BORE IS INCREASED

Full S7 horsepower is developed in the new Greater Hudson Eight motor at $500 revolutions per min- ute. Retaining its fundamental features of inherent balance, certain refinements and engineering advan- ments have been incorporated that give an even smoother flow of power at all speeds.
 Bore has been increased to 2 7-8 tour of the combustion chamber re- duces the possibility of detonation and improves performance. Low speed performance = that IS acceleration = is greatly improved by the addition of a small bypass in the intake manifold, adjacent to the mixing chamber. which intro- duces a mixture of gas and air of high velocity at log motor speed. thus maintaining a homogeneous charge to the motor.

VeniSe Lace ON Velvet!
Of the various fabrics that
we'll see in afternoon gowns
this season, velvet promises to
be the favorite. And the first
dress that we've Sketched is
made of it. The bodice crosses
over in a gracefully draped line
and the narrow sash ties softly
at the side. Venise lace, the
last word in chic trimming on
velvet, is used for the. tiny
veStee, and adds further inter-
est to the neckline. This same
lace also takes a tight hold Of
the sleeves for several inches
at the wrists. Above, the
sleeves are softly gathered on
the lace, giving that Empire
effect that we just mentioned.

They talk about their children, and the

Once they said, and who hasn't-who
never had a child? They said, they would
never say their own child was beautiful
when it wasn't or that it was the cleverest,
mostly subtly intelligent infant that they
had seen. If it WAS or wasn't. And they
would know if it wasn't! And they shifted
a bit at the friends who did these things.
And who did not seem to know that their
children were just ordinary, wholesome,
bright (and sometimes not so much for
loOks) young ones with nothing to stop
the world going round for. But, ah well-a-

Your Health
and Diet
BY Logan Clendening, M. d.

By Logan Clendening, M. d.
Many weight reducers, weary
of we'll doing, tired of staying
hungry, give up the idea of
dieting and decide to lose
weight by the use of tablets.
Others, for slightly different
reasons, principally because
they want to reduce in a hurry,
do the same thing.
What about these weight re-
ducing tablets?
There is only one substance
which will reduce weight by
direct action when taken by
mouth and that is thyroid ex-
tract. Most of the prepara-
tions which are recommended
for their reducing powers "on-
tain thyroid. A few depend
for their supposed value on
the presence of drastic Ca
thartic, but these have little
effect in reducing the weight
of the whole body and are
very weakening.
Action Of Thyroid Extract
Thyroid extract will reduce
weight. There is no question
about that. It is made from the
dried thyroid glands of animals.
usually sheep. When taken by
mouth it has the same action
on the body as the normal secre-
ton of the thyroid gland, which
every normal person possesses.
It is the only one of the duct
less gland extracts which Is ef-
fective when taken by mouth.
The others have to be given hy-
podermically.
The action of thyroid is to
maintain the rate of nutrition at
a fixed level-the basal meta
bolism as it is called technically
by doctors. When the thyroid
secretion is reduced, the balance
is lost, all the food eaten is not
utilized and fat accumulates.
When the secretion is excessive,
as in some forms of goiter, the
rate of nutrition is carried on
so furiouSly that the body's own
substance is destroyed and the
weight rapidly goes down.
Breaks Down the Tissues
Thyroid extract introduced
into the body by mouth does
the same thing as the thyroid
extract secreted by the body's
own thyroid gland. 1t has q
direct action in breaking down
body tissues. When the body is
overweight from causes not con-
nected with disease Of the thy
roid gland-excessive eating
and too little exercise mostly

unquestionably redr ;e weight.
Thyroid extract has, however,
other actions. It is a power

pressure. It 9 a Stimulant to

Love and Marriage

He Agrees to Reform
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a daily reader Of your
column, and have found good
advice in your answers. Would
you please answer my problem?
I met a young man about a
month ago who has been taking
me out three nights a week.
He seems to- be very nice and
has always treated me well.
The other day he told me he
has not been an angel in the
past. He does not live with
his parents and has been a
bootlegger. He told me since
he met me he has reformed
and is trying to make good. He
said he would go back to his
parents as soon as he became
something they would be proud
of. I have learned to care for
him very much and know I
would hate to give him up. I
am encouraging him to make
good. I have always been a
good girl and would not like
to get into bad company.
