BIDS THE
 B9Y|sH FIGURE FOND
 AND GLAD FAREWELL

ROCHESTER, Minn., June 4, (H) The physician is as happy as the woman who pines for more food to hear that fashion is dictating the return of fashioned curves, believes Dr. E. s. Judd, president elect of the American Medical as SOciation.
 Word from Paris and New York that the boyish figure will be a thing of the style past is the most heartening news of women's fash ions received for years, in his opinion.
 "The end of starvation diets which have helped increase tuber- culosis, low blood pressure and anemia among the women of the United States has come with this news, believe" Dr. Judd said.
 we now will enter an era in which girl may hope to eat a square meal without a twinge of conscience"

 The hole takes a zig-zag course through the crust and from there on continues in a straight line to the center of the earth, he holds, bringing upwelling water which is fe dto it from huge Assures To- cated at the bottoms of the great ocean "deeps" north and south of the equator. These Assures con- verge at the earth'S center.
 Similar at South Pole Water rises similarly in con- duits under the south pole, proba- bly, emptying into the bottom of Weddell and Ross seas, Dr. Meents says. He accounts for the polar upwelling and the equatorial sink ing by the 26-mile flattening of the earth at the poles, which causes difference in hydrostatic pressure.
 Dr. Meents bases his belief upon study of ocean currents. He has written a paper to show why nei- ther temperature differences, sal inity differences, winds nor earth's rotation account satisfactorily for the great ocean currents
 Asked what verification the Will kins expedition may find, he says:
 Judging from the oceanic phe- nomena, I would say that the con- duits are nearly one mile in diam eter. They enlarge in a funnel shape before they intersect the sea floor.
 Jumping Off Place"
 Consequently, when the Wilkins expedition takes soundings in the Arctic ocean, a sudden increase in depth will be noted as the con- duit is approached, there being a sort of jumping off place at the beginning of the funnel.
 "The vertical drop in the con- duit below the Arctic ocean basis floor may be about five miles. AS the average maximum depth of the Arctic thus far reported is be- tween two and three miles, I would say that Soundings which indicate sudden increase in depth of about two and one half miles to anywhere above that figure may be accepted as those taken within the throat of the conduit"
 There may be more than one Arctic conduit, Dr. Meents says, but due to the basin-like nature of the Artic he favors "One gi- gantic somewhat circular open ing approximately directly under the geographical pole

 Committee heads made their re- ports, which showed activities to have been going along splendidly, and this IS best reflected in the re- port of the pastor, the Rev MT Todd, who said:
 "This is my fifth annual report during which. time the church has been completed and dedicated.

 "The church attendance during the past year has been the largest by far of any year in the history of the church.

A fve-gallon still used for social purposes only was the alleged cause pf a. rift between "in-laws" and in the arrest of John Miller of B Hick- ory street on the charge of breach of the peace. His case was continued for thirty days with the understand ing that he would dispose of the still at once. As matter of official rec ord Judge John F. McGrath instruct ed Patrolman Fred Hickey of the emergency squad to see to it that the home "distillery" is dismantled at once.
 The chief witness against the ac- cused was his daughter-in-law, Mrs Edward Miller of the same address. Her husband, Edward, had the mis- fortune to meet with the police sometime yesterday and was locked up. Mrs Miller went to her father in-law and insisted that he bail her husband out. MT Miller, ST, declined to become interested and went to sleep. He was rather roughly awak- ened sometime later to be con- fronted by three "in-Iaws," his sons wife, her father and her brother, the latter a tall, rangy sailor, who ap- peared in court this morning. MT Miller was the only one arrested In the argument that followed. The son failed to appear in court to-day and his bond was called.
 Mrs Miller testified that her father-in-law makes his own hooch and has, been feeding 1t to his son. This has been the cause of all the trouble, she alleged. When her brother, the sai.vr, testified he in- formed Judge McGrath that Miller had struck him in the face. Feel ing that an explanation was neces- sary for an attack on a representa- tive of the navy the witness hastened to add, "Only for my father and my sister. 1t would have been just one bad day for him." indicating MT Miller.
 James Whitney, g, was fined $5 and costs on the charge of breach of the peace. He Is alleged to have attacked and struck William Weeks of 112 Abbott avenue. The latter informed the court that various taxi cab drivers have been annoying him and embarrassing him by shouting something which sounded like the word "key" at him. The court was unable to learn the mean ing of the word, which Weeks re- serts.

 Edgar s. Furniss. These studies are
 based on anthropology, economies. sociology, transportation, govern ment and human geography.
 In the field of anthropology not only are there courses dealing with the social institutions of primitive man, but also courses dealing with the modern man of advanced culture from the same objective viewpoint.
 Examples of these latter studies are "The Impact of Culture on Person. |ality," which considers the meaning of culture mad the problem of recon |ciling personality and cultural varia- |tions; and ""The Psychology of Lam |guages," which deals with languages las related to the behavior of the in-
 dividual and society. An advanced course in Climatology will deal with the principles of climate and their to problems in economics land sociology. Courses dealing with
 the adjustment of man to the land include the basic studies of soils, distribution of animals and the re- lation of plant life to various types |of soil and climate. A study of the Geographical factors in the civiliza- ton of the United States is also off, fered.
 A study of the forces which have |controlled the development of the |constitution of the United States is
 pursued in the field of government. A comprehensive course dealing with the history of political theory covers
 the leading political ideas from the
 time of the ancient Greeks to the
 beginning of the nineteenth century. The course following this is study
 of recent political ideas including

Ito the family, housing, health, edu- cation and recreation. Poveryt and dependency, the physically and mem tally handicapped, crime and the treatment of criminals are also con sidered. A comparative study of the races and cultures of mankind in- cludes studies of the influence of heredity and environment and the evolution and diffusion of culture. American society is studied in a course dealing with the social, eco- homie and political aspects of racial problems in this country and meth ods of race adjustment.
 "Yale's program of graduate stud- ies in the Social Sciences" Dean Furniss said. "is designed to give each student. whatever his field of special interest, broad understand ing of social institutions. their origin and development. and their modes of functioning in the world of today. With this foundation the student is encouraged to acquire expert knowl- edge of some important phases of the modern social structure. In this selected field his training includes original research work designed to bring him into contact with the sources of information in his field and to equip him to master it's problems"
