Girl Must
Work Hard
For Success
AP Newsfeatures

why can't | be POPULAR" That
is the anguished cry of many a
student. tired of being cleft out of
things"
If only someone would invent a
popularity capsule that eager types
could take to insure their social
success in a jiffy. But it doesn't
work that way. It's hard work
that requires stick-to-itiveness to
the project at hand. You just can t
dream yourself to popularity, if it
doesn't come naturally.
How to go about it?
One way IL TO be analytical to
discover why you are rot the little
magnet another is in corralling
friends. Study the most popular
girl you know to discover how she
wins friends. (a) Do people grav-
itate to her naturally or (b) does
she make a real effort to win them
over
How does she hold her friends
Is she witty? Kind? Brilliant? Sym
pathetic2
Is her attracsiveness due to ma
terial things? Clothes? A big al
lowance? Sporty car? Important
friends?
How do you stack up against
her as a type? You may find out
you have nothing in common. But
you may find the key to your own
personality in the process. 1t is
little things that contribute to pop
ularity. Put a number of them to-
gether and there you have it. Here
are some pointers suggested by
other girls who find they really
work if you'll just give yourself
a chance:
1. Be a cheerful earful. Put on
your brightest face in adversely.
Avoid dour countenance, whi-
ney manner that announces you
haven't real friend in the world" Z"
2. Consideration helps. Don't be
available just when someone asks
you to help. Go out of your way to
lend hand to others Ga new class
mate may be won over at once.
merely by offering to assist herr !.
8. You may scare would-be
friends away. Include others
around you "in" ON small conver-
sation. Whispered chatter fire.
quentlv makes others suspect that
you prefer to be aloof.
a. Play up your best point. Make
'em laugh, entertain at the piano
or harp or just be jolly good
audience without putting hero wor-
ship into your eyes.
5. Get your own dates. Don't de-
pend ON other girls to get you
dates and don't get "boyfriend
snatcher" reputation. That will
ruin you with other girls.
6. Be busy type. Avoid that
moping appearance that shivers
for a kind word. Look interested
in life, even if some days seem
darker than others.
z. Snob-technique doesn't work in
choosing friends. Many a girl has
learned to her sorrow the girl she
singled out to snub becomes the
most popular girl in the crowd.

Babies Cost
Less Today
Say Experts
BY RENE CAPPON

NEW YORK - Up - Having a
baby today is not only much safer
for everybody involved than it was
a generation ago, but it's actually
cheaper, the Health Information
Foundation reports.
Not that you pay fewer dollars
for doctors and hospital. But, HIF
says, if you adjust the figures for
imitation, present-day parents come
- out ahead flnancially-on paper,
anyhow.
A 1880 study of maternity costs
showed the average expenditure
per child was $3.50. Translated in
to today's cheaper currency that
would represent some $258.
Now, recent survey places av-
erage maternity cost at S213. And
that's about $45 or 1870 lower than
the real cost--in terms of purchas-
ing power-25 years ago.
This fact is as welcome as it
is startling" HIF President George
Bugbee commented. Maternity
care is a significant part of all
medical care"
Doctors Fees
He said the research founda-
tion's study showed that physi-
clans fees for maternity care r.
again measured in comparable
dollars" ~ have increased slightly
in the 25-year-period.
But this increase is small" he
noted" in view of the greater pro-
portion of physician time devoted
TO prenatal care and the increas-
ing proportion of total care being
given by specialists in obstetrics.
Charting the strides in matern-
ity care in the past generation, the
HIF also reported this striking
contrast:
In 1895, 63 per cent of American
babies were born outside hospitals
and 13 per cent of live births were
unattended by a physician. Today
almost 95 per cent of U. S. babies
make their debut in hospitals and
doctors duly preside over fully 81
per cent of all births.
Prenatal Care
Furthermore, the foundation
said, mothers in recent years av-
eraged nine consultations with
their physicians during the pre-
natal period.
The average hospital stay of OBJ
stetrical cases has been reduced
from u days 25 years ago TO 5,
the foundation said. and even "at
a higher cost per day of hospital
care, the average hospitalized pa
tient is paying less for hospital
care than in 1930-Se2 as con-
trasted with about s102 (compar
able doIlars).
