Victor Mature in Hospital,
Suffers Primrose POISONING
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 5-Victor
Mature is in Cedars of Lebanon Hos
pital suffering from primrose rash
poisoning. DR.. Webb Marker said
the actor would be confined four or
five days.
Mature probably contracted the
poisoning when he was dumped into
some bushes during the shooting of
a scene in a new film, DR.. Marker
said.
Mature, playing the part of an
assistant to a pitch man who de-
frauds crowd, is seized by the mob
and tarred-lamp black and cold
cream-and feathered, then ridden
out of town on a rail and tossed into
the bushes.
The actor, whose arms, legs and
back are badly swollen, said Il

where about the first thing mother
asked was, Are you taking any
one TO the dance next week?' The
youth shrugged his shoulders. Il
don't know haven't made up my
mind"
At this mother turned to the
boys uncle laughing. "Tommy's
worried about his dancing" she
said. Il believe I'm the only girl
he has ever danced with" Instead
of making light Of the boys pre-
dicament, Uncle asked him. isn't
there some girl who you know very
well, some girl you can dance with
for practice?" There's Dolly next
door" Tommy offered. Good!
Then why not invite her to the
dance and get her TO practice
with you all week SO you two
really can go to town dance
night"
Tommy followed uncle's advice
and had a wonderful time. Most
adolescent's feel shy IN the pres
ence of the opposite sex. At this
stage of growth the interest which
boys and girls feel in each other is
mingled with a strong desire TO be
attractive. a good dancer, good
mixer and, in general, admired.
Naturally they have many social
difficulties which the sympathetic
adult is in a position to help them
overcome with constructive advice.
Every adolescent who is having
boy or girl trouble isn't as out
spoken as Tommy. Sensitive and
brooding, he is apt to hide his true
feelings from groWn-ups for fear
Of being laughed at. BY using i'm
agination and tact parents can
keep the child's confidence at this
stage. Never tease a child about an
interest in girls, his changing voice,
the size of his hands and feet or
the poor condition Of his skin. This
only tends to increase sense OF
inferiority, and may altogether
discourage a child from trying to
make satisfactory social and per-
sonality adjustments. And no par
ent wants that to happen.

Sailors and Suits
Go Toget Their
This Spring
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-Suits escorted by
~ sailors usually head the spring
parade and this spring finds
greater variety in both. Women
always want at least one sailor
hat per year, and few are content
with one. There are big and little
sailors, straight and silly ones;
Bretons, the brimS turning up.
Spanish sailors and just sailors.
Time was when a band was
enough, but now sailors serve as a
base for flowers and ribbons, as
an anchorage for bows and a rest
ing place for wings, to all of which
wells are added. Since wells are
colored, they may be changed ad
lib. What's more, hats are SO de-
signed that they may be worn fore
or aft, straight or aWry-the same
hat. that is TO say.
The tricorn is one of the types
venturing back after a long alb
sence. Matrons welcome its return
since 1t is usually worn tilted over
one eye. an angle that does things,
as we say, for older women. In
fact. come to think of it. the mil
linery mood is kind to the women
who need TO be dealt with kindly.
Colored hats are friendly to her
and so are wells and flowers. Even
rather frivolous hats are now worn
with suits. FedoraS can be frivol-
Gus and they are a favored type.
Pleated skirts deserve a word
and while one is none too happy
over the stocking outlook, there is
no indication Of lengthening skirts.
Shoes, more ornamental and un-
usual than in years, promise TO
steal the show. One is expected TO
be so agog over shoes that the stock
ings that step out with them will
pass unnoticed, unless we all quite
suddenly get a yen for cottons and
mesh novelties. Lots Of green and
red shoes. and don't forget this
please for it's important.

Fashions for Men

IRON what we hear from Amer
lean manufacturer of mate
rails for mems neCkties, We can't
see how the stoppage Of silk will
have any noticeable effect on the
tie p oblem.
Ben THESE, a leading manufac-
tur1r. says, Il guess We saw Pearl
Harbor long before II came, and
We worked far ahead on improv-
ing rayons and syntheticS. Within
the last year, should say we have
made ten years progress"
His firm does everything on the
material, from creating the de-
signs TO weaving finishing, print
ing, dyeing and all the rest. We
were shown piece after piece OF
necktie silk" and not one had
thread Of real silk In It. Actually,
you couldn I tell the difference be-
tween genuine gum twill foulard
and an all-rayon gum twill.
We've used and invented every
known technique and material to
achieve these effects. and we've
succeeded. The substitutes tend to
wrinkle a trifle more than real
silk, but We expect shortly TO lick
that SO that they will be even bet
ter than silk" THESE said.
Most astonishing are the gum
twill foulards, which are exactly
like the original article. Poplin is
woven out OF rayon and IS per
cent vorsted and you can't tell the
difference. jacquard effects, bro
cades. moires. spitalf1elds - any,

