MHADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

A practical advantage in being short
is evident in the selection of milady's
wardrobe. The slender girl who is
under feet inches in height may
purchase frocks at q decided saving in
the junior department of clothing
shops She may wear youthful styles
and if she makes her own clothes they
require less material than the tall
girls do.
On the other hand. he short girls
figure is seldom in the ideal proper
tions. Her head is too large and her
legs too short. In the perfect feminine
form the vertical distance from the
crown of the head TO the under sur
face of the chin should divide into her
height 71a or times; that IS. she
should be az or s heads tall. While
she is in her teens and early 20s,
before her figure has matured. the
short girl looks younger than her
years. but when bust and Lips become
we'll developed her figure seems too
heavy in proportion to her low stature.
After all is said in gard to the
relative advantages of being tall or
short, however, the fact remains that
a girl cannot alter her height at will.
Instead of envying her friends fig
ures, she should set about studying
her own type and making the most OF
it. She should put her health first
If she is n tall, large type. no amount
Of dieting can transform her into n

it makes her look scrawny. Usually

the beauty problem of the thin girl

coffee Under Your-Hat."

Some time ago, in large news
paper, there was headline to the
effect that certain leading real estate
operators were doing all In their
power to have enacted legislation
against "office- -under-your-hat deal
ers. Subsequently, the editor re-
eeived many inquiries as to the mean
ing and the origin of the phrase,
"office- -under-your-h hat"
This picturesque colloquialism is an
interesting illustration of the Amer
ican penchant for slang, which, like
our other idioms, is not to be taken
literally, but flguratively.
office under your-hat" business
men refers to that great mass of
gentlemen who rent desk room or
even drawer room in any office and
who carry with them a beautifully
printed and engraved card bearing
their address. without, however, any
intimation of how much, or, to be
more correct, how little of that par
ticular address is really theirs.
1t is the fact that so many of
these gentry used to carry their cards
around underneath the sweatbands of
their headgear that caused them to
be characterized as office under
your-hat' dealers,

CHAPTER LII.
Center Valley.

Tom had borrowed a friends car so
that he could load Sallys luggage into
1t. 1t was waiting outside.
NIyra insisted that they both come
over to the apartment first, but Tom
shook his head and Sally agreed.
'We mustn't keep Marjorie up"
they said almost in unison. IT'S long
past her bedtime now"
Inwardly Myra smiled. How soon
Sally had adjusted herself. Would
her own adjustment be as simple?
She was strangely excited. She didn't
know just how she felt about Bill yet.
On the way out to Center Valley
Sally said very little. OF course, it
was fairly difficult to talk. Tom was
in the front seat driving and she
in the back with Marjorie snuggled
against her. Her luggage was piled
all around her.
1t was different, however, as soon
as they arrived at the house. 1t
was all fresh and clean. Even her
curtains had been washed and put
up. The place looked adorable.
Funny, to be up in the bathroom
with Marjorie in the tub. Laving
water over the small pink and white
body, hearing Marjorie shrek with
glee, between baby endearments.
Did you miss mother, darling?"
ooh. yes. but played with Barbara
and Helen"
Sally's lips curIed into smile.
How much after all had Marjorie
missed her? Was a child worth a
sacrifice? Would she be glad in

Little Sally! Even now she could
hear his deep. quiet voice speak the
words. She thought of the rose COL
ored dance frock with it's pearl tassel
falling against her back. And the
swish swish of the sea! She missed
it now just as she had missed 1t in
Paris.
And then Marjorie's arms, wet and
fragrant, were reaching up. Sally
was lifting her out of the tub. She
knelt on the rug to dry her with a
big, soft towel. She patted talcum
powder over her and buttoned her
into her night things.
Tom appeared in the door.
almost ready, darling? ! have
something to tell you"
They stood for moment beside

