The Southland advocate., 1950-04-15
BY HELEN JAMESON

Though old-timers-the ancients
and honorables among us may
glorify the good old days of the
past. they are willing to acknowl-
edge that wrinkles now come la
ter in life, that the complexion of
fine texture is more common than
when they were young ladies.
Well, why shouldn't it be? We
have learned a lot about the eff
feet of nutrition on the skin, the
need of the balanced diet. Women
have taken up outdoor sports.
Physical education is popular
and an interesting subject. The
daily bath has become an institu-
ton. All these matters contribute
toward health, and health is the
foundation upon which the tenn
pie of beauty is built.
Cosmetics have played an i'm
portant part. We know that beau
| ty magic doesn't come in jars and
bottles, that an old face cannot
be rejuvenated over night. But we
realize that soothing creams keep
| the skin soft, smooth, free of GER
tain blemishes. Nature provides Sc
baceous glands for the purpose of
lubricating the epidermal covering,
but these glands often go on strike
due usually to lack of fat in the
| diet-so oily toiletries supply the
need. They should be applied free
ly, especially in the winter sea-
son when cold winds bring a chap
ped condition.
No matter whether the skin is
dry or oily, powder, rouge and
lilpstick should be removed with
a thin cream. After that the face
should have a thorough renovat-
| ing with warm water and a bland
soap. A few quick swishes with a
wash cloth are not enough.
There should be rinsing with
warm water, and every bit of lath-
er must be removed. A cold rims
ing following the warm one will
bring a pleasing reaction of the
blood streams that. is good for the
functioning of the glands, and
keeps tissues from softening. 1t
will contract enlarged pores if they
are present. Drying should be gen.
tie, a soft towel being used in
preference to a coarse one.
AS an insurance against wrink-
les-and premature ones may
come early if the skin is thin and
delicate-a heavy massage cream
should be used after the bedtime

Under Way

1oAh1 WooO.
War Aims, considered death at
the box Office while memories of
the late carnage were still fresh,
are making q lucrative comeback.
After World War II movie mo-
guls called a halt to production Of
battle dramas, predicting it would
be 10 years before the public
would accept them. Soldier and
civilian. they figured, would need
q decade to forget the nightmares
Of slaughter.
Then last year a couple Of
studios tested the market with
Command Decision" and Home
Of the Brave" When these films
drew crowds the race was on. Now,
hve and q half years ahead Of
schedule. the screen is refreshing
old war memories with spate OF
Aims about fighting men.
The armed services, each after
public prestige, bent over back
ward to help studios make films
about their heroes. The Navy sup
piled ships and planes for 'Task
Force" The Army provided tanks
and guns for battle-ground" The
Marines threw thousands of troops
into mock combat for Sands of
Two Jima." The Air Force gave
the makers Of Twelve O'Clock
High" reels of Aim showing
bombers in action.
More than half a dozen war
movies were made last year and
more are planned.
Hollywood was quicker on the
trigger after this war than it was
after World War I. "The -Four
Horsemen Of the Apocalypse" hit
the scren in 1921. then fighting
films were gorgotten until 1925
when "The Big Parade" teed of
a f1ve-year cycle. The unforget-
tables of that era were What
Price Glory?" Rockies" one of
the few war comedies; "All Quiet
on the Western Front and "Hell's
Angles"
Thus far the only comedy film
since the second war is Francis" +"
an unlikely tale of a talking mule
on the battlefields Of Burma.
The Aims Hollywood is making
now are of different stripe than
wartime dramas such as Wake
Island" "Guadalcanal Diary"
purple Heart" "They Were Ex-
pendable" and "The Story of
G. I. joe" These were enlistment
posters which also served to spur
the war effort. Their stock in
trade was heroicS.
The new crop Is often critical Of
brass. politicians, red tape and in
efficiency. G.. rs aren't always
heroes. The films are realistic
and sometimes terrifying.
For better or worse the war Aim
cycle is here. It will last as long
as the public can take it.

payment of all his debts. Last
time I talked with Bob he told me
he wouldn't see financial daylight
for two more years To Lucille
Ball, a baby, adopted or other

an infant. Husband Desi Arnaz

one Of their own.
Joan Fontaine-a reconcilia-
ton with her husband, Bill Dozier.
Because that, in spite Of her too
vehement denials, is what she
madly wants. o.. To sister Olivia
de NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Oscar
for "The Heiress." And another
baby. Livvy is currently obsessed
by both.
For John Wayne, at least two
babies to bless his present mar
riage with Esperanza Rosalind
Russell-an even career balance.
For two years ROE made very
dramatic movies. Now she is going
overheard on light frothy come
dies. Somewhere in between. she
is an excellent actress. For
the Tyrone Powers, a baby. Ditto
for Lana Turner and Bob
Topping. Both Linda and Lana
lost expected babies during 1949
For Douglas, a "Champion."
For Fred MacMurray. good
health for wife Lillian, who has
been a semi-invalid for the past
10 years. Kirk Douglas and
another Champion" and another

with Diana. It seemed okay,

Out of Practice?

