ANOTHER OBSTACLE

OF strict parentS-mothers and
fathers who have completely for.
gotten the way of Youth, and re-
fuse to permit their daughters
to receive young men in their
own homes, leaving these girls
the dismal alternatives of pick.
ing up men on street corners, or
becoming frustrated spinsters.
And there is the unhappy girl
whose pay envelope must go to
hold a family together, and who
never has anything left over to
buy the proper clothes to GO
places.
And again there is thai ter
rible menace, a difference in re-
ligion. Another barrier, equally
insurmountable, is the difference
in nationalitieS.
Parents bring to this country
the greatest melting pot In the
world, all of their Old World pref
udices, and with them, the in
sistence that sons and daughters
shall marry men and women OF
their own race and creed.
This Girl and Boy forum is
open for discussion. And, as in
the Girl-and-Boss series, just
closed, the best letters on the sub
ject of why girls and boys do not

for the consideration of the City Council. The building, MT. Foss said, was designed for the vacant prop erty owned by B. M. Behrends be- tween the zynda Hotel and the Up- town Theatre. As illustrated Mr Foss said, the building would lend itself to addition on any of the four sides, and would be within the cost of $20,000, including heating plant. The specific location, he said would allow the maximum amount of light.
 MT. Foss stated that he believes it advisable to select site and to state the location of the lot upon which the proposed library is to be built before making application for a PWA loan and grant. The lot next to the City Hall, he said, is not n practical site for the library be- cause of insufficient light.

VISITORS TO
CATHEDRAL

A cordial invitation to Christ
mas visitors in the Nations
Capital to participate in special
services in washington Cathedral
is issued by the Right Rev. James
E. Freeman, D. D., IL. D., Bishop
of Washington, and his colleagues
on the Cathedral staff.
Services on Christmas Day will
begin with celebration Of the Holy
Communion at 7:30 and $50
o'clock in the Bethlehem Chapel
OF the Holy Nativity. This portion
of the Cathedral crypt-where the
foundation stone of the Cathedral
was laid in 1907-tells the Christ
mas story in Sculptured stone and
stained glass for all the ages. The
central panel of the Reredos de-
picts the scene in the Bethlehem
manger with angels adoring the
Holy Child.
Bishop Freeman will deliver his
Christmas Day sermon at the fes-
tival service of Holy Communion
in the great choir beginning at II
o'clock. Special music to be rem
dered by the Cathedral choir OF
men and boys under the direction
of Robert G. Barrow will include
the anthems: "Sleeps Judea Fair. I"
by Mackinnon, and welcome Our
Saviour Christ" a new compost
ton by Lefebvre. Members Of the
congregation will join in singing
such familiar hymns as 20 Come,
All Ye Faithful" "It Came Upon
the Midnight Clear" 20 Little
Town of Bethlehem!" and "Hark!
the Herald Angels Sing"
Immediately following this Serv-
ice, there will be a pilgrimage
through the Cathedral conducted
by the editor of The Cathedral
Age, especially for out-of-town
worshippers who have not had an
opportunity to see the Great Choir
and the Crypt Chapels. The Cur,
ator's Office at the west end of
the foundations where the model
of the completed edifice is on ex-
hibition, will be open Christmas
Day.

the water so degrees Fahrenheit
will double the energy output,
and one at 40 degrees will triple it.
Cold showers should be taken
only if you react we'll to them.
If your doctor approves, condi-
ton yourself to the low tempera-
ture gradually, beginning at IS
degrees. Follow with a brisk rub
down with a rough towel until
you are aglow. You may also
like the fraction mitts. which are
used in the bath.
Don't make the mistake of
thinking, however, that massage,
cold showers, etc., let you out of
exercise. To keep your figure
smooth, you must strengthen the
weak, lazy muscles which are re-

TO RUB OUT that cushion
of fat, try massage.

this cushion of fat, and then-if
you will just hold up your head,
you can keep it away. You will
also find the vibrator useful for
fat pads about the shoulders and
upper, arms.
The most popular bulges are
those which pad the hips and do
not readily respond to exercise.
Massage and pummeling will do
more to reduce these fat pads
than any single exercise.
The right technique in rolling
affords excellent massage for the
hipline area. Rolling exercises
should be performed on mat or
blanket on the floor-the harder
the surface the better for your
bulges. The straight roll is taken
stretched out on the floor on the
back, hands on the floor above
head, fingers locked. Roll back
and forth sideways from one hip
bulge to the other for 80 counts.
Relax.
Another good hip massage is to
roll from the waist. Lie flat on
the back with the arms stretched
straight out at the sides, in line
with the shoulder, knees drawn up
toward the chest and legs crossed
at ankles. Keep the shoulders re-
Taxed but flat and twist at the
waist, rolling the hips to bring the
side Of the thigh on the floor, then
roll to the other side.
Any measure which stimulates
circulation is helpful in reducing.
Cold showers raise the metabol-
ism and stimulate circulation, not
only at the time but for some
4;v,oa aftaruard shower with
