RAISING A FAMILY
Not Even Poverty Need Spoil
 Jollity Of Christmas Day
By Olive Roberts Barton

connive out of thin air. It means fun and laughter and anything from a new fur coat to a pair of red mittens.' Give me, and I mean it, the red mittens.
 Dollies made of French bisque of dollies made of old stockings and cotton. Playhouses that cost fifty dollars or playhouses made of car tons painted and then furnished with spool furniture. Toys from the big store or toys from the f1ve-and- ten.
 Children want Christmas - its fun and gaiety. They are not critics. And they have as good sense as we have. All they ask is to have Christmas different" day from all the rest. Something to look forward to and something to look back upon. No gloom ing or warnings or anything to dampen their natural longing for the exceptional.

 To the ramparts, ladies! Those twin roughers-up of lovely looks icy winter winds and over-full holi- day tables-loom on your horizon. Here's ammunition to help you to repulse them:
 Cleanse face and throat with cream in the morning and several times a day. The thin, invisible film of cream that is bound to re- main unless you apply skin tonic will prevent chapping and, in ad- dition, serve as an excellent pow der base for one whose complexion is dry.
 Pat on special body lotion after your daily bath.
 Soak your hands and wrists as well as fingers in warm olive oil during your weekly manicure, and use hand lotion many, many times a day-always after washing your hands, of course.
 Cream your legs after removing superfluous ahir and leave the cream on for half an hour. Apply skin tonic after removing the cream, then pat on 8 bit of body or hand lotion before going out doors.
 Learn to eat, slowly, so you can make one portion of each item on the holiday menu last while other guests are having two.
 Always eat your vegetables, salad and meat before taking bread or rolls and butter. After ward, you may not want the bread at all
 Get some kind of calorie chart, so you'll really know the caloric content of the dishes you are eat- ing.
 Do a few limbering and stretch ing exercises fifteen times each and every single day. (No woman can go through an entire winter without taking exercise of any kind and hope to have her figure remain as supple and youthful as she'd like to have it.)
 Do special reducing exercises in addition to the limbering and stretching routines if you are over- weight or appear to be gaining a few ounces week.

In Hollywood

1 The technician never has heard of request that couldn't be ac-9 complished with some sort of movie magic. The toughest part, he says, is not merely to make something happen, but to make it look real. Proper illusion is the problem of working out just the right scale, and that's where his architectural training comes to the rescue.
 In most cases, Hollywood does not employ miniatures for purposes of economy. For example, it's cheaper to buy 8 couple of automobiles and. hire stunt men to crash them than it is to build models capable of pro- viding an equal thrill.
 REAL PLANES
 COST LESS
 The same thing was discovered with airplanes at 20th-Fox during the current filming of Tail Spin" There were some sequences for which the production department casually ordered the building of a lot of large-scale replicas of ships which would, have cost fortune if they had been made with enough fidelity to look like real planes. A technical adviser pointed out that actual, flying airplanes could be rented and bought for much less money. Miniatures usually are used when scenes can be obatined in no other way.
 Executives and script writers have got SO accustomed to having their wishes materialized by technicians that they're beginning to feel down. right omniponent. The other day company on location near the beach was halted in its work when pea soup for began drifting in from the ocean. A studio supervisor who fancies himself as an efficiency ex- pert drove up and was enraged when he found everybody idle. Get some wind machines" he ordered, and blow this fog away from here!" This was the same enemy of ex- i travagance who got to proving the sound stages one evening and snapped of an electric light he found burning in large aquarium on set. The next morning $500 worth of troipcal fish were floating belly-up.

 cant of the csccus, the adventure story that keeps the light on half the night. We all need something to take the hum out of hundrum. This is Christmas. Let us not de- fine it too carefully. What mtoxi- cation can be defined?
 So don't spoil it for the chill dren, I beg. Don't say to the little folk, ''There won't be any Christ mas for us this year. Papa is try ing to raise money for his inven- tion." And forget "We need clothes and food, so we can't have a lot of folly for nothing" This, I beg most earnestly. Because I have had this experience in my own child hood. My father did not like Christ mas. We always had good one, of course for our mother was ingenious and bad years seemed some way to compare very well with the good ones. The difference was that sometimes our hearts were broken by the grave warning that preceded the great day.
 Christmas is more than expen- sive gifts. It is gaiety and bright ness. It can be as simple as you like and still be Christmas. It means color, though the color be found in tissue-paper ornaments.

EVERYDAY REFINED DIET REQUIRES SUPPEEMENTING


 Preceding articles have explained why it is essential that our modern diet, consisting largely of refined foods, must be supplemented with adequate daily rations of vitamin B complex in order to maintain any thing like optimal health.
 In recent years a so-called smooth diet" has gained wide pop ularity in cases of peptic (gastric or duodenaD ulcer, intestinal trouble, deranged colon or, as many victims mistakenly call it, mucous colitiS- which term is wrong because, first, mucus is not cause of the trouble, and, second, there is generally no in- f1ammation of the colon present.
 To regard colon derangement, due to nutritional deficiency, as mucous colitis" is perhaps not so serious a mistake, for the patients welfare, as is the popular practice of adopting a smooth diet and, because the invalid or actual invalid exper- fences less difficulty while following the diet, adhering to it for long per- iods. This ill-advised or unadvised practice is accountable for progress sive decline in health and vitality in many such cases.
 The grave fault with the smooth diet, as a steady diet, is precisely the fault with the everyday refined diet, namely, that it fails to supply the essential vitamins. If the everyday refined diet on which large pro- portion of the population subsists, is poor in vitamins, how much worse in that respect is the diet restricted to certain smooth" foods, food from which various natural components have been carefully removed.
 Several ounces of pure wheat germ, or few ounces of dried brewers yeast, or one or two ounces of rice polishings, or a combination of all three, if consumed everyday, would fairly supplement the every day refined diet in the essential vit- amin B complex. These are the rich est known natural sources of vita min B-1, B-2 or G, and the various other entities or factors of vitamin B complex.

