Hecht Official Tells
OF scandinavian Trip

Growth and development Of
modern retailing abroad, follow
ing current American methods,
were described by Mr.. H. H. Levi,
vice president of the Hecht Com
pany, who, with Mrs. Levi, today
returned from a six-weeks tour of
the Scandinavian countries.
Mr.. Levi emphasized the great
strides being made by forward
looking merchants in Copenhagen
and Stockholm, and their eager
ness to adopt scientific methods
of merchandising and selling.
Throughout Norway, Sweden,
Denmark and Finland, there ex-
lists the strongest kind of COOP
erative feeling among the gov
ernmentS and the people, accord
ing to Mr.. Levi. Their hospitable
attitude towards visitors greatly
reflects this feeling.
The large stores, too, in these
various countries work closely
with one another, with the re-
suit that there is a strong or
ganization among them for the
purpose of the exchange Of in
formation, for greater science in
retailing, and for better working
conditions for their people. They
are interested in the things that
the United States is doing and
keep in close touch with similar
organizations in this country.
Employees Aided
Large retailers are strongly
Of the opinion that workers must
have incentive for greater accom-
pliShment and that there must
be no obstruction thrown in the
pathway of advancement to the
end that the future of every in
dividual worthwhile, engaged in
retail, shall have an equal oppor-
tunity to reach the top of the
ladder.
In many respects this compares
favorably with the ideas of some
of Americas great stores, Mr.. Levi
explained.
Mr.. Lewis journey, which car
ried him to the uppermost point
of continental Europe, began at
Iceland, just below the Arctic
Circle. The most northern vii.
lage visited on the tour was a
small settlement called Hammer

are furs and skins. The party
proceeded thence through mar

In reducing weight it is phySi
cal condition rather than age
which must be considered. Exces
Sive overweight at any age makes
it necessary for the reducer tc
undergo a thorough physical ex
animation as a preliminary tc
her program. When one has
passed the half century mark
this examination becomes in
creasingly important.
You want to know whether
there are any worn-out parts in
your machinery before you begin
to make changes. However, your
doctor will probably agree that
less weight would improve your
health and increase your chances
of a hale old age.
On a scientific reducing plan
you will take your weight loss
slowly. You have been carrying
some of this weight for years
and you cannot expect to drop
1t abruptly without mourning
physiological penalties.
If you wish to improve your
appearance, you must consider
your skins elasticity. This elias
ticity is decreased not only with
age, but with the undue stretch,
ing it gets with overweight, and
it is very important that the sup
porting fatty tissue be removed
gradually. Let one-half to one
pound per week be your reducing
speed limit.
BY all means, take mild exer-
else if you are able to do so, but
be guided by your doctor. You
cannot exercise with a heart con-
dition or excessively high blood
pressure, or other complications,

but this does not prevent curtail.
ment of your food intake to check
a further storage of fat.
Excessive weight makes unnec.
essary work for the various or,
gans, obstructS bodily functions
and is a burden to be carried
about, contributing as it does to
discomfort and fatigue. It is not
natural to grow heavier as you
grow older. The tendency to in
creased weight after 80 is the
price of comfortable living and
soft muscles.
The men and women who
make a practice of daily correc-
tive exercise through the years
retain their youthful lines. Just
because you have passed middle
age is no reason for settling
down and letting your figure
and health-go.
When ucing to normal
weight after the age of so would
involve too great a change, such
a reduction is inadvisable. If
you are extremely overweight,
consult your doctor as to the
number of pounds you may lose
with benefit to your health. He
will no doubt approve, the re-
moval of the uncomfortable,
flabby fat that forms the bulk
Of your burden, but would advise
against a drastic reducing pro-
gram.
AS a rule, an approach to
weight that is more nearly nor
NAL is accompanied by increased
endurance and better chances
for a longer life.

John in Italy is today associated with
enormous banquets, the blowing OF
trumpets and merrymaking. In for
mer times, however, it was believed
to be the night of the witches sara

broom and a little salt on the doorstep
that night. Then when witch came
by it was supposed to count the grains
of salt, mount the stick and fly away
to the witches sabbath.
Ireland, too, once had curious
superstition about Midsummer eve.
There the people believed that on that
night the soul left the body and wan
dered to the spot where its owner
would eventually meet his death. For
this reason people used to sit up all
night or watch by fire to prevent
their souls going on this lugubrious
pilgrimage.
