have, thank goodness, enough soap
and water to keep our hands clean,
which is basic.
Water should be moderately
warm and the soap well lathered.
A small medium-stiff brush helps
get off the CRIME. After the scrub
the hands should be rinsed in clear
water and thoroughly dried. Sketchy
rinsing and drying, especially
in cold weather, are responsible for
a lot of chapped and grubby hands.
Push back cutiele when drying
hands and use a small amount Of
hand lotion.
Tipping, filing and copying with
carbons and typewriter ribbons are
all pretty hard on pretty finger
tips. Every desk should have in
it basic first aid" for nails, file,
orange stick, nailbrush, hand lotion,
polish and remover for repairs.
Nail length is really up to the
individual. Slender points are not
too practical but strong nails can
be worn moderately long. The BIG
business girD often finds that she
has not enough time in which to
squeeze a manicure-home or pro-
fessional type. In this case, no
polish or clear polish, is preferable
to partially-peeled-off, dark hued
polish.
Since the beginning Of the war
more women have been doing more
things with their hands-at home,
in wartime jobs, and voluntary
services. In many cases these
hands have taken a real beating
and a good oily night cream is al
most a must for hands and cuticle.
The older woman who is also a
housekeeper often feels that her
hand problems are hard to bear
but in some ways she's in a good
spot. When hands are softened
from dishwashing, they are particu-
larly amenable to hand lotion and
cuticle shaping. The weekly mani
cure can be done faster and more
effectively at one of these times.
Work gloves for busting and
other dry-dirt jobs save the hands
a lot. The choice Of a mild soap
for household tasks is big help.
A prompt filing Of a broken nail
will prevent bigger trouble. Lemon
or peroxide is good for stains. A
pumicr may be used gently on cal
luses. If you don't wear liquid
polish keep nails well bufFed. II
nails are less than smooth it's a
good trick to buff before applying
liquid polish. Lighter polishes are
often more becoming to older hands
and easier to apply if you're not
an expert.
To help Tighten nicotine stains
on nails and fingers, mop them with
cotton moistened with cuticle re-
mover.
Be sure to have nice arms to go
along with those lovely hands.
Rough, goose-fesh skin on arms is
ugly. lnexcusable too, because it
is simple to correct. Usually, thor
ough daily scrubbing with a brush
or coarse washcloth, followed by
brisk rub with the towel and a film
Of hand lotion, is all that is needed.
For variety, try rubbing the wet
skin with a handful of salt. II the
elbow is considerably darker than
the rest of the arm, try rubbing a
piece Of lemon on it to bleach and
apply cream at night.
Take care Of your feet too. File
nails straight across with an emery
board. Battle feet or soak in Ep-
som salt solution and rinse in hot
and cold water, alternately; espe-
cially good for tired or aching feet.
Dry thoroughly, especially between

It is not often that this depart

some advice on curing civilizations
ills. But we were talking to Pete
Macias, the Lounge Riveria's pian-
ist-orchestra leader, the other night
and we feel that the suggestion he
brought forth after a lengthy dis
cussion of the general unrest is
worthy Of some circulation. We
give you Mr. Macias:

Hands acroSs-the-sea note: It is
Eddie Chase, another pianist and
conductor of the Sidney orchestra
at the Mayflower Lounge, who
comes up now with the informa-
ton that Lounge patrons may any
moment be hearing the tune called
"Matelot," from Noel Coward's
London hit. Sigh No More" Many
British guests of the Mayhower
paying guests, that Isl have been
requesting the tune, according to
Mr.. Chase, but there wasn't much
he could do about 1t until one of
the requesters obligingly turned up
with the sheet music. The ditty
is supposed to be the current hit
Of London" 1t may well be, but
at the risk Of being unfair to Mr..
Coward and the key of c, it is our
duty to report that Variety's COM
pilation of British sheet music
sales shows "Chickery Chick, !"
"Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe"
and "Ashby de Ia Zooch" far ahead
Of "Matelot," which hasn't even
made the list yet.

is little old for that sort Of thing,
judging by local standards. Nep-
tune Room patrons were startled,
for example, on a recent afternoon
when a three-year-old tot marched

be able to celebrate it with 40
shove-ups, 40 skin-the -cats, and q
gay little waltz around the room on
my hands.
But that was before I read the
findings of the medical men who
examined Joe Louis and Billy Conn
who will fight for the worlds heavy
weight championship in the Yam
kee Stadium tomorrow night. II
the passing of four or i've years
had done what 1t has to Joe and
Billy, what in the world must have
happened to me and the likes OF
me? If four years or 50 in the
Army slowed them down as much
as the medicos reported after their
thumpings and tappings and listen
ing, then haven't any right to be
alive. I must be dead and gone
right now, and be picking at q
harp instead of typewriter.
Sluggish ut 81.
Louis is only 80, but the doctors
found that his reflexes aren't up
to their old standards, that his
blood pressure wasn't quite as at
tractive as 1t used to be, that he
is sluggish, and that he tires easily.
Having seen Louis workout for
the fight, this report was triply
dismaying to me. He was light on
his feet, he worked eight rounds
without drawing a deep breath at
the finish, and his reflexes looked
right out of Tiffany window as
he slipped away from punches, and
drove his fists through split second
openings. Now what do you sup
pose the doctors would say about
me, and any of you who are around
my age. If we had undergone the
same workout Louis did, and had
then been examined? Something
like this, suppose:
This man has no refiexes. Even
after being tapped lightly on the
head and knees with hot poker, he
showed no signs Of life. His blood
pressure was TOO over $50 when he
entered the ring, and 200 over 1000
when carried out. His eyes are
rheumy, he displays pronounced
deafness in both ears, and couldn't
double for scarecrow. Fit him for
blue suit, fold his arms and take
him away"
Chest Like Beer Barrel.
Conn, too, was reported to have
showed signs Of advancing age, and
Billy. mind you, is only n going
on %. He is said to have slipped
quite bit since the time he first
fought Louis. Heaven help us, men,
II Conn is In bad shape! He has
a waist like a Confederate belle.
a chest like a barrel of beer, a full
head of hair. all his teeth, eyes that
sparkle like jewels, and skin
that CLOVIS with debutante- like
radiancy. He runs eight and ten
miles without putting even, much
less collapsing, and he bounces
around on his feet as If they were
Of prewar rubber.
I wouldn't dare let the doctor
who examined Conn take even so
much as a peek at me. Not from
as far away as 100 yards. He
wouldn't even bother to feel my
pulse, or hold a mirror over nv
mouth, before pronouncing me filled
with rigor merits.
Well, thank goodness my insur-
ance Is paid for this month, and
that was sensible enough to make
a will a few months ago, and that
all OF my affairs are in order. II
