Suggestions on Reducing.

Dear Miss Leeds-I am discouraged
about myself. I am 26 years old, feet
one-half inch tall and weigh 1876 pounds
My measurements are: Bust, 4112;
waist, 40; hips. Asa; thigh, q; calf,
Is; ankle, 912.- A. M. L.
Answer wonder If you have not
made mistake in giving your height.
If you are only feet tall you would
be considered dwarf; this condition
is caused by the faulty functioning of
one or more of the glands of internal
secretion and I do not know whether
it could be remedied at your age.
II you are feet one-half inch tall
s:se average weight for your age and
height is about 100 pounds. Your
measurements are, of course, very large
fo1 this height. Your wisest plan Is
to consult a doctor about your condi-
ton, which may be due to some in
ternal trouble that requires medical
whatever without doctors prescrip-
ton. Ask him to prescribe a diet for
you also. You probably need to take
more outdoor exercise. Do not try to
doctor yourself, but get scientific med
ical advice. LOIS LEEDS.
Ragged CuticIe.
Dear Miss. Leeds-The skin around
the sides of my finger nails gets ragged,
so that 1t is hard to keep my hands
looking nice. have three children and
do most of my housework, but like to
have nice hands because play cards
a great deal in the evenings.
MRS. H. H. s.
Answer-Having the hands in water
good deal makes the cuticle, or fold
of skin around the base of the nails,
soft so that it tears easily. Wear rub
Der gloves when you wash dishes. Wear
heavy cotton or leather gloves for the
rougher household tasks. Several times
a day massage your hands with hand
lotion. Use the lotion whenever your
hands have been in water.
At bedtime cleanse them by rubbing
them with cornmeal and warm water.
Rinse well, dry and rub in good tissue
cream; lanolin or cocoa butter will do
for this purpose. Draw on pair of
loose gloves to keep the cream on your
hands overnight. Have the palms and
balls of the fingers cut out of the gloves
to provide ventilation. LOIS LEEDS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-While
congress continued to grind out rush
order legislation, preparing for the
Christmas recess, the senate lobby
investigating committee tackled a
new problem today.
Julius H. Barnes, chairman of the
board Of the United States Chamber
Of Commerce was called upon to
testify what influence, if any, he has
exerted in the war of influences be-
tween the federal farm board and
the grain men Of the west over the
erection of public grain marketing
facilities. He has been aligned close
ly with President Hoover's confer
enceS.
Barnes was called when Chairman
Caraway of the lobby committee
heard he was trying to bring pres
sure against Alexander Legge, head
of the farm board. who is embarked
on a policy which the grain men
feel will drive them out of business.
The farm bloc generally has in
dorsed Legge's policy in public
statements from the floor of the
senate, and Barnes activities have
been deplored. Barnes friends have

Thomas Mooney, serving life SEN

the pardon board indicated it would
not act on his plea for clemency be-
fore next year.
Mooney. who was convicted with
Warren K. Billings for the explosion
which killed ten persons, has had
pardon plea on file for some
months and hoped for quick action
due to the holidays.
G. S. Webb, states attorney
general, has announced that
final action on the application would
have to be postponed.
"We may consider it during the
session, but no decision should be
expected" he said.
Coincidentally with preparations
for the pardon board meeting, Gov
ernor c. C. Young announced he
had asked the state supreme court
to expedite its consideration of
Billings appeal.

Mooney refused to become excited
over the prospect Of pardon. He

many disappointments to pin his
hope on any such action"
A mass of documents has been

The rental value of Type apartment

apartment in this development will show
a similar result.
The cooperative apartment owner en-
lows freedom from the responsibilities of
an individual house. He does not have to
bother with furnace, snow shoveling, grass
cutting, roof leaks, and other nightmares
of housekeeping. He no longer has to fear
moving troubles. He is free to go away
and return to find his apartment ready
for occupancy. He can decorate and
treat the interior as he wishes. He is sure
of desirable class of neighbors, because
he has a Uoice in the selection.
