BLACKHEADs AND PIMPLES

DA4fAN hND LES
 Young people normally or natur- ally have rather oily skin and scalp and therefore should avoid poma- des, hair oil, creams and other cos- metics containing oil. The natural skin oil (called sebum) is the best of all cosmetics, if you still have the youth to insure sufficient supply for your skin, complexion, scalp and hair. If you're little too old or prematurely old, then you'll have to fall back on artificial skin oil of one kind or another to keep up the illusion or delusion of youth as long as you can.
 For the older folk whose skin and hair are beginning to be a bit dry, dull and less beautiful some skin or scalp oil is probably needed. For yourg persons the use of any such cosmetic simply invites trouble and spells or conceals any beauty the complexion may have.
 A reasonable amount Of black heads and pimples (medically call ed acne) should oe regarded as na- tural in the middle teens and in 8 good many instances the affliction, as the boy or girl who has it is like ly to call it, is good for the youngs- ter. Just as a reasonable amount of fieaS may keep the dog from worrying about the fact that he is a dog, so blackheads and pimples keep the boy or girl from becoming too pert or conceited about the fact that he or she is youth.
 The cause of blackheads and pimples is pretty much a matter for speculation, aside from the ob- servation already made - that the activity of the sebaceous glands in the skin is greatest at puberty (age l2 to l9 years) when sexual matur- ity is reached.
 In my opinion there is no scienti- fic ground for the quaint notion, still seriously set forth by some doctors, that too much butter French fried food, pork, gravy, milk cream and other foods containing considerably oi, or fat, has some- thing to do with excessive secretion sebum (Skin on).
 Another bit Of twaddle seriously set forth by some doctors who pre- tend to know what to the rest of us is clearly a question of opinion, is that the use of iodized salt may cause acne. This theory is neatly propagated by the one-man health magazine in all article by non- medical author whose suggestions are medically approved as the slick magazine editor says. The none-medical author says many a patient has had his acne greatly improved simply by substituting plain salt for iodized salt in the family cooking" Considering there is less than half a grain of iodine in a whole pound of iodized salt and about as much in a pound of canned salmon, tuna or shrimp or in a dizen oysters, the notion that the trace of iodine in iodized salt can cause acne or any other trouble in dozen oysters, the notion that or idiosyncrasy for iodine or rather iodide is ridiculous.
 Other peculiar notions about diet and acne are equally absurd, I think. We'll discuss this further in the talk to follow.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: am school girl, 16. I need your advice desperately. For six months have been going with boy, 19, who will soon enter the Military Academy at West Point. We broke off our friendship two months ago, because ny mother-Who says he is 8 bad influence on me-had forbidden me to see or speak to him again.
 She warned she would send me away to a girls school and write to my dad, who is overseas, and tell him about Steve. if she saw us together again. However found it impossible to conforam to her wishes, as am very fond of him. So for the last six weeks I have been seeing each other at every opportunity, because he won't be here long.
 Last Sunday I was out with Steve until o'clock. I had told mother I was going to visit a girl friend. I NNAACAA 6OU llO1AAC OAlC 0AopPCO AllC and called me tramp. Steve and I are at our wits end. He doesn't like all this secrecy and lying and We aren't very happy in our present situation.
 Are we wrong2 What should we do? Should I tell mother the whole truth and hope for the best? l have 6teve,s ring, which I wear hidden from her. And he has asked me to wait for him. Should I tell her that?
 J.E. SLY ROMANCE KILLS ITSELF
 DEAR J. E.: On the one hand, a proverb says, "Ail's fair in love or war" Yet on the other hand, a romance that cannot enjoy the light of day, that reduces the par ticipants to ignominious skulking and lying, is hardly worth having.
 It is sometimes argued that the end justifles the means" And when young love meets with unsympa- youthful circumstances. Small won- thetic parental opposition dor req sons not clear) one might think that love-smitten youth and maiden could make a good case for trying to steal their way around prohibit tions.
 But the experience of mankind has proved, believe, that the gen. eral form and detail of the means employed in pursuit of anything are written large in the net results. So with you and Steve, it seems.
 Having descended to furtiye con- niyance, to snatch at crumbs of sat- isfaction when a whole loaf of com panionship was arbitrarily denied, you are progressively frittering away self-esteem and respect for each other and thus, of course, los- ing that sense of unqualified joy in association which is the best part of love,

The national championships tournament usually produces some new bidding convention. This year many players will be using the Fishbein convention against pre- emptive bidding. This is the first of series Of six articles based on the FiShbein convention.
 A weak-two bid will be used by a great many players in the na- tionals, which take place in At- iantic City, Dec. l-9. The usual number Of players will use the pre- emptive three-bid. Harry J. Fish bein and Corp. Alvin Roth, both Life Masters, have developed a weapon against these weak pre- emptive bids.
 The convention is used only when it is directly over the pre- emptive bidder. The bid of three spades by West on today's hand is actually a takeout double and asks partner to sho whis best suit. East correctly bids four spades, and thus East and West arrive at a makeable contract which they might otherwise miss.

once that is over, we can go back to normal living" We won't have that coasoling thought in 1946. WE COUNTED ON IT
 That is the time when we all counted on being established in our own homes. That is the wonderful postwar era we thought of in such glowing terms.
 Talk about your problems of re- adjustment. Now here's real one one that concerns three million families. There ought t. be a place on the best seller lists for book called not Live Alone and Like It" but Share Home and Make the Best of It."
 After all, that is exactly what three million families are going to have to do.

 We are badly prepared for living under such crowded conditions.
 For years We have had the idea instilled in us that it is every family's right to live to itself.
 And if public courtesy is a re- flection of courtesy within the home-the art of getting along with others has reached new low dur ing the past few years.
 Furthermore, the crowding we put up with during the war years could be endured with fairly good grace because we figured Its the war;

 For the sake of your character and Steve's as well, and as proof of your genuine devotion to each other, you certainly should tell your mother about the quasi-engage- ment, show her the ring, and gen. erally put yourself on record as wanting to be above board in rela- tion to Steve, if she will be open minded with you.
