Advocate of .Male Beauty Is Answered What About Bald Heads? Among Challenging Points Raised. BY GRETTA PALMER Tlhim S|>eclal Writer NEW YORK, March 30— Men are more beautiful than women. We have the word of Dr. Louis E. Bisch. founder of the psychiatry bureau of the New York police department, for it. Now, Dr. Bisch, in his line of work, undoubtedly comes into con-

tact with many decorative men. New York's finest can produce some extremely comely members, and the uniform never hurts. The career of policewomen, on the other hand, never has been one to attract young women who had good Hollywood possibilities. There’s every reason for Dr. Bisch’s bias. Beauty parlors, says our de-

nouncer, exist simply because woman is less beautiful than man and must resort to artificial devices to Ret by at all. Also, he added in a recent speech, woman ages very rapidly, and unless she takes drastic measures she soon loses the modicum of good looks with which a prejudiced nature has endowed her. We yield to nobody in our appreciation of a personable young man. There are even some handsome gafTers of 65 or so at whom it is a pleasure to look. But has Dr. Bisch ever compared the esthetic claims of the two sexes on some such neutral ground as a subway car or a bathing beach? The woman who permits her waistline to spread out to thirty-two without taking stringent measures to correct the situation is looked upon by her sex as a rarity and a slattern. The middle-aged man W’hose waistline measures forty is regarded as a fellow of substance, with just the sort of figure one would expect of a man too busy with other matters to bother about as a beau ideal. Fat Gives Man “Substance” The woman of 50 may have to diet and corset herself within an inch of her life to keep her figure trim, but she does it. The man of 50 is apt to rpgard his growing girth as the normal accompaniment of a growing income. It is only when his doctor scares him half' out of his wits that he can be induced to set foot in a gymnasium or to think twice before taking a second helping of mince pie. Nature may have meant that women should fade more quickly than men; we do not know, and neither, with all respect to his M. D.„ does Dr. Bisch. But it is fairly evident that women have foiled nature with a very fair measure of success. The dancing grandmother of today may be a thorn in the side of her pastor, but she is a tribute to the diligence of her beauty specialist. Baldness Overlooked Perhaps it is unkind to bring up the question of the big hair handicap. But we didn’t start this thing, you know. Has Dr. Bisch studied these male marvels while they had their hats on? Or has he failed to Notice the fact that baldness, the greatest give-away of approaching middle age. is depressingly prevalent among American men?

A Woman's Viewpoint - BY MRS, WALTER FERGUSON

THE sorrows we inflict upon our children in the name of love are countless. A 19-year-old Ohio girl can not have boy friends because her mother thinks she is too young for such things. “I am not bad,” she writes. “Surely it is not wrong to be interested in boys, although mother says it is wicked of me to think of them. So I just sit at home twiddling my thumbs. Sometimes I feel as if I were suffocating. My mother loves, me, but why should she be so unreasonable?” The letter is signed, Jane. Dear Jane, only God understands mothers, and sometimes, I imagine, he finds it hard to reconcile their words with their behavior. By frightening you with life, your mother probably is reacting to some sorrrow suffered in her youth, some disillusionment from which she hopes to guard you. This attitude, of course, only most certain to descend on will increase the grief that is alyou both sooner or later. A woman w r ho has forgotten the longings of her own girlhood will alienate her daughter so far from her that they will never again be able to recapture the close friendliness that should exist between parent and child. Any 19-year-old girl, I should say, has a right to rebel at authority that would deprive her of the companionship and friendship of boys of her own age. Sometimes, I believe, there is nothing t,hat makes such a thoroughly bad child as a thoroughly good mother—a good mother, that

is, in the old sense of the term. One who hovers like a hen over a chick, who resorts to platitudes for instruction, and who keeps sternly to the adult, smug, married woman's point of view. The modem scene offers no more tragic sight than ihese Janes and their mothers. The country is full of them. Too many women without imagination trying to bring up girls according to the codes and customs of yesterday and too many daughters enduring inner conflict, love and duty battling against natural desires and the longing for life. In such struggles both suffer needlessly. But the burden of grief will, in the end, be borne by the mother, because the burden of responsibility for such * strife always is hers.
