Assembly Line Fashions

Assembly Line Fashions
Paris designers have noted that
since the war there are fewer and
fewer houses of high fashion. Within
10 years, they predict, the exclusive
Paris model will be a thing Of the
past, except possibly for very rich
who unfortunately are very few.
Five of the top Paris fashion houses
joined hands last week in deal to
mass produce frocks. The result will
be dresses with famous labels for
about $50 a copy.
The FIVE members of the combine
are Jean Desses, Hollywood favorite
Jacques Faith and designers Paquin,
Robert Piguet and Carven.
Under the plan, each designer will
contribute seven models; two suits,
two sports coats, two simple dresses
and a raincoat or topcoat. The S5
models then will be adapted to mass
production at factory near Paris.
A major store in each large city in
France, outside of Paris, will be
stocked with the S5 models, and the
designers will be paid royalties for
each number sold bearing their label
Jean Desses, one of the five, says
that if the idea catches on in France
it will spread to other countries in
Europe and eventually to the United
States.

For Women Only

A new movie counted on to save the
lives Of thousands Of women made its
debut last week before the American
Medical Association in convention at
San Francisco.
In the United States about $4,000
women get breast cancer every year
and about 10000 of them die of it later.
At present, nearly three out of five
breast cancer cases have spread to other
body parts before the women seek
medical help.
For quick detection, says the Ma
Gional Cancer Institute, a monthly ex-
animation of all women over S5 is
needed. But there are not and never
will be enough doctors in this country
to make that many examinations.
The only solution, says the institute,
is to show women themselves how to
look for signs of breast malignancy.
The new movie uses a live, attractive
model to show how women can exam

Blood Pressure
Doctors were shown new chart, de-
veloped by life insurance company,
showing how blood pressure clasSifies
people into groups with Startlingly DIFF
ferent death rates.
The chart shows ranges of systolic
and diaStolic blood pressures. The sys-
tolic pressure is the result of the con-
traction of the heart muscle, which
produces the pulse beat. The diaStoliC
is the pressure in the arteries between
heartbeats.
For young persona a sample of nor
NAL pressure might be 100 Systolic and
IS diaStolic. This is called 120 over IS
or 120/85,
If you are a male between 80 and &c.
your systolic between 118 and 1877 and
your diastolic below 80, you are in q
group which dies at the average rate
But if your reading is 140/90 or 150/9O
or somewhere between, you are among
people who die twice as fast as average
In this same age group with pres
sure Of 150/100, persons die three times
as fast as the general run.
In the 40 to 49-year age group, the
reading for the average class is l30 t.
1875 over 80 or 80. Persons in this grouI
with a reading of 150/96 die more thar
twice as fast as average.
Over so years of age, 1880 is the
reading for the average class.
These figures apply to men only
Average blood pressures for womeT
run slightly lower for corresponding
death rates.
But whether man or woman, regard

The japanese overran the peninsula

restoration of independence to 80

Allies with the defeat of Japan at the
end Of World War II.
A Traditional Pawn
A provisional government was set
up by the occupying powers but be-
fore it could take over the cold war
broke out between Russia and the
United States. Russia had occupied
the northern half of Korea with a
population of about nine million,
above the 38th parallel. The southern
half, largely agricultural with about
Il million people, was administered
by the Americans.
The provisional government of ten
members Give each from the Ameri-
can and Soviet zones) never really
had a chance to function.
In May, 1948, Moscow announced
that the Reddominated puppet gov
ernment in North Korea had adopted
a constitution claiming jurisdiction
over the whole peninsula.

The declaration preceded by 10
days a national election, under aus
pices of the United Nations, for a
Korean national assembly. Russia re-
fused to permit people in its zone to
participate.
Since that time the 38th parallel

became a fortified border bisecting
the peninsula. The Russians trained a

modern weapons, including heavy
tanks, artillery and planes.
Seoul, the capital of South Korea,
is about 80 miles south Of the 38th
parallel. Hello or Pyongyang, capital
of the northern communist Peoples
Republic, is 65 miles north Of the 38th,
The Russians withdrew their occu-
patton troops in December, 1948. The
last American troops pulled out a
year ago. South Korea was aided with
a 125 million dollar aid program and
a 500-man American military advisory
team remained to train the southern
army Of about 100000 men.
The Red-dominated republic in the
north had about 100000 troops under

Mr.. Truman enunciated a broad
new U. S. policy for the Pacific. It's key
points include:
l. U. S. sea and air forces to give
South Korean troops cover and sup
port.
2. The U. S. Seventh Fleet will in
tervene, if necessary, to prevent any
attack on Formosa.
3. Chang Kai shek's Nationalist
government on Formosa is to cease
all air and sea attacks on the main-
land as its contribution toward re-
storing peace in the area.
4. American forces in the Philip
pines will be strengthened and mile

5. Military aid for French Indo-

Stop Breathing Cure

Stop Breuthing Cure
One good way to treat stubborn
tuberculosis cases is to stop the pa
tents breathing.
The strange experience Of living
without breathing has arrested the
disease in 19 of 20 patients at Colum-
bia University's College Of Physi-
clans and Surgeons.
Treatment is administered in a
new type Of iron lung developed
several years ago by DR.. Alvin L.
Barach.
The ordinary iron lung helps
breathing but keeps the lung mus
cles in motion. The Barach machine
supplies oxygen to the lungs by
keeping the air pressure always con-
slant inside and outside the body.
Patients in the lung, called an im-
mobilization chamber, have to learn
to stop breathing. Stoppage Of lung
motion gives damaged lung tissues
a chance to heal faster.
Curious effects show up after
patient has spent few four-hour
periods in the immobilization cham-
Der.
If he is a smoker he loses the de-
sire to smoke. The reason for this Is
not fully understood but probably Is
connected with letdown Of psychic
tension.
The heart doesn't beat so hard; the
pulse slows down by ssven to IS
beats a minute.
There apparently is a decrease IA
the output Of adrenalin, the hormons
which makes people tense and ready
