National Issues Linked
 With WOmen'S Affairs

Washington, April A tR - Tariff, trade conditions, questions of coop erative marketing and marketing fla cilities are all closely aligned with the everyday life of the average woman and should be thoroughly un- derstood by her. the National League of Women Voters believes.
 The leagues committee on living costs, under the direction of Mrs. Harris Baldwin. is seeking to edu- cate the women voters of the coun- try to the relation between the pub lie policies on which they vote and the dollars that they spend. Tariff is a problem that all think ing women should study" says Mrs. Baldwin, who was formerly a milk utilization expert in the department of agriculture.
 Tn terms of Paris gowns and ex- pensive perfumes, the tarin might seem vague and far away. but when viewed in terms of the necessities of life, sugar. salt, cotton thread, cutlery. it has . very different as- pect.
 The living costs committee stands for non-partisan tariff bas- cd on the report of a fact-findine commission rather than on partisan controversy

 Its rather q low-down trick 10 play on the Dicky- bird" Lillian said i, when We had returned to sober con- sideration of the problem before us, but I'd stake my life that one of these men in that shack is q devil.

But there's not hing more you can do, so if you feel inclined to play around with that code, go to it. I'll stay down here and let you know any developments in the direction of Jim.'

 On Leap Years

 Advises Fair Sex.

Boston. April et.-Quite apprqpri-
 ate with Leap Year proposals, is the advice given young ladies whs con
 template matrimony by Rev. John H. ouint D. D.. paAor of the First
 Congregational Church of Chelsea. The ReR. Quint thinks that com.
 panionate marriage is the most ri-
 diculous thing that has happened in years. In addition. he thinks tnat la
 dies should look before they leap
 and he has compiled q list of don't 'ts fosothem to think over before falling
 on tho neck of some tall, gpod-look- ing young man and asking his hand in marriage. to wit: Don't you marry a man unless you
 love him.
 Don't you marry a man to reform him. You may be able to make him
 reform before you marry him but if
 he won't reform then he won't re-
 form afterwards.
 1 Don't marry . man just because
 he has money.
 Don't refuse a man because he
 has no money.
 1 Don't take a man on an infatua-
 ton when you haven't anything in
 common. People who haven't ideas 1 in common had better not marry { each other because they arc liable
 to be unhappy.

IT affeta Leads | Evening Gowns
Fair Sex Lean to This
 Material for Socials.
By HAZEL REAVIs

Associated Press Fashion Editor)
 Paris, April c4. R-Taffeta for evening is no longer the exclusive privilege of debutantes and the very young.
 Paris dressmakers are showing draped. puffed and trained evening dressea of taffeta for all ages Of women. Mnle. Jeane Lanvin even designs a dress of taffeta for a two year old baby.
 Hardly a. house of creative dress making fails to show d wide selec. ton of taffeta evening dresses fo, mid d-summer. The former robe dc style, characterized by long. full skirt and tight bodice. is generally replaced by drapei skirts which lift to disclose elaborate petticoats of lace or pleating. in Vatican style.
 If the skirt is straight and tight. meant to conserve the silhouette, there is always a big pouf and hanging ends of silk at tho side. or . large sbustle in back. often with ends falling into q train.
 Another favorite form of break ing the too rigid line of 8 straight taffeta ekift is a circular flounce added at the bottom. perhaps rounded and lifted at one side to give an irregular hemlino. Occa- sioually the flounce is continued up tho center-front, or side front of tho skirt to tho waistline. The peAicoat of contrasting color is an important point in these dresses.

BY DIR. NORRIS FISHREIN Editor Journal Of the Anerica an Medical Association and Of lily
 geia, the Health Magazine

In recent address Prof. A. J. Carlson of the University of Chicago
 has outlined the various aspects of modern life from the point of view of physiology and therefore of healthful living.
 He called attention first to the
 fact that modern man cooks. pre- serves. sterilizes. and denatures his food to a greater extent than did
 his ancestors.
 Prof. Carlson feels that the hu-
 man body of today is the result of centuries of undernutrition because of the type of life primitive man
 was compelled to lead. These pe- riods of undernutrition were modi- fled by short periods of gorging of food in the presence of plenty. Primitime man knew nothing whatever of essential salts, essen- tial vitamins, proteins and rough age. He ate tho food that he could get when he could get 1t. As q re- suit his growth varied and he was SupJECs lt uAStoS-c' With the development of modern machinery. transportation and sys-
 tems of preserving and packing
 food became sophisti eated and taste for food perverted. It is now
 generally recognized that food may be preserved from season to sea son, that it can be shipped long distances and that the sensible hu- man being will take advantage ol
 scientific knowledge in providing for his needs.
 In his address. Prof. Carlson sue. I ceeded in debunking some of tho
 strange notions regarding diet helG by people with one-track ideas re. | garding nutrition. Prof. Garrison

 Peter Rabbit knows that this is true. You know how he is forever poking his wohbly little nose into other peoples business. He isn't the least bit bashful when he is curious. He knows that the only way to learn things is to ask about them. So Peter is not at all bash full when il comes to asking aues- Mons. He was full Of questions now. They fairly ripped over each other.
 Tell me more about Piggy the Peccary." he begged of Scrapper the kingbird. "Is he handsome? Has he a nice fur coat? Can he fight :" Can he climb:'
 Wait minute. wait q minute. Peter: One thing d a time, please. No. Piggy the Pecarry isn't hand some. He is anything but hand some. But. then. did you ever See pig that was handsome" As for his coat. it isn't fur at all.'
 DO you mean 10 say" exclaimed Peter. that he doesn't wear hair 2" y didn't say that" declared Scrapper. T said he doesn't wear fur. Fur Is soft hair. Thrr. is nothing soft about the hair on Piggy the Peccary. r is coarse and stiff. As for lighting. I certainly would n't want Piggy 10 take a snap at me rlth those iaws of his. He has the wckedest looking teeth, called tusks, that I ever did sec. T. gives me tn" cold shivcrs just 10 look at them. Usually, Piggy has lot Of his fam fly and friends with him. Then no one wants 10 have anything to do with him. Even King Jaguar is re- spectful and keeps his distance. and i' takes q good deal to make King Jaguar respectful. As for climbing Piggy can't climb any more than Farmer Browns pig can climb. You know well enough. Peter Rabbit. that one must have fingers or claws Tn order 10 climb. Piggy has hard little hoofs. There is no climbing with feet like that"
