Paris (Up) - Soviet Russians, like the Americans Of Q century ago, have been too busy building up their country to think Of furth- ering feminine fashions, according to EIsa Schiaparelli, noted Paris couturiere, who has returned from 6 trip to Moscow and Leningrad. q,
 "Rissian women are now inter- ested in clothes" declared Schia. paxelli, "but they will never attach supreme importance to fashions as do Europeans and American wo- men, because they are too vitally interested in ell the various projects going on in their country"
 schiaparelli found that Russian women are most interested in the manufacture of clothes. They would like to learn how to turn out smart clothes in large quantities at Q req. sonable price. They asked the Pas ris dressnaaker many questions about her methods of preparing for c large collection, the procuring of materials, selection of designs and color combinations. They make all their own materials and fashion clothes from rnagazinet pictures.
 "There are two classes of women in Soviet Russia," said Gchiaparel- i. There is the professional class, which has taken the place of the nobility and includes government officials, artists, doctors. composers and writers as well as former mem. bers of the old nobility whose gyri- pathy Is with the eoviets, and also the peasant class.

 There are certain important fac- tors to remember when you're choosing Q cut of beef for roast- ing, too. If the meat is from high grade beef you can roast the inex- pensive cuts very satisfactorily or you can use the same cuts from lower grade beeves provided you have them well larded. The trump, round, bottom chuck and Boston butt all are good cuts for roasting.
 A chuck roast, rolled end lard- ed and served with plenty of the good winter root vegetables leaves little to be desired.

Don't let anyone persuade you to take 6 rest from your cosmetics as well as your cares and worries when you start on @ winter cruise to trop. ical seas and sun-drenched islands or Q trip to 8 southern resort. This is one time when you ought to usc part of your leisure to give your face the treatment you never have time to do at home. Also, the ap- plication of certain preparations suntal oil or lotion, for instance 1. most important.
 Into you cosmetic kit should go e jar of mask, suntan oil and q bottle of rich hand cream as well as the creams and lotions you gen- orally find time to use at home. In the morning. before you leave your stateroom for twenty turns on @ wind-swept deck, pat rich tissue cream into face and throat, remove with tonic, then make up. This will help to protect your skin from get- ting sunburned before you go Up to watch the sports enthusiasts wear themselves out. There are suntan creams, you know, which serve as . powder here. One of these is ideal.
 Take along all the exotic cosmet- ics you never find time to use, but which somehow fascinate you any, way. An hour instead of ten minutes in which to put on mascara and eye- shadow before sliding into frothy evening dress is one of the joys of c sea trip as far as Q business woman is concerned. The afternoon when you don't want to see Q motion pie ture you've already seen at home. use e really good mask and let t dry thoroughly before removing 1t. Your face will be bright and shifi- ing for dinner afterward. (
 Don't forget . cuticle cream. What if you have to stay up ten minutes longer to get 1t on properly before you go to bed? You don't have to get up early in the iilorri- ing anyway. Breakfast in bed is your privilege ct this point. And how about breakfast In bed? This alone has been known to eradicate wrinkles.

