der the arms, drawing it together
about the bust. Record the chest
measurement. Now, bring the tape
across the center of the bust,
drawing it lightly. A proportionate
measurement may exceed the
chest by one-half to two inches.
The lovelieSt bust circumference
is one and one-half inches larger
than the chest.
Now for the waist measurement.
A streamlined waist is slenderer
than the bust by seven inches,
and an eighth-inch difference glor-
if1es Milady's waistline. An over
grown waist is disastrous to any
figure.

symmetry when they exceed the
bust measurement by more than
two inches. In measuring the hips,
keep the tape level and pass it
around the largest area to include
the derriere. It's all hips to the
modern girl!
The thigh is not one Of the
pivotal measurements. However,
shapely thighs are extremely i'm
portant to beauty. Take this
measurement slightly above the
center of the upper leg, or APP
proximatly 10 inches above the
knee. The thigh measurement
varies also according to struc-

wv adding the ''BilI of Rights to
our Constitution?
So jealous were the people to pro-
teet the freedom for which they had
fought the Revolutionary War that,
although Article l, Section 9, provides
for fundamental rights, the people re.
fused to ratify the Constitution until
it was understood that a more COM
plete "Bill Of Rights" would be added.
This was done promptly and stimuli
taneously by the first ten amendments,
which guarantee religious freedom,
free speech, free press, trial by jury
and other ''inalienable rights" which
man had fought for centuries to OBJ
tain. They apply to rich and poor,
strong and weak, irrespective Of color,
race or religion.
Under our Constitution, our courts
are required to see that neither State
government nor the United States
government deny these rights to the
humblest person.

DICKINSON BACKS
SENATE.ON COURT
Tells Political Study Club
Lincoln Criticized Su-
preme Tribunal.

Senator Dickinson, Republican. OF
Iowa, would rather see the Senate
abolished than have the power of the
Supreme Court curtailed, he told the
Political Study Club yesterday after
noon at its monthly meeting at the
Washington Club, Seventeenth and K
streets.
Senator Dickinson spoke on Amer
icanism VS.. Communism" and was the
chief speaker at the meeting. Mrs.
Otto Simon discussed Robert Schu-
mann as a romanticist and her hus-
band, Prof. Simon, accompanied Miss
Hazel Gem Hughes in a series OF
three Schumann numbers.
Senator Dickinson described the
American system Of government as the
happy medium between despotism and
typranny on one hand, and anarchy
on the other. Communism, he said, is
anarchy and its roponents here seek
that end.
Too Much Human Nature.
1.-THE reason communism doesn't
work" he said, 'is because there is SO
much human nature in the world"
The Iowa Senator told the study
club that the present current OF
criticism of the Supreme Court is a
recurrence of history. Lincoln" he
said, was a critic of the Supreme
Court. He saw the court attacked.
He didn't like its decisions"
II am not so much concerned as to
what decision the court may make" "
Dickinson said, "as I am in the right
of some one to make the decision.
That makes for stability and liberty,
for the protection of human rights"
Dickinson told of recent experience
OF having friend question the right
OF the court to throw out acts of Con-
greSs. The friend objected to the
attitude of the court toward recent
unnamed acts and he asked the SEN
ator about pending farm legislation,
which he foresaw would be unconsti-
tutional.
why can't the Senate and House
say what is to be done?" the friend
asked.
Where does the Supreme Court
get off?"
If there is to be choice" Dickin-
son said he answered, between the
Senate and the Supreme Court. ]
would rather see the Senate abolished. u
Dickinson also expressed his con-
fidence that communism would not
take foothold in this country because
the average American cherishes his
freedom and liberty too much.

most pressing needs. The money was
turned over on the basis of 10 per
cent loans, repayable at s1,O00,00C
yearly, and 80 per cent Federal grant
gift. An additional $10O 900 loan and
grant was made to Children's Hos
pital.
Any new fiscal arrangement with
the District, no doubt, will be made
on the basis Of the Federal Govern
inent making a grant of IS per cent
Of the cost of labor and materials as
Is now the case with non-Federal al
lotments. The proposed $4,25O 900
program, however, appears to be
drawn up on a 1890 basis, which
would require the District to repay
S2,975,000. The arrangement was
proposed when the original applica-
tions for these projects were made
last Spring before the scale of Fed
eral grants was increased to As per
cent as an encouragement to commit
tees to build bigger and better pub
Lie works.
Secretary Ickes has recognized from
the start the urgency of correcting
conditions now existing in the three
minor court buildings here, especially
at the Police Court, where over
crowding has been scored by many
prominent officials. the local bench
and bar. He had withheld funds
when money was available because
Of what he believed to be more press
ing needs in other communities and
to scatter the P. w. A. millions as
widely as possible.
The Commissioners have tried else
where to obtain funds, but without
success. They have asked .permis-
sion to make loan from the Treas
ury and also to use some of the sur
plus District revenue that keeps
piling up.
