Men and women of all parties
In all nations have an imperative
responsibility to reinforce the
United Nations in its continuous
struggle to hold the broken world
together without either the ap-
peasement Of tyranny or the drift
into q third world War, U. N.
Mediator Frank Graham said
last night.
DR.. Graham spoke at the
Woman's National Democratic
Club at a dinner sponsored by
the education committee.
"As has been variously said
by the chief ministers and lead
ers of the two opposing worlds
and the world between, the al
tentative at this stage to a third
world war is co-existence," the
speaker declared. "And the al
tentative to eo-existence Is no
existence"
He emphasized, however. that
"this co-existence. in the clear
words of the World Council Of
Churches, must be without sub
mission to. engulfment by or
appeasement of totalitarian tyr
amy" as
He also said that the period Of
co-existence must not be a static
and acquiescent period.
I'm seeking to prevent a pre-
carious co-existence from drift
ing either into appeasement or
into q third. world war;" he
added. "all parties, churches and
people Of good will need to
stand and work together for the
moral imperatives Of a dynamic

Tubby Hubby Diet

will give today's Question
Box over to questions connected
with my Tubby Hubby Diet,
which is running this week.
@. Can / go on this diet with
my husband or is 1t only for
men?"
A. You can diet right along
with him. However. you will not
lose as rapidly as he will. Actu-
ally my Nine-Day Diet Is for
women and The Tubby Hubby
Diet is for men. Men require
more calories even when reduc-
ing than women do because Of
their greater stature. II you
wish to use the same diet eat
smaller portions.
@. Can ] repeat this diet?"
A. Yes. 1t provides adequate
nutrition.
@. "How much will lose in
IL days if I am faithful about
the diet?"
A. People differ in how rapidly
they lose weight. This depends
partly on metabolism. When ]
planned this diet I guessed that
men would lose from Z to IL
pounds in IL days. Judging from
the letters have received and
the men I know who adopted
this diet, hit it right on the
nose. Many men lose 10 to IL
pounds and practically all OF
them lose at least seven.

Felt, as used in mems mats,
was mans first fabric. It was
originated in the Stone Age by
nomadic Asian tribes. and used
for hoods, tents and boots. Some
primitive peoples in the area still
make their felt as they did q
hundred centuries ago-spread-
ing sheep or camel wool In a
thick layer, sprinkling it with
water, then rolling it on a pole
and dragging the bundle behind
a camel across the desert to

FeIt's Rediscovery

st. Clement, the hatter's

rediscovered the art Of felting
after it was lost in the Dark
Ages. On a pilgrimage one day,
he put some rabbit fur in his
sandals to ease his feet. When
he removed the sandals at night,
he found q tight fabric, now
called felt, formed from the fur
by the days pressure. heat and
moisture. These three prin-
ciples, scientifically applied, are
still the means for making felt

Portable state of mind in

Europe says Brisson-even in
countries like England and
Italy where the men pride
themselves on their appear

men as far as elegance goes,
giving the nod completely to
the Italians. Though he ad-
mires British tailoring greatly
Swedish tailors are the best
he claims), the big. blond
Dane says they are "too con-

even that atmosphere is being

of men. 'How can you create

has designed a white pique
backless evening vestcoat and

too many important figures in
the entertainment business are
also guilty Of this sloppy ap-
proach. It's bad for the young
boys who look up to them.
In his own fashion life. Bris-
son, wouldn't do anything that
wasn't right. It's an art. he
feels, for a man to be really
well-dressed. It takes time.
and in America there's less Of
that than anything else.

today is as comfortable as any