A marvellous grenadine effect

1t is, Nylon will SO outmode silk,
we shall probably never need a

At Pioneer, we looked at Sus-
penders which are now being made
without elastic, save for a short
piece in the back. They are poplin
webs in ribbed effects and are iust
as rich and good looking as the
others were. and Just as comfort
able. The cotton web. French style
gallus, has always seemed to us far
more comfortable than the elastic
variety. THIS is not to make men
feel better, but really the use OF
elastic IN a suspender is an Illusion

Chinese Author

In America
BY TALBOT LAKE

HELENA KUO is a slim, dark
1 eyed and attractive 28year-
old Chinese authoreSs and news
paperwoman who used TO write an
equivalent Of Mrs. Roosevelt's MY

Chinese women how TO mind then

how TO decorate the home and
themselves. There was also a little
box in the corner Of the paper
where she let off her personal
steam. For all this Miss Kuo got
little less than SIS day.

Factionalism and hatred be-
tween races and groups in this

Miss Kuo has been In this country

Is left to her own devices, stay at
home alone, or have some OF her
cronies In, or do whatever she feels
like doing.
It's absurd to expect ones friends
TO feel they must ask both in order
to get one It is also absurd for any,
ones feelings to be hurt, since the
privilege works impartially.
Business women who are apart
all day and have individual friends
and dates. manage to get along
much better than two women who
are forever in each others way.
Many a perfectly devoted wife
will tell you that having her hus-
band around the house all day
would drive her mad. II this Is so,
which most women will Concede,
how on earth can two women be
expected to tolerate each other
without having the relief OF outside
interests?
Life together can only be endured
when both women have the intelli-
gence to understand the necessity
for individual action. In many
modern households husband and
wife feel free to accept individual
invitations. Unfortunately. many
couples find it difficult TO accept the
old friends, or for that matter the
new friends, of either.
When She's Away
Tactful wives find 1t works out
very we'll when they can see during
the day or on such occasions as hus-
bands are engaged elsewhere. those
persons husbands find dull. They
soon learn the absurdity Of thrust
ing undesirable people at their hus-
bands heads and the wisdom of
seeing them when the husbands
are around.
It isn't, however, mutual &C
quaintances that constitute the
major problem Of two women shar-
ing a home. It's their carelessness
in planning and their lack of adj
herence to whatever plans they did
for it. should be thoroughly under
stood and respected. Interference
make. The work, or responsibility
into the particular field assigned
should be avoided.
One assumes that in the begin
ming the household arrangements
have been gone into so that each
one knows just what and how much
Is expected Of her. Obviously, it is
up TO each to do her part or. if that
proves impossible, to make the nee
eSsary adjustments. Because little
things are so important TO women,
It's often a very little thing that
causes trouble between them and
disrupts living arrangement that
from the viewpoint of essentials
was good one.
Initiating men, as We seem to en-
Joy doing. why not copy their re-
spect for each others freedom?

A coon TIP

Hollywood, Cal.-Ann Sheridan
offers this excellent beauty tip for
girls with large teeth. She has
learned through years of makeup
that balance and harmony of fea-
lures are the things TO seek when
applying your makeup. Conse-
quently, II a person has large teeth,
a thin line of mouth would serve
as emphasis to the size OF the
teeth. 1t follows, then. that If you
make a mouth UP larger, 1t will
give the illusion Of your teeth be-
ing absolutely normal In size.

Butter bread well for a moist

round worms!
Tropical Fellow
But 1t didn't seem to be the
usual designation Of the round
worm with which ! was familiar.
I picked up an old book which
said this term was applied to a
rare condition and was confined
TO the tropics. Then l searched
for more recent information. This
disclosed that strongyloideS is a
common disease in the tropics, also
in our southern states and not un-
common In the north.
Mrs. H. is middle aged. She had
consulted two physicians. One said
it was incurable, the other said 1t
could be cured. She has not been
cured and now she turns to this
column. The "strongyloides ster-
cordis"-the name is much longer
than the worms round worm
which lives under the mucous
membrane OF the sma8 intestine.
It enters the body through the
skin. much like the hookworm.
For a long time this worm was
thought to be the cause OF Cochin
China diarrhea, but it is often not
found In that disease.
II larvae come In contact with
the skin, they burrow under the
outer layer, causing rednesS and
intense irritation at the point of
entrance. This is soon followed by
a peculiar irritable condition Of the
intestines, in which the slightest
laxative causes severe diarrhea and
even prostration.
Later there are frequent move
ments, without pain or collie. This
stage is soon followed by extreme
nervous irritation. loss Of flesh.
sick stomach. vertigo and general
weakness.
Dirt Workers Menaced
This worm is not a blood sucker
to the extent that a hookworm is.
Hence 1t does not cause such dras-
tic results, but IL creates a serious
condition. The same attention has
not been given to ii as to the hook
worm. AS 1t enters through the
skin, those who go barefoot or
work In the soil with their hands,
particularly when animal fertilizer
is used. are in danger of infection.
Former methods OF treatment
were by the administration Of thy
mol or male fern. But those drugs
are not entirely safe TO use. It is
probable that carbon tetrachloride,
