This new set of transfer pat terms in the butterfly design will make dish-drying pleasure. With these gay colorful fellows to help you, you'll seem to be through in half the time it formerly took. Why the dish towel simply fits from dish to dish, all you need to do is guide it.
 You will notice that there are seven different butterflies for the tea towels, and 8 larger transfer pattern is supplied for 8 butterfly pan holder. These designs are most effective when stamped on plain colored and print materials, and appliqued to dish towel ma terial. The shape of the butterfly is done in plain color, with the pattern on the wings in a print of corresponding colors. Almost any color may be used, but orange, green or blue are particularly suit- able. In the print it is wise to choose a harmonizing tone and a small figure is more desirable than a large one.

 Dr. Lampson found that so-called denicotinized cigarettes produced less effect than ordinary cigarettes. Cigar and pipe smoking has the same effect as cigarette smoking.
 The studies are significant. espe- cially for persons subject or how training for angina pectoris or thrombo -angiitis oblietrans, and they may be of interest to many smokers who wonder why they have cold hands and feet.
 Some chemists and physicians be- lieve the effects of tobacco smok- ing are largely due to the carbon monoxide inhaled.
 Drs. H. w. Haggard and L. A. Greenberg found that smoking pro- duces definite but temporary in- crease in blood sugar and corre- spending increase in the rate of sugar combustion. This is probably due to the excitation of the adrenal secretion, which Drs. Cannon, Aub and Binger demonstrated as an ef- feet of tobacco smoking years ago. The blood sugar mobilization may account for the qualification of a smoke.

The many peculiar. ideas about diet do not stop with these mo- tions alone. They go on, in many cases, to what are termed ''courses" on dieting, actual training regimens that are being advertised widely and sold t peo- pie who are still unaware of what diet can actually do in the body.
 Most of these courses consist of anywhere from F to 24 lessons which are mailed to the purchaser with the understanding that he is getting some real secrets about what diet can do for him.
 The courses contain great deal of material about autointoxi- cation. This is misnomer, if eyer there was one, because scien- tific doctors no longer even use ehe word.
 They also say great deal about the fact that the body becomes congested with a great deal of undigested and decaying food material and that this is ex- eeedingly poisonous. This state anent also is untrue.
 
 One of these writers goes so far As to say that grapefruit and tomatoes will dissolve tumors gallstoneS and blood clots when of course, everybody who gives the matter a moments thought knows that neither grapefruits nor tomatoes, singly or together will do any such thing.
 There is 8 health school out

west, which promotes the idea that there is no such thing as in- -fectiouS disease and that all dis ease comes from wrong eating.
 The promoters of this school say that toxemia is the most dan gerous disease, that it is establish ed by wrong life, impairs digestion and results in all of the infectious diseases.
 People who believe these mo- tions will believe anything that is told to them.
 It is significant that all of the promoters of health schools re- lated to the diet have something to sell in the way of special foods, special apparatuc, special syringes or other materials which are guaranteed to wash out the intestines, stop the autotoYemia and in that way prevent disease.
 If people only had little bet ter knowledge of the way ir which foods are digested and ab- sorbed by the body, they would not so readily fall victim to the claims of these dietary system promoters.

 Bending and stretching exercises that cause a direct pull on muscles and tendons in the back of the legs burn of fatty tissue, thereby rerucing weight on the thighs" says Donald LoomiS, trainer of Holly wood stars. That's a good thing to remember during coming weeks when you're sure to eat pound- adding sweets and holiday feaSts that threaten your figure.
 "You can't reduce the hip bones, of course, so don't wear yourself out trying to obtain 8 V-shaped figure. Women aren't supposed to have broad shoulders and narrow hips. However, the perfect figure does have symmetrical thighs that are firm and round.
 Deep knee bending is useful both for developing muscle and for burning of fat. To reduce excess weight, the movements should be hapid. To develop muscle, they must be done slowly and deliberate ly. The old hiding-the-bicycle rou- tine will slenderize legs and thighs if you do 1t quickly. It will develop them if you do it slowly, making the muscles stretch and pull with each motion. Rolling back and forth on the floor will help to re- duce the thighs, too.
 Another good exercise to Slen- derize the thighs is done flat on your stomach on the floor. Clasp ing your hands behind your back, raise your chest upward. Then keeping knees straight and stom- ach fiat, raise the legs slowly up- ward in the direction of the small of the back. Hold the position a few seconds, then lower feet to the floor again. When you have master ed the technique, repeat rapidly ten ] times night and morning"

Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRESS

United Press Staff Correspondent Paris-Since French women have become interested in sports, they are more and more adopting sports clothes for town wear in place of the conventional Parisian black and white. TweedS have become almost as popular in France as in England and since tweeds are practically a uniform for British women, that is saying a lot.
 Henry Creed, the house of Eng fish tailors who have the specially woven tweeds and woolenS, has not shown a mid-season collection this year as Charles Creed is showing their creations in New York at this time. Past masters at the art of designing tailored tweeds, the house of Henry Creed is showing smart suit in navy blue entitled Dash ing"
 The skirt is straight and slim and the finger tip pocket is made loosly like box coat. The coat, lined with yellow and blue plaid wool, is reversible, and the plaid fabric shows at the up-turned cuffs and at the top of the squared plaid blouse ends in a stock scarf. With this costume is worn a hat from Rose Vallois in yellow felt trimmed with a simple navy ribbon about the crown.

