Instead, astronom- CTS at the Harvard observatory said, she slipped past the moon, never en- tirely hiding her tinery The observ- CTS said the brilliant disc of Venus barely shaved the upper horn of the moon.

GIRLS CAN DIET TOO MUCH
Result May Be Curvature Of The
 Spine, Dietitian Says

Young girls who are dieting for fear of getting fat are in danger of contracting curvature of the spine or some other defirmity. Dr. Helen &. Mitchell, chief dietitian in charge of the experimental laboratories of the Battle Creek sanitarium, emphasizes the importance of teaching the peo- pie correct food values. The question of young women restricting their diet was called to her attention.
 Girls younger than 25 need have little fear of becoming too fleshy," she said. What they need most is to select for themselves a we'll balanced diet, one that will give them the proper amount of protein and min erals and that will furnsh the neces- sary vitamines. I have no doubt that the many cases of spinal curvature and of. other defirmites of the skele- ton in young girls are due to insuf- ficiency of mineral matter in the food. Young girls should drink plen- ty of miuk and eat an abundance or vegetables. They can easily select foods that bulk largely but that have low calory content. if they show a tendency to take on unde- sirable weight. But in any event, they need variety in diet."-Detroit News.

Ely Stevens Covering a Steadily
 Widening Field Of Customers

Ely Stevens established a bakery business in Ensley in 1912, but in eight years it had grown so greatly that he sought bigger field and moved to Birmingham. For the past three years the Home Bakery com pany, located at 2515 Fourth avenue, north. has been developing a whole sale business that now counts as its customers many of the leading res taurants. hotels and grocery stores of Birmingham.
 The plant has the best of modern equipment, and Mir. Stevens special izes in the baking of bread, cakes and pies for wholesale distribution.
 of course, we do a retail business, too, and are glad to serve any who come to buy of us," said MT. Stevens, but the bulk of our business is in wholesale production. It is our first aim, however. to make our quantity output just as good as though we baked only one pie, or one loaf of bread for a single customer. That, l think, has been the secret of our success.
