Importance of Health

"to be beautiful you must be in love-"
Vibrant beauty depends on many
things for support. The very first in
the line Of important contributors is
physical health. For without health
beauty can at best be only temporary
1T may last for a fleeing moment
or for month. but it cannot live long.
You cannot be beautiful If you
are not healthy. Have you ever
seen a man or woman suffering
from i'll health who did not wear
the "give aways"-dull eyes and a
heavy skin? Sooner or later "the
skin will show" For the signs of
i'll health are not confined to inner
aches and pains.

Two of fatigue's busiest assistants
are overwork and nervous strain and
tension. So steer clear of these. too.
Boredom is another arch-enemy Of

interesting beauty. When life goes
blase, when there's no joy in living

out and all bodily beauty goes "smash."
Akin to boredom is general, dis

centrate on, usually find the fates
quite kind to their beauty. 1 think
that is why they say people In love
are lovely.
The actual cultivation of external
beauty--silky skin and glossy hair
is simple-particularly in this day and
age when science is contributing so
lavishly. But that inner peace and
contentment, the beauty within that

Scientists Fight Pests
With Natural Enemies

Entomologists, it is reported. are
gradually changing their method of
warfare against our insect foes. In
stead of attempting TO discover eff
fective insecticides, they are now
seeking methods of causing insects
to war against each other. Fortu-
nately the insect world is never real
ly at peace at any time. The ire
mendous reproductive powers of
this form Of life are offset by the
bugs. flies and birds which prey
upon them.
The best way TO keep the coddling
moth under control, it has been
found, is through a tiny wasp and
likewise the neatly bug is best kept
under control by its natural enemies.
Instead of searching for insecti-
cides. therefore, the search is for
the natural enemies of the pest ii is
desired to combat and these are then
imported or increased by protection
from their natural enemies in turn.

Famous Beauty Expert
Conflicting Beauty Theories

a L LEAST once In every day of a
beauty editors life comes the
cry: whats body to dO-So and
SO says do and So and SO says don't
and how can one avoid being bewil-
dered by so many conflicting beauty
theories
The answer invariably is: Study
yourself, your own needs, accept the
theory that appeals to your best judg-
ment as being good, sound sense. Give
that theory chance, be persistent
have faith and your efforts should
brings results. Beauty experiments
should be thorough, not haphazard, fly
by-night affairs.
No one hears more conflicting beauty
theories than beauty students them
selves. In quest of the reason for be-
ing of feminine loneliness, one finds
that successful exponent number one
observes every fundamental beauty
rule on which most beauty experts
agree. Her daily ritual consists of ex-
ercise, faithful eye to balance in her
diet, sufficient fresh air and restful
sleep, daily facial with all the prep
arations of the same brand, careful hair
brushing and similar beauty details.
But exponent number two, equal
ly as young looking and equally
as beautiful, points with pride to
the fact that she observes nary
beauty rule. No sir. Not she.
But-are beauty students bewil-
dered? Just as emphatically-no
sir. For they know that there must
be catch some place.
1t may be that the beauty under dis
cussion is just naturally healthier and
lovelier than the average.
Then there's the owner of a beautiful
figure who never exercises. But ev-
cry day she walks two miles, and ev-
cry evening she swims in the pool in
her apartment hotel. AS though these
aren't the two best all-around exer-
cises. Furthermore, she keeps her
muscles under splendid control by per-
feet posture.
A screen star know, says: "Diet-
BAIL eat anything l like" but evil
IDENTIFY from what I've seen of the
lunches I've had with her, she has no
desire for rich, fatty foods.
The moral Of these stories, is:
don't be bewildered and don't attempt
to initiate. If your favorite actress
thrives on a mixture of cosmetics,
that is no indication that your skill
will stand the same kind of treatment.
Or, if your latest crush seems alive
and alert monty three hours of sleep,
that is no clue for you to start stay
ing up nights. Know yourself, know
your system, your resources, just what
you can stand and what you can't, and
work only for what will be becoming
to you.

Designs in Light

The Photographic portrait artist re-
quires background for his pictures
and recently the idea of making q
background by the use of electric
lights has become popular. The rays
from lamp are projected onto the
plain background through a loosely
arranged piece of foliage and the
effects are often very beautiful.
Decorators have taken up this idea
and shades are being arranged over
electric lights which throw a pretty
design upon the wall or ceiling in
light and shade.

Business men who should wear their coats and
keep their ties tied will be able to work as
ergetically and as smartly appearing in the sum-
mer as in winter, and their clerks and stenog-
raphers will have the alertness and desire to
please that helps so much in retaining the pat
ronage Of old customers, and building up good
will with new.
The answer to the brighter existence held out
by aeroogists to followers Of almost every ac-
tivty is based on the fact that despite the hot
test temperatures and most depressing humid
iy of the working hours man woman can
stand them day after day If they are able to
sleep soundly in real comfort and repose, in
stead of fitfully and uncomfortably.
When air conditioning experts talk about
homes and buildings with closed windows, a
chorus Of public thought sings out with these
intersections: what about carbon diOxide? How
about headaches brought on by closed stuffy
rooms? How about that depressing feeling that
oyercomes us when we don't get enough fresh
air? You forget what doctors say about fresh
air"
The answer is on file in the public documents
of the federal government in Washington. Priv
ately many members of the medical profession
have known for some years that factors other
than lack Of so-called fresh air causes head
aches and nausea in crowded places. But few
have had the courage to be outspoken in the
