Hut we liavc it on tlic highest authority, there is no Czar of Hollywood hut only a Czarina. Her name is Sylvia, Scandinavia's premiere masseuse, who daily pounds, heats and curses the movie stars into shape. Sylvia, it seems, rules' with an iron hand, and under her autocratic control, a new standard of feminine beauty is taking form in movie hind. Sylvia's model of beauty is a figure five feet tall, and she works night and day to attain this ideal. Just what methods she uses to decrease height have not been disclosed, but when anyone ijuestions her ability to defy the dictates of Mother Nature she points to the fact that Mary 1'ickford is under five feet, Alice White is just five feet Norma Shearer ditto, Gloria Swansoii is only a half-inuh over, Aim Harding only five feet two. .- . ' -. : . , OIIOI IIjIJ the Venus do Milo apply for a job at Hollywood, Sylvia would probably throw her out on her ear and Syl via could do it. Tradition has it that when Hull Molilalia re sisted her facial massage, Sylvia made him cry for mercy. She is mislress of certain wrestling holds, the groan and grunt pro fession never heard of. Helen of Troy would fare no better. She launched a thou sand ships, but she wouldn't get it job in Hollywood with the rc doubtublo Sylvia in control. Nor could the langoroiis long linibed Amazons in Ziegfeld's Follies. . SYfiVIA is powerful mid growing more so; Sylvia is rich and growing richer. With the success of the Hobby Jones films in mind, u certain director decided to persuade Mrs. Helen Wills Moody to star in a scries of tennis lessons. Hut Sylvia put her foot down long before Mrs. Moody did. No tennis stars for Sylvia, and without Sylvia what could a poor director do? Outdoor sports, proclaimed Sylvia, are the deadly enemy of beauty. No woman athlete is or in her opinion can be beau tiful. Muscles arc horrid things that must be pounded off. ' t - ' ' '. ALLOW no stars under my direction to take violent oxer- eise" quoth the Czarina. "Constance Hewlett takes no ex ercise whatever. She is my model pupil. Observe) liar pVestjut salary. All other aspiring stars should do likewise. Too much swimming develops chest, shoulders and thighs to an alarming degree. Horseback riding ruins the waistline, tennis makes one arm larger than the other, golf brings an ungainly stride I can spot a golfer like a beacon light and professional danc ing ruins the legs. Only walk on level ground, and not too lilucli, don't climb hills, ladders or&tnirH. f you feel like exer cise DON'T, come to me, I will Spound you into shape, the shape that pays!" ! '.

'physical health and fitness have' a gl'eat deal to do with habits and mtjr-, ills." Anil we can't believe th'af it standard of beauty that, bftlins nil 'outdoor exei'cise, frowns even on climbing a flight of siairs, condemns an aspiring actress to a life of idleness, and a diet that retards normal growth, can eventually lend to anything that is cither desirable or wholesome.

We believe further that there is a subtle but nevertheless Very close connection between good health and good morals; between keeping physically fit and in the parlance of the street "going straight." In short, we don't approve of Synthetic-Sylvia as Czarina of tho movies, and think Brother Hays should either tati over the control he is paid to exercise or give way to someone who will.

We would like to see these young girls continue their swim ming, horseback riding, tennis and golf, keep their tunned skins and healthy appetites, and if Synthetic Sylvia objects, tell her and all the other imported masseuses to go jump in the lake.

Having thus checked up, the child the lady wrote to me to ask what she had better do. I told her tho family doctor seem ed sincere and honest. He could not assure hor that medical treatment would cure. Ho merely gavo her his best opinion and advice, and he still adhered to this Alter the simple crea ture came back to him with the second-hand report of the brass spec. In 1 Lst. I think that family doctor Is not only sincere and honest but extraordinarily patient under exas perating circumstances. My own im pulse would be weu, you xnow me, all. ; Now, In view of the fact that- I draw a sharp line of distinction be tfween real specialists and torasa ones. may I not Indicate the course the hidy should have taken? t When she received the family doc tor's opinion ind advice, if It did not entirely satisfy ner and her relatives, tne ao-tor, in any case, and I am particularly certain In this case, would"- have welcomed cordially any hint, suggestion or request that the patient or her family desired fur ther consultation before deciding- No good physician can or will resent or object -to any such reasonable wish the doctor himself would probably desire 'the same sort of additional assurance, if a member of hl own family were the patient. If the gel ter patient or her relative hinted to the doctor that some such reassur ance was desirable, a good, honest physician would at once agree and either recommend a good consultant or pass Judgment upon the qualifi cations of any ocnsultant the family might prefer. Then the patient would go to the specialist or consultant or the consultant would be called to the patient's bedside, and the opinion and advice of the consultant would be given through the attending fam ily phystclan. This last feature IsT more than a wiseacre and cvcrly-Mlplclous ci3 t:mer can swallcw. Being both dumb and dishonest hlmsolf ho imagines there would be -colluslonbetween the consultant and the family doctor if the matter were carried Mht In that vav. Ho wants direct aAvlce from the spochillpahd wlthbulrtjfrc knowl-j aii ,v im vi ii Tvi it ui i,i iu ivy in ii mvu '.cnl attendant." - r-r But-the real specialist h"? af in every such conBuithrraTTT'H reputation is at etnke. Ho Is npt likely to be swayed from his opinion. uion, merely to cawr to will of a family doctor consider his own intere.' welfare of the patient. The come of tho enso will either enhance or mar the reputation of the spec ialist. - On the whole. It seems to me that nothing our wiseacre, affected, snob nun population 'an do is more fell lull W'nn tlA "chocking up" via the Drasi spci'i.tfist route. QntNTIONM AM) ANSWKIIM 1 Ah Viewed from KUlirr Side. Am Interested In your articles about tonsil removal rs I am now taking the diathermy treatment and am more than pleased with results. The only drer-ik being the number of treat ments necessary. This method wilt be a blessing to anyone afraid as I was of taking ether. I was In a very rundown condition from neglect of diseased tonsils. I cannot say enough In favor of this diathermy way of removing tonsils. Mrs. D. W. We find that patients like this method (electro-coagulation) for It doesn't Interfere with their usual oc cupation. And we like the method because ve don't have to worry about secondary hemorrhage, abscess of tbe lung, etc. It requires a number of treatments, , but we are able to re move all of the tonsil. E. R. , M. D J. L. , M. D, Mouth Breathing. My son, a normal healthy young ster, aged five, breathes through his mouth most of tho time In sleep sometimes his mouth Is closed, some times open. We had him examined and the doctor found no adenoids. He sad It Is habit. What would you advise? R. L, J. Answer. Mouth breathing la often caused by chronic rhinitis. In some cases It Is due to faulty development of palate and teeth. If there Is no rhinitis, have your oentst examine fcr malocclusion. Anyway Wu Had the flight Olor. One of youp correspondents sug gested using red precipitate salve for head lice, and adds parenthetically that it is binlodlde of mercury. It isn't. It's red oxide of mercury. Red oxide of mercury Is much used for head lice In country districts. I have many times Incorporated the binlo dlde of mercury in veterinary pre scriptions for blisters.
