Eberly y-izing Is
Contagious

1t is gratifying, but not surprising,
how many inquiries come to us from
friends, acquaintances and observers of
homes that have been renowned and
modernized Under The Eberly Plan.
These inquiries are prompted by two
very distinct impressions. First, the
practical and attractive transformations
we have made. And then, the
reasonableness of the cost.
Of course, there are no two
renovizing or undermining jobs just
alike. But whatever you may have in
mind, you can be sure that under The
Eberly Plan it will be worked out to
your satisfaction-and with Eberly Plan
efficiency. For ALL the work, be it
much or little, will be done by The
Eberly Plans own craftsmen-with only
ONE moderate overhead profit which
that insures-and ONE responsibility
for your satisfaction-OURS.

TRAVELLED SLIP TO WEAR WITH SHEERS

No wise woman will "slip up" on her slip supply when summer is ap- preaching. For sheer summer dress es demand a good foundation, and there's a well-fitting attractive style in Pattern 992. It's a Claire Tilden design which means precisely plan- ned details and easy making. Notice how the whole back is cut in just one simple piece, straps and all, with perfect fit. In front there's a long panel, with soft side-bodice sec- tions made in-one with the straps. High reaching seams keep your waist slim and smooth, but allow ample roominess through hips and skirt. There are gathers above the seams to hold in the bustline full ness. You'll like te way the built up straps and well-shaped neckline give pretty concealment from bras- siere straps and other intimacies under your sec through sheers. Lace edging adds final touch of delight ful femininity. This slip is so quick to make with the Sewing Guides in- formation, that you'll stitch up two of three!
 Pattern 992 is cut in women's sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, AZ, A, 46 and 48. Size 36 requires 2 5-8 yards 39 inch fabric and 3-4 yards lace edging. Send FIFTEEN CENTS in coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.

Gl0rUying Yourself

 She does not wear heavy layers of eye makeup on the street or even on the screen. She uses npstick to color her lips = not to make her mouth huge and thick-lipped. Her hair-do is simple, and her face has a glowing, reshly-scrubbed look.
 She is the new type of topnotch Hollywood star-a girl who IS na- turally glamorous, not artlflclal- ly so.
 You have this on the word of Da- yid O. Selznick who directed natur- al-looking Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind" unmade-up 1ngrld Bergman in Intermezzo,' and fresh faced Joan Fontaine in "Rebecca."
 q wouldn't let the makeup de- partment touch a hair in 1ngrid Bergman's eyelashes," says MT. Selz- nick. q didn't let them paint on a new mouth over Joan Fonta1ne'S own. And anyone who sees Gone With the Wind" won't argue that Vivien Leigh wore more makeup than was absolutely necessary.
 The famous director simply does not think any too highly of the way most of us apply rouge and lipstick.
 BE ARTFUL-
 NOT ARTIFICIAL
 Makeup has been carried to a ri- diculous point" the famous pro- ducer goes on. ''It has just about lost entirely its original purpose - that of artifice. Artifice achieves its purpose only if it is artful-not arti- ficial.
 women by the millions put on makeup without any regard as to whether it honestly makes them more attractive. Why, you can see their lips three blocks away!"
 MT. Selznick goes on to say that he thinks Hollywood is responsi- ble which, somehow, seems to take the sting out of his criticisms.
 We standardized beauty" he ex- plains. "As a result all motion pie ture stars got so they looked alike. And women all over the country have been trying to look like the stars. They have succeeded. They all look alike, too"
 However, now that Hollywood has realized the importance of in- dividuality and does not want its stars to try to resemble one an- other, David O. Selznick sees

placed in it at once and watched carefully day and night. It is not necessary to have complicated incubator. Many premature ba- bies have been saved in simply constructed ones.
 Skilled medical and nursing care are most essential. Nurses trained in the details of caring for prematures should be employed.
 How can we tell that prema- lures are doing nicely?
 When they take their feedings well without vomiting.
 When they sleep between feed- ings.
 When body temperature taken by rectum remains between 96 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit.
 When they have no difficulty in breathing nor show any blue ness of face or body.
 When they gain steadily, but not necessarily rapidly after the proper routine has been es- tabliShed.
 The question if often asked, Gan premature babies grow up normally and become well and strong as full-term babies?"
 The answer is, "Yes," if these babies have no serious develop mental defects and are taken care of by the most approved modern techniques.

