to lead to death of the tis- sues, treatment with penicillin is of value in controlling the infection. Damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys also may occur in dia- betes. It is found particularly in mild or moderately severe diabetes together with high blood pressure. Hardening of the arteries in the brain also occurs, but the symptoms do not differ from those which de- velop in patients who do not have diabetes. It is important for the diabetic to remain constantly under the care of his physician; so that the disease may receive proper treatment and be kept under control. 'QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J. E.

GLAMORIZING How to Have a Pretty Mouth Knowing that a pretty mouth is a beauty asset, Gloria Jean, of the movies, gives hers a light massage along with her nightly creaming. LJ * * IF you would have pretty lips, don't fancy that the red pendil is going to do the whole job, The lips must be soft and relaxed. If they aren't one is likely to be in for trou. ble; little up and down lines will form on the upper lip. Parenthesis furrows may dig in from nostrils to the mouth corners. Should it happen that these lines have formed, give them a. special treatment when doing your nightly complexion creaming. Place {finger and thump at the lower end of the line, pick up the fles, massage up- ward, Then, starting at the lower terminal do little circles with the finger, working upward; at the nos- trils do an up and down smoothing stroke, Ice friction is helpful, To let the mouth corners droop is had business. Even if you are cheer- ful, you won't look it. The effect on the facial fibers is deplorable, They become weakened, and, in time, the face carries a perpetual look of dole- fulness. The sags go further. The flesh along the jawline may lack tone: After that a second chin may appear to fret and torment one. A good way to keep the muscles of the lower portion of the face firm and healthy is to whistle or blow. Blow at an imaginary thistle down and see what that does to the lesa at the side of your mouth. The mus- cles of the cheeks are exercised. After each blow draw in your cheeks, relax; blow again, A Real Affliction A sagging' jaw line is a real af. fliction, It can be pulled back by means of massage with a heavy cream, stroking from chin tip up to the ears, The free use of astringents will tighten the strelched skin somewhat. United States, Britain, France Ransacked for Antiques New York--(AP) -- Mrs. Roslyn Rozier thinks that in another 10 years dealers in antiques may have sold themselves right out of busi- ness. Mrs. Rozier, a dealer herself, says "we are running out of things to sell, and people are beginning to realize that junk is junk--and not buying it. "There'll be collections from es- tates to be broken up and a few pegple will always be wanting to sell. But even now we are finding plenty of trouble getting good stuff. The American, French and Bri tish countrysides have been ran. sacked and fine-tooth-combed." Al] along New York's antique row on Third Avenue, dealers say busi- ness is swell. They agree the big de- mand is still for 18th and 19th cen- tury English furniture, Chippen- dale, Hepplewhite, Adams and Sher. aton, Things are so active in the antique business that dealers have little chance to worry about any bare showrooms in the future. Period pieces, as Mrs. Rosier wry- ly pointeti out, aren't like automo- bile or modern furniture, turned out with an eye to meeting demand. The supply is strictly limited. The Unit- ed States customs department, for one thing, has decreed that an an- tique is an article made before 1830 (such articles sre duty-free), It's the demand which fixes the prices. Mrs, Rosier, wliose 50th Streel shop specializes in imported anti. ques, estimates prices have increas- ed 150 per cent in the last nine years. It was in 1939 that furniture factories started converting to the production of such items as army cots and barracks furnishings. "Pri- ces went up when autiques were about all you could buy," Mrs, Ro- sier said. "Now they have dropped a little for the second class stuffy but high prices are holding on the good pieces. There's a big demand." Big Advance In Price She pointed to a handsome chest she recently brought back from France, "That's a perfect piece of French Provincial, with a bomba-curved front," she said. "Before 1939, it would have sold for $260 or $276. Now it's priced at $1,000. A number of people are interested in it." Most dealers, including Mrs. Ro- sler, agree French Provincial has been coming into its own during the last {ive years, It's smart, hard to find--even in France--and ex. pensive. "Incidentally," said Mrs. Rosier, "prices for antiques in France are as high or higher than they are in this country. People with imoney to invest are buying antiquest instead of stocks and bonds because they are afraid of conditions there." Paul Joseph of the Olga Erlanger establishment on 57th Street said the continuing demand for antiques is the result of gradual easing of the housing shortage, "People couldn't get what they wanted during the war, and now they are ready to spend the money they saved," he said. "The timeless stuff, Chippendale and the others, always is in steady demand. Right now we are feeling the demand for French Provincial, and that, of course, never is easy to find." He said the bottom has dropped out of prices for later Victorian pleces, although there is a steady call for early Victorian--'sort of like Louis XV and really not bad." New Leaflet Will Help Parents Answer Child's Question on Sex Ottawa -- Tell your child the truth about sex. That is the advice given by the Department of Na- tional Health and Welfare in a publication just issued to help par- ents meet the inevitable problem of sex information. Happy home relationships, it stresses, are necessary foundation stones for a child's proper emo- tional development. What should parents tell their children when questions are asked regarding sex? What is important for the child to know and how should one go about telling him? The leaflet--first of its kind to be produced -- poses these questions and then proceeds to answer them: It points out that every child learns about sex, the names for sex organs, where bables come from and other information, and if he doesn't get the knowledge from his parents, he gets it from other sourc- es which are usually inaccurate and misleading. The cardinal rule in giving sex information, it states, is to frank, forthright. Give the child enough information to answer his immediate question and in language that he can understand. Always use the correct names for bodily parts and tell him that such mat- ters are best talked about only in the family circle. Parents are advised concerning the young child's explorations of his own body and his curiosity about the origin of bables. "Not only what you answer but the way you answer is important." Tell the facts casually. Lying or evading the issue is likely to cause unheal- be | that physical relationship. thy interest in the subject and worty. Don't try to cover the en- tire field of sex in your answer -- just enough to satisfy his curios- ity at the moment. Questions about sex should be answered just as matter-of-factly as questions about where the snow comes from. The questions the child will ask about sex will be few and far between. The parent should bg glad when the subject is brought up because then he will have the chance to inform the child correct- ly and guide his thinking about sex in a healthy manner. It is just as important to use suitable occasions to explain sex to the child ag it is to have the right, simple words. When the child asks a question, such an opportunity is] handed to the parent. The folder cautions that the child should riot grow up to regard the physical aspects of sex as a whole story. "Love and devotion between parents should be apparent to the child as something based on more If your child doesn't ask questions about sex, it means that his natural cur- iosity has been somehow curbed." A list of recommended reading material on the subject is carried by the folder which ig the latest in the series of child training publica- tions to be issued by the mental health division of the Department of National Health and Welfare.

Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood-- (AP) -- Larry. Parks is at it again. The Olathe, Kans., actor once more is stepping into the well-heeed shoes .of Al Jolson for a sequel to the mammy-sing- er's film biography. I found Larry stripped to his shorts after a spir- ited session of Jolson-mugging. "People don't realize how hard work this is," he panted. He de- monstrated how he works. After turning on a protograph, he steps before two huge mirrors, affording a front and side view. Jolson's voice booms out the song "Baby Face" through the small re- hearsal room and Larry watches himself mouth the words, grimace gesture and cavort. The number of times he listens to a number runs into the hundreds. That's a lot of Jolson when you consider there are 20 to 30 songs in the new picture, "Jolson Sings Again." | Larry said he gets to the studio at 9.10 in the morning and sonte- times doesn't get home until 6.30 at night. Not only that, he also does some listening at home. "I have to play the phonograph quite loud," he said and it's driv- ing his wife, Betty Garrett, some- what batty. "Luckily it's getting along toward winter so I can keep the windows shut and mot bother the neighbors too much." There's one neighbor he doesn't worry about, though. That's the cellist across the street who prac- tices scales in the morning and has his friends in for late evening chamber music sessions. Better Story Remembering Larry's aversion to- ward repeating the role, I asked him what changed his mind. "It's a better story," he declared. "I saw the old picture again recent- ly and I realized it really wasn't very good. Except for the last couple of reels, which were good, it tried to cover too much ground." Of course, there's another reason for his change of heart--A spank- ing new Columbia contract which has other actors drooling with envy. RICH IN OIL Oil is Iran's greatest natural re- source.

Finest Quality Tea 'SALADA ORANGE PEKOE Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My mother and father, bless them! are to celebrate their Sixtieth Wed- ding Anniversary in November. My father is "as fit as a fiddle," as he says, but Mother has been quite ill, is still weak, and is confined to a wheel chair, We had decided to have no celebration of the day, but when we read your suggestion the other day to the daughter of a mother similarly afflicted, you made the planning for the celebration so sim- ple .that my sister, brother, and I decided to have at least a few of Mother's and Father's dearest friends come in, and to have the wedding anniversary cake you sug. gested. (We've never had such a cake. even at their Golden Wed- ding Anniversary, because it had never before been called to our attention.) But the hours of the celebration bother us, you suggested either 4 to 7 or 3to 6, or 4 to 6. But I doubt that Mother could talk with the guests for this length of time. Have you any other suggestion as to "hours" that would be more adaptable for us to name in the invitations? Frances 8.T. Best of all, wisest under the cir- cumstances, would be to name one hour, a specific hour when the "bride and groom" will cut the cake, Say this plan in the invitations, 'Please arrive at four o'clock, for a few minutes after four Mother and Father will cut their Wedding An. niversary cake, and we want. so much to have you here for this significant festivity. And the party will be over at five o'clock. Mother and Father so very much want to have you with them on this Great Pay, so please say you'll come!" I'm so glad you're going to have the cake. Above the center have the dates outlined (1868-1948); below the center, their initials. The cake WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT A 60th Wedding Anniversary? By MRS. CORNELIS BEECKMAN should be a white "lady cake," the icing white, the dates and initials in different color. Tie a gay white bow on the cake knife, perhaps a big cellophane bow. Have your mother, the "bride," cut the first piece (the bridegroom's hand on hers in loving reassurance and helpful guid- ance) and share it with your fa. ther. During the ceremony, the guests should stand, and after it, your brother might propose a toast, with the fruit punch to be served with the cake, "To the Bride and Bridegroom, with all loving wishes from each of us, for their happiness and welfare!" Your father should give his "bride" a corsage to wear on this great occasion. This Wife Doesn't Know Correct Procedure Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I've been asked to be an usher at the wedding of a close and long- time friend of mine. In the wed- ding party are the best man, enaid of honor, six bridesmaids and six ushers. My wife (we have been married only a year) does not know the bridegroom very well, and has only recently met the bride. But she insists that she should have been invited to be a bridesmaid since I am to be an usher. What is proper about this? . Bob D. Your wife is entirely in. the wrong in her point of view, she should find out what's correct about such procedure before she allows Qerself the privilege of pouting! Na. turally the bride wishes to have her intimate friends as her attendants, just as bridegroom wishes to have his intimate friends as his atten- dants.
