Ten Tips on
Reducing
Offered
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IF YOU are not too overweight to
start with you no longer need to
diet for the screen. Merely maintain
the correct proportions In other
words. keep your weight but shift it
SO that your hips are inches SLIM
mer than your shoulders.
Incidentally. Mary Carlisle, film
star. with "a bust, "a waist and 80
hips. has been called the perfect film
figure for a girl Of average height.
She says she knows from the exper-
ience OF friends that many girls lose
their chances in films because they
are as wide in the hips as they are in
the bust or shoulders.
Still, too many girls have lost their
health and their lives by too strenuous
reducing" Miss Carlisle adds. That is
why she prescribes exercise and mas
sage for the inches less around the
hips than around shoulders or bust.
She contends that Photographic tests
we have made prove that girls can be
a healthy weight and still look sylph-
like providing they maintain the men
toned proportions. And the critical
eye Of the camera sees all and tells
all
Her news is not kind to sedentary
souls, I'm sure. Their hips have q
way OF spreading merely from sitting.
Her advice to them is to get up as
often as possible, move about, run
your own errands instead of asking
others to do them for you, pick up
your own papers instead of waiting
for the office boy to do the stopping.
And when you are not obliged to sit
at your desk or work make it q point
to exercise the hips like anything"
If you are accustomed to riding a
mile or two each morning to busi-
ness. walk. If it is longer ride, park
your automobile and walk part Of the
distance at least once In a while.
And when you do walk don't saunter,
make 1t brisk pace, swing your
arms, breathe deeply.
Don't eat between meals. Swim
every time you see enough water to
hold you up (providing there's no
ice on it,. In the winter ski and
participate in outdoor sports. Don't
eat more when you are week ending
in the out-of-doors than you do or
dinarily. Lie down or 10 minutes
before meals if you are tired, but
never sleep Immediately after eating.
And NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.!

how many people there will be to seat
but We have sent out 300 invitations. in
case that will give you a figure To

though four might be enough II the
aisles are not over long.
DEAR MRS. POST: Is there anv
impropriety in being married on
national holiday? And is there any
real reason why 1t would not be ali

all our friends and relatives. and
then having a breakfast afterward
Tor Just the immediate families and

OF our friends to be able to be at the

About the Dangers in Life.

member that your tastes and your
emotions haven't had time to jell vet
and that the things and the people
you are crazy about one day you
wouldn't have on bet the next.
Then would say to my sweet le:
Hold yourself dear. Don't make your
self cheap. Realize that every man Is
going to take you at your own val
uation and treat you accordingly. II
you have dignity and self-respect. in
dependence and reverence for your
own body. men will not tell you
dirty stories or make improper pro-
posals to you. They will put on their
best manners as we'll as their best
clothes when they come to take you
out, and you will be the kind Of girl
that the men who are worth mar
rying want as 4 wife. But If you
are .rif1-raff yourself you will attract
the riff-rsf1 boys, who will. think you
good enough for blind dates and
cheap shows, and who will treat you
with the contempt you have earned.
And, finally, my dear, I would say
to my 16-year-old: Go slow on the
petting. Don't make your lips a free
lunch counter for every Tom, Dick
and Harry who takes you out to the
movies. Maybe there is no harm in a
casual goodnight kiss, particularly
If it has been iced down with Gus
tom until it has no more thrill in 1t
than handshake, but all the same
kissing Is a dangerous pastime for girls
You can get just as drunk on kiss
ing as you can on cocktails and be
just as irresponsible for your con-
duct. Put parked automobiles on your
taboo list and avoid wild parties, for
they set girls feet on the road that
leads to destruction. These are some
of the things would say to l6-year-
old girl, and maybe she would listen
but probably she wouldn't.

