Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
What kinds Of tests are used
to determine basal metabo-
lism? Are they PAINFUL
Miss A., Indiana.
YOU CAN HAVE q basal
metabolism test or one of
the bloodiodine tests. None
Of these are especially pain
full.
All you do In a basal
metaboliSm test Is lie down
breathing pure oxygen. Most
people don't mind it at all.
AS for the blood-iodine
determination, all you feel is
a tiny needle prick as the
doctor withdraws a sample
Of blood. You go your merry
way and laboratory takes
care of the rest.
Some doctors feel that the
basal metabolism test is suf-
ficiently accurate If care
fully performed. Others like
to check questionable results
with the blood tests.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
had a complete hyster-
ectomy about q year-and-a-
half ago. So far I have not
received any medical treat
ment except nerve pills.
DR.. A. says he doesn't be-
heve in hormone treatment.
DR.. B. says I have little
emotional control, and why
suffer unnecessarily? He sug-
gestS I take hormones.
Who are you with?-Mrs.
w.. Kentucky.
PUT ME at the bottom of
the class with DR.. B.
If you have high blood
pressure, don't be too anx-
iouS to know Just how mony
points 1t has risen or fallen
since your last checkup. All
you need know is If it is
higher or lower: worse or
better. So many anxious
patients watch the doctor
intently when he takes the
pressure and can hardly
wait to ask: How many
points is the reading To-
day?" Relax, If you can,
Leave all the arithmetic to
your doctor. All you should
be interested in is how you
feel and how things are
coming along.

White Lie
Stirs Feud
With Wife
BY MRS. ALMA DENNY
THE PROBLEM

BY MRS. ALMA DENNY
THE PROBLEM
AnnabeIle MI he lied
once. hen he again. How
can I trust him2
Ross Mt was q white
lie, to avoid complicated ex-
plantations.
THE DETAILS
Annabelle M.-The best
thing about Ross and me
was that we could say any
thing to each other. could
relax and speak our mind.
Since we know each other
from high school days, there
were no secrets.
That's why I never
dreamed of doubling him
when he said he'd be home
late last Wednesday because
Of a bowling match. It SO
happened I needed Ross for,
an emergency. Our little boy
had a bad fall down the eel
lar steps, and the doctor had
to take a few stitches in his
forehead. To my horror, Ross
wasn't at the alleys. His
team wasn't even playing
that night.
Ever since, he's been so
sore at me for raising such
a fuss that he still hasn't
told me the, truth. I'm the
one who should be angry. I
always trusted him COM
pletely. Now I feel I
shouldn't have! ..
Ross M.-Anne is looking
for trouble where none exists.
Her doubts and insinuationS
have hurt me so badly, I de-
cided to clam up and keep
her guessing. After all these
years, who should have more
faith in me and know that
If I've made up a story"
it's to benefit her, not to
hurt her.
Our firm is going through
a reorganization. A crisis in
the industry is at hand, and
there's even a possibility of
this branch closing down. I
didn't want to tell Annabelle.
Maybe it would all blow over
and she'd worry needlessly.
So, rather than explain in
detail, I took my bowling
things along in the car and
said I'd be home late be-
cause Of the match.
I'm sorry for the snafu.
And If that's the thanks I
get for trying to spare her,
I'll dump all my worries on
her from now on. "
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Ross is being completely
honest about one thing, An
nabelle-he's furious with
you! First, you couldn't take
a little mercy-lie. Second,
you're branding him dis
honest, past. present and fu-,
ture imperfect!
Here we have q man who
thought his wife couldn't
take a business problem
straight, so doctored it UP;
and a wife who wants the
truth, the whole truth, and
nothing about bowling al
leys to spare" her!
Look here, Amabelle, come
off it. We agree with Ross
that you're blowing things
up, overdramatizing this in
cident to settle more than
meets the eye. All you really
need to squeeze out Of this
freak sequence Of events is
the assurance that deep
down, Ross is basically open
and STRAIGHTFORWARD with
you. Your own elf-doubtS
and imagination seem to be
behind your hurtful suspi-
cion and insinuations.
OF course there may be
some good in this i'll ripple,
because Ross won't make q
habit Of concealing. mislead-
ing and misinforming his
wife as some husbands do.
innocently at first, then con-
veniently and unnecessarily. :
His wife, he must remember,
is q helpmate. So she must
know the true predicament.
Looking back, Annabelle
can understand and even ap-
prove. Looking ahead, how
ever, they both see how
closely love is bound up with
trust. '

Fall Fashion Flares
To Front And Side
by JEAN SPRAIN WILSON
Ap Fashion Writer

~ w
NEW YORK (AP)-Fall fashion
will have its side effects this year.
Not content with what they have
been doing backwards and forwards
and up and down, the 81 designer
members of the New York Couture
Group showing their collections du-
ring Fashion Press Week here are
now working sideways and diagon-
ally.
A side kick is their chief ally,
to the hip flare silhouette of the
past two seasons. Although fall suit
and dresses still flounce and pleat
all the way around. many more
swing full from the sides. In some
instances softly rolled or stitched
down pleats edge to the thighs and
then fall loosely. Or inserted cores
and box pleats start from side hip
height.
Waistlines wander high and low,
but very often both ways at the
same time. On soft wool jersey and
crepe daytime dresses tucks and
pleats drop away from obliquely di-
vided middles.
Formal wear too is designed with
side chances in mind. Filmy fab
rics cut on a bias are tucked and
draped from one shoulder, (the,
other probably bare) nodded subt-
ly over the figure. and topped by
diaphanous stoles that tie at the
neck and flutter cloudlike from one
side.
Even new capes which evolved
out of last winters tent like coats
hand slim without a single fold
front or back. with all the fullness
cut into the shoulder for side ris-
ing wings.
But do not let it be said that
back and front styles have remain
ed status quo. Some Couture MEM
bers still cling to the simplicity of
bare armed. bare necked nothing"
dresses in their collections, despite
potential wintry chills. But others
go to extreme by slashing dress
backs in a spine chilling depth.
While still others reverse the pro-
cedure by wrapping up necks in
double ring collars or nosetickling
fur.
