CHANGE IN MILK
PRICES O.K'D

Permission for Baltimore milk
distributors to reduce prices dur
ing the first 80 days of operation
of the dairy agreement may be
Forthcoming from the Department
of Agriculture If the distributors
so desire, it was announced today.
A suggestion that such scheme
could be adopted in the Maryland
metropolis came from officials Of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration after the idea had
originally been promulgated for
the Evansville, Ind, Los Angeles,
Cal, and Georgia markets.
It was explained that initiative
would have to come from the
distributors themselves. T e
plan, as suggested for Baltimore,
would state that at any time dur
ing the first 80 days of the agree
ment, distributors representing
collectively the greater part Of
fluid milk distributed could lower
prices if they so voted. Prices to
be paid to the producers, however,
could not be affected.

pupils formerly enrolled.

be realized. They further charge
that the educational program will,
suffer greatly because Of extremely
limited teaching facilities. Activi
ties abolished or curtailed include

 If you have thick ankles, don't give up the ship!
 Go to an art gallery and gaze at some of the ancient Greek beau~ ties-and take heart.
 If your ankles swell when you are tired, that's a different mat ter. It may be due to any number of different slight bodily ailments and only your physician can ana lyze just what is the matter.
 am speaking to the many wo- men and girls who spend their time pining because they haven't tapering ankles. Generally speak ing, no girl ever failed to get her man just because of ankles that weren't graceful. If she did. it was only because she let her aTl- kles get her spirits down. That IS what no girl should do! There are many things you can do to improve what you may con- sider a lack of beauty in your an- kles. First, don't wear too light stockings, they increase the size or your legs. Second, and more im- portant, learn to walk with such a graceful, enviable litheness and lit that everybody will envy you.
 Dancers often have large legs. Learn a lesson from their uncon- cern. They know that the size, shape and length of their legs IS never noticed. It is the whole pie ture they create that is beautiful, the way they move, the way they use their feet and legs. There's lesson in them for yous
