Explosions OFF Portugal

LISBON, Oct. 15.- Explosions at
sea shook buildings and shattered
windows yesterday afternoon on
Cape Roca, westernmost point of
Portugal-and Europe-tending to
bear out earlier reports, still with
out confirmation. Of a naval battle
in the Atlantic off Portugal.
What actually happened at sea
could not be seen from the shore,
owing to poor visibility, but the
action evidently was close by. Cape

DR.. McCarrol|
Speaks To


(ANPO- Speaking
before the National Negro House
wives league in session during the
business league meeting here last
week. DR.. E. Mae McCarroll bril-
liant young Negro physician, now
serving as acting-medical consul
tant for the Planned Parenthood
federation, told the assemblage:
NEGRO business men and women
know that race sterilization and
progressive order depend upon a
position relationship between re-
production, health, culture and
social ideals. Planned parenthood
is one of the most important
factors in attaining this goal.
Scientific knowledge for child
spacing is available to those who
are able to go to private doctors
but is not equally available to poor
er people.
The death rate for Negro
mothers IS SO per cent higher than
that Of white mothers and "a per
cent higher than the national
average. The sickness rate is 43 per
cent greater, the length Of life
is II years shorter. Negro mothers
die twice the rate of white
mothers; Negro babies die at l 1-2
times the rate of white babies; Ne
gro children show a SO per cent
higher death rate.
When in 1884 the children's
bureau of the labor department
published report comparing the
maternal death rate of our coun-
try with that of 16 other coun-
tries and it was revealed that our
country's death rate was higher,
America got busy and did some
thing about it. When in 1885 South
Carolina found herself in the un-
pleasant position of having the
highest maternal mortality of any
state in the union South Carolina
did something about that and
achieved a substantial reduction.
''The Negro maternal death rate
mortality rate is 80 per 10000 live
births that of white women is d
per 10000 live births. What are we
going to do about it? We know that
Is per cent of our maternal deaths
ocur in women with diseases which
contra-indicate pregnancy. Family
planning can prevent these. 1t can
prevent much invalidism and
chronic sickness in women pro-
duced by too frequent pregnancies
it can reduce the blighting effects
of poverty by keeping the size Of
the family in keeping with the
family income, it can reduce infant
mortality by enabling mothers to
space their children at two or
three year intervals, it can reduce
the spread of venereal and other
diseases by making it possible for
parents with transmissible diseases
to avoid having children until
| they are cured"

also bring about a better under

In accepting the appointment,
Mrs. Motion pointed out that

1T is up TO everyone Of us to
see that high standards of health
are maintained and to learn to
care not only for ourselves but for
our families and even our neigh

doctors orders we can relieve
many of our nurses for srvice with
the armed forces. BY keeping well
we make it possible for more of
our doctors to serve their country
where they are needed most Every

ThumbsDown
On Elaborate
Coiffures
BY HELEN JAMESON
Distributed by King Features
Syndicate, Incl

AS BELTS the times, beautifying
is a practical basis. We're paying
more attention to physical educa-
ton than ever before, because only
a healthy nation is fit for the
fight. Drug store compilations are
doing a fadeaway. Rouge pads are
getting lost in the cosmetic shuttle.
We're still hanging onto our lip
sticks and nail polish because they
do something to boost morale.
They make one appear more vivid,
help one to master wartime worries.
For the past several years hair
stylists have been designing grand
and complicated coiffures. The
cash customers fell for them, es-
pecially those pretty ladies who
dashed around from party to party.
The same pretty ladies are dashing
round SO much during the day,
taking on man-siZed jobs, that
the idea of wrestling with a mop
of hair that has to go just so so,
strand by strand, is enough to
make them cave in. The result?
The neatest, trimmest, SlickeSt
hairdo that ever graced the noble
bates of the Sisterhood.
Everything these days must be
utilitarian-frocks of simple de-
sign, millinery that makes sense,
shoes that permit a foothold and
9r~aY
practical, comfortable and a treat
to the eye.
A top-notch, enduring perman-
ent is time saver when it comes
to putting the feminine halo in
form. If you have found cap
able, conscientious operator who
won't rush you through the hair
setting session, you are lucky.
Hang onto the paragon who puts
lovely spirals in your tresses. A
firm wave means that fluctuations
and ringlet curls will stay strong
from shampoo to shampoo, and
that's the way it should be. Brain
wool should stand brushing, any
amount of combing. If your finger
wave goes into a faint in a few
days, Scuttle around to another
beauty shop where you may have
better luck, get more satisfactory
attention.
The short cut came in with
Women's uniforms; it is beloved by
all. The Young Things are hanging
onto their pigtail material, and
that's fair enough. Long bobs look
sweet on them. they never were
suitable for older women, especial
ly those who fare forth to the
business marts.
Though the couture must be-
long to the moment, conform to
the mode, it can carry the indivi-
dual touch if it does not look
fussy. Many women are clever
at plotting their oun designs a
curl here or roll there where it
will do the most good.
There is one advantage in the
short cut. You don't have to ar
range it in curls or rolls unless
you desire. You can run the comb
through it, let the ringleted ends
fall where they may.
Curly bangs are a welcome
change. The inverted pompadour
is going strong.
