APANELLED FROCK
FOR A SMALL GIRL

She'll look fresh and pretty as
the bouquet she's shifting in this
adorable little frock designed by
Claire Tilden. It's such an ideal
style for active young busy-bodies
that wise mothers will use Pattern
892 to sew up several frocks in vari-
Gus gay fabrics. The whole dress is
made of decorative panels-rows OF
them all around. II you have chos-
en- a striped material make the CEN
ter and side panels on a smart cross
grain. See how the rounded tops OF
the panels form a scalloped edge to
the all-around shoulder yoke. The
short sleeves are also scalloped,
though you might rather use long
sleeves with tight wristbands Leave
the neck simple and childishly
round-or make trim little collar
of fresh white on a dark frock. And
don't fail to use the Sewing Guide
to help you stitch up this dress in
record time.
Pattern 892 is cut in children's
sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. Size 6, short

sTEFANssoN's MEAT DIET

STEFANSSON'S MEAT DIET
Reader sends newspaper item
which says Vilhjalmur Stefansson,
the explorer, lived for year on
meat alone, under observation Of
scientific observers, with excellent
results. The reader opines that
there may be something fishy
about 1t and asks whether the meat
packers did not subsidize the test.
The original report Of the clini-
cal and laboratory studies Of the
two Arctic explorers, Stefansson
and Andersen In the course Of the
year during which they both lived,
In New York City, on an exclusive
meat diet, appeared In the Jour.
ANA, July 6, 1929, and bore this
explanatory note:
This work was done under the
direction of o committee Of scien-
lists under the Craftsmanship Of
DR.. Raymond Pearl Of Johns Hop
kins University, from contributions
made by the American Institute Of
Meat Packers"
AS I have said here repeatedly,
one must scrutinize any new de-
velopment in science carefully,
these days and Judge for oneself
how much the research investigator
may have been influenced by the
desires or expectations Of the In
terest that pays for the work.
Still, If no one offered to pay for
such scientific studies, In the form
of grants, foundations" or ire
search scholarships" - subsidies
In plain words - our progress In
science would suffer q sad cessation
Even If the meat packers paid
for the laboratory and other tests
made on the two Arctic explorers
throughout the long year Of the
experiment, see no shadow oil
reason for rejecting the evidence
obtained from the experiment. In
fact, 1t was the first, and so far as
I know, the only scientifically con-
trolled investigation of the kind We
have had.
The results of the experiment
which I believe we can accept a.
positively and finally settling thu
question Of the effects Of mea
diet, may be summed up briefly a!
follows.
l. The two men, having lived ex'
clusively on meat for II months o.
more, felt no untoward effects
maintained their weight and fin
ished, the experiment in excellen
health.
2. Careful analyses made through
out the duration of the experiment
gave no indication of any harm {,

Clarifying
Yourself
By Alicia Hars
NEA Service stan writer

NEA service Stau WElteE
The new hustle silhouette Is pretty
exciting-bu It certainly is not for
a girl whose posture isn't absolutely
perfect. The corset waistline Is some
thing to shout about, too-but not
by one whose stomach protrudes
even slightly.
The list Of new fashions with COM
rnents as to their suitability for
various types of women can go on
indefinitely, of course. After that,
only one conclusion can be drawn.
It's this-certain styles no matter
how charming, are not f1attering
to all figures. It's smart girl who
knows better than to try to wear
something which, quite obviously
was not created with her kind OF
figure in mind.
Furthermore, It's mistake to buy
a dress with the thought that you'll
lose q little weight or correct some
other defect so that you will look
nicer in 1t. 1t should be utterly
becoming when you buy 1t. II you
do lose the weight, you can have
the dress altered. If not, youll have
a wearable frock and not something
hanging in the closet getting older
and older as you put of reducing
routines.
WATCH THAT
HEMLINE!
Remember that there is the right
skirt length for every figure. Skirts
are from Is to II inches from the
floor, depending on the shape OF the
legs. However, unless your legs are
exceptionally well-formed, beware OF
the 17-inch length skirt.
If your waistline isn't slender as
a reed, 60 in for dieting and exer-
else routines to slenderize 1t or else
don't try to squeeze into a frock
with corseted waistline. The corset
ed silhouette, pride of the Main
bocher collection though 1t may
! be, Just isn't for anyone who Is
even slightly thick through the mid
riff.
Study each important silhouette
carefully before you buy. Don't get
dress because "they are wearing
It," Buy 1t only because 1t Is utter
ly becoming to you.

freshened so that 1t may be made
into salt or vinegar pickles.
@. Is it necessarw to use only
one period furniture in a living
room?
A. No. Many combinations can
be made that are harmonious and
pleasing. 1t Is not possible, however,
to create harmony by combing the
heavier styles such as the pre-
Georgian English, the Italian and
French Renaissance and the Span
ish with the more delicately design
ed Sheraton, Hepplewhite, Duncan
Phyfe and Colonial periods. Neither
does the glided or painted furniture
of the Louis XVI period, or the ele-
borate carved copies of the Floren-
tine and Venetian styles, mingle
tremendously with less ornate types.

IF you want to make 1t cover
fraternity expenses-even though
that might mean that you have to

If it is put that way, boy or
girl can get down to some business
like figuring and work 1t out for
himself.
If he is very ill-at-ease socially
or if he has always preferred older
people to being around those his

chances are a sorority is exactly
what she needs to get her started
1t will see that she gets dates al

and it will sponsor dances and other
parties to which she will have to
go. Besides that, her sorority sisters
will be blunt in making her over Sc

No sorority can afford to have duds
on its hands.
However, If a boy or girl Is q

to speak up. joining fraternity isn't
nearly so important. 1t may not be
important at all.
