GROWING FIGHT.
FACES BYRD

Political leaders Of Virginia
are beginning to grid themselves
for one Of the stiffest fights in
history Of the Old Dominion.
Senator Harry Flood Byrd,
elected last fall to the unexpired
term of Secretary of the Navy
Calude A. Swanson, faces strong
opposition next November, II in
dications are correct.
Several aSpirants for Senator
Byrd's place are preparing ground
work for their campaigns. Among
them, it is said, is former Rep
resentative Joseph r. Deal Of
Norfolk, defeated last fall when
he ran in the Democratic pri-
mary for governor.
Republican groups are seeking
a strong candidate to oppose
Senator Byrd, should he be
nominated. Republican factions
appear ready to bury the hatchet
and consolidate.
Representative Howard w.
Smith Of Alexandria, who faces
a split in the Democratic party
primary this summer, will be
opposed by several Northern Vir-
ginianS.

The fact that this designer will make the bridal, as well as the gowns her mother and sisters will wear at the marriage ceremony, would iri- tlicate, however. that the stream line silhouette he stresses this season will be strongly featured, Princess Marina loves simplicity and long flowing lines, too, which iss the reason why Molyneux had been making most of her clothes for the past two years. s

ROLL OUT OF BED RIGHT

A mining engineer submits the comment from old Kentucky:
 am 65 years old and have lead an active life, with plenty of exer- else as mining engineer (not the consulting kind on a swivel chair in an office, but carrying a transit through extensive mines often as low as 45 inches four days week..
 Forty-five inches doesn't seem as low to me. Of course it is low enough if one is to be planted. Per sonally I'd druther return to the clements via the atmospheric route. However, maybe this 45 inches is engineering jargon that passes over my head.
 For many years I've been read | ing your columns and have prac- i ticed many of your recommends tions with good results.
 I have been turning six somer- saults across the bed every morn
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-08

ing. The first time I made a mis- calculation and landed behind the bed on the floor, none the worse for the experience. I believe the somersa ults have had decidedly favorable effect on me.
 For about year have been doing your belly breathing exercise reg ularly. This has greatly relieved me of attacks of asthma or bronchitis to which had been subject for many years.
 My family doctor has advised me to retire, but prefer to wear out rather than to rust out.
 And so on.
 | This is no joke, rolling half q dozen somersaults each night and morning. The mining engineer probably thought so when he hit /, the floor behind the bed, Certain ly I have never suggested any such silly performance.
 Get out of bed and down on tho solid floor if you are going to roll somersaults. At first use pad oi pillows or whatever you wish tc soften the floor. But after you've mastered the art of rolling 'em, and coming up on your feet smiling and especially rolling lem back wards, you won't need any pad Your hair protects your head.

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Breast Pang.
 Please publish in your column the symptoms and cure for angina pectoris. Is this limited to the -7 race only? (H. c. S.)
 r Answer-There are no charac- teristic symptoms, and if there were we couldn't publish. them, this being a health service. An gina pectoris is not limited to any race. Angina means choking, sore throat or cramp-like pain. Pectoris means in or of the breast or chest. Angina is correctly pronounced with accent on the first syllable, though usually the accent is placed on the second. In my case it is not condition to trifie with, and so can see no good reason why layman should attempt to study the symptoms.

| s to fs How to care for the new fall lpermanent is a problem that sems to bother most beauty-minded
 women these days. Though modern permanent waves are a vast inn provement on the old types. every girl who gets one realizes that her hair needs special care afterward. In the first place, permanent is very we'll if you happen to have shining locks come under the
 headings of normal or dry. you simply have to do something to
 counteract the drying effects of 1.-the wave.
 Hot oil shampoos are the an-. swer. As matter of fact, they're the answer to the majority of
 scalp and hair troubles. If you wash your own hair, simply mas sage warm olive oil into the scalp the night before you plan to sham poo. Put some on the dry ends, too. Wrap clean towel around your head, leave the oil on all night and shampoo the next morn ing.
 Use Liquid Shampoo
 l Use a liquid shampoo. There are good commercial ones on the market today. However, if you lprefer to make your own, save
 small pieces of bland (preferably
 castile) soap from the bathroom. put them in jar with little
 warm water and leave until the
 soap is dissolved.
 If you have trouble combing your hair after shampoo, try a vinegar
 rinse. It will take out the tangles and leave the hair soft and shiny. Put one cupful of vinegar in a
 quart of luke warm water and. after you've washed and then
 rinsed at least twice, pour the vine- gar and water over your head. Then rinse again. making sure to l remove every trace of the vinegar. Brush Only When Dry Don't brush permanently

Princess PrOUeS

By ROSETTE HARGROVE tNEA Service stan Correspondcnt) lDARIS Anyone who may l have any doubts about the level headedness of Princess Marina, who will marry Prince George of England soon, need only have accom- panied that very good looking young woman on her four-day shopping tour, here.
 AS a matter of fact, she bought clothes only for her visit to Bal moral, where the king and queen of England greeted her as their future daughter-in-law. The brt- dal trousseau is to be decided upon when she returns to Paris at the end of this month.
 Madame Suzy, of the Rue de Ia Paixy had the privilege of making all the hats the princess took with her to England. While Princess Marina seemed to prefer the new and pert little turban shapes which this modiste launched for the fall and which was herr first choice when she arrived in Paris, she nevertheless included two brimmed hats in her collection. She wears both styles equally well.
 Reveals Sure Dress Sense
 Princess Marina revealed very sure dress sense, as well as a marked artistic gift in the matter of color combining even in the few clothes she selected. Tweeds and jerseys were her choice for the sports clothes to be worn most of the time at Balmoral and which she says she feels best in. A few simple dinner dresses and one very luxurious evening ensemble for for- nal functions were added to the extensive wardrobe she possessed before.
 It is evident to everyone who approaches the princess that she is very level-headed young lady. Her betrothal has not made her lose her good judgment-shc buys judiciously and we'll.
 She chose brown, red and green for her day clothes, in tweed. jer- sey and rough wool. A brown tweed suit was made with jaunty little jacket complete with pockets and youthful turned-down collar of nutria, and slim skirt. With this she will wear a shallow Breton sailor in matching felt. A selec- tion of blouses and sweaters in vivid cclors such as green, red and yellow offer a variation of color schemes.
 The travelling ensemble Moly- neux made for her was in rust red jersey and boasted of a sim pie, one-piece frock topped by an easy fitting coat sporting the new Molyneux bell sleeves and practi- cal pockets. A rather high velvet toque with modernistic badger and quill motif went with this outfit.
