ANNUAL BARGAIN BEE SUCCEEDS. Colfee and donuts and an antique doll collection were
two factors which helped push sales volume to twice its normal pace in the infants' and chil
dren's department of Muehling's Department Store, San Diego. Calif. "This is the third year
we've staged an 'Old Fashioned Bargain Bee' and by far it has been the best," says Arlan
tPuckett, general store manager, reports Infants' & Children's Review. The Bargain Ree, which
jan for six days the first week in February, was heavily promoted with newspaper advertising.
Windows were decorated with mannequins clad in gowns reminiscent of the early 1900 era. The
promotional image was antiquity versus contemporary. In the infants' and children's depart
ment, a .alublc antique doll collection attracted crowds. Counter fixtures were Iree of merchan
dise and more lhan two dozen dolls dressed in garments of a by-gone era were installed. Heavy
and bulky clothing of these dolls offered a sharp contrast to today's infanls' wear.
AUTO SEAT BELT SALES ADVANCE. Seat belts will continue to receive strong merchan
dising play in home and auto stores during 1964 and '65. reports Dome & Auto Retailer. This
year's seat belt sales In auto stores are running 2(1 over 1962. In 1962. auto stores sold SIS
million worth of belts, a gain of 36 over 1961. The fact that car manufacturers are offering
seat belts on 1964 models under "delete option" basis meaning that customers can cancel the
belts if they don't want them and the dealer will make any necessary price adjustments has not
hampered seat belt sales in home and auto stores. In fact, dealers see 1961 seat belt sales as
"definitely bright."

NAZARETH, Israel (UPH
Thc worn hills of Galilee hid
Nazareth from the pages of his
tory until the Gospels turned it
into a shrine venerated through
out Christendom.
It was the boyhood home of
Christ. Here he preached the
sermon in the synagogue that

NKW LOOK I'OH MEN
If your style sense is even modcralcly developed, Mr.
America, you well may show up at the office next spring in a
new iridescent bluc-grcen business suit. If your husband Is even
moderately courageous about dressing, Mrs. America, he well
may be wca.ing a bluc-and-white seersucker dinner coat (with
black lapels) when he escorts you to a club dance this summer.
Ihcre is a new trend toward lightness and brightness in the
stodgy world of men's business suits and it is being hailed as
the biggest news in masculine apparel since the "Ivy League"
and "Continental" looks of post-World War II. "This is the first
time since the 19.10s that American men arc going for colors
in such a big way," says Richard Lang, fashion editor of Gen
tlemen's Quarterly.
"We have been in a very dark era for a long time with
men slicking strictly to black, brown, blue and olive drab.
Now we are seeing signs that the American male is ready for
a change."
Item: This past fall, when manufacturers of men's apparel
were showing their lines, an impressive BO per cent of the new
clothes were light and bright light greys, golds, iridcsccnls,
"sand," "pewter," "clay," "sterling." In the fall of 12 only
10 per cent of the manufacturers' new lines were light and bright.
Hem: Orders by buyers (or major stores across the coun
try indicate that the colors will be aggressively promoted next
spring and summer. "Men are by nature conservative," says
Lang. "Some will never give up the 'mortician' colors and the
industry will never fail to provide dark suits for those who
want them." But within six months, Lang forecasts, a majority
of the suits, slacks and jackets on store racks will he light,
bright and colorful and men may have to hunt (or something in
olive drab. ,
Item: The trend toward bright, light men's business suits has
been in the making for a long time. It began in sports clothes,
and colors in this area are riotous. Next to break out of the
traditional mold was the dinner jacket. Now the trend is reach
ing the business suit.
A simple shift in color in the multi-billion dollar men's ap
parel industry hardly seems hir, husiness news but in view of
the snail's pace of change in this field, it almost seems a radi
cal move.
The men's apparel industry competes primarily on the basis
of price. It takes about live years to reduce the number nl
buttons on a man's jacket from three to two and a decade to
get the number down to one belore a reversal sets in. In the
words of one industry spokesman, "our industry dosn't run. At
its best, it trots."
But new forces are emerging which could shake the in
dustry out of its prolonged period of stagnation.
Most significant is. the exploding population of young
mrn uhn will have an annual buying power running into
billions and who will not only seek new styles but will also
inlltirnce how Ibeir fathers dress. The Increase In the 13-19
year male population during this single decade will hr It
per cent. In the 20-21 year age group, the rise will be an
awesome 54 per cent.
As the Bach Letter, a men's apparel advertising report, puts
it, the youth market gives the industry "a golden opportunity
to brcaic out of old molds, to promote new styles, new colors,
new fabric combinations, yes, and even to promote obsolescence."
Another important factor is the upsurge in travel. Panicu
larly at warm weather resorts. American men buy and be
come accustomed to wearing bright, flashy clothes. Finally,
Lang emphasizes that men. prodded by their wives, "are learn
ing to dress up for a variety of different occasions with spe
cific clothes f-jr each occasion. "
A while ago. the Bach letter came np with the startling
finding what while cars on the road are getlinj younger, men's
suits in wardrobes are getting older and that the average
age of a man's suit Is only one year younger than his car.
It could be that a man s suit is at least almut In move nut
nlthc category of the most durable o consumer goods.

