C2 The Pittsburgh Press Friday. May 18. 1984 How to erase that bathtub ring Scaife Gallery closing in July THE KIRJSEY REPORT By Dr. June Reinisch HELOISE HINTS to get new look By Ann Daly Sex OK during pregnancy The Pittsburgh Press DEAR HELOISE: How do I clean a bathtub and wall tile that have been neglected for 26 years? The problem with the tub is a dark ring around the bottom at the sides. Also, the tile is dull around the tub area.

How can I restore the dull tile? M. J. If yonr tab has a porcelain finish, which because of its age I suspect it does, I'd guess the finish is worn and scratched from the use of too mach scouring powder. Here's what to do: Fill the tub with warm water and add approximately two cups of chlorine beach and one cup powdered laundry detergent Stir well, then let this mixture stay in the tub for two or three hours or overnight. Drain the tub, then scrub it with a tub brush.

Run rinse water in the tub until all traces of detergent are gone. The Sarah Scaife Gallery, which houses the If any stains remain, try applying bleach directly to them. Let the bleach sit for three or four minutes, then rinse. If the stains still remain, I can only suggest you have the tub refinished. Check your classified telephone directory for "porcelain enamel re-, pairing and refinishing" listings, ask for references and check the firms with your local Better Business Bureau office before giving them the job.

FORCEFIELD positivi moor of am hu DEAR DR. REINISCH: Does making love during pregnancy hurt the baby or the mother? No, there's no scientific evidence that sexual intercourse at any stage of pregnancy harms the vast majority, mothers or babies. However, there are a few exceptions to this general role. Sexual intercourse should be discontinued until a doctor can be consulted if the woman has vaginal bleeding, pain or leakage of amniotic fluid. Women who have a prior history of premature labor and delivery or miscarriages, or whose cervix has dilated, suggesting onset of labor, are usually cautioned against experiencing an orgasm.

The uterine contractions associated with an orgasm may induce labor, which can be a problem until the fetus- is fully developed. However, orgasm may be seen as a positive, nonHchemical way to initiate labor atUhe end of the full gestation period. Studies have compared babies Jborn to women who continued sex-Jial intercourse throughout pregnancy with those of women who stopped having intercourse at some point in the pregnancy. Research also has Compared babies born to mothers who reported having orgasms with babies whose mothers didn't have Drgasms. No significant differences were found among these babies on any measures of infant health.

Some women report a decreased interest in sex during pregnancy because they feel nauseous, exhausted or physically uncomfortable; others report an increased interest Even if intercourse isn't desired or a doctor has advised against it for a valid medical reason, many women report they need more physical closeness, caressing and non-coital sexual contact to feel loved. Many are concerned about changes in their physical appearance. Couples who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy should know It's extremely unlikely that any sex-Qal activity on their part was a direct cause of the loss. 1 DEAR DR. REINISCH: I'm apparently allergic to non-oxynol, the spermicide used in every foam I can find.

Are there any other effective foams that use some other chemical? Allergic reactions to non-oxynol are fairly unosaa); most estimates place these reactions at about 5 percent of all users. It could be you're allergic to one of the other ingredients included in the base of the product, not the active ingredient non-oxynol. Because these ingredients vary from one brand-name product to another, you might want to try another brand that uses different filler ingredients. You might also consider vaginal creams or jellies that use different chemical spermicides such as phen-ylmercuric borate, glyceryl ricino-leate, octoxynol or dodecaethy-lene-glycol monolaurate (chemical names found on the labels of brand-name products). You should also consider other sources of vaginal irritation and itching.

Have a doctor check for yeast or other common vaginal infections. Other causes of problems could be an allergy to condoms or to ingredients used to preserve condoms; an allergy to douches, especially scented or flavored; taking antibiotics that can upset the normal vaginal environment; wearing tight clothing around the crotch or thighs; wearing synthetic panties instead of cotton; or being sensitive to the dyes in colored toilet paper or to laundry detergents. These allergic-type reactions can also happen to men and, in some cases, can be passed back and forth between male and female partners. Good personal hygiene and careful washing and drying of all folds and areas around the genitals also is important. The contraceptive effectiveness of foams, creams or jellies used by themselves is variable.

Of 100 women using foam for one year, between two to 29 will become pregnant; using jellies or creams, four to 36 will become pregnant. Combining either of these products with either a diaphragm or condom increases its effectiveness, but all these methods depend on the user following instructions exactly.

They were not painted by artists with the intention of being shown in very large galleries with white ceilings, walls and lots of natural light." While the Scaife Gallery is closed, a show of major works from the permanent collection will be shown in portions of the Heinz Galleries.

The reorganization of the museum will include a new introductory area with information about the museum and its collection, according to the museum in-house publication, "Artifacts." It outlines other modifications: Both the pre-World War II European and American art collections will be reorganized into historically continuous progressions. The European collection will have four galleries and the American collection two. The gallery space for the rapidly growing contemporary art collection will be expanded. A new gallery will be created for the arts of Western Pennsylvania. In each area, paintings and sculpture will be integrated with the decorative arts.

In addition to color and partitions, the galleries will receive additional lighting, more seating and rest areas, new labeling and significantly more educational material. Exact date for the July closing has not yet been set. Lane hopes to reopen the first week of November.

Farther on, there are examples of the best design that the world has to offer and that the museum has fostered since its pioneering "Machine Art" exhibit in 1934. Hockey masks and colored plastic boxes are the order of the day alongside the "finer" stuff of Marcel Breuer furniture and Tiffany glass. Located on the ground floor and lower level are the sorely needed temporary exhibition galleries, where the inaugural "International Survey of Recent Painting and Sculpture" show continues through Aug. 7. The space is a flexible setup, which the museum will be able to use for huge shows like this one or for several smaller ones.

"International Survey" is clearly the museum's response to a lot of loud criticism that it has not paid enough attention to contemporary art. So, here's an encyclopedic volume of 195 works done since 1975 by 165 artists from 17 countries.
