few housewives perform the task

Paris, broken by finely plated
sections, aim at a slight change
In the adopted silhouette. These
new models bearing a direct in

rigidly tailored type.
One Paris original Of sheer

ample of the feminine expression

Coats for the Spring accord
ing to Paris are comfortable al
though light as a feather in
weight. And this is true whether
you choose your coat Of the thin
nest of silk or of wool. The wool
fabrics are soft but not heavy
and some even give the impress

Suppose we take the following
as an example. When the med
icine prescribed by the doctor
fails to bring about the desired
results. he does not insist upon
your continuing to take it with
out calling you TO his office and
asking questions. He asks for an
exact accounting OF everything
you have eaten. what time you
20 to bed and what time you get
up and the amount Of exercise
and fresh air you get each day.
Ridiculous? Not at all; he
knows that the medicine which
is prescribed should have brought
about satisfactory results If the
patient had not been doing some
thing which was counteracting
the beneficial possibilities Of the
treatment.
So it is with beauty, for mas
sage, lotions. tonics, chin straps
and every other beauty aid win
fall short of performing their
full functions If you have an
unconscious habit which works
against the particular corrective
treatment.
In this article I'm going to take
the subject of double chins and
sagging underchin muscles. Hours
spent in massaging the chin with
the best preparations in the world
will not be effective unless the
position Of the head and shoulders
u carefully guarded. The same
i true OF exercising to correct
stopped o rounded shoulders.
Once the habit i acquired IL will
be found almost impossible to al
low the shoulders to slump for
ward and the underchin muscles
to relax.
In the illustrations above are
shown the position of the head
and shoulders while sleeping with
and without a pillow. You can
readily see why the 10 or 2O-min-
ute period devoted to correcting
a double or triple chin is lost
when one spends from seven to
nine hours in each % with the
head in a position which allows
the muscles to sag and relax.

Immediately became the center of bat
tie of cross-eXamination and technt-

Employed by Defense.
Dr. Wooten was employed by Mrs.
Rogers attorneys shortly after her ar
rest for the 81 900 robbery of the Farm
er's National Bank of Buda, Tex, in
December of 1926.
According to DR.. Wooten a series of
exhaustive examinations convinced him
that Mrs. Rogers was unusually intelli-
gent and sane. He informed her attor-
neys that his testimony would be worth
less to them.
Prosecutors learned Of the doctors
action during the first Of Mrs. Rogers
four trials and summoned him as a
State witness.
Autobiography Presented.
DR.. Wooten presented, among other
things, last night an autobiography
which Mrs Rogers had prepared for
him during the examinations. 1t had
scarcely been read into the record be-
fore the defense introduced an autobi-
ography written by man about whose
insanity there was no question. DR..
Wooten admitted that the diction,
grammar and punctuation were good
and that an insane person might write
well.
He gave it as his opinion, however,
that Mrs. Rogers actions in robbing the
bank as she did were actuated by her
need of money and that her subsequent
actions indicated that she knew what
she was doing The State has sought to
show that Mrs. Rogers had miSmanaged
the Texas Historical Society. when left
in charge the previous Summer, and
that she needed the money to repay the
society for unnecessary expenses she
had incurred.
