Stars Dress Up
 For Relaxation
BY DEE LowRANCE

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Hollywood. = Clothes-c conscious Hollywood Is really in Q dither. If you join the Red Cross you may wear a blue uniform. Other branches of defense work get you khaki,
 But you can't wear uniforms all the time, Part of your patriotic duty Is in what the British call carrying on" So feminine Holly wood is induling itself in thoughts of what to wear for other occa- sionS.
 Most of the stars are keeping practicality in mind, Therefore they turn to suitS-all the way from spectator sports to dreSs-maker types. Ensembles, geared to the slight chill of January in California, come next. Some of them, with an eye to being Q cheery note on not too-cheery horizon, are going all out and giddy. They choose brilliant colors and sharp contrasts,
 For instance, Joan Bennett strikes a bright note in a Kelly green wool coat dress, buttoned slantingly down the front with self dyed wooden buttons and with a wooden belt buckle.
 Ida Lupino chose fuschia for her soft wool jersey ensemble, high lighted with black accessories.
 Lucille Balls hyacinth wool coat dress, sports dark blue accessories and. for a surprise accent, she wears with 1t a bright jade brace let, pin and ring.
 Beige Is another favored tone for general sports wear, Phillis Brooks wears beige in Q tunic suit of lightweight wool with e black bag and gloves.

WE, THE WOMEN
WE THE WOMEN Time Women Spend On Makeup Could Be Devoted To Serious Affairs-But It WON'T Be

If we gave up all our beautifying we'd have nn average of an hour or two a day that would be free time, to spend just as we please. And according to the complaints of most of us, we need that hour or two.
 We all talk about how busy we are, and we tell each other about all the things we would do 1T we lust had the time, and we excuse ourselves for all that we don't get done by saying that there just aren't enough hours In the day. LIPSTICKS PREFERRED
 BEFORE POLITICS :....
 We say we haven't time to mix in politics or do any community work because our homes and fami- lies keep us jumping from morning to night, ~
 Well, If we didn't have to spend SO much time on our looks in or- der to be just as well groomed and Rlamorous as the next woman, we could have some time for helping to run the affairs of state.
 See what wonderful things we could do--if our lipSticks and per- manent wave machines were taken away from us? Wouldn't 1t be won- derful2

CALCIUM FOR VIGOROUS
 YOUTH

Several years ago the Medical Research Council of Great Britain cited Leitch as authority for the statement that the calcium (lime) requirement. Is greater between the ages of ten and eighteen years than at any other time in life.
 Tn thls column have endeavored to impress upon the readers mind the fact that calcium Is no less important q constituent of nerve, blood and gland tissue than 1t is of bones and teeth, and that even though the diet supplies enough calcium (many authorities think the average American diet does not) the body cannot aSsimilate or utilize enough unless an adequate daily ration of sunshine vitamin D Is supplied at the same time.
 Foods that are particularly rich In calcium are milk, cheese, egg yolls, peas, beans, greens, nuts, pea nuts, many fresh vegetables, some fruits and fruit juices. Few foods universally available supply much vitamin D-fresh milk and cream and butter, egg yolk, fresh or can- ned salmon, oysters, canned sar- dimes, and of course milk or other fodos to which vitanlin D has been added. Few infants or children can consume enough of these foods to Insure an adequate intake of sunshine vitamin D. Tn the sum- mer time or In climates where cX- posture is practicable. exposing as much of the naked skin as possible to sunlight, short of sunhurn, en- ables the body to manufacture It's own vitamin D, though seldom enough to meet the optimal re- quirement.
 Heretofore 1t has been estimated by nutrition authorities that the growing child (ten to eighteen years of age) requires at least IS grains of calcium daily, which is approximately the amount present In e quart of milk. More recent studies indicate that only Q part of the calcium in milk Is assimilated under the most favorable condi- tions, although probably the cal- cium of milk cheese and egg yolk Is more readily aSsimllated than the calc'%m of vegetables, nuts, etc. So the present consensus seems to be that the growing child should have ct least as much calcium daily as Is present in three pints Of milk.
 One of the physiological func- tons of calcium in the body IS 70 prevent euro-muscular durability, and in popular terms this means 1t prevents nervousness" and undue excitahility. Calcium tends to pre- vent various spasm0dic states such as asthma, spastic constipation, so- called mucous colitis" (colon de- rangement), tetany, migraine, palm full cramps in the legs at night (sometimes called growing pains" in children, but often occurring in mature adults).
 Here the importance of on ade- quate intake of calcium for keeping the teeth sound and free from ca- ries (decay) need not be mention ed-tlahough the growing child who gets plenty of calcium Is far more likely to have sound, even teeth in adult life than is the one whose childhood intake of calcium is de- ficient.

PATTERN 449
LINGERIE SET SMART FOR MATRONS

For the woman who values her personal appearance, well-titting lingerie Is q wardrobe necessity. Too, she knows that if she makes 1t herself her lingerie will fit as she wishes 1t. Pattern 449 by Claire Tilden is beautifully cut--see how those side sections of the bodice are ln-one with the shoulder straps to eliminate strain. The curving hip seam at the sides allows the skirt to flare gracefully below, and the center panel keeps the slip smooth over your midriff. You may take your choice Of Q square or e sweet heart neckline-a bit of dainty lace edging is optional, too whip 1t on with the help of the Sewing Guide. If you make a pair of panties to match, edge them with lace also. Or you can make a pair of boomers instead. Both the panties and bloom CTS are gathered on an elastic at the waist; the bloomerS are gath- cred into a narrow band at the leg. Rayon satin or lingerie crepe in pastel shade should be your fabric choice. Why not make several ensembles to ''understudy" your new frocks and keep them fashion -slim2
 Pattern 449 is cut in women's sizes 34, 36 38, 40, A, A, 46 and 48. Size 36, slip and bloomers, requires 6-0 yards 30 inch fabric.

 Joan Blondell turns to beige, sandy-toned, for her accessories and topcoat with her emerald green dressmaker suit. K
 Beige in what might be called golden-pheaant tones Is the color of Irene Dunne's classically simple tailored tweed suit with which she wears 6 bie-brimmed autumn leaf felt hat trimmed in pheasant tail- feathers. Her alligator bag, pumps and cashmere sweater are Q deep tone of warm brown.
 SUITS, CLASSIC IN LINE, ARE GREAT FAvORITEs
 Just as classic in line is the three- piece suit Barbara stapwyck picked for race going. Made of olive green box-pleated front and back. The packet Is three-button, with darts at the waist to give Q bloused ef- feet. Her long coat is boxy with sunburst tucking at the center back. Her accessories and hat are turf tan in color.
 Black is Q standby. You can't wean Claudette Colbert from her favorite black corded wool with a slit skirt.
 Rosalind Russell also picks black wool aS do both Greer Carson and Jeannette Macdonald >- and all three tend toward the strictly tail- ored.
 Winter White also has its place in the fashion Sun--already some of the younger stars are ready with new whites to wear when movie making gives them some free time. Among these are young Judy Gar land, Anne Baxter, Maureen O'Iiara and Anne Rutherford.
