thousand calorie menu, which Is
the average reducing diet, is far
too inadequate and apt to take its
toll in health and looks.
Your large frame gives you a
high normal ca1orie allowance,
therefore your reducing Galleries
will be proportionately high. For
example, when $500 Galleries a
day are the normal amount. your
reducing Galleries can be as high

To arrive at the number Of
calories allowed in a reducing

velop breadth through the middle
and hips. All figures seem to
be in need Of hip exercise.
To be flattering, weight must
be properly distributed and there
must be good muscle tone. Flabbi-
ness Is unbecoming to any figure,
large or small. Exercise is the
measure needed to tone the mus
cles and redistribute the weight,
and it should be a regular part Of
your program.
The most serviceable exercises
use the large muscles Of the body.
The stretching exercises are in
valuable for the prevention or cor
rection Of q thickened waistline,
and the abdominal and hip ex-
ercises give your figure contour
control. AL outdoor activities are
beneficial and will help you to
keep your vitality at q high level.
Extreme slimneSS should never
be your goal, as 1t takes curved
contours to flatter a large frame.
OF course, II you are considerably
overweight, you should get rid Of
the SuperfluouS flesh. but aim at
normal weight for your build
rather than fashionable slimness.
Keep fit through health-giving ex-
ercise and sensible diet, and you
can be proud Of your figure.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 20
Q.N.SO.-Richmond'S controversy
over morals in nude art" Gained
as quickly as it arose. when E. M.
Terrell, former school teacher, de-
cided today he didn't want John
Stewart Bryan, jr., vice chairman
Of the Academy Of Arts, arrested
after all.
Terrell late yesterday swore out
a warrant against Bryan, whose
father is president of William and
Mary College, for permitting dis
play of pictures which Terrell de-
clared tended to corrupt youthful
morals.
The former school teacher really
wanted the artist, Mordi GaSSner,
Of New York, arrested, but decided
to be satisfied with Bryan when
authorities told him Gassner was
in New York and could not be
extradited for a misdemeanor.
Overnight Terrell decided prose
cution of the case would result in
a wide division Of sentiment and
that undue publicity would be
given the artist and his work. So
the complaint was withdrawn in
police court at his request.
