How Bombs Kill
Proved by Tests
BY W. w. CHAPLIN

International News Service War Editor
The British have used goats 10
find out why blitz victims often
die although not hit by bomb frag-
mentS. Explosions were set off
near goats, some of which had
chest protectors. The ones with
protectors didn't show any i'll
effect. but The unprotected ones
keeled over dead.
That settled scientists argyll
ment as TO whether a bomb blast
kills by a chest blow or by Strik-
ing the lungs through the throat.
The result has been a Steppcd-up
campaign 10 convince people OF
the necessity of taking cover and
Of keeping away from windows.

Nurses on Duty Should Use
Discretion in Beauty Aids
BY DONNA GRACE

THERE ARE those who criti-
CHE trained nurses for using
makeup. They say, because Of
the dignity Of the profession and
the seriousness OF the work, a
nurse should never think OF
affecting any artificial look.
While We would all object 10
really artificial or garnls
makeup for trained nurse, we
believe il is better 10 leave the
whole matter Of makeup 10 the
nurse herself, without outside
criticism or advice.
Every good we'll trained nurse
wall have more discretion IN the
use Of beauty aids than most Of
us. They are intelligent, vivaci-
Gus and modern The majority
of them are young, so II they
want 10 use makeup of any kind
we believe they have a perfect
right 10 do IT, They will be
sure to restrict this makeup 10
face powder of a neutral shade
and a natural lipStick.
Soft Tones
There is the natural rose lip
stick that gives the lips good,
healthy rose tone without the
least suggestion Of An artificial
look and any of the beige or
medium rachel powders are
neutral enough 10 give the skin
a smooth. velvet tone that
merely accents skin beauty.
They may even brush the
brows with a very light sug-
geStion of mascara. They will
not use eye shadow or even
enough mascara 10 be noticeable
Artificial makeup would be in
either a brilliant lipstick, dark
powder or possibly too much
accent on eye makeup. Some
girls. even brunettes, may have
browS and lashes so light AS TO
detract from their goOd looks
and they are the ones who really
need a touch of mascara 10 give
the face expression.
You may be sure the patient,
especially a young soldier, Will
prefer 10 have ms nurse lovely
10 look at while they are to-
gether in the clustered, bare
rooms of a hospital.
In Bad Taste
Brilliant or deep nail polish
would be in bad taste for a
nurse. There is the clear, color
less. or very light polish that
will look natural and serve tc

quently scrubbed and in water.
About the only change We
would make in the attire or ap-
pearsnce of any nurse is about
her cap. We have always dis
liked the floppy patches OF
Starched muslin they wear so
far back on their heads. These
caps detract from neatness and.
certainly are anything but Hat
tering
They do not cover the hair in
any way so the point in wearing
il must be as a symbol of the
profession. II would seem that
either a band or cOronet style
that held most Of the hair
securely and flattered the face
would be preferred.
The subject of dress, and use
Of makeup and perfume, as well
as personal portm c n t, IS
thoroughly covered in the course
and every graduate nurse knows
what is expected of her.

Special Wrapping for
Bread, Cake, Butter

More than $4,000, 900 pounds Of
butter will be wrapped in specially
impregnated parchment paper dur
ing the current year to protect II
from losses due to mold.
Great quantities Of butter are ex-
pected to be saved from spoilage as
a result. thus helping to conserve
stocks.
Mold rarely can be recognized in
butter except by an of" taste,
according to food experts. Its growth
can be retarded even in warm
weather, however, by wrapping the
butter in paper treated with a mold
inhibitor. The baking industry also
is attacking the mold problem in
baked goods by Incorporating mold
retardents in increasing quantities
Of bread, pies, and cakes.

Hair Growth on Women'S
Legs Spoil Their Looks

A heavy or dark growth of hair on
the legs spoils their looks, no mat
ter how shapely. 1t doesn't look
pretty even under stockings. Most
women consider it a part Of good
grooming to remove nsightly hairs
regularly, especially during the
summer when legs are exposed.
Women who use a razor for this
purpose might take a lesson from
the men in the conservation Of the
precious steel blades. It is in keep
ing with the times that razor blades
be well cared for. Always wash the
legs with a cloth wrung out in soapy
warm water before using the razor,
as this softens the hair and makes
it less resistant to the blade. Then,
be sure to wash and dry the blade
thoroughly after each use. To keep
it from rusting, wrap it back in its
little paper cover. People who live
near the seashore should be particu-
larly careful about this, because salt
air tends to corrode the steel and
this, of course, makes it unusable.
A good soap and water scrub will
remove the dry skin particles that
sometimes give a rough or dan
druffy surface, and extra scrubbing
of the heels will help prevent the
formation Of callouses where the
shoe comes in contact with the skin.
For extra glamour, spread on some
fesh-colored hand lotion or suntan
lotion, depending upon whether
stockings or socks are to be worn.
