Queen Always Wears Earrings For Pictures

By Alvin Steinkcps

LONDON, (AP) -- Rarely is the Queen photographed without ear- rings-and thereby hangs an in- dustrial boomlet.

A trade maglazine said Elizabeth, probably never dreaming she was doing anything of the kind, has touched off "one of the most re- markable fashion developments within memory."

Factories in Birmingham. which is the heart of the earring industry. can't keep cup with orders, and hundreds of craftsmen are exert-

ing their skill bringing out new cause when we framed it. I had and wondrous designs. no idea that it would be completed One factory has just stopped this BT31”. Wm) the farm-Work be- Sgzchgglghngaxullgrzggggfefnfug

making necklaces and bracelets and devotes all its time to keeping up with the earring demand.

"Never before have so many wo- Iaen owned and worn so many pairs of earrings in such variety of shapes, sizes and colors," the trade paper said.

The demand ranges from tiny bits of sparkle to brighten up the ear lobes. to long. dangling affairs which tinkle and touch the shoul- ders.

Jewelers were agreed that the example of the Queen has stimulat- ed the earring fad because in fashion she is an influential pace- setter. But other women of the Royal Family, the Queen Mother. Princess Margaret and the Duchess of Kent have contributed to the popularity of earrings, and so have many of the glamor girls who ap- pear in television programs.

Another craftsman - he doesn't quite know whether he is an artist or I bit of n surgeon-also has benefited. He is the specialist who punctures holes in the ear lobes.

some women can't endure the kind of earrings which snap on like clothes pins, so the ear-piercing business booms.

"I guess you might y that faith built it." he offered with a smile when we talked of it today, "be-

"More likely it was courage," we returned.

"Well. whatever it was," he chuckled. "it worked!”

And we looked back remembered his early rising-s. his late retirings -recalled too the willing: assistance of the rest of the Family: James and the younger farmer, Jeanie with her contributions of food to help us over a busier day; Jamie to fetching and carrying and Gage doing his bit.

"sires incontinence occurs in a variety of circumstances; in the young and old. in women who have borne childrem and those who have not, independently of any urinary disorder, in the fat and the thin. in old age. in nervous disorders. after operations. and when no other dis- ease of an kind is present."

It wonl seem that in women the sphincter muscles (muscles that close the tube carryirm urine out of the body) are not strong in many cases so than. only slight prmsure against the bladder walls causes them to push out urine through the weak sphincter musc- les. When bladder is full. of course. rihe e xtra pressure causes incon-

tinence.

What about treatment for incon-

ltinerice of urine?

Weight reduction has helped some cases but the most successful treatment. in 19 cases, was exer- cises. "The exercises were very sim-

lple. The patient is told to tighten ,these sphincter muscles. Just as if she were trying to prevent the es- cape of urine. At the same time she is to tighten or contract the sphincter muscles of the anus l (lower opening of bowel) as if she 'were trying to prevent the escaipe of gas or waste waste from the bowel."

Improvement in urinary control is usually evident within a month after the exercises are begun. How- ever. if there is prolapse of uter- us or vagina, these disorders should be corrected by surgical means Sometimes it is nccemary to make little fucks in the opening to lessen its size.

However. when there is no other disorder. this simple tightening of the sphincter muscles helps many cases. .