Montgomery Cliff has had an
unusual career for a romantic
leading man. Perhaps that's why
he had to kiss Shelley Winters
1872 times. by press agents tally,
before Director George Stevens
was satisfied.
There was no love interest in
Cliffs first film, "The Search" !"
Romance was a minor thread In
the plot Of Red River" his sec

and lost q girl who frowned on

Possibly out of practice, Cliff
had trouble delivering exactly the

and shots from several angles did
Stevens finally say, Print It,

Repair Queries
Expert Answers

Answer: The f1ashings between
the porch roof and the house
walls are probably worn out and
need replacement. AS this is
rather drastic repair job. the
next best thing to do is to fill in
the ,olnt with caulking compound,
which can be had in light colors
as well as black. A carpenter has
the necessary "caulking gun" for
making this repair.
Or if there is someone in your
household who is handy with
tools, he could buy caulking- gun
at a good hardware store and
force the compound into all open
cracks and joints. Or he could
make the repairs with an asphalC
roof cement, putting it in with a
troWel.
Faded Upholstery.
Question: Is it at all possible
to dye a faded davenport and
chair?
Answer: would not advise you
to try it unless you can take the
covers off the furniture first. And
if you should do SO, and dip them
in hot dye. they might shrink so
that you could not replace them
again.
I believe you could make the
pieces look fresher if you were to
clean them with a shampoo" in

By ROGER G. Whitmon

Question: Can you tell me the
best procedure for painting an old
concrete basement floor to make
lit suitable for dancing?
Answer: A painted floor is not a
suitable surface for dancing be-
cause it will not stand up under
the constant friction of dancing
shoes. My suggestion would be to
cover the concrete with an asphalt
floor tile or color the concrete with
a special preparation known as
a dye"
This material penetrates into
the surface of the concrete and
should stand up longer under
dancing feet. If you want to paint
the floor, use a rubber base floor
paint. 1t will withstand dampness
and any alkaline condition that
may be present in concrete floor
that is in contact with the ground.
The name of the maker of the
cement floor ''dye" preparation
can be obtained from the Archi-
tects Samples Exhibit, 101 Park
avenue, New York II.

ten completely. The steel spring
which is bow-shaped and held in
place by two small screws, is at
tached to the fiat surface of the
window frame so that the edge
of the sash passes over it in run
ming up and down.
AS this spring exerts a steady
but not too heavy pressure against
the sash end, the window will
stay up or down as desired. The
illustration shows the best loca-
ton in which to attach it.
BY using this attachment, it is
not necessary to remove any
holdings or beads, the sash is left
in place and the paint undam-
aged. It is another of the many
modern ideas which are making
home maintenance and repair
easy for the amateur.

ing more than attaching feet of
rope to weight and sash. Eighty
out of 100 homes have at least one
window which will not work be-
cause of a broken sash cord, and
the owners will not attempt the
repair themselves and have no in
tention of paying regular car
penter to do it. There is no real
necessity for this condition.
There are two ways of repairing
a broken sash-cord. One is to
really replace it and the other
is to forget it and substitute a
clever little steel spring gadget
which keeps a steady pressure
against the sash and makes it
stay in any position desired.
To replace a broken cord, the
stop bead outside of the movable
sash is removed so that the sash
can be taken out of the window
frame.
This can be done carefully so
that as little damage as possible
is done to the paint. The next
step is to locate the pocket-cover.
a small rectangular hatch or door
located in the window casing and
held in place with two screws.
When this is removed, you see
the long, open shaft in which the
weight moves up and down.
The weight will be found at the
bottom of this shaft with the
broken end of the cord attached.
A new length of cord is then
passed over the pulley at the top
of casing, fastened to the top of
the sash, pushed down until it
can be drawn out of the pocket
and then attached to the weight.
Common sense will show how
long the new cord should be be-
fore it is permanently fastened
to sash and weight. The sash is
then replaced and the stop bead
put back in proper position. In
many cases. a light but strong
chain is used in place of the cord.
Once the pocket-cover is located
and the sash is removed from the

believe that they have to take the
