contests with their whole soul they

chalking up two mere victories, but,
having already whipped Washington
and Lee rather easily and with Flr-
ginia Military Institute represented by
what seems TO be weak combination,
it is possible for them to play at far
less than their true ability.
Catholic University expects to play
good basket ball and looks for at least
an even break on its trip. The Brook
landers know that in lat least one
game, that with Fordham, they are
going to have all the trouble they
want and more. But Yale seems to
be anything but strong, and in all

How bAchieg.y!;.e5: Beauty B
What Your Weight Should Be

Beauty is more than skin deep.
Your outward appearance and eX-
preston are based on your entire
system, your habits of living, your
mode of thonght, in short general
physical and mental health. Since
both your mental and physical
health depend SO much on your
diet, am going to devote this week
to tell you how to select and pro-
portion the food you take into your
body.
First, you must determine
whether you weigh what you
should, whether you are too fat or
too thin. Your weight will tell you
whether you need the kind of diet
that will build you up or reduce
you or whether you can get along
on just ordinary good, healthful
diet for a normal person.
Many women have misconcep-
tion about what they should weigh
because they do not consider all
the factors that go into it. When
you determine your proper weight,
you have to consider more than
just so many pounds for so many
feet and inches. You should have a
different weight than a man of
your same age and height. Then
you should not weigh the same
when you are a young girl as you
will when you have reached ma
ture years.
For instance a woman of so
should weigh from twenty to thirty
pounds more than a girl of 10 of
the height. A girl 10 years old and
five feet, three inches tall should
weigh 120 pounds. A woman so the
