valuable remedy"
Restores Resistance
In a number of cases of skin
disease it has also been found to be
useful. The action Of chlorophyil
seems to be to restore the resist
ance of the body cells rather than
to kill the germs themselves.
These discoveries are in the ex-
perimental stage but the doctors
who are using them r sufficiently
encouraged to make them willing
to 70 on record with statements
concerning them.
The use of chlorophyll in the
treatment of acute and chronic
suppurative conditions has been
tried with considerable success.
Theoretically there is much to be
said for it. Chemically it seems to
adapt itself to this use. 1t has
been used in surgical conditions,
in nose, ear and throat trouble, in
dermatology and a variety of con-
ditions.

Husbands

Suggestions
By RUTH MILLETT

Their wives can't-st least
they shouldn't-tell them and so
it's up to someone else to let hus-
bands in on what women like and
do not like their husbands to give
them for Christmas.
Well men, here goes. And please
don't let this information go in one
ear and out the other. Remember
1t this Christmas and next. your
next anniversary and the ones fol-
lowing, and act on it.
Women are sentimental Great

you had consulted your mother
than to have spent your hard
earned cash on that impractical
frilly-silly satin robe that caught

ASK MoTHER-SHE KNOWS
So here's the first rule: Unless
you are positive that you know
how to pick out gifts that a wo-
man would buy for herself il she
could let herself be that extrsva-
giant - call in some outside femi-
nine help.
Be sure il is someone who knows
your wife, her tastes and her
secret longings And not the cute
little trick in your office that you
think is feminine enough to know
everything along that line.
Get your advice from the friend
who knows all" about your wife
and see that she is definite. In
fact, you should urge her to do
some sleuthing for you before ever
you start out on your shopping
expedition. II she will have sew
eral suitable gifts lined up for you

Harlem Pleased
With New SINGER

NEW -(ANP)-There is
one aspect of Harlem that surely
must be refreshing to those of its
music lovers who have been resi-
dents for some years, namely its
obscure and almost unknown re-
cital auditoriums.
To one who has keen interest in
its community musical development,
it is something hardly short of a
thrill to walk into a quite ordinary
street block with a two-lamp portal
edifice, under it and find large
audience of enthusiastic music
lovers rapt in attention upon re-
cital. Such were the circumstances
surrounding Massie Patterson'S con-
cert at the Finnish hall Sunday
evening.
Mrs. Patterson, we recall, made
her downtown debut last season
with pretty much the same songs
by d'Indy, Delibes, Gounod, Masse-
net, Schubert, Grieg, Boatner, Hall
johnson and Sonny Vale, which need
not again be listed.
But to bring back to our Carl
bean readers pleasant memories of
their native land we here append
the complete list Of folk-songs from
that region interpreted by the sing
er in most ingratiating manner:
"Moin Sc yon petit brun doo-doo"
La pom pocheeway passe Sein me-
me-, "Bajan girl', Pack she back
to she ma, Pepper sauce woman,
"Tingalay o., Landau Tarban"
1.-TWO little dumplings" and Louis
Camille"
The sopranos voice was not of
the fettle heard last season, pre-
Sumably because she was not ap-
pearing for the purpose Of receiv-
Ing fine, critical analysis. Her aim
was definitely to give her audience
a program of interesting and de-
lightful music. In this she succeed
ed most admirably.
