THE SUBJECT OF WEIGHT

Weight was the chief topic of
conversation at club meeting this
afternoon" announced Mrs. Briggs
at the supper table. Mrs. Harris
and Mrs. Martin talked about their
reducing diets until every one at
the club was enthusiastic"
"Are they dieting under a doc
tors care? asked father Briggs.
Yes of course-thats really the
only correct way to reduce"
whats dieting anyway? inquir-
ed four year old Billie, anxious to
be a part of the "grown-ups con-
versation.
Since you are so saturated with
the subject" Mr.. Briggs said to his
wife perhaps you had better ex-
plain to Bill"
you needn't worry about diet
ing, Billie. You need plenty of food
to grow. When a person diets, he
eats less food than his body engine
requires, especially less of the
starchy and fattening foods, like
cakes and pie" explained his Moth
er.
Bill looked puzzled for moment.
docs that mean not drinking
milk or eating bread n butter and
jam.
mo" replied Mrs. Briggs, milk
and butter are foods which every
person needs. The doctor has pre-
scribed a glass of milk at each
meal for both Mrs. Harris and Mrs
Martin"
What else can they eat?" asked
Dot.
1T almost looks as tho the
Briggs family were getting enthus-
iastic about the subject of dieting"
laughed Grandmother Briggs.

Marguerite Agniel of New York came
to Washington today to see what could
be done about lifting dancing into the
realms of ideality and fantasy"
Miss Agniel is vice president and
chairman of the Dance Art League of
America, an organization formed by
Louis Chalif, who founded the Dance
Art League in New York She de-
scribes herself as a sort of advance
agent for the league, and says she
came here to survey the local field with
the idea Of establishing branch chap
ter in Washington.
The principal difficulty Miss Agniel
has encountered so far is of a financial
nature. 1t is hoped that somebody can
be found who will give $4,000 as a sub
sidy, but any one who wants to join the
league as a regular member may do so
by naying $40.
Dancers" she says, "are without
ways and means of augmenting the ex-
isting dance public. They are without
a playhouse devoted to their art. They
are without subsidy"

men believed today that Capt. Frank M
Hawks, who breakfasted yesterday ir
New York and dined last evening in
Havana, had set record for flight be-
tween the two cities which will be hard
to beat.
Setting out from Curtiss Field, Long
Island, at $50 am, Eastern standard
time, Capt. Hawks, who holds most OF
the major American long-distance speed
records, flew Southwark along the At
lantic seaboard. and, crossing to Cuba
from the Florida Peninsula, arrived here
at GIL pm, 9 hours and 81 minutes
after his departure.
He estimated that, allowing for a 25-
mile headwind, he averaged almost 1872
miles an hour for the trip, for which he
used small mystery monoplane bearing
the name "13." His actual flying time
was hours and 80 minutes. There were
two stops en- route, one of % minutes at
Jacksonville and one of 20 minutes at
Miami.
He beat by nearly hours the previous
record of ID hours, set March 5, 1928

CurtiSS Airport, or Gen. Machado Field
as 1t is also known, to witness Hawks
arrival. He was almost over them be-
fore his plane was sighted, travelling at
what seemed phenomenal speed. He
made quick circle of the field in the
light of its heacons and then landed
perfectly.
Hawks said he probably would return
to New York Saturday and might at
tempt to establish new time record on

Phone Calls to Each State
Expedite Exchange of Re-

nv che Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The long-distance telephone has been
pressed into service by Chairman Woods
of the Presidents Employment Commit
tee in an effort to tighten activities
everywhere.
He put in call to each State capt.
tai yesterday, talking to A Governors
and the representatives of four more,
to advance the use of his ONCE as a
clearing house for information on how
unemployment and suffering are being
fought in different localities and under
different conditions.
Obtains Cheering News.
Woods obtained the cheering news
that a great many States already had
exchanged this information and were
fully prepared to meet every angle OF
the eventualities which face them dur
ing the Winter. The Governors agreed,
he said, to turn in to him accounts OF
the measures they were taking and
results obtained, for use in guiding
States which are just now seeking to
establish relief measures.
The director appointed two more region
al heads of Federal employment Work,
placing William Phillips of Boston, for
mer Minister to Canada, in charge of
the New England work, and Capt. j. F.
Lucey of Dallas at the head of Govern
ment activities in the Southwest.
Lewis ii. Brown Chosen.
He also chose Lewis H. Brown, New
York, president of the Johns ansville
Co., as the head of the group correlat-
ing the employment work of the large
industries.
Woods said the information obtained
from the Governors checked his earlier
estimates that unemployment was pri-
marily a problem for the larger cities
and industrial centers. Except for
regions where the Summer drought
brought about serious conditions, agri-
cultural unemployment is not so severe.

If you are watching the sunrise

sometimes see a flash of blue or green
light. It has been noticed from the
top of Mont Blanc, just as the upper

THERE are three main things to remember if
you want to keep down the cost OF your home
First limit your requirements only to those things
which are actually necessary. Second, use sound
but inexpensive materials. Third, eliminate waste
in materials and labor
The house illustrated here, No. 3A3, deserves
careful study because It gives the home builder an
opportunity to put these three principles into prac

The fireplace of brick with wood trim. is located
opposite the triple windows. The side window gives

fireplace will provide all the heat the house re-

Economy Brings Beauty
There is built.n medicine cabinet in the bath

is in the living room close by the front door. The
well planned modern kitchen has been made large
that the family eat in one end. \ bult.n

The kitchen has bLiltn icebox with outside
