BEAUTY -IS MORE
BY BERNARR MACFADDEN

T H E ignorance of the aver-

age woman regarding the
nature of the source of
beauty and its associated allure-
ments is really pitiful. A girl
might have the beauty of a
marble statue-cold, unfeeling,
minus animation. B ut she
would not have the allure that
women desire.
Beauty that has the bewitch-
ment which attracts admiration comes from the fem-
inine charm which we refer to as sex appeal. And this
appeal must have something more than a symmetrical
figure and comely features.
The beauty salons can give one artificially every-
thing that is desired- rosy lips, facial appeal- but
spirited buoyancy, compelling aliveness, pulsating
physical energies, come only with a complete under-
standing of the physical laws of life, and the regular
care of the body essential to maintain these superior
possessions.
Some of the more progressive beauty specialists now
recognize the heal th basis of good looks, and the time
is not far distant when every beauty salon will give its
patrons, through physical culture, the charm and en-
ticement that comes with buoyant feminine aliveness.
This quality is illustrated more clearly in the healthy,
supple sprightliness of a girl in her early teens. There
is no thought of sex or sex appeal at this time of life,
but there is an attraction in life itself. I t is a joyous
experience just to be alive at that period. Like a
young colt that leaps and frolics about, a girl feels
the intoxication of superabundant health that comes
with early youth, and it is that particular aliveness
that should be maintained to maturity and even to
and beyond middle age, if a woman has the intelligence
to retain a healthy condition in the tissues of the
body throughout every part.
Age is not by any means a matter of years.
can be sixty or seventy and still your body
may be younger than one who is twenty
or twenty-five. Youth demands the use
of the entire body. Instinctively one
follows this urge in early years. The
dead cells- the cause of senility associated
with old age-are driven out.
Activity of the tissues is required to
drive the blood through the body. It is
the circulation of the blood that gives life-that de-
posits new cells and carries away the dead debris. It
is the blood that cleanses the body. The stagnation
of the tissues automatically causes the dead cells to
remain and to a certain extent clog the circulation
through these inactive parts.
Sex appeal, which is the one possession that is so
strongly desired by women- and also by men-
demands active circulation throughout all tissues of the
body, but especially in the central portions where the

 Will SEX EDUCATION Become
ILL the Protestant churches make a crusade in
W favor of sex education? This is a question one
might readily ask in the light of recent pronounce-
ments by several large and representative denom-
inations. "Our children desire and have the · right to
know before adolescence the facts regar ding the origin
of life and the nature of their personalities as it relates
to sex." This significant declaration was made b.y the
General Conference of the newly united Methodist Church
at Atlantic City in May, 1940. Representing as it does
a body of some eight million members and over twenty
million constituents, such a statement cannot be r egarded
as anything less than a most important forecast of
Methodist action.
The Roman Catholic Church has been considered by
some as being very conservative in such matters as sex
education but many of her leading educators recognize
the fact that the older methods of depending on ignorance
and evasion can no longer be expected to commend them-
selves to either the general public or to the individual
member. "The sex-impulses are too strong,'' writes
Father Felix M. Kirsc'.1, "the facts of sex too widely
known, and human curiosity is too great for the policy
of silence to secure its end, eve:i if ignorance were best.
The very conditions which make it certain that our young
people will get some sort of knowledge make it necessary
• that they should have it in the best possible form, with-
out over-emphasis either of neglect or stress. The young
people need the knowledge and are entitled to it."
This ,.·ecent interest of the churches in
sex education grows out of several rather
alarming facts to which religious leaders
have been giving serious thought. The first
of these is the unmistakable evidence that,
since the World War, there has·been a gen-
eral let-down in standards of sexual moral-
ity. This is revealed by the marked increase
in the number of sex crimes and by the
disturbing increase in the number of chil-
dren born out of wedlock. It is also the
opinion of many religious leaders that in
conversation, reading, drama, and courtship
behavior there has been such a distinct low-
ering of the standards of what is decent
and tolerable that it is time for the
churches to do something about it.
A second significant fact is the frequency
with which the ignorance of basic sex knowl-
edge appears as a major contributing factor
in cases of juvenile delinquency, family dis-
cord, perversions, pre-marital pl'egnancy,
and marriage failures. While few in-
formed church leaders believe that ignorance of sex

