A BUDDEN turn in the exist- lng state of affairs may be start- llni. disconcerting and 'i'aLnte- grating. It may take some rather astutc and sagacious tactics in order to put over constructive changes with benents and profit. to offset complete disruption. The sentimerrtalgromantic or idealistic may be the strategy to pursue in the abrupt crisis, but refrain from overdoing the sentimentality, or giamor.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. may prepare for a swift and unexpect- ed turn-about in affairs, in which the,outcome may be switched to the constructive rather than the disintegrating by shrewd. sagccious Ind probably "in-spired" tactics While the suddenness may be drastic. radical, at the same time exceptional factors for readjust- ments or reorlenting may be built the personality approach. subtlety, intrigue. ideals or giamor. may turn the tide if not aggrava- ted or overdone. Be discreet in turning on the charm.

A child born on this day. may be subject to sudden reversals in plans and projects. with dramatic and intriguing situations to composed with discretion. The personality and subtle techniques may be the constructive implement at their disposal.

British "Patties" (let Fashion Brak

By MURLEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON Aug. 14 -(CP)-8rlt- ish shops are now stocking wider stocks of smart clothes for stout- er women.

Up-to-date dressu in every style and fabric now are avail- able in 40 to 60-inch hip-sizes.

Larger quantities are made in low and middle-price ranges and, although supply is still less than demand, stout women now can be sure of smarter clothes.

,The days are gone when Brit- ain's ample figures could find only styles in dark and subdued de- signs. Designers are proving, to themselves and the conservative British "fatties," that dresses styl- ed to suit the design of the fab- ric. can flatter the largest of lig- ures.

The straight skirts have just the right amount of fullness, and the uninterrupted lines of the pattern emphasize the clean-cut dgure- line. Made for 42 to 46-inch hips. it costs 27 155. (324.02).

A floral-printed rayon with cross-over neckline. short sleeves and cummerbund waist has un- pressed pleats from shoulder to hem in front and from the waist at back.

To prove his point he attended night school and obtained the rudiments of an education. Still not satisfied with what he had accomplished. he finauy managed to save a little money with which he was able to enter Hampton Normal and Agri- cultural Institute, where he stud- ied and toiled for.threo years. 0 0

By this time the y who was born into slavery ha picked up sufficient knowledge to enable him to engage in teaching at his former home, then he entered Wayland seminary in Washington. D. 0. In spite of many handicaps. due largely to his color and background. he pursued his studies so success- fully that, on completing his course of study at the Seminary. he was chosen one of the instructors at Hampton and placed in charge the Indian pupils and of the night school. His success was phenomenal and already he was showing Amer- ica's white boys that a Negro could deliver the goods if given half a chance. i In 1881 young Washington was selected by General Armstrong. Principal of the Institute, to atarl. a normal school at Tuskegee, Ala. Mr. Washington began his work in an old barn, with thirty pupils. but that same year he scraped to- gether enough money to purchase the run down plantation where the Tuskegee Normal and Industrlu Institute in now located. Under his capable management this schbol quickly developed into one of the largest and most "influ- ential industrial schools for colored people in the world. C I

LIVING SAFELY WITH HEART DISEASE

Two fatal diseases of less than 30 years ago were diabetes and pernicious anemia. Every patient died within a few months or Yeti" Today no diabetic needs to die thanks to the discovery of insulin by Drs. Banting and Best. Also

erniclous anemia patients can be kept alive by liver and liver ex- tract. thanks to Drs. Minot and Murphy.

Just as diabetes and pernicious anemia are controlled, so cancer research workers state that death from cancer can be prevented by surgery, X-ray, and radium, if the cancer is discovered in its early stages. '

Today we are witnessing the de- termined efforts of the American Heart Association, with its various branches. to bring control of neart disease to the point where many cases can be prevented and many other patients enabled to live a useful and enjoyable life.

Cases of heart disease that can be prevented it is stated in the bui- ietln of the Association. are heart conditions that follow acute com- municable disease such as tonsill- t.is. laryngltls. flu, sinus infection. bronchitis, and others.

The bulletin makes recommenda- tion for the control of specific or

diseases from which heart disease may develop. "For the pre- vention of rheumatic hcart dis- ease, more attention should be given to early and adequate or full treatment of nose. throat, and

Mr. Washington wag the guiding light in the movement for indus- trial education of his race. and he believed that only thrpugh intelli- gent upp" lion to the common oc- cupationa of life would the Negro people ever reach a high standard. During his active years he tra- veled extensively and gave numer- ous lecturer throughout the U. S. A. and Europe. Booker Washington was a forceful and eloquent speaker. the silver-tongued orator of his race. Besides lecturing. teaching and traveling. this remd-kable man found time to write several charm- ing books. "The Future of the American Negro." "Up from slav- ery", (his own autobiography). "character Building." "rho story of My Life" and "Working with the Hands." "The story of My Life" and "Up From slavery". are heart-warming tales that every man and woman throughout the world could read with profit. ' . No wonder Booker Washington was regarded in his day as the foremost representative of his race.
