Now it can be told, girls. And
let's have done with this starva
tion racket. It has been scientifi
cally established, by a year’s diete
tic research on 122 teenage young
women down in the heart of Texas
that fat in the diet does not (re
peat “not”) put fat on your frame!
Actually, this elaborate study
proved that the contrary is true . .
that you can eliminate fats (so far
as is reasonably possible) and gain
weight. What you lose as a fat
evader is vim and vigor, becoming
a Lazy Daisy or a Limp Lily with
avoirdupois replacing pep. The
complexion is also likely to take
a beating.
These revelations reach back to
the ten-year study of teen-age nu
trition sponsored by the Pennsyl
vania Department of Health and
supervised by Dr. Pauline Beery
Mack, then Director of the Ellen
H. Richards Institute of the Penn
sylvania State University. The
findings, on the 2,536 youngsters
studied, published through a grant
in aid by ^ver Brothers, were
briefly that teen-agers—girls even
more than boys—were the most
undernourished of all Americans,
regardless of economic status. ‘
Among their various diet deficien
cies, resulting in improper weight,
stunted growth .poor bone struc
ture and teeth, poor night vision
and bad skin, there was a glaring
lack of fat.
These researches, showing what
was wrong, were completed in
1953, and Lever decided to project
thfe studies into the positive phase
and find out what is right in teen
age nutrition. Dr. Mack, meantime,
had become Dean of Household
Arts and Sciences at the Texas
State College for Women, and was
prevailed upon to carry on from
where she left off at Pennsylvania.
Here, 122 older teen-age volun
teers were divided into four
groups, living for a full school year
on four different diets. All four
were top-quality diets, and all pro
vided 2,400 calories a day. On all
four,* the fat was trimmed off all '
meats, gravy and ice cream were
outlawed; but in three of the diets
different—but carefully controll- i
ed—amounts of vegetable fat were
put back in. To simplify accurate
control, these consisted of Spry
cooking fat, and Good Luck Marga
rine as a spread.
If you like statistics, you’ll be |
interested in knowing that Group
A, who got the most fat (30 to 35 !
percent of total calories supplied
by fat) lead the other three on
every count, in absence of over
weight, freedom from acne, in fa
tigue resistance, bone structure,
good red blood and night vision. |
Standings of the other three i
groups varied somewhat on all I
other counts, but on “absence of *
overweight” it was strictly a one,
two, three, four finish.
So, will you please pass the
doughnuts, Ermentrude?

No More Bald Heads Predicted
... Time was when actors were
about the only customers the wig
makers had, and even from the
cheap seats you could tell which
thespian had the toupe. But things
are different now. It seems as if
nobody wears a wig anymore.
It seems that way because you
can’t tell who’s wearing a hair
piece and who isn’t—even a barber
can’t tell until he starts investigat
ing. These later models don’t skid,
people swim in them, sleep in
them, and they’re hurricane proof.
As a style note, we might mention
that the latest in hairpieces is the
crew-cut!
Our authorty is Louis Feder,
who has been concerned about hu
man thatch since he was fourteen.
His Fifth Avenue firm in New
York has covered more than eighty
thousand shining pates against the
elements and the jibes of the
heartless. In fact, Mr. Feder uses
the French word for cover, Tashay,
as the name for his custom-made
creations. All men, he thinks, are
Samsons. When they lose their
hair, they are shorn of confidence,
until they do something about it.
As for the women, they certainly
must do something about it since
a quarter of a million of them are
bald!
Altogether, more than a million
Americans are confidently facing -
and fooling * their public with a
hairpiece. But still an estimated
four out of every five adult men
are going about with more or less
naked skulls and suffering, this
authority believes, from psycho
logical wounds. In another ten
years, he says, the problem will
be completely solved. There won’t
be a bald man in America.
