Jacket, The Suit

By Muriel Penn

UONDON. (Reuters) - London dress designers are featuring the "long-legged look" in preview: of 19541 mid-year fashions.

The popular "tulip" line of 1953 has gone. though some of its in- fluence remains.

The London fashion kings Mon- day opened their spring and sum- mer collections with emphasis on an unbroken line from bust to hem.-

Keeping the dropped shoulders and artificial width of the tulip lines, they have added full-topped sleeves to stress the bust.

Hardy Amies, who made many of the outfits which the Queen is wearing on her Commonwealth tour. summed it up by saying: "The battle area this season is the bust and above."

Skirts for daytiiuc, especially on suits, are straighter than ever.

though more walking use is giv- en by longer pleats set in the back.

Hemline: for the coming season vary.

lango To 15 Indian

-Amies and Victor Stiebel, who often make clothes for Princess Margaret, raise them to an aver- age 15 inches from the ground. but Charles Creed, who special- izes ln tailored coats. suits and dresses. prefers 13 to 14 inches.

Suit jackets are decidedly short- er than last season and incon- spicuous slit pockets have replac- ed the outstanding and intricate- ly designed pockets of last year.

Double duty outfits figure in all collections with what George Mat- tli has called the "suit dress"-ea two-piece ensemble consisting of ;jacket and dress which can do lduty round the clock.

For Revolution

By Dorothy Roe

NEW 1'(.)R.l(, 4APr -- If anyone has any lingering doubts about the economic. industrial and general importance of women, he should have a few words with Harley J.

Earl. vice-president of General! Motors.

If it weren't for women. he lays, everybody might still be driving plain black cars, with

high seats, small Windshields and maybe even hand-shifted gears. .

It's the little woman llllil hllil revolutionized automobile design. says Earl. who is in clirirge oi styling. Women influence 75 per cent of all car purriiascs, and when women go shopping for auto- mobiles they know what they want.

When women wrote in that they Inagged their nylons and scraped their shins getting in and out of cars. front seats were redesigned.

Beauty Is Half The Story In McGill Contest

MONTREAL, (CP) - The gals with the good looks will not nec- uaarlly have things all their own way when McGill University's win- ter carnival queen is selected.

Meme Perry. last year's queen and chairman of this year's com- mittee, said Monday that judging will be on the basis of 50 per cent for beauty and 50 per cent for poise and personality.

Elaborate precautions are being taken to see that no "ringers" are entered; also that there will be no such monkeyshines as last year when students of Dawson College entered a Newfoundland dog.

PROLONGED SLEEP TREAT- MENT OF MJNTAL CASES

After living through World Wars I and II. we are not surprised that so many men and women are sul- iering mentally and emotionally and that our mental clinics and me.-trial institutions are fully occup- ied. In fact, if the s':oclt r-i;...:.i of treatment had no lo - cred, many more mental hospitals would be needed.

It is of interest to learn that an- other method. rather than shock. of rendering a mental patient un- conscious, is now giving excrlllerit results in the hands of skilled psy- ohiatrlsts.

In the Medical Prue, Paris. Drs. A. Dmchaimps and M. Cadoret re- port their results by inducing pro- longed sleep in mental patients. Prolonged sleep as induced by these two physicians differs from artificial hibemaition (sleep caused by freezingl because it is induced by drugs, with refrigeration used merely to aid the effect of drugs. The depth of the sleep and the diuration of the tireattment are less important than the degree of re- laxattion oecured.

Treatment by tihia method proved

safe even in aged patlenia with heart disease and high blood preo- sure. "Strict medical supervision is re- quired and the rings used to block the nerve centers should be with- drawn grufualily at the alone of the liraa.t.monit.. The alum proaiccd ia oakn and the patient: are inland and 'indlillfar-ant. Breathing b rau- lar and the who usually normal. and linen nearly always is a top in the blood ..

Both Parents Work

Husband Says.-Children Would Be Happier If Wife Stayed Home

DEAR MISS DIX: My wife and I have been mai'i'ied 12 years and have three children. We have been very happy except for the fact tna we both work sly days a week on different shifts. so we see little of eat-ix ulher. I waiit her to givv. up her Job as I'm quite able to care for my family. The only time we have together is Sunday evening, and fre- quently ahe wants to go bowling Lhtit night with the women who wori with her. I think we should go out together that one evening. I'm sure Dill home life could be happier if ;he'd give up her job. Before she won 2:) work our home was aliveys neat. now it's untidy. We own our owi home, have a car. and nioderr conveniences.

5 iii CHILDREN MORE INPORTANT THAN JOB

ANSWER: As you described your home life, it certainly appeari that even what harmony exists still not last long if your wife doesn't do imethin-3 about rwtorint; it Every home needs some center of control our household is at sixes fllil sevens. The children, even though oi sliool age, are not old e:-nugn to look after themselves, especially with ilil the un.-iipervised time on their hands. Apparently you've used even argument you can think of to persuade your wife to remain home; per- naps you luiow someone whose influence might be stronger-personnel manager at her place 01 business. a doctor who could point out the dangers to the children's ”ea!th tuiless they have more attention. a. min- ;5Ler who could produce very cogent arguments. Do try to get. at ieasl one of them to show her ;he other side of the story.

Working mothers are no novelty. but usually they have sound ren- .-70115 for holding jobs. am at least. they make sure that their childret receive proper care Your wife apparently has no financial problem her presence at home would definitely improve the iamilyis welfare and she is risking the loss of your love, as well as endangering thi children's upbringing and safety. by insisting on holding a job.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 31, and have a wife and four children. M) itorking hours are such that I must sleep during the day However, my wife's relatives are almost always here in the afternoon. so sleep it

, ssible. They seem to think I'm lazy because I'm in bed and mv .tife does nothing to keep them quiet. i L. .

ANSWER: You are surrounded by a bunch of nitwils? with yolli wife as chief dunce? Even children can be taught that a man who worlu at night must. sleep during the day; your in-laws are prize inconsider- au-zs to plav the radio or turi. on television when you are trying to rest. Tell your wife unless more crnsideration for you is forthcoming you'll be "orced to engage a mom in a hotel. the cost, of which will deduct from the house allowance. Be il"ll'l about this.
