garding judicial appointments in the
old 18th and new 21st districts,
enator Gilmer Sparger, of Stokes, is
expected to race Judge Edmund
Chatham Bivens in the 21st, and
Floyd Grouse, of Allegheny, is set

Britain OkaVS Fox Hunting
 In Spain

LONDON, Dec. 29-Anthony Ed en has told Commons it's all right with His Maiesty's Government if the Royal Calpe Hunt at Gibraltar wants to chase it's foxes in Spain again
 Laborites have been bothered about the hunt clubs negotiations with General Francisco Franco on this grave matter
 Eden quoted a letter from the Governor of Gibraltar to the Presi- dent of the hunt, who already had received Franco's gracious" per- mission to resume tallyhoing.
 This is another historic exam pie of sports and sportsmanship ris- ing above bitterness and strife" the Governor said.
 He also cautioned the hunters to be careful about any Spanish citi- zens who might get in the way.

Never use a chin strap-unless you want to develop double chin.
 Chin straps are crutches that will result in bigger and better double chins," says Ann Delafield, New York beauty specialist.
 If you want to get rid of a double chin you must len g the and strengthen the controlling muscle the sterno-mastoid that runs along the side of your neck"
 This muscle, she says, holds the rest of the neck muscles in tow. Lengthening and strengthening it is not a long, drawn-out process. In fact, the trouble often may be cor rected merely by sitting or standing properly over period of time.
 One exercise, however. is very helpful. This is it.:
 Sit down Slump as much as pos sible. Pull your stomach in as far as possible. Lift your chest. Drop your head forward
 Then push your chin out as far as possible, then slowly draw it as far back as possible in a line par allel to the floor It's a good idea to do the exercises with the chair backed against the Wall-so that when you get to the end youll feel your neck pushing against the Wsll)
 That exercise will do three things: correct your sagging chin; lengthen and strengthen the sterno- -mastoid muscle, and get rid of the hump on the top of your shoulders.
 It will give your neck and shoul- ders the graceful contour which is more necessary this season than it has been for many years, now that off -the-neck coiffures are gaining such favor.

PACIFIC SYNOD

Kunzman of Vancouver Wash, and the Rev H. w, Monesmith of Everett, Wash, as synodical chair men of evangelism and music and pageants,
 The Anniversary Appeal, cele- brating the twentieth birthday of the U. L. C. A., is designed to stim- ulate among Lutherans of the Unit ed States and Canada a new in- terest in their own church and to provide a fund of 3,50O,000 neces- .sary for the church extension pro- gram outlined for the next few years.
 As chairmen of the evangelism phase of the Appeal for his synod, Rev MT Kunzman will have charge of what prominent clergymen of his denomination consider the most i'm portant objective of the movement
 Throughout 1889, Lutherans will be asked to become better Luther ans" Dr. Corbe said, in making the two appointments.
 When we have consolidated with in our ranks we will be prepared to carry a stronger, more determined story of the Gospel to those still without the church and the saving power of Jesus Christ"
 Tn this endeavor then, Rev. MT. Kunzman's duties are many and difficult" Dr Corbc said. He must see to the organization in each con- gregation of an evangelism com mittee of vital, forceful men and women who will direct with unlag- ging interest our personal evange- lism program as outlined for the Anniversary Appeal
 The new appointee in conjunc- ton with the publicity chairman for his territory will supervise the dis tribution of educational pamphlets and folders to the entire member ship of the synod.
 In addition, the chairman and his aides must cooperate with the com mittee on rallies and special ser

vices in order that the maximum interest can be secured and main- tained throughout the duration of the Anniversary Appeal
 The Rev. MT Monesmith will sell ect key cities in the synodical area for presenting pageants written es- pecially for the Appeal effort. Massed choral festivals and other unusual music services will be held at the larger churches and a Mob ilization service will be outlined for each congregation the Sunday im- mediately preceding the week Of intensive canvassing in each com munity. sf
