Glorityimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

For instance, if your budget ole lows for hand lotion but not for skin tonic, turn to your old friend, lee water. Apply 1t lavishly at night after ycu have cleaned face and throat and slap plenty of 1t on in the morning before you smooth on foundation cream or lotion. Any skin expert will tell you that fec water-and even ice applied direct- ly to the skin--stimulates sluggish circulation and tends to refine the pores. Also that Q weak solution of lemon juice makes Q fine bleach for elbows and hands.
 As far as masks are concerned, the kitchen provides ingredients for ct least three excellent ones. Even screen actresses who can well of. ford expensive treatments often treat their skins to milk facialS. Simply clean your face, pat on milk, let dry. apply another layer and leave on for ct least twenty min. utes. Rinse off with leo water.
 If you use on egg mask, clean your skin, pat on Q layer of beaten egg white, lot dry, then apply c lay- or of whipped yolk. Let this dry. Repeat in layers until oil of ono egg has been used. Rest for half an hour. Remove the mask with cold water. If you have dry skin, finish with cream.
 An oatmeal mask consists of plain, uncooked breakfast oatmeal. mixed with enough sweet milk to form Q smooth paste. Put 1t on clean skin, lot dry, then remove with leo

Make Your Talk Shine By
 Using Right Words

No tongue-ties in this happy groupI Their talk flows freely, Joy. ously because each one knows how to hit the nail on the head with just the right word
 For example Joan hasn't fallen into the poverty-stricken habit of calling everything "nice.' She freshens up her talk with charm ing" pleasant" delightful" "en- joyable." Instead of branding everything she doen't like as "aw. full" she shades her meanings with such words as "dull," "tiresome, "displeasing." depressing" She knows the difference between such words as "cease" and "stop," begin" and commence"
 Joan isn't highly educated or overly blessed with good looks. But she's learned (and 50 can youD how to make words shine. Our 32-page lesson booklet gives lists of right and wrong pronunciation of words, tells haw to avoid colorless talk, how to use words that are alive with per- sonality.

Jessie brought home the lamb chops and forgot to put them in the ice-box. Tag jumped up on . chair and gorged on choice meat. Her mother came home and called the child careless. So she was, but all children are.
 Aunt Mary gave Jessie Q new purse for her birthday and put . dollar in it. Jessie took it to school and lost 1t. There was 0 hole In her coat pocket and she forgot. Why didn't you tell me you had c hole in that pocket7" her mother waEt- cd to know. "You arc 90 careless ! don't know what to do with you"
 She took Q five dollar bill to the drug store when her daddy sent her for cigarettes. She came home with three dollars and eighty.five cents. The mistake was discovered when they totaled up for the night, and the dollar was returned, but dad called her careless for not counting her change.
 From morning until night poor Jessie was told she was careless about something or other. And she was. ALL CHILDREN ARE.

 But then - Mrs. Smith, her mother, knew very well that the spare-room' window was up when she went to the club meeting. And It looked enough like rain for her to take an umbrella. The storm came and the wind blew and the rose drapes were soaked when she returned.

NUTRITION AND IMMUNITY
 Just as long as we have in the medical profession two schools oi thought--the docs plunging ahead and the orthodocs holding back there will be some who call 1t cri and some who solemnly assure you 1t is due to change of weather, . draft or wet feet.
 I don't mind the orthodocs sound- ing of about "the common cold" for 1t seems to me there is genuine humor in their attitude. Or maybe my sense of huinor is abnormal. Al any rate have to chuckie every time read c ponderous dissertation on the nature, cause, prevention and cure of common colds", because t is 50 obvious that the particular author expresses his personal views and that every other orthodoc who discusses the subject ct all likewise expresses his own personal views, The discerning reader must inevit- ably conclude that science is wol1- derful.
 The orthodocs, that is, the reac- tionaries, the oldtimers, who assume that because doctors have always believed Q thing 1t must be 50, speak learnedly of lowered resistance" or keeping up good resistance" and merely because they have 50 long juggled this inebulous notion they are irritated and offended when anybody asks "What do you mean resistance?" Of course they don't know what they mean-that's what annoys them.
 One who implies or infers that everyday exposure to sudden changes, cold, draft, wet feet or dampness keeps the resistance" constantly lowered" certainly does not mean immunity. There Is neither scientific experimental nor convincing clinical evidence to sup- port the conception that immunity is subject to such hectic variations. The significance of the "resistance' idea is simply this: I am Medical Tradition. This is my story and I must stick to 1t.
 Recent deaths of movie actresses and others from tuberculosis which supervened upon Q period of "diet- ing" in the endeavor to reduce to sub standard weight, serve as 6 sad example of the relation between nutrition and immunity. Not that adiposity or superfluous flesh pro. tects against tuberculosis, for in- deed we find that recovery from tti- berculosis IS not favored by accum.