MOTHER asks: How should I


~ talk to q 16-year-old daugh-
~ ter? What counsel shall l give
a her? How can teach a pleas
ure-loving, high-spirited girl, who is
utterly ignertant of life, yet who
thinks she knows all the answers, to
avoid the temptations and dangers
that lie all about her?
Well. am sadly afraid that If q
mother has waited until her daughter
is Is years old before she has had any
heart-to-heart talks with her, that
what she says won't register much
with the girl. She is Is years too
late with her instructive conversation.
The time to began preparing a girl
for life is in the cradle.
1t is the modesty, 1t is q love of
decency, it is the refinement that is
repulsed by grossness; it is the self
control, it is the rock-bottom princi-
Piles that nothing can shake which
a girl learns at her mothers knee
that enables her to walk safely
through the pitfalls of the world. In
our moments Of temptation we don
split hairs over an ethical problem.
We instinctively act according to
the code in which we have been
brought up.
The thing that too many mothers
fail to realize is that in these times
of emancipated youth every girl has
to be her own chaperon. Her mother
cannot follow her into the places of
business in which she works, or pro-
tect her against the men she meets.
She must be taught how to defend
herself, for she will stand or fall ac-
cording to the wisdom and strength
that is In her.
so, THEN, think that If had a
~ 16-year-old daughter to deal with
I would begin by lighting few red
lanterns of warning at the hairpin
turns Of life where the young are
likely to skid and 60 over the brink.
1 shouldn't indulge in any maudlin
sentimentality about not brushing the
dew from the rosebud and keeping q
young girl from knowing any of the
sordid facts of life so that she would
retain her innocent, childlike belief in
fairy stories.
On the contrary, 1 would tell her
all that is to be told. I'd make her
read the scandals in the daily papers
SO she would know what happened to
girls who let handsome young men in
fine cars pick them up for joyrides;
or who let their married bosses tell
them how their wives misunderstood
them; or who let some boy persuade
them into setting up love nest with
him. I would know that ignorance
isn't innocence, and that the surest
way to make q girl watch her step
is for her to know where the danger
spots lie.
Then I think would say to my 16-
year r-old girl: Take 1t easy, daughter
Don't be in too much of hurry to
swallow life down at one gulp. You
probably have 40 or so years more to
live Save something OF interest and
enjoyment to spread over them.
\
ENJOY yourself but don't overdo it.
Have plenty OF fun but don't
wreck your health by dancing all night
when you have to work all day and
going without lunch to buy finery for

Most overnight parties are week -end
parties. They begin sometime Satur-
day and end Sunday night or Monday

WHEN you're visiting some one for

difficult to know when to leave. Often
it's wise idea to decide upon q de-

.qu,oMe
BY MARY ALLEN HOOD.

THERE are two sides to this tick
business. Both of them run
along the same lineso of thought
danger to human beings and
danger to dogs and cats, etc. The only
clever achievement of a tick Is its
ability to swell up so many times its
size without popping.
That's the part which makes 1t q
menace. Mama Tick must have the
blood OF some animal before she can
lay her eggs. She swells up like baby
blimp, and (if nothing has happened
in the process to upset her peace OF
mind leaves her eggs on brush. Lit
tie Tick, junior. is Matched, grows up
with no nourishment or knowledge of
family life and finally lies in wait on
some likely leaf for a warm-b -blooded
creature to pass by. How he can tell
the difference is unknown. He must
have blood to eat, so, at the first op-
portunity, he swings aboard. And SO
1t goes.
Ticks. even barring the danger of
infection. can suck the life out of an
animal. A pup with q horde of ticks
as house guests is SO weakened by loss
of blood that he is in danger of death.
Ticks must be removed. and that's an
other place where trouble comes in.
The insidious little insect may carry
disease. Figures somewhat roughly put
it that out of $4,000 ticks residing in
an infected area are sick. They're the
ones who spread the infection. That s
not so bad for an average, unless one
happens to pick of the wrong tick!
In de-ticking the hound. or any one
else, use tweezers. 1t seems that there
are several diseases having an inclina-
tion to 60 through the skin, just wait

for feuds, grudges, mads and petty
rivalries. You're all one big happy
family during the party.

