Blansfeld Bills

Senator Michael V. Blansfield of Waterbury today introduced in the Senate two measures One amends the Public Utility laws of 1889 to permit newspaper delivery service without PUG. approval.
 The other bill affects state savings banks and is regarded as an impott- ant piece of legislation.
 It would allow depositors in sav- ings banks to elect one-third of the officers and directors, votes being accorded in proportion to the amount of their deposits. It also calls for annual reports of the salaries and bonuses paid banks of- ficers.
 The most important feature of the bill, though, is that which would require savings banks which have acquired real estate through fore- closure proceedings to dispose of the same within three years of acquisi- tion. The former owner would be given the opportunity to buy back his property at the foreclosure fig ure.

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Amcrica's Card Authority

Before leaving San Francisco to 0Dntinue my transcontinental bridge tgur, must tell you about one dynamic personality who is making Q name for herself in Pacific coast bridge, Maureen OBrien.
 Her conversation and coined phrases are as original and snappy es her line of reasoning at the bridge table. Not only can she think quickly, but she is able to conceal from her opponents what Is going through her mind. Here is a quick decision that helped her win the Ail-Western masters pair title with Wilbur Hayhurst Of Los Angeles.

Artificial essence of gardenia and synthetic nlacine and rnuguet are, in . sense, debutant cousins of gun-powder. Alcohols made from coaIatar bases are converted into . fascinating complexity of chem icalS- including tri-nitro- -tolulene, the proper name of T N T--some of which are used for munitions, some for plastics, some for anti- freeze, some for innocent cosmetic solvents.
 Tn addition, most dyes come from the same coa1-tar foundation. So get out your logic and figure out what happens to perfumes and lotions when the big guns are being loaded. Even though the whole ethyl alcohol supply for the toilet goods industry is only 2 per cent of the total production, 1t will probably have to be curtailed. Even the dazzling red of lipstick and the rose blush of rouge are on shalxy ground, though the proportion of available dyes which they consume is pretty tiny.
 To cheer up the downcast ladies bit, there's still plenty of tale for powder. The elegant pure white French and Italian variety is not to be had, of course, but North Carolina and Canada tale will do.
 Another bright spot is that the main oils used fin all run.of- -tne- mill cold creams will remain plen. tif0l enough.
 There hasn't been any formal treatment of the cosmetic problem by the busy Office of Price Admln- istration and Civilian Supply as yet. OPACS officiels are still all tangled up in the silk problem. But they expect to get some ex- perts on the job in 8 week or so to see that priorities and shortages don't work unnecessary hardships on 8 sizable industry.
 Naturally they will be concerned with unjustified price rises, smack ing of profiteering at public ex- pense. Already they have started inquiries into jump in the price of East Indian oils. And they are interested in efforts of the Depart ment of Commerce to find Phil- ippine and Latin American grown plants that can replace cutoff supplies.

ACCESSORIES AID THAT EXPENSIVE LOOK

Furthermore, if you replace lifts on heels as often as necessary, keep white collars and white gloves im- maculateiy white and remember to press your topcoats and your skirts a little more often, your wardrobe will seem more expensive than it actually is.
 Also, remember that 1t often is better to economize on dresses than on accessories. When 1t comes to having to make 8 choice, pay little more for shoes, gloves, hats and less for dresses rather than the other way around. Good accessories can do wonders for 8 closet full lof cheaper dresses.
 Remember that smartly made up face, trim hands and shining, interesting co;ffure are number one rules. You may have to wear less expensive clothes next fall and win- ter, but nobody will notice if your face, hair and hands are so lovely that attention is focused on them instead of your clothes.

PREVENTION AND RELIEF OF
 CHAFTNG

A query received recently had to do with the treatment of 'galding. It Stumped me, but after consider able Scrabbling in medical and or- dinary dictionaries I found a foot- note in good old Webster defining the verb gald, to gall; chafe.
 Chafing of the skin is the irrita- ton or inflammation caused by friction, either rubbing of opposing surfaces of the skin on each other or friction of the skin by clothing or by saddle of other surface. The irritation or inflammation so pro- duced is called erythema (redden- ing) dermatitiS (skin inflammation or eczema intertrigo. Intertrigo is a $5 word meaning to rub together or between chafing, at 50 cents, and intetrigo is that prestige or distinc- tion of ownership.
 Most satisfactory treatment of chafing is gentle bathing with soap and warm water, with several rinS- ings of water to remove all soap, drying by gentle pressure with soft towel or other absorbent, and finally a copious powdering with either plain talcum, or borated talcum or compound Stearate of zinc powder. This cleansing and powdering should be repeated several times in the course of the day.
 If there is weeping of the irri- tated or inflamed surfaces sop on the affected skin, after bathing and drying, weak solution of aluminium acetate about dram Oevel tea spoonful in eight fluid ounces (half a pint of water and let this dry on the skin. When it is dry apply one of the powders above mentioned.
 In some instances the more sat- isfactory application for relief of chafing when %he irritated surface Is moist or weeping. is fresh castor oil, which should be Srneared over the irritated surface, and covered with a clean soft cloth for protec- ton.
 Retention of sebum and sweat in the folds of skin permits decompo- sition and irritation. So does un- necessary or excessive clothing. Hence nudity tends to prevent chaf- ing. Access of air to the skin per. mitS natural disposal of sebum and sweat by oxidation.
 QUESTIONS ANSWERED
 Mineral on
 Our druggist says the human body can utilize only vitamins and minerals from plant sources. I un- derstand that one of the arguments to prove this contention is that the body does not assimilate oil.
 (W. R. MO
 Arswer-It Is true the body does not assiniilate mineral oil. It ig probable that mineral oil interferes more or less with the assimilation of food and vitamins. But there is no basis for the idea that the body does not assimiiate vitaminS from animal sources. The body certainly asslmilates vitamins in eggs, milk, meat, fish.

 Thanks to loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration families with 10 wincomes may cas- fly finance such charming homes On a $500 salary you may com fortably buy a property worth $3,- 900.
 The down payment on a $3,0OO home, if you're getting a ''Title II" FILA yloan, would be only 10 per cent or $500. You pay off the remainder-the loan itself in monthly payments of $15.70 over 25 years, as you'd pay rent.
 If you're planning on g family you can conserve funds by building 1 Ia story house and leaving the attic unfinished inside until you need the space.
 It's economical too, to keep bathroom and kitchen pipes close enough so you won't pay for un- necessary plumbing fixtures.

Glorying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

With the cost of fabrics and oi ready-to-wear clothes rising steadily, the beauty-minded woman renews her attention to sound rules for making less expensive clothes look like expensive ones. It can be done -as perfectly groomed career girls can tell you.
 There's the matter of having your clothes fitted by an expert, for instance. Any smart woman will agree that 8 ten-dollar dress that really fits will be twice as fiattering and look worth twice as much money as will a twenty-dollar dress that is too loose at the waistline or too tight across the hips.
 Correct posture assumes new important, too. If you stand tall and straight with stomach in, chest high and backbone in as straight a line as possible, your clothes will look more expensive than they will If you slump.