DEEP FAT FRYING PRODUCES. VARIETY OF POTATO DISHES. Swets Good Prepared By French
 Mefh0d

NEA Service staff Writer
 An industrious StatiStician has figured out that men generally order French fried potatoes when they eat in hotels and resealrants. I am no statistician but I think the reason men eat French fried pota- toes in hotels is that they never get them at home. ext they are not hard to do. The preparation, how ever, should ze careful.
 Chips or Saratoga potatoes must be cut in thin, transparent slices. French fried potatoes must be cut uniform in thickness. Shoestring potatoes or potatoes Julienne must be cut in tiny strips, literally shoe- strings. Souffled potatoes must be cut lengthwiSe in slices of absolutely even thickness with a perfect clean cut-no jagged edges.
 Cutting Devices Are Handy.
 There are clever devices on the market for cutting potatoes that in sure perfection. and since this type of potato cookery mayes such at- tractive serving for various occasions set of potato cutters is a worth while investment.
 A fat that can be heated to a high temperature without smoking or burning should ze used for frying. A high grade vegetable oil or a firm vegetable fat give satisfactory re- suits because either can be made very hot before the fat coleculeS break down.
 To make French fried potatoes, pare potatoes and cut 1engthwise into strips about 3-4 inch thick. Let stand in ice water for an hour. Drain and dry beaween towels. Fry in deep fat heated to 359 degrees F. Cook hot more than twelve pieces at a time. Cook until brown and crisp on all sides. Drain on heavy brown paper and sprinkle with salt. Serve as son as possible after frying.
 Select Potatoes Carefully.
 The composition of the potatoes is important in making potato Souf- lie because some kinds will not puff Awaxy potato gives the best results. Two kettles of fat are best. If one is used the process takes longer. In this case, let cooked slices drain on crumpled paper while coking the enetire batch at low temperature. Then raise temperature of fat and finish cooking.
 Select large potatoes and rub clean. Do not wash. Pare evenly, slicing out eyes or imperfeceions in- Stead of cutting around these places as one usually does. Cut in length wise slices not more than l-8 inch thick. A vegetable Slicer will make

HOW TOBACCO GETS YOU
 DOWN


 By accurate scientific measure ments Drs. Irving s. Wright and Dean Moffat, New York, found that when a person accustomed to smok- ing smokes one ordinary cigarette there is an average drop of 5.3 de- grees E. in the surface temperature of the smokers fingers and toes; in many instances it is greater than that, in one instance they observed drop of 15.5 degrees F. They also observed slowing and stoppage of the blood flow in the capillaries in the nail folds. The length of time the person had been in the habit of smoking, and the number of cigar cites smoked daily, had no apparent influence on these effects. Practi- cally no difference was noted be- tween the effect of ordinary cigar cites, denicotinized cigarettes and mentholated cigarettes. Inhaling in- creased the effect on the surface temperature.
 That rate of blood flow in the capillaries of the nail folds is an interesting test to make on yourself if you are a smoker. Under good light draw the sole of the thumb over the skin on the back of the middle or ring finger just below the edge of nail. Note how quickly the blanching disappears, or how quickly the normal flush returns Then make the same test when you have smoked and compare.
 Another investigator, Dr. R. Starr LampSon, Boston, carried on further studies and scientific measurements of the degree of impairment of the circulation produced by smoking He found that smoking and inhal- ing cigarettes produces a sudden marked peripheral vaSconstriction that is, a contraction, narrowing down of the fine arteries at the points where the blood enters the capillary spaces. This effect lasts for sixty minutes. If the smoke is not inhaled, the vasoconstriction oc- CUTS just the same, but lasts only about Is minutes.
 The difference between putting the smoke right out of the mouth and inhaling is merely difference in the area of mucous membrane exposed to the smoke, and conse- quently a difference in the dose, the

perfect slices. Wipe each slice dry and place it between folds of soft tea towel. Heat fat to 265 degrees F. Or hot enough to make bubbles rise to the surface when potatoes are put in. Put six or eight slices in- to kettle and cook five minutes. stirring with a long handled fork or skinner. Remove at once to second kettle in which fat is heat ed to 425 degrees P. Cook until puffed and delicately Drowned and crisp. Drain on crumpled paper and sprinkle with salt. Keep in a warm oven, about 300 degrees F. until ready tserve to insure crisp ness.
 Slices that do not puff can be re- heated nfat for another meal.
