BUNDESEN, M.D. ------ PRE-OPERATIVE DIET IT used to be thought that the patient undergoing serious opera- tion fared better when Kept on scanty rations both before and after his session with the surgeon. Today, we know proper feeding of such patients is one of the big- gest factors .in speeding, their re- covery. It is of chief im nce to supply enough protein, the material needed for rebuilding and repairing tissues. Proteins come from 'such foods as meat, milk, eggs, beans and peas and wholegrain cereals. Amino Acids Proteins are made up of sub- stances known as amino acids. How much protein the patient needs fol- lowing operation depends on hdw much has been lost before and dur- ing the operation and on the length of the recovery period. The greater the loss, the greater the need for replacing the protein in order to lessen the surgical risk and hasten recovery. The value of the protein depends upon the kind of amino acid it con- tains. There are about ten amino acids which cannot be made in the body, and these must be supplied in the form of protein foods which contain them or by giving what are known as protein hydrolysates. These are proteins which have been broken down by chemical processes into aming acids and which can be given, by mouth. One of the essen- tial amino acids cannot be substi- tuted for another. Of course, other food substances are necessary in order that the pro- teins may be properly utilized. This includes minerals and vitamins. Even if only one of the necessary amino acids is lacking, there {s.in- terference in the formation of body tissues, despite the fact the other amino acids are adequately supplied. There may be cases in which the patient is unable to take food. For example, there may be a tumor pre- sent which blocks the food passages, and "an artificial opening ip,the small intestine may be required, in- to which the food may be placed. Well-Balanced Diet Presuming that the patient can eat, of course, he should be given a well-balanced diet containing the necessary protein foods. This can be supplemented by the giving of pro- tein hydrolysates. However, the product used should be one which supplies all of the necessary amino acids in the proper proportions. The starchy foods, sugars, and fats will not aid in building the traditional feather mount. | Immediately there was a demand | for straighter tartan skirts with | plain jackets of the shorter length | and Scottish bonnets, | Plaid checks, glen' checks and clan tartans are all being used in coals, suits and dresses--especially by Scottish designers.

Attention to these matters of diet, both prior to and after operation, will do much to speed recovery. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS L.

