FIGHT HUGE WAVES
 BY BLOWING BUBBLES

Air bubbles are being used with sue cess to fight the tremendous force of the waves that are dashed against the shore during fierce storms.
 An American engineer found that stone breakwaters were useless in cer- tain exposed places. He conceived the idea that compressed air injected into the body of the waves from below would impair their strength
 An experiment was made at a point some distance from the shore. A pipe was fitted to carry the compressed air out along the bottom of the sea, and it was arranged to release the air at certain distance, so that the bubbles would rise in cloud through the bil- lows.
 The first plant was erected at Crotch Island, Me, U. S. A. This is a. very exposed spot where boats could not be loaded when an east wind was blowing.
 Soon after the new invention was ready, a strong wind blew up which threw the spray many feet into the air. The compressed air was turned on, the bubbles released, and in a quarter of an hour the water along the shore was smooth.
 At Fl Segundo. in California, where a pier, 4000 feet long, was washed away by violent storm in one night a pneumatic breakwater was installed. When a storm came along this place was saved by the bubbles. which broke the strength and continuity of the waves. .

Beauty Chats
A CHAT ABoU T REDUCTION
By EDNA KENT FORBES

I am very glad to see from my cor respondence that as many women are interested in reducing today as two or three years ago when we first began to discuss scientific methods of reducing, in fact am inclined to think that even more women are in tereSted.
 know that the calorie method is the most difficult one to begin with. At first it seems to frightfully com plicated to find out the caloric value of foods and to sit down and figure out for yourself the actual arithme- tical value of every least little thing that you eat And yet the method is sure because it has been scientific ally worked out by experts. Besides it has been proved again and again by the number of women who have taken the tro ble to find out about calorieS, and ho have reduced as a consequence.
 I have simplified the whole subject as much l possibly can, and when talk about it I do it in as untech- nical a way as possible. Yet, even so, it will be rather complicated for you.
 First you must find out what you weigh.
 Then you must find out what you should weigh.
 Then you must find out exactly how much you are eating. Lastly you must find out exactly what you should eat.
 To simplif things as much as possi- | ble have prepared a. couple of charts which will solve the last three prob- 1 lens. One is a table of weights from which you can find what you should | weigh. the other a table of caloric values. I will gladly mail these to | anyone who asks for them if she will, for convenience. enclose a self | addressed stamped envelope with her l request.
 c. L4:-Smoke one less each day, so
 you will lot feel any bad effects | from it. If your mother knows you have been doing this and is anxious
 for you to give it up, she will be the one to help you Why not confide in
 her and if it is necessary she will
 have the doctor give you something that is, if you need it. It would help you if you could persuade your
 brother to join you in breaking the
 habit. Get into a sporting spirit
 with it and see which one can ac- coTnpIish it first.
 Peggy:-Olive oil makes a nourfsh- ing massage. Cocoa butter is also a good one. Consult the doctor about the tiny -red veins in your face. If you are full blooded. a change in diet may relieve these veins.
 Blue Eyes:-Massage the scalp with
 hot crude oil the night before the
 usual shampoo and if the dandruft
 continues send a stamped addressed
 envelope for a formula for a tonic-
