Perhaps if the House could see the

Plumbers Ignore
Leaks For Fete
Tonight

Check your plumbing fixtures
thoroughly today for any possible
defects, for should they spring a
leak tonight, the water will have
to flow as undaunted as that in
the Potomac.
Finding a plumber after 8
o'clock will be like the proverbial
needle in the haystack. The
closest one probably will be swing
ing his partner to the strains of
Leon Brusiloff's music at the
Mayflower Hotel where, from in
dications cast by the advance
ticket sale, more than 800 per-
sons will be attending the sixty
fourth annual dinner-dance Of the
Master Plumbers Association Of
Washington.
Heading the list Of honor guests
are Commissioner Melvin C.
Hazen and A. r. McGonegal,
chief plumbing inspector for the
District. Others are George H.
Werner and George Bird, presi-
dent and secretary Of the Ma
tional Association of Master
Plumbers, respectively; John Fred
erick, president of the Baltimore
Plumbers Association, and Will
liam Mylander, also of the balti-

Johnson, Negro Midshipman Of

siping hot soup.

or one-thirty, you will feel fa-
tigued and know that you need
food. But when you finally eat,
you can't even finish a sandwich.
1t is not always possible to
have meals exactly on the dot,
so here's a plan for catering to
your appetite when your Joo
keeps you past your meal hour
Find a quiet nook, where you
can relax. Order a cup of hot
soup and sit there and sip it
leisurely. You will find the hot
SOUP not only goes down easier
than a dry sandwich, but actually
coaxes back your appetite, ana
may give you more interest IN
food. Then have something
creamed on toast, and salad, or
even a baked potato, which Is
one of the most easily digeSted
foods.
If these are too hearty for
you, at least drink a glass OF
whole milk and have one Of your
favorite cooked fruits with a
pitcher of cream. When you take
only part of q sandwich as a be-
lated luncheon, you are apt to be
about 500 calories short for the
day. That's no way to gain
weight.
Experiments show that the thin
nest girls among the asthenlc
underweights usually take the
least food. With a group OF un-
derweight young women. ranging
from II to 26 per cent below nor
NAL weight, it was found that 10
were taking less than 1900 calories
per day and 10 others less than
1000 calorieS. AL believed they
were taking all the food they
needed.
In every case. gradual increase
in calories increased weight ana
vitality to a surprising degree.
If you have neither gained nor
lost for the past several months,
then the amount OF food you are
taking maintains your weight at
it's present level.
To gain, you must add 200 to
400 calories extra each day. One
extra slice Of bread at two OF your
meals, plus an extra pat OF butter
at two meals, adds $50 more calo-
ries. Or a glass of whole milk in
the afternoon. and another before
retiring, will boost your calorie in
take by 300 BY consistently in
cluding these extra calorieS, you
can change your angles to curves.
Food is all important to the un-
derweight, and you should avoid
worry, fatigue, hurry and loss of
sleep, all of which take away your
appetite. You can only gain in
weight by living up to the condi-
tions which make it possible for
you to store calories.
