“It’s silly to buy a dress unless

Although his dresses come in

that they are worn by women of

“On my trips around the coun-

explaining to women that a jun-

an age. There are millions of

Cosmeticians at
Beauty School
Mrs. Estelle Ralston and Mrs.

Highlights of the school cov-

a new cream, Royal Treatment
cream, which contains royal jelly
from the queen bee.
A small trial size of the hair

new home permanent is called

• success of a young New York young girls want more sophistica-
1 tion in their dresses these days,
and fewer frills. That’s the theory
I work on, and it seems to make
sense.
Mr. Mort believes most women
get in a rut about their clothes,
and keep buying the same style
year after year, just because they
have one favorite dress. His ad-
vice:
“Don’t be afraid to be young.”
Persons most likely to take on
a home improvement task may
belong to any social or economic
group. However, the study re-
vealed that do-it-yourself today is
most prevalent among blue collar
workers. Seventeen per cent said
they would build their own homes.
According to the survey, the
old idea that a woman is fragile,
and dainty is no longer true.
Working with building tools is a
familiar chore to many women.
Also, most of them do not object
to going to a lumber yard them-
selves and making a purchase, if
the occasion requires it.
One-third of the men inter-
viewed in the study said their
wives actively participate in the
physical work. In two-thirds of
the cases wives actively parti ci
pate in home improvement deci-

Typhoon Threatens
Southern Formosa
TAIPEI, Formosa, April 23 OP)
—Southeast Formosa was under
threat today of a sideswipe by
typhoon Thelma. The storm,

per hour, would bypass Formosa

present course, but it would

sible damage.
ly interviewed nearly 1500 per-
sons at lumber yards and in
homes.
The survey used special ques
tioning techniques borrowed from
the social sciences. It sought to
determine who are the amateur
builders, why they undertake
projects, and how they shop for
materials.
Women not only start many
home projects and shop for some
building materials, but also ac-
tively participate in the actual
physical labor, the survey
showed.
"This indicates that the old
warehouse-type of lumber yard is
as old fashioned as the horse and
buggy,” Martineau said.
“The study shows there is a
definite need for appealing to
the female in color, styling and
decorative factors of building ma-
terials.

Honky-Tonkin’ Out
For Kentuckian, 102
LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 23 (P
—When you’re 102, says Uncle
Bud Clagg, "you don’t do much
honky-tonkin’. There are other
things.”
There’s always the back fence
gossip with other retired old-
sters in the neighborhood and
long discussions on fishing and
hunting.
Uncle Bud, who celebrates his
birthday today; says "I don’t
know who will win the coming
election, but I hope the right
man gets to be president.” He
then makes it plain he thinks the
"right man” is Adlai Stevenson.
A native of Bellefontaine, Ohio,
he worked 44 years for the Penn-
sylvania railroad, never missing
a day because of illness.
Uncle Bud doesn’t follow any
strict rules for longevity. He eats
no special foods. Nor does he
smoke any more. But he still
takes a little wine "to keep my
blood circulating.”

their wives sometimes share with
them.
Answers to the reason why
people undertake do-it-yourself

money some 40 per cent said it
was enjoyable.
People seem to have lots of
ambition. Thirty-seven per cent
said they’d like to build a home,
room, addition, garage, summer
house or kitchen.
Nearly half of the persons said
they have skill and know-how,
are handy, know what they’re do-
ing, are capable, good as a car-
penter or smart.
The worst thingabout building
something, said 37 per cent. is
making a mistake, lack of know-
how, getting it started, getting it
planned or finishing it.
In a section of the survey re-

of the women said they did, 24
per cent said the men did and 21
per cent said the decision was
shared equally by both.

Age Outlook
Counts, Says
Medical Prexy
GALVESTON, April 23 (P"_
Mental attitude toward age has
more to do with growing old
than most people will admit, the
president-elect of the American
Medical Assn, said yesterday.
"It is not age but the reaction
to age which is significant. There
can be no question but that the
mental attitude has more to do
with the process of aging than
most people will admit," Dr.
Dwight Murray of Napa, Calif.,
told the Texas Medical Assn.
He said society is already feel-
ing the pressure of economic is-
sues magnified by the increasing
portion of the aged in the popu-
lation.
The 1954 census showed 3,800,-
000 persons 65 and over with the
rate increasing about 400,000 a
year.
Dr. George Herrman, profes-
sor of the University of Texas
medical branch, was honored at
the close of the Texas Heart
Assn, meeting. A scroll was pre-
sented in recognition of his 25
years of teaching.
Dr. Holland Jackson, 47, of Fort
