FujI Shoulders; Trim Hips

In scanning articles upon the subject of correct dress, you, fierce or gentle reader. might well exclaim, "Why should any man be expected to own all those different things? If that is style. only a millionaire can afford to keep up with it." True enough, but YOU are not expected to accept every thing that is shown, but only to select what strikes your fancy, suits your fig ure and meets your means and needs. Every man is not such a favorite of fortune as to possess an Adirondack camp a Newport villa; Florida house. boat and a California bungalow. Not every man breeds polo ponies; main- tains his private golf links and plays his income tax in six figures.
 However, every man, within his sta- ton and sphere, be they high or humble, has certain social and business obliga- tions to fulfill and by their fulfillment he gives the measure of his character and capacity. More than ever before in its history, the world sizes you up by your appearance. Therefore, don't mark yourself down. Correct dress is the least expensive way to make fla vorable impressions and win fattering opinions. It doesn't take a lot of money 1t merely takes little time and thought. Care, taste and the pocket book with a hole in it actually go far ther than a bottomless purse not con- trolled by discrimination and a knowl- edge of style tendencies.

SHOALS HOLDS
 RIGHT OF WAY
Congress To Resume Its Grind Wednesday And
 Work Until March 4

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The Christmas week recess at an end, con gress goes back to the grind tomorrow with house and senate facing legislative tasks that are expected to keep them working at top speed until the close of the present session March 4.
 The Muscle Shoals problem, vexing as ever, still has right of way in the senate, which also faces showdown early next week on the question of post poning the presidential veto of the postal salaries bill and is pledged before the windup of the session to take acton on the Isle of Pines treaty.
 On the house side, appropriation bills will continue to have priority, with leaders planning also to dispose of the McFadden bank bill and per haps the rivers and harbors authoriza- tion measure during January.
 The house already, has sent three of the dozen annual supply bills to the senate. The treasury-postoffice meas ure carrying more than three quarters of billion dollars and incidentally the largest peace-time appropriation bill in congressional history, will be disposed this week, clearing the way for the army supply bill which next week will have right of way.
 Thus far the senate has failed to take up any of the appropriation bills, all though their consideration in commit tee has begun.

PAST RULER ELKS
 DIES THEC COAST
Robert Wood Brown Was Editor Of Elks
 Magazine
(By Associated Press

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 2S.-Robert Wood Brown, past grand exalted ruler of the Elks and editor of the Elks Ma tional magazine, died at his home here today of cerebral hemorrhage. He was first stricken when visiting his mothers grave on Easter Sunday, 1923, at Rus sellville, Ky.
 Brown, born in Kentucky, served as city and managing editor of the Louis vile Times for 39 years, leaving that paper in 1915. In 1902 he was elected grand trustee of the Elks and he became grand exalted ruler in 1905. In this term he attained national prominence by chartering a special train at Wash ington, D. G., and rushing it loaded with supplies to the relief of San Fran cisco on first news of the great fire, accompanying the train in person and establishing relief headquarters in Oak land.
 It had been his custom annually to go to Russellville in time to be at his mothers grave Easter morning and he was at her grave when he suffered the stroke that resulted in his death her etoday at the age of 62. His wife, known to Elks as Sister Mary" survives him here, and two brothers, railroad officials, live al Nashville, Tenn. Funeral arrange ments have not been announced further than that following Elks ceremonies here the body will be sent to Louisville for burial next spring.

RADIO TO SEEK TRAIL
 OF LOST EXPLORERS
Three Stations To Try To Learn
 Fate Of Nutting
lRx Associated Press. ]

PITTSBURG, Dec. 28.-An effort will be made tomorrow night by three American radio stations to get in touch with members of the Nutting expedition, lost in the Arctic wastes for four months.
 Stations KDKA, East Pittsburg WBZ, Springfield, Mass, and XIV, Chicago, will radiocast a special mes- sage, addressed to inhabitants of the Arctic region, asking for news of the ill-fated expedition.
 The Nutting expedition, organized by William Nutting to follow the course taken by the Vikings in their daring ventures to the North American con tinent, left Denmark September 8, last, bound for Battle Harbor, Labrador. Nutting was accompanied by Arthur Hildebrand, John Todahl and Mir. Fleischer. Their ship, the Lief Fries son, has not been heard of since 1t passed the southern Greenland coast. Government criusers and airplanes have conducted a fruitless search for the ex- petition.
 The effort to obtain news of Nutting and his party by radio was deferred until this time, when trappers from the remote Arctic regions make their pill grimages to the trading stations. It is hoped that these posts, equipped with wireless receiving sets, will communicate the message to the trappers who may have some word of the lost men.

CHAIR RENTER PAYS 4AFTEE IO-YEAR WAIT
Conscience Money Sent By An
 American To B-itisher
lRx Associated Pressl

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Remittance money long owed to various depart ments of the British government is not unusual, but NJ. W. Shanley, the chair king of London, who has placed thou sands of chairs about the city's parks which he rents for two pence each, has received from America his first cons- cience money, a penny which an un- known American forgot to pay for the rent of Hyde park chair ten years ago. The penny and the letter have been preserved as prized souvenirs.
 Mir. Shanley's business is the only one of it's kind in England, and was es- tablished by his father 80 years ago. Shanley owns more than 10000 chairs and employs a large force of men to go about collecting the tupenny rental. Re- ceipt tickets are given, and the Occu- pant may retain the chair the entire day for his two pence.
 Most of the chairs are placed in groups of two, but it was an eye for business, not a desire to befriend lovers, that die tated the grouping, according to Mir. ShanIey. He noticed that people gen. orally went about in twos, and that groups of three or for were much in fhe minority So he arranged his chairs accordingly.

FARM RELIEF BILL
 HELD AID TO PICKER
lRy Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-The farmer-to consumer league announced to- day it had filed protest with the Presi- dents agricultural commission against the proposed Capper-Williams bill for agricultural relief.
 The measure was described in the statement "as nothing more or less than sugar-coated pill prepared in the in- terest of Chicago packers and New York middlemen." Declaring the proposed bill also to be of 'paternalistic charac- ter," the statement added that 'the packer, the commission merchant, pro- duce broker and the parasitic middle men are given an equal opportunity in deciding what prices shall be paid to the farmer for his products"
 The future of the cooperative market ing association is challenged by this bill, the statement asserted, recommend ing the Curtis-Aswell measure provid- ing for national organization as the kind that will enable agriculture to de- fend itself, against exploitation and save itself from ruin by it's exploiters." ."
