Hip-Reducing Exercise.

Dear Miss Leeds: ID My hips are
extremely large for my age and size
and l would like to reduce them. l
am 19 years old and weigh 118 pounds.
(2) My hair is brown and very curly.
For a day or so after washing 1t is
light brown, but becomes dark soon.
want it light to contrast with my dark
brown eyes, and yet do not want to
bleach it with peroxide, as that is
harmful to the hair. Can you suggest
a mild. harmless bleach for it?
Answer-(D You forgot to state
your height, so that I cannot judge
whether or not you are too heavy. II
you are five feet one or two inches
tall, your weight is correct. Unless
your hips measure more than 36
inches and you are very short in
stature, they are not too wide. Many
girls nowadays want to have straight
hipless figures. like boy, but Mother
Nature makes the widest part Of the
feminine figure at the hips. 1t will DO
you no harm, however, to do exercises
for making the muscles of the hips
firm. Rolling exercises are good foi
the purpose. Place a padded quilt or
thin mattress on the floor and lie on 1t
on your right side. Keeping your back

forward as far as you can and touch
the floor with your pointed toe. Now
swing the leg back. Repeat the for
ward and backward swings, letting
your body roll on the right hip. Turn
over and repeat on the other side.
You will find other hip-reducing exer-
cises in my leaflet, Beauty Exer-
cises," which l shall be glad to send
you on receipt of stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope. {2) In my opinion
you are foolish to want to bleach your
pretty, curly brown hair. Dark hair
and eyes are just as attractive as dark
eyes and light hair. If you do bleach
the ends you will find that the hair
keeps on growing out dark at the
roots so that you will have to have
it retouched regularly near the scalp.
The only thing I would recommend In
your case is a mild lemon or henna
rinse. They are used as final rinses
after your shampoo. To make the
lemon, mix one tablespoonful Of
strained lemon juice in one quart Of
water. The henna rinse that brings
out the bronze lights in dark hair Is
made by brewing two ounces of dried
henna leaves in one quart of boiling
water. Let the mixture stand until
cool and then strain 1t. Dilute the
mixture with water II you want 1t
lighter in shade. LOIS LEEDS.

Shorter Skirts
 Solpe Rat Problem .Of Nurses

LONDON, Dec. 32-Nurses Ut the Enfield Isolation Hospital of World 5 End have been granted permission to wear shorter skirts because of the plague of mice.
 The mice for months have cen tered their attentions on the nurses quarters, until the dwell CTS therein were constantly on the verge of prostration. The mice got into the beds of the young women, chased about their bed rooms, got into the bath rooms. reared families under the floors and made themselves al home generally The mice simply defied all efforts to exterminate them, and made the professional mice catchers wish they were en- gagged in another profession.
 At "a meeting of the hospital board it was suggested that the buildings in which the nurses live should be handed over to the mice and new accommodations sought for the young ladies. As last resort. however, the board asked the surveyor to recommend a rem edy. and he suggested shorter skirts as a measure of temporary relief.

FRENCH AGAIN
 TRY FIxINC C OF
 PRICE OF MEAT

PARIS, Dec 22-Official price. fixing for butchers is again being attempted here to bring down the cost of living. Shortly after the wartime boom of 1920 there was q great outcry against meat prices and there were many prosecutions for violations of official prize lists.
 Bakers all over France have had bread prices fixed for them by official commissions, with wheat quotations as the basis
 Butchers have proved more dif- ficult to handle. Their resistance to argument by a special city commission caused the govern. ment. which shares largely in gov erning Paris, to approve drastic methods. Premier poincare and the cabinet adopted a plan 10 make obligatory a scale of prices 10 be drafted weekly by the city These prices are required 10 be posted. just as every restaurans must post it's menu with prices.
 Much of the expense of Bremen butchers is attributed to waste in not having proper refrigeration and the disproportionate amount of overhead expense because of the large number of small butch or shops.