Regulations by States on Possession
Of Firearms Urged
ROBERT
SMITH
WASHINGTON It is up to
the various stale legislatures
rather than Congress to crack
down on unregulated sale of
firearms to juveniles and adults
who are incompetent to handle
them safely, according to Sen.
Warren G. Magnuson, D- Wash.,
chairman of the Senate Com
merce Committee.
Magnuson's committee plans
to hold hearings soon on pending
bills to regulate mail-order gun
sales such as the transaction
which put an Italian rifle into
the hands of Lee Harvey Os
wald, the presumed assassin of
President Kennedy. A bill spon
sored by Sen. Thomas Dodd, D
Conn., has gained support since
the assassination.
Dodd's proposal is to require
wear Western clothes. Yet,
many still dress in the flowing
robes that were common in Bib
lical times. The population is
now about 25,000, most of them
Arab Christians. About 10,000 of
them are Roman Catholics.
Roman soldiers sacked the
town on their way to major at
tacks on Japha in 67 A.D., and
it is believed that the Nazareth
of the Gospels perished. Only
caves in the rocks provided
refuge. Eusebius, citing Julius
Africanus, says "relatives of the
Lord" presumably the dc
scandants of the family of Jos
eph and Mary were scnltcred
throughout the countryside.

May Mislead Public
But Chairman Magnuson Is
fearful that enactment of such
legislation will "mislead the
public into believing that the
problem had been solved when
in fact it had not."
What is the problem?
"There is no question that
more effective control over the
use and possession of firearms
is necessary," says Magnuson.
"Mental incompetents, alcohol
ics, drug addicts, convicted fel
ons, fugitives from justice and
similar individuals should not
be permitted to use firearms.
Use of firearms by minors
should be adequately regulated.
Even in the case of guns used
for sporting purposes, no minor
should be permitted to use or
possess a gun except with par
ental approval and under their
supervision."
The basic issue, he adds, is
"what constitutes effective con
trol and where should that con
refugees from the City of David
came to quiet Galilee.
By the third century A.D.
there was a Jewish community
in Nazareth. In 614 A.D., the
men of Nazareth joined Chosrocs
II of Persia and helped him
sack the churches of Jerusa
lem. When the emperor Hcra
clius drove out the Persians,
the Christians put Jewish Naz
areth to the sword.
Christ Leaves City
Christ left Nazareth for Cap
ernaum (Tel Hum) on the
northwest shore of the Sea of
Galilee when he started his
ministry. It was the place,
Matthew tells us, He considered
His own city."
Pope Paul will visit and pray
al Ihc places where the New
I cstament says Christ centered
His public activities.
Here the disciple Simon Pet
er the St. Peter Roman Cath
olics venerate as the first Pope
had his house. It was the
Sea of Galilee upon which the
New Testament relates Christ
walked, and it was these wat
ers and the sweeping winds (hat
he rebuked and commanded to
be calm. Violent storms still
rush down from the surround
ing hills and catch fishermen,
using ncls similar to those of
Biblical times, far from shore.
The sea, 13 miles long and

