Population Increase
Predicted as Boon
For Businessmen

Carl F. Occhsle, Deputy As
sistant Secretary of Commerce
today predicted good days ahead
for businessmen because of an
anticipated % million popula-
ton increase in the United States
this decaded.
Speaking at the opening ses-
sion of two-day meeting of the
Chemical. Market Research AS
sociation and the American
Chemical Society's Division of
Chemical Marketing and Eco
nomics at the Shoreham Hotel,
he declared:
1--WE shall have a dynamic,
growing economy for many years
to come.
Our population, which gained
19 million from 1910 to 1850, is
estimated to grow another %
million during this decade. That
will be the equivalent of adding
to our market in the space of 10
years more than the three States
of New York, Nebraska and Cali
fornia.
Our markets will continue to
grow not only in size but in the
buying power of each indi-
vidual."

dressed by 40 Federal officials

Congress would pay back CCC

spot as a chorus of happy voices
rang out in the familiar Happy
Birthday" song.
Mrs. Gill was escorted first to
the 9th grade hall, then to the
5th, and last to the 3rd and 4th
grade halls. At each stop, grade
groups made presentations, con-
sisting of cards, gifts and flowers.
At what Mrs. Gill, no doubt
thought, was the end of a very
happy period, she returned to her
office for a moments pause, only
to be greeted by another sur
prise, more gifts and flowers.

By Fathers S Ban
Against Dating
By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: AL
though I am almost 10. my
father has just recently granted
me permission to date. He gave
in only because I am a freshman
in college, and some school ac-
tivities necessitate my being out
at night occasionally. However,
I must always be in by 1890.
The trouble is, that now I find
myself a very maladjusted per-
son socially. I get along with
everyone in school-except the
young men. I have made a few
male friends, but have no dates.
would like to get into the fun.
Do you think my father has
ruined my life completely by his
strictness, or do you think there's
still a chance for me to have fun
in college? MIG.
ANSWER: While your father
certainly retarded your social de-
'velopment, he hasn't ruined it,
by any means. It would take
more than that to stunt the So
cial growth of an attractive. in
telligent, well-educated young
lady of 10.
You should get into all the
classes, and all the activities pos
sible, that are favored by the
male students. If you have an
aptitude for science, concentrate
on classes in that field; join one
or two hobby clubs in such activ-
tiles as photography or stamp
collecting; learn to participate
in sports-don't be a spectator
all the time.
Your big effort must come in
learning to accept men friends
as you do girl friends-without
self consciousness, or an obvious
effort to please and attract. Help
in this field may be found in a
psychology course. These SuggeS-
tions may sound as if I'm urging
a concentration for a degree in
"man-catching." This is only
partly true. Naturally the prime
consideration of college is to get
an education, but any education
that neglects the social side of
life is not complete. Any knowl-
edge you acquire will be rela-
lively barren if it doesn't include
an aptitude for getting along
with people-male or female.
After all. you don't expect to
make a living as a hermit. and
unless you leave your Alma
/ Mater with good-fellowship, as
we'll as a degree, your education
'has failed in its full purpose.
! Why else do you think schools
devote so much time to extra
curricular activities?
| DEAR MISS NISSEN: We
have been married for four
years, and have 2-year- old
baby. I have been working for
! the past several months in order
to help us get a home Of our
own. However. instead of help
I ing me save, my husband is buy
ing rather expensive sports
equipment such as golf clubs and
! guns. Our arguments on the
subject are getting so bitter that
I sometimes think it would be
better if didn't work.
ELLEN K.
+ ANSWER: The source Of all
your trouble lies in your job. You
have taken over the responsible
/ ity of saving towards home,
and your husband is perfectly
willing to shift the burden to
your shoulders. Give up the job

Most women are pretty rea-
sonable in their approach to life.
Occasionally, though. I get an
astonishing letter. such as the
following:
81 am 81 years old, the mother
Of three young children. My hus-
band is very stingy and I never
have any money to spend on
myself. OF course. he isn't max
ing very much, but even so he
has no idea what a terrible exist
ence I have.
"I desperately need work I can
do at home that will bring in
about $50 a week. Don't tell me
to do any sales work on commits
sion, because all my friends are
poor, too. I love to type and I
don't see why companies are so
stupid about farming out tipping
to women like me. It isn't my
fault that am stuck in this po-
sition, and you'd certainty think
that society would do something
to make it a little bit easier.
II have told employers that
they are crazy; that they ought

a decent salary. I would go out

dren would be, better off in al

Magic
in
Being Neat
By EIeni

What makes some women
always look so well-dressed
during the summer and others
as if they gave up the idea for
whole season or at least until
the weather turns cooler?
The answer, we think, lies in
good grooming and in the choice
Of a costume that makes the
Wearer feel sure of being in good
taste and still comfortable. In
evitably the simplest type Of
dress wins out.
The subject of good grooming
is such an important one, that
even the great American de-
signer, Norman Norell, brought
it up in a recent interview. He
commented that there is really
no fashion that can be consid-
cred truly beautiful unless the
woman wearing it is immacu-
lately groomed. Price has noth-
ing to do with it. An expensive
little "numero" can look as hor-
rible as any inexpensive creation
when the woman wearing it has
Straggly unkempt hair, badly
kept nails, and is guilty of other
glaring good grooming faults.
In the summer time when so
many fashions show so much
expanse of skin there are some
"musts" that should be attended
to as part of any organized good
grooming ritual. Underneath the
arms clearance is one. Hairy
legs are also ruled out if your
sandals and sheer, sheer hose
are to look their prettiest. Your
feet should give the appearance
of being pampered members of
your body. So away with scaly
heels. corns and callouses!
A deodorant should never be
forgotten at any time. Nor
should a woman neglect to spray
herself with a lovely fragrance
whenever she can.
No makeup job, no matter how
perfectly applied in the morning.
was ever meant to go on through
the day without a bit of a touch
up" The well-groomed woman
knows a "refresher course will
help keep her spirits up during
the day and allow her to stay
away from the wilted lettuce
like look that's so prevalent in
the hot weather.
There's no magic involved in
the way some women always
look neat, composed, and attrac-
tive. It's all tied up with proper
planning to insure this look from
the time they wake up in the
morning til they go to bed that
evening.
Elementary, you'll all agree.
But how many women do you
know who can lay claim to the
title of being well-groomed the
year round?
