BUILDING CODE
 AGAIN BEFORE
 CITY COUNCIL
Gross Penthouse and Mar shal's Rock Wall Head
 aches for Officials

Building, new and old, occupied the attention of the City Council at it's regular meeting last night in the City Hall.
 Attention of the Council was called by City Engineer Milton Lag ergren to the present construction of the new Gross Twentieth Century Theatre Building. charging that the city's building code was being vio- lated through the construction of a pent house on the top.
 While the original plans and spec ifications called for pent house, Mayor Harry I. Lucas explained, the petition to build the pent house was denied by the Building Inspec- tor and no approval has since been given. However, he said, work on that portion of the structure is now going on although the Building Inspector had orded it discon- tinued.
 Visit Building
 After discussing the building code and it's possible need of revision, the Council voted to visit the Gross building at 11:30 o'clock this fore noon. Members of the Council said this afternoon that the visit had been made but no action had been taken and probably would not be before Monday. A special meeting of the Council is called for Monday for opening of the sewer bids which are returnable by pm. Monday.

 Under the heading of old con- strlction. the Council had before it the question of the rock wall be- tween the Federal Jail and the property of Councilman Sam Eel don on Calhoun Avenue at Fourth Councilman Feldon has asked that the wall be removed City engineers declare the wall is in Fourth Street.
 Mayor Lucas said he had taken the matter up several months ago with U. s. Marshal William T. Ma honey and that the Marshal told him if he wanted the wall removed to go ahead and move it. A couple of days ago the Mayor hired D. B Femmer to start removing the wall About the same time the Mayor

LIBERAL OPINIONS

The composite opinion from sources important in both party or ganizations is:
 1.-The pace will be slow. The prospects of anti-New Deal Demo- crats being crowded out of the Democratic party by 1940 or even by 1944, are not great.
 2-The outlook for a great mass migration of liberals into one party and conservatives into another at any near future date is equally barren.

Snug>Fitting
Girdle for
The Stout
New Designs Take
Care of Hipline
Or Bustline.
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY,

The "short-heavies" are numer-
GUS and they have unique figure
problems which are constant trou-
BILE to them.
Over IS per cent Of American
women are under feet, S inches
in height, and as they mature and
grow into the late 40s and sos,
their figures seem to hold weight
stubbornly and the excess pounds
settle either at the hipline or the
buStline.
Consequently short woman,
slightly heavy in weight, Is con-
fronted with one of two problems
her hipline is too great proportion
ately to her bustline or her bust is
larger proportionately to her hipline.
The first type, whose hips are
large, usually has full diaphragm
to boot and her figure looks old long
before it should.
The second type, with the fuller
bust: has also the problem of being
short wasted, and she finds that the
ordinary run of sizes do absolutely
nothing to make her figure more
fashionable!
OF course diet and corrective exer-
cises are in order for the short
heavy" with cumbersome pounds.
And much could be done to make
her figure more beautiful But I
realize that many women of this
figure class of mature years cannot,
or will not, diet and exercise them
selves to more pleasing proportions,
and thus they must resort to the
proper ungergarment if they wish
to have pleasing lines.
So prevalent is this figure prob
lem Of the older woman that went
to one Of the leading corset man
ufacturers with this question: What
type of garment can these women
wear to give them much needed
snug-f1tting support and at the
same time correct figure problems?"
Designers, 1t seems, have been on
their toes, and for the short
heavy" corselettes in half sizes have
been styled with special attention
given to these two types of figures.
The larger hip" lady is moulded
into a half-size garment with q
nicely fitting bodice for her smaller
Dust. The heavy bust" lady is
given a built-up shoulder strap and
a full pocket bodice for comfort
and SHINING lines. Her slender
hips and short waist are also con-
sidered, so when she slips into her
dress she actually looks inches taller
and sleeker!
With such splendid garments on
the market at prices most women
can afford, there is no reason why a
"short-heavy" should vail, what
can I do?" My answer to you is
this: If you will not, or should not
because of doctors orders. diet and
exercise, then go posthaste to a good
corset department and be properly
fitted in one Of these newer half
size garments. There is no need for
you to suffer from ill-fitting corsets
or to look as If the great fashion
experts of our day had excluded
your figure type from their consid-

It Is curious how little intelligence
we use in dealing with the common,
ordinary, everyday problems that
confront us and that turn our lives
into cinders, ashes and dust. Before
the great tragedies of existence we
are helpless. We can but bear the
sorrows they bring us with what
fortitude we may, but it is not the
great griefs that drench the world
with woe. 1t is the little nagging,
picayunish things that are so hard
to endure, and these we could nearly
always abolish with 2 cents worth of
common sense II we only had gump-
ton enough to use it.
No two people with a mentality
above that of low-grade morons can
be married for even a single month
without acquiring a good working
knowledge of each others peculiari-
ties and prejudices and finding out
how to get along without friction.
But do they do this? Not at all.
They won't take the trouble to use
the slightest diplomacy in dealing
with each other.
They not only do not sidestep each
others prejudices and peculiarities.
They jump over them, and instead

ATimidChild
Suffers in
School
Tales of Terror
About Teacher
Add to Fear.
BY ANGELO PARTI.

