If Fuss Over Complexes Fusses You |. OBEY THAT IMPULSE. AND FUSS OVER BABY

presses her natural craving to make the most of him. Too bad Unless she is an er-emotional sort, what is wrong with the world-old tie between mother and child? Why should she hide her feelings? Why should she make it a point to employ, if she fears her influence, an impersonal nurse to take her place?
 True, baby's daily routine should be spared overemotional fussing, but in spite of young Anthony Adverse, who did rigmt well under the tutel- age of nuns, plus his bronze friend Of the fountain, it seems to me that love of mother for child, and love Of baby for mother, arn't put there for nothing.
 If we could analyze that tie, and reduce it to formula, per- haps I could give you reasons, but has it ever answered to analysis? It is there. It is rich. It gives a world of happiness. Why deny its Towering?
 Don't Repress Love
 My advice is, "Go ahead and love your baby" Be as close to him as you like. He needs you and you need him. Don't spill over and allow love to crowd out even, cool judgment, that's all. Love should not be too blind or too possessive, so control your pity and your yearnings as much as you can. You may be just a little selfish in coddling him, for in so doing, naturally, you are sparing yourself.
 Be natural. Don't worry too much or be afraid to relax. I be- lieve the mechanical mother, SO in vogue for a while, worked more harm than good.
 Anyway, baby is going to attach himself to someone in whom he finds sympathy and affection. He will love his nurse or, if denied this outlet, will likely resort to some thing or someone else.
 We are not trying to raise a Spartan race, with steel wires for nerves, but human beings, with the makings of all good things. With someone to please, someone to appreciate and someone to love, and to love them, our babies do better.

HollyWood-All over the lot: Near ly all the principals in -Four Men and Prayer" are British, and old c. Aubrey Smith has been devot- ing most of his time to organizing cricket teams and talking of spring matches.
 John Ford, who is trying to direct a movie and who doesn't care two whoops about the Eng fish colony's cricket league, got pretty annoyed with the chatter of Richard Green, George Sanders, David Niven, Reginald Denny, Claude King and Smith about eric ket-tenders and bowlers and "cen- turies" and such. But he met the emergency in sporting fashion.
 From the wardrobe department, Ford borrowed a complete cricket outfit-Oxford blazer cap, knee pads and bat. Thus rigged out, and swigning the bat, he stood on the set and said, Well Jets get this game out of our systems, and over with, and settle down to 8 little work"
 There were loud cries of "Bravo!" and no more talk of cricket.
 
 Judicial Concession
 They're telling the story of a kindly judge here who interrupted court routine as veteran screen actress was about to be sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, etc. Just minute" said the judge. Then to the actress:
 How old are you?"
 "Why-ah-I'm 24," she replied.
 Counsel will remember that the witness has given her age," warned the court. Go ahead and swear the witness" Mixing Emotions
 Busiest actress in the colony right now is Ann Sheridan, who's making two pictures at once. You find her on the Cowboy From Brooklyn" set, encouraging Johnny Davis and Tony Romona with their trumpet and guitar playing, and ten minutes later you look in on Little Lady Luck" and find her in different cos- tune and the arms of John Litel Miss Sheridan rather enjoys all l this activity, but she's still worried about getting her lines mixed, or hey emotions confused.
 Five-year Janet Chapman seems sure bet to steal the Little Lady Luck" flicker from the adult players, but becoming an actress has plunged her into a terrific struggle with her principles. For instance, they had a hard time persuading her to say, in one scene, "Oh, but 1 it never rains in California;"

so THE BABY IS BOWLEGGED?

so THE BABY IS BOWLEGGED?
 All babies are born bowlegged. The newborn baby, like a monkey the sad part of it is that we don't stay like monkeys-turns the feet in so that the soles are almost in contact. This makes the legs look somewhat bowed. But this is nor- nal. It is the position in which the child has been curled up sleeping for many months befort birth. A well-developed baby shows more or less apparent lowing of the legs up to the age of six or eight weeks or until the baby accumulates enough fat to fill out the apparent hollow.
 There need be no anxiety about a moderate lowing of the legs in the first six months, especially if the baby gets an adequate daily ration of sunshine vitamin D.
 Unless there is room for mothers fist between the knees when the baby's ankles are held together and the legs are drawn out as straight as they will go, there is no need for any mechanical or physical or surgical treatment for bowlegs, al ways provided the baby receives sufficient sunshine vitamin D.
 The cause of boWlegs in almost every instance is rickets. The cause or rickets is inadequate vitamin D..
 According to recent studies the majority of infants in this country, in all economic classes, show some signs of rickets, unless the mothers diet is supplemented with vitamin D throughout pregnancy and the infant receives a vitamin D ration throughout the first year or two of life. In the first year the rickets may not present all the evidences of the classical disease but X-ray ex- animation shows deficient calcifica- tion fthe bones. In fact X-ray ex- animation of the bones gives the most positive and accurate diagnos- tic evidence of rickets, in any case.
 If baby tries to stand or to walk earlier than babies usually do, this is never a cause of lowing of the 1 legs; on the contrary this, as well as any other exercise, tends to pre- vent lowing or to straighten bowed legs. But it is not advisable to urge a baby to stand or walk before the baby is ready to make the attempt of his or her own volition; and such contrivances as "baby walkers should never be used.
 l It is doubtful whether message or rubbing or constant attempts tc bend the bowed legs straight are o1 any value. But experience has amply proved that all voluntary

