This local debt, however, is only

continued.
Outstanding total indebtedness

point the debt with average $494

To-day, with federal government
constantly going deeper and deeper
into the red to provide for the
national defense as well as ordinary
expense, great care should be ex-

governments in cordiserding new

association stated.
"Exery propasal, no matter how
desirable it may appear on the
surface, should be viewed in re-

must inevitably levy upon the peo-
pie to pay for the preparedness
program; g. The need for the pro-

Kemper said that such legislation
should contain a prohibition against

ban against the dispatch of armed

Kemper said that the administra-

 What a jolly way of telling the world where you live = this clever cat-and dog number boardl You can make and paint 1t yourself, fol- lowing patterns that even show where each color is applier. Best to use waterproof plywood for the cat and dog but you may use non-waterproof wood if you ap- ply clear lacquer before painting.
 First step is to trace pattern on the plywood, using carbon paper, and then cut out with coping or jog saw. Paint with colored lacquer or enamel in gay reds and yellows, greys, blacks.
 The cat balances" on the post by virtue of 6 tab at its base which you nail behind the sign. Then, to make dog and post stand per- fectly erect, you drive 3-8 inch wooden dowels into their bottom edges, letting about 6 inches stick down into the ground.

body, Miss Gae recommends this routine:
 Stand erect with feet slightly apart. Relax shoulders, arms and waistline and bend forward, letting fingertips swing loosely above your feet. Do not stiffen knees, and don't bother about trying to touch the floor with fingertips. Simply lean forward, relaxing every muscle, from neck down.
 Miss Gae thinks that ballroom dancing, besides being fun, is wonderful for the figure and pos- ture. She points out that 8 few dancing lessons might be worth while for any woman who feels that her dancing isn't all it should be and who wants to walk, sit and stand more gracefully.
 And always remember to think of your legs as springs for your body,". the dancer concludes. Don't let your torso sag against hip joints. Keep the upper part of your body up and away from the lower half. This will make your waistline slim mer and your carriage more attrac- tive"

MOTIVE FOR MURDER

MOI1VE FUN MOnDEA
 Tn Murder in the Family" (I'm sorry can't remember the authors name, although the yarn is ore of the best in years) the motive seem- ed adequate while one was read mig the story, but on subsequent re- flection 1t was not 50 good. Still, one reason why this mystery story stands out 50 clearly from the ruck is just that-the motive seemed to justify the corpse. Eden Philpott's Mystery of the Grey Room" many years ago rang the bell as 8 good murder story, and his recent "Monkshood" kept the reader awake anyway, but these are only tales in the category that have left a definite impression.
 Responding to call for data concerning individuals who would qualify for the role of the corpse in a murder story, one of our read- CTS submitted the following:
 "You asked for data of those

 to your attention that lowest of
 scoundrels, who in or out of mar
 riage infects 8 woman with gon-
 orrhea.
 In fifteen years of general prac-
 tice and twelve years of practice
 limited to gynecology I have met
 him so often, and I can think of
 no one more despise. His damn
 able lack of moral sense or pity
 toward one he should protect and love, causes thousands of inno-
 cent women to go through life
 of misery, mutilating operations
 and subsequent sterility, and has
 brought death to many. For the
 scoundrel responsible for all that can think of nothing more suit able than ." (here the
 doctor suggests a worse death
 than hanging).
 Well, now, if I were going to write a story on that theme I'd brand the man and publiciZe the significance of the brand. He'd spend the rest of his life educat- | ing the public, bringing the truth home to people wherever he might venture to show his face.
 The introduction of sulfanilanide has increased the efficacy of treat men for gonorrheal infection in women, but whether the disastrous effects of such infection have been materially lessened we are as yet unable to deetrmine. However, even ! if that or other treatment were specific against gonorrheal infec- ton, there would be little decrease of one-child sterility-that is, the sterility that comes to the woman who has borne one child and shortly afterward suffered an acute attack of inflammation, invasion of tubes or ovaries, pelvic peritonitis, perhaps salpingitis or pyosalpinx (tubal inflammation, pus tube). thanks to the gonorrheal infection contributed by her husband. Even if removal of the damaged tubes or ovaries is not immediately neces- sary, the inflammation usually leaves the woman sterile.

 Miss Gae htinks that relaxation exercises are the answer to this problem. Here are directions for a routine that she advocates and which she does regularly:
 Lie flat on your back on the floor with ankles about a foot apart. Try to relax the entire body as much as possible. Now, without bending knee, but without stiffening 1t unneces- sarily, lift right leg about foot off the floor, then let 1t fall. Repeat, lifting left leg and then letting il fall to the floor. To keep heels from getting bumped during this exercise, place thin pillow on the floor uIl- der them.