Malformations nf Ncw-Bnrn
Infants Can Cause Death
Few lay people realizo how
common arc malformations in
infants, and few people know
what every autopsy pathologist
knows, and this is that when a
child has one deformity, he is
likely to have half a dozen. I
recently read an article on
children horn deaf, an article
showing how often these unfor
tunate youngsters have, a num
ber of other bodily difficulties.
In the past 111 yenrs, among
some 32,600 infants horn at the
Chicago Lying-in Hospital, 72
who were born alive died in the
first 10 days. All of these died
nf malformations. In '25 cases,
the abnormalities affected
mainly tho brain. Such defects
are more common than those
affecting any other organ. Mal
formations of the heart involved
13 children; of the kidneys, 11;
of Ihc gullet and intestines,
nine; of the midriff, six; of the
skeleton and muscles, six; of
I he other organs, Iwo. During
Ihe same period of lime, 40
fetuses were born to badly de
formed that Ihey had died be
fore birth. Again, 24 had some
severe abnormality of the brain.
Many mothers who for years
are terribly unhappy becnuso of
buby lost by miscarriage In
the first three months of preg
nancy could be comforted a bit
if they knew that in such cases,
practically never is the fetus
found normal at autopsy. In Ihe
United Stales, the official fig
ures show thai one in 467 in
fanls dies within the first two
weeks after birth, and in 1958,
Ihc number nf deaths ascribed
to malformations of the infant
was 12,790. If we add the num
ber of infants who were too mal
formed to he born alive, we get
a figure of about 30,000 preg
nancies which ended unfor
tunately. It may give heartbroken
molhers some comfort also to
know that there arc many other
women who arc suffering men
tally as they are. All should
know that in hardly a single
case can the mother he blamed
for what happened; the child's
malformation with death was in
no way her fault.
The chemistry of the develop
ment of a normal infant Is so
extremely complicated that, to
me, the marvel Is not that oc
casionally a child is born mal
formed; Ihe marvel is lhat so
many infanls are so perfectly
normal that they can later de
velop into fine human beings.
As Dr. James D. Eberl, Di
rector of Ihc Department of
Embryology of the Carnegie In
stitution said recently, some of
the deformities, like a harelip
arc due lo a defective inheri
tance, a few can be due tn the
mother's gelling German meas
les early in her pregnancy, and
others might he dun tn taking
some drug early in her preg
nancy. experts no longer believe lhat
a mother can mark her baby,
and this should he a comfort to
thousands of women.
Trndenry tn .Multiple Birthi
Can Be Inherited
According to the American
Medical Association, the tend
ency of women lo have twins
varies in different parts of the
world, and even in different
parts of the United Slates. For
instance, in the whole United
States the rate for twin births Is
one in every 86 live births. In
Denmark, it is one in every 60
births: in Japan, twinning is
rare. In Ihc United Stales, the
rate is one tn every 66 births in
Kentucky, and one In every 123
births in Nevada.
If a woman has a set nf twins,

and thereby be unconstitutional.
The senator has directed his
committee staff to consult with
federal, state and local authori-
ties and others in quest of a
practical solution.
"But the solution must not be

of ignorance, intended to foster

me possession and use of fire-
arms by the Irresponsible, but
in so doing should not unduly
inconvenience or hurdenthe re
sponsible." Magnuson doesn't question the
power of Congress to regulate
interstate movement of weap
ons, such as the national fire
arms act of 1KI4, which outlaws
machine guns, sawed-off shot
guns and other gangster - type
weapons. But he contends it is
a state responsibility to see to
it that legal weapons, pistols
and rifles, be kept out of the
hands of incompetents.

national average, or about one

Mechanical Pacemaker
For Heart
Already in this column I have
called attention to the fact that
a tiny electric pacemaker
buried under tho skin of the up
per part of tho abdomen, with
wires running tn the heart, can
cause the heart to keep heating
when otherwise it might well
null, and leave the person to
die. The pacemaker is used par
ticularly In cases of "heart
block," in which tho beat, start
ing al the top of tho heart,
sometimes cannot get through
to the two big pumping cham
bers. In this disease there can
he sudden fainting spells, and
eventually a so-called standstill
of the heart, and resultant
death.
One common form of head
ache is called migraine. If you
have .symptoms which suggest
migraino headaches, you will
want tn read Dr. Alvarez' help

obtain it by sending 25 ccnls
