...Most acne sufferers waste their time and money looking for magical skin nostrums. The University of Virginia's Dr. Clayton E. Wheeler, writing in the current G.P., the magazine of the American Academy of General Practice, offers simpier advice: use ordinary toilet soap. Only in severe cases of inflammatory skin disease is a doctor's prescription necessary. People bothered with any sort of acne, however, should avoid letting furs and woolens come in contact with the skin and should keep away from oils and greases. Since acne yields slowly, Wheeler also warns that the treatment must be persistent...
...Administrative Board were to extend parictal rules from ten a.m. to one p.m., (the usual hours the maids work), it would pull the cork that would send this free help pouring into the Houses. The new maids would of course bring their own brooms, mops and soap...
...death of her jet-propelled offspring (Muriel Berkson), Jean Stapleton, a triumphantly fun-loving barmaid, and Martita Reid, a Mexican dowager of sufficient force to faze even indomitable Actress Anderson.

Housewives cleaned their homes with more new vacuum cleaners (3,000,000) than in 1952, and washed their clothes with more new washing machines (3,700,000); to do the job, they bought a record $400 million worth of soap and detergents.

They bought more food ($60 billion worth) than ever before. Per capita...
...Barrow. 85, longtime business manager (1920-39) and president (1939-45) of baseball's pennant-winning New York Yankees; of cancer; in Port Chester, N.Y. Barred from a career as a pitcher after he strained his arm, he tried running a hotel, selling hot dogs in ballparks, peddling soap, before he went back to baseball. As manager of the Boston Red Sox (1919), he converted Southpaw Pitcher Babe Ruth into an outfielder to give him more turns at bat, and (with Ruth) moved to New York. By deals, trades and good scouting, Ed Barrow provided the Yankees with...
