With all the royal fitting in and
out Of town it's fitting that we tell
you about the visit of q famous
milliner who is to be guest speaker
today at the Women's Advertising
Club luncheon at the Washington
Hotel. II democratic American
fashion had to name q Queen" to
reign over the millinery designing
field you'd find the name of Sally
Victor up on top! You've guessed
it! The reason Sally's in town is
to talk about spring bonnets. What
Sally doesn't know is that three of
the drama critics Of Washing
tons different paper&are also going
to have two-minute sayso during
the same program. We think the
idea of letting men hold forth on
the subject of hats a good one-after
all, it's usually the man who pays
the millinery bill when the first Of
the month rolls around. -.
Seymour Troy, leading shoe de-
signer was recently in town. He
predicts that fall will be the most
colorful shoe season ever. Another
interesting thought was Mr.. Troy's
mention that past concentration
was focused on shoe vamps in an
endeavor to make the American
woman's foot smaller. Now the
trend is to make the foot more
slender. This accounts for the long
narrow pointed shoe with the peak

For every known diabetic, there
Is one who Is unknown" declares
Herbert Yahraes In the latest Public
Affairs Committee pamphlet. "Gooc
News About Diabetes" The num-
Der Of diabetes In the population
today II estimated to be approx
mately 100000. The unknown
million" are diabetic and they don't
know it--in fact, many of them
don't even know they are sick.
But the unknown million Is also de-
scribed as the hopeful million. They
are usually the mild cases, and de-
lection can lead to successful treat
ment.
The facts about diabetes as they
exist today are encouraging ones, as
revealed by the pamphlet. The
average diabetic with good care Is
now expected to live almost as long
IS any one else and diabetes are
urged to live IS If they expected to
have . longer life span than the
average. The new insulins are more
effective, and make possible a diet
that Is constantly coming closer to
the normal diet. Diabetes lose their
identity In the crowd today, and
find they can do just about anything
other people can do.
Thirst, excessive urination and
hunger are found in the most severe,
untreated cases Of diabetes. Other
symptoms may be firing easily, loss
Of weight, intense itching and slow
healing infections. Some cases first
come to light when there have been
successive crops Of boils or when
cuts and bruises have taken abnor-
mally long to heal. Sometimes o
dentist or an oculist find an unusal
condition in the gums or eyes.
Many diabetes, however. have no
striking symptoms. And here again,
as in other diseases, the ounce of
prevention Is more important then
the pound Of cure. A thorough
physical examination once a year
Is the best prevention possible. In
the course of this examination, the
urine Is analyzed for sugar con-
tent. The blood is often examined,
too, to determine the sugar content
Of the blood. And sometimes q So
called glucose tolerance test, which
measures a persons ability to han
die sugar normally, is given.
Persons who have diabetic rela-
tives are most apt to contract dia-
betes. "Of persons who develop the
disease in childhood" the author
points out, perhaps so per cent can
point to other cases in the family.
If all the facts were known, it might
be possible to show that heredity
plays part In every case" It's
sensible for a diabetic who Is con-
sidering marriage to be as sure as
possible that the prospective part
ner is not q diabetic and comes from
family In which there is no his
tory of diabetes.

.WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

By Josephine Lo,yman
The men who read why Grow
Old?" seem to be taking the column
over! The following letter arrived
after I wrote a colmun about cats.
Your article about cats inter-
ested me. Cats do grow old, but
If they are careful to use all nine
Of their lives, they manage fairly
well. ...
Cats sleep lot, especially in cold
weather. They relax, sure they do,
in a wonderful way! Keeping up
with the Joneses does not interest
them at all and they never worry as
humans do.
when you wrote about getting
down on all fours and stretching
like a cat I decided that you do
not know much about cats. Did you
ever see a cat get down on its
knees?
"As for bay windows on a cat,
guess walking on all fours takes
care of that. The only bay win
dow my cat ever had disappeared
after a few weeks with the arrival
of six kittens.
Il could tell you lots more about
cats If I had time"
Nope! I never saw a cat on It's
knees but Just how are we upright
animals to achieve the middle of
the back stretch without getting
down on ours? The exercise I
described is fine for relaxation. It
makes you wish you could purr.
Another cat exercise is the simple
stretch. This is also relaxing as
well as slimming. Sometimes cats
lie on their side and stretch full
length from front feet to back feet,
extending their legs. In humans
this would mean stretching with
arms extended over head from
fingertips to toes.
At other times, cats sit on the
floor with all legs bent under them.
Then they keep their back legs as
they are and stretch forward as far
as they can with their front legs
stretching out against the floor.
This exercise can be copied by
kneeling on both knees and reach
ing forward as far as possible with
the hands, trunk bent forward, arms
straight, and fingers on the floor.
This is an extremely beneficial ex-
ercise.
II you would like to have my ex-
ercises for relaxing send stamped,
self-addressed envelope with your
request for leaflet No. a. Exercises
for Relaxing" to Josephine Lowman

ment Of any other illness. There Is
a need for good balance among
iEsulin, diet and exercise, and the
diabetes schedule should be con.
sistent day after day. Many more
women than men develop diabetes,
and the disease strikes most often In
middle and old age. Several studies
show that the highest diabetes NOR
tality Is among the better-of classes
and lowest among workers doing
hard manual labor. There is also a
relationship between diabetes and
overweight.
So well has treatment improved
that the diabetic coma is no longer
important as cause Of death from
diabetes. As q matter OF fact, peo-
pie die WITH diabetes rather than
FROM 1t. The relation between
diabetes and hardening Of the ar
teries, and between heart disease
and diabetes (you should have q
doctor who understands both con-
ditions and their interrelation), Is
discussed. The relation between eye
trouble and diabetes is covered, too.
The pamphlet also contains In.
formation on the types Of insulin
that exist.
