The Cmu-BeH CoIuuid Sends UleSuge From Derb Darkness

Of agriculture have been going in for soy
beans. a strange crop imported from China
and Japan, rich in food values as an animal
ration. By the way, how many of you wise
strap hangers know that the tart, puckery
Chinese sauce which you put on your chop
suey is made from this very soy bean? We
have enough soy beans out here to supply
sauce for all the chow mein joints for hum
dred years to come. Tell your Chinese friends
about it. No reasonable offer will be refused.
Abner Bigley has been here on a visit from
Chicago but his wife didn't come with him.
He said he was on vacation. He said that
all the time he was here no one asked him to
daily with contract bridge. His relatives in
these parts think it is an agreement to throw
some kind OF a span over waterway, but he
told them it was something that breaks up
homes and undermines the reason. He lives
in an uppity suburb. His wife never saw a
fork until she was years old, but she
understands grand opera
Abner went visiting around while he was here,
keeping soul and body together by leaning
against fried springers stewed hen and noodles,
spare ribs and sauerkraut hickory cured ham,
sausage, candied sweet potatoes hot rolls, thick
gravy buckWheat cakes, pumpkin pie slapped
in the face with whipped cream, apple butter

idea was to help overcome the overproduction.
Before he took the bus for home he said that
his idea of heaven was place where lot of
v1ctualS would be set out on the table and all
rules suspended, instead of having them passed
around on platter and being compelled to
sneak drib at time, with every one looking
at you.
OTIS GRIGGS thinks that radio broadcast

Busy Mothers Problems.

Dear Miss Leeds: % am a constant
reader CT your beauty column and have
profited by the advice ON several occa-

advice on how to gain weight in gen.
am feet inches tall and weigh only
1919 pounds.
1t is impossible for me to take daily
walks and outdoor exercise. as I have
three small children Of my own md
have the constant care OF one other
small child. So you can see that have
very little time for myself.

my legs, which seem q great deal
smaller In proportion than the rest Of

from the legs permanently.
I will appreciate any help YOU can
give me. BOOTS.
Answer.-n Yes, my dear, you are
decidedly underweight. You did not
state your age. but II you are about 30
years Of age your weight should be close
to 40 pounds.
What you need Is rest and lots of it.
know that is perhaps easier said than
done, but In your present condition
your health IS at stake. Isn't 1t pos
sible to find some young girl who may
relieve you OF the care OF the children
for two or three hours day so that
you may get some rest and relaxation?
Another thing, do you always eat
meals at regular times dur
ing the day? Sometimes busy mothers
forget about themselves. You should
sit down for a good lunch ct noon, as
we'll as fairly hearty breakfast and
dinner During the middle Of the
morning and afternoon take light
lunch of a glassful of milk or cocoa
with whole-wneat waters or crackers.
~ feel sure that calves will round
out naturally when you have managed
to gain some weight.
CD The only way to remove hairs
from the legs permanently Is to have
them removed with the electric needle,
and this would be very expensive for
such a large surface. There are many
temporary methods which are quite

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. spRowLs.
Blends and Brunettes.

Popular notions have it that blends
are positive" dynamic" driving, :"
aggressive" "domineering," 'impa-
tient." active quick" hopeful"
,'speculetive," 'changesble,' variety
loving" At least more likely to be so
than brunette5 Brunettes are said to
be conservative" Initiative" sub
missive," cautious, "psinstaking. 4"
patient" "plodding," SLOW" "deliber-
ate serious" thoughtful" At least
more so than blends. These popular
notions have recently been put to the
test scientifically.
While the investigators are not pre-
pared to give complete answers to all
blond-bTunette problems, their findings
are to say the least, interesting
These students found that there Is
nothing in the old theory that there
are definite blond traits and definite
brunette traits. Their general conclu-
son is stated as follows The per-
oentage of bTunettes possessing blond
traits Is approximately as high as the
percentage Of blends possessing blond
trait. Likewise, the percentage Of
blends po7se-S ng brunette traits is also
very similar to tn" percentage Of bru
ncttes possessing brunette traits"
