necessarily what you should weigh.
In figuring your normal weight,
always take your structure into
consideration, remembering that
weight for any structure

women.
Daily weighing is not to be
trusted as an indication of con-
sistent gain or loss. The daily
change in weight during the re-
ducing process is largely due to
water exchange, and is relatively
unimportant. 1t is the weekly
and monthly averages that tell
the story.
Structure also influences weight
loss. The short, stocky individual
finds it more difficult to lose
weight, since her calorie require
ments are much lower than those
of the tall, slender girl who has a
larger percentage of active tissue.
Whatever your normal weight,
your measurements must match in
order to have Streamlines. A wan
dering waistline can ruin the eff.

A Thought for Today
Closed After May I?

Anybody who has visited the state park on Sherwood Island near the Town oI Westport in Fairfield County will have observed the sign at the entrance. It IS a warning to the public that the resort will be closed after May l. When the State Park and Forest Commission or dered this sign erected it either had pre- raonition of what was to come or had given up all hope of overcoming legisla- tive lethargy in the matter Of taking proper care of Connecticut's first state park.
 This week will settle the matter one way or the other. Not only does the states lease on land, needed to make the park. one of three that we now have along the Long Island shore, available, expire on May 1, but this week the House must remove from it's calendar or pass over bill, favorably reported by the committee on state parks and reservations, enabling the State Park and Forest Commission to buy the necessary land to complete Sher- wood Island State Park.
 Please, oh please, legislators, do some thing about this matter! It has been dragged through every legislative session now for years and years. There have been promises galore to take care of the mat ter. The state has hedged this way ana that in discussing and planning the fu- ture of the park. A few years ago it acted as if it wanted actually to make some thing of the park. It leased the land that makes available sufficient land for recrea- tional purposes, as well as permitting large numbers of people to get to the park and leave their automobiles nearby.
 But leases expire and this one does May 1. After that things revert to the condition they were in when someone managed to arouse the legislators a few few years back. An option to buy at $6O,OOO is held by the state. We haven't much money to spend on land for parks and forests these days, but here's matter that has laid us open to much suspicion. Why not clear the name of the state by doing the only decent thing left-buy the land and develop the park as should be.

Maybe So, Maybe So

< We note the small loan companies of this state are being subjected to criticism for the manner in which they sought to persuade legislators that bills governing Interest rates on loans made by thelr companies should not be approved. It may be recalled that National Commit teeman David E. FitzGerald of New Ha- ven was spokesman for the affiliated small loan companies of the state when bills lowering their interest rates were heard recently in committee. On this score the concerns are criticized because they chose political methods to oppose proposed legislation.
 Perhaps the companies had given up all hopes of securing fair trial of their case in any other way than by sending to Hartford representative who was well lyersed in the way such hearings are con- lducted, who knew members of the com jxnittee, who had appeared before similar groups on other occasions, and lastly who was sufficient of spokesman to carry some weight in presenting his arguments against the bills and for the companies stand on its present rate of interest. i We don't know whether it has weak ened the stand the. small loan companies have taken on reduced interest rates as has been maintained by what we are led to believe are impartial observers and diSinterested onlookerS. But we wonder If this same group realizes that should the bills become laws and the new inter- est rates prevail, many companies now operating in this state will be forced to move out of it. This is not threat but an actual fact. It worked out that way in New Jersey where the rates were knocked down to the point that the companies could not do business any longer.
 And should the number of small loan companies be materially reduced in this state it would mean that not merely hun- dreds but thousands of people in the wage-earning class would be forced to trade with "loan-sharks," where the state exercises no control. Those who don't go to the sloan-sharkS" will be forced back on what of recent years we have termed relief. That's an actual fact and reliable relief authorities can show you the trend that begins with reduced interest rates for small loan companies. Neither the individual nor the community will profit in the longru

TomOrrOw's Newspaper

Newspaper publishers and editors are naturally interested in a recent state ment by pr. George Gallup, the public poll expert, as to what the newspaper of tomorrow" will be like. Interested but not entirely convinced. He says it will have more pictures, wider news columns and larger type.
 The first of these changes is obviously under way now, and may go far. Already some publications calling themselves newspapers are nearly all pictures. But print-type was created because picture writing was inadequate. There are mil lions of things that can't be told in pic lures. And people want to know.
 Wider news columns and larger type would go together, so that is mainly question of whether ordinary news type now is large enough. All such things have been carefully studied The larger the type, the less reading matter you can get on page or in paper of given size and weight. The large type and long lines are easier to see; but with small type and narrow columns the eye can take in more at once, and it is easier on many eyes.
 Newspapers printed like childrens primers will be shy of news, or more ex- penSive. The average reader reads only about 10 per cent of the printed mate rial," says pr. Gallup. But suppose there are 10 different publics? Everythings read by somebody.
 Critics who demand easier reading often overlook the fact that newspaper reading is really made pretty easy now. Nearly every news story of importance is really told three times-first in the headlines; second in the first sentence or paragraph, more fully, and often in large type; and last, with detail and continu- ity, in the body of the narrative. The reader has his choice. With a picture added, as is often the case, a newspaper man considers the matter pretty well covered for all type of readers. So what? We ask you.

