Clarifying

Suntan preparations are the most
widely discussed cosmetics of the
moment. This is the time to buy a
cream or lotion which will prevent
sunburn yet allow for a creamy
brown coat OF tan.
You can, of course, get a SUM-
tan cream which is non-greasy, and
use it as a powder base as well as a
sunburn preventive. One especially
efficacious cream of this type comes
In convenient tube and Is rose
beige instead of pure white or bright
pink. It blends with the tone OF
the average Skin-in fact 1t Is quite
flattering. Smooth on a thick coat,
or a thin one, depending on how
sensitive your skin Is or how much
tan you want.
The same cosmetic manufacturer
makes suntan oil, particularly rec
commended for dry skins, and a sun
tan lotion which women with oily
skins will like. Both prevent burns
and encourage tan.
Naturally, regardless Of the kind
of sunburn preventice you have, or
how carefully you apply 1t, you
ought to plan to acquire a coat OF
tan ever so gradually. To sit in the
bright sun for three or four hours
the first weekend you go to the
beach is not only bad for hair and
complexion but actually dangerous.
Every year, there are reports about
people who went to the beach all
day Saturday, then spent the rest
of the weekend in hospital.
I Use suntan preparation law
ishly (if you do not have one,
smooth on plain white vinegar or
olive oil, and sit in the sun only
twenty minutes the first day, half
an hour the second, forty minutes
the third, and so on for week or
so until you are slightly brown-not
red. Begin this way and you will
have no trouble at all.
Even after your skin has be-
come dark brown, do not discard
your beach hat. A little sunshine is
good for all types of hair, but over
exposure is not.

Your Dreams Reveal Your
Secret Wishes

Why do strangers so often play
important roles in dreams?
Why does Beth, who cares for
Paul, dream she's married to
Charles-a man she seldom sees?
Is Charles the one for her?
No, a psychologist would say.
Beth's unconscious mind is dram
atizing her secret fear Of Paul's sell
fishness. She has heard that
Charles is an intensely selfish per-
son: in her dream he appears as a
symbol of the trait she breads IN
Paul.
If Beth understood the real mean
ing of her dream, she'd face her
fear = decide If it's important
enough to affect her life.
To read your dreams isn't diff
cult. The unconscious uses SYM
bols common to all. To dream OF
appearing in public half-dressed
means you're self-conscious. To
dream of snakes hints your affec-
tions are upset.

And of course, summer means
lots of ice tea, too. Make it strong
and fresh and pour it hot over ice
cubes for best results. Don't forget
the silver spoon to prevent crack
ing. If you plan to use a lot Of
iced tea for a party, make it a
little way in advance, pour into
containers, seal absolutely air-tight
and keep in refrigerator until ready
to use. Less ice will be needed in
the glasses with this method.
The cloudiness of some iced tea
may annoy the fancier drinkers.
There are blends on the market
made especially for iced tea and
treated so as not to cloud. Or else
to prevent the harmless slight cloud
mess, try this cold water method
recommended by tea experts. Use 2
teaspoons tea for each glass of wa
ter. Allow the cold water to remain
In tea leaves In a glass, china or
pottery container for from IL to
10 hours. Strain liquid from leaves
before serving.
The glass, china or pottery con-
tainer advice Is generally the best
rule to follow for all tea or cof-
fee making.

