lMeticu|ous GROOMING Essential to Teens
By Kite Turmoil

Connie, at II, would be a stand
out" in any Easter parade. As q
senior, she was PACED to pose for
teen fashion picture for magazines
this spring. In a school play she
was spotted by motion picture
talent scouts who encouraged her
to study for career as an actress,
after graduation this June.
Connie would be quick to tell
you "Why, I'm no beauty" but she
glows with q lively, interesting
look. She radiates the poise which
shows that she knows she is so
well-groomed that she can afford
| to forget her appearance. Her
coach" Is her mother, q cosme-
tologist who was consulted as an
authority by many young people
before she shelved her career to
rear Connie. This is her practical
advice:
First, do something about the
lsplit-ends Of hair, which make
many girls wall 7 can't do a thing
with my hair-do.' Snip of the
ends, often. BY that, I do not
mean to slash an inch at a time;
one-eighth of an inch, each trim,
is more like it. Unless split-ends
are cut, they can break healthy
hair.
ITO home-set the hair, without
the fuzzy or limp look, try sculp-
ture curls, wrapped from the end
up to the scalp. If your hair is un-
ruly, keep rolling the end around
the finger before you start the
roll-up. If rolled up from the end,
with ends tucked in tight after
the roll-up, you will get tighter
but softer effect. Alter you brush
tout the pin-curis, your hair-do can
be shaped back into free-fiowing
curls and waves which handle
easily and give you more natural
and individual hair-do.
To keep hair from looking tan
gled, brush vigorously, from the
scalp out, head lowered, until your
scalp tingles. You can even pull
your hair to create circulation and
a natural (not greasy flow of oil.
That helps the dry-hair problem.
Brush your eyebrows, too; keep
a neat line, but do not change
the natural curve.
"Give your skin a chance to
breathe during the night. Many
teen-agers who use little or no
makeup think, wrongly, that this
excuses them from the need for
a thorough cleansing before bed.
Night cleanup is a must. During
the day, do not pile on the pore
clogging cosmetics which can
make you look like a comic char
acter. Use the light touch, to
create illusion. Do not cover up
your young charm, let it glow
through"
Boys tell Comics mother that
the three things least likely to
make them look at the same girl
twice, with interest, are smeary
makeup. odd eyebrows. frizzy hair.

Sentences Should Fit the Crime

Two charts prepared by the Washington
Criminal Justice Association tend to SubStantiate
charges of the Davis Crime Committee and civic
groups that local judges are too easy" on major
criminals One of the charts, contained in the
associations 1850 report on crime in Washington,
shows sentences imposed in District Court In
felony cases. The other shows the disposition OF
narcotics cases. The association succinctly notes
that maximum sentences are seldom imposed.
The tendency toward lenient sentencing, the re-
port points out 'has created considerable
amount of concern that is reflected in efforts to
establish mandatory minimum sentences In GER
tain offense categories."
The general felony tabulation discloses that
no Judge during the past fiscal year imposed the
maximum sentence possible in any of the 247
convictions for housebreaking, 121 for grand
larceny, "a for Miller Act violations (sex Of
fenses), 16 for second-degree murder or for
manslaughter. Only one maximum sentence was
imposed in 116 cases of assault with dangerous
weapon. Not all of those sentenced went to jail,
either Probation was granted in one-f1fth Of
the 029 major felony cases.
The association was particularly critical OF
the courts past attitude in narcotics cases. ct
should be noted here that District judges follow
ing recent testimony at the Capitol by narcotics
enforcement officers regarding light" sentences