Last week Rep. John D. Thoms of this city was quoted as critical of the manner in which two legislative committees are reporting out bills. He singled out the committees on appropriations and finance for his comment, saying that both were holding up passage of much important legislation by failure to take up and re- port out bills now pending before them. That is doubtless true, but it seems to be a rut into which all legislative com mittees fall naturally and easily. For a number of sessions past now there has been tendency on the part of committees to put off the bills that might require some lengthy consideration. Without attempting to point out any faults on the part of the members of the committees, we do think there is tendency among them to consider first political expe- diency, then public welfare. Too many times bills are held up simply because the attitude of the party on certain question hasn't been determined In the long run that does not produce results.

slipped a joker into the bill by which the Hawaiians were able to refine anly 30 per cent of their output. The rest had to be sent to the continental United States to be refined-obviously real concession to the big refiners.
 Moreover, the HawaiianS claim that on the days their sugar arrived in New York, the refiners always contrived to de- press the price of sugar tempor- arily, so as to buy the cargo cheap.
 This has been eliminated in the new sugar bill, which is one req son why the big refiners and the beet sugar people have formed their alliance. Their chief aim is to up their own quotas at the ex- pense of other areas, and Capitol Hill is going to see terrific sugar battle before the sugar bill final ly is passed.

We hope that the plans of the police to maintain vigilant 24-hour patrol of the East Main sector of the city won't result in a shift to some other part of the town of the accident wave in which we seem to be engulfed. Often that is the case when special emphasis is laid upon certain thing there is lessening at another point. There is no doubt that the police should bear down when motorists are inclined to make a speedway of any par ticular street. Only in this way can recklessness be curbed. And reckless, whether intentional or unconscious, pro- duceS the most accidents.

SPRING

SPRING By Minnie Meserve Soule in the Boston PosD Spring. and the grasses marching, To the music of piping frogs, With their green blades flashing brightly, On hillsides and meadows and bogs Spring, and the sweet flag waving Its banners by silver streams, And birches swinging bright tassels, Where the sunshine glanceS and gleamS. Spring, and bluebird flying Like bit of the sky, and free, To grace with heavenly beauty, The sturdy brown limbs of tree. Spring, and the icy letters Are transformed to waters that flow, And bless with music and beauty The banks where forget-me-nots grow. Spring. and my heart beats wildly, The roll call for my restless feet, To join the procession of April, Through woodlands with mosses sweet Spring. and my soul surrenders Its doubts and wavering fears, When the frozen heart of nature, Is melted by April's tears.

He indicated that he would much rather keep war debts on the shelf, whence he could take them down as a possible gesture of American good will if Europe was able to get together on G:sarma- ment.
 In other words, if Europe would make new pledge to avoid the next war, Roosevelt would throw away the financial mem- ories of the last.
 NOTE-European diplomats, in- formed of this plan, point out that Europe long ago has forgotten about war debts, that Roosevelt's gesture would be next to empty. Party Whipping
 The much higher degree of ef- ficiency of the House of Repre- sentatives, as compared with the Senate, is due in large part to the IT Whips, whose job it is to keep the democratic donkey from break ing out of the traces.
 It is generally supposed that each party has only one floor leader, but the management of the present unwieldy democratic majority required the efforts not only the Majority Whip Patrick J. Roland, but also of Chief Assistant Whip John F. Dock weller, plus 15 lesser Assistant Whips.
 The Whip has an office in the Capitol, just above Statuary Hall, where the Big Whip and the 16 Little Whips gather around an oval table and plan the execu- tion of party policy.
 Little Whips
 Each assistant has a district of zone, and when the policy is de- termined, he is responsible for securing the attendance of the party members in his zone, and whipping them into line. The heaviest job falls to Assistant Whip William F. Sutphin, who must corral all 27 of Penn sylvania's democrats plus the 2 New Jersey members. Lightest job falls to Assistant Whip Will liam M. CitrOn, who covers all New England, and has only l3 democrats in his fold.
 It is the business of the Whips to sound out sentiment and re- port their findings to the lead- CTS. If it appears that certain members are reticent, or openly opposed to given proposition, it is the duty of the Whip to make them conform to party orders. He must be adroit and tactful, must cultivate a personal knowledge of each man in his group, must un- derstand his ambitions and his convictions.
 When pacific methods fail, he is supposed to apply the lash of the party whip.
 NOTE-The office of Whip is derived from the British Parlia- ment.
 UnhOly Alliance
 One of the most unusual lobby ing combinations seen on Capitol Hill in many moons is the unique alliance between the big sugar refiners and the beet sugar com- panies, now nicknamed "The Un- Holy Alliance"
 For years the two groups have been bitter enemies. The big re- liners import their sugar in the raw from Cuba. The beet growers grow their sugar in the Middle West, refine 1t themselves in the beet areas. So the economic in- terests of the two clash all along the line.
 Nevertheless they have nov come together, chiefly for the purpose of putting up Q united front against the two minor sugar areas Of Puerto Rico and Hzwail.
