Beautv Ban by General Can’t Work Chinese Leader's Edict Seen as Admission of Woman’s Power. BY HELEN WELSHIMER \EA Staff Wr.tcr WHEN General Chtang-K aiShrk of the Chinese National Army issued an edict the oth'm day forbidding his officers to marry women who bob or rurl their hair, he was taking a step to remove any unwise domination in the military forces.

He was chalking up a victory for modern woman, even while he wrote the terms of her defeat. Quite boldly the Chinese officer re c o gnized that a pretty woman may divert a man’s mind from gunpowder and cannon balls. Maybe you are wise in declaring your boycott, Gen-

eral Chiang-Kal-Shek. But human nature, human male nature, that is, having been developed along the lines which it has, it will take considerably more than edict or a firing squad to keep officers' eyes from falling to the ringlet lure. It is the surface view' that gets the first glance, always. Beauty may be only skin deep, but men, officers and otherwise, are prone to near-sighted moments. Women Repel The ultimatum is supposed to influence women to cast aside artificial beauty aids and trust that they will exercise sufficient attraction without painting themselves in false glamor. The general believes that they will find themselves wholly acceptable in the eyes of Chinese men and any beauty aids that encourage had morals will be abolished. If women accepted the responsibility the outcome would be easy. But the women from the land of the dragons and honeysuckle feel differently about it. The women of Peiping and Tintsin, dispatches say. are on the warpath. Shanghai and Nanking representatives are making public statements with a supporting view in mind, but deep in their minds the chances are quite probable that they resent the edict, too. Combats Ancient Custom From the very dawn of civilization women have adorned themselves to attract men. The industries which have to do with the glorification of the physical are paying increasing amounts of revenue. Cosmetics, bathing oils, perfumes, silks, scented soaps and powders— Solomon in ail his glory wouldn't have a chance against the average beauty layout of the modern woman, j True, Solomon was a man who went in for adornment, and yet he was blessed with all wisdom. Since women will continue to dress up and curl their hair and men will never stop admiring them for doing it. the situation which General Chiang Kai-Shek is sponsoring can't produce much happiness. Soldiers, being pledged to thp service of their country, will keep their vows. Nothing but a lot of heartache will develop. Or perhaps demoralization will follow a trend the Eastern war leader didn't consider. Lack Sacrificing Spirit Men will not make the sacrifices for love which women make. They will not abandon their careers. Love is not all their world. Having won their officers, women may obey orders and take the risk of appearing less beautiful. Only the other day a German girl, arrested in Paris as a military spy. explained that she had divulged no information. She had fallen in love wit h a young French officer and given up her secret service work because of her devotion to him. Yes. women will make the sacrifice. Unless it means a curl or a wave. But men can't. And when they do. they are not considered strong and honorable. After all. there are women who are better looking with straight hair. They aren't commanded to lessen their allure by crimping their strands. And as long as we are going into that just why do military officers like brass buttons and gold braid and rich colors and plumes and spurs. General Chiang - Kai-Shek? Maybe, if they followed a duller sartorial ensemble, the women wouldn't be tempted anyway.

I knew no end of suffering caused bv constipation.* I used all kinds of laxatives but only found relief till I got used to them. My physician told me to get some Kellogg's All-Bran, and instructed me how to use it. “I did just as I was told by my doctor, and today I send my highest praise for what your All-Bran has done for me.” Mrs. Jas. Maneely, Jr., 9 Kilburn St., Valley Falls, R. I. *Due to insufficient “ bulk ” in meaU. AIL-Bran provides gentle “hulk'' to help overcome common constipation. It is also a good source of vitamin B and iron. The “bulk” of All-Bran is often more effective than the “bulk” in fruits and vegetables, as it does not break down within the body. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. If not corrected this way, see your doctor. Isn't this food much pleasanter and safer than risking patent medicines?

Sleek Hips Ordained by Paris Edict Fullness Either Front or Back Also Part of Mode. By l'r\itr<l Frrs* PARlS—Gather ye fullness where ye will—back or front—but leave the hips sleek and smooth. This is the general rule to be followed as far as skirts are concerned. and whether you prefer front or back fullness should be guided by the shape of your own anatomy. The same rule can be applied to blouses. Many of the new ones shown by Paris houses of haute couture feature front fullness by means of smocking, gathers, shirring and intricate tucking, while the backs remain smooth and untrimmed. Other houses advocate back fullness in blouses, both for suits and the blouses of dresses, using the same means of gathering fullness, and letting the front surfaces remain somewhat skimpy and trimmed with novel buttons or embroidery. One reason for this emphasis on
