Thus, if you're forty years old, you may be half an inch or 50 taller than you were before you got bald. This may not seem like much, but it's enough to expose a lot of white sock between pants-botton and shoe-t top. Your chest also keeps on expanding through life. even though you are failure in business and a hen-pecked husband and have noth- ing whatever about which to be proud. If your vest gets too tight and the buttons pop off, you're not growing fat. you're merely growing, and your wife should hold her ton- que. Your mouth gets bigger, the better to eat with, and your nose longer, the better to look down. That's all right if you had a medium mouth and an ordinary nose to start with, but if these were extra big in the beginning beware of mir TOTS as Dr. Hrdlicka puts 1t: The majority of the dimensions, headed by stature, progress perceptibly on the average until well into the fourth decade of life. others increase slightly until the fifth or even sixth decade.
 "Still others, such as the dorsal length and breadth of the nose, the length of the ears. width of the mouth, and depth of the chest keep on augmenting throughout most. fl not all, of adult existence"
 What I'm going to do Is grow whiskers, smash my looking glass, and wear jplus-fours. ! sec no other solution.

 IS NEXT TROUBLE

Washington, Feb. 16-(UP)-The schism in organized labor widened today to virtually irreconcilable pro- portions on the eve of negotiations of a new wage scale in the bitumin- ous coal industry.

 The new clash between John l.. Lewis and William Green came when the policy committee of Lewis United Mine Workers ordered Green expelled from membership for mak- ing Insulting, strike-breaking" statements after Lewis settlement of the General Motors strike.
