that sum was accompanied by the
assurance that the federal work
relief policy would not be changed.
This created widespread suspicion
here, shared by persons ordinarily
well informed, that Roosevelt had
in the back Of his mind the pos
sible necessity of deficiency APP
propriation for relief by next
March or April which would lift
the cost well above Sl,5o0,000,00o.
There are about 2,050,000 per-
sons on WPA rolls now. Hopkins
saws S1,5OO,000,000, considering
funds otherwise available and de-
Quoting sums for other activities,
would keep monthly average OF
| 100000 on the rolls during the
NEXT fiscal year. It's an "irreduc-

kins. and his hopes Of getting by
ON it while adhering to present
policy is based on continued pick

Smaller Towns
Also Reveal
Upswing
100000 to 100000
Population Class
Seen Tagging

CHICAGO, May 29.-The IA
largest cities in the United States,
plus those which range from TO-
900 to 100000 in population, are
the champion home builders this
year and have increased their per-
centage Of the total residential
construction substantially over last
year.
The United States Building and
Loan League, analyzing the trends
of home building as revealed in
the Bureau of Labor statistics,
draws parallels between the loca-
ton Of the bulk Of savings and
loan association assets in the ma
ton and the rising tide of home
building.
The cities over 100000 and the
smaller cities under 100000 have
between 81 and SIS per cent OF
all savings and loan resources in
the country and they are putting
up about rs per cent of this years
new homes. Approximately ST.
, 481 100000 of building and loan
assets are in the largest cities,
and another $1,725, 100000 are in
the smaller group Of champion
builders.
A further item in the parallel
is the fact that al of the GA as
sociations chartered in the last
three years are in these two
groups of cities.
Harold T. Donaldson, president
of the league, calls particular at
. tention to the decrease in per
centage of new home building
taking place in the group of cities
between 100000 and 100000.
During the two months of 1886
they accounted for about % per
cent of the total Of new dwelling
units erected, but this year it has
dropped to 16 per cent, according
to the Bureau of Labor's first two
months count.
An equally significant drop has
taken place in the percentage Of
the new building in towns under
, 10000, but is not considered so
battling, Donaldson says. The
lack of a tendency to expand, on
the part of most small towns,
would make it simpler for them
to supply their housing needs in
a year or two of building and then
- to taper off in comparison with
, the increasing activity of popula-
ton centers. This can scarcely
be the explanation in the cities
. between 100000 and 100000, he
claims, explaining:
"OpiniOn of the savings and
loan executives in many of
these cities is that rising build
ing costs have struck them
much more heavily than they
have so far affected the cities
smaller than 100000"

Considering the fact that build.

Each of the modern homes con-
tains six comfortable rooms and

low price of $4,350. Purchases
may be made with a reasonable
down payment and small monthly
installments.
Every family buying a home in

to boast about its large lawns, its
space for vegetable and flower
gardens and its convenience to

There's an amazing amount OF

keeping your weight at nor
NAL" she says, els the best guar
antee of a schoolgirl complexion.
With normal weight you tire less
easily, and the skin is less apt
to break out. Tell the teen age,
she goes on, "tO drink their milk,
for there is no better beauty food
than milk"
Dixie knows that a good break
fast means pep for the morning,
and she likes orange juice, cereal
and q glass of milk.
At this age, posture is most i'm
portant to your figure, for as she
points out:
"YOu can't have a good figure
with poor posture"
Dixie believes in dancing-tap
classical or modern-for the de
velopment of a graceful posture
All dancing does not help the pos
ture, however. Take, for example
the rhumba, which Dixie loves. It
creates the habit Of holding the
shoulders forward, and rounded
shoulders are not flattering to any
one. For good posture, the Shoul
ders must be back and up.
In one particular, all dancing Is
alike, for it teaches you to use
your feet gracefully and to walk
beautifully. Dixie walks gaily, as
if she loves it! From the stand
point OF grace, posture and the
figure, Dixie believes that dancing
is the best possible exercise, but
she does not neglect sports.
If you acquire an enthusiasm for
some sport while you are young.
you will not only develop a beauti'
full figure, but will be more likely
to keep it. Dixie swimS well, plays
fair badminton and bad tennis.
All games, to her, are imbued with
a keen joy Of living. Her beauty
schedule is rounded out with eight
to nine hours sleep every night,
No cocktails-ever! And if you
think it's smart, it's smarter not
to, take it from Dixie, who says,
There are so few girls who do not
smoke that men admire girl who
doesn't"
Advice on street makeup for the
Teen Age is simple:
Don't pluck your eyebrows.
Let them be natural. Shape
them If you wish, but do not
make them too thin, as this is
most unfIattering. EyeShadOw
for the daytime just makes you
look sleepy"
Dixie's own makeup is restricted
to lipstick and a tiny speck OF
powder on the end Of her pert
little nose and the tip Of her chin
She even likes freckles, because
they look so healthy.
The Washington times., 1937-05-29

''Why, they're cute" she says.
Lots Of stars have them!"
So don't let freckles worry you,
after this.
Dixie is 4 feet 11h inches tall
and weighs between 80 and IS
pounds. She thinks she Is the only
girl in Hollywood who Is trying to
gain weight When you weigh
more, you have more pep, she says,
and Teen Age beauty has more
sparkle for an extra 10 pounds.
You might disregard all this
sound advice coming from your
mother-but not from the delight
full, delovely Dixie!