That is to take herself out of the picture, as far out as possible. She puts herself in an awkward and humiliating spot when she hangs around and competes for mans attention. And as long as it is centered on someone else, she hasn't a chance.
 If she retires in time she stands good chance of getting him back. For woman's apparent willingness to let a man go is al- ways a blow to his ego. And us ually enough of one to arouse his waning interest.
 If she doesn't ever get him she has lost only the man. But she has

 The six Dead End" boys are ap- peairng in Crime School" with Humphrey Bogart, and they're tougher than ever, off screen and on. Leo Gorsey, who played "Spit," and Gabriel Dell, the "TB" of Dead End" have passed their eighteenth birthdays and so don't have to go to OCllOOl oU UIlC oUlulOs NS1loCAoC11Oly they've been ribbing the other four unmercifully.
 The ribbing stopped when Cor sey and Dell got a glimpse of the school teacher. She's young, at tractiye, and her name is Beth Clopton. Also she stands only fraction over five feet and weighs about 100 pounds.
 But Miss Clopton isn't tolerating any monkey-business from the near incorrigibles. Has more control over them than anybody else on the lot.

 He Can't Retire
 Frank Jenks, old-time vaudevillian playing in Goodbye, Broadway" at Universal, has decided that retire ment from show-business is impos- sible for him. He tried to get out of it by opening a restaurant, but his patrons learned his identity and made SC many demands for enter tainment that he soon was working harder than ever.
 So now he's selling the restaurant and expects to accept an occasional screen role. Life will be much sim pier that way. Has Buck Fever

1E, THE WOMEN
Women Seldom Graceful In Accepting Defeat

saved her self-respect and the re- spect of everyone watching the comedy.
 Another time when a woman should back out of an association as gracefully as possible is when a man tells her that he is in love with someone else.
 Yet girl after girl hangs on. Usually she gives herself a noble reason for not getting out of the way. She kids herself into believing that the man doesn't know his own mind-or that she must save him from that awful woman"
 Even in a momentary failure, the best thing woman can do is retreat. Men lose nothing by competing openingly for woman's affections-but the practice only works one way.
 A woman who keeps her charm for men and her good opinion of herself knows this. And she al- ways manages to go out while the getting is graceful.

WOOD-TINTED POLISH

One of the newest products to keep fine furniture in fine condi- tion is wax polish impregnated with wood colors such as maple, mahogany and walnut. Besides giving a soft luStre and protec- tion to the furniture, the pig ments in the wax work into any slight scratches or blemishes on the surface leaving a shining un- marred finish. It dries rapidly and works in easily.

exercise is beneficial in correcting bowlegs; especially walking, running, creeping, pushing pushmobile, velo- cipede, tricycle. or bicycle.
 Sometimes suitable splints or braces, applied by the physician and worn under his constant supervision, will help in strengthening bowleg in a child not over five years of age. BoWleg in a person over six years of age can be strengthened only by surgery. No appliance or gadget can have any influence on boWleg after the age of six years.
 Bowleggedness is with rare ex- captions (paralysis, malformation) practically always due to vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is both pre- ventative and cure. It doesn't mat ter what form of vitamin D, so long as the baby or young child gets plenty of it. No one knows as yet precisely how much every baby requires-I think 5000 units daily is a fair optimal ration.

 The foundation garment under heath the new suit molds your fig ure like a glove. Any corset, ex- pensive or otherwise, should be fit- ted by an expert. And everyone, re- gardless of her size, looks trimmer in girdle than without one. Even tiny girls need a light foundation to make lines of the boody smooth and Svelte.
 Your nail polish harmonizes per- fectly with the outstanding color in your costume. Don't wear orange rust polish with red blouse or scarlet lacquer with bright pink one.
 Your hat is truly becoming-not just silly creation which bears no relation to face, hair or suit.
 The shoes you wear are one hundred per cent comfortable. No sensible woman squeezes her feet into shoes that are half a size too short or too narrow.
 Face powder matches exactly or is one shade lighter than your skin, and rouge is the tone your cheeks become after exercise or when you blush. Strive to enhance your na- tural beauty.
 Every night between now and then you brush your hair for five minutes.
 You have your dentist clean and polish your teeth. A prophy- laxis once every five or six months will help to keep your teeth and gums healthy as well as beau- tiful.
 You use your imagination when choosing accessories. It isn't smart to have shoes, hat, bag, gloves and scarf match. Get dark, practical shoes and bag if you must, but in- troduce gay color into the ensem- ble via gloves, scarf or hat.
