WHY CROW oLD2
Notes on
Hand
Care
BY JOSEPHINE LOwMAN


REGISTER and Tribune Syndicate
If we think for q minute
about the construction Of the
skin. we will readily under
stand why wet work" or the
constant immersion Of hands
in water win make them more
susceptible to roughness and
dermatitis.
The skin is composed Of
layers of cells which con-
stantly move toward the sur
face where they eventually
shed. In the process Of NOV
ing UP they form q horny
layer which is made up al
most entirely Of keratin cells:
these act as q protective man
tie for the skin. These cells
swell and soften when hands
are soaked in water so that
they wash of faster than
they can be replaced.
Lower Layer Exposed
Unprotected by keratin
cells, or the horny layer, the
vulnerable lower layer Of
the skin is exposed to harsh
household agents, bacteria
and fungi, creating a condi-
ton which may lead to in
lection. l think that most
authorities agree that wet
work is one Of the main
hazards to hand beauty and
health.
Surveys indicate that &C.
zema fiare-upS Of the hands

ing the first 10 months alter
the birth Of a child. due in
part at least to the tremen-
dous amount of wet work
the young mother mist do.
One young mother whose
routine was closest to the
average of those interviewed
was the mother of a 5-month-
old daughter and a Swear
old son. She kept her hands
wet approximately three
hours a week handling baby's
diapers and an equal time
washing dishes.
Washing and sterilizing
baby's bottles and preparing
the formula, a scalding job
for which the hands need
protection, required 119 min
utes a week.

Civil Engineer Corps, headed
by Rear Admiral Eugene j.
Peltier, Chief of the Bureau
Of Yards and Docks will be in
the company attending the
exercises together with many
from various fields of scien-
tif1c endeavor.
Admiral Peary foresaw the
Importance of the Arctic at
a time when his expeditions
seemed merely a stunt to
most of the world. The April
6 f.oTSh Pole discovery date
was also made the occasion
for the issuance of a Polar
Exploration Commemorative
Stamp. 1t will be released on
that morning by the Post Of
flee Department.
The adventurous North
Pole discoverer and famous
civil engineer officer was
married to an equally VEN
tureSome lady, the former
Josephine Diebitsch, daugh-
ter of a Smithsonian InSti-
tute professor.
She accompanied her ex-
plorer husband on his early
expeditions and became the
first Arctic heroine, later to
be recognized as an explorer
in her own right.
Born September IL, 1893
at Englefleld Gulf. Green
land l3 degrees from the
North Pole), Marie Peary was
the first white baby to be
born in the Far North.
Entire Eskimo families
journeyed from far away
Cape York to the south and
from Etah in the north to
satisfy themselves by actual
touch that she was really a
creature of warm flesh and
blood, and not of snow as
they at first believed when
they gave hel the name of
Snow Baby"
Author
Mrs. Stafford, now a grand
mother seven times, is tall,
blue eyed and quite hand

much feted while in Washing
ton where she spent a great
deal of her early married life
with the late Edward Stat
ford.
