.BEAUTx-
 GlorUying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

Almost every famous woman has . pet beauty routine which she does at the end of busy day to refresh skin and relax tired nerves. These trusty pick-me-ups, which range from unique facials to simple baths are what enable moderns to go on with the show, face reporters and photographers or hostesses or guests after a trying day of rehearsals, broadcasts or hectic social engage ments.
 Oracle Allen, who doubles in a stellar career before the micro phone and on the movie lot, and in addition, is a busy mother and housewife, has body massage with warm olive oil at the end of the day. This is followed by a soothing bath in a tub Of warm water into which has been poured half a pint of vinegar. Gracie rubs her body with coarse towel until skin is red and tingling, and applies q homemade body lotion. The lotion consists of one pint of rubbing al- cohol, one ounce of violet ammonia, one-half ounce camphor and one half dram of oil of verbena.
 Gertrude NieSen, exotic star of motion pictures, depends largely up- on eau de cologne to freshen up body and spirits. Between scenes while changing costumes, and at night after a difficult day, Miss Nie- sen lavishly sprinkles cologne on neck, shoulders, arms and soles Of feet. This restorative, says the act ress, is more effective when ice cold and she suggests keeping bottle or siphon in the ice box instead of on . dressing table.
 To bring a quick ruddy glow to her skin, Miss Niesen pats face and throat with a fairly strong astrin- gent, then goes over them with hollow glass tube which has a rub her bulb at the end. The open end of the bulb creates a vacuum and the resulting suction stimulates cir culation, causing skin to jingle and glow.
 Frances Langford, petite little newcomer to the screen, believes that fatigue begins with the feet therefore gives hers vigorous first aids when she must go out to dinner after an exhausting day on the movie lot. The treatment begins with a hot foot bath, foam- ing with essence of pine bath oil. Then Frances messages feet and ankles with warm vasaline. If there are callouses, she rubs them lightly with g piece of pumice stone. A dusting with foot pow der is the final step.
 Kate Smith is shining proof that large woman can look as fresh, clean, neat and trim as her alimmer sisters. As 8 matter Of faet, immaculate grooming is even more important to mature figure than to a very young size If.
 Miss Smith relies largely upon

 In the United States, measles is most common during February and March. It affects all kinds of peo- pie, but is slightly more prevalent among girls than boys, and among white than colored children. More city than country people die of measles, and more people in the north than in the south.
 More than one-half of all cases of measles affect children younger than 5 years of age, and 97 per cent of cases affect children under 15. If an older person catches measles, it is no sign that he is childish in his ways or habits, but 1t is nevertheless an unusual dis ease among older people.
 Not only do most cases of meas les affect young children, but most deaths from the disease claim very young children. Over 90 per cent of deaths involve children under 5, and the highest death rate occurs among children in the first and second years of life. The safest time to have measles is between 5 and 15 years of age.
 Measles, like other infectious dis eases, is not what it used to be. The death rate from diphtheria drop ped from 21 per 100000 in 1910 to around six, in. 1880. Similarly, the death rate from measles dropped from 12 per 100000 in 1910 to ? 1-2, in 1880. About 10000 deaths from measles still occur each year In the United States.
 Measles is one of the oldest dis eases known to modern medicine It was described in writings of doc tors who lived in the seventh and ninth centuries, but 1t was not iri- til the 17th century that measles was cleverly distinguished from scarlet fever. Because of the red ness of the eruption and the for- merly indefinite character of med ical science. measles was not defi- nitely distinguished from smallpox until the 18th century.

Almost All Victims Of Measles Are
 Children Under IS Years Of Age

It is interesting to know that two of the greatest names in medicine are associated with identifying measles. Thomas Sydenham. who was the greatest among the earliest English physicians, distinguished measles from scarlet fever, and William Whitening, British phy- sician who introduced the use Of digitalis in heart disease, disting- uished measles clearly from small pox.
 For a long time it generally was thought that every child had to have measles. Mothers even used to expose their children to the dis ease with the idea that they might as well have 1t and get it over with Today we know that measles IS transmitted from one person to aa- other, and that, with suitable pre- cautions, it is possible to avoid the disease.
 Epidemics of measles recur at in- tervals of two or three years m rather heavily settled cities. In country areas. the time between epidemics is likely to be much long or ...

WHAT MAKES A NEUROTIC
 TEMPERAMENT?

Parents, grandparents, doting ,aiden aunts, nurses, sometimes teachers too often cultivate the neu- rotic disposition in a child who, with a fair break, would be nor nal, sane person. This is more likely to happen in family in com fortable circumstances than in a very poor family. After all children of the poor-poor in this worlds goods, not in character and self respect-have as good or perhaps a better outlook and opportunity in life than have children of the we'll to-do, especially when the family has the good fortune or good sense to live in the country or a country village as far as possible from the city life. Alas, there are no such villages left to raise children in the automobile has wiped out that salubrious isolation. When l was a boy in Canandiagua the city of Rochester was ten years away, and Buffalo was eighteen years away. Now these bright night spots are 40 minutes and two hours away.
 The child training to become an introvert or neurotic is taken in hand early by misguided elders whose kind intention is to protect the child as much as possible from the sharp edges and hard knocks they experienced when they were young. In their mistaken zeal to give the child this advantage they set up regular practice or habit of pampering and coddling the youngster, and this in itself grows on them, besides, if the child it not actually an imbecile he inevitably learns to presume upo nthe indul- gence of his guardians and so in his formative years develops the selfish, wilful, unreasoning and probably untruthful or dishonest attitude-the easiest way to get by.
 In the beginning, parents or guardians generally plead as their excuse for delinquency in the train ing of the youngster the fact that poor little one suffered a severe at at the age of three or seven the tack of some illness or other which of course left him forever mot very strong" or delicate" Invari- ably, where the elders harbor this obsession, the child in his or her early teens shows nervous dis positio nor temperament"-in short you have a full-fedged neurotic, of Class B.
 Class A neurotics really have something the matter with one or another organ or function, though usually not the brain. spinal cord or nerves. Class B neurotics use

