Overweight Aggravated by
Worry and Fear, Doctor Says

Overweight is aggravated by emo
tional tensions, such as worry, fear
or insecurity, which lead to an in
creased intake of food, according to
DR.. S. Charles Freed of San Fran
cisco, who questions the belief that
obesity results from glandular dis
turbance.
Writing in the Journal of the
American Medical association, DR..
Freed deplores the fact that "over-
weight is discussed only occasion
ally, and education of the public in
this regard is sadly neglected, al
though the prevention or treatment
of obesity has far greater benefit
in increasing the life span and COM
batting degenerative changes than
that Of practically any other disease
or distinction.
He states that "while there might
be doubt as to the shortening of life
by such factors as smoking, tobacco,
alcohol and exercise, there is unani-
nous agreement of all authorities
that overweight has a decided ef-
feet on decreasing the span of life.
Statistics overwhelmingly show that
overweight not only results in an in
creased death rate but also is re-
sponsible for the earlier develop
ment of cardiovascular-ren (per-
tanning to the heart, blood vessels
and kidney diseases, diabetes and
even cancer"

LIST Essentials for Handy
Homemade First.Aid Kit

A homemade first aid kit contain
ing the essential medications and
drugs may serve just as well as the
more costly prepared first aid kits.
A tight box, preferably of metal and
similar to small cash box or fish,
ing tackle box will serve as
suitable container for the kit.
Minimum requirements for the
Kit include rolls of adhesive tape of
varying widths; sterile cotton,
swabs and sticks; sterile white
cloth for large bandages and tourni-
1uets; matches; ointment for
burns; tincture of iodine; boric
acid; tincture of merthiolate: tinc-
ure of benzoin: liquid green soap;
and rubbing alcohol.
The following specific suggestions
lor treatment are given:
For bruises and scratches and
after removal of splinters, apply an
antiseptic, then sterile bandage.
For puncture wounds-deep sliv-
ers or nail punctures-apply tine
ture of merthiolate, bandage wound
and 60 to a doctor.
For small cuts-cleanse skin
around the cut with liquid green
soap or benzine, then cleanse skin
with alcohol and apply an antiseptic
to the cut with clean applicator.

Temporary Dentures Eliminate
Long Wait for New Plates

Nearly every person today can
have artificial dentures immediate
ly after he has had his natural teeth
extracted, it is reported in the Jour-
nal of the American Medical asso-
citation. No longer is it necessary
for the average person to go through
the embarrassment of appearing in
public without teeth while his per-
manent dentures are being pre-
pared, according to an article by
DR.. Frank c. Hughes, professor of
prosthetic dentistry at Indiana uni
versity, Indianapolis.
AS matter OF fact, DR.. Hughes
pointed out, the dental process of in
stalling immediate dentures is so ef-
fective from an appearance stand
point that no one outside the
immediate family need ever know
about the patients false teeth.
1.-The old practice of extracting
the teeth and telling the patient to
go into seclusion and come back
next fall for dentures' is all but OBJ
solete," DR.. Hughes said. In addi-
tion to eliminating the emSarrass-
ment of a long edentulous (tooth-
less) period, immediate dentures act
as a splfnt which promotes faster
healing and eliminates considerable
pain, he said.

Baking Pan

Cookery scientists say that -four
ing the pan after greasing is added
insurance against sticking, but has
the disadvantage of forming a slight
extra crust which many cooks dis
like. AS for waxed or creased pa
per lining, used to protect against
scorching or sticking to the pan, un-
less it is pulled off Immediately after
baking it may stick to the baked
food. Creased pans with no -four
or paper are recommended for quick
breads and yeast breads. Heavy
unglazed paper is suggested for rich
mixtures like fruit cake which burn
easily and need long, slow baking.
For cake baking the bottom of the
pan only should be prepared. The
sides are left plain without greasing
so that the batter can cling as it
rises and thus help keep the cake
light in texture. Sponge cakes and
angel food are exceptions to this gen.
eral rule. They are baked in plain
pans-no greasing, no Touring and
no paper.

