 One of the most glamorous groups of young women in the country to- day is in the all-American chorus of the Chicago Opera Company.
 Chosen for their looks and poise as well as for vocal ability, these girls are beauty-fninded in a sane, sensihile way--each determined to remain attractive through the years, meanwhile retaining her own individually.
 ALL HAVE
 OTHER JORS
 They meet three times a week to rehearse under the musical di- recion of Kurt Herbert Adler, dyna- mic young conductor of the opera company, Between rehearsals, they are employed in Chicago as teach- CTS, secretaries and saleswotnen. A few are students. Some are home makers with young children.
 But, in spite of regular jobs plus hours of hard work, with an eye toward a future in opera, they find time to keep up appearances. Without a single exception, each member brushes her hair regu- larly and grooli1s her skin care fully before going to bed. She may manicure her nails and occa- sioflally wash and set her hair at home. hut she arrangeS her bud- get to allow for professional mas sage treatments. She knows that the exercise she is bound to get during rehearsals. plus regular appointments with n1asseuse, will keep her figure supple as well as slender.
 THEY WATCH
 THEIR HEALTH
 She is a perfectionist about her grooming. And she is a stickler for adherence to sound health rules. She gets an adequate amount of sleep, eats sensibly and doesn't think that exercise and massage are something to consider only when you approach middle age.
 On the bulletin board in the room where the all-Americaa, chorus gathers for rehearsal are three commandments for staying youthfully attractive = put there by Yvonne Ray, one of the mem- bers. It says:
 '.Be moderate in everything you do. Be enthusiastic about every thing you do. Don't be worrier.

HIVES

HIVES
 Hives, urticaria or nettlerash is an eruption of wneals resembling mosquito bites or the welts produced by the lash of whip on the skin, attended with considerable itching and burning, appearing suddenly. lasting several minutes to an hour or more, then disappearing without trace.
 Hives is an anaphylactic reaction or an allergic reaction to some or ganic protein substance. In suscep- tible individuals certain medicines may indirectly precipitate an attack notably aspirin (acetyl-salicylic acid) and salicylic avid or salicylates, quinine, opium, chloral, arsenic Serna.
 The organic protein substance re- sponsible for the trouble may he some particular food such as strawberry, lobster, pork, nut, cucumber, mush- room, honey, egg-white, raisin or one or more of a long list of foods. Moreover the food must be absorbed into the blood undigested or incom- pletely digested, for instance through some break in the mucous membrane tract, or through scratch of ths lining mouth, throat or alimentary skin, or by inhalation of dust ol vapor.
 Bites of mosquitoes, bees, bed-bugs contact with caterpillars, stingine nettle, primrose, and the presence o1 such common intestinal parasites al round worms, pin-worms or tape worm may account for attacks ol hives
 Gt orally a saline cathartic should be taken at the onset-a tablespoon full of Epson salts (magnesium sul' fate, or bottle (twelve ounces) ol Solution of Magnesium Citrate, one. fourth of the bottle every five or ter minutes until the whole is taken Then the less food the better for ( day or two. or a light diet of breas or crackers and milk, or tea aIlt toast.
 To relieve the itching and burning bathe the skin with basin of tepit water containing handful of salera'

tus or a handful of oatmeal. Pat dry with soft towel and dust skin freely with cornstarch powder or with borated talcum powder.
 The old reliable calamirle lotion is most satisfactory when itching is more intense. It is made by mixing a dram (teaspoonful of powdered calamine, two drams of powdered zinc oxide, ,one-haf ounce (table- sponfuD of glycerin, four ounces of lime water and enough plain water or rose water to make 8 ounces (oae- half pint) of. lotion. This is to be shaken up well and sopped on the itching skin with fingers, as often as needed, allowed to dry without rubbing. In cases where itching IS extreme, use one ounce of 5 per cent cafbolic acid solution q to 20 phenoD in place of one ounce of water or rose water in the formula.
 A powder composed of one part powdered camphor, three parts zinc ooxide and six parts constarch t soothing when Gusted over hives.
 Ordinarily hives never leave seal or mark, but a race form, beginning in infancy and recurring or remain ing indefinitely, may leave pigment ed spots.
 High calcium diet and perhap calcium feeding is advisable for an! one subject to recurring hives. (Sent stamped envelope bearing your ad dress and ask for monograph "Th'

The Philippines
BY PETER EDISON
Editor, E Service

MANILA, Philippine Islands
The government Of the Philippine
Islands is sending to Washington
this month its speaker Of the house
in the national assembly, Jose S.
Yulo. Officially. Speaker Yulo is
entrusted with the mission of ex-
planning and determining Ameri-
can opinion on certain amendments
to the Philippine constitution
granting the President emergency
powers over national defense. I'm
officially, Speaker Yulo VII sound
out American public opinion on the
question OF granting the Philippines
their independence in 1916, as pro-
vided for now under the Tydings.
McDuffie act of 1884.
If Speaker Yulo is able to learn
anything concrete about his unof-
fetal and more important mis-
sion, he will have something there
that most Of the American people
and most Of the Filipinos them
selves don't yet know.
For the whole problem of the
Philippines is one big long series
OF almost unanswerable questions.
Do the Philippines want indie
pendence?
Do the United States want to
drop the Philippines like the
bushel of hot potatoes they are?
II the Filipinos want to cut
loose, should the U. S. guar ntee
their independence, spending a few
billions for their defense?
Has the whole question of Philip
pine independence been brought up
a generation too soon?
Should both Philippines and
Americans put the issue on the
shelf. going along as they are now
set up for another % or Is years?
Should the setup be changed,
and the Philippines be granted a
kind Of dominion status-something
that doesn't now exist within the
framework of American govern
ment?
II the United States does not let
60 the Philippines, should we take
them over bodily and give them
territorial government such as we
now give Alaska and Hawaii?
Should the Philippines ever be
considered for statehood and ad-
mitted into the Union?
II the United States cuts loose
from the Philippines, will the Jap
anese gobble them up?
The answer to the last question

Book Highlights

You think of John James Audi
bon as a painter and not an ad-
venturer. You remember him for
his birds and not for his writing.
And yet he was adventurer and
artist and author. And because he
was all of these you may read this
fall one Of the most interesting,
distinguished books Of many sea-
sens. "A u d ubon's America"
(Houghton Mifflin: So.
This Is a volume embra cling the
best of Audubon in every field,
with an introduction and biograph-
ical sketch by the inimitable Don
aid Culross Peattie. 1t includes
II f~ull-color plates, representing
Audubon's wide range Of talent
from s~elf-portrait to bird and ami
NAL paintings. To read it is to
bring alive an America long dead.
For Audubon lived ju,' about'a
century ago. And he lived with a
tremendous zest - everywhere.
Writes 'Peattie: He savored
everything. even the unsavory. He
saw almost everything. from 1903
to 1S49, from Florida to Labrador,
from New York City to Fort Union
on the borders of Montana. He
lived among Pennsylvania Quak-
ers, in Kentucky among pioneers
from Virginia, in New Orleans
among Creoles, in Mississippi
among planters, in North Dakota
among Indians. He explored
Maine and South Carolina, Texa,
and Florida. He knew all types:
he was the friend of Daniel Boone
and Daniel Webster"
So you expect a generous, rich
book, as colorful as the birds Au-
dubon painted. You get precisely
that; from his hunters tales of the
south to his diary of the Dakotas,
from his nature essays'1 his char
acter studies Of pioneer types. You
get everything, in fact, o might
ask for between a pair of book
covers. If you have been behind
on your Audubon-and your early
American history-this is a grand
opportunity to catch up!