been cracking down on this type of criminals)
The association is in favor of strong sentences
for any one dealing in the commercial disposal
Of narcotics" The report said: There is no
offense of more vicious significance in the COM
munity than the illegal sale, possession and use
of narcotics. The commercial drug peddler must
be removed from society and his nefarious trade
must be permanently eliminated. The history Of
drug addiction indicates that the user frequently
resorts to crime in order to obtain sufficient
funds to keep himself supplied with drugs" The
association found that of IA defendants convicted
in narcotics cases only one received the maxi
mum penalty of Is years. In most cases the
sentence was three years or less. About one
out of five defendants was placed on probation.
1t was because of such evidences OF judicial
leniency that the Davis Crime Committee recon-
mended mandatory minimum sentences In GER
tain crimes This proposal has received House
approval and is now pending before the Senate
District Committee. The House also has passed
bill to increase penalties in Federal drug cases
and to ban suspended sentences or probation for
secondroffense violations. As was the case with
the Davis bill, opposition has come from the
judges, who contend that they should have dis
cretion to make sentences fit the crime. Their
arguments would carry more weight if the record
showed that most judges actually made SEN
tences fit the seriousness of the crime. Un-
fortunately, the careful study by the washington
Criminal Justice Association indicates otherwise.

A General Earns Rotation

Lieutenant General Edward M Almond has
earned the rotation" assignment which is bring
ing him back to the States after 10 months of
rugged combat duty in Korea. The citations for
the two Distinguished Service Crosses which
General Almond won for personal bravery at the
Inchon landing and subsequently make 1t plain
that he was a front-line soldier in every sense
of The word. Since it has become the policy to
rotate front-line soldiers as rapidly as condi-
tions permit, the commander of the illustrious
10th Corps had as much right as any Of his
men to come home.
Home to General Almond is Luray, Virginia,
where he was born So years ago. He left Luray
to attend v. M. l., from which he graduated in
time to get into World War T. He was wounded
by shrapnel during the Aisne-Marne offensive.
After that war he decided that an infantry
officer ought to know something about airplanes
and ships and he succeeded in getting himself
assigned not only to the principal Army training
schools and colleges but to those of the Air Corps
and Navy as we'll In this way he was better
qualified than many of his fellow officers for the
three-service teamwork OF World War II and,
later, of Korea In World War II he commanded
the 92d Infantry Division in italy. After the
war ne became member of General MacArthur's
staff in Tokyo, eventually being promoted to
chief Of STAFF It was while assisting General
Macarthur In working out plans Tor the 1nchon
landing that General Almond first learned that
his boss had picked him to command the dam
gerous operation.
From Inchon General Almond led his corps
in q series OF bitter battles against the enemy.
In May, when his corps halted an attack by
three Red armies, he not only few repeatedly in
an lnarmed spotting plane over the enemy lines
to direct his artillery fire, but also led tank

Clue to Schizophreniu
Mysterious Substance
Offers Hope Of Treatment
By Thomos R. Henry

A mysterious substance apparently
found only in victims of schizophrenia
may provide clue to this most n1ys-
terious Of all mental diseases which has
been most resistant to all methods Of
treatment.
This substance has been found by
chemists of the Mellon Institute for
Industrial Research. Injected into ami
mails. it has the immediate effect Of
raising the blood sugar. The material
obtained to date is quite impure, but
the chemists have determined that its
major constituent is either protein,
nitrogen material of the type which
constitutes the building stones of all
living things. or a protein-like substance.
Physical Difference Found.
The real significance Of the discovery.
it is stressed in the Mellon Institute re-
port. is that for the first time definite
physical difference has been found be-
tween mentally normal persons and
those suffering from this particular type
of insanity.
The material is obtained from the urine
of schizophrenia victims. 1t occurs only
to the extent of six to ten parts per
million. It cannot be extracted from the
urine of normal persons.
There is no indication, the report says.
as to which comes first, the sugar-raising
substance or the mental condition. It
may well be that the underlying physical
causes of schizophrenia may also pro-
duce this material At the least it
might prove of some value in accurate
diagnosis. It is not indicated that the
disease is in any way related to abnormal
amounts of blood sugar.

strong tendency to develop such diseases
as tuberculosis.
The indication is. however. that they
have some abnormality in metabolism or
in endocrine gland secretion which it
has been impossible to detect by ordinary
tests The Mellon Institute work is be-
ing carried on in cooperation with the

