History Repeated

Perhaps you don't remember
how black silk stockings. once the
cream Of the crop. went out with
q rush. Women who were stocked
UP on lovely black chiffon hose. or
lacy "openworks." just dismissed
them from their m n d S and
dumped them on some poor. un.
suspecting relative who wasn't
style-conscious. and dashed out to
lay In q supply Of nude. flesh and
beige and all the new shades.
History Is going 70 repeat itself.
Even now black silk stockings are
being worn again. just for vari-
ety's sake, but more to show that
women are adaptable and willing
to take up with something new. As
q matter Of fact, considering how
much silk stockings cost, the
shortage comes as o blessing In
disguise to the poor working girl.
Now comes q new threat-that
Of Q corset shortage, not because
the army Is going to wear 'em. but
because Of the rubber elastic and
such employed In their construc-
ton. Are corsets q vital necessity?
Some say they are an uplift, not
only Of sagging lines but Of q sag.
cling morale. Others say no: sttn
backbone Is what women need and
should acquire. It depends entirely
on the individual whether or not
such things as silk hosiery and
foundation garments are essential
or non-essential.

This proWdent system cannot be

Silk stockings, too. are boarded.
There never was anything more

count on silk stockings lasting any
longer in ones bureau drawer

learned to their dismay that care

been able to stand service any

disintegrated, which certainly isn't

ones which catch In the cystic

seen one stone large enough to AL

The diagnosis can be confirmed
BY swallowing q purple dye, which
passes into the gall bladder by way
Of the liver. The function Of the
liver is to concentrate bile. This
concentration also affects the dye
and by the use Of the X-ray, one
can see the dye on the stones. BY

manifestations OF the disease ap-

It is between the years Of six
and seven that most children be.
gin to wash their own faces and
hands. to battle and brush their
hair. This Is such q relief to moth
er or nurse In many cases, that
aside from an occasional check-up
or scrubbing. the child Is left
pretty much to his own devices. A
six or ten-year-old cannot get
himself thoroughly clean. says the
expert. In addition to this, he is
constantly putting grubby hands
to his face or mouth and so
spreads dirt. oil and infection.
Rashes or scaliness may appear.
but mother may attribute 1t to .
tummy upset or chapping and
rarely gives 1t special attention.
Care Starts Early

soaps. is oiled and powdered every
day. This gentle, thorough treat
ment should continue through the
fodder stage. Later on the daily
shampoo will be discontinued, but
the hair needs constant brushing
and frequent shampoos to keep
the scalp healthy and clean. There
must be q complete Soapy bath
every day.
Soapsuds should be used for
for washing tho child's hands and
face as often as necessary during
the day. This Is followed by q

smooth and stimulated. After try

those who claim their skins are

Diet Often to Blame
Children's skins need lubrica-
ton. the expert insists, not only
in the winter or summer, but all
the time. She prefers q very light
cream to q lotion, and suggests
that 1t be used after the child
comes In from play and again Just
before the evening bath. Small
hands need fabrication with lotion
or cream after each scrubbing.
When any abnormal skin condi-
ton shows itself In spite Of this
regular care, study the diet. The
authority tries to find out the
child's likes and dislikes. then
builds exciting. yet balanced
menus around the "likes." There
is often too much monotony In

suit there Is rebellion and q def

Russian Genius
Designed Our
Best Plane
BY TALBOT LAKE

THERE are many men, not In
1 uniform. whose work is just as
important as those who wear
them. We refer to the technicians
and engineers who plan the en-
gines of destruction that will win
this war.
One of these unsung techni-
clans Is Alexander Kartveli, vice
president and chief engineer of
the Republic Aviation Company.
who designed the famous Repub-
lie PAT. high altitude fighter
plane Of the U. S. Army, that has
been called the most powerful
single-engined airplane in the
world.
Kartveli has also designed such
other military planes as BT-8 ba-
sic trainer, the Piss pursuit, the
XP-4l pursuit, and the P-43 pur-
suit. first modern pursuit plane to
use to full advantage the turbo-
supercharger to make 1t q potent
high altitude fighter. All Of which
Is quite an engineering mouthful
to readers unaccustomed to such
lingo.
Like so many aviation experts,
Kartveli is a Russian who has be.
come an American citizen. He
studied in France in various tech.
nical schools and got his engineer
ing education before he came to
this country. Kartveli has been
here since 1927. when he became
associated with Fokker Aircraft.
In 1881 he went to Republic. He
has specialized in the designing Of
amphibian and pursuit planes and
has produced the fastest and
highest flying planes of that type
in the business. His PAT, which Is
now going into large-scale produc-
ton, Is his masterpiece and will be
q great headache to the Axis.
Kartveli's entrance into the
aeronautical field was the result
OF his service in World War I.
After serving as an artillery ON
Ger in the Russian Imperial Army,
he was able to visualize the ire
potentialities Of the air.
plane in wars yet to come.
It was strict adherence to his
early beliefs that brought about
the design Of the Republic PAT
Thunderbolt. 1t is powered by
2 600 horsepower "a d ial engine
ard has q four-blade propeller.
The PAT Is heavily armored and
with both small and large
caliber guns.
