A miracle? This transformation of Mrs. Buxom, size 40, into Mrs. S1iIa, size 36? No miracle at all it's just what happens when you follow a sane and healthful low ca3ory regime.
 Your extra pounds and bulges come from taking foods which give more calories than you need. So, to reduce, choose foods which give you fewer calories than you need. On 1900 calories day, you Jose two pounds a week.
 And don't fear that you'll have 8 "hay and grass" diet. Your calory chart lists many tasty low-calory foods. Instead of nut cheese sand wicl1 (300 calories) you choose an olive sandw:-h Q50). Instead of a chocolate walnut sundae (425) you take Spanish cream Q00 a cup).
 Your regular meals are as sat- isfying as this one: one cup con- somme (25 calories), one slice roast beef (100, F cup lima beans (100), IA Lead lettuce, 1 tablespoon French dressing(79), slice buttered

It is important for 8 woman to study herself, of course. But she shouldn't overlook the lessons to be learned from studying other wo- men - beautiful and drab, smart and dowdy.
 Nor is 1t enough for her to know whether they hit or miss the mark. She should know why a makeup or hair style is wrong. And why one woman's clothes are smart, an-:: others not. sr~
 Then she will be able to borrow their clever tricks and avoid their mistakes.
 A profitable and entertaining game she can play is mentally fig. uring out what she would do to their looks and clothes if she had a free hand. ,- MOSTLY A MATTER F., OF CARE ta+ 5s
 She will notice after, she has played the game @ while that most of the things she would remedy. are just 8 matter of taking pains.

MONDAY LAST 5 .''' Yea
DISASTROUS In
FATAL EVENTS
Widespread Fatalities Mark
The Day Here And In War
Devastated Europe

Monday was day of disaster with
unusual happenings taking a heavy
toll of life and property.
A truck rammed the rear of a
school bus carrying twenty-five chill
dren from rural homes to Dover
schools, killing one and injuring fiji
teen others. The accident occurred
on the DUPONT highway, two miles
north of Dover.
A gust sleet storm beat over the
Middle Atlantic and New England
states, cripling traffic and disrupting
routine in dozens of communities as
trees, telephone and power lines broke
under the weight of accommodating
ice. Freezing rain and sleet fell in
New York state, icing highways and
making travel particularly dangerous.
Many highway accidents were report
ed and one man was killed in Pennsyl-
vania when he touched an electric
wire which fell during the storm.
At Shenandoah, Pa, homes and
business houses sank as much as 20
inches in cave-ins of the honeycomb
of old anthracite diggings which un-
dermined the town. Walls cracked in
business buildings and factories;
water and gas mains broke; roofs sag
ged and walls bulged in homes.
Cracks in street pavements were sew
eral feet wide and in many cases six
to eight feet Deep The collapse was
thought to have been caused by rain
that fell for twenty-four hours.
A tornado left trail of ruin across
Southern Illinois and part of Indiana,
killing many and making others home
less in the path of the twister. DAM
age is estimated at 100000.
From Europe came the report of
the burning of the British liner Do
mala, after the vessel was machine
gunned and bombed in the English
channel by a line German bomber.
Probable loss Of life was 1O8, heaviest
toll aboard a merchantmen since the
liner Athena went down on the first
day of the war with death list of
113.

LOCAL CACERS
AGAIN DOWNED
BY THE BAPTISTS
Miss The Services OF Tom Mill.
er, Fail To Stop The Church
Team From Salisbury

The Guards, without the services
of Tom Miller, tried again Tuesday
night to wipe out a previous defeat
administered by the Baptist quintet
of Salisbury, but the Guards found
the visitors a little too fast and suf-
fered their second straight defeat
1926.
Johnny Blaine Schoolfield returned
to the lineup and while he played an
excellent game, he was very cautious
about his ankle which he broke early
in the season. Apparently, he will
be in top form for the Texaco-G Guard
series.
The feature of the game was the
Baptist team leaving the floor for ten
minutes in protest of George Spence,
the official of the game, calling a
series of technical fouls because of
outside interference from the Baptist
bench. The walk the Baptist cagers
took helped them considerably mas
much as the score was practically tied
when the walk-out occurred and they
came back to chalk up five consecu-
tive field goals before the Guards
could tally.
In the preliminary game of the e.
vening the Texaco cagers had a prac-
tice session, using all of their twelve
players in defeating an "All-Star'
aggregation by the score of 27-15.
Each of the local teams will have
one more game before they clash ir
their championship series.

THEIR MEETING AT
HOTEL POCOMOKE
Rev. X. B. Mathews Addresses
Lodge On The Subject Of
True Americanism

On February 22nd, Pocomoke Lodge
No. 1924 B. P. o. E. entertained at
the Hotel Pocomoke, approximately
seventy-five Elks and their friends.
The supper, which was good in every
respect, was given in honor of the
birthday of Elkdom, in coordination
with Americanism Week. The guest
speaker, DR.. r. B. Mathews, Episco-
palian minister, gave very stirring
address on Anericanism, and held the
crowds attention throughout his talk
which was very interesting and educa-
tional. Immediately following the
supper, the Elks retired to their
Lodge rooms to give the initiatory
degree to four newly elected men,
bers. Those receiving the degree
were: H. Merrill Walters, Mervin
Ward, Henry Watson, J. o. Byrd.
The local Elks, after many years
of endeavor, succeeded last June in
obtaining a charter, and although
less than a year old, the Lodge is
coming to the front rapidly as one of
the towns most active organizations.
New applications are being received
at practically each meeting night,
and in the Spring their new home on
Market Street will be officially open
ed, at which time a large class of
candidates will be initiated into the

 Tunney, strong and silent during the trial which lasted but a few minutes, used this effective means of exit to escape crowd of news papermen, photographers and wide eyed citizens who gathered to see the former champion.
 He went to Judge Daniel E. Ryan's chambers immediately after the hearing. A few minuets later, he was seen to haul himself through the first floor window, plop into a bank Of newly-fahen snow. and make of for the railroad station.
 The former boxing champion, at- tired in a conservative business suit did not say word during the entire court proceeding, which was brief When the court asked how Tunney would plead to the charge, it was his attorney, Judge Matthew E. Han-
