fashion artists make furtive sketches
of her clothes in public are proof
enough that her methods work.
Some of her most successful cos

like a Renoir stepped from the canvas.

give her figure the fullness it needs

the hips. Navy blue shoes of the toe

worn to make her feet look smaller.

HUGE BOMDEUS
 FOR NAVY RANK .AsMATcHLESs.
Pacific Squadron to Get Six Swift 3O-Ton
 Flying Boats
BY ED THOMAS
 United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan Correspondent
 San Diego. Cal, Aug. l6-(UP)- A four-motored long-ranged patrol that tips the scales at a shade over 39 tons and has an inside floor space equal to that of five-room house will be delivered to Squadron VP13 at North Island soon.
 The huge flying boat, built by the Consolidated Aircraft Corpor- ation in San Diego, is the first of six similar flying dreadnaughts that will be taxied across the bay to North Island Naval air station Tn the next few months. When the six ships have been delivered, Squadron VP13, with its personnel of 100 pilots and mech. anics, will be the strongest long, range patrol arm of the United States air fleet.
 Few Facts Revealed The navy, displaying justifiable secrecy. hasn't released any official data relative to the size of or power of the new ships, but figures re- leased by the Consolidated officials reveal the tremendous size and
 potentialities these air boats will have.
 i The ships have a wing span of 115 feet, an overall length of 80 feet, and their height, from the keel of the hull to the top of the wing is R5 feet.
 The ships have cruising range of nearly 5000 miles, and with full crew of nine men will be capa- ble of speeds in excess of 200 miles an hour. They will be the fastest aircraft of their type in the world today.
 With load of several tons of bombs it is easy to see that squadron of six of these huge sii- yer ships will become one of the most powerful air armadas in the world. Streamlined into the single wing of the PB2Y2, as the new ship is numbered by Consolidated officials, will be four Pratt & Whitney radial | air-colled motors, each of which can generate 1,500 horsepower.
 Over at North Island, Lieut. Commander s. B. Cooke, comman- der of Squadron YPl3, since it. was commissioned early in July is ea- gerly awaiting the delivery of the first ship. ~.. .,.,-
 For several months the souad- ron personnel has had an experi- mental PB2Y2 to practice on" so as to familiarize themselves with the handling of the ship in the air.
 This experimental ship will not oe discarded, as most smaller experi- mental ships are, after delivery ot the first boat from the plant. The reason? It is valued at nearly $5O0,- 900, 50 the navy undoubtedly vii, find some usefulness for it after its days as experimental trainer are over.
 The experimental ship has per- formed "excellently," according to Cooke. t.
 In fact the ship has performed in such grand style that Cooke and his men are awaiting the arriva. of the real articles" with the arl- xiety of boys on Christmas eve.
