In discussing the whole question he said that insurance companies had proved it was wisest for a person under thirty to keep a little over weight. and that a woman over thirty, who has a natural tendency to gain should try to keep her weight close to the thirty-year- old figure.
 In dieting he stressed the need for getting protein, vitamins, and mineral salts. Calcium, phospho- rus, iron and iodine are necessary in every persons diet. Iodine is found in seafoods, either fresh, canned or frozen. People who live in the so-called "goiter belt" where sources of iodine are almost absent should eat plenty of sea foods to get the necessary amount of this mineral which has such an inti- mate relation to goiter.
 For the thin girl lunch before going to sleep is a help. It need be nothing more than a glass oi milk and a few crackers.
 The girls were so enthused with his talk that he promised to come back to give them a whole lecture on diets for the girl who wants to reduce and for the girl who wants to gain.

Before she returned Norma had time to glance curiously about the room. It was obviously the parlor. There were the plush up- holstered sofa and arm chair that every self-respecting parlor 20 years ago must boast. There were the crocheted lace ''tidies" pinned over the backs and arms of chairs. Half the room was in shadow and on the lowered carpet there was clearly defined the base of cone of light radiating from the table lamp. Beyond this arc the room was darker. Norma noticed the old-fashioned secretary backed against one wall. On low stand before the window facing the street stood a spreading fern.
 The girl caught Chris Saunders watching her. She moved nearer and clasped Chris hand. Norma discovered her fingers were trv.

HAT TRIMMINGS COME IN

Spring hats are to have their brims
wired and pointed over one eye, or
arranged high in a peaked effect.
Paris milliners are set upon teach
ing women to wear hat trimmings now
that they have at last gotten them
to show their hair. Little hats, de-
signed frankly on sketches taken from
Vatican paintings, are to be poised
on the head to show the hair and
massed with flowers or ribbons at one
side; some of them will even be nod
ding with fluffy feathers and plumes
A new note in ornaments is the small
plain silver ball that hangs from a
short silver chain and can be pinned
anywhere on the hat, and Nine. De
Montbrison has started a vogue for
adjustable hatbandS. You can have a
whole series of these in various colors
and the idea is to take them out and
rearrange them in different order to
produce new effect.

ent phase Of the depression. They are
reluctant to say or do anything that
might have the nature Of a mere ad-
ministration of tonic. They have, how
ever, complete grasp Of every element
OF the situation that is within tneir

They are aware that some elements

much of the recent liquidation ,ol

BOMB EXPLOSIONS POPE'S BIRTHDAY:
 BR|CAD|ER KILLED

ROME, June 2. (R-While Pope Plus XI quietly observed his 74th birthday a crisis was being rapidly approached in breach between the church and the state. Three
 bombs were exploded near Cath olic institutions in Bolgna.
 A brigadier general of the Cara Diners patrol was killed when he picked up one of the bombs and it burst. Civilians and militiamen
 were injured Thirty persons, be- lieved to be Fascist enthusiasts, were arrested by Fascist police who denied to give out further information.
 Following the action Saturday of the government in closing down
 10000 clubs of the Catholic Ac- tion Society, Pontiff made a speech at a Identification gathering in which he said: Tn these very sad days our sorrow is deepest because
 they are hitting what is dearest
 to us, the Azione Catolca, and
 most precious of all the federation of young people. We appeal to Catholic all over the world to pray for the pardon of our prosecutors and that the time may come when they will see the light of peace"
 Fear of a definite break in Fascist and Vatican relations was prevalent as the result of the Popes answer to the clubs closing edict Pontiff, according to relia- ble reports, has placed bishops and archbishops in charge of clubs, thereby making any future steps by the government against these organizations direct attacks upon the Vatican.