Freezing Rolls

If you plan to freeze rolls ahead
Of time for party or for unex-
pected company, it's better to
freeze the shaped rolls rather than
to freeze the dough in a large ball
or in a sheet, according to DR.. Faith
Fenton, who has conducted re-
search on frozen cooked foods at
Cornell. She reports that some of
the frozen unbaked rolls used in
their experiments were excellent
after eight weeks storage. AS to
whether the rolls should be allowed
to rise or not to rise, DR.. Fenton
says that fully-risen rolls that were
thawed before they were baked
tended to lose volume and fiatten
out during thawing. The half-risen
rolls did not rise completely and
also f1attened out and had a coarse
texture. The rolls frozen before
rising were excellent when all pre-
cautions were used. These included
keeping the rising period to mini
mum and not storing the rolls too
long.

According to the nations watch
repairmen, the curse of an ailing
watch is a woman's purse. The
reason why women have at least
twice as much trouble with their
watches as men, according to sur
vey by the Jewelry Industry coun-
Gil, is that men don't have purses
in which to cache their watches. Of
course, it isn't the purse itself, its
what's in the purse.
When a watch repairman opens a
woman's watch he does it with
mingled horror and fascination,
wondering what the watch's innards
will reveal this time. Usually a
woman is surprised when he tells
her that the delicate mechanism is
covered with a green residue from
the perfume in her purse. She
doesn't see how it's possible; the
case on her watch is drum-tight.
However, tight as the watch case
fits, the volatile oils of the perfume
she carries In her purse often get
into the watch as vapors and con-
geal on the moving parts.
It's also difficult to try to explain
how face powder, tobacco dust and
divers other substances manage to
get into her watch and clog the
works.

Hotbed Seed

Seeds may be sown in hotbeds or
cold frames to furnish plants for
early garden crops. You can save
several weeks by growing them in
this way. Hotbed soil should be free
of disease and weed seeds. Soil
should be of texture which will al
low good termination and will not
crust or bake. The soil should be
firmed over the seed. This allows
better ventilation, easier pulling of
plants, root pruning, and the control
of "damping-off" and some other
diseases by allowing stirring of the
soil between the rows. Watering
should be done not too often, but
thoroughly enough to wet about
three or four inches of soil. Venti-
lation should be given on warm
bright days to keep the plants
stocky. Such plants as cabbage can
be hardened off by leaving the COW
ers off at nights when there is no
danger of frost. Tomatoes, pep
pers and eggplant should not be ex-
posed to as much cold as cabbage.

Cleaning Mirrors

Special care must be taken in
cleaning mirrors, not only to keep
the glass clear but also to preserve
the silver coating on the back. Home
improvement specialists advise wip-
ing the glass with a cloth moist
ened with water containing a little
vinegar or ammonia, and then dry
ing with soft, clean, lint-free cloth.
Avoid soap because it streaks glass.
Take care that no water runs down
between the frame and the glass;
or gets on the back of the mirror.
Water damages the silver covering
on the back. The wooden frame on
a mirror may be cleaned by wiping
it off with a soft cloth wrung out in
mild soapsuds, then wiping it with
a cloth dampened in clear water.
and finally drying it with a clean,
soft cloth.

Pigment Bleach

Take a peek at her beak. say
poultry specialists, in discussing
pigment-bleaching as a dependable
method of determining the laying
ability of hens. In all yellow-skinned
breeds, the pullets will have an
abundance of yellow pigment in the
skin of the shanks, feet. beak. vent,
and eye ring before they start lay
ing eggs. This yellow pigment
comes from the feed that the birds
eat; yellow corn and green feed are
chief sources of this pigment. Once
pullet starts laying, however, this
yellow pigment goes to the yolk of
the egg rather than being deposited
in the skin. This means that as the
pullet continues to lay, her skin is
gradually bleached.

