Summer Fatigue
Not Imagination

1tAS uS
Not Imagination .4.
Better working practices can
save the homemaker a lot of un-
necessary fatigue during the hot
summer.
Hot weather taxes lot of
extra energy out of the human
body, explains Grace Ryan, exten-
sion home management specialist
at the University of Arizona. That
extra tiredness you feel during the
summer is real with nothing imagi-
nary about it. To counteract fa-
tigue and maintain good posture,
MOST homemakers can make few
little changes in their way of doing
housework.
A study of so farm women made
by Mrs. Ethel Watson Self and, Miss
Tessie Agan at Kansas State Col
lege, revealed that three-fourth of
them carried 35 to 45 pounds of
soiled clothing and household lin
ems from various parts of the house
to the laundry center. After getting
the laundry there they dumped it
on the floor for sorting. A lot of
energy was wasted bending over
and moving about.
A low table 26 inches off the
floor enabled the. women to stand
in good posture while sorting the
clothes. There was less strain on
the back and leg muscles and the
work was eased considerably.
Sorting on the floor permits good
posture only 12' per cent of the
time. The rest of the; time spent
laundry-sorting is spent bending at
an angle below As degrees. j.
| Also, the back strain of STOPPING
to pick up that 35 to As pounds OF
| laundry can be reduced if the
STOPPING is done in a squat position
with the back straight. The legs
will then carry most of the weight
of the load. ...~.. ......

NEW YORK, (GLOBAI4l=If:y If:you
are one of those women who would
like to be as young as your grand
daughter so, you could buy your
self a 'girlish" hat, here's the tip
you will go for. Versatile. Gloria
Swanson, popular movie star who
immortalized the moving picture
Sunset Boulevard" and who is
designer of fashion in her own
right, have given her sanction to,
this radical ieda:< sss-...<s =

ommend a two or three-generation
hat for women" :.
The petite star. who is now ac-
lively and successfully engaged
in building designing business,
one of her newer interests, contin.
ued in this vein, giving the gossign
to select youthful hats instead of
those that match your 40 or SO or
more years.
If women fall for Miss Swanson's
Eaccent-on-youth SUGGESTION and
many will for some had felt this
way already and only needed a
little shove to give hem courage
they will have an exciting collec-
ton of hats to choose from in the
fall. The hat lines are basically
the same, but by and large, the
chapeau artists have added, some
conspicuous little variations that
veil the difference between this
year and the last years styles.
Most of them are exceptionally
youthful looking. 1t is my opinion
that anyone of those be-your-age
die hards' is going to have pretty
tough trek finding headpieces to
suit her years.
The new numbers will sit nearer
the front and consist of pillboxes,
berets, toques, fezes and cloches.
They will be jewelled tand feath-
cred and wearerS have the choice
of barely exposing or totally con-
cealing the widows peak.
So far, dark colors predominant,
but at this early date it may be un-
safe to report color with any de-
gree of finality. Materials for the
most part, are the traditional vel
vets and felts, but some hats will
be made of beaver for those who
want to stand out from the heard.
| Another thing to look for is the
illusion of depth achieved at var
ious points along the sides by point
ed or curved lines. The crown may
be fashioned into cone, or fea-
ther or some other ornament may
shoot up from it.
In making your selection, be sure
to look for the little trick that gives
your hat subtly doop look. Real
ly, it will not be. very much deeper.
1t will only have that look.
And, be sure it has look of

Presidents Taft and Grant,

Chalk up to Charles Munich
and the Boston Symphony
and Hector Berlioz-one Of
this years noteworthy record
ingS.
After years of depending on
rare broadcasts and a few re-
corded excerpts to establish a
tenuous, though tantalizing.
acquaintance with Berlioz'
Romeo and Juliet" it seems
almost too good to be true to
have, all at once, the means
of achieving bosom friendship.
AS any one who has heard
Toscanini'S broadcasts or
come into possession Of one
of several previous Cincom-
plete) recordings knows, Ber-
lioz' Romeo" contains sin
gularIy potent, Sensuous music.
The magical Queen Nab
ScherZo" alone should pre-
dispose any one in its favor.
No admirer will claim that
the familiar orchestral ex-
cerpts are anything less than
intoxicating. To an extent that
few have had any way of ap-
preciating, however, the usu-
ally missing vocal portions are
far from expendable; so es-
Sential are they to full enjoy
ment of the music's contours
that 1t is the greater tribute
to Berlioz' genius that the ex-
cerptS have stood so long
alone, like pillars without a
floor or roof.
The bare fact is, half Of the
music has been missed.
At last, thanks to MUNICH
BoSton-Victor, Berlioz' great
edif1ce Is for record collectors
complete. And as with many
wholeS, the sum amounts to
considerably more than twice
the halves. Here Is not a group
of isolated orchestral essays,
beautiful in themselves but
without a context. Here, in
stead, is a musical drama
(though neither a play nor an
opera, Berlioz designating it

is intense, impaSsioned. ethere-

voice which it Is an architect

Extent Is Plain
The extent of the sacrilege
is plain from q mere list of
what one generally is denied
the portentouS opening or
chestral depletion of tumult,
stilled by the majesty of
princely horns; the prologue,
with orchestra, chorus and solo
cOntralto establishing the
ShakeSpearean setting and de-
lineating musical and dramatic
themes for later development;
the verses for contralto and
tenor solo, interludes preced-
ing emotional storms; the
choice, evocative little choral
prelude to the soaring love
music; the stately choral fu-
neral march after Juliet's
feigned death, and the entire
turbulent, magnificent finale,
in which Friar Laurence's in
toning baSso operates to calm
the warning voices of Mon
tagueS and Capulets.
Add to all this what we al
ready know-Romeo's reverie,

