WHAT DID I TELL YOU?

Every summer at the height of the vacation season a flock of impurities from readers turn up, most of them from individuals who want to lose a trifle of twenty or thirty pounds of stacker flesh any time between now and Sunday afternoon-no hurry about 1t, take our time, but be sure to attend to the matter when we get around to it. Perhaps ten percent of these vacation time requests come from individuals who are on the skinny side and while they are pack ing for the trip to the country it oc- CUTS to them that it might brighten the attractions of the resort if they put on say ten or fifteen pounds flesh while waiting for the train, so to speak.
 These are commendable aspira- tions, my dear children, and if it were possible to work the miracles by means of a pleasant letter or an encouraging pat on the back OF Doc Brady would even be late for the first game of bowls of an afternoon in order to comply with your request. But life is real, life is earnest. and again I say that ideally the time to reduce is generally five years before you have to "go on a diet". In other words, it is a great deal easier and more satisfactory in every respect to keep ten per cent superfous flesh of than take it of after you have toted it around for some time.
 Mind, do not bar such requests Indeed I answer them as propmtly as possible regardless of conse- quences. But just between ourselves I hope you will understand clearly that any regimen or any change in your way of living that you may adopt now, at my suggestion, will bring the implied result, if at all, only after some months of applica- ton. Certainly have never given you the slightest hint that can im- part magic secret method of "slen- derizing" while you sleep. Life is real, life is earnest. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
 Ditto to the skinnies. Frankly, though, the skinny ones are more reasonable or sensible about it, as a rule. They are delighted and grate- full if they can put on a bare five or ten pounds weight or, more to the point, an inch or two or circumfer- ence. They are happy to achieve this in the course of several months of endeavor. Whereas your average overnourished underworked individ- ual training for obesity scarcely bothers to report loss of only five or ten pounds or mere inch or two in girth.

ious, gives distinction to summer evening wraps and adds personality to fabric handbags.
 The outline of the pattern you wish to follow should be stamped or traced on a piece of muslin. This is carefully pinned and pasted to the wrong side of your fabric, stamp side up. The design is then outlined with two rows of machine stitching about one-fourth inch apart. Then with a bodkin or long upholstery needle. strands of wool are run through the casing between the muslin and outside fabric to form the quilted design. To turn the corners or start a new design, the bodkin may be brought out of the muslin and inserted again, wherever desired. If parts of the pattern are heavier, cotton is worked into the space between muslin and fabric.

Soil thrives on molasses just like children. A scientist at Allhabad University in India has discovered that the addition of molasses and other by-products of sugar to the soil will decrease its alkalinity and increase size of crops.
 Suitability of any bit of soil for a particular type of plant can now be quickly determined. An alkacid soil tester now on the market de- termines whether the soil is sweet, medium or sour.
 Paprika seed may soon become an important U. s. crop. Imported from Europe. the seed has been planted on several hundred farms in Louisiana. If experiment is suc- cessful, southern farmers may grow much of 6.000.000 pounds of paprika usually imported each year.

SHOULDERS SQUARE; NOT FORCED BACK

If your stomach protrudes, al- though you are quite slender other wise, chances are that your posture is faulty. How about learning to stand properly with backbone in as straight line as possible with stom- ach in and hips carried slightly for ward? If there is an exaggerated hollow in the center of your spinal column, your figure is bound to bulge in front and behind.
 Shoulders should be square but not forced backward so far that the rest of your body is thrown out of line. Learn to breathe deep- ly. Otherwise, your chest will look hollow.
 Having corrected your posture get to work with limbering and bending exercises which will give your waistline a graceful, youthful stretched" look.
 Take off your shoes and walk back and forth across your room, trying to touch the ceiling with f1ngertips. Stand erect, then slow ly lean to the right, trying to touch your right ankle with right hand. Reverse, slowly bending to the left as far as possible. Repeat twenty times.

This is the fifth of a series of six bridge tables stories.

Here is a hand that created a sensation in Boston a number of years ago. The actual bidding is shown. Milton Unger's six-club bid was cue-bid, asking North to de- eide on the final contract-whether 1t should be six hearts, six spades, or even seven no trump, and also to show his partner that he held the ace of clubs.
 But. as frequently happened in the early days of contract, North became a little confused by all the bidding. Thinking, "Well, we're in e slam contract anyway. and that Is what we wanted" he passed six clubs. Rather discouraging for South when he saw the dummyl But it didn't daunt Unger.
 He cashed two diamond tricks, three hearts and three spade tricks then cross-ruffed hearts and spades, making ali four of his trtimps safe- ly. and. believe it es not. his cons tract.

Glorying Yourself
 By Alicia HarA
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

The fact that fall skirts will be simmer and straighter than they have been in several seasons doesn't mean that smart women are going to strive for the hipless, curve-less, boyishly-f1at look which thrived during a past "slim silhouette" era.
 The softly-curved, feminine fig ure still is right from standpoints of both beauty and fashion. So don't let anyone persuade you to diet until you are painfully thin, your figure unfeminine in the 1925 manner.
 However, new clothes do call for slender waistline. If you are thick through the midriff you sim ply won't find falls newest sil- houette particularly hattering.

Military Training Is Grim Business, But Wise Youth Can Profit By It
BY RUTH MTLLETT

There is no use pretending that conscription would be anything but 8 grim necessity. Young men who in these troubled times are called for military training don't know what stern duty may lie in store for them.
 And yet there will be benefits 7 as well as hardships in the ex- perience.
 THERE WILL BE
 INEVITABLE BENEFITS
 Modern living doesn't offer the average young man much of an opportunity to become physically tough and hard. Military training will give him that opportunity.
 Many young men have found that being out of school only means being out of work. A chance to be useful citizens, to belong to the group on which a great nation de- bends for its protection, is bound to bolster their self-respect, lowered by hopeless job-hunting.
 A chance to get away from his home-prescribed by the government may even be welcomed by the young man whose family has always been a little too eager to protect him. DRAWBACKS ARE
 MORE APPARENT
 So there will be benefits-at least to some of the young men. Right now, however, they can't be expected to see them.
 Because the disadvantages are perhaps more immediately apparent than the benefits. Leaving their homes, giving up their jobs or post poning their schooling are only some of them. The worst thing of all is not knowing what the future holds in store.
 Those are the things they nat urally are thinking about today. Later, if they are wise, they may appreciate some of the benefits.
