At the time they indorsed their choice as pos sessing intellectual honesty leader ship, tolerance, sayoir faire, a sym pathetic understanding of youth, vision-and a sense of humor !" Could the Navy ask for more?
 With the Navy's women'S re- serve seeking a personnel for the most part with more highly skilled technical training than the Army'S WAAC's have, an educator seemed to be the logical choice as its com- manding officer.
 And since training will be done on campuses of chosen girls col leges college president should feel right at home. Furthermore, Dr. McAfee has taught and has been an administrator in mid-western CO., educational Oberlin College as well as several southern colleges and knows how to get along with girls and boys, too,-from all parts o& the country.
 The new Lieutenant Commanders youthful appearance, due to her slender build, touseled Short-bobbed hair and sparkling humorous eyes, will be an asset in her new job as 1t has been in the past. Probably as 8 result of her Presbyterian min ister fathers training, she neither drinks nor mokes, but she is ex- tremely liberal in her general so- cial outlook. She loves to golf and dance. In fact at Wellesley promS, where girl "stag" lines are the rule. President McAfee doesn't stand aloof, but always cuts right in with the rest of the girls. Incidentally the boys, from Kentucky and Ober- lin to Massachusetts, think she IS swell-so Navy gobs should be no exception.
 WHO WAS THAT
 CHARMING COED?
 One big shot, arriving late to make a dinner speech at Wellesley found himself charmingly enter tained by his feminine companion at the speakers table. After dinner when he commented to one of the faculty on having enjoyed such a nice, smart, undergraduate for partner, he was told with a laugh, "That was President McAfee

keep 1t at least inch above tops throughout processing. Place cover on canner and start counting pro- cessing time as soon as water begins to boil rapidly.
 Process peaches, whether in quart or pint jars, for IS minutes If you live in attitudes of 1000 feet or less. For higher attitudes increase the time by 20 percent for each addi- tional 1000 feet. For example, at 2000 feet, you would process fruit for IS minutes.
 When fruit is processed, remove jars from canner and set them right side up to cool. After the fruit has cooled, test each jar by turning 1t up side down for a few minutes to make certain 1t is alright and does not leak.
 You can make a satisfactory water bath canner from a large kettle or wash boiler if 1t has a tight cover. It must, of course, be large enough to hold several jars, and allow covering of them with water above the ops, at least inch, preferably 2 inches. Fit the canner with a wire rack to keep the jars of the bottom.

 Smart little girls are shaping their dresses to the times.
 Bows and braids often take the place of pins in their new vaca- tion hair styles. Watch for more of those in the back-to- school ranks, too.
 Many youngsters follows the adult trend to shorter cuts, and some toss their locks way up like mothers However, an out standing hair stylist who special izes in schoolgirl fashions tells me that most of his customers want, first of all, something Not too adult looking" They seem to know this No. rule: for young sters, teh simpler the hair-1lx the better.

He recommends soft permanent for those who cannot wear either braids or long straight hair. This permanent is really, says the expert, "a foundation for permanent" It is just sug- geStion of wave. to keep the hair well groomed instead of dangling awkwardly.
 Here is what happens when the young customer arrives at this salon to have her hair styled:
 Her hair is expertly examined Its texture: its cowlicks, if any; its sprinsiness: and the natural swirl if there is one at the hair line.

Popular Educator to Be Girl GOb's Leader
BY ELEANOR RAGsDALE

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Aug. 4.-When Navy officials, seeking a competent head for the newly-created "W. A. V. E. S." (Women Appointed for Volun- teer Emergency Service), succeeded in turing 42-year-old Dr Mildred Helen McAfee from the presidency of top-notch Wellesley College for the wartime stretch they really knew what they were doing.

Phenacetine

Daily use of phenacetine was ad- vised by physician for lumbago. It seems to give relief to the pain, but will it do any harm? (W.E.H.)
 Answer-Probably less harm than most other analgesic drugs (pain- killers). Surely the physician who knows the patients condition would be the best judge of the matter.

MANAGEMENT OF BRONCHIECTASIS

Electromagnetic youth engaged in office work says he has bronch- iectasis. Bronchiectasis specialists q dodn't know there were any) have told him (a) that he should breathe as shallowly as possible and never do any deep breathing as that will enlarge the cavities or pockets in the bronchial tubes, which as I know, fill up with pus and of course that does not help one on the road to health; and (b) to practice belly breathing regularly three times a day. When the specialists disagree the youth thinks 1t is time to ask or Doc Brady what's what. One tuberculosis specialists (yes, there are such specialists) said that "ele- vating your bed of the night is slow but sure cure". What they may mean do not know. Perhaps the specialist advised sleeping in bed with the foot elevated eight inches above the head -- to favor drainage of bronchial secretions from mouth. That, while hardly a slow cure, would be rather benefi- cial in any case of bronchiectasis, if the patient can sleep comforta- bly, with the foot of bed so raised above the level of the head of bed.
 Bronchiectasis means ballooning or dilation of bronchial tubes, one or many, associated with inflamma- tion of bronchial tubes, chronic bronchitis, recurring winter cough. Characteristic of bronchiectasis is the exDectoration of large quantities of purulent fluid having sour or fetid oder, in 8 spell of coughing usually early each morning. Per- haps the patient will cough little or none at all for the rest of the day.
 In q large proportion of cases, possibly tr1 all cases of bronchiecta- sis there is chronic sinusitis, parti- cularly maxillary sinusitis (the an- tra or sinuses in the upper jaw bone behind the cheek). Many physicians are convinced that the infection re- sponsible for the bronchial cavities or pockets or dilatations comes from the Sinuses. Hence it is im- portant to investigate the nasal si- nuses in every case of bronchiec- tasis and if sinusitis is found pres ent to treat it vigorously, especially when the bronchiectasis is not of many years standing. Bronchiecta- sis occurs in children, youths, young adults and elderly folk.
 First thing every morning one with bronchiectasis should either stand on his head for a while or lie across the bed with elbows resting on floor, to favor drainage of the nights accumulation of fluid from the bronchiectatic pockets or cavi- ties and its expulsion with a hearty spell of coughing.
 Not forced breathing, not deep breathing but natural belly breath ing should be practiced regularly several times day.
 Every patient with bronchiecta- sis should see that his or her cal- cium intake and utilization is opti- nal. Send stamped envelope bear ing your address, and ask for pamphlet "The Calcium Shortage. Inclose six cents extra if you want also the pamphlet "Belly Breath ing".
 X-ray treatments have brought marked improvement in many cases of bronchiectasis.