New York.-The cool cottons and
crisp linens for town and country
have been tailored and styled as
perfectly as your suits and silks.
Smart shops are featuring navy and
black, wrinkle-proof linens, with
spic and span white touches, for
city streets, and lovely printed cot
tons for active and spectator sports
women and suburbanites.
Proof that important designers
take washables seriously is the fact
that many of them, having complet-
ed their summer collections of silks
and sheers, now have cotton and
linen numbers in profusion. Janet
Hollander, slender, attractive de-
signer who has long been famous
for her silk and sheer garden prints,
has a splendid line of cottons in
similar prints.
The Janet Hollander cottons
have the exquisite details, smoothly
nodded bodices and subtly f1ared
skirts that have made her garden
prints so popular. One attractive
shirtwaist model has a pleated
bosom raised waistline and slim skirt
with pleats at the front. Another
(bright garden flowers on a white
background) has a tucked organdy
yoke, finished with an edging OF
narrow lace.
Buy your cottons as carefully as
you do other items in a wardrobe,
and, simply because they are fairly
inexpensive, don't refuse to order
and pay for necessary alterations.
There's entirely too much OF this
business of walking right out IN
it" going on. Few and far between
are figures which are perfect size
this or that.
The average dress the average
woman buys needs to be taken IN
here, let out there, shortened or
lengthened-in other words, made to
fit and f1atter. 1t is much smarter
to have two dresses that look as
though they were made for you than
half a dozen, not one Of which is
quite right. Alteration charges are
something to be extremely broad
minded about.
Country cottons give one a chance
to indulge in cool looking, frivolous
accessories such as washable white
gloves with perky organdy cuf1s,
crownless hats, sandals with open
toes and heels. With those for city
streets, however, neat pumps and
regular hats are best. Incidentally,
white shoes and melting asphalt DO
not go together. Remember that
when summer comes!
Remember, too, that if you look
cook you will feel fairly cool. Keep
your hair neat, collars and cuffs I'M
maculately clean, clothes pressed.
And if you are going in for white
gloves, do wear a fresh pair every
day. Then, too, no matter how many
smart linens and cottons you nave
it's a nice idea to have one navy
or black sheer to fall back on when
everything else is at the Laundry OF
cleaners.

DEGENERATION is DETERIORATION

It took many years of education
to make reporters stop using the
word "aphasia" (Which means loss
of speech) when they meant anne
STA, which means loss of memory.
1t will take years to make them stop
using the word moron" (Which
means stupid, feeble minded) when
they mean depraved, vicious. i'm
moral or criminal. The great ma
jority of morons are good citizens
and in proportion with the general
population they commit no more
offenses against morals and law
than do people of average or better
than-average intelligence.
Degeneration is deterioration,
sinking from a higher to a lower
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-21

level, pathological change in cells
or tissues in consequences of which
the normal function is impaired or
lost. Physiologically or medically
the change occurring in cells and
tissues of the body Of the individual
in the early or incipient stage OF
arteriosclerosis is degeneration.
If this retrogressive pathological
change is recognized before too
much damage has been done, 1t Is
possible not only to arrest the proc
ess, but even to reverse 1t and bring
about regeneration and rejuvena-
ton. A man is as old as his arties;
a womn as old as she looks without
bake-up.
Mortality statistics for several
decades have seemed to indicate
that, while the infectious diseases
have been steadily decreasing In
prevalence and the toll of lives
taken by such diseases and their Sc
quelS has gradually declined, the de-
generative diseases, notably cardi-
vascular degenerations (arteroscler-
osis, heart disease, apoplexy, angina
pectoris, Bright's disease) have be-
come rather more prevalent and
have disabled and destroyed a larger
proportion of the population. This
apparent increase In the tendency to
degenerate may be partly due to
more accurate diagnosis today, but
not altogether. 1t signifies one i'm
portant thing quite clearly: that is,
public health provisions and SAM
tary regulations take care of the
infectious diseases, but the degen-
erative diseases can be prevented
only through personal hygiene.
Within reasonable limitations 1t Is
up to every one to decide for him
self whether he shall spend his
youth in wrong living or keep 1T to
tighten the sunset of his years.
Although the older medical authors
ascribed early onset Of cardiovascu-
lar degeneration to the inheritance
of bad material for the tubing (the
arteries) they, nevertheless, added
that more commonly the premature
aging results from the bad use or
good vessels. Certainly you can't
blame grandfather for the alcohol,
tobacco, over-eating, syphilis, lead,
emotion, and the strain and stress OF
your unnatural mode OF life.
From the purely physical (not
merely moraD point of view, 1t Is
sound medicine to say that the state
of a mans arteries is an index OF
his personal hygiene. Cardiovascu-
lar degeneration Is largely ones own
making. To a majority of men death
comes through this portal = to 20
per cent of all who die after forty.
Don't begin dying yet awhile.
