have your income for all of your
conscience" screen dialogue never
has been funnier.
Or, if it has, it undoubtedly is in
the passage in which Mai. Barbara
gives moral bludgeoning to a stray
bully which reduces him to fright
ened, sniveling pulp.
There are dozens of sequences al
most as good in Major Barbara"
One is that in which two tattered
scoundrelly mission patrons discuss
the practical wisdom of pretended
reform which enables them to eat
regularly. Another is the family
prayer scene. Still another is that
grand tour of the munitions fac
tory, a climax which finds every one
suddenly recanting either wholly or
IN part on his previous philosophy.
1t all adds up to Mr.. Shaw having
a magnificent time with human
frailty, fun in which you undoubt-
edly will join, forgiving the picture
the flaws it indubitably possesses.

reviewer, but still he means what he
says when he says it. There is, for
instance, this affair called "Unfin-
ished Business" which opened yes
terday at Keiths. This isn't mans
picture-certainly not this mans,
we can assure you.
For Unfinished Business" you
see, is about a woman who goes
about muttering that she is not un-
derstood, either by her husband or
by her husbands brother, who
kissed her first in a Pullman COM
partment while en- route from Ohio
to New York, or by any one else
for that matter. Her travail seems
to stem from the fact that her hus-
band can not understand that there
is, within every woman, a certain
amount of unfinished business
which connects her with her past
in Pullman compart-
mentS. Confronted by such an item,
the film reviewer, being a mere male,
can only shrug away his bewilder-
ment at all the actions of that other
sex and call the thing a woman's
picture. Women, at least, must be
able to understand women.

Even among such talent, however,
Mr.. Shaw stands out TitaniCally as
the chief figure in Major Barbara.
He was author not merely Of the
original. but of the screen script
and the dialogue More than that,
he Is the sole figure in a drou, yet
poignant, prologue in which he
speaks to America of life and death
and the way the world IS going. 1t
Is quite fitting that it should be so,
acceptable even that ShaW's style is
a bit verbose for the movies, for
givable that his picture Iimps oc-

entertaining than "PygmaliOn." Mr..
Shaw at less than his best is so
much better than most screen

Major Barbara" is a brightly
imagined bit of storytelling faith
fully translated to the new medium
by the author and his producer
director, Gabriel Pascal. 1t deals
with a brilliant beautiful and intelli-
gent English girls effort to frustrate
the malefactiOns of her munitions
tycoon father by winning every one
over to brotherly love via the Sal

effort of a handsome, cynical, phil
osophic young man to win the girl
away from both her fathers house
and the Salvation Army. Below

comic mockery. The millionaire, an

is its title and it tells, as you might
guess, the story of the United States

is quite an informative item. You
will learn, among other things, that

that the Navy seems to have an
efficient air arm, that landing and

To become a stronger, healthier nation, we must improve out diet. Every modern scientist will tell you that. Many people, they report, are committing form of slow race sui eide by neglecting in their family diets essential foods either through indifference or some prejudice.
 Today, under the great impetus of the drive for total national de- fense, many people are beginning to listen to the warnings of expert nutritionists and blochemists. We as nation, should eat at least 60 per cent more fruits and vegetables than we do, 50 per cent more butter milk and eggs, and about 10 per cent more meat to attain full na- tional health.

 am employed in a woodworking plant, and there is great deal o' fine dust. They have blower sys- tenn, but it is not very effective. Where does al lthe dust that enters the eye go? How do the lungs rid themselves of the dust inhaled? Does the bloodstream carry it away?
 c. M0 Answer-Dust that gets in the eyes is washed away by the tear duct from the inner angle of the eyelids into the nasal passage. Dust inhaled is mostly caught in the sticky mucus of the lining of nose, throat, larynx, windpipe and bron- chial tubes. Any that reaches the lungs may be deposited there per- manently or gradually carried away through the blood stream. Wood workers sometimes, though not mineral dusts, develop tuberculosis so frequently as workers exposed to eventually.

THE CACHEXIA OF RIGGS
 DISEASE

If the D intake is adequate enough calcium and phosphorus will be aS- simulated from the ordinary diet, unless the diet is unduly restricted by whim. or deprivation of lack of appetite If enough vitamin B com- plex is present in the food, assimila- tion of iron from the food will probably be sufhcient-the body uses only about one-fourth of grain of iron day Thus correct diet alone would probably proven t chronic gengivitis or pyorrhea. But treatment of the cachexia after 1t has developed demands at least for the first few months, daily intake of two or three times as much of the vitamins mentioned as would be necessary to maintain normal health and function in the normal individual, for in the case of Riggs disease not only the daily require ment but also additional amounts must be supplied to restore to the depleted tissues a reserve with which to build, to aid regeneration. This is sound practice-larger amounts of vitamins are always necessary to cure than would be necessary to pl event deficiency disease.
 So, then, if I had any indication of pyorrhea would supplement my diet with extra daily rations of vita mins, as follows:
 CD Vitamin D, 800 units
 (2) All the calcium and phos- phorus in milk, cheese, egg yolk, beans, raw carort, etc.
 (3) Vitamin A, 45,000 units
 (4) vitamin c, 750 units
 (5) Vitamin B complex - 1,2O0 units of thiamin and proportionate amounts of the other entities
 (6) Maybe some extra iron, If l were anemic. I'd keep this up for thre or four months, at leastc. After that, if my gums, teeth, mouth and general condition semed much im- proved, I might reduce the daily ration to about one-third of the amount indicated, but I'd continue with that indefinitely.
 One would not restrict Q scurvy victim to the amount of vitamin c which Is necessary to prevent man ifestations of the disease. and so 1t is advisable that the individual with signs Of pyorrhea or chronic gingi- wits take considerably more than lust enough vitamins to prevent such trouble. at least for the first few months, until the depleted tis- sues can build up reserve with which to regenerate healthy tissues

Glori6ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer


 The women on the so-called 'best- dressed" lists are on those lists not only because they have the time and money to find and buy the right clothes, but also because they take time to dress.
 There are no two was about it.: smart costume looks smarter on the woman who dresses slowly mad painstakingly than it does on one who brags about always being able t otake shower, dress and put on makeup in twenty minutes Hat.
 There's the matter of stockings, for instance. Pulling them on too hurriedly results not only in crooked seams but strained ones. A girdle does more for the figure when 1t Is put on exactly according to the directions the sales-woman repeat ed when she sold it..
 If you take care of your clothes and put them on carefully, you won't need ever to be reminded that your slip shows or that a seam has popped or that g. button is about to fall off.
 About the best investment any woman can make is in a full-length mirror. Without it she'll never be quite sure that her hemlines and stockings are straight, that her shoes appear to be definite part of her ensemble.

TAKE TIME FOR l CAREFUL JOB

It's a mistake not to allow your self the time required for blending foundation film or lotion into your skin, for getting rouge on so smoth- ly that your cheeks seem naturally flushed instead of painted. Your skin won't have dull, mat finish unless powder is pressed on firmly, allowed to set for a moment or two before the excess is whisked away with piece of clean, fluffy cotton |.
 All of which takes a little time, of course. But cosmetics that are slowly and properly applied are so much more flattering and, in addition, stay on so much longer, that the smart woman doesn't be- grudge a second of the extra time required.
