the spring fashion shows

White King Soap
Remember the sweet, sun-dried smell of your
Mother's f reshly-washed sheets ? Remember the
fluffy softness of her towels the clean, fresh
look of her cottons? She used real soap. White
King Soap. That kind of deep-clean, soap-clean
wash can be yours, too, next washday, with
White King. Even after just one wash, clothes
dulled and stiffened by many washings with
other products will feel a bit softer, look a bit
newer, smell lots, lots sweeter! Try it and see

live up to the master. The
chosen few who have seen
his sketches many of. them
worked out while St. Laurent
retired to his native Oran,
Algeria are optimistic.
Just before Christmas, St.
Laurent returned to Paris, a
signal for the whole Dior
team to get to work. The
"team" is controlled by three
women Mrs. Raymonde Zen
acker Mrs. Marguerite Carre,
and Mrs. Mitsy Brichard.

Their job to transform
the designer sketches into pat
terns and finally into dresses.
This is being done with St.
Laurent's help.
On January 28, the world's
top fashion reporters will jam
the gilt and grey salons of the
House of Dior.
Within a few hours the
word will begin to spread
St. Laurent either will be
proclaimed a new leader, or
Dior will become just another
fashion house, no longer the
leader.
Before World War II,
French style leadership shift
ed with each season Coco
Chanel might have the best
fall collection, but Elsa Schia
parelli might have the best
designs the following spring.
And then Lucian LeLong
would take the lead for the
following fall.
Dior changed all that with
his "New Look" in 1947. He
dominated the fashion, for 10
steady years.
The house of Dior, and us
sole stockholder, Marcel Bous
sac. the textile tycoon, are
betting that St. Laurent can
keep Dior dominant.

The mail Monday and Tuesday was right interesting. In
addition to the usual meeting notices, news about travelers
and handouts from agencies, we received some letters. One
was from a woman saying "please tell your daughter to write
more from Germany we love to share their experiences";
another was an anonymous letter signed "Disgusted Reader"
which said "People are sure getting fet up with all the
bunk about army wife" and assuring us that "now you know
how thousands of people feel"; one was from a business
woman which read "I just wanted to say a hearty amen to
your column Sunday concerning our willingness to spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lavish spectacle while
underprivileged children (underprivileged institutions, too)
go begging," and a letter from FB up Shady Cove way, who
left the MT staff to live the life of a housewife in the
country.
"Today I see the perfectly stupendous caricature of Chief
Sething Bullis topped with a duster," she wrote. "Is that my
old, or a new one? If it is my old one, I am glad that it came
to such a wonderfully happy ending."
It was FB's old feather duster, but what makes her think
it has come to a happy ending? That little duster has been
put to a number of interesting uses, and now is on the shelf,
awaiting inspiration.
FB's note also reminded us that before becoming Mr.
Saturday Bullis, Medford's Seth M. Bullis was also known
as Mr. Sitting Bullis. This came from the brain of the beauti
ful concert soprano, Dorothy Warenskjold, who bestowed it
upon Mr. B. at a party at the B. B. Lowry'i one winter night
when she saw him sitting cross-legged on the Lowry's hearth,
smoking his pipe and otherwise making like an Indian.
As we said before, we enjoyed our mail this week. Even
the note from "Disgusted Reader" who implied that "thou
sands" read this column. If true, this is good news, indeed.
Dr. Winea J. Simpson, California woman obstetrician,
believes that there is a relationship between mothers' smok
ing and premature births. Since prematurity is the greatest
contributing factor in this country to fetal death and death
during the first month of life, the Simpson study takes on
considerable importance, according to a report in the Janu
ary issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine.
Facts for the study were gathered over a period of three
years at a county hospital and two private hospitals in Cali
fornia and covered almost 7,500 women, according to the
magazine.
Of the babies delivered at the county hospital, 50.6 per
cent were Latin Americans. The mothers of these babies re
ported less smoking than any other group, and showed the
lowest prematurity rate.
For the two private hospitals, the ratio of premature ba
bies was approximately twice as high for the smokers as
for nonsmokers, the magazine says. The difference was less
at the county hospital possibly because of other factors: poor
diet, the large number of unwed mothers and lack of pre
natal care, the report continues. Thirty percent of county
hospital patients did not receive prenatal care, while only
seven percent of private hospital patients did not have medi
cal attention during pregnancy.
Most striking in the results was the apparent relation
ship between prematurity and the number of cigarettes
smoked each day, according to the report. The more ciga
rettes smoked each day, the higher the prematurity rate. And
the relation was "uncanny" the magazine says.
Those who smoked 15 cigarettes per day accounted for
13.6 percent of the prematurity; those who smoked 25 ciga
rettes accounted for 25 percent of the prematurity; very
heavy smokers 35 cigarettes
percent.
Doctor Simpson also assembled reports of previous re
search that has been done to
ing on women's reproductive processes. She included in her
report the work of German researchers who found that
among women working in tobacco factories there were fewer
pregnancies, more miscarriages
their infants during the first three years of life.
The German reaction to Sputnik is less emotional than
that of the Americans, the Soldier writes from Berlin. For
the most part, German people
any immediate threat to world security, he reported, and
many say they are glad that the Russians launched the first
satellite, hoping that this will show Americans that Europe
and Asia are not necessarily so far behind in technology.
Germans also believe that now the U.S. won't flaunt its supe
riority and technical know-how so much, he wrote.
The Germans dubbed the American satellite either "Spat-
nik" meaning more or less "late-nik" or "Geht-nicht" which
translates into "goes not.' The U.S. forces joke about the
