Woman's Viewpoint— 6 No Wonder Women \ ' ’ Are Crazier MRS. WALTER . FERGUSON Scripps-Howard Staff Writer A NOTED psychiatrist says women are 20 per cent. crazier than men. Never did we doubt ft. We're crazier because it's such a strain trying to figure what men

he gives her. She has to be a good’ listener when he wants to talk and a sparkling -conversationalist has friends to impress. She is expected to be a chauffeur, an expert marketer and dietician, a gracious hostess, a sociable drinker, swell dresser on what's left of e housekeeping allowance and a moral guide for the family. All this, besides holding his wavering affections, is bound to. give any woman a split ‘personality, sure sign of mental illness. » » » THE SANER sex also runs our political business as if it were a football game, National fate often hinges. upon which demagogs can outshout the other. Men love the game and play it well while lecturing women on civic duty. Now and then they break the] monotony with a Big bloody war, and ask us in to help them. Between times they construct new weapons and think up new ways of adding to the difficulties of living. It's’ no wonder we're crazy. The individual man is enough to drive a woman nuts, Collectively speaking he is heading everybody into the insane asylum.

noon by Ayres’, By LOUISE FLETCHER

Times Woman's Editor THE DESIGNERS who “do their stuff” in fabrics are in for

more and more competition from -

those who dream up their garments in fur. Just about the only fabric treatment that hasn't been duplicated in fur is cut-work embroi-

dery—and maybe that will be along

any minute. In a showing of Fredrica furs this afternoon at Ayres’, peltries found themselves metallic-em-broidered, gathered, draped, pleated and putfed just as suavely as any fabric. As Walter Schwartz of the firm of Schwartz and Bluestein (makers of the Fredrica collection) says, “A fur coat isn't just a ‘coverall’ garment anymore. It has definite style.” Mr. Schwartz, who handles the administrative details of his firm as well as serves as style consultant, was here for the showing. A second firm member, Ernest Moreland, will be here tomorrow,

| too, as the garments in today's

show are displayed in: Ayres’ fur department, o » » BIGGEST STYLE points in the Fredrica collection are sleeves. As the firm's representatives pointed out, sleeves are far larger than any ever before attempted. The souffle sleeve—named after

But there are gauntlet-cuffed bishop sleeves, modified dolmans, puffed elbow numbers tapering down to fitted wrists, and wide bell sleeves, as well.

Health Menace

In Increase

Of Diphtheria

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Staff Writer ALTHOUGH INFANTILE paralysis has been the most prominent disease in recent weeks, health and medical authorities dre also concerned over the increasing number

of diphtheria cases. With the development of antitoxin for treatment and toxoid for prevention, this disease had become one of those which seemed all but conquered. Now it presents a fresh menace to health, For your own and your children’s protection you should know about the two weapons against the disease. Toxoid is made by treating the diphtheria toxin, or poison, so that it will not cause disease when injected into the body but will call forth production of antibodies. These ‘are defensive forces of the body which arise to fight invading disease germs or their poisons. Antitoxin, as its name suggests, acts against the poison of the germs, It is a life-saver If given in time, but a delay of three or four days may make it too late for the antitoxin to do any good. Diphtheria usually starts with a sore throat and a little fever, between one and 10 days after catching the germs. If you have a sore throat with fever, play safe and call your doctor so that if you have diphtheria antitoxin can be given in time,

PAGE 25 Liquid Soap Softens Gloves

By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer THERE'S A WAY to lick the bad habits of leather gloves—coming out of the wash as stiff as stalage tites—which can make them the reformer * problem- child of any woman's wardrobe, = : The correction lies in laundering with a dependable glove wash. One is new, Formulated by research chemists who have worked for years with the tanning industries, the new liquid shampoo comes out with the blessings of an entire associa tion of American glove makers, » » n WHAT THE new product does in order to rate such an indorsement is to clean gloves and at the

same time restore oils usually drained from skins by washing, These must be restored, it seems, if washable leathers are to come out soft and supple. J The new liquid shampoo, makers claim, will make home-laundering safe for many gloves which women hesitate to dunk. They warn you, however, that before giving the basin method and their product a whirl. you should make sure that gloves are marked washable or are sold as such. There are many leather gloves, of course, which ree quire dry cleaning.
