|\Exhibit of Contemporary British Art to [Suggests Wa | Pneumonia

- ‘By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer AVOIDING PNEUMONIA depends to a large degree on common sense measures for keeping up the body’s resistance. A vaccine has been developed against pneumococcal pneumonia, but medical scientists do not recommend it for general use, though it might be tried if an epidemic occurred. Another new mesaure doctors might try in case of a bad epidemic is prophylactic use of one of the new sulfa drugs, sulfadiazine. This was tried in a children’s institution where the young inmates were high-

durability of canvas or leather— these are some of the things in store for tomorrow. > There’s nylon, for instance. Before the war it was used principally for stockings and other sheer knitted articles. In using it for parachute fabric it has been discovered that it has good looming properties and that a pressure steaming process at the mill gives it a permanent “set.” Woven into marquisette or lace curtains it would, therefore, not only launder egsily but would retain its shape without being pinned to stretcher frames. The corrosion-proof screens promised for the future will be of nylon, too. Molten nylon, to which color

“Bubble” Upholstery

MAN-MADE fabrics expected to come into wide use after the war include plush, velvet, frieze and other pile fabrics said to be more crush-resistant than similar weaves made from natural fibers and to have arasion-resisting qualities exceeding those of silk, wool, cotton or linen. -Another discovery of. interest to home furnishers is formed of strands of transparent air-filled bubbles of cellulose resembling cellophane. The material, developed as a replacement for kapok and sponge rubber, has been tested for life jackets and padding and is consid-

Nurses Sought for Air Force Hospitals

An opportunity for nurses enlisting in the army to choose service at air force base hospitals has been made available by the war department, according to Miss Lillian Adams, Red Cross nurse recruiting secretary. : In letters sent to more than 2000 eligible nurses and student nurses, Miss Adams points out this is the first time in the history of nursing

a matter of choice. She said reting for this service will be ted to a few hundred. ,

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am a girl 18 and for the past two years I have been going with a fellow who is four years older than I am. He joined the coast guard six months ago and before he left he asked me to wait for him. I love him very much and I told him I'd wait for him which I sincerely meant to do, but four months after he left my. sister introduced me to a very nice young fellow who. asked me for a date. I was reluctant to accept but didn’t think I'd be doing any harm; so I went out roller-skating with him. One date led to another until one day my sweetheart from the coast guard came home on furlough. Naturally I gave up the other fellow and spent all the time I could with the first one. I told him that I had had a few dates and he was

so nice about it that I felt ashamed}.

of myself and even after he left to go back my conscience has been bothering me. Do you think there is anything I can do to ease it? I haven't gone ofit with anybody else since he went back to the coast guard. I love him very much and I am going to marry him when the war is over or maybe before. ED CONSCIENCE

8 8 8 Answer—There is nothing in your behavior as you relate it to bother anybody's conscience. - You had a few dates with another boy while your fiance was unavailable. When he came back you gave him all your time and found that he had lost nothing by comparison with another. How, I ask you, is an 18-year-old girl going to know that she has chosen wisely if she never sees another man?

Your fiance has behaved sensibly |

about the whole thing. He is willing to have his relationship with you put to the test. If it won't hold up under competition with others he realizes that it is not worth having One wonders why you should have such a guilty conscience over such a small incident. Perhaps you aren't as sure of your feelings as you think you are. You may have felt more attracted to the other boy than you are willing to admit but found it easy to forget him while your first love was home. ‘wou do not need a scolding. You need to use your head and not be afraid that you will lose your regard for one man simply because you see another occasionally. What you are trying to do is make a decision and you cannot do this by forcing yourself to think of no one but your absent lover when you want to go out with others and have a good

time. Don't bind yourself with |

ly susceptible to colds, coughs and pneumonia. During a winter outbreak of such ailments, the sulfadiazine apparently helped many of the children to escape pneumonia and to recover more quickly from severe feverish colds. Like the vaccine, however, this measure is not likely to be advised generally until further careful trials have been made. : 2 8 = ONE MEASURE that is generally advised for avoiding pneumonia is avoiding unusual exposure to cold and wet. This is especially important to remember this winter when homes, offices and schools are likely to be colder than we are used to having them. “The use of warm clothing, raincoats, umbrellas and rubbers has probably prevented many a case of pneumonia,” according to a statement from the U.S. Public Health Service. “A warm bath with a good rub-down, a change to dry clothing and a long night's sleep have been equally serviceable after exposure,”

states this same authority.
