Sebum is peculiar Oil substance
secreted by the sebaceous glands
of the skin. 1t is natures own
complexion cream. It is the only
oil or grease thath is necessary to
keep the skin soft, clear and beau
tiful.
In normal young persons there is
likely to be an increased function
al activity of the sebaceous glands
in the teens. This produces the
excessive oiliness or shinp appear
ance of the skin and the excessive
oiliness of scalp and hair so COM
monty seen in healthy young per-
sons. The condition is given vari-

dollar line; Of course if you'd care
to go higher .,
The skin oil serves to keep the
skin soft, flexible, smooth, warm
and clean. 1t is water tight, and
1t forms a thin clear protectice film
over the surface, which catches
dust and CRIME and makes it easy
to cleanse the skin when these
foreign substances accumulate on
it.
The sebaceous glands are scat
tered over the entire surface of
the skin and scalp but are larger
and more numerous in certain
areas, such as the scalp and the
surface of tide proboscis. They
pour out their sebum or oily sub
stance upon the surface through
the same duct that conveys the
sweat to the surface from the
sweat glands, and this common
sweat and sebaceous duct empties
into the we'll of a hair follicle. The
mouth of the common oil and
sweat duct is popularity called a
pore" though of course that is
not the correct name for it, since
nothing is or can be absorbed or
taken into the system through these
excretory channels. Don't let any

If You WANT COOP TEETH
By DR.. J. M. WIsAN


Chairman Council Hygiene Society

How often do dentists find pa
tients willing to spend hundreds
of dollars on their teeth but I'M
willing to give their mouths the
benefit of systematic dental care?
One of the most perplexing prob
lens confronting the dentist inter-
ested in the preventive phases of
his profession, is how to obtain his
patients cooperation.
Modern educators interested in
health education inform us that
presenting facts concerning health
protection to individuals does not
imply that the suggested health
habits will be adopted. School
teachers realize that merely telling
the children that certain foods,
such as milk, are valuable for the
growth of healthy teeth. does not
mean that pupils will drink the
necessary quart of milk per day.

/. Certainly. Parents have no
right to hold any such attitude
unless they have made their child
into a mollycoddle and weakling.
Then they have failed in their own
supreme God-given duty which is
to teach their children to stand on
their own feet. Children should
constantly counsel openly with
parents, about love affairs and
everything else, but they are going
to be failures in life IL they do not
learn the greatest lesson in life,
namely, reliance upon themselves
and willingness to take the conse-
quences. You cannotN grow ply
sically strong by watching someone
else exercise or grow mentally
powerful by permitting another
person to do your brain work.

Fantasy, Freedom Stressed In Winter Hats
CREATIONS MADE FOR ENSEMBLES SHOULD Also ATTRACT THEMSELVES
BY JEAN PATOU
written for NEA Service)

(Wfltten Tor 0EA DcrShccl
Paris-To every dress mode
there is a corresponding hat mode.
but this fact must be interpreted in
its spirit more so than in the letter,
The hats 1 offer this winter were
of course created to accompany the
new ensemble, yet they are suffi-
GENTLY Independent of them to be
attractive in themselves.
Having often expressed my de-
sire to achieve harmony in dress,
most of my clients know how
firmly 1 believe that all the acces-
series of their toilette, especially
their hats, should form a very hon.
ogenous whole. Each one of them,
therefore, should be created stimuli
taneously.
On the other hand, whoever at
tempted to transform hats into
mere compliments of dresses would
only condemn them to monotony
and make them lose all interest.
The main attraction of a hat is
precisely its fantasy, its liberty and
its unexpectedness. To endeavor to
make it a mere tributary of a dress
would, simply mean the complete
humiliation of all its qualities.
While these contentious appear
somewhat contradictory, 1t is al
ways possible to compromise. But
it Is easier to achieve a beautiful
ensemble If both sides are accepted
as general principle and not rig
orously applied. After all, a sue
cessful hat worn by a well-dressed
woman cannot possibly offer a dis
cordant note, even though it may
have been created absolutely in
dependently of the ensemble. A
certain number of hats shown in
my present collection are a direct
result of this compromise.
With an apparently simple dress,
especially If it be dark of coloring,
the hat must then necessarily be
the feature which adds gayety to
the ensemble by its color and
movement. In this case fantasy is
absolutely necessary, but here again
the note must never be over
stressed.
Generally speaking, a lighter hat
can only serve to enhance a dark
ensemble. With a black outfit, a
black hat may present a satisfying
and elegant solution, but the gen.
eral impression is altogether toe
somber and sad. In such a case the
hat calls for a touch of :. fantasy
and while this may not always be
to my taste, ! infinitely prefer this
to complete absence of a relieving
note.
Some original effects are to be
noted this season by the novel use
of velvets and felts, the latter
treated more like fabrics and per-
mitting more drapings and trim
ming features than has been seen
in hat styles for many years.
