Your Figure.

One hears a great deal about the
perfect 80" and it really isn't 80 at
all. Here are the alleged measure
ments:
Neck, 1917 inches; bust, 81 inches;
waist. &c inches; hips. 40 inches. The
length of the skirt from the waist line
to the floor is four inches.
The perfect sc should measure ION
inches inside the sleeve measure. The
line down the back from the base of
the collar to the waistline should be
15M inches. These figures are for
the average, but the measurements, of
course, can vary. For instance. the
perfect SO. according to tailors and
dressmakers, range from SO to 80
inches, although 81 is the ideal.
Seventy-hve per cent of women are
below the SO standard and most Of the
rest are over. This is because they
have permitted their muscles to be-
come fiabby and loose from lack Of ex-
ercise, and have either taken on weight
or lost 1t.

Camp Macarthur put on an exhi-

the big review of the 32nd division
in honor of the governors of the

LAWYERS TO HELP DRAFT

Provost Marshal General Crowder
OF the war department, at Washing
ton. has requested the members Of
the general council of the American
nation OF a legal advisory board for
each state and for each county, whose
duties it shall be to assist registrants
under the selection service law of
their rights and obligations and to as
sist them in the preparation of their
answers to the questions which all
who are subject to draft are required
to submit.
The governor of the state has been
requested in this connection to con
stItute legal advisory boards in such
numbers and within such districts as
shall be convenient to the rcgistrants
who will have to appear before a local
or district board in the state, to which
such registrants may apply for all
necessary advice and assistance in
preparing claims, missionaries, or
other papers required by the selective
service regulations to be submitted by
the registrants.
All lawyers of the state will, there
fore, consider themselves drafted for
this service, although certain lawyers
will undoubtedly be designated in
each county as a legal advisory board
to see that the corporations request
ed by the provost marshal general
and governor is obtained. This ser
vice is in response to a request from
the president that the members of the
legal profession, tender their service
in order that the selcctive service
regulations may be carried out as ef-
hciently and promptly as possible.
This matter has been submitted to
the . of the state and attor-
neg General and it is probable that
within a few days a central committee
viii be organized anC a legal advis-
DRY board within each county appoint
ed, as above indicted.
