The hem line that reaches onlJ to the knees is
indeed an awkward length, unless the wearer Of such
a frock possesses unusually lovely and shapely
knees. Therefore, the skirt that reaches just a trifle
below the knees is far more attractive for the girl
whose knees are only average. If the knees appear
too fat or too thin, moderately long skirts should
be worn until such time as the corrective treat
ments given below have perhaps changed these
members into shapely and more youthful contour.
Exercise, followed by the use of an oil mas
sage, is by far the best treatment for all types of
knees. For over-developed and bulgy knees, high
kicking proves extremely beneficial. Because Of the
bending of the knees and the action of the upper
thigh muscles, this type of kicking works on all the

VOTERS Of SIXTH
 GRADE MENTALITY
hu AI1l& Of Electorate lfatts Prospsrity, Is Claim

Chapel Hill. North Carolina. May 2. N-Picturinx the United States electorate as having an average edu- cation of ''sixth to seventh grade level." pr. John William Cooper, federal commissioner of education, told the American Association for Adult Education that this low edu- cation level threatened the country's { social and economic prosperity.
 Such an electorate" he asserted ''can hardly be expected to solve in- teliSently such problems as are pre- ssnted by our increasingly compli- cated social and economic life"
 As one solution for the problem, he recommended further expansion of the adult education movement, which provides post school study for adults.
 Criticism of professional educators for failure to make more use of radio was voiced by James G. Me Donald. chairman of the Foreign Policy Association of New York.
 "A generation ago." he said. "the educationalists missed their oppor- tunity to help save the movies from cheap sensationalism. They as a group seem unconcerned with the probability of missing a similar op- portunity which may never recur to help make the radio what the mo- vies might have been."
 Milton Barre. secretary of the Ma tional Board of Review of motion pictures suggested the possibility of extension course on the talkies with educational subjects for community clubs.
