Litigation over property in the estate of the late Della Carroll of Naugatuck will be heard by state referee instead of by regular judge of superior court. That agreement was reached today by counsel.

The plaintiff seeks damages of $15,- poo, an accounting of the distribu- ton of the estate, and $25 weekly fro mthe estate for the rest of his life. After the state referee hears the case he will make his report and perhaps recommendations to a regular judge of superior court, for final disposition.
 Attorney Perry Graicerstein ap- pears for the plaintiff, while Attor- ney Joseph E. Talbot appears for the defendants.

Advice

LovelOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
The girl I've been going with
for the past two months, has an
other boy friend with whom
she's gone for two years. She
liked him a lot and then discov-
cred he was going round with
other girls, even breaking dates
with her to go with them.
The last time she went out
with him. she noticed he had
been drinking, and his condition
grew worse as the evening wore
on. She insisted on his taking
her home. Later he telephoned
from a tavern, and said he was
going out to party. The girl
cried when she told me about it,
and said she couldn't break up
with him for fear of running his
life.
I tried to explain to her It
would be better to ruin his life
than her own. What would you
advise? JUST SOMEONE.
That young lady doesn't sound
very sensible to me. And as you
see, I haven't space to print all
her crying spells over a young
man who breaks dates, tells lies
and takes her out when he's in
toxicated. She should drop him
like the proverbial hot-stove lift
er. And before involving yourself
further in the life of this soft
hearted young lady, wouldn't it
be better to wait till she acquires
that worldly wisdom known as
horse sense?

DE slender! we are told. 1t has
- been the fashion verdict for
q number of years, and we hear
at the beginning and end OF
every season, The figure must
be pencil line now to conform
with the styles" The average
modern girl does keep her slim
lines even though it means con-
slant calorie counting and lots
of exercise, and most Of them
are better for some curbing OF
appetite. But, with the chubby
young girl in her teens, it is not
always advisable to reduce by
restricted dieting.
CONSULT PHYSICIANS
We are going to quote from an
article by DR.. Josephine H. Ken
yon, in the January Good House
keeping magazine. on the sub
iect of "Tubby Teens" DR..
Kenyon advises everyone, espe-
cially the teen age to consult A
physician before going on any
diet. as the overweight may be

ment of overweight more than
the teens but it is dangerous
for them to pick and choose
their food, or to eat laviShly at
one meal and starve at the next.
Inadequate food lowers the re-
sistance and invites tubercu-
losis, constipation and skin
eruptions.
PREVENTS GAINING
The usual loss of weight
should be not more than from
a half to one pound a week, and
the diet maintained until the
goal is reached. When she
grows taller, the young girl will
always have a more normal
weight distribution, and in the
meantime, any exercise that
brings into play all of the
muscles, should be a part of the
daily routine of all healthy
young persons, and in itself will
help prevent overweight.
A typical days meal for an
overweight girl:
On rising-Drink one or two
glasses of water.
Breakfast-One or two fruits,
eggs, or small portion of cereal
(no sugar., one glass Of skim
med milk, one thin slice of toast
If no cereal is eaten.
Luncheon-Liberal serving of
