prescribed by physician reduced her
weight thirty pounds and shipped off
from five to six inches from her bust,
waist and hip measurements. Correc-
tive posture work took the sag out of
her chin-line and the sway out of her
back, raised her bust. heightened her
neck and increased her height. Walk
ing in front of mirrors - and even
going up and down stairs - with
block on the crown of her head, taught
her poise and balance.
If your posture needs improving,
as this woman's did. stand with your
back to a wall, feet four inches apart,
and make each vertebra hug the wall.
Then walk out from the wall in that
position, with the dictionary on your
head to improve balance. That is the
schools method.
If a sluggish circulation is your
problem, these experts instruct you to
tilt your head foot lower than your
feet for fifteen minutes day, to send
a healthy flow of blood to your face.
This not only helps to clear up
sallow skin and improve the contours
of the face and neck, but aids in
reducing hips and legs.
Coarse skins are a frequent problem
at the school. But to refine skin tex
ture, you can use granular prepara
ton which fakes off the outer layer.
You mix tablespoon of these grains
with a few drops of warm water to
make paste. Spread over your face.
leave it on to dry. and wash off with
cool water or skin freshener.
Another thing women learn at the
school is to choose the proper shade
of rouge. Purplish rouge, for instance,
which is f1attering to fresh young
faces, adds years to middle-aged ones
Evening star., 1939-04-02

For these, red shades with less blue in
them are better choice. A very small
amount of purple eyeshadow, however,
over gray or brown shadow, will
prevent ''smudged" effect and i'm
part subtle flattery. A slight blue tint
in your powder is effective in brighten
ing your skin and adding a faint
quality of transparency. Apply your
cheek rouge high and wide for a
youthful effect.

This is an answer to "The
Other Side" by Neal Boykin
requesting both viewpoints on
the German-Jewish question.
There are Germans in every
country of the world. They
never have been prosecuted for
their race or religion at any
time. They honored the form
of government of their adopted
country. So did people of other
European countries. No Ameri-
can expects new people to throw
mud at their parents in the old
country.
Jews claim that they have
been prosecuted ever since his
tory records. Germany told
them for a thousand years
Go back to Palestine" So did
all the other countries.
Jews seem to possess self
praise. Jews do this, Jews do
that; all you read in the papers.
Self-praise smells. THAI is what
many Americans believe.
Bombarding German-Ameri-
can will make them vote 100
per cent Republican next time.
Therefore. Jew. become an

noticed a peculiar sort of hurt
look in the eyes of Kenneth, a
lad going on 8 years and a
nephew of the house. He had

uncle and aunt since the death
Of his mother almost a year
ago. And as I looked at him a
sort of memory chord struck in
my mind - back to days of
treasure trove in the depths of
armchairs when myself was a
boy.
1t so happened, an hour or
so later, that I went out to the

1t must be noted, however,
this modern embryonic edition
Of Patrick Henry is 43 years
old, or eligible World War age.
The postwar era finds him
proudly hoasting of being COM
missloned in the U. S. Army's

Of Manhattan's newsboy.
From the veterans angle this
whole setup appears cockeyed.
Members of the American Le-
gion have been preaching the
same doctrines he now essays
for long years, but most of their
attempts TO sell the nation an
Americanization program have
met with rebuffs by those who
denounce these same veterans
as being mere flag wavers."
If Mr.. Winchell is conscien.
tious in his attempts to spread 9
more convincing program deal
ing with the cherished ideals Of
the founding fathers of the Con-

Answering that Voice letter
urging that working hours be
shortened again, I as a plumb
er's wife say positively no. An
eight-hour day, with Saturdays
and Sundays off, is a satisfac-
tory day for workers and bosses
alike. A six-hour day isn't fair
to the bosses, and it also gives
too much spare time to the
workers, so that some of them
are less fit for work the next
morning. For better times, I
suggest longer hours and fair
reductions in wages as living
costs go down.

Here was a lad who took no
chances natural born chair.
hunter who would never be
nlpped himself.
Il clear them out every morn
ing after there's company" he
told me with a grin.
How about your uncle?" I
asked. Good shooting there?"
mo-" answered Kenneth. He
knows all about it. When he sits
in those chairs he puts his
change in one of the pockets of
his coat. Besides if he did leave
any I would give it back to
him"
Good boyI" I applauded.
Hardly be cricket, would it?
Once you get unfair ideas in
matters of sport VOL re done for -
Yes" he agreed-and then as
a sort of afterthought-"you
know I hardly expected you to
leak"
"Leak?" I asked-astonished
at this new sports term.
"Yep. You see you're big and
MOT fat" I interrupted hur-
riedly, "at least not very
fat. Mostly chest and muscle"
We'll, whatever it is" Ken
meth went on, IT didn't look for
you to leak. You're big and
well, anyhow, you're big and I've
noticed big men don't leak
money in those chairs. They
sink down and their trousers
get kind of tight and that holds
the stuff in. Now little men or
skinny men, that's different.
They're nearly always good for
something"
I nodded in silent agreement,
for I was kind of 4loundered at
the progress made in the sport,
from a technical point of view,
as compared with the days when
I was an easy-chairback hunter.