REAL AND IMAGINARY CAUSES
 OF RESPIRATORY DISEASE

I
 In the preceding talk about coughs and wheezes we set up as the basis of the teachings and advice given in this column the dictum or dogma -and that is all you can call the old time notions about the cause of respiratory disease-that exposure to cold, dampness, wet feet, drafts, changeable weather or chilling of the body after overheating or sweat ing has nothing whatever to do with respiratory disease. (Op Doc Bradys belief and teaching it or leave it) Further we expressed the belief | that the actual cause of the reSpir- atory troubles the old timers attrib- ute to such exposure is excessive drying out of the indoor atmosphere by artificial heating without proper air conditioning. And then, just to reassure readers on the borderline between youth Ga state of mind) and old age (another state O. mind), we premise to waste a few words in this talk on the question of exposure to cold Towering resistance" and pre- disposing to infection.
 Frankly no one knows what "re- sistance" is, least of all the pro- fessional medical textbook writer who has the gall to say that this or that lowers resistance and so must be considered a contributing cause of a disease which is essen tially infectious. All of the animal and human experiments which have been carried out under proper con- trol have failed to give any appre- ciable evidence to support the quaint notion that exposure to cold ren- ders one more susceptible to any respiratory infection. And that is positively all the space and time l propose to devote to the delusion. I state my second dogma or dictum and leave it to you to come along with me or flock with the old fog ies, as you prefer: There IS no good reason to imagine exposure to cold, wet or sudden change in any way renders one more liable to contract any disease.
 The Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medlcal Association holds that advertisers may claim that vitamin A "aids to- ward establishing resistance of the body to infection in general, though 1t has not been shown to be spec fife in prevention of colds, influenza, and other such infections" That accounts for the many helps" in the radio announcers spiel. It is not permissible to say the vitamin builds resistance but only that it "helps" do so. If you ask me I'll say I don't know what you're talk ing about anyway, so go as far as you like.
 I do believe that the deficiency of nearly everybody's diet in vita min A, vitamin B complex and vii tamin D is a contributing factor of much illness, and that vitamin A defiviency has a good deal to do with the prevalence of the cri (com- mon respiratory infections) as well as chronic sinusitis, adenoids, hyper trophied tonsils, and chronic bron- chitis. Since it is the function of vitamin A to keep the epithelium or covering of mucous membranes and skin in healthy condition any shortage of this vitamin may be responsible for weakening in the first line of defense against infec- ton.

ter of good prenatal and obstetric care.
 The leading cause of death in the first year in prematur1ty. Pre- mature infants are considered those whose birth weight is fivs pounds or less.
 These rabies require special care on account of the following deficiencies:
 They have weak digestive sys- tems and cannot take the normal feedings of full-term babies.
 They are very susceptible to changes in temperature, espe- cially to exposure to cold.
 They are particularly suscep- / tible to infections and having little resistance, often succumb.
 They are liable to have trOu- ble with their breathing.
 The general bodily weakness of prematures may turn the tide SO that special measures must be employed to save them. Fortu- nately we have at our disposal means to overcome a number of the unfavorable conditions.
 In the first place we must pro- tect them from cold immediately after birth and keep them at an even temperature by thorough wrappings with suitable blankets and pillows. If an incubator is available, the baby should be

 With large-scale and successful sales depending upon advertising. that great national institution is directing most of its efforts in at tempting to influence milady's purchases and expenditures.
 Daily an advertising battle on a thousand fronts takes place. The participants in it are the va rious interests which are desirous of securing their share of the housewives dollar.