how incomparably sweet! She held

and she smiled drowsily at her
mother. Then she sighed, a funny,
| baby sigh of blissful content.
I'm so glad you've come back to
u.s." she murmured. and almost i'm
mediately was asleep.
In the living room Sally and Tom
sat close together. He kept looking
at her in the strangest way, almost
as if he couldn't believe she was real.
His eyes were shining as he leaned
toward her and touched her hair
softly with his fingers.
"Oh, Sally"
"Yes, dear"
you've come back to mel"
Her heart contracted. Suppose he
knew how nearly she hadn't She
| hadn't realized how much it meant
| to him.
And then Tom was boyishly eager.
II have a new job, a chance to
make good at last, sweetheart. Next
year. I'll be able to give you things,
make you happier We can live in
town if you like"
Sally questioned him excitedly, they
talked almost at once-young, eager
alive.
How clear Toms eyes were, and
how candid. And he loved heri
Sally snuggled her face in his
shoulder.
But here have been talking and

me about your trip he said at last.

Her arm slipped up around his
neck.

Joan said, when do you suppose
you will get another raise?" and 1
said, The only time you get raise

She said Now that you're earning
commissions besides a salary, do you

She said. The university course I

when wilkins, few minutes later
made the holes to take sonic sound
ing. He found the ocean there about
three miles deep, which makes it
very unlikely that any land can exist
in this direction. for their flight, If
continued far enough in the same di
rection, would have taken them near
where Nansen years ago in the
Fran took similar soundings.
"While wilkins was doing this
sounding Eielson tinkered with the
engine. In two hours they were in
the air again. flying back towards
land. After about 10 minutes the
engine gave trouble once more. There
was second forced landing, and
again Eielson made IA perfect landing.
Land Improbable
"Wilkins' deep soundings having
made it improbable that there is
undiscovered land in the 100000
mile section to the northwest of
Barrow, wilkins now plans to cross
the 30O, C0O-mile section to the north

ing chance of land. He expects to

PROHIBITION
ENFORCEMENT
CALLED DU I Y
Strides Made in Administers
ton of Dry Law, Church
Body Says

San Francisco. May 3O.-tP)---
Prohibition enforcement as a duty
of all Christian Americans is en-
phasized in the annual report Of the
Presbyterian Board of Christian Edu-
cation to be presented to the Pres
byterian General Assembly here
today.
The board laments the death of
DR.. Charles Scanlon of Pittsburgh,
"for 25 years its temperance cru
sader," but declares that the church
at large must show its appreciation
Of his life work by continuing his
campaign and being faithful to his
ideals" DR.. j. w. Claudy of Pitts
burgh is announced as acting direc-
tor in DR.. Scanlon's place.
Improvement Noted
During the last year, says the
board in it's report, vast strides
have been made in the enforcement
of the Eighteenth Amendment. In
spite of renewed activities Of the
enemies of prohibition, it is more
firmly entrenched today than ever
before. There can be no doubt that
the economic, social, moral, and
religious benefits that have resulted
from prohibition are SO gigantic that
they will never be overcome by wet
propaganda.
IF prohibition has been charged
with failure it is due largely to the
fact that prohibition as written has
never been tried. The courts are
showing constantly a more vigorous
enforcement Of the law. District at
torneys are on every hand recognizing
their responsibility. The liquor traf-
fic has gone and as a commerrialized
vice has disappeared permanently.
If it exists here and there, it is due
to the laxity of those charged with
|. the responsibility of law enforce
ment. The liquor traffic is more
indefensible today than ever. It is
more hopelcssly outlawed. With the
rising tide Of intelligent youth there
is no doubt that the safety Of
prohibition is assured"
Recommendation
The board recommends:
Enforcing the Eighteenth Amend
ment through competent and trust
worthy servants of the law.
Supporting those intrusted with
the enforcement of the act by Chris
tian citizens.
Making punishment swift, sure,
and certain.
"Divorcing the enforcement Of the
Prohibition Act from politics.
"Unless these IDEALS" says the re-
port, fare supported by the Christian
citizens Of the community, the en-
forcement will always be lax. The
task Of tomorrow is to make law and
law enforcement In America : fact.

flying is distinctly feasible in the
most northerly possession of the
United States, setting ut rest "a con-
troversy Of Importance both in civil
and military aviation as to whether
Alaska can be used as flying base

Alaska could be flown across by
