the Sitters on One Leg. When the
mayor bounces into room, his
quick eye usually falls ON a capac-

full bounce. Tucking one leg under
his roly-poly bulk like chicken

Sitters on One Leg are pudgy. Such
as Charles Laughton, Alexander
Woollcott, Col. Joseph fairfield and
and James M. Barrie. Yet the Gus
tom has its addicts among the long

this posture when relaxing for read

exponent Is the tall and gangling
playwright, Robert E. Sherwood.
Robert Sherwood, by the way, is
the envy of almost every man who

has become the old squire of Tory
Hall-an easy going gentleman of
a lush English countryside, a short
spin from London. He has regi-

even bell pulls to summon them like
they have in the sets Of English
plays. He writes when the mood

HENRY FORD'S SOLUTION
TO THE FARM PROBLEM

What Henry Ford has to say is always
interesting. And at this time when
there is no more pressing a problem
than the future of agriculture, his in
dication of final solution proves dou-
bly, interesting.
Writing for the American Legion
Monthly, Ford holds out the hope that
just as industry and machines did the
most damage to farming, industrial pro-
gress may soon be able to do the most
good.
The forty million American acres
which lost their established market when
industry made gasoline power more eff
ficient than animal power" he writes,
twill through industry within a few
years be restored to greater usefulness
Every acre formerly used to raise food
for animals will be used again to provide
materials for industry"
Ford points out the increasing list
of farm produced material which goes
into the manufacture of automobiles
and other industrial products. Uphol-
hair, cotton, leather, CLUES, linseed and
castor oil, solvents, anti-freeze and
shock absorber fuels are among those
mentioned. A half-bushel of soy beans
goes into each motor car he produces,
the magnate declared, being used in the
enamel finish. He forecasts that the use
of plastics in auto manufacturing will
greatly increase in the future, stressing
that many plastics have as bases, soil
grown material.
There has been constant growth in
the acreage planting materials to be
used by industry, he maintained and
forecasts that this growth will rapidly
rise.
Though Ford's bright prospect may
be open to considerable discussion, we
hope he is not overly optimistic.

Glow1ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
(NEA Service Staff Writer)

(NEA Service Staff Writer)
 Assuming she has no distorted bone structure, there is no reason why any woman cannot have beau- tiful hands at infinitesimal expense and regardless of the kind of work she does. She must realize, however, that hand beauty doesn't just hap pen. It is something which requires constant, though simple, attention.
 Regular manicures (home or pro- fessionaD; use of hand lotion or cream-or @ homemade substitute for them-two or three times 8 day; two minutes of exercise and a brief massage once @ day; an oil treat ment once week-these are the rules. Follow them and you will no longer be ashamed of the appear ance of your hands.
 Develop Attractive Contours
 Hand exercises are more inn portant than most women seem to realize. Exercises develop muscu- lature and flesh that give hands and fingers attractive lines.
 Once day, sit in straight chair and let your arms hang limp at your sides. Then lift your hands and make believe that you are shaking water from your finger tips. Keep fingers relaxed and make wrists do the work.
 Now rest your elbows on a table and clench your fists. Open slowly; clench again; repeat ten times. Use your left hand to bend your right one forward as far as it will go, then backward. Unless the hand being bent resists the pressure the muscles will not be properly exer- cised. Reverse and repeat, bending left wrist with right hand.
 Do Exercises Before Retiring
 Imagine that you are pulling taffy which is getting quite cold and stiff. Bring the fingers of both hands together, then force them outward.
 It is best to do the exercises just before you go to bed and to finish with a massage. Rest your elbows on table, apply q good hand cream or your night cream, manipulate the palm of each hand with thumb of the other. Massage downward from extended fingertips to wrists, paying special attention to cuticle and knuckles. Don't stop until some of the cream has been absorbed and your hands are warm and tingling.
 Tn cold weather, at least, 1t is 8 good idea to put warm olive oil on hands and wrists one night a week

|, toms are more marked on one side than the other. Such trouble IS not only preventable but curable by an optimal ration of vitamin B. Form erly the neuritis of pregnancy was vaguely attributed to "toxemia"- which means some poison or other in the blood-but evidence is now accommodating to support the view that this condition is due to vianlin deficiency, and indeed the "toxemia of pregnancy" itself may be due to the same vitamin deficiency. Chiefly vitamin B, but deficiency of other vitaminS as well.
 Every expectant mother should have an ample allowance Of vita min B, vitamin c, and vitamin D. If her physician fails to tell her how to insure getting enough vita mains, she should get them on her own.
 I have been trying to tell here, as many times as possible, how to get the essential vitamins. If you failed to hear me have a booklet Build ing Vitality" or another "Prepar- ing for Maternity" which will give you the gist of it, if you have a dime and three-cent-stamped en- velope bearing your address.
 The prospective mother probably requires four times as much vita min B as she ordinarily must have.

Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRESS

Paris (UP) -Mainbo bocher, who first launched the tunic dress. makes use of them for every. occasion in his winter collection.
 The tunics are shown in varying lengths-some merely short hip length basques, while others come to 6 inches or SO above the hem of the underskirt. The tunics usually are fiared over g tight underskirt, but in the case of several evening costumes, both skirts are widely fiared. They often are in either two different shadesof the same ma terial or of two contrasting mate- rials.
 One of the new Mainbocher tunic dresses is in black wool crepe. The top. which ends in a fiaring basque at the hip, has been caught into a diamond shaped pattern which is studded with brilliants.1 The skirt is of plain wool crepe. fS.
 Another new feature at this house is the use of 8 square or V neck for daytime clothes that is filled in with g brightly colored scarf that often matches the belt or cuff bands. These scarves are tied like a stock and the ends are pulled down inside the neckline of the dress.
 All hues of red are shown here with wine shades predominating. Crimson and cherry red are used in velvets for afternoon and evening wear. For afternoon wear, there are many dresses in crepe or wool that are trimmed at the neck with 8 draping of velvet.
 Outstanding is.a black satin tlinic evening gown which comes to the knees in front but extends down ward in back to form a tcain. The lnderskirt is black tulle, gathered very full.

VITAMIN DEFICIENCY AND
 NEURITIS

NEURITIS
 Old dogs are slow to learn new tricks.
 Beri-beri, the polyneuritiS of the tropics, is well known, in the trop- ics, to be due to prolonged def1c- iency of vitamin B in the diet. The disease is due to vitamin deficiency from its beginning, when the v1c- tim suffers only vague disturbance of health right up to the stage of complete disability. There is con- siderable evidence to support the belief that in some instances berl- beri occurs in this country, though thanks to the higher level of nu- triton, the better scale of living, the malady does not develop into complete paralysis, and the nature of the trouble is likely to go un- recognized. However, numerous alert clinicians have observed and reported the marked improvement in certain hospitalized patients when they are given a liberal daily ration of vitamin B. These observ- CTS find that, long before the neu- ritis or partial paralysis becomes evident, such patients suffer from impairment of the capacity of the heart, the power of the heart mus cle, and an adequate ration of vi- tamin B helps the weakened heart and the poor circulation more than any medicinal heart stimulant or tonic can.
 So-called ''alcoholic neuritis," :" which occurs in hard or steady drinkers who sustain themselves with alcohol rather than regular food, is now generally aScribed to vitamin deficiency, chiefly vitamin B, from prolonged deprivation, vol- untary deprivation, lack of normal appetite for proper food which would supply the necessary vita minS.
 The administration of adequate amounts of vitamins to patients suffering with alcoholic" neuritis, multiple neuritis, Steppage gait, foot drop, is the therapeutic test which proves the soundness of this observation, for these patients show greater improvement under such treatment than was ever obtained under the treatment in vogue when he neuritis was ascribed to alco- holic poisoning of the nerves.
 In pregnancy neuritis is not un- common complication. The patient complains of numbness, tingling, pins-and needles sensation, and often considerable ache or pain in the arms or legs, the pain being worse at night. Usually the symp-

 Right here run into an enemy. The college instructor thinks the average age of the student, even now, is against his success in ad- vanced subjects, urging that the student take a year of at work after high school so as to be ma turely developed for the tough nuts he has to crack when he hangs up his cap in college.
 This, have to admit, seems sensible, as many immature youths and girls tackle higher education who are no more ready for what they have elected to study than I am for flying. s

Guard Against Carbon Tetrachloride
 Poisoning At Home Or At Work

home use consist largely of car- bon tetrachloride. In machine shops, workers use this substance for removing grease from ma chimes and from the hands. Beauty shops use it as a dry shampoo, and doctors prescribe it for re- moval of hookworm and other parasites.
 Nevertheless, the fumes of car- bon tetrachloride in quantity will disturb health, and overdoses are exceedingly poisonous.
 If the hands are kept too long in carbon tetrachloride, the chem ical wil draw the fat out of the skin, which then becomes dry. A dry skin cracks easily, and germs then can enter and cause second ary infection. People who work great deal with carbon tetra- chloride should grease the hands regularly with ointment before going to work, to prevent the dry ness that may result.
 In preventing intoxication from carbon tetrachloride, good ventila- tion is of utmost importance. The fumes are heavier than air and seek the lower levels. In large plants where many workers are em- ployed, 1t is customary to build suction devices which will draw the poisonous fumes out of the room. Carbon tetrachloride should never be used in shampoos for hair dry ing because of the danger of pois- oning those on whom it is used.
 
 A person who is acutely poisoned by carbon tetrachloride should be removed at once from contact with the substance and given plenty of fresh air. The doctor will alkalin- ize the body, provide suitable rem- edies for building up the blood, and will guard against any possible dan- gers to stomach, kidneys, and other organs which may be dam- aged by this chemical.
