Ten Cars Per

Safety On 4tfa

During the three-day Fourth
Of July holiday this year. there
is chance Of 10 smash-ups for

The Council estimates that
there will be more than 10000

about 10 vehicles for each of the

wherever there is a car there is
chance for a wreck unless it
is operated safely.
The figur esOnly emphasize

Polio Exhibit Open
At Museum Of
Science, Industry

A new public education often
sive in the fight against infantile
paralysis was opened with the
completion Of a polio exhibit at
the Museum Of Science ana In
dustry in Chicago. Developed and
built by the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis ana it's
Cook County chapter for the Mu-
scum, the exhibit will give the
public a basic understanding OF
virus disease in general, specific
information on the various types
Of polio, its effects, treatment and
review of what the Foundation
is achieving in its efforts to
stamp out the dreaded disease.
With the beginning Of summer and
the fears of polio it brings to
parents, the exhibits opening IS
especially timely.
The first such installation to
be made anywhere in the country,
the polio exhibit is another step
in the. new health sciences pro-
gram of the Museum and it's eff
forts to familiarize the public
with current important medical
problems.
Using the most advanced ideas
in display techniques, including
visitor operation, the exhibit ut
lilies motion pictures, electron
monographs, miscrope slides,
animated models and modern art
to lift the curtain Of mystery and
fear the public has associated
with polio. A life size transparent
human figure with moving lights
traces the path travelled by in
lection and shows parts of the
body affected by the various
types of polio. The Relationship
OF nerve impulse to muscle &C
ton in voluntary motion is eX-
planned by an animated model in
a sequence shOwig the normal
ad paralyzed conditions. Usual
procedures of treatment for polio
patients are portrayed in a series
of 'three-mimensional sculpture

devoted to the advances made by
orthopaedic surgery in aiding the
polio victims recovery Of normal
functions.

Paris Shining Skirts
For Late Summer

NEW YORK-Paris, the nerve
center Of the fashion industry,
has begun to slim down the long
skirts and coypcat New York,
along with the rest of the coun-
try, will soon take the cue.
Having reached the saturation
point on the full, billowy skirts
with tremendous yardage (some
skirts have been made up with
IA yards), Paris designers are
a little sick of theirs creation.
They've started now to work in
reverse by pairing down the ex-
aggerated skirt to reasonable
flowingness. More over, they're
highlighting the pencil slim ones
for the bridge between seasons

be quickly picked up by women

Though Paris is fed UP with
wide skirts, New York, slow to
re react, will continue through
the summer to wear them pro-
fusely. 1t will be fall and early
winter before we get down to
the slender mode. Meanwhile, up

hot streets, they're long and
swaying, giving grace and ele-

LET'S TALK
ABOUT QoM
BY CHARLES B. ROTH
Tact-A Daily Need

1dCt-A Od11y INeeU
One Of the chief qualities Of those
whom you like and admire is q
quality known as tact.
Chances are that in your lifetime
you've known very few men and
women who were completely tactful.
But haven't you known scores and
scores who were not?
You know the kind I mean-men
and women who always are saying
uhtactful things that make you I'm.
happy, that fill you with doubts about
yourself, that give you moments
when you wonder whether there is
such a thing as a kindly person in
the world.
Tact is without doubt the essence
of charm, graciousness and of
gentleness. But do you know what
it is?
It's merely the perception of what
to do or say under delicate or diff
cult circumstances. That's defini
tion Of tact. But tact is much more
than a definition really.
Tact is really way of life. Yol
can't be tactful unless you are
thinking about other people, abou
what they like, about their right.
and feelings more than you thinE
about your own.
The real value of tact in your Life
is that it relieves tension and glosse:
over situations that might endangel
friendships or cause you to lose self
respect in the eyes of other persons
If you have tact, you balance botl
sides and never willfully offend an
other person
At the risk Of appearing untactful
let me tell you that no one ever j.
born with tact, but everyone wht
ever had it acquired it. And yos
can acquire it just as easily ans
just as surely as anyone else can
Do you want to know how?
I've already limited at that earle,
in this article. limited at this whe,
I said that If you wanted to be tact
ful you had to think more about tn,
other person than you think abou
yourself. And that's the advice
am going to give you now.
Think of that other person, try
to see his viewpoint, try to see
what his likes and dislikes are.
Ask yourself what you would do
If your respective roles were re-
versed. And then when you ex-
press yourself either by word or
action. express yourself in unsel-
fishness In the way you think he
would like you to.

U.S.. Women Give

Norman S. Dine, who has helped
thousands of sheep-counters with

women always have had the good
sense to prefer double beds.
During my IS years Of selling

said they liked a double bed be.
cause sleeping beside man was re-
assuring and restful."
Many dreaded a cold bed and
others, Dine said, claimed it was
their only chance to talk to their
husbands.
practically all agreed it i'm
proved the chance for domestic har-
mony."
But, Dine said, the males couldn't
see it that way. They insisted upon
their privacy.
Men Are Individualists
They argued that in double bed
they couldn't retain their individual.

Dine, wanted to be able to sprawl
over the entire bed.
$50 even though sampling sur
vey showed that men could sleep
sounder in a double bed," Dine re-
counted, 1--WE had to resort to sub.
terfuge to lure them into one."
The subterfuge took the form OF
three devices, all of which will GO
down in history alongside Dimes
600 other sleepy-time inventions.
They were dreamed up to give the
woman back her partner while let.
ting the man retain his rights.
The first device, Dine said, is a
bundle bed. This has gadget that
can be thrown down the middle Of
the mattress, fencing off the part.

the partners from poaching on each
others territory.
The second gadget is mattress
with a hard set Of coils in the cen.
ter. This is to discourage either
partner from rolling into the center
of the bed.
The third is an electric blanket
with cold zone in the center to
keep either partner from grabbing
more than his half.
