States are said to spend annually
$1,000 900 Just to be beautiful.
Good looks, pleasing appearance,
radiant cleanliness and even beauty
are sold and delivered in the American market.
Not only Is beauty bought and sold, but it
has become one of the chief concerns Of the
masculine as well as the feminine mind We
tell each other You are looking splendid" or
You look like million dollars"
We dig down into our pockets and joyfully
pay out hard-earned cash for bottle or
tube or a jar that win help get those COM
ments from our friends because we are being
told that pleasing appearance gets us the
job we want, theadates we want, the girl we
want, the man we want, the society we want
and most of the other good things Of life. It is
, no longer good form to ask about ones all
ments. We aren't supposed to have any. Long
ago the beauty business and the health busi-
ness joined hands with cleanliness, and on that
foundation the beauticians, with their cos
metics and their lotions, have built tremen-
dous industry
But what is the cold truth about the amount
Of money We are spending to be beautiful? Do
these aids to beauty really make us beautiful?
Is the expenditure a luxury or is 1t in reality
a necessity? Are we really spending as much
as we ought to on personal appearances?
These are some of the questions recently put
to the experts of the chemical division Of the
United States Department of Commerce who
of the beauty business.
soT'HE annual money turnover in the beauty
business is undoubtedly very large, prob
ably a billion more dollars but just exactly
how large it is nobody seems to know" said
F. A. Delgado of the chemical division Of the
Department. of Commerce. 1T Is an infant
industry baby whale Of a business"
Wall Street operators now capitalize beauty
enterprises and buy and sell stocks in perfumes
and toilet preparations National magazines
carry lucrative pages of beauty advertising, and
the cosmetic counters of department stores are
among the busiest in the house.
"All sorts of interesting straws from the
manufacturers and dispensers Of beauty prep
arations drift into our offices which show the
direction in which the wind of that industry is
blowing" he continued.
'"The genealogical industry itself has esti-
mated that it may be the fourth largest in the
United States-ranking only below such IN
dustries as the motor vehicle, the iron and
steel, slaughtering and meat packing and
clothing Enthusiastically there is no authentic
source for these figures At best they are esti-
mates.

The president Of the National Educa-
cation Association. DR.. Willis A. Sutton,
happens to be superintendent Of schools
in Atlanta. He has learned by expert
ence that there is no such animal as a
bad boy" One of the hardest cases
OF "incorrigibility" he encountered in
his earlier years as principal was that
of lad who, on physical examination,
was found to have IL infected or
Assessed" teeth and other silent de-
fects. Proper medical and surgical
treatment brought about o spiritual
regeneration, and today this "incor-
rigible" or delinquent" youth holds an
important position in the engineering
department of his State.
It does not follow from this one
swallow that Summer is here You
can't expect to make bad boys behave
by pulling their teeth or hacking out
their adenoids or feeding them vita
Minis One swallow does not warrant
any such sweeping conclusion. But a
whole flock of swallows
Dr. Sutton took this one boy as an
example from a class of 81 boys ex-
PEELED from other high schools and
voluntarily taken into his own school
To make good students and eventually
good citizens out Of these delinquent
youths, the doctor required the services
of 10 physicians and 5 dentists, in
addition to the usual staff of high
school teachers. Within 10 weeks he
was able to send 81 Of the boys back
TO their own schools, and the whole
group went on and graduated from high
school, 80 of them entering college.
Even so,' there may have been a few
bad eggs, morons, detectives, degen-
erates-or criminals, if you prefer
among the group. No one imagines
that bad heredity can be remedied by
medicine or surgery, and you are pretty
certain to find few unfortunate VIC
