give the impression of increased elaboration.
 This feeling for detail expresses itself everywhere, running through out the entire fashion program. An excellent example in point is seen in the little touch of white or nude that is added at the neckline and wristline of almost every dress. If it is a tailored one the idea is merely the conventional line of white linen or pique.
 In more formal dresses. particu- larly black ones. greater ingenuity is offered first in the alternative o1 ping, nude or white, and again In the many ways in which the accent is applied. It may be a facing that brings out to best advantage the individual cut of a collar or draped neckline, or else this facing which is quite prominent in dark dresses may emphasize a panel or released edge of a tunic.
 In all the velvet dresses, for in- stance, that one associates with formal afternoon wear, the lace yoke or scarf is practically regulation.

Health Hints
By DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Med ical Association and Of Hygeia,
 the Health Mapazine.

The man living on the earth is ex- posed constantly to a certain pres sure of air. This pressure varies according to the altitude or height al which he lives, commonly esti- mated in relation to the pressure at sea level.
 At sea level the weight of air above the earth represents a pres sure equivalent to that of column of mercury 760 millimeters high or about ] , pounds to the square inch. At height similar to that of Mt. Everest. some 23,ooo feet, the pres sure is one half as much.
 When a man goes down into the sea as in diving and in engineering work carried out under water in Caissons and in tunnels, he is eX- posed to much higher pressure. In very deep sea diving men get pres- sures almost 10 times as great as at sea level. In fact the pressure in- reases another 5 pounds to the square inch every 32 feet of fresh water or every 5 feet of salt water of depth.
 The modern methods of work un- der water involve the use of caissons or tunnels from which the water is kept by pumping in compressed air.
 Investigation of the men working for considerable periods under such cir cumstances reveal certain symptoms
 which they suffer as a result of the | increased pressure
 The first thing noted as the pres | sure increases is a sense of pain and pressure in the ears. II is the result Of blocking of the tube that passes from the ear 10 the throat and
 which tends to equalize the pressure
 on elch side of the ear.
 This tube sometimes becomes ! blocked when one has q cold, hence
 the feeling of pressure and fullness | in the ears. Deep sea divers get
 psed to the feeling and know how to
 overcome il by swallowing or blow l ing with the mouth shut.
 The most serious symptoms that
 occur develop when the men leave the compressed air atmosphere and