 We would also like to have our face creaming put in a class with mems shaving. They are both necessities of modern life-but men can shave openly while women have to sneak their face creaming, or listen to a mans What do you put that stuff on your face for any, way?"
 We really can tune in a radio pro- gram without help or advice. And sometimes we would like a chance to prove it.
 We wish that when man says in tone of superiority, "A woman can't bear to hear another woman praised" he would remember how annoyed he got the night before when his date voiced her approval of the man at the next table.
 And if we could only tell the man who says women don't know any, thing about friendships and are out to cut each others "throats' that his best friend has started trying to sell us on himself.
 But to keep the peace we let men get away with the condescending attitude. Isn't that just like a bunch of women?

 Hol1ywood.-Along with the swing to fantasy, the revival of horror and spook pictures, and the cycle of spec tacles which largely must be made with trick effects, movie magicianS the buster than ever. And the few highly technical illusionists, such as James Basevi and Fred Jackman, are collecting imposing consultation fees just for pulling ideas out of their hats.
 Metros wizard of Oz" is full of mechanical wizardry and the re- cent, too-realistic scare broadcast of an H. G. Wells story set many a studio to planning an imaginative terror flicker. Paramount expects to make Invasion" dealing with an hypothetical future attack by for eign powers on North America, one of its biggest pictures ever. And Co., lumbia will spend million on the reconstruction and destruction of ''The Lost Atlantis" . city that probably never existed except in the mind of Plato.
 IGNORANCE MADE
 HIM GOOD
 Techncial supervisor on the latter film will be Fred Jackman, who back in the earliest days of Mack Sennett and Harold Lloyd became a trick photographer through ignorance of the proper speed to crank a cam era. Gle cranked too slowly, thus greatly accelerating the action on the Screen).
 That accident won him a job photographing all the Keystone Kop chases, and gradually he devised other special effects now in common use. Warner Brothers hired and kept him for 10 years as it's head magician. Then he quit to be a technical consultant for all the studios with special problems and the money to solve them. He's es- pecially good with miniatures.
 James BaSevi also is a top-rank- ing miniature expert, but he's most famous for the big things he has done-air crashes, shipwrecks, earth quakes and storms.
 MINIATURE
 MAJOR DOMO
 A Canadian war veteran, he came to Hollywood as an ordinary archi- tect at Metro. When some of the shots in "The Big Parade" didn't look exciting enough, he got a chance to create bigger and more terrifying battle scenes in minia- ture.. The most interesting job was "San Francisco" in which full-sized sets were rocked and shaken to pieces. China Seas" believe, was the first picture in which he hoisted tons of water into huge overhead tanks and dumped it down chutes in the form of waves. Anyway, he invented the process, and when Samuel Goldwyn was planning "The Hurrican" he hired Basevi to handle all the wind and waves.

CLEVER WRAPPINGS GIVE
 PLEASURE

An attractively wrapped gift, one that has taken time and thought to do, seems a very personal man. ner to convey a deep Christmas feeling, even if the gift itself is very small. And the wrappings needn't be expensive, just well chos- en. Ten cent stores abound in all sorts of clever papers, smart rib- bons and package decorations. You might use two different colored papers on one package, a plain and 8 figured for contrast, or two dif- ferent colored ribbons. Plaids, pol ka dots and starred papers are good and practically every color is used, not simply the traditional reds and greens. Slip under the knot a sprig of mistletoe, a spray of fir or a Christmas flower or two for extra atmosphere.

Conference between Mrs. Mary Doyle Camp, acting superintendent of welfare, and group from the association of the unemployed of the Brass Workers union, CIO, resulted today in a proposal by John Purdy, president of the association, that the organization submit cards specify ing needs of members in order to obviate some of the investigation work of the pressed welfare work CTS. Mrs. Camp agreed thoroughly with the proposition and offered full cooperation of the department.
 Relate Problems
 About a dozen members of the group related their problems in ob- taining welfare relief and one mem- Der, who had believed the fact of his being property owner was keeping him of the WPA rolls, was inform ed that he now is eligible since his unemployment compensation bene- fits have been exhausted.
 Mrs. Camp told the group that the case load of the city is at its record mark and that several thousand persons are recipients of relief in some form from the department She emphasized that there can be no discrimination between persons, creeds, color or groups in the mat ter of obtaining relief.
 It was pointed out that some of those who have applied from the unions association have not waited for appointments and that there could be no differential between them and the numerous other ap- plicants in the matter of waiting
