A SHORT time ago we told
- you of new reducing lotion
that is really satisfactory, and
since then many of our readers
have used it with great success,
and at this time we will print
one of the letters we received,
just to encourage you.
Dear Donna Grace:
I want to tell you the reduc-
ing lotion you sent me has done
wonders. 1 was about frantic
for something to wear and still
I had two good expensive suits
that I bought last fall, but
couldn't get into them. I was
more like AZ than 36, so l had
to do something quick.
I started on a diet and was
losing, but still: my hips were not
going down fast enough. Then
I decided to try your lotion and
it sure did the work. I can wear
everything I have and it looks
as if I will soon have to have
all my things taken in, and be-
lieve me, Donna Grace, it will
be a pleasure. I was so dis
couraged 1 never thought 1
could get my figure back. I
am going to keep it up for a
while longer and it will be the
happiest day of my life when
I will be a slender figure again.
MRS. S. G.
Dear Mrs. S. g.:
Thank you for telling us of
your success with the lotion and
I am sure you will soon be back

to your nice slender lines again.
There are a number of women
who use enveloping rubber robes
in their reducing, and we believe,
according to the directions, they
first take a hot bath, then put
on the heavy rubber robe and
cover up with a number of
blankets to induce perspiration.
Forty minutes is the time one is
supposed to keep under cover.
This may be quite satisfactory
too, but there is another way in
which this may be done that
seems to us more practical for
home use.
We would run the tub for a
very hot bath. Then, with the
rubber robe on, remain sub
merged from IS to 20 minutes.
This will induce perspiration
quickly, and with the great ad-
vantage of confining the whole
operation to the bath, rather
than the bed. When you emerge
from the tub, rub the skin with
the reducing lotion and then go
to bed.
If you prefer to perSpire in
bed under the blankets. then
you should have a rubber sheet
to protect the mattress and
blankets, provided you must
sleep in the same bed.

Representative disclosed. Every men,
Der was enthusiastic about it, he said.
He anticipates favorable report from
the full committee next week.
His first step toward solution Of
high cost and delay that have OBJ
structed justice in courts of the United
States for generations was the intro
duction Of bill two years ago to
equip Federal courts with moving pic
ture and sound equipment. This, how
ever. was found to be too expensive.
Mr.. Hobbs appealed for help to the
American Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
which assigned to the task research
men and engineers at the Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories in New York City.

day, is very narrow steel tape, only

It will speed the processes Of Justice
about 80 per cent" His new bill
House Bill No. 9581-proWdes sound
equipment at Government expense
for all Federal courtrooms. It Is logi-
cal to believe, Judge Hobbs pointed
out, that State and County courts
would follow suit, thus improving JUS
tice in all tribunals.
He is especially impressed with the
fact the recorder will reveal infections
of the voice. Il recall many cases in
which judges have delivered some
what prejudicial charges to juries, "
he said, but the prejudice came only
in the rising and falling infections
of their voices. The printed record
never reveals this. Now, when this
tape Is run off before the court OF
Evening star., 1938-02-27

appeals, the reviewing Justices will
get it all, and will be better able to
do justice"
Judge Hobbs then turned to the
novel aspects Of his plan.
Before the Judge, jury, prosecutor,
plaintiff and defense counsel and the
witness stand there will be tiny
r1crophones, all connected with the
recording apparatus.
And here's where new gadget
comes in. Judge Hobbs calls it a
"rosette" microphone. 1t can be
pinned to the lapel of the coat, with
strand Of wire attached and plugged
into table or jury box connection,
which in turn is connected with the
sound equipment. This will receive

face is turned the other way, accord

The day Of the m4crophone in every

sentative Hobbs predicted yesterday.
Not one microphone, but many will
convey to the sound machine the testi-
mony of witnesses. the arguments OF
opposing counsel. motions and objec-
tions, rulings and remarks and charges

tape rolls steadily onward, recording
while court proceedings progress, and
1t records not only the spoken word,

Judge Hobbs rewrote his original bill
at the subcommittee request.

Hobbs said lawyers could select parts

closed, the tape could be "demagnet-

why we can't have spas in the

had them long ago.

Steamboat Springs have never
been developed as they should
be. They are patronized locally
and their curative values have
been known since the days Of
Comstock. But though they are
only a short distance from Reno
and within a few hours run Of
Los Angeles. few people out
side of the State ever go there
for treatment. We have geysers

they have in Yellowstone Park.
There are small pools in each

by 100 feet for bathing. The
results are remarkable"
