* * * * * Don't be Half-safe! VALDA by SHERMAN At the first blush of womanhood many mysterious changes take place in your body. For instance, the apocrine glands under your arms begin to secrete daily a type of perspiration you have never known before. This is closely related to physical development and causes an unpleasant odor on both your person and your clothes. There is nothing "wrong" with you. It's just another sign you are now a woman, not a girl ... so now you must keep yourself safe with a truly effective underarm deodorant. Two dangers— Underarm odor is a real handicap at this romantic age, and the new cream deodorant Arrid is made especially to overcome this very difficulty. It kills this odor on contact in 2 seconds, then by antiseptic action prevents the formation of all odor for 48 hours and keeps you shower-bath fresh. It also stops perspiration and so protects against a second danger— perspiration stains. Since physical exertion, embarrassment and emotion can now cause your apocrine glands to fairly gush perspiration, a dance, a date, an embarrassing remark may easily make you perspire and offend, or ruin a dress. All deodorants are not alike — so remember — no other deodorant tested stops perspiration and odor so completely yet so safely as new Arrid. Its safety has been proved by doctors. That's why girls your age buy more Arrid than any other age group. In fact, more men and women everywhere use Arrid than any other deodorant. It's antiseptic, used by 117,000 nurses. Intimate protection is needed — so protect yourself with this snowy, stainless cream that smooths on and disappears. This new Arrid, with the amazing new ingredient Creamogen, will not crystallize or dry out in the jar. The American Laundering Institute has awarded Arrid its Approval Seal— harmless to fabrics. Arrid is safe for the skin— non-irritating— can be used right after shaving. Don't be half-safe. During this "age of romance" don't let perspiration problems spoil your fun. Don't be half-safe — be Arrid-safe! Use Arrid to be sure. Get Arrid now at your favorite drug counter — only 39'.' plus tax.

DANCING OR LISTENING COUNT BASIE (RCA Victor) — Any time the Count makes a record you can be sure that the "beat is there." No exception, this. Jimmy Rushing sings "Money Is Honey" and the band rocks on "Guest In A Nest." TEX WILLIAMS (Capitol)— Believe it or not, this is a Western band with a real beat, too. A Kentonish introduction on "Flo From St. Joe, Mo." and a clever novelty lyric on "Suspicion" make this a recommended disc. THELONIOUS MONK (Blue Note)— Basic requirements tor a be-bop collection are four sides by the "genius of bop." In the order of our own preference, it's "Suburban Eyes," "Well You Needn't." "Round About Midnight" and "Thelonious." XAVIER CUGAT (Columbia) — Not authentic Latin-American music, but both listenable and danceable are "Cugat's Nougats" and "The Mexican Shuffle." RAY McKINLEY (RCA VICTOR)— "A Man Could Be A Wonderful Thing" is a wonderful thing the way Ray does it. Marcy Lutes, the new gal vocalist, is fine. Backing is Ray again singing "Tambourine." ART LUND (MGM)— Irving Berlin's "It Only Hanpens When I Dance With You" is well sung by Art and well played by Johnny Thompson's band. "May I Still Hold You," the reverse, isn't nearly as pretty a melody. BOB CROSBY— JERRY GRAY (Bullet)— Good as Bob is, he is made to sound better by the Jerry Gray orchestral background and some tasteful choral background by the Crew Chiefs. It's the old "You're My Everything" and the new "It's Got To Be." SCAT MAN CROTHERS (Capitol)— As the Scat Man himself might say, this is neat, reet but not so sweet. It's as wHrd a pairing as we've ever hoped to hear. Lots of fun listening to "The Thing" and "Dead Man's Blues." ALBUM ARTISTRY STORMY MONDAY BLUES (RCA Victor)— A set of eight sides of Earl Hines and his orchestra with vocals by Billy Eckstine makes a fine package. Recorded from 1940 to 1942, this group of selections is of interest to Hines, Eckstine, blues, piano or jazz collectors. JO STAFFORD (Capitol) — Jo sings American folk songs with full orchestral accompaniment instead of the usual guitar background. "Barbara Allen," "Black Is The Colour" and "He's Gone Away" are outstanding. Paul Weston's backings are excellent. FRANZ LEHAR WALTZES (London)— A very unusual package from the Continent, this. It features the composer himself conducting the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra in waltzes from "Eva" and the "Count of Luxembourg" and the "Gold And Silver Waltz." STAN KENTON (Capitol)— Whether or not you like the Kenton school of progressive jazz, this is of particular interest for its attempts at emotional portrayal in the modern musical form. "Lonely Woman" is haunting, "Monotony" is unusual. FACING the MUSIC
