 There are more curves on any one movie set in Hollywood today thai, there were in the entire film capital five years ago.
 So saws Travis Banton, famous Hollywood designer who has been taking the measurements of the Alng| stars and making their clothes for many, many years.
 "The change in figures has been gradual, but 1t has been definite" "| MT, Banton continues. Guessing roughly, I'd say that the averagc| weight of the female star today ia| higher by about 12 pounds than iu| was in 1885"
 The designer attributes tho| change--and he adds that its a| change for the better-to the gen. eral masculine revolt against pain fully thin, shapeless female figures and to youths enlightenment on the| subject of good health.
 "Ten years ago." MT. Banton con- tinued, "the youngsters who arrived in Hollywood all strove to look like replicas ot their 13-year-old broth CTS, They'd had a physical precedent set for them by tho older, more sea- soned stars. Those were the days of the amb-chop-Sliced-p -pineapple diet fads which kept the stars not only thinned down and bony, buC also jittery and on the verge or nervous breakdowns."
 EXTRA WEIGHT HELPS
 HEALTH AND BEAUTY
 The designer points out that the potential starlets who arrive for screen tests these days have curves plenty of them, and that not one looks as If she might burst Mto tears at the drop of leading mons voice. or get too over-wrought dur" ing q hard day before the camera, He Is convinced that the extra piy of weight which 1941 stars permig themselves makes for robust healttY and steady nerves.

 Mot one of these girls is even sliphtly on the fat side, of courseI R,,t she has curves instead of hol1 lows. And because the public ha!; been cheering the new Hollywooq figure, the older stars have met tnS challenge and they, too, are pusity rounding out their figures"
 MT, Burton says that HollyWooo op-ranking designers, as well " the public, are oil out for the new type of g'amor girl . t,,,l

LEUKODERMA

Absence of pigment or disappear ance of the pigment from an area of skin produces q white spot, called leukoderma. vitiligo, or piebald skin, It seldom appears before ten or after forty years of age. Cause Is l'n- known,
 Usually there Is increased pig mentatlon Of the skin around the edges of the white spot, making the white spot more conspicuous by contrast.
 The patches of white skin are permanently white and no remedy Is known.
 Treating the ring of increased plgmentat!on around the white spot as moth patch or freckle, to remove the excess pigment, sometimes makes tho blem!sh less conspicuous,
 Ill Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology, Aug, '33, pr. M. II. Cohen reported successful treat- ment of a case Of leukoderma. Pa- tient applied 10 per cent alcoholic solution of oil of bergamot to the white spots twice daily, Ultraviolet light from carbon arc lamp was ap- piled to face three to five minutes twice a week. md intravenous h. lection of gold sodium thiosulfate lh grains was given once a week. Tn two weeks the white spots on face began to coalesce and at each successive visit the white spots could be seen to be gradually show ing some pigmentation. In six weeks the face was free from any sign of the disease, Patches on the thighs did not improve so rapidly or so much, perhaps because only the face was given the ultraviolet treatment. Ill all the patient re- ceived fourteen intravenous inJee- tions of the gold-sodium thiosul- fate. A year later no return Of the easily administer the gold and leukoderma.

WILL GET MORE FROM HER JOB

She won't careleSSly slide into the habit of being late to work, being all set to leave the office fifteen minutes before closing time, or waiting when she has finished with one job until someone notices and comes around to give her some- thing else to do.
 And she won't let any opportuni- ties pass for learning more about the organization for which she works with the thought, "What's the use? This is just a temporary job"
 Even If the job should prove to be temporary, in spite of her at- titude, she will have learned far more from 1t and will probably get much better recommendation to use in hunting for a permanent job than the girl who treated her first job as temporary from the very beginning. .-.

THE WAR ON ACCIDENTS

J. J. Gillian, director of Floridass de-
partment of public safety. has ordered all
highway patrolmen to cooperate with
newspapers in getting before the public
full reports on automobile accidents.
The patrolmen "as quickly as pos
sible" are to supply newspapers and news
services with names, ages, race and ad-
dresses of person or persons killed or in
iured place and time Of accident, name,
age. address and race of drivers involved; ;
name. age, race and address of any person
or persons arrested, aaRd charges made
against them. eee
The purpose of the detailed informa-
ton is to enable the state, through a clip
ping service, TO get complete overall rec
ords of accidents in Florida, their probable
causes, methods of avoiding them, and SINH
lar data.
Principally, as Gillian has pointed out
in letter seeking newspaper cooperation,
the problem is one of education. Detailed
information on accidents, obviously, is the
first step in such education.
Something must be done about cutting
the accident rate-whether it is done by the
state, federal government or the counties
but the department of safety is up against
an apparently hopeless task in attempting
10 educate drivers to safety.
We don't say it can't be done, or that
isn't up to the department to try, but the
lessons of similar campaigns in the past
point to the fact that it's long. hard road
to talk the average American driver outIof
breaking his neck.
The popular attitude toward accidents
is puzzling one-an apparent feeling that
something may happen to "the other fell
low, but couldn't possibly touch me.
Against that attitude, education or efforts
to shock the drivers into being careful,
seem to be pOwerless
AT any rate. we wish Director Gillian
luck. If he keeps every Florida newspaper
story about accidents he will have a CORY
file when it is complete.

A SCIENTIST LOOKS AHEAD

DIR. Thomas Midgley. Jr., 5O-year-old
scientist, now suffering from infantile
paralysis, was recently honored by the
American Chemical Society which be-
slowed upor him its highest honor, the
Priestley Medal.
DIR. Midgley. we understand, has
played an important part in improving the
technique of air conditioning and rubber
INFLAMMATION, the use of "anti-knok gasO-
line and the extraction of bromine from
sea water This hard-headed scientist is
not given to futile day-dreaming, but many
readers, after coming into contact with
some of his predictions, will have another
idea.
DR.. Midgley forecasts the commercial
tapping of an estimated three quadrillion-
dollars worth of gold now existing in dilute
form in the worlds oceans. He also pre-
diets: inter-planetary travel introduction
of water on Mars and oxygen on Venus to
make those plants habitable; age-control,
allowing an individual to remain at what
ever age which seems pleasing the elm
ination bf indigestion through the use of
horm9nes and the end of visitingApeople
will call on one another via televisions .
While the doctors predictions may
seem to be somewhat advanced there is
much in the history of the past to indicate
that he is upon solid ground. In fact, there
is no telling what science will do for man
kind
There seems to be no limit, AMI de-
spite fluttering doubt about the doctors
ideas as to Mars and Venus, we are in
elined to underwrite his prophecies with
out reserve.
