THE REAL WORRY

"As matter of fact" says the
man who has made several good
sized fortunes, boil this thing
down, and your typical business
man is worrying more right now
about orders than he is about loans.
Unless a business has orders, a
loan might prove to be a serious
drag. Take a solvent business man
without any orders. Give him a
loan, put his people to work and
turn out goods. He will pile up the
goods on his shelves, and pay in
terest on the loans that produced
the goods. What's missing in this
picture is orders for goods.
Nov, take it the other way

" HE figures of the women whose
names grace our "best dressed"
lists boast trim hip-lines. To
achieve that born-to-the-clothes look
of smartness. hips must be disci-
plined. Overweight hips present the
most trying problem of the entire
figure to dress - but they are the
least difficult to correct, with exercise.
That few of US have svelte hips
without fighting the too. too solid
flesh, is what Artie McGovern, a
leading exercise expert in New York,
will tell you. He also points out that,
though diet will prevent superauous
fat from forming around the hips, it
will do little to reduce fat, once it is

There is no standard chart to die
tate how many inches hips should
measure. Yours may be as trim. 1.-the,
and symmetrical at 80 inches, if they
are in proportion to the rest of your
body, as the 32-inch hips of another
who has smaller bone structure. To be
we'll proportioned, your hips should
be a fraction narrower than your
shoulders and slightly wider than
your waist.
But you can have hips as 1.-THE as a
school boys from now until you are
sixty, if you will walk three miles in
three-quarters of an hour every day,
wearing fat-heel shoes, and keeping
your strides as long as possible. And
walk with your feet parallel. This
keeps the pelvic columns in closer
parallel line, and turns the hips in.
Walking with your feet at right angles
throws the hips out.
A substitute for brisk walking, may

Presse showed that he possessed
plenty of courage. although he must

keenly. His companion was the only

neither the lady nor her partner had
