Now, when hands are doing
wartime duties—in the kitchen,
garden, canteen or factory—they
need more car than ever to
keep them beautiful.
HANDS UP for inspection.
A good lemon lotion can be
made at home in a jiffy with in
gredients that may be found in
the medicine chest or can be pur
chased .from the corner drug
store.
You can prepare the lotion by
combining two parts fresh lemon
Sluice, one part rubbing alcohol,
one part glycerine, and perfume
as desired.
It can be used on the elbows,
too. If they are in bad condition
scrub them first with warm soapy
water with a bit of pumice stone;
then cut the lemon in half and
place an elbow in each half for
a few minutes each day.

ODD BUT SCIENCE
WORRIES COME
IN TRIPLICATE
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
AP Science Editor
NEW YORK—The twin wor
ries, claustrophobia, the fear of
closed spaces, and agoraphobia, j
fear of open spaces, are really
triplets, and the third member is
chronophobia, the fear of time.
Chronophobia, described by
Dr. Salvatore Russo, psychologist,
Rider College, Trenton, N. J., as
he saw it while psychologist at
Auburn prison, New York.
He says it is possible that
chronophobia occurs also in the
Army, Navy, in concentration
camps and among shipwrecked
persons.
In prison it is not uncommon,
he says, but has never been diag
nosed and treated, as one of the
psychoneuroses. A prisoner gave
him this description of the feel
ing:
‘‘The weight of time. Thicker
than the darkness of night, heav
ier than the walls of stone. So
thick it could not be cut by light
or penetrated by rays of thought.
“I awoke and my cell was
filled with time. It seemed to
have body and weight. It was
like a monster grasping my
throat. I gasped for breath. I
grasped the bars of my cell and
shook them frantically, pressing
my cheeks between them. The
bars were soft and soothing, and
soon my fear was quieted.

The physical appearance of
Bethlehem today is interesting.
The Church of the Nativity on
Manger Square stands resolute
guard over the Holy Grotto be
neath it. But round about have
sprung up the modern trappings
of any town. Directly across the
street is a grocery store. Cater
comered from the church is a
beautiful new police station.
“The Nativity Store’’ on Man
ger Square announces that it en
gages in ‘‘Manufacture of Moth
er-of-Pearl — Best Souvenir of
Bethlehem.’’ Mother - of - pearl
manufacture incidentally has be
come Bethlehem’s major indus
try. Much of the pearl comes
from the Red Sea. ,
Radio Plays Arab Music
Walking from Manger Square
toward Star Street you hear a
radio playing Arab music and
you pass in turn, a taxi ramp
(“Two dollars to Jerusalem, Mis
ter’’), an ice cream and lemon
ade stand, and an Arabic mosque
with a stately minaret.
These are the external signs of
any modem town.
And if you shut out the mod
em world for a little while, you
have simply to join the bands
of modem pilgrims who are
wending their way into the
Church of the Nativity and down
to the Grotto where the spell
still holds that was woven over
this sanctuary 20 centuries ago.