living room little before 6-even

Many guests at remote county and

In order. If your hostess doesn't ex-
pect you to. your doing so will be 4
pleasant surprise for her.
When you're q visitor in a private
home, you are expected to amuse
yourself during the mornings. Walk,
read, or write letters. If you are in

you can make your own bed and try

Dress Child
In Clothes
That Fit U.s.
Otherwise a Baby
Will Be Fretful
And Restless.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

IN CLOTHING the baby the first
thing to bear in mind is comfort.
He must be warm without being over
heated. He must be cool without being
chilled. A good thermometer is
necessary piece of equipment. 1t will
help you keep the baby's room at all
even temperature. You will not have
to keep watching to see that he is COM
Portable. You will know by looking at
the thermometer. 1t has been found
that cool temperature, about 68, is
right for most children. An overheated
room is not as good as a cool one.
Before taking the baby out look at
the outdoor thermometer. Then dress
the child accordingly. 1t is better to
go by the thermometer than by your
guess. Avoid windy. dusty days. Avoid
wet, rainy days. When the weather is
fine daily airing for the baby. who
is we'll clothed, is helpful. 1t gives him
a better appetite, lovelier color and
sounder sleep
Dress the child with the idea of al
lowing gentle, easy circulation of air
about the body. Materials that shut
out the air are not good. A baby'S
skin must breathe. Heavy clothing
(weigho is not necessarily warmth
Often light wool coat is much warm
er than heavy coat of other material.
Don't pile on clothing. Select the right
kind, the proper cut and fit, and you
won't have to.
The fit of clothes is important.
Wrinkles and pleats hurt the baby'S
tender skin. Seams that draw and
pull are irritating and make the baby
restless and fretful. Garments that
are too tight are bad, because they
stop the circulation Of the blood and
restrain the free movements of the
body. The baby must feel free to
kick and tumble about. He needs
these developing exercises. needs them
to promote growth, self-control and
general intelligence.
Clothes ought to be as pretty as pos
sible and still be simple and easy to
wash. Their color should be attractive.
Yes, the baby should like his clothes.
The little one likes to be well dressed
He likes the feeling of comfort and
Nell-DclIS. ne likes Tie praise dIlu
the admiration that pretty things
bring to him. All this helps to give
the child confidence and poise. And
anything that does that contributes to
sound mental health.
Remember, a baby is well dressed
when he is dressed to fit the occasion.
Play suits can be pretty and at the
same time sturdy and durable.
Overalls are fine for play. They al
low the greatest freedom of movement
and protection. They are washable
and they can be had in attractive pat
terms. DresS-up clothes should be
worn only on dress occasions.
Do not forget the care of the child'S
feet. Stockings should fit without
wrinkles or bumps Blisters are bad,
and stockings that don't fit raise
blister in no time. Be sure the feet
and the stockings are clean. Watch
the toenails to see that they are grow

make child's life miserable See that
they fit just right. Don't buy them
big enough for next year. They must
fit today.

HARTFORD C.OF c. BACKS BASEBALL |PROPO SETON
Business Men Invite BOS= ton Club to Transfer
 Scranton Franchise

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 21.-(UP).- The Hartford Chamber of Commerce today invited the management of the Boston Bees baseball club to transfer its Scranton, Pa., New York-Penn league franchise to this city.
 Other organizations in Metropoli- tan Hartford were expected to file similar invitations with President Bob Quinn of the Boston National League team.
 E. N. Allen, president of the local chamber, wrote Quinn:
 we would appreciate very much your coming to Hartford in the near future mad we will arrange to have you meet a group of our representa- tive business men.
 Hartford was one of the original National League cities. Organized baseball has been in cintiued ex- istence since that time (1876) with the exception of three years, Hart ford has had a reputation all these years of being good baseball town It is considered one of the best base ball cities in the East.
 "No city throughout the country has withstood the depression like Hartford"
 Allen said the Metropolitan Hart ford area provided population of 500,000
 Quinn, for several months, has been reported contemplating trans fer to some other city of his Scran- ton franchise.
