 Although the snow had fallen continuously since before midnight it ceased by dusk yesterday and the let-up was welcomed by the hun drcds of mon working with blows. scrapcrs and shovcls to clear the streets. The mercury. however, started on downward course and ran well below the freezing mark.
 Aside from the cost Of clcarin.r the streets, inconvenience to the thousands of government workers.

New York, Jan. $l u.p>-Gc~a Howe. the Texas editor who WIS courageous enough to criticize Mar, Earden's vocal talents. stood in ,hn center Of the city today and brave!y announced that New York was th., th'rd best town in the United States"

 Howe was reluctant to discuss 1js 1ousts with Mary Garden and Col Charles A. Lindbergh. for he e. Gards those encounters as battles that have been fought and won.

As maintaining correct weight is one
of the sureSt ways of retaining youth,
health and beauty, it might be a good
idea to consult the above chart fairly
often. Perhaps 1t could be hung in
the bath room above the scales kept
there, so that members of the family
can watch their weight.
1t is impossible to lay down hard and
fast rules regarding weight and meas
urements for the various ages, because
persons Of the same age and height
may vary 20 pounds in weight and both
types be normal for their particular
build. A large-boned woman with
heavy muscles weighs more than q
woman of the same age and height
of lighter build. The same rule ap-
plies to growing girls. A woman or
girl who is long-watSted has generally a
body that is long in proportion to her
legs, and is heavy for her height.
Whereas a Short-waiSted woman may
have long legs, and has tendency to
be light in weight for her height.
Seek your ideal weight-a few pounds
either way from the figures given in
the table of weights may be expected
and a few pounds below or above the
average is permissible, but any devia-
ton greater than 10 to is pounds
should make you question whether you
are losing your health and youthful
lines. If you want to keep healthy,
young and attractive, watch your
weight. Remember that both under
weight and excessive overweight are
detrimental to health and beauty.