There is one exercise that is of Greatest importance in reducing weight. It involves turning the head slowly from left to right and back again, in the gesture that means mo-" when food is passed.
 All sorts of Investigations have been made on this subject of re- fiucing. And all indicate that the discipline required to maintain rec duction in weight is too severe for most people who weigh too much.
 Frequently, it is found that peo- ple who are overweight are de- scended from parents who are in- clined to be overweight. Children who are overweight, in many in- stances, merely initiate the eating habits of their parents, who are overweight and eat too much.
 The vast majority of people do not have enough will power, disci. pline, intelligence, or whatever 1t as that we choose to call the mem tal stamina necessary to maintain reduction in weight by avoiding eating too much food.
 Many of the diet fads that have been developed to enable reduction are dangerous. The earliest reduce ton diets failed to take into account the vitamins and mineral salts. They involved only count of cal- orieS. A safe reduction diet will Sup- ply not only calories up to the point of safety, but also all elements necessary to healthy functioning of the body.
 Many popular reducing diets, such as the Hollywood l8-day diet, the milk menus, and similar per- formances, offer from 500 to 800 caiories day, instead of HOO or 1900, which may, in most instances, be the absolute minimum compati- Ole with health.
 Another dietary system recon. mends eating of large quantities of meat and entirely eliminates vegetables. That kind of diet is dangerous because 1t tends to pro- duction of acidosis to perilous dee gree.
 The Hollywood 18-day diet em- phasiZes oranges, grapefruit, Melba toast, and raw vegetables, but it provides only 800 or TOO calories c day, is deficient in all the necessary proteins, carbohydrates, fats and minerals, and is certainly dangerous for health.
 The banana and skimmed milk dieH was briefly popular. It provid. ed Sour to six bananas and three to four grams of skinned milk each day, with enough vegetable roughage Co prevent constipation.
 poHowNd strictly, this diet pro- vlded from TOO to 1000 caiorles c day. It was supposed to continue f0F 10 days and to produce . re-

 while it is necessary to call chil: drens attention to mistakes ana focus their attention on the ini- portance Of small matters, big ones, too. it is futile to get worked up and exasperated over their many slips.

water. Finish with cream. If you haven't cream, use warm olive oil.
 Olive oil, by the way, is good for rough feet, dry skin anV chapped hands as well as the scalp. The girl who washes and cares for her own hair ought to massage warm olive oil into her scalp the night before she shampoos. During winter months everyone who doesn't have Q massage cream should rub olive oil on heels and knees ct least once Q week. Occasionally it's Q splendid idea to smear 1t on your hands first before you 60 to bed and to wear clean cotton gloves while you sleep.

ulation Of any excess weight. But persons who follow restricted dietary regimens which do not provide for certain essentials of nutrition and vitality, achieve weight reduction only ct the cost of health. Tn the instances mentioned, 1t seems prob- able that the young women suffered grave lowering of vitality and speci- flc failure to maintain. immunity against the latent Tuberculosis which nearly oil adults harbor.
 Scientific evidence is accumulat- ing to warrant the teaching that an adequate vitamin ration is indiss pensable for the maintenance of immunity against tuberculosis and immunity against infection in gen. eral or ct least some other iiffec- tons. Just which vitamin is most essential, or whether several vita. nlins each contribute an influence, we are not yet prepared to say. But we do know that any reduction regi. men which fails to provide an op. tinal vitamin ration is Q dangerous one in any circumstance.

 Humidity
 We have water pan in furnace. Our walls are wet when we cook. When we boil our windows are steamed nearly oil winter. Neigh Dor says 1t is the water pan. None in their furnace. Husband says without water pan furniture will come apart |. (C. R.)
 Answer Certainly the gallon or two of water evaporated daily from the ordinary furnace water pan can have little effect on humidity. The condemnation of moisture on Kitchen walls and windows indicates humid ity there, but how about other rooms? Some "steaming" of win- dows when the outdoor temperature is below 70 indicates normal humid. fly. If the windows do not steam up some, the air indoors is probably excessively dried out.

CHEVROLET SALES SET
NEW ALL-TIME HIGH

Sweeping aside all former sales
records for any one month in its
history, Chevrolet Motor Company
in March reached a new all-time
high when its 10000 dealers thru
out the United States sold total
of l26,ll9 new automobiles fig
ure unparalleled for any month by
thtis manufacturer.
Duplicating this feat, although
on a smaller scale, the Portland
zone of Chevrolet, comprising the
State of Oregon, the river counties
of Washington and the Southern
section of Idaho, likewise broke all
sales records for any one month by
selling more than 2,100 new Chev-
rolets in March.
In this city A. A. Anderson set
a new sales mark during March
when residents of this section pur-
chased from him a record num-
Der of new Chevrolets. Thus nation
ally, locally and from zone stand
point, Chevrolet broke all sales rec
ords for any one month during
March.
