Maybe you're curious to know
how an entire village can be blasted
from the air in these days when
all airplanes, except military, are
prohibited from flying on the West
Coast. Well, it's done like this:
Dynamite is planted in specific spots
about the village and, at correct
intervals, the powder Is set off by
man sitting at switchboard
Actual shots of the Jap planes over
head will be inserted in the film
later and they will be authentic
scenes of Jap planes because they
are Jap propaganda films which the
studio obtained for use In the film
When you see the planes in the air
and their bombs dropping on the
village it will be dreadfully realistic.
And yet actually, the two scenes
will have been photographed thou
sands of miles apart.
There is silence now in the de-
stroyed Chinese village. Gone Is
the peace. The effect on the viii
layers is surprising. They are deeply
affected by the realism Of the affair.
The Chinese children no longer
threaten to knock each others block
off. Deanna has lost her infectious

 Did 1t ever strike you that "meaw" remarks call attention to the catty ones own defects?
 The personality experts idea that you never build yourself up by tearing down someone else is perfectly sound. And it applies es- pecially to personal charms. In fact, I'll go a step further. It's worthwhile to look for the other woman's charms and tell her about them-honestly.
 The surest way to draw attention to flaws in your appearance is to go around calling attention to Some- body else's thin eyelashes or large ears.
 WHEN YOU MEOW"
 THEY EXAMINE YOU
 You say, Judith is getting pretty hippy, isn't she?" And Mary, who listens, looks YOU over and thinks, "Not so slim yourself, are you?" or YOU cer- tainly should talkl"
 The point is, when you speak of Judith's defects you turn attention to defects and it's just human na- ture for your listener to consider them in relation to the person nearest-which is you. And it works just as effectively the other way round.
 What a lovely hat!" you say. And both the one who wears it and those in hearing look for your as- sets. Politeness enters into this, of course; social usage makes your re- mark a challenge. But there's some- thing a little more important than that involved, if the remark is genuine.
 Of course you know that nothing Is emptier, nor so instantly recog- nized, as empty flattery. That is no substitute for an appreciative atti- tude which looks for assets and reports them when they are there.
 There are two remarks to avoid by rule, however.
 That makes you look old" is one. The other, if insincere, is That makes you look younger"

REDUCTION SHOULD MAKE
 YOU LOOK AND FEEL BETTER


 The reducing craze of the early thirties has practically died out, al- though one still hears some wistful carrier of stacker flesh apologizing for 8 second helping of that deli- cious cake and promising to Ego on & diet" next week.
 While the craze was raging it brought plenty of unhappiness. The most publicized reducing diets" were unscientif1c in design and pathological in effect - if the vic- tims adhered to the freak diet long enough to achieve notable loss of weight they generally suffered more or less impairment of health and in too many instances developed active tuberculosis, from the light ing up of the latent tuberculosis which most of us have.
 Even though unscientific restric- ton of diet, in the endeayor to re- duce, brings no such tragic effect it Is notoriously likely to spoil any good looks the victim may have had, that is, if any considerable reduc- tion occurs at all. This is due to the same cause as is the health impair ment already mentioned, namely, malnutrition.
 The popular notion of malnutri- tion is starvation or not enough to cat. That Is not the medical sense of the term at all. When medical examinations of school children, for example, shows that many of the children are suffering from "malnu- trition," 1t is a sweet gesture for Lady Bountiful in the parent-teach- CTS or similar organization to start movement to provide breakfast, or lunch, or extra food of some sort for the poor "underprivileged" chill dren. AS a matter of fact Lady Bountiful's own pampered bra . kids are just as likely to suffer from malnutrition as are the children Of the most poverty stricken family in the community.
 Malnutrition occurs in most in- stances from unbalanced diet, in- sufficient intake of yitaminS and minerals in proportion to the intake of protein, fat and carbohydrate. The well-to-do with plenty of money to buy food. are as ignorant of what constitutes good food as the poor are. Even the few, poor or well-to- do,. who have learned something of nutrition find it practically impos- sible to adjust their everyday diet to yield adequate amounts of vita- rains and minerals to maintain good nutrition. The readily available food materials from which the aver age person derives 55 per cent of his daily calories (wheat flour and sugar) have been robbed of the vita- mins and minerals that grew in the wheat or cane in the refining pro- cess. It is reassuring to assume that one can restore the essential vita minS and minerals to the diet by including a sufficient amount of such foods as fresh vegetables, greens, fresh fruits, milk, eggs, but ter, nuts in the diet. In theory that Is fine. In practice it just isn't pos sible. In order to insure the daily intake of the amount of vitamin B complex lost from the diet through ultrarefinement of wheat and sugar cane one would have to consume daily nearly 1 IA pounds of fruit, little less potato more than 1-2

 Honolulu.-For a few months after the Hawaii blitz, 1t looked like the girls would have to go back to hula skirts.
 With all freight, except for the military, banned, and parcel post limited to II pounds weekly to each dress shop, Honolulu girls soon completely cleaned out the ready-to- wear market.
 They listlessly thumbed through fashion magazines, dreaming of the good old days when they could snap up an exclusive at some of the better stores. Finally three Honolulu garment factories began to take matters in their own hands.
 With the stock on hand they began a mass production of sports clothes, slacks, comfortable beach wear. But, their motif was defi- nitely Hawaiian.
