Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
daughter is bothered by ex-
cess hair on her face. A
friend of ours advised us to
go to an X-ray specialist for
treatments. What is your
opinion? Mrs. K, Ohio.
IN MANY OF my answers
here I hedge. I consider this
essential because no doctor
should ever attempt to give
anyone specific advice unless
he has had the opportunity
to see the actual patient.
Otherwise it comes down to
dangerous guessing. AL ! can
hope to do is to guide you
safely until you get to your
own doctor.
But this is one time I won't
hesitate to say NO. Don't
subject your daughters face
to the dangers Of X-ray
treatments for hair removal.
For it is usually true that the
amount Of X-rays needed to
destroy the hair follicleS
permanently may also per-
manently damage the skin.
It is one thing to use X-rays
effectively in stubborn cases
of ringworm of the scalp and
quite another to take the
chance Of a permanent skin
Inflammation or, even worse,
cancer of the skin.
I repeat it. I won't hedge.
Don't let your friend = or
anyone else-talk your daugh-
ter into taking X-ray treat
ments for removal Of facial
hair.
But what next? Ihave seen
hundreds of self-conscious,
unhappy women bedevilled
by excess facial hair. They
would say: II see your point,
doctor. I won't take the
chance on having X-ray
treatments on my face. But
where do I go from here? I
must try SOMETHING"
I would tell them that
''hirsutism" Excessive hair

study before specific treat
ment is chosen. We must
make sure that we don't
treat it hit-or-miss. Proper
investigation may show that
one Of the glands Of internal
secretion is a factor (pitui-
tary, adrenals or ovaries)
For example, we know that
such problems often arise Cor

as puberty, pregnancy and
during the menopause. Many
women begin to grow excess

reasons. When we stop this

It had to happen. Ameri-
ca has been hit with a group
Of books that tell how to
make q fortune in your spare
time. There is, it seems. mil
lions Of dollars in everything.
One book tells how to make
o couple Of million in Wall
Street. Another tells how to
make q fortune cutting up
those old camera negatives
into mandolin picks; q third
tells me how to get rich on
my way to the shower.
Now Carl Winston has
come through with a book
that appeals to my sense Of
humor. It is called "How To
Run a Million Into q Shoe
string" Mr.. Winston is a
veteran spoofer. Everything
is hilarious to him except his
bank account and the look
Mrs. Winston gives him.
Carl used to be a news
paper magazine writer. He
is as dark as Nehru. has q
voice that sounds like Lodge.
and is as funny as Khru-
Shchev. The combination Of
such extraordinary talent is,
at the least, intriguing. The
book Is published by Putnam
and sells for $1.50.
In it, Winston poses as the
soul-simplifler, the man who
can solve the problems Of
others. He tells, for example,
Of q man named Henry who
could not remember his
wife'S name. eft was the late
Andrew Carnegie" writes the
author, who said: Show me
q man who can't remember
his wife's name and I'll show
you q man with Jumps on his

II told Henry to write his
wife's name on q large black
board one thousand times
every morning Immediately
after breakfast. You
would never have recognized
Henry If you'd seen him in
my Office three weeks later.
"He had gained at least

Bootleggers OutselIing
Bars in South Africo

JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa, Oct. 7 (AP). South
Africa's bootleggers are OUT
selling legal bars and package
stores this year.
The government acknowl-
edges that about SIS per cent of
South Africa's total liquor
production reaches the public
through the illegal market.
The liquor commission says
traffic in bootleg liquor is COM
pletely out Of hand.
Home distillers find vast
scope in this country for dis
tributing their witblitz (white
lightning). cane spirit and
other gin-like drinks.
The Negro population Of more

Sure. they still come on by
for their rake-off. A couple Of
bottles keeps 'em quiet for a
week-and can afford it."
Whites Make Liquor, Too
Nonwhites are not the only
ones who have climbed on the
Illicit liquor bandwagon. Many
lower-income whites figure they
can pick up good money by
peddling bad liquor. They fer
ment pineapple skins, black
berries, potatoes and a variety
of other things in barrels.
Other whites have developed
liquor making in hobby. The
father of a family will have
his private distilling apparatus
in a workshop or barn.
The liquor commission has
suggested that a new approach
is needed-that all kinds of
liquor be made available to the
public no matter what color,
race or creed he belongs to.
It's hard to imagine the gov
ernment agreeing to this. The
official view is that the African
will destry himself if given un-
limited hard liqur. And these
people make up South Africa's
entire labor force.

Eva is jealouS-and how! If
I so much as flicker an eye
lash in the direction Of an
other woman she is up in
arms. The woman doesn't
even have to be real. She
could be a picture in q mag
azine or on the TV screen.
Eva just goes nuts If I say
"Wow!"
Eva MI don't think I'm
any more jealous than the
next woman. No woman
likes to see her husband
looking at others.
The worst of it is that
since we've been married I
haven't looked very well. I
became pregnant shortly
after marriage. Then I was
too busy taking care Of the
baby to bother much with
myself. Now ! am pregnant
again. At times like these it
certainly hurts to have your
husband making comments
about how other women are
shaped.
Jimmy keeps saying Moth
ing matters as long as he is
faithful, but I think that
looking at other women is
almost q kind Of unfaithful-
ness.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
The masculine and feminine
points Of view win always diff
fer somewhat on this sub
ject. But there is a third
point Of view-that Of ordi-
nary human consideration.
We have the strong impress
sion that Jimmy either lacks
this or Is deliberately teasing
his wife because he likes to
hear her holler "Ouch!" to
his "Wow!"
Eva has made 1t clear that
she is distressed by his COM
mentS. At the time when her
husbands devotion and ap-
probation are most impor-
tant-the pregnacy period
he has chosen to upset and
hurt her. This is certainly
bad taste and bad husband
ship.
Many men feel more or
less obligated to make a great
display Of their interest in
women. In such cases, this
really has more to do with
ego than with sex. The man
feels he is undermining his
status as a red-blooded he
man. Possibly this is the
real motive behind Jimmy's
behavior.
Should all married men
avoid looking at or appreciat-
ing feminine attractiveness?
Most wives don't want to kill
OF the wolf in a man-mere-
ly to domesticate the animal
a bit.

LIFE Is A GREAT adventure.
Lived well, it can be beautiful,
filled with goodwill and cheer,
brilliant with usefulness - an
inspiration and a joy to others.
But life can also be drab, un-
eventful, monotonous. It may
be warped and distorted by
feelings Of jealousy, envy and
hatred.
The richness Of your life de-
pends largely on how you live
1.-THE way you think, the at
titude you take toward others,
the Interpretation you place on
things.
When you follow a worthy
ideal, when you aim high, be-
lieve in yourself, have faith in
others, love one another, be
helpful, serve faithfully, then
your life Is richness ITSELF
Because as you give, so will you
receive. This is the basic law
of life.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US
views life a little differently
To some, life is a comedy; to
others a tragedy. Some people
see life as. a wonderful oppor.
tunity, while to others, 1t is q
veil of tears.
But, after all, life is just
about what you make Of it. II
is not what you take from life
that counts, but what you give
what you put into it, that brings
