AND BUYIN# U. t. tAVINOR OONOR CAN BE AN IMPORTANT PART OP THAT EFFORT/ Working Girl Takes Grand Tour Common sense will protect the working girl as she dashes off for a little independent fling to parts unknown. U. S. passport statistics show that 25 percent of foreign travelers today are the working girls who obviously aren’t sitting around waiting Ir-r heaven to protect them. ' Women now outnumber men two to one on foreign tours, re ports American Express, which would be happy to book even more of the ladies on their solo tours. Those who have done it say, “You can travel alone and like it." In fact, it has its advantages for Miss Lonelyheart. Somebody turned up with this interesting statistic: a trip alone doubles and even quadruples a girl's chances of finding a husband. Whether or not the statistic is scientific—it is hopeful for the girls looking for a man and not just scenery. A good idea is to visit American Express for a run-down on the cruises and escorted tours avail able. Conducted tours guarantee plenty of company, assure the nov ice traveler of a minimum of dif ficulties with reservations, time tables, baggage transportation and so on. If a woman has a particular hobby she may be able to join a group which shares that interest —whether it is languages, music, fashion, the theatre or famous gardens. Group travel is also a perfect way for the unescorted lady to do the night clubs and casinos. More adventurous and inde pendent souls would do well to coj lect some names of friends to visit on the trip. Once the trip gets underway, shyness should be shed to the trade winds. Everybody is anxious to be friendly so that a smile or comment on the weather may well start a friendship that will last for the duration of the trip—or the rest of the young lady’s life. On a cruise, it’s advisable to take part in all the ship’s activi ties. It’s a wonderful way to make friends. Women alone will feel more at ease about joining people for a drink or on shore trips if they make a point at the begin ning of explaining that they wish to pay their own way. Last but not least, they -should respect the customs of the coun tries they are in as far as man ners and mode of dress are con cerned. Otherwise they may find themselves in embarrassing pre dicaments. Many women who have traveled alone say they wouldn’t do it any other way. Two is company—but a crowd of new acquaintances can be more fun! _ TEEN-AGERS and their problems OVERWEIGHT The worst offenders where diets ore con cerned are teen-agers. Teen-age girls, because of their desire to be pretty and popular, copy their mothers' "fad" diets to lose unwanted pounds, and often show a loss in physical health and well-being. A recent research project at Texas State College for Women spon sored by Lever Brothers Company showed that a moderately high per centage of fat in a very good diet / could mean weight control as well M as greater skin beauty and better j general health for teen-age girls. ® There were four separate diet plans, from the highest fat diet which con tained both Spry and Good Luck margcine with % of the total cal ories as fat, to the lowest fat diet with only about 12% of calories as fat. But, no girl on the highest fat •diet became overweight. On low fat, 70% stayed overweight, few lost weight. - jra HW«E HY6KRE HISTORY | Scholars of ancient Cnirw invented the first eyeglasses Marco Wo reported seeing them in use in China in 1275.

Not realizing the hygenic value of a bath he knew only that the bath was refreshing. Modern man hnouis that frequent bathing is essential to cleanliness and good hearth.