NUTRITION AND THE ARTERIES
 The deacon's one hoss shay stood up very well, until ct last there came Q day. Back in the gay nine- ties physicians regarded man es Q sort of one hoss shay and thought his life depended mainly on the quality of the material used for building him. I quote from the doctors bible (Osler's Practice of Medicine):
 Longevity is 6 vascular question,
 which has been well expressed in
 the axiom that "a man is as old
 as his arteries" To Q majority of
 men death comes primarily or secondarily through this portal. The onset of what may be called
 physiological arteriosclerosiS de-
 pends, in the first place, upon the
 quality of atrerial tissue (vital
 rubber) which the individual has
 inherited, and secondly upon the
 amount of wear and tear to which
 he has subjected 1t. That the for- Iner plays most important role
 is shown in the cases in which
 arteriosclerosis sets in early in life
 in individuals in whom none of
 the recognized etiological factors
 causes to you, children) can be
 found. Thus, for instance, Q man
 of twenty-eight may have the
 arteries of Q man of sixty, and
 man of forty may present vessels
 as much degenerated as they
 should Do ct eighty. Entire fari1i-
 lies sometimes show this tendency
 to early arterioclerosis - c tend.
 ericy not to be explained in any
 other way than that in the make-
 up of the machine bad material
 yas used for the tubing. More
 commonly the arteriosclerosis re-
 suits from the bad use of good
 vessels. v
 The allusion to "wcar and tear' and bad use' suggest such vague or questionable causes ag "ovcr- work" strenuous life." "large busi- ness TesponsibilitiesD and high ten- sion." These are pleasant sounding terms to cover such real causes ae lacoholigm, tobaccoisn1, syphilis overcating, chronic lead poisoning. After all, medicine has advanced appreciably since Osler's time.
 Tn Q classical work on "Prognosis' published in 1D16 pr. Henry L. Elsner presented . scholarly analy- sis of arteriosclerosig which I deem tho best text on the eubpect in the medical literature.

sidered the cause of arterioclerosis under these heads: 1 Age, 2 Here- dity, 8 Syphilis, q Worry and Stress, 5 Alcohol, 6 Lead, 2 Tobacco, 8 In- fection, 9 Occupation, 10 Overeat- ing, II Mechanical strain, i2 Cherli- cal and Toxic factors (diabetes, rnalnutrition or rnalassinilation and gout), and finally (well, we needn't number this ohe) Apprehension (high blood pressure). In Q booklet in the Little Lessons series, Build ing Vitality" I have digested some of Dr. Elsner's teachings for the lay reader, but the booklet sets you back Q dime and Q three-cent- stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, SO no doubt there are many things you'll never know about arterioscIerosis. Tn reference to Apprehension pr. Elsner said:
 "There is Q considerable period
 of hypertension which precedes
 profound changes of an organic
 nature in the arterial tree, which
 however, in the majority of cases
 is not recognized, because of Q
 natural tolerance; and the almost
 immediate compensation"
 That probably doesn't mean much to Q laynnan. But 1t implies. you should understand. that moderate elevation of blood pressure is not necessarily harmful but very often rather beneficial. So don't get ex- cited and run your blood pressure up thinking about this, tindess the Approximation is desirable to coin- pensate for some fault in your circulation.
 pr. Elsner regarded arterioscleso- sis az c progressive NUTRITIONAL disturbance of the arterial wall, which begins in the intlfna or deli- cate LINING of the vessel and is preceded by APPREHENSION. Un- der the heading of Chemical and Toxic factors he quoted Bruce: I. in these cases there is inalnutrition tissues are starved" 4.s \
 Today we begin to suspect that shortage of vitainins in the ordinary diet may have something to do with 1t. s 2l t4

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

I'm in for 1t now," said Miss Blunt to Mir. Blank, the principal.
 "What have you done?" he asked.
 "Well, I simply couldn't stand that room so decided to clean up. If some of the clothes and bodies and heads of those poor little kids aren't looked after soon, 1t won't be my fault"
 MT. Blank, who admired the courage and brisk determination of this experienced teacher, looked @ bit shocked. "Yes, I think you may be in for it--right. I'd like to see some of the letters that come in. How did you work 1t? Write notes2"
 "Yes, I did. I even suggested to Johnny's mother that she put every dud that child wears in the stove. She goes out looking like million dollars and they have Q car, too. But their boys are car, too. But their boys are Q disgrace to the town. I know they sleep in their clothes. That sweater hasn't had a bath since 1t was new in Septem- Der, and neither has Johnny. He sits right under my nose and l don't need any affidavit on that" The Indignant Mother.
 Strange to say, however, Miss Blunt received only two indignant notes from parents. There was an instant response to her uptimatum. She even received a few apologies. But Johnny's mother came herself to speak her mind. She had much to say about "old maids" not know ing anything about children and how hard 1t was to keep them clean. She would have her know too, that the sweater in question had cost five dollars and she wasn't going to have 1t ruined in the wash. His suit also had cost plenty and she wasn't intending to run up clean- ers' bills for five children.
 A little boy crossed the hall just then, and Miss Blunt spoke.
 DO you see that little fellow? He is always that way-as neat as a scrubbed stone. He has several sisters and brothers all around his age. The family lives in three rooms and an aunt cares for them because the mother is dead.
 Poor Boy Kept Clean.

