Girls You'd Be Surprised How
Much You Get Along Without
Women of Gay Nineties Did
All Right Without So Much
How did women manage to be
beautiful in the days before com
pacts, lipsticks, creams and perma
nent waves? That's a question we
are all asking now that government
priorities threaten to deprive us of
many of the beauty aids we’ve al
ways taken for granted
It’s interesting to look back and
see just how much time and trouble
a woman in 1882 needed to emerge
from the beauty parlor looking
glamorous and lovely. Sixty years
ago a woman planned in advance to
take a day off to go to the hair
dresser’s if she wanted a shampoo
and curl. If any dyeing or tinting
was needed, she might plan to
spend a couple of days there be
cause it meant many applications
and hours of drying for each one!
LONG AND TIRESOME
Her hair was shamnooed and
dre~sed, carefully .and tediously by
an expert in the art of coiffure
<usually a man.) After that she sat
fcr hours while two girl attend
ants faned her with palm leaf
fans to dry her hair. It was long
and tiresome but she sat grimly
through it.
Her cosmetics were put up if
small bottles by the owner cf the
establishment to which she en
trusted her beauty. He saved bot
tles, filled them with preparation?
he used in his shop, wrote the
labels by hand, and sold the bot
tles to his customers to take home
with them. They, in turn, saved
the bottles and took them back
from time to time to be refilled.
That’s the picture of the hair
dressing parlor as grandmother
knew it. We are indebted to Mr
C. W. Godefroy of the Godefroy
Manufacturing Co., St. Louis, who
•recently, in connection with the
celebration of the Sixtieth Anni
versary of his well-known cosmetic
firm made these interesting facts
public.
INVENTED IRON
It is also a matter of record that
many of the modern appliance?
used in present-day shops can bf
traced back to Mr. A. F. Godefroy
founder of the Godefroy Company
who did much pioneering work ir
the beauty and ccsmetic field. Dis
satisfied with the gas curling iror
used in the 80’s Godefroy went t<
work and inver ted an electric
curling iron which he patented ii'
1888. However, only the braves
of his customers would let him
use it, because electricity was con
sidered very dangerous in those
days.
Later Mr. Godefroy invented the
first electric hot-blast hair dryer
designed to speed up the lengthy
process of drying hair. This dryer,
which looked a great deal like a
stcve-pipe, was the parent of the
efficient hair dryer we know to
day. Unfortunately, Godefroy
didn’t patent this remarkable in
vent ion at all because his business
advisers pointed out that there
would never be a market for more
than a few of them throughout the
country . . . not even enough to
justify the costs of a patent.
SAVE YOUR JARS
Today we are at war! We are go
ing to have to learn to get along
with fewer beauty aids and less
mechanical service. We are all
urged to save the Jars and bottles
our cosmetics come in so that they
can be refilled. Old lipstick con
' ainers and metal compacts take
m a new importance, and we must
ise them as long as possible be
’ause the metal that formerly went
nto them must now be used for
lombers and tanks. Fewer creams
vill be on the market, but the wo
nen of America who have always
\ad more than women of other
ountries know that they can get
ilong . . and that after the war
s over, even greater conveniences
vill be offered them!

Diet Controls
Condition Of
Your Teeth
By HELEN JAMESON
(Distributed by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
Finicky eaters have more beauty
griefs than they can bear. They
may wail about a dry skin, hair
that looks dead to the world, fin
ger nails that break, impaired eye
sight or teeth that are constantly
demanding professional attention.
The reason: the diet lacks certain
elments that are necessary for well
being. The child who eats every
thing that is placed before him on
the table has better muscles, a
sounder nervous system, more nor
mal development generally than the
one who limits himself to a few fa
vorite dishes.
In a booklet distributed by the
American Dental Association, and
approved by the United States Pub
lic Health Service, is an interest
ing chapter entitled “What Foods
Do for Teeth.” It is especially nec
essary that mothers of young chil
dred should have this information.
Dragging the kids to the dentist’s
office to have caries filled is no
hilarious pastime.
EAT RIGHT FOOJfS
To build strong, healthy teeth
that can resist and fight decay,,
the child must eat the right foods—
some to build strong teeth, others
to exercise the teeth and still oth
ers, which are course, to help mas
sage the gums and clean the teeth.
For general dental health cal
cium, phosphorus and vitamin D,
which is found in cod liver oil, are
necessary. -
Milk is rich in calcium; a quart
a day is the required amount for
a growing child. Milk is the great
est known source of this mineral
though it is found in cereals, eggs,
some fruits and vegetables.
Phosphorus is supplied by milk,
eggs, primes, beans, meats, oatmeal
and whole grain bread. When a
child does not get enough of this
valuable substance the enamel of
the teeth Is often faulty.
Vitamin A is a good friend that
guards against infection, so the
diet should include spinach and
butter. There’s our old friend
spinach bobbing up again. When a
child refuses to eat it, it may be
because it is not properly cooked,
i It should not be a soft, watery
mess. The leaves should be whole,
no water present. Spinach should
not be cooked longer than five or
seven minutes to be appetizing.
CHEW VIGOROUSLY
Vigorous chewing keeps the gums
healthy, as will hard foods—celery,
bread crusts, apples, cabbage. They
are also cleansing.
Every member of the family
should seek the attention of the
family dentist twice a year for an
examination and repair work if
necessary. This practice saves
time, money and pain. Though
daily brushing be thorough, tartar
may form to press up under the
gums and cause trouble. Only the
dentist’s little pickaxes will re
move these troublesome deposits.

Tlie medical clinic this year is

Pasadena, Cal. Dr. Griffin, a

and Los' Angeles.
One of the most popular and
sought after services of the clinic
is the dental department being
conducted by Dr. James K. Bell of
Canton, Miss. In a population of
over 40,090 in Holmes county, 70
per cent of whom are Negroes,
there is no Negro physician or
dentist. There is one white den
tist in the entire county whose prac
tice does not allow him much time
for Negro patients.

PREPARE FOODS '
These nutritionists build fires
outdoors and prepare the foods
they demonstrate then distribute
samples to the crowds who gather
to see and hear. Methods of com
bining foods with a large vitamin
content to “stretch” or increase
the bluk, plus the use of canned
milks or other less expensive foods,
are stressed.
Records taken by the interview
ers on the AKA staff indicate that
a very limited variety of foods is
made available to these people.
The large number of cases of pella
gra. rickets and other diseases due
to malnutrition is proof of the need
of these services.

‘Uncle’ To Lose

Several Neices
WASHINGTON—(A N P) —
Uncle Sam dosn’t know it yet, but
he is going to lose a whole flock
of his nieces working here during
August. Many girls and women,
teaching during the winter, tcok
the jobs for the summer to come
either north or east and then plan
a vacation to “look over New York.”
They are going home to peace
and comfort and quiet The joke,
therefore is on Uncle who took
most of them in good faith to fill
an emergency job, but the resigna
tions are going vo fall ir. fast and
furious around the middle of the
month and they will be effective
immediately.
Many others are resigning in
sheer disgust at the reception ac

They have no jobs to go to and

they were to come to it and they
