This will be an autumn to strive for the new stretched look through the middle of the body.
 To wear falls newest fashions and wear them smartly, you must stand tall with chest high, stomach in, head carried proudly. Your hipline should be slender, thighs completely minus bulges.
 REDUCE THOSE
 BUMPY SPOTS
 In other words, you must begin doing spot-reducing exercises regu- larly. If you have no bulges, do a few limbering and stretching exer- cises anyway. The stretched look isn't possible if the figure is rigid.
 Bend and stretch when you get up in the morning. Walk bare footed around the room trying to touch the ceiling with your hands. Hold right arm high, left one at side, then bend to the left as far as possible, keeping head erect. Re- verse, holding left arm up, right down, then bending to the right Repeat ten or fifteen times.

QUININE PREVENTS DEAFNESS

Last autumn 8 general specialist, that is, a specialist is the eye, ear, nose, throat or whatever else you have in your head except brains, hit on swell idea for a paper, forth with prepared the paper and read 1t before. a medical association and unfortunately for the public or fortunately for the general special ist, as you prefer, the main theme of the paper received considerable publicity when it was passed along to the laity in release from one of the press service bureaus.
 It seemed that the general spe- cialist found some statistics which indicated that among 234 cases of nerve deafness and 832 cases of other forms of deafness more than four times as many of the former had taken quinine some time than of the latter. The specialist, natur- ally, did not mention how many of the patients with nerve deafness had never taken any quinine, for that would tend to impair the weight of his inference.
 And furthermore, if you are cas- fly convinced, some one found that the proportion of infants born deaf was greater than usual at the time of the influenza epidemic during the first World War and inferred that probably more expectant moth- CTS had taken quinine either as a prophylatic against flu infection or as remedy, and hence the deaf ness of the babies.
 Now it is not unreasonable to be- lieve that deafness or worse may happen to the unborn infant or to the expectant mother herself who makes the mistake of taking large doses of quinine for any purpose without the advice of her physician. Injury to the hearing is one of the usual effects of quinine poisoning. By the same token, deafness due to overdose of quinine is rarely if ever a permanent deafness. It clears up completely a few hours or days aft CT the quinine is stopped, in nearly every instance.
 If there was an increased amount Of deafness, congenital or acquired, during or following the 1918 flu epidemic, the more reasonable ex- planation would be that the flu it. self or complications of 1t involving the nose. throat and ears caused the deafness.
 In my own opinion quinine should be regarded rather as Q preventive of deafness. It deserves to be NO rec Garded because. in the opinion Of good physicians in alI parts Of the world, qulnine in small daily doses (one grain three times c day for adults once c day for young ehil- fF6nl hes real preventive value aeninst the flu or other respiratory Infection when such infection is 1<<x4'fni in the comauniiy and bee

Stock Averages
60-Stock Range Since 1927:
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, April 16.-Early
selling of aircrafts spread to other
departments in today's stock market
and, in late afternoon blast of Of
feringS, prices of leaders we're
knocked down to points.
Pressure was sufficient to put the
ticker tape in arrears for a while.
The pace then slowed and extreme
losses were reduced in most cases at
the close. In addition, there was a
handful of specialties that managed
to emerge with plus signs Trans
fers were around 100000 shares.
Reasons for the tumble varied.
One had to do with rumors on the
floor OF the exchange that Germany
was invading Rumania and success
fully consolidating her position in
Scandinavia. Proflt-taking in some
of the recently strong aviations was
thought to have prompted traders
to shelve commitments elsewhere.
1t was remarked, also that the mar
ket had been acting tired and ap-
parently was vulnerable. A little
liquidation from abroad, principally
Amsterdam, was reported.
The European war held virtually
all of Wall Streets attention. Those
who took look at business found
pleasing reading in the flow of first
quarter earnings statements.
New highs for 1910 or longer were
posted for number of issues before
the main retreat got under way.
Prominent in the slide were Doug

tin, Boeing, American Airlines, East.
