Paul V. McNutt, Federal Security
Administrator, recommended today
that medical treatment be provided
at Government expense for selec-
tive service registrants rejected for
Army service.
The attempted physical rehabili-
tation would be limited to those who
requested 1t and whose defects could
be corrected with relatively little
treatment.
If such a voluntary program is
unsuccessful. Mr. McNutt said, it
might be necessary to lower physical
standards OF eligibility for selective
service and undertake compulsory
physical rehabilitation after induc-

Fashions For Men

In that line as nylon was In women s

linen. It Is soft to the hand. and

Before buying that cool suit for
the summer. here are some pointers
that might be well borne In mind.
Neither lightness of weight. nor
smoothness Of finish indicate the
GOODNESS Of q suit Of clothes. The
only thing that Is q guide Is the
garments porosity. Therefore. when
looking for q summer suit. hold the
coat TO the light and see whether
1t Is porous In construction. Also
feel the fabric for q smooth. hard

one or more coats Of q heavier wax
base Is used. Next comes two or
three coats of thin enamel In your
favorite shade. and finally an al
most colorless "sealer." The first
nails are dry by the time she has
finished with the last.
The experts manner OF applying
polish Is also new. The entire nail
is covered from base to tip, the
enamel being taken over the nail
tip to seal the edges and prevent
the nail from peeling or separating
in layers. Her method of shaping
the nail also helps prevent this:
the emery board Is held almost at
right angles to the nail. the edges
rounded just slightly.
Uses Scissors
Once the nails have been shaped
to her satisfaction, she may not
touch them again for weeks. the
treatment being. given over merely
to cuticle massage, cleanup and
polish. When 1t Is necessary to
shorten the nails. she uses first
very sharp manicure scissors which
make a clean quick cut and. In her
opinion, are less likely to damage
the edges than a steel file. Another
objection to a file for shortening
Is that 1t tends to overhead the nail
which may cause white spots and
other nail blemishes.
In addition to proper shaping
and care. Miss Sargent says women
should learn to spare the nail tips
as much strain as possible II they
want them to grow long and pretty
Many chores such as ringing door
bells. dialing telephone numbers
and so on can be done with the
knuckle instead OF the fingertip.

Meanwhile several children had
gathered around In anticipation of
witnessing q good fight. As they
listened, they appraised Jackie
with sidewise glances. critically and
with disdain.
The second boy reached for the
peak Of Jackie's cap and gave 1t q
hard yank down toward his nose.
"There!" he exclaimed vindictively.
you did 1t to me this morning."
Jackie adjusted his cap and called
the offender by an ugly name. Then
working the pedals of his bicycle,
he tried to get away, but now the
whole crowd was after him, jeering
him and pulling at his clothes. He
was at their mercy. and must have
realized 1t, because by some un-
canny instinct he did something
unprecedented for him-he neither
cried nor otherwise showed fear.
One Of the bigger boys finally
placed q protecting arm around
him and told the crowd to beat
It," When they hesitated. he reared.
Hes had enough" The motive?
A sense of fairness. perhaps. or
for Jackie's pluck.
Jackie. however. wriggled free Of
the protecting arm. He rode away
subdued and thoughtful. going
home the long way around the
block. He had no hard feelings for
any of the crowd. Indeed, he no
longer thought Of their rough
treatment of him now that he had
escaped their clutches. He seemed
to understand that the treatment
he had received was coming to him,
that you had to be fair or the
crowd dealt roughly with you.
Jackie. unfortunately, had been
q long time in learning this lesson
because his mother generally is on
hand to fend for him. Under the
circumstances he Is lucky to have
learned 1t at all.

have been caused by improper
shaping in the past. She doesn't
approve OF filing the corners close
at all but allows them to grow out
the full width of the nail. This
strengthens the nail tip so that
with reasonable care you can let
1t grow as long as you wish. but it
must grow out from the sides.