The average female of the species thinks of style first, foot health not at all. She gives more care to her vacuum cleaner than she does to her hoofs. One of life's mysteries, that's what it is. Stand on the street and watch the shoppers hobble past. Not one in ten appears to be "walking in beauty like the night". They can't because their feet hurt. Uncomfortable feet affect posture, can ruin the fine linés of the figure. They put frowns between the eyes. They cause even saintly dispositions to get as mean as all get out. They will make the prettiest frock look * duddy because it is not carried | beautifully, with splendor. So, when | you go shoe seeking, do take pains | to find the correct last. Looks isn't | > everything. You can find style and comfort both if you take the time for it. Leather-Soled Styles Modern shoe craftsmen lend a hand by turning out shoes to fit the fussiest in a rich variety of leather- soled styles. Good foot balance is achieved by the proper heel height, breadth of heel and a firm and flex- ible sole foundation of genuine leather. New models come with per- forations in interesting designs and strap treatments of all kinds, buckl- ed, elasticized, sabot and T straps. Several outstanding shoe design- ers in Paris recently acknowledged that experts in no other pation can excel Americans for combining comfort and style in one shoe. Since we have the best in the world, what folly it is not to deserve them by keeping the footies in a healthy con- dition, Then we can enjoy these sar- torial luxuries. Empire Awaits Coming Birth Of Another Possible King or Queen By ED L. CAMPBELL ; London--(AP)--To the cheers of millions last November, the greatest | royal wedding in history made Prin- | cess Elizabeth, heiress-presumptive | to Britain's throne, wife to Philip, | Duke of Edinburgh, and erstwhile | Prince of Greece and Denmark. With that brilHant wedding the | elder daughter of the King cap-| tured and held world headlines. | Now, nearing the year's end, she] again is the central figure in a world event--the expected birth of | another possible king or queen. Ahead of her lie perhaps years of quiet motherhood. She herself | plans it that way. The headlines | will go back to her parents and to | her vivacious younger sister, Prin- cess Margaret. But the year now passing has been and will be hers. | The wedding was followed by a The great Paris visit May 14-17 was all that even a fairy-book prin- cess could desire. Cheering crowds greeted their every appearance. French pfficialdom showered them with honors. She was given the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honor, Philip, the Croix de Guerre. Some dour Scots disapproved of their Sunday trip to Lonchamps race course, and a brief newspaper controversy raged. Elizabeth renewed her public én- gagements. She spoke at the re- opening of bombed Coventry's cen- tral square, became an honorary Doctor of civil laws at Oxford Uni- versity and was accorded the free- dom of Cardiff. Then the Palace formally an- nounced June 4 what all the world knew; the Princess was going to have a baby. She made a few more public appearances. She visited a Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP)--So you think being a movie star is a young per- son's job? Would it surprise you to learn that the average age of top male stars is 40 years? And for the women--32 years? Those are two of the startling facts I have uncovered in a survey of the 100 top stars in United States movies, First of all, we must understand what a star is. Not every film per- sonality is a star, The best way to judge is whether the person's name means anything at the box-office. Does the person attract a large audience on the strength of his or her name alone? Strangely, there are more male stars than female. Thus*it was harder for me to narrow down the men's list to 50 names. But I final- ly reached a count of 100 names, equally divided between the sexes, and the list contains every star who is really important in Hollywood. The matter of ages is a big eye- "opener. The male average of 40.7 and the female of 32.4 years may cause some controversy about whe- ther the screen is giving youth suf- ficient opportunity. Of course, it can be argued that some of the younger players have not reached star status, and it takes time. Oldest male star is Wallace Beery, 59, and youngest is Mickey Rooney, a 'nere stripling of 28. Marlene Dietrich, the world's most glamorous grandma, is the eldest of the ladies at 44. Film vet- eran Shirley Temple ranks young- ést at 20. The hundred. stars have served a total of 1,341 years before the cameras. Male stars have averaged 14.4 years in the movies, the women 11 years. It should be noted that some of them worked here several years before reaching stardom. The highs and lows: Myrna Loy and Joan Crawford, 23 years apiece; Lizabeth Scott, four; Wallace Beery, 35 years; Burt Lancaster, three, Does a college education help one becoie a movie star? The record answers no. Only 33 of the 100 stars went to college. Several never got beyond grammar school. RIPE OR GREEN The banana may be used either as a fruit or a vegetable. When partially ripe it should be consid- ered as a :;archy vegetable much like the potato and should be used only cooked. In the ripe state it is a sweet fruit and should be eaten raw. Bananas are rich in vitamins and minerals. They are valuable members of the diet.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: "A" says that anything that is marked for a man, handkerchiefs, shirts, towels or other linens, ac well as other personal belongings, such as a_ silver photograph frame or humidor or cigarette case, should be marked with initials. "B" says it is just as correct to use a mone- gram designed from the initials. The owner of a very smart linen store in our city agrees with "A." Do you? ! Frances Yes. "A" is right. Initials, not monograms, are used for marking men's belongings. And this is an important thing to remember, in these days when men's handker- chiefs, particularly, are being order- ed for Christmas presents. Also, the initials should be of simple design. (Often the three initials are énclos- ed, one under the others, in a loz- enge; or the initial of the surname may be a large initial in the center of the group. This Invitation An Alternative To Call on Parents of Son's Fiancee Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 'My son is engaged to a very fine young lady whom he has brought to my house several times, and whom I like very much. But I am perplexed as to what to do about meeting her parents. My husband and I are divorced, and in this cir- cumstance I am not sure what I am expected to do. Should I call on the parents of my son's fiancee? Most likely I'll feel a little embar- rassed, but I want so much to do the right thing. Please help me. A. E, Since you already know your son's financee and have welcomed her to your home and as a member-to-be of your, family, it is not so essen- tial that you make this call on her parents, particularly if you feel any hesitation concerning the circum- stance of being divorced. So my suggestion is that, instead of going to them to make this call, you invite them to come to your house with their daughter. Telephone or write a note to the girl's mother, tell her how happy you-are about the én- gagement and how devoted you are to their daughter, and say how de- lighted you would be if she and her husband would come with their daughter to your house so that you can all get acquainted. Be sure to suggest a definite occasion, perhaps dinner some evening or Sunday midday dinner or luncheon, or to tea on Saturday or Sunday after- noon, or just to come for an even- ing chat together. Suggest the type of "occasion" most convenient for you. Don't feel hesitant about in- viting them to your house because perhaps you can't invite them to dinner, instead, invite them to "come with your daughter on next Thurs- day, if convenient, about eight-thir- should be evaporated in the typical | ty." and then, after a talk together house or apartment.

