Some Snoring Can Be Cured
Snoring is one of mankind's oldest, commonest, and most baffling afflictions. Victimizing one person in ten, it causes a great deal of unhappiness between room-mates. Yet, amazingly there is almost no serious discussion of the problem in medical literature.
Sleeping on the back causes the flabby soft palate and uvula to fail back against the throat membrane. So snorers should avoid sleeping on their back. Here are a few suggestions for accomplishing this feat:
1. Sew an empty thread spool on the back of your pajamas; or tie a towel around the waist with a large knot in back, or sew a pocket in the rear of your p.j.s into which a baseball is buttoned.
2. Tie one hand to the bedpost with a short string. It will keep you from turning.
Many cases are due to mouth breathing. Stop it by the following:
1. Put a short strip of court plaster across your mouth nightly for several weeks.
2. Tie a bandage under the jaw and over the head to keep your mouth closed.
Clever promoters have often made a great deal of money by appealing to the desire of loud snorers to effect a cure. One man distributed leaflets in which he claimed: "I can absolutely cure snoring."
It cost the gullible one dollar to get the answer. It was printed on a white card.
"An absolute cure for snoring" it read. Then, in small type: "Don't go to sleep."
If your complexion is uneven, or spotted, it can seem clearer in a minute. Put on a cream and powder cake foundation, then dust it heavily with pure white talcum. Wait a minute for the talcum to absorb, then dust with tinted face powder.

University Nursery School Is Human Relationships Lab
By SHIRLEY PIATT
The nursery school at 1100 Missouri street is a laboratory in human relationships, according to Mrs. Luella Foster, director of nursery school.
The home economics department sponsors the nursery school, which provides opportunity for experience in student supervision of child development classes.
The end of the war brought discontinuance of the project. Of the three schools formerly in operation in this area, the school on Missouri street continued to operate on a half-day schedule as part of the home economics department of the University.
"In child play, one can observe first attempts to get along with people," Mrs. Foster said. The attempts are simple and direct and teach an understanding of human relationships which are found early in a child's life.
The nursery school became a part of the University in the fall of 1945. During the war, nursery schools and child-care centers were operated in Lawrence and Sunflower village under a Federal works administration grant. Under this grant, children were cared for on the basis of need for recruitment and retention of war workers.
The children attended school in shifts since the majority of their parents were Sunflower plan shift workers. Parents working swing and graveyard shifts left their children in school from 5 p.m. to 7.30 a.m. in
order to give them a full night's sleep and to insure well-balanced evening meals.
Now the nursery operates from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and is open to anyone, according to Miss Ruth McNeilly, head teacher. The majority of those attending the school are children of University faculty and students.
Students are divided into two age groups, a morning group of 2⁴ and 3-year olds and an afternoon group of 4-year olds. Each group spends three hours at well-rounded super-solar sites at the school Monday through Friday.
Parents interested in sending their children to nursery school should call the nursery school, Miss Mc-Neilly said. Fees are $45 a year and are paid at the University business office.
The school is provided with modern equipment for play both indoors and outside. Materials are provided for painting, finger painting, clay modeling, musical games, rhythm marches, and story hours.
Students have regular rest and refreshment periods.
Each child eats some meals at the school at least one half a semester during the year, Miss McNeilly said. This teaches the child to learn to eat and to enjoy well-balanced meals, she said. Meals for this period cost $12.50.
The nursery school staff consists of a head teacher and three regular assistants. Students in child development classes also are assigned times to help supervise.

Italian Student Views America in Two Halves
Half of America is just as I expected it to be—coming here as an exchange student from Rome, Italy, and the other half is exactly opposite of how I thought it would be.
Certainly everyone in Europe knows that Chicago and New York are the two best known and smoiest business-factories in the world. But in addition to that, the average European thinks that the Americans live in big apartment-houses, and drive supersonic-speed cars, killing men, women and the few animals left in this exaggeratedly modern country.
Well, as for the animals, I have never seen so many birds, pets, and squirrels in Europe, as there are in America. Here they mind their own business without looking at men. Not only that, but in the coffee shop of Chicago's and the world's largest hotel, where 4,000 people drink 300 gallons of coffee per day, I enjoyed the company of a good many well-fed flies. I had been told that saying good-bye to the Old World meant saying good-bye also to free-living insects and animals. It is not so!
In Italy there are no machines serving drinks and cigarettes when a coin is put in them. There you will not even see a water-fountain in a building, they are just in the street and have cold water in winter and hot water in summer.
To say something about the traffic. In America cars stop for almost every animal or person crossing the street, and stop at each intersection even if no other automobiles are coming. In Italy, drivers would just blow their horn and go ahead without touching their brakes.
I must add that KU reminds me of my country, where we have just one automobile for every forty persons. Here, one may see a car with six or seven people inside, with elbows, heads, and shoes jutting out of the windows, exactly as in Italy.
There are no fraternities or sororites in Italy. The few colleges are run by Catholic priests and nuns who would call the police station if boys were to go to a woman's college yelling that they want to take them out for a function on the river. In the Italian universities, it is difficult to date girls—perhaps on account of the hot atmosphere, very often 104 degrees in the shade and 80 degrees at night.
We have no football or baseball games, and during our bicycle races and soccer-ball games, the students would throw tomatoes or bricks on any cheerleader trying to organize
Everyone has to solve his own problem, study according to his own taste, and attend classes as he wishes in Italy. In other words, there are no common rules, no common life, and no common feelings for university students in Italy.
their enthusiasm.
Teachers never give assignments and the students speak with them just at the examination. This method is completely different from high-school and is the beginning of the "struggle for life."

Women Experts at Face Makeup But Can Not Make Up Minds
Spanish women of the 16th cen-
Make-up was used by men and women to keep evil spirits from entering the body through the wearer's eyes, ears, nose and mouth. But gradually, as the human race became more sophisticated, women realized that what was poison for the spirits was meat for the men. Makeup became a beauty aid, and cosmetics were born.
Egyptian ladies of 1500 B.C. painted the sides of their noses with green malachite to make them seem long and straight. Similarly, women of the Indus Valley in 500 B.C. found red-dyed toe and finger tips essential to social acceptance.
Until fairly recently such beauty preparations as lipstick, rouge and eye shadow were used to help women to conform to rigid standards of beauty.
Centuries ago the Korean women sought for a fragile effect with pale, subdued color in rouge and lipstick, and used both sparingly. Heavier emphasis was put upon the eyes and brows. Korean women still use very much the same style in costumes and cosmetics as their early ancestors did.
In the beginning decorative makeup for the human face had nothing to do with beauty. Makeup is older than recorded time.
WOLFSON'S
French ladies of the Renaissance liked the dainty look, and so used beauty spots and eye shadow. The big item was the wig, adorned with as much finery as the head could carry.
tour strove for a cold aristocratic look. Shallow complexions were favored and makeup was heavily used for eyes, brows and lips.
Women swallowed ashes and made up with powdered white chalk in an effort to attain sallow complexions like Queen Elizabeth in England.