By Dr. Oliver M. Butterfield

of discussions on sex-social problems, just

one girl, out of all the s ixty or seventy
members of the young people's society, was
refused permission to attend by her parents.
But within t he next five years that very girl
had not less than two illegal operations before
she finally married. Knowing the family and
the girl as I did, I have strong reason to
suspect that her abysmal ignorance of sex
made her an all too easy prey to her own
passions and the designs of her male com-
panions. .
A young clergyman went to a pastoral
charge in the l\Iiddle West determined to do
all that he could to assist the couples he mar-
ried to make the most of their marriages.
Among other helps he offered each couple one
of the widely used books dealing with sexual
behavior in marriage. The day before a
wedding, the girl's father called him in off
the street saying, "Young man, I want to talk
to you." When safely behind his office door
the older man spoke something as follows:
"You're a real minister. For more than
twenty years my wife and I have quarreled
over the sexual side of our marriage. Several
times we have been on the verge of quitting
and each time agreed to go on until our
daughter was manied. Now you have started
her off with the sort of help we should have
had years ago. She let her mother and me
read that book and it has settled our prob-
lem, too. So many things we never knew
before. You're a real minister."
I could go on endlessly with experiences of
my own and those reported to me by fellow
clergymen showing how marriages have gone

of unmarried motherhood, beys have suffered

HE first time I met Mrs. Opal Hill was at the Merion Cricket
T Club in Philadelphia during the Women's National Golf
Championship in 1926. She was registered from Meadow
Lake, Kansas, and no one in the East knew very much about her.
Mrs. Hill had played the game only a few years, but was the
perfect example of what golf can do for a woman, and what
a woman can do to golf when she puts her mind to it.
It was Opal's bad luck that the dr aw pitted her against
Glenna Collett in the first round. Glenna was the top hand of
American golf, and one of t he finest players among the skirted
contingent in all the world. Ever yone expei::ted the woman from
the West to go down to humiliating defeat. But she didn't.
Playing magnificently, and with sublime cour age, she carried
the champion to the 17th hole before bowing out.
:Vlrs. Hill thus became the first beacon of hope for Mrs.
Average Housewife, who needs an outdoor hobby to keep the
scales of health balanced. She was ill and depressed when her
physician suggested she take up the game, and she accepted
his prescription with no real hope that it would do her any
good. Day after day Opal was out in the sun and the wind,
and within a few months was tanned and fit, and feeling better
than she had ever done since she was a little girl. But, some-
thing else happened.
PM>I.. w d<111e She became fascinated by the possibilities of the game and,
o.M /11f~ofi....t Ntt1
as she began feeling better, spent more and more time master-
ing shots. Within a couple of years Opal was one of the best
players in the Middle West, and made her bid for National
recognition.
Women's golf today is amazingly good, and, as a matter
of fact, has improved proportionately more than men's. Ladies
can play golf. They play a lot better than most of us believe
possible, and are getting better all the time. If they can go
around in any sort of reasonable figures, they add something
to the game that would be lacking otherwise. Woman has a
natural grace that makes her a delight on the dance floor, or
diving board, or anywhere that grace is a factor in achievement,
as it cer tainly is on the links.
One of the reasons for her improvement is that she takes
better care of herself than the average man. During a tourna-

It has been proven by many tests that keeping the eye on a
moving object is easier than on a still one. So, concentration
and control are the determining factors in tournament
golf. The game simmers down to a war of nerves.
Women, as a whole, are supposed to be inferior to men
in these qualities, in addition to being the weaker

stronger one will hit the longer
ball. That is why even the most powerful hitters among the
women fall far short of the male siege guns.
Last year I made a movie short of star golfers at Augusta,
where the Masters' Tournament was being played. Among the
spectators was freckled, stocky, lovable Patty Berg, who happens
to be the best woman golfer in the world today-and Patty
agreed to hit some shots for me.
With the camera geared for slow motion, I had Miss Berg
and Sam Snead, one of the longest hitters the game ever saw,
drive off at the same time. They started their backswing at a
given signal. Like most women, Miss Berg is very slow going
back, and she had not quite reached t he top of her swing by the
time Snead was already coming down.
The slow motion camera recorded a very interesting fact.
Sam's ball was already soaring down the fairway quite a dis-
tance by the time Patty struck hers. There was that much
difference in the speed and power generated by an outstanding
man and woman. We paced off the (Continued on page 62)