Correct to Use "Miss" on Business Cards, Even After Marriage Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I have been a business woman for some years, and my name is an im=- portant part of the position I have been able to make for myself. My business cards are engraved (for example) Miss Mary Donaldson. Next month I am going to be mar- ried to a prominent professional man here, but (because of financial - responsibilities I have for my moth- ed.and sister) I will continue in my business position. Because of my fiance's social and professional posi- tion, I would like to keep my busi ness life and our social life as sep- arate as possible. Would you advise me to continue to use my maiden name as I have always® used it? And if so, and this question particu- larly bothers me, should I use my name on my cards as Mary Donald- son, or as now, Miss Mary Donald- son? In other words may I ise Miss Mary Donaldson in business, even after my marriage? Reader Yes, even after your marriage, it is correct for you to continue to have Miss Mary Donaldson engrav= ed on your business cards.

Parliamentary Squabble | Back to London they came in mid- | January to face one of two unpleas- | ant incidents that marred the year | --a parliamentary squabble over the | amount of money the country should allow them for expenses. The fig- ure finally was set at £50,000 ($200,- | 000) a year. Elizabeth and Philip set up tem- porary housekeeping in an apart- ment at Kensington Palace. This unimpressive red brick building hasn't much to commend it as a modern home, but fire had destroy- ed the Sunningdale Pafk country home which the King had planned for the couple; and staid Clarence House, their town residence, was awaiting bomb damage repairs. The Princess plunged into a busy round of engagements in February --a speech at the opening of a club for non-commissioned officers, a farewell address to the troops leav- ing for duty in North Africa, a visit to Tower Bridge juvenile court. She participated in a big society wed- ding and went to a music hall. On February 18 she and Philip were involved in a minor motor mishap. No one was hurt. The last phase of the wedding ended Feb. 28th. with the closing of the public exhibition of her wedding gifts at St. James' Palace. March started with more public appearances. She and the Duke spent two hours--like many newly- married couples--touring an Ideal Homes exhibit. She visited a Lon- don diamond-cutting factory with Queen Mary, and saw for the first time a 54-carat pink diamond given her as a wedding present. The first rumor of her pregnancy was published--in the United States --about this time. British publica- tions quickly picked it up but Court circles refused comment. Moved to Windsor April brought news that she and Philip were going to Paris. About this time, Elizabeth moved down to Windsor Castle with her parents and caught a cold.

Mrs. Elizabeth Musto, principal assistant in Vancouver's Public Li- brary, was one of 50 librarians at- tending the UNESCO Library School held in London. The brief month's course cost $500. "The most exquisite English was spoken by a Haitian, but Indian and Chinese representatives also spoke marvelously,' she said. The school concerned itself with the mystery of the whereabouts of millions of European books, and learned about the pools of replace- ments operating in London 'and Paris. "The schqol was a tremendous experience in international living,' said Mrs. Musto. "The only sour note was the refusal of two Polish students to speak to one another.