Popular House Plant

Although the geranium is the
most common of all house plants,
Il is perhaps the hardest one to
grow well because ii requires
rather cool temperature and likes
a moist humid tmosphere-some-
Thing that can hardly be obtained
in the average home. Horticulture
ally, the various geraniums can be
divided into four general classes.
First are the zonal or bedding
types. These include practically all
Of the single or double geraniums
grown in the house. The second
group includes the Ivy-leaved GER
anium. This is weak and stragg-
ling plant and is used mostly in
vases and for hanging baskets.
Third, comes the show, or fancy
type, known as Lady Washington
geranium. Housewives have had far
more trouble in making the Lady
Washington types grow. The fourth
group includes the various scented
geraniums, known mostly as Rose
geraniu1ns.

Many Uses Found for
Salt In Everyday Life

Although the average person eats
about pounds Of salt year, he
makes use Of 100 pounds in other
ways on farms and In products
made with the help of salt. And
every morning when he dresses. he
wears a little salt. for salt is used
in tanning his shoes and in process
ing and dyeing his clothing.
Used to freeze ice and ice cream,
rock salt is even more widely used
to melt snow and ice, and for that
reason cities and states throughout
the snow-belt area spread 1t on
streets and highways to keep, them
open and safe during winter stofnSs
Home owners spread rock salt on
porch steps. driveways and sides
walks. -
In the hands of American scien-
lists and craftsmen salt is magic
material and there is scarcely an
item used in daily living that has
not been touched by it in one way
or another. c h e m C S, glass,
paper, plastic materials, steel, ce-
ramics-salt is used in the manu-
facture of all of them. Used as a
seasoning, it points up the distinc-
tive flavor of food, and to pass the
salt at mealtimes is such an auto
matte gesture few people realize
that without the penny's worth OF
salt in their bodies, human beings
could not live. Used as basic
chemical, it cooks UP some of the
deadliest weapons devised by man.
Yet while chlorine, derivative of
salt, is an important wartime prod
uct, public health depends upon the
inclusion OF this same chemical in
drinking water for protection
against disease.

Tung Oil

Chinese tung oil was first called
"Chinawood oil" by Marco Polo
back in the 14th century when he
found it used in the making of fine
lacquers and enamels in the course
of his travels in ancient Cathay.
Today in this country it is called
either "Chinawood oil'' or 'tung
oil'' with the latter designation pre-
dominating. Prior to World War III
tung oil, which was widely used in
the paint, varnish and lacquer in
dustry in this country in the formu-
lation of many specialized finishes,
was practically cut off from inter-
national commerce, due to the
activities of the Japanese in China.
Following the japanese occupation
of China, this country's imports of
tung oil progressively dwindled,
until, by 1912. they had fallen from
100000 pounds of oil in 1887 to
100000 pounds.

Whaling Ancient Art

Actual capture of whales by the
Eskimos. by harpooning them in
narrow channels between ice foes,
must 60 back to prehistoric times,
and must long antedate the first
records of European whaling by the
Norsemen. as early as the ninth
century, and by the Basques, in the
Bay of Biscay, in the thirteenth
century. The leadership in the
whaling industry passed from one
seafaring people to another-to the
Dutch in the early seventeenth CEN
tury, then to the English, then, by
the early 1905. to the New Eng
landerS. In the redevelopment Of
whaling in modern times, the Nor
wegians have taken the lead, and
have been most actively emulated
by the Japanese.

African Firearms

Since the arrival of Europeans to-
ward the end of the 18th century,
firearms have become known to At
rican Negroes but have never been
very commonly used. The usual
form of firearm is the muzzle-load-
ing gun which is charged with frag-
ments of scrap iron obtained from
European sources. The marvel Is
that man can fire such device
and yet live. There is a terrific re-
coil, the barrel may break away
from the stock, and on the whole it
seems more dangerous for the war
rior than for the person he aims at.

serves would appear to be practic-
ally unlimited, rate of exhaustion
may be increased If the 30 to 40 per
cent average loss sustained in
mining is not reduced and if in the
