There, in front, he attaches two wedge shaped scarfs, wide ends down. When you see her approaching, you'd feel sure the woman wore a cardigan jacket. Thus, precious lit-

PSYCHOLOGIST RECOMMENDS
 NARCOTIC

Professor of Psychology in University writes, in recent book for popular instruction
 ". It has been found that 8 chemical substance, namely sod- ium amytal, is found useful in med icine practice when it is desired to bring 8 too-shut-in patient to a state of greater responsiveness"
 What would like to know is, just what is sodium amytal? Is 1t a drug or habit forming, how does it work on the body, how taken, in what doses2
 I am twenty-six years old and have been a chronic introvert all my life, given to sullen moods, have tendency to put and become of- fended at the least provocation una- ble to mix with people and gener- ally unsociable. I find my tempera- ment to be positive handicap, both in business and in social life, and while have made a little progress in overcoming 1t by an effort of will power, still have not achieved the degree of eXpressivenesS I would like to have. And since I have rec ognized my deficiency, and have conscientiously tried to overcome 1t without noticeable results, am in- clined to believe that the condition is due to a basically physical or bodily condition, and would respond to the proper antidote. find that alcohol has the desired effect, but only temporary, and of course with bad after-effects.
 So I would like to know whether 1t is safe or take sodium amytal and what results may be expected. So far as I know I have no organic or physical defects or diseas es.
 (Gw.A0
 This young mans description of himself fits my case right down to the use of alcohol-thank God and good mother and the Band of Hope and the Women's Christian Temperance Union and Miss Ber- ner, teacher of hallowed memory, in my youth never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood. Again I say thank God for the in- fiuence of such women.
 If though the narcotic Sug- gested by the psychology professor, or shot of cocaine or morphine or booze would enable me to achieve the degree of expressiveness I would like to have" I'd take it like a shot.
 But I know better. So does any other physician.
 Sodium amytal is a powerful se- dative producing sleep. It is some times used preliminary to surgical or dental anesthesia. It is one of the numerous barbital or baritur- ates which have succeeded older narcotics or hypnotic sedatives such as veronal and chloral c'knock- out drops'D in the past thirty or forty years.
 If I had to choose a sedative hypnotic for myself I'd prefer chlor-' al to any fancy synethic drug in the barbital group.
 The psychology professors sug- gestion of sodium amytal seems de- plorably wrong. Even if resort to such narcotic or hypnotic could bring any one to state of greater responsiveness" or greater "expres- siveness"-whatever these peculiar terms may signify - 1t is hardly the province of psychologist to com mend the drug to the public.

ScarfS Become Jackets And BIOuSeS In Mainbocher'S Spring Collection

Pretty important just at this mo- ment when nobody knows how. soon the yardage per dress may be de- cided by the fortunes of war.
 Tn a blunt statement introducing the clothes, the designer said: "At the present moment in America, where almost every woman is g career woman working in some way to win the war, to say not such a compliment as to say she looks so right"
 Consequently, he sponsore d "ceaseless rejection of pre-war dressmaking devices". He added that nowadays the woman who looks ''too divine" in the old school sense is equally depressing" with the one who "has no time for clothes.

 That's straight falkland Main bocher's scissors talk as plainly His daytime dresses are simmer, longer, many of them IA or IS inches from the floor. Thus, for nal and informal costumes merge. His town and country clothes merge: twin sweaters, sensation of his last fall evening clothes, are encored and they also appear prominently among street clothes His silhouette is straight or, slim mer, plainer than ever. Witness the headpieces. Long famous for show ing dresses without hats because he does not design hats, Mainbocher this year showed dozens of dresses, including many street dresses and suits, with "an echo .. just ges- ture" in the hair. For example, Q daisy print dress, and on the head a narrow strip of veil tied around like Alioe's ribbon with bow on top and over that 8 single daisy.

BY Ramon Coffmun

After Caesar returned to Rome,
Cleopatra made a journey there.
She hoped to marry Caesar, and
thus to share the power over the
whole Roman empire, instead of
ruling only a single country.
The Egyptian queen failed in her
object. Two years after going back
to Rome, Julius Caesar was mur-
dered.
That event brought on new war
fare, and years passed before it be-
came clear who would take his
place. Even then the power was
divided between three men-a good
friend of Caesar named Mark
Antony, general named Lepidus,
and young man known as Oc-
tavian.
Meanwhile Cleopatra once more
had taken up residence in Egypt.
She was at this time the only mon
arch OF the country, no longer hav-
ing brother with whom she needed
to share the power.
Mark Antony had arranged to
rule the eastern end of the Roman
empire, and it seemed plain that he
meant to take the Egyptian throne
away from Cleopatra. That lady,
however, had other ideas.
Meeting Mark Antony, she
charmed him-perhaps even more
strongly than she had charmed
Julius Caesar. For II years she
helped him rule his share of the
empire.
A sharp end came to the story of
Antony and Cleopatra. Octavian,
who had made his home in Rome,
opened war against his partner
After winning an important sea
battle, Octavian entered Egypt,
Antony and Cleopatra took their
own lives. We are told that Cleo
patra died after letting an asp crawl
from a basket and bite her. In
later years. Octavian ruled the
Roman empire under the name of
Augustus.

would have gone back to Rome to
enjoy the honors OF ofice, but
Caesar went on with his travels
until he reached Egypt.
In Egypt he directed a short war
which grew out of a struggle for
the Egyptian throne. An effort had
been made to keep a princess from
her rightful place as co-ruler with
her brother. Friends of the brother
had set him up as the sole monarch
Of Egypt.
Perhaps it was the beauty of 81
year-old Cleopatra which caused
Caesar to take her side. She
charmed the famous Roman, and
with his help won q Arm place on
the throne. Caesar enjoyed her
company 50 much that he stayed in
Egypt longer than he had planned.
