Teaspoonful I'm . Quart ~
In your excellent book "Save Your
Teeth" you recommend washing
fruit or vegetables with 10 solution
of hydrochloric acid to remove any
traces of residue from arsenic spray
left on the fruit or vegetable in a
dry season. Druggist informs me
that teaspoonful Of hydrochloric
acid in quart of water, which you
say is the right strength, would
make about 1-1o0Oth of a per cent.
(M. W.
Ans. Both the druggist and ! are
far from accurate. Roughly eight
teaspoonfuls in the ounce, 80 ounces
in the quart so one teaspoonful In
q quart would make approximately
q O.25% solution, or fourth Of one
per cent. Even so, perhaps 1t Is
enough. .
Processing Tomatoes
Canning process recommended by
California agriculture department
Heat to boiling point and boil ur-
til tomatoes are soft. Boiling for
approximately 10 minutes will kill
the engine that is destructive Of
viAamin g." The bottled tomato
juice Is then pasteurized In water
held at ITS to 100 degrees F. for 80
minutes. In canning we use tins
sealed with a special can sealer and
process in boiling water 30 minutes.
In your opinion how does this affect
the vitamin G content Of tomato Or
tomato juice? :. q. P. H.
Ans. Pasteurizing, boiling or heat
ing the fruit or juice or the fresh

and played her scenes Except where
her feet were shown in "Intermez-
20" without shoes, because Leslie
Howard who played opposite her, is
not much taller than she.
Her bright alert eyes and nat
urally rosy cheeks are as different
from droopy-eyed, pallid-skinned
"glamor" makeup as the great out
doors is from q cocktail bar.
In Sweden, she rode a bicycle to
the studio, and wants to buy one
as soon as she gets to Hollywood.
A compliment makes her blush
furiously. Finding that out, the man
who was directing her technicolor
test made her blush-she wouldn't
tell me how-so that he could see
Just what an honest = to goodness
blush looked like in technicolor.
If her glamor-the glamor Of I'M
affected simplicity - becomes the
model for girls of the new decade,
Gas it well may this will be the
second time American women have
patterned themselves on a Swedish
Aim star.
Remember the dead pan faces,
long bob, polo coats, and berets
Carlo inspired? That sort Of thing
seemed quite wonderful-then.

Perhaps no star so well typifles

WOMAN,S REALM :
GIOiying
Yourself

BY ALICIA HART
, NEA Service Staff WFftel

When q woman says, II can't do
anything with my hair" the chances
are nine out of ten that what she
should be saying is, II don't really
try to do much about my hair"
Because it is true that hair re-
spends satisfactorily, and usually
rather quickly, to good care. And
equally true that neglected locks
seldom lend themselves nicely to any
kind Of chic hair-do, however sim
pie.
MODERN HAIRBRUSHES
ARE WELL-DESIGNED
The smartest coiffureS ct the
moment absolutely demand healthy,
shiny hair which shows the excel
lent results Of meticulous grooming.
Whether you have retained your
long bob, are wearing your hair up
in front and down in back, or real
ly quite short all over the head with
soft curls or a roll on the nape Of
the neck, your couture won't be COM
pletely flattering or manageable UNI
less you brush 1t at least five times
a week.
If your present hairbrush is indeed
a sorry sight, by all means invest in
a new one. Choose q brush with
long, flexible bristles and handle
which fits your hand. One new type
has long, resilient bristles hared In
q sunburst arrangement over the
half-moon curved back. Another
with workman like bristles, has a
feminine looking back in Victorian
motif to match a comb and mirror.
These days, it's possible to get
brush which Is practical and at the
same time decorative.
CORRECT BRUSHING
WON'T HURT CURLS
Hold your brush lightly In one
hand, lean forward, relaxing your
body as you do so, then place the
bristles against your scalp at the
hairline and continue on out to the
ends of the hair. Let the bristles
become embedded in your locks.
Don't simply brush the surface,
neglecting scalp and hair under
meath.
When you straighten up, brush
upward from nape Of the neck TO
ends of the hair. In other words.
don't stop brushing until the scalp
is tingling and every hair has been
brushed and polished. Repeat five
nights q week and within three
months, you'll notice an enormous
difference In the texture Of your
hair and the ease with which the
waves and curls fall back into place
after the brushing.
Incidentally, don't worry about
correct, upward and outward brush
ing running a fingerwave. If the
wave was worth paying for in the
first place, brushing won't hurt it..
Downward strokes with the brush
might but not upward and outward
ones won't.
Il you have dandruff or If your
hair Is too oily or too dry, supple
weekly scalp treatments. There are
ment the brushing routine with
special tonics' designed to correct
scalp ailments. Brushing Is most
important, however. It's the great
cure-all. I
In addition, many smart hair
dressers advise the customer to
brush rather than comb her hair
do back into place each morning
It's easier, they insist, to brush q roll
over the finger than to, comb 1t over.
And they add that the brushed
ringlet springs back into coiled pos
ition more quickly than the combed
one.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

1t is surprising how quickly the
little people of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows become
used to a thing. As soon as they
understood what the flying giant
was, a machine built by man, they
gave no more attention to 1t. They
had found that it would not harm
them, with this their interest ceased,
and each one went on about his
business as usual.
Happy Jack Squirrels business at
this time of year is, as everybody
knows, the filling of his storehouse
with food for the winter. This year
Happy Jack had made a discovery
which worried him so that he was
growing thin instead of fat, as he
should have been growing at this
season of the year. This discovery
was that there were mighty few
cheStnuts. This was bad enough
in itself, but what was worse was the
discovery that very, very many of
the chestnut trees were dead or
were dying.
Happy Jack had known other
seasons when chestnuts were scarce,
and he had to work very hard to
get enough. But he had had the
comfortable feeling that next year
they probably would be as plentiful
as they then were scarce. Now
there was no such comfortable feel
ing. In fact, he knew that another
year there would be fewer nuts
than there were this year. It was
this which worried him so.
Happy Jacks cousin, Chatterer
the Red Squirrel. had made the
same discovery. For once the two
cousins stopped to talk without
quarreling. AS a rule, you know,
they do not get along together at
all.
"It seems to me you are looking
thin" barked Chatterer, as he met
Happy Jack at the foot of a chest
nut tree, long way from home.
II am thin" replied Happy Jack.
II have good cause for being thin.
1t doesn't strike me that you have
any lat TO boast about yourself"
Il haven't" chuckled Chatterer.
1--WE run it all off hunting for
chestnuts." Then he grew very
sober. 'It looks bad, cousin; ii
certainly looks bad. 1t looks as If
in another year some of us would
have to scramble some to get a
living" said he.
Happy Jack shook his head
mournfully and the worried look on
his face increased. at most GER
tainly does look that way" said he.
II can't bear to think of leaving this
part Of the Green Forest, but I con-
fess I don't see where food enough
is coming from unless the chestnut
trees stop dying. I wonder what's
the matter with them, anyway"

Seek Poets Double

Somewhere in Hollywood there
an actor who looks like John Mase-
field, the poet laureate of England.
He's wanted for a role in THE
American Vagabond," the life story
of o. Henry which will star Douglas
Fairbanks, jr., for Paramount.
But before he takes the part, he'll
have to practice up on his bar-tend-
ing, for Harold Lamb and Emily
Barrye in writing the script have
discovered that Masefield used to
tend bar in Luke OConnor's saloon,
opposite the Jefferson Market Court
in New York.
