q
 strike extending over even a week is one that ought to get results. For after a few days of having the kids underfoot mothers would say tc fathers, '"Those teachers are worth whatever they say they are"
 It would probably take Q strike in most communities to make par ents realize just what teachers are paid-and what they are worth, just for keeping children out of mischief and out of the way for six or seven hours 6 day. School teachers are completely taken for granted by most parents.
 They wouldn't be if the parents fathers aS well as mothers-visited their kids classrooms occasionally. l spent Q day recently watching 8 flrst-grade teacher handle room- full of children at the pushing, showing, wriggling age. And the way she handled them seemed like a modern miracle.
 SKILLED SPECIALISTS
 Spelling became a game; reading became fun. Never was child made to feel stupid or disgraced-- as once SO often happened in school. And the business of the day, for all its seeming leiSureliness, moved ahead like cloclework.
 No parent watching good teach- CT ct work today could possibly deny that teachers are specialists who earn and ought to receive specialists pay.
 Yet the salary of the teacher is shockingly low. In one city re- gently, school janitors went on strike for higher wages and won their degnands-even though they were already getting more than many Of the city's teachers.
 If 1t takes a strike for teachers to get what Is coming to them, let 'ern strike. If they hold out long enough, they're bound to win.

 In a symposium on the use anC abuse of rest in the treatment o1 various medical, surgical, ohstertri' cal and neuropsychiatric conditions Dr. Karl Menninger, of Topeka Kansas, said in part:
 "Dr. Weir Mitchell's prestige, influence and persuasiveness were such that his rest cure for the treatment of netlroSeS influenced American medicine for hfty years The fatigue theory of the neuroseS which 50 impressed Weir Mitche ] Diagnoses fatigue, ous exhaustion, nervous fatigue, fatigue neuroseS, nervous break down from overwork, nervous weakness, nerraSthenia and 30 on continued to ill the records of hospitals, clinics and private practitioners. Treatment based on these diagnoses and Weir Nit chell'S example were (sic) de- veloped, expoited and populariz- ed-modified rest cures, relaxa- tion treatment, vacation treat ment'-sending patients away on visits to California, Florida, Eu- rope, or on fishing trips, hunting expeditions and the like.
 Modern psychiatry regards ttAs conception of neurosis and these forms of treatment for neuroses as entirely false in theory and unsound in practice treat ment which Is not only futile and expensive but very often definitely harmful.
 I have been driving at that same ideas here for years. But let Dr, Menninger continue-he has a good sound positive suggestion for every poor geek who imagines his trouble Is weak nerves or nervous exhaus- ton.
 The nerurosis and psychoses. are result of miSdirected en- ergy rather than the lack of sui f1clent energy |.

Treat Skin Like Hothouse Plant
BY ALICIA HART MIA etaM Writer

You need to give your skin some thoughtful care if it's to look like a hothouse plant after taking win- ter.s alI-out attack.
 Because that kind of care is re- quired of Hollywood stars even expert makeup can't hide a leathery look from the cameras searching eye-yoli can't 60 wrong in following their routine.
 You know the creaming routine. It's just like your own; one for eInollient oils = for buttering up. What you probably overlook = but Hollywood doesn't = is that the skin Is sensitive plant which needs water.
 Stars boast that they drink eight glasses a day. They will tell- you, too, that there's no Vi- tanniIl A deficiency in their diet. When the California sun supply Vitarnin D deposits, the girls use ultraviolet lamps, figuring wisely that anything which fights off winter depletion of their systems is a help to their skins.

 The too-short figure, allegedly as dwarfted by a suit jacket as Alice-in-W Netherlands cake, can be made to look taller than 1t actually is by vertically-striped suit. By forcing the eye to travel long lines up and down, the illusion of more height is put across.
 As good a trick, as this, and less obvious, is dark suit with a bright yoke or V-inSerts of color. Placed this high on the suit, as point of focus, color has the effect of lengthening the distance for the tTaveling eye.

The resolution also stated that
practical safeguards such as inspec-
ton and control are necessary In
any disarmament scheme. This was
in line with the original American
insistence that the veto must not
apply to atomic energy control. A
spokesman said the American OBJ

Russia told the committee yester-
day that It's proposal would place
the system Of international inspec-
ton and control which Russia ad-
vocates under the framework OF the
Security Council, in which Russia
China, Britain, France and the
United States hold the right OF
veto.
Thus the effect would be that
any of these five powers could veto
any proposed inspection of its ter
ritory or any control measures the
Council might seek to apply.
