very broad. Will you please tell me
what neck lines would be becoming?
am IA years old. feet gig inches
tall and weigh 109 pounds. Am too
fat? Does horseback riding reduce the
hips? CHICK.
Answer-vest effects with V-shaped
collars are becoming. A good style that
is popular this season is rather deep
V-shaped neck line with a draped scarf
collar that hangs in streaTner behind.
The deep oval and surplice effects are
suitable also. Raglan sleeves will make
the shoulders seem less broad. You
should weigh between 100 and 113
pounds. You are not bit too heavy.
I do not consider horseback riding pri-
n.arily as hip-reducing exercise, but
it is a good all-round exercise. Exer-
cises like walking, running. climbing
and high Kicking are good for keeping
the kips from getting fat.

has decreed figures with feminine
curves in place of the once nlodish
"boyish" figure. Your bust Is entirely
too small for your age and height. 1t

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Why So Sad Today2

Text: Wherefore look We SO sadly
today" Gen. XII.
What question to ask of men In
prison. Yet they were prisoners, these
men OF whom this question was asked
But what about your case? You are
not prisoner In the literal sense. But
perhaps you feel that you are a prisoner
TO circumstances. Things have gone
badly with YOU You are surrounded
by trouble and hard conditions. Some
affliction has befallen you. Your affairs
are in a tangle. Debt stares you in. the
face. Everything seems against you.
You can see no ray of hope anywhere.
There does not seem to be any way out.
You feel as one shut up in a barred
prison.
But in the face of your imprisoning
circumstances I repeat to you the ques-
ton asked Of those Egyptian prisoners,
Wherefore look We so sadly today?"
A foolish question? Wait moment.
Listen
Needn't fool yourself at all,
For there's no denying
Fen above prison wall
Songbirds are flying.
Wherefore hearken to the song, -
Never mind the prison,
And you'll find your soul ere long
Unto freedom risen.'
No, do not belittle your troubles.
/ do not say they amount to nothing.
There are some who vex themselves
with imaginary ills. but yours may be
very real Yet it does no good to give
way to the blues. Melancholy never
helped one to master bad situation.
Gloominess cures no griefs. Despond-
ency only makes one the weaker. The
more respondent you become, the more
hopeless and helpless you will feel But
cheerfulness renews hope, strength and
courage. So cheer up. Put your trust
in God, do the best you can and cease
from your sadness.

Teller SAYS i. S.
WILL SUPPLY ARMS.
No Announcement Made in
Washington Government
Will Send Munitions.
BY the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, March 6.--The gov
eminent today published this telegram
from Ambassador Teller at Washington
las result Of a conference between
President Hoover and Secretary Kellogg,
the State Department is delivering to
the press an announcement that the
American Government will furnish to
the Mevican government, upon solicita-
ton, arms and facilities for their ex-
portation according to the needs OF the
Mexican government.
Continuation of the policy estab-
lished when an embargo was decreed on
expectation of arms to Mexico was
promised, too. This will impede Illicit
expectation of arms to the rebels"
No announcement has been made in
Washington about the American Gov
eminent furnishing the Mexican gov
eminent arms.
President Hoover, it has been an
nounced, sees nothing In present cir
cumstances to warrant change in the
Mexican arms embargo policy estab-
lished in 1923, which prohibited exporta-
ton of arms except upon license of the
State Department.
At that time the Obregon government
in Mexico obtained arms from private
munitions supply companies in the
United States to enable 1t to combat
the rebellion of Adolfo de la Huerta.
These expectations were upon license
similar to the license necessary for an
American mining company or the like
to obtain explosives for industrial use
in Mexico Such license would be
granted only to the recognized govern
ment.
