Health and Hospital
Survey Is Available

Copies of the District of Colum-
bia Health and Hospital Survey"
a book of 400 pages, now is available
at the Government Printing Office,
1t was announced today by the
United States Public Health Service.
Contents were disclosed about a
year ago, when the survey was sub
mitted to the District Commission
ers, but the volume has just been
printed, "well-documented and boil
stored with an array of statistical
tables"
The suggestions made in the re-
port for improving efficiency of the
Health Department. said Dr. Robert
Olesen, assistant surgeon general,
who with scores Of collaborators, is
responsible for the survey" are pre-
sented in a friendly and helpful,
rather than a critical, manner"
1T is easy to criticize the proce-
dures of any governmental agency.
the survey pointed out. "A health
department, because of its nu-
merous and varied activities, makes
an especially inviting target. How
ever. it may be said, that. despite
certain shortcomings of which the
department is we'll aware, the Dis
trict Health Department is per-
forming a creditable and increas-
ingly effective piece Of public health
work, and has so performed this
work during the last few years"
Although aware that many Of its
recommendations depended upon
availability of funds and in some
instances, therefore were not sus-
ceptible, of early fulfillment. the
hope is expressed that "as funds
and trained personnel become avail
able, the recommendations of this
report will be adopted and utilized. !"

NEW YORK, March 3O.-The one.
time mighty underworld hand Of
swarthy little Johnny Torrio, the
Government charged today, reached
even into the United States De-
partment of Justice in an effort
to delay or thwart prosecution on
Federal income tax evasion charges.
Assistant United States Attorney
Seymour Klein told jury of five
women and seven men that it was
learned last November, after years
investigation, that Torrio had "a
secret, intimate and financial re-
lationship' with William H. Boyd,
chief of the compromise section of
the Justice Departments Criminal
Tax Division.
Mr.. Boyd, Mr.. Klein said. was
"one OF those to decide whether
'Iorrlo would be prosecuted. He
(Torrio) also had intimate relation
ship with and used as an interme-
diary the brother of this same De.
partment of Justice Official"
Mr.. Boyd committed suicide last
fall.
TOriO Listens Closely.

fendants on charges of conspiracy

chair as he listened to Mr.. Klein,
his hands opening and closing
spasmodically
After outlining the indictment.
Mr.. Klein said the Government
would be able to present only a
bit of each dish, instead of the whole
dish ITSELF" because of what he
termed Torrios ability to conceal,
falslfy and destroy records of his
various enterprises.
This "conniving," he said, would
"necessitate long proof to show what
the defendant did
Mr.. Klein said Torrios forte was
shady business" and he promised
to prove that Torrio was deep in
illicit liquor"
Dissatisfied With Foreman.
Earlier, Max Steuer, chief of de.
tense counsel. had indicated strong
dissatisfaction with the jury fore

modes are the excitingly new sill
houettes given to fashions through
a soft styling technique that makes
fullness its theme.
The versatile ways in which the
new fullneSs is manipulated i'm
presses one. In some instances
skirts are frankly full all around,
inspired no doubt by the dirndl vogue
that has been having a successful
run for some time. The all-around
pteated skirts will hold good among
foremost fashions not only for mid
season and spring. but their style
prestige will endure the whole sum
mer through. Impressed pleats is
also a favorite method with design
ers for acquiring desired tullnesS.
Then, too, there is the circular-cut
skirt that measures yards AROUND

especially in the very new petit
coat versions which are made to
reveal a swish of tafTeta or splash
of white that repeats the pique neck
wear which finishes of the blouse.
These petticoat dresses are provid
ing a big sensation on the new style
program.
For women who cannot stand for
more than a certain amount of full
ness. the new skirts that make par
ticular appeal show controller
treatment in that they are smooth
at the back and hips with fullness
brought to the front in gathered or
pleated panels. In both day and
evening clothes this idea is car
ried out.
This matter of soft styling and in
triguing fullness is by no means con.

HINT-OF-THE-DAY
Care of the Hair

Not all women can afford the lux
ury of having their hair done by a
professional every week. But with
little practice, you can do pro-
fessional job yourself.
Cleanliness of the hair is the first
requisite. This means good sham
poo at regular intervals. Then
choose a hairdress that you can han
die yourself. Stay away from any
thing elaborate or extreme. That
requires a really professional touch.
If you want curls, make them
few and substantial. The trick
combs that curl and comb at the
same time are a big help. For
grooming, the maker of one of these
combs has quick drying lacquer
that makes an excellent setting flu
id. The bottle has an atomizer, per
hitting you to spray the lacquer
where you want it.
This lacquer helps tremendously
with the new high hair-do. Spray
it on the stragglers at the back of
your neck and comb them fiat. Your
hair will stay in place for long
.ime.

whole thing. including blouse top

Health Essential
To Charm

A rule she teaches is: Watch
your health. Sleep. exercise and
drink water. Too many women in
this country are below par. Moth
ing reveals your character to people
more quickly than the expression
you carry. your voice and your state
of health.
IF you are physically below par
you may have nervous disorder
which should be taken care of, but
otherwise you should be able to keep
well by eating proper food at regu-
lar hours. getting eight. nine or ten
hours of sleep. and by exercising
in the fresh air and sunlight.
Don't always complain of being
tired and of things making you nerv-
Gus. If your health is good you are
not nervous. merely cranky. and
people soon discover it. If your
health is poor do something about
it."
Strong words, aren't they? And
here are some more well worth di-
costing and particularly suited to
the growing girl.
Don't count on being only beauti-
full. You can overestimate the ap-
peal of beautiful foot, tiny waist
or long lashes. Cultivate wit, hu-
NOR, tact, genuineness. Pay atten-
ton to your posture, carriage and
gesture. Develop gentleness of ges-
ture, a pleasing manner. Be yield
ing in your dealing with others, new
er dictatorial, never too aggressive.
And above all things be particular
about your personal appearance.
Dress neatly. appropriately. and
with an eye to the decorative. New
er. never be overdressed!