 Then MT. Blank stepped up. He spread some oil on the waters, but casually mentioned the Board of Health. The lady left quietly.

 One who lives on a diet complete 1y free from vitamin A develops in- factions principally in the mucous membrane which lines the walls of the breathing area and of the in- testines.
 This fact caused one investiga- tor to call Vitamin A the anti-in- fective vitamin. This was in ere TOT, because people got the idea that the taking of large amounts of vitamin A would prevent colds and similar infections.
 While 1t is true that a short- age of vitamin A will injure the mucous membrane and make in- factions more likely, 1t is not true that the taking of large quantities of vitamin A will prevent infec- tions by the germs which bring about @ cold.
 The mechanism by which we re- eigt infection Is complicated. It concerns the condition of the blood. Much more study is neces- eary before we know exactly how q deficiency of vitamin A is as- eociated with infection.
 Tine evidence leads to the view that the likelihood of infection is not, as Q rule, affected by diet near Iy as much as 1t is affected by ex- pcsure of the body to virulent sources of infection.
 But the ability of the body to re- eist infection can be greatly re- duced by diet that lacks the nec- cssary elements.
 4 most interesting recent dis coyery established the fact that vitarnin A is developed from the substance called carotene, which is found particularly in the yellow coloring matter of carrots and butter.
 Carrots and sweet potatoes were found to be rich sources of yvitanlin A, while white turnips and Irish p0tatCes furnish but little. Now cafotene has been developed in the 1efin of crystals and is called pro- Tltamif A.

ROASTING BEEF RAISES 1
 DIsSENTION IN KITCHEN
Ezperimenss PoInt to bed wayl
By Mrs. MaFy F. Dague

I've been doing a lot of expert- menting this winter and with the, help of a family of most critical tasters, I've come to the conclusion that my beef roasts have been more tender and flavcrsorne when NOT, scared, which contradicts expert ad- vice to keep the oven very hot for twenty minutes to seal in the juices. Soaring really never did keep in the Juices, yet made 1t almost in1pos- sible to cook the roast uniformly. I've gotten my best results when !, put the roast into an oven preheat- ed to 325 degrees r. and allowed thirty minutes to the pound.
 We like beef best if it's salted about thirty minutes after being put in the oven. Salt tends to ex- tract the juices of raw meat, and the thirty minute period cooks the surface of the roast enough to avoid this.
 Roast Without Covering.
 To cover or not to cover: this is another much discussed point.

and is removed with the cream. A growing child, receiving a quart of milk and one-third of an ounce of butter, gets all the vitamin A 1t needs for proper development of It's body and for its resistance.
 Grown-ups do not require as many units of vitamin A as do children. The average grown-up who takes from 2000 to 5000 calories in his diet, requires about the same number of units of vitamin A. A quart of milk providec 1000 units, and a teaspoonful of cod liver oil more than 2000 units.
 Anyone who regularly gets milk, butter, eggs, fish, liver, or kidney, fruits and leafy green vegetables will have all the vitamin A he needs for purposes of health and growth.

Q-How are cereals malt ed? Does malting cause a cereal to be digested more easily2
 A.-The malting of grain con- sists in allowing 1t to germinate in Q warm. moist room, convert ing Q large part of the starchy material in the grain into dex- trin and sugar (maltose). The process is arrested by heating the grain when dry. Matted grains are somewhat more easily digested than unmalted ones.
