PREVENTING SUNBURN

Consumers Union technicians tested 49 different sunburn pre- ventivc preparations sold in drug and department stores and found that more than half of them could be relied upon to keep the burn- producing ultra violet rays of sum- light from reaching the skin. GU warns, however, that all of the sum- burn preventive creams and lotions must be applied carefully to be sure that all exposed areas of the skin are covered. Furthermore, since the preventives will not stand up under water and precipitation, for maximum protection it is neces- sary to reapply the preventive at intervals of an hour or so.
 Both laboratory and actual use tests showed the following sunburn proven tives to be effective and among the least expensive of the brands tested. Gaby Suntan Lotion, soc for four ounces, Skol, 7oc for 6A ounces and Noxzema's Suntan Lotion, 39c for three ounces.
 THE PROBLEM OF MENOPAUSE
 Many of the facts about menopause are generally misunderstood and this misunderstanding causes great deal of needless unhappiness, says Dr.. Harold Aaron, Consumers Union medical consultant, in an article on the subject of menopause in Con- sumer Reports.
 While the precise cause of many of the symptoms accompanying the menopause is not known, doctors have learned how to relieve some symptoms, Dr. Aaron points out. He continues: ''Most of the symptoms accompanying the menopause fall into two main groups 'vasOmOtOr' symptoms and nervous symptoms. The former include fushes, sweats, paIpitation, dizziness or faintness and some types of headaches. The latter include emotional irritability, anxiety, weakness, depression, etc.
 ''Natural and synthetic estrogen hormOnes can relieve much or all of the vasomotor symptoms. The skilled administration of 'stilbe- strol' or of some other estrOgen hormone has brought new courage and hope to many middle-aged women. While proper medical supervision is necessary to avoid some of the temporary i'll effects that occasionally occur with the ad- ministration of hormones, there is no justification for, the fear of cancer as the consequence of the prolonged use of estrogen hOr- mones.
 "The beneficial effects of estroger can be obtained from small doses oi stilbestol, taken by mouth. Injection methods are becoming more and more unnecessary; there is no proof that they have any advantage over the cheaper synthetic tablets of stilbestol However, the psychological value o1 injections for some women cannot be denied. :"
 CICARET MAKERS
 Consumers Union tests of many types and brands of cigaret makers showed that good cigarets can be made at home. Those who still cant find enough cigarets for their needs or who like to experiment with differ ent kinds of tobacco, can now get simple and inexpensive cigaret makers for home use.
 Whether you will save money by making your own cigarets depends on your tastes in tobacco. The price of cigaret tobacco runs. The a few cents to about 4Oc an ounce. Since a standard pack of cigarets contains about an ounce of tobacco,

1914 that expenditure had risen to $700.
 ''In the group earning $1,000 to $3,000 year, large families also face an especially serious problem because of food costs. In this group the out lay for food increased about 16 per cent from 1942 through the fall of 1914.

fortune and ingenuity of modern
motion picture maker. The IbSen
item, thus OBVIOUSLY to get around
to it, is Peer Gynt" and we think
its revival will please Catholic U.
audiences not merely for its
bravado, but for its excellence as
a piece of Zestful drama. The large
cast, under the direction of Walter
Kerr and inspired by Ralph Browns
resourceful settings, clearly is con-
vinced that anything Ibsen could
imagine, it can interpret. Its own
conviction is communicated to you
quite intact
AS in the case of other groups
which have undertaken Peer
Gynt," the university's players have
been compelled to make a choice of
their angle of attack upon the play.
They have chosen to follow the story
line, the straightforward account of
a dramatic fellow who tried to live
the grand illusion that the world
was his oyster In the unfoldment of
the tragedy of this viewpoint, of
Peers debasement in world which
makes selfishness ridiculous, the
production takes on timeliness
that the author could hardly have
anticipated. C. u, of course, could
have done so and did.
1t is not to be deduced that this
production of Peer Gynt" is the
one which, at long last, merits the
description, terse. Terse Ibsen is
patiently impossible, but this one
moves at tempo that makes you
less than usually mindful that the
master was quite verbose fellow
and not above reiterating his points
to make sure they were not left OBJ
scure. To help along the sense of
more celeritous movment, the mu-
sical accompaniment has even de-
serted the conventional Grieg in
favor of Shostakovich. The de-
partures are intermittent, of course,
but their effect is admirable.
The university theater's Peer
Gynt" is fortunate to possess Peer
of the caliber of Whit Vernon, long
absent from c. U. casts on military
duty. He is an actor capable of en-
comprising Ibsen's hero, not quite
all of him, perhaps, but enough to
make the portrait one of the sea-
sons more notable ones There are
an amazing variety of lights and
shadows to be caught in Peers dra-
matte adventure, his boundless
his strength, his charm,
his artfulness in defeat, his periodic
plunges into despair and his final
tragic awareness that his dream was
