"Voltaire" is logically enough in

According to Louis Calta OF the
New York Times, 1t really is quite
all right about "Oklahoma!" and
the long-run musical record. The
assumption that 1t closed last Sat-
urday night SO performances short
of Chu-Chin-Ch world record
seems to have been premature.
A few minutes of statistical agil-
ity on the part of the Theater
Guild provides Columnist Calta
with the knowledge that actually
"Oklahoma!" was eight perform
ances over the record. This Is
accounted for by A hitherto un-
recorded matinee performances
bargain affairs which were offered
to special audiences during the
war.
That technically leaves the final
standing of the two operettas

Chow" 2,238.
Every one can go looking now
for another hair to split.

Speaking of "Oklahoma!'. as
who has not been for the last five
and cne-half years, we seem tc
have aroused the wrath of temi-
nine Oklahoma in Washington by
a slightly slurring reference to the
exclamation point in the title.
Nothing, of course, could have
been farther from our intent which
is. above all things, to enjoy the
high regard Of all people from
Oklahoma.
The fact remains. however, that
critics cannot type an exclamation
point-as the Oklahoma girl says
she can-in one sweeping flick OF
the fingers. 1t takes the former a
minimum of three. the reward for
which is an exclamation point that
looks like mess.
In time, naturally. they grew to
believe that Oklahoma automatic
ally implies its own exclamation
point. Which, we hope, puts that
girl back on our side.

5 BILLS ARE LAW INA DAYS TRUMAN'VETO
WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON. - R Con gress made history yesterday by passing major Legislation over President Truman's veto for the third time in four days.

 Final action was completed by the House. The Senate overrode

the veto 63 to 25 yesterday:
 The House vote was 297 to 102. This was 3l votes more than the two-thirds needed to make the measure law over MT. Truman's objections.
 Congressional officials said 3 vetoes slapped down within a week is a record not equalled by any other Congress.
 Earlier this week Congress had knocked down vetoes of a social security bill and an appropria- ton bill transferring the United States Employment Service from the Labor Department to the Fed eral Security Agency. Both are now law, along with the railroad bill.

BEAUTY
Ironing and Folding
Good Table Linens

| with a fold down the center. This is
the only crease that the etiquette of
correct table setting permits. The
exact point at which this crease oc-
ours can be rotated by folding the
cloth down the center one time it is
laundered a quarter of an inch off
center to the right the next time,
then to the left third time. Thus
any wear that might result from
folding is distributed over sufficient
area to minimize any danger of
wear.
Since crosswise folds are taboo
on a well tailored table, the length
wise folded cloth should be folded
back and forth loosely in the linen
drawer. But this does take lot of
room and, loose as the folds are, they
may develop into humps that just
won't lie flat when the cloth is on
the table. Rolling around a mailing
tube, a sawed-otf broom handle or
a yard length of curtain pole will
keep a cloth flat and creaseless. In
the case of a large banquet cloth
which may not be used again for
some time, rolling like absorbent
cotton in blue paper will keep the
cloth a cleaning white, free from
any tint oflyellow. Paper for this
purpose is sold in the department
stores and in most stationery stores.
Since hot air is not good. for lin
ems, they should be stored in chest
which is not too near radiator or
steam pipe. And if any linens are
bought not for immediate but for
future use, it is wise to wash out
the original finish before storing.'

FEATURES
By ELEANOR ROSS

THERE'S both art and science in
ironing and folding table linen cor
rectly. All the care in washing and
drying fine linen will be wasted, and
the fine appearance destroyed if
these tasks are not tackled with
care. After all, there is such min
ute difference between doing a task
well and an Indifferent job, that
surely it is worth the easy second
mile" to do the job right.
Fine damask cloths and napkins
should be well dampened and rolled
down several hours before ironing
Both ironers and electric irons with
automatic heat control indicate the
highest heat for linens. Neverthe-
less, the heat should be carefully
watched. The less the amount of
dampness that has to be ironed,' the
more likelihood that the iron will
get hotter than was intended. Iron
ing with too much heat will result
in faint yellowness if not an actual
scorch. Linens should be ironed first
on the wrong side and then on the
right.
Fold Lengthwise
When ironed dry, dinner napkins
are folded lengthwise into thirds,
tea napkins into halves. The same
folds are then repeated crosswise.
The folds should be pressed in gent
ly with the hands. This is a profess
sional trick always employed by a
good laundress. She knows that
hard creases with the iron tends to
Areak the fiber. Because of their
size, table cloths have to be ironed

Brush Your
Hair Often!
By HELEN FOLLETT

ONE of the laws of nature is to
exact toll for neglect of any physi-
cal item. 1t is particularly true of
the silky threads atop your head.
We all know women who go from
one wave set to another without
disturbing the precious thatch. 1t is
combed over lightly and that's all.
No brushing to stimulate the circu-
lation of the scalp, to give luster to
the shafts. Permanents have I'M
proved each year but, even so, there
should be certain amount of con-
ditioning done before one submits
to the curly-cuing operation, no
matter whether it is machine, ma
chineless, cold wave or the self-ad-
ministered treatment.
Your locks should bear up hand
somely under any mode; the short
cut, the shoulder length, the uppity
hair-do. They won't if they have too
much freedom from care" The
scalp must be clean, circulation
brisk, no dead scales. That is pos
sible only when shampoos are given
frequently, with rousing friction,
and the scalp:has an occasional mas
sage.
Should Carry Gloss
Whether hair is straight, natur-
ally curly, or subjected to the per-
manent, it should carry a gloss that
is the earesult of healthy growth
and fastidious attention. Do not be
neglectful. Those lovely tresses may
not always remain abundant.
r. the hair is exceedingly dry,
apply a little brilliantine to the
comb when arranging it. Use good
shampoo. If the growth is oily, use
soap and rinse every bit of it away.
The slightest deposit leftss on the
shafts will increase the oiliness.
Also, cut down on foods that con,s
tain fats-fat meat, cream, butter,
pastry. These items enrage the Sc
baeeous glands, make them work
like crazy, sending film of oil over
the facial area, the scalp, the entire
body surface.

"You are right; he won't bother

put another question.
From something you said while
you were talking" he said, 81
thought Dad was saying something
about Rod and me. Was it anything
you don't want to tell me-"
"Indeed, no." l said. "He remem-
bered that he'd promised to take
you around the town today, and he
said as he wasn't up to it, you'd bet
ter see Mr.. Veritzen, and take him
up on the offer he made you last
night, for any matinee in the city,"
Junior fairly jumped from his
perch on the arm of my chair, and
his mouth opened for explosive
speech. But l caught his arm, and
put my finger to my lips.
Sharp Ears
Careful" l warned. "Faith's
ears are very sharp"
II know" he said, and sat down
again. "But, what kind of heels does
Dad think Rod and I are? Does he
think we could enjoy anything while
we were remembering what so near
ly happened to him?"
"He knows how you both love
him." l told him soothingly. "But
he also knows how long you've been
shut up in that school, and he wants
you to have some fun on this out
ing"
"Fun!" Junior replied scornfully.
"Rod and | don't want fun, not with
the kind of folks we've got. To hear
some of the fellows talk, you'd think
they didn't'care rap whether they
ever went home or not. But not the
lads with homes like ours. All we
want is to get home to you and
Dad, and Faith, and Granzie and
Grandad.. I don't mind telling you
we've been darned homesick."