On a recent sunny day I went walking. And, going to St. Ives, as it were, I met seven, nay seventeen young wives pushing their first-born in prans of every kind and vas riety. These must have been "hrsta borns" because their mothers thenlS selves looked the veriest children.
 Proudly this parade Haunted it's pink prizes. And gazed upon each cherubic rnorsel with delight in my heart. e, , -. 5-s -.,
 But beyond these thin-leggeds times wan little mothers and thes0 immaculate babies under immaculate coverlets, beautifully bonneted and cushioned, I saw more deeply. A days work lay there in prepara- ton for the short junket to the parl. and back, or to the butcher shop and home again. Work and pride, mad occasionally, discourage" ment. - ------.'-'-'-" -'-- --'''-
 One of the most difficult things in the world is to keep baby and his fixings clean. So, my friends, do not pass these finished products lightly. Don't think, for second, if you think at all, that like the girls in the movies, they come all ready and caparisoned that way.
 A Pat on the Back
 Nov, am about to address theso brave little executives themselves these young mothers, I mean.
 I want you to know that many of us know exactly what fine job you are doing, and are acquainted with the details of keeping a baby attractive and healthy and clean.
 You were up at daylight. almost. The washing machine, didies tnsides was rotating while you were doing the breakfast dishes, and drying while you made the bed. Maybe 8 cover had to be dipped" in color. to bring back its pastel beauty. Bonnet strings had to be changed and mittens and booties renovated. Spots on babys coat had to bo sponged of. Dress and slip fresh. Bottles boiled and formula made for the day. s'@. M Baby had to be. .bathed and fed at exactly the right time before be. ing jiggled over pavements and curbstones. He must be wheeled in the right direction so the wind doesn't endanger him. In coldish weather, he must be fortified with hot-water bottle tucked near his feat or torso.
 still More to Be Done Besides all this, you had to clean up the house, for Jim likes things nice when he comes home. And then you have to look right your self. The wave can't be too far gone, and the glove fingers must not show holes. You want little Tommy Fuckers mama to do him justice.
 Now you go to get the food for supper, SO as to have 8 nice meal for your Jim. You are pretty tired already, because Baby had collie in the night.
 If 1t were just today it wouldn't be so hard: but it must be done 1 again tomorrow and tomorrow. | Your thanks is, "Oh, what love- ly baby" Because, although you know Tommy is the loyeliest baby of all, you also know that the pretty casi i-.gs of higllness have much to (, with it, the sweet smell, the per- lection of grooming and laundering and what not. Congratulations little. mother. Your weary work is not, lost on | 1Is We annreciate VOL.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Banana

Many mothers who have learned by experience of the great value of ripe banana in the diet of infants three or fourth months old or older, especially puny, sickly infants who do not digest or assimilate the ordi- nary modified milk and who fail to gain in weight and grow as well as a healthy baby should. will be inter- ested in the observation made by Dr. c. L. Joslin, that banana diet is highly efflcacious in the treatment of diarrheal conditions in infants and young children. Either well ripened fresh banana, or banana powder. The powder may be given in water at first, but after a day or two in the proper modified milk mixture. The powder seems to be more effective for the younger in- fants; the fresh ripe raw banana for older infants and young children.

VACATION OVER
AS PRESIDENT
ENTRAINS
BY GEORGE DURNo

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, March
rs GN.SO-A tanned President
Roosevelt took = final plunge in
the tepid Warm Springs pool today
and packed his bags for Washing
ton where, tomorrow, he must
plunge into the "sit-down" whirl-
pool.
Terminating a twoweeks vaca-
ton, Mr.. RooSevelt'S special train
was to leave here in mid-afternoon.
Congressional leaders will as
semble at the White House tomor-
row afternoon to debate whether
the Federal Government should
take any action to terminate the
current epidemic of sit-down
strikes.
UndercOver Action
Easing of the tension in De
troit, where John L. Lewis per
sonally took charge of ordering
5000 squatting workers from
eight ChrySler plants, led OBJ
servers here to believe that Ad-
ministration pressure would be ap-
piled under cover rather than by
direct edict.
A curious cross-ruff had de-
veloped between Warm Springs
and Washir ton concerning Mr..
Roosevelt'S engagements Satur-
day.
From Washington came a state
ment by Senate Majority Leader
Robinson that he and other con.
gressional wheel-horses were as
sembling at the White House to-
morrow afternoon to discuss the
Sit-down strike situation with the
President.
President Silent
Mr.. Roosevelt, still declining to
discuss publicly the merits of
labor's newest method of en-
forcing its demands on industry,
denied he had summoned such a
conference. He added, however.
that he would be willing to see
the congressional leaders If they
desired.