F first, from Philadelphia, Pa., when Sam Thompson, hearty,
enthusiastic veteran of t he 1939 Macfadden Health Walk, led
a contingent of men and women from nineteen states and
Canada on a 350-mile hike to Physical Culture H otel.
The walk started from Philadelphia and covered the dairy and
anthracite regions of · Pennsylvania and New York. Eugene
Bonniwell, Municipal Court Judge and Chairman of the Middle
Atlantic Amateur Athletic Union, fired t he starting gun.
Together with Charles E . Klein, Judge of Orphans' Court, Phila-
delphia, he gave the hikers a civic stamp of approval from the
Quaker City.
Youngest walker was Elizabeth Thompson Heilbron, nine, and
the oldest was Charles Merz, sixty-seven, of Fort Lee, N. J.
Among the walkers were lawyers, business men and women,
housewives, a chemist, a retired inventor, a Y. M. C. A. executive,
a theatrical agent and an engineer. Many were veterans of pre-
vious l\facfadden hikes and all were inspired by the health-build-
ing benefits of walking. One of the features of the walk was
the regular. serving of fresh milk and buttermilk at intervals
during each day. This free service was provided by the Eastern
Guernsey Breeders Association in appreci?.tion of the health-
spirited leader of the walk, 3am Thompson, who is a member
of the association. An average 0f be~.ter than twenty miles a
day was maintained.
One of our staunchest hiking friends is Verne E. Miller.
President of the Philippine Education Company in Manila, and
a veteran Macfadden wa.l.ker. Mr. Miller took part in the 1939
walk to Dansville and went back home so full of enthusiasm he
has been lecturing all over the island, proclaiming the great
health benefits of the popular pastime. Every morning in Manila

Children are sometimes apparently
retarded who are in reality wholly
normal. For example those who have
a poor musical sense are slow to recog-
nize sound differences and often are
very late in learning to talk.
It is also true that children who have
special · aptitudes arc often apparently
dull because they are absorbed in the
things that interest them and pay no
attention to the rest. For example,
Thomas A. Edison, the electrical wiz-
ard, a mechanical genius, was put out
of school as a young child because he
would give no heed to book learning
and the teacher declared he was un-

I returned to the municipal float with
rare shopping booty, native spl'ing lamb,
green peas and fresh strawberries, to
find a visitor aboard. He was in fisher-
man's uniform, his shirttail tied in a
little knot behind and his hip boots
cuffed down at the knee like a medieval
swordsman.
"Mr. Willis has been telling me about
the coast," Robe1·t said. "He's been all
along British Columbia and in Alaska."
"And I'd like to be going again," Mr.
Willis said. "It's a great trip you've

He met us on what he called his "fore-

out over the water did give the feel of
shipboard. He explained the nautical
atmosphere of his home very simply.
"Knew how to keep ship, but keeping
house would have bothered me."
In the early evening Mr. Willis rowed
out to the Yakima and joined us for
after-dinner coffee. We got out the
charts. If we'd not had any charts
aboard, I think he could have drawn
them for us. His memory was almost
photographic. He described long, wind-

the hig h mountains, waterfalls which Aunt Patty: And don't let him forget it, Lil! Right in that crisp wheat-flake cereal,

 and nineteen. I don't mean by this that
at your age you should not run a mile
or play at football- but a boy of
thirteen should never run the mile in
competition with others or engage in
football scrimmages.
For the next four years devote your
training and athletic efforts to slow
jogging, always slowing down to a
walk as soon as you begin to get out
of breath or tired and start jogging
again when you get your "wind" back.
This will build up your endurance and
your heart action. Vary this at short
intervals by practicing quick starts and
short fast sprints of 25 yards. This will
give you the technique of starting and
develop your speed-and it is speed
and endurance that wins all races.
This training will also develop your
speed and stamina and leg strength for
playing football when you come of
proper age-but confine all your foot-
ball playing for the next four years to
practicing kicking, passing, catching
punts and passes and perfecting your-
self in the fundamentals of the game
and you will be a better football player
and less subject to injury than if you
participate in scrimmage play before
you have built up your strength and
developed your protective muscles.