Chubb Crater Expedition

One of the most important scientific enter
prises of its kind ever attempted is the expedition
now being organized to visit the great crater in
Northern Quebec discovered by Frederick w.
Chubb last year. 1t is sponsored jointly by the
Royal Ontario Museum and the National Geo.
graphic Society," The leader will be DR.. Victor
Ben Meen. He made hurried preliminary trip
to the site in July 1885, Now he is to return
with five chosen colleagues to make systematic
effort tC read the riddle of what has been called
"a gaping wound in the face of the EARTH" in
hicted from 5000 to $4,000 summers ago.
Specifically the scientists wish to know the
agency which caused the injury. If it really was
a meteorite, as has been supposed by DR.. Meen,
it must have been very large and heavy one.
The crater is 22 miles wide. 1t was created
perhaps in less time than would be required
to tell the story in its briefest Ineligible form.
Something fell from the sky. It hit the granite
plain south of Ungava Bay with unimaginable
force. The impact raised wall of broken frag-
ments of rock roughly 500 feet above the normal
surface of the tundra. These scraps" range in
size from the equivalents Of baseballs to those
of boxcars. DR.. Meen says that the disturbance
spread in "concentrc rpples" in all directions
from the center of contact between the face OF
the earth and the intruding agent
The invading element referred to has been
mixed nickel and iron. Comparative study of
the much smaller crater near Winslow, Arizona,
indicates that the Chubb basin was caused by a
single missile No meteoric debris was found by
DR.. Meen during his first visit One Of the
principal reasons for his 1851 trip is to under
take further search for pieces Of shooting
stars trailing the major bullet, II no such
celestial dust is retrieved, there will be doubt
that the Canadian crater really is the work Of
a meteor A question of that character would
lead inevitably to the inquiry: What other
variety of power could be accountable for the
big bowl?
Volcanoes of course, build up rings Of rock
at their mouths; but it is molten matter that
they spew out and the granite walls of the
Chubb phenomenon never have been melted
they simply have been pulverized, more or less,
under the blow of the heaviest hammer possibly
ever applied to our planet. The gaping wound
of Northern Quebec almost certainly is not vol
canic in character. It much more likely was in
hicted by something perhaps 100000 times as
forceful as the A-bombs dropped on Japan In

deal Of searching, and the most COM
mon reply was. 1--WE don't know"
Ultimately the American experts
came up with formula declaring that
the peace" applied to all the Germans
with whom the United States and its
Allies were at war.
The British and some of the others
aren't so sure. Some Of them are in
clined to believe they still are enemies"
so far as Eastern Germany and Berlin
are concerned.
BY way of preparation the Western
German government itself had to de-
clare the peace. At the end Of May
its federal parliament in Bonn finally
struck from the law books the DEGREES
under which Hitler had waged his at
tack on the rest Of the world

It's Easier to Start q War Than End It

Poking around in the law books the
experts came up with some other curl
osities. The tiny grand duchy Of Liech-
tenstein, between Switzerland and Aus
tria. has been at war with Prussia since
1866, they discovered. Prussia since has
been legislated out of existence in the
days when the four -power control coun-
Gil still functioned. If Bonn is Prussia's
successor, it may have inherited war
1t knew nothing about.
Denmark is among the nations which
has declared its war with Germany at
an end, but 50 far as the Germans are
concerned legally there wasn't any such
war. Denmark was occupied, but its
government remained in Copenhagen
and was represented throughout by
minister in Berlin.
Israel. on the other hand, considers
itself still at war with Germany. But
that one doesn't appear on the German
books either. Israel did not come into
existence officially until long after the
shooting was ended.
- The Soviets and their satellites hold
the view that there is no such thing as
a declared peace" and that only a
formal treaty can end the war. Taking
their cues properly. the Eastern German
leaders have labeled the Allied program
a giant swindle, intended only to speed
up West German rearmament.
The Western Germans themselves are
very little concerned in all this swirling
paper that surrounds them. Immediately
it win affect only those who travel or
have business in foreign countries. They
now, for example. can sue or be sued in
an American court.
For most people the peace that has
come so curiously is no different than
yesterdays war.