Timid children are likely to suf-
fer greatly in school. They are
afraid Of things; they create breads
within themselves; they cling to
fears that other children know moth
ing about, and so stand in their own
way. Teachers are busy. Schedules
must be met. Supervisors know lit
tie about the individual children in
classes and expect the class standard
to be met and passed regardless.
The timid child has a bad time of
1t unless there is some one on hand
to help. This duty usually falls
to the classroom teacher.
When a child who is starting
school cries and clings to his mother
and insists that she stay with him,
the best thing to do, and we have
done it at least once every school
term, is to keep the child in the
room and send the mother home.
He will howl, maybe kick and fight
to get out. The teacher stays be-
tween him and the door and gently,
with kindness in her voice, tells him
he cannot go until the bell rings. If
1t is possible to have an extra
teacher in the room, that helps.
The regular teacher keeps between
the child and the door: encourages
him; points to the happy children,
who are smiling at this mistaken
child who is afraid of school.
The teacher keeps calling the
timid ones attention to the other
children, who are at work, either
under the leadership of the teacher
or a good monitor. She asks a
confident, assured child to help this
one, give him pencil and paper,
or his reader, or take his hand in
the march or the game. Usually
before the close of the first session
he is quiet Sometimes he is taking
part in the work. Always by the
end of the first week he is one of
the class. But, if his mother stays,
or waits for him in the hall, or
allows him to go home, he is through
for the term. We rarely win that
child back that term.
Some children are afraid to 60
outside the classroom. A helper
who is happy, well-adjusted child,
should be sent with the timid one
until he learns that there is nothing
to fear. And there should be moth
ing and nobody in a school to make
child afraid.
There are children who are afraid
of the teacher or the principal, or
any stranger that enters the school
building. The teacher cannot help
this condition at its source. The
child was set in that fear before he
got to school, but she can very soon
win that child's confidence and trust
so that his fear dies. So can the
principal. If a child Is afraid of
either of them, and continues to be
so, one might be justified in thinking
that it might be their fault.
Parents could help some by TAX
ing care not to frighten him or her
with the teacher and the principal
and the other officers of the educa-
tional body. Better teach the chill
dren that they are going to find
friends in these people. Better
strengthen the childs faith in their
goodness than frighten them with
tales OF terror. Gentleness, affec-
ton and understanding sympathy
with f1rmness, cure the school child's
fears.

anecdotes about personalities of the
past and the present make the
book doubly interesting and WORTH
while.
The chapters on fish and CANA
are unusually fine and may
American cooks can learn from
them the mysteries of European
methods Of preparation that for so
long have been beyond our ken.
Sauces, soups and salads are thor

famous dishes are explained in
meticulous detail that makes their
connection simple to understand.
For instance, was much interested
in Mr.. Rhodes directions for pre-.
pairing "Truite au Bleu" (blue
trout, the famous dish of France
and Russia. I had always been told
that the only way to get the little
fish in the firm semi-circle that is
demanded by your true gourmet,
was to thrust them alive into the
boiling calculated water. This. saws
Mr.. Rhode, is not necessary. Simply
clean the fish well, one hour before
serving, and draw a string through
the mouth and tail so that the fish

boiling vinegar for 80 seconds, and
then Immediately afterwards into
Ice water. Lay them aside for a.
little before proceeding to cook them
according to his directions. The

tention to this-she hasn't any such
pamphlets) The next difficulty en-
countered has to do with the
weather. If the feather craze con-
tinues a petition will have to be
drawn to the effect that no wind
must blow and no rain must fall.
Both are disastrous to the well-being
of said ornaments.
Another matter to be overcome
is the encouragement of gents who
are seized with maniacal desire
to trim down the quill to a size
where it can possibly do no harm.
A request for hunting permit and
a reminder that you can't duplicate
the feather usually does the trick.
The last and final handicap which
besets us is crowds. A hideous
example of this was recently seen in
a crowded elevator which contained
about Is women-five of them with
feathers-and an elevator boy. Re-
suit: All feathers perched at diff
ferent angle and all smacked the
remaining women in the face and
blinded the elevator boy completely.
1t caused mild hysteria.
Seriously, however, this feather
rage is causing quite commotion.
Various theories have been advanced
on ways and means to remedy the
situation, but to no avail. Feather
bedecked hats continue to blight the
horizon and endanger the general
public. And with it all Saleslady

matter of fact, there have been
some mighty strange happenings
around these parts ever since the
ladies decided that feathers were
the last word in style and every fe-
male in the vicinity boosted a quill
that might be classified as a dan
gerous weapon.
Such weird tales have been COM
ing into this department about the
danger of such ornaments! The lat
est one-told with fiendish glee-
concerned a football game recently
played in Baltimore. It seems that
a very charming young lady escorted
by two handsome lads was making
her way out of the Stadium-re-
splendent in a hat with not one, but
two obnoxious feathers. She turned
to the right, and bingo! 10 points
for goring the boy on that side. She
smiled at the chap on the left and
another score was marked up. FL
nally in desperation the escorts went
into a huddle-emerging with sus-
piciously innocent faces-and the
next thing the poor girl knew, her
gentlemen friends were strolling
along nonchalantly-each with a
feather in his hand. And each look