Emerling, all Of the New York

cessful campaigns in movie
business. prodded themselves
and each other for the right
answer.
Fortunately, there are a few
convincing precedents to help
the publicity men make up
their minds. During the past
decade at least a dozen i'm
portant movies featuring in
valided leads have been pro-
duced. Results have been ex-
cellent to poor. Some were
warmly and prof1tably re-
ceived. A few others died so
dismally they never got back
negative costs.
On the bright side-as a
spur perhaps to let the folks
know all about Wilding in ad-
vance-are such well-remem-
bered movies as Bette Davis
Dark Victory" and Arthur
Kennedy's Bright Victory,
In both, the leading characters
were either blind or fast ap-
preaching that state. In each
case, the picture was a top
financial draw.
Piling up more votes for the
"tell-all' advocates, there is
the example set by "The Best
Years of Our Lives" listed as
the best picture and the top
drawing card of 1946. The fol-
lowing March Hollywood
handed its producers an Acad-
emy Oscar. Foremost figure in
this after-war film, around
whom all action centered, was
Harold Russell, a handlesS

ers are puzzled today as to
what to do about the handicap

This is a new musically dra-
matte movie, due for stimuli
taneous release in three cities
Syracuse, Columbus and
Richmond - on October l,
hence time is short and the
boys must make up their minds
fast. Here is the puzzler:
Michael Wilding, an English
actor, better known in this
country as the, husband of
Elizabeth Taylor, plays the role
OF a blind concert pianist with
whom Joan falls in love. He is
absolutely sightless, led around
by a Seeing-Eye dog, but. in
all other respects, is per-
fectly normal. He is good
looking and charming-in fact.
there are many preview critics
who insist that he steals the
top performance = and from
Crawford, too!
But what the MGM ad
writer's would like to know, by
means Of a crystal ball or
anything else, is whether the
stressing of Wilding's handi-
cap will cause a reverse run on
the box Office. Or, on the
other hand, whether the sue
cessful romance of a man who
doesn't know what his best
gal looks like should be fea-
tured in a big build-up.

and the orchestral depletion Of
the lovers at the tomb, which
was included in the recent
Mitropoulos recording, and we
can begin to appreciate what
Berlioz was driving at.
Munich and his wonderful
orchestra do a fine job. I
am not especially taken with
the contralto, Margaret Rog-
gero, who seems rather too
cool, and the other two soloists.
Leslie Chabay and Yi-Kwei
SEE, are merely good. The
Harvard Radcliffe choristers
turn out surprisingly better
than one might anticipate.
Really, though. it's Munch's
show, and minor flaws dis
appear in the success Of the
whole. AS for the engineering,
it's about the best the Boston
Symphony has yet been &C
corded by Victor, which Is to
say it is excellent.
Personally, I have always
hoped for a complete ToSca-
mini recording, and Munich
successful as he is in invoking
the Berliozan image-doesn't
quite erase the wish. But at
this point its chances of full
fillment seem pretty slim. so
there seems no good reason for
delaying acquisitions course
hereby recommended.
One of the most diverting
examples of the charm Of the
18th century madrigal-about
as far as you can so from
Berloizan lushness-yet to ar
rive Is a piece called "Fes-
tino," by an Italian contempo-
rary of Monteverdi's, Adriano
Banchieri.
In q Light Vein
"Festino" was composed for
the feast day held just before
Lent. The relationship to feast
ing is more apparent than any
religious connotations, though,
for the music is decidedly in
a light vein. One song, dedi-
Gated to "bestial counterpoint,"
involves choice limitations Of
a dog, cat, owl and cuckoo;
another, devoted to "a winning
of toastS and talks" requires
everybody to drink a health,
after which he quits singing.
A third depicts, Of all things,
the striking of matches. There
are II others.
The Primavera Singers, led
by Noah Greenberg, do a prop
erly light-hearted job on all
this pleasant foolishness, with
a break now and then for an
interlude on the harpsichord-
like virginia.. The recording,
by Esoteric, is fine.
Madrigals of a soberer vein
are assembled on a Westmin-
ister disc. Monteverdi and a
composer named Gesualdo are
the originators here, and the
Randolph Singers perform per-
ceptively.

1T is true there lived a man

who was bishop of the Catholic

he said. "He was kind to the
poor. He had especial love for
the children and his feast is
kept by the Catholic Church
every year on December 6. &.
But because st. Nicholas {.
knew and loved Jesus as his
God and Saviour of the world,
he would never consent to take
the place Of Jesus at Christmas
time as the giver of gifts that
you all receive. God is the giver
of all good gifts and Jesus, who
is God is the real giver Of
the gifts that you will receive
today. tomorrow and on Christ

One of the little girls, 7-year-
