CAR AUCTIONS,
NEWPR0BLEM

Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
today was faced with a new
problem in the perplexing park
ing situation.
1t was brought to his attention
that in the vicinity of automo-
bile auctioneering establishments,
owners of automobiles park their
cars at curbs on streets in front
of the establishments and leave
the cars to be sold.
Invariably, however, before
taking the departure, the car
owners remove the license plates
and take them along so that
when, and if, the car is sold
they may not be held liable for
actions of the new owner.
The problem is who the police
are to ticket when the automo-
bile is without tags. Commits.
sioner Hazen has no answer as
yet for the question.

ThaC is the reason we do not
Starve to death Immediately when
we go without food.
We need this reserve Of fat to
keep warm, to pad the nerves and
for emergency energy. However,
the fact that a little is good does
not mean that more is better. To
the contrary, excess weight is dead
weight and a burden. There is no
strength in fat.
Eighty thousand stored calories

people-for good measure-pile on
another 10000 by accumulating
20 pounds more fat than they
should normally carry.
Galleries come from food, and
the number of calories contained
In fats, sugars and proteins repre-
sentS their equivalent in energy.
Since food fat is the most ready
source of body fat, and since fats
are higher in calories than any Of
the other food principles, fats are
first to be reduced in the diet.
You cannot lose weight success
fully if you persist in the liberal
use of butter, take extra cream
in your coffee, have your salads
swimming in French dressing and
your vegetables covered with
cream sauce.
Every gram Of pure fat yields
nine calories t. every ounce, 255
calorieS every pound, 1000
calories! AS a maximum, only
270 calories of fat, or about 80
grams, is included in the 1900
calorie reducing diet.
You cannot go without sugars
and starches entirely-even on a
reducing diet-because that would
result in an incomplete burning
Of the fat. The small amount
needed, however, can be supplied
in fruits, vegetables, milk and a
small amount of bread and
potatoes. Concentrated sweets
are too high in calories for the
reducer, and it is better to stick
to this list. On the 1000 calorie
diet you can take about 700
calories-170 grams-in carbohy-
drateS.
Protein is not decreased in the
reducer's menu. In fact, a high
protein diet can be taken to ad-
vantage since, in addition to their
high safety value, protein foods
have the faculty of stepping up
the metaboliSm. On the 1900
calorie diet, 300 calories, or rs
grams, of protein should be used
daily. AS a minimum, one-tenth
Of your normal calories must be
supplied in protein, and this Is
not changed in reducing.
Aside from the calorie stand
point, it is advisable for the re-
ducer to restrict the use of con-
centrated sweets, because of their
tendency to stimulate thirst and
to hold fluids in the body tissues.
Salt, which also increases the
fluid retention and thus fnterferes
with weight loss, is under the
same restriction.

Household Hints
Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Three times in the past week parents have come to me in dis tress, over their growing boys. The age, interestingly enough. varies little, and is usually about fourteen or fifteen years. Why, these moth CTS ask, are their erstwhile boys SC grouchy and mean? Why have they suddenly become strangers to their families and turned sour on the world?
 As I believe this problem con- cerns thousands of mothers at this time, I repeat the word I have passed along to the few. Stop wor- rying. Let time work TOT you.
 One of the strapping youths re- ferred to, believe 1t or not, is six feet one and weighs 140 pounds. He is not yet fifteen. The others are also tall. Poor fellow, still children but expected to behave and think as adults. What a battle they have, too, besides all this. Their whole systems are changing and they are divided between two worlds: the childhood they cannot relinquish without a struggle, and the strange adult world ahead.
 System Out of Kilter
 However, there is more to 1t all than that. It concrens bones. Bones that grow while you watch, like cornstalks on a hot day in June never ask permission of the muscles And the muscles are lazier about lengthening themselves. The result is peculiar state of affairs, for wa have the muscles trying to reach the ends of Inc long bones ano stretching too tight to do it. Result nervous tension. Not pain, for grow ing pains are all out of style, and we never heard of them any more Tn fact, I wonder if nature does not administer in her mysterious way some kind of soporofic to these Weedy lads, to still any hurt that may result from her own mistakes such as making bones grow fast and then remembering that muscles have to catch up?
 The lad in such a fix has toe much to contend with. He is handi capped with a body that irks him He is expected to be mature anc sensible and to do hard jobs, wher all the time he is just the same little Harry or Bill who was play. ing marbles or flying a kite few months ago. He is torn with innei conflict, and at the same time SC sensitive that he is suspicious oi everybody. He wants to play witt, the kids but at the same time k ashamed, and pretends to a com. mon ground with older fellowsI He wants to sleep, and sleep and sleer some more. He eats enough fol three. He is not obliging because he finds escape, in general, the easiest "out."
 Needs Happy Home Life
 In short, he wants only two things, no three. Not to be fusseo over or talked out; to be let alone and try to find his way in his owr wilderness; and lots of loving. H. won't return caresses, because ht is ashamed. But he needs all thl love and patience at his parents command.

GIorWng Yourself
By AMcia Hart

There's not a bit of room in this falls fashion picture for thick waist. lines or bulging hips. One who wants to appear O1lrrtly and trtnly groomed, in clothes which really do something for her, must see that her dimensions are just right--Ilot al- most right.
 You know, of course. that dieting will make one lose weight, but there is no assurance that the pounds will come of in the overweight places. And what a tragedy for a hippy girl to lose five pounds, then to dis. cover that face and lnra loosopk-2 cover that face and arms look pos. itively scraw11y while dimensions oi hips and waistli:le remain the same Carefully planned exercise really is the only answer to such a problem.
 When 1t comes to cutting hand some figure in new clothes, we might take a tip from Sonia Henie, pretty skating stSr vho has become a popular screen star. Sonia has lost many pounds since she went to Hol- lywood and says all credit is due a few simple exercises which are not unlike the steps in Q skating routine. And activity has caused her weight to be perfectly distributed.
 You begin by assuming the cor- rect erect position-heels toyether, toes slightly out, arms at sides.
 Exercise for Thighs
 Then stretch both arms as far as possible to the right side, keeping body facing forward. At the same time, raise the left leg aS high aS possible-left knee rigid, right foot firmly planted on the floor. Quickly assume the erect position again. Re- verse and repeat.
 Now lean forward with arms out- stretched, meanwhile stretching the right leg backward until 1t IS nearly horizontal with the body. Then, using the body as far back as poS- sible to the left. Back to standing position. Reverse, outstretching left leg, then twisting body to the right.
 From standing position slowly raise right leg until knec is almost horizontal. At the same time raise arms and stretch them as high as possible toward the ceiling. Then bear forward-weight on left leg, snapping arms into position hori- zontal with t heshoulders, swinging right, fore leg up and back until 1t, too, is horizontal with thn body. Come back to stretching position, then to original erect onfie. Re- peat several times.
