Subsidy for Cotton
Exports 10 Canada
Is lnaugurated
PIon Designed to Aid
Competition With
BroziIion Staple
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department in
augurated today new export SUBJ
sidy program on American cotton
designed to help make 1t competitive
In the Canadian market with Bra
lillian cotton.
During the last year or so Ameri-
can cotton has been quoted at con-
siderably above foreign cotton in
world markets. largely because OF
price-supporting and other farm
programs.
The department will offer to eX-
porters cotton from the 1887 crop
ACQUIRED under grower loan pro-
grams to the amount of not more
than 308,00O bales in any month, or
100000 bales year.
Base Rate Is Set.
The price will be at base rate of
1925 cents a pound for 16-16-inch
middling cotton at the warehouse
locations in the mill area OF the
Carolinas. The price at other ware
house locations east OF the Mlsslsslp-
pi River will vary in the same
amount as the location differentials
set I'D under the 194l cotton loan
program. West of the Mississippi
River the sale price at each ware
house location will be the base price
in the Carolina mill area, less the
freight rate to such area from the
warehouse.
Officials said these prices were
several cents under current spot
prices.
Premiums and discounts for grades
and staples above and below mid
ding 15-16-inch will be the average
of the 10 spot markets for staple
lengths up to but not including l-l6-
inch during the period from Sep
tember to September Is, 1941. For
staples 1-l6-inch and longer the
average during the same period on
the Memphis market will be used.
Shipments Halted.
The department said 1t expected
release of Government-owned stocks
to help remove the disparity that
now exists between American cot
ton and foreign grown cotton on for
eign markets, particularly the Cana
dian market. Increases in the price
of American cotton during the past
few months have brought exports
virtually to standstill.
officials explained that the cotton
would be available for export tc
markets other than Canada, but be-
cause of the war and shipping diff.
fculties little was expected to be SOLD
outside the Canadian market.
Sales of government cotton for ex-
port will be restricted to not more
than 10000 bales to one person on
given day and to not more than l00.-
900 bales to any person engaged IN
exporting cotton to Canada.
Cotton released from government
stocks must be exported not later
than July 81, 1912.

bring the body to healthful degree of fatness and keep it there.
 A moderate store of fat is an es- sential, but the storage room should not be overcrowded. It has been estimated that for every pound of excess fat stored in the body one mile of capillaries are necessary for its nourishment. Think of the mileage and heart energy it takes to send blood on such journeys.
 Overweight is the direct result of persistent overeating. People often eat because they are ro"ec to satisfy a sense of frast-ation. A snack they don't neei lays oown a bit of tonnage
 This may happen at any time. but in winter the incliraticn to eat Is greater. Ordinarily more food mart be burned to provide the extra heat needed at this season, and the ap- petite is stimulated by exposure to cold.
 If we are confined to steam heated rooms or do not increase our activity in proportion to the extra food eaten, we will have to let ut our belts.

cause considerable chagrin among the little clique of medical politic- ianS who run the American Medi- cal Association, or at least sing in the Greek chorus supporting the Pooh-Bah in that role. The A. M. A. had a dinfferent plan for doctor ing bread, namely. to add pinch of synthetic thiamin, just one of the several entities of the natural vitamin B complex. to refined white flour and calling it restored"
 Don't look now, but in this col- umn every time the subject has come up have pointed out the fu- tulity and the unwisdom of any such restoration" of white flour as that proposed by the A. M. A. that is ,adding a small amount of synthetic thiamin -(BD to the re- fined white flour. That could fairly be characterized factoring bread, but by no spacious, pseudo-scienti- fic argument could such doctoring be considered restoration, that is, restoration of essential nutritive factors which have been removed CT destroyed in the milling process.
 This column, too, has contained a great many allusions to the cal- cium shortage and recommenda- tions for correcting it-So many, indeed, that some people, not quite clear about the chemistry of nutri- tion, have inferred that I must be bit nutty on the subject, since I siggeSt increased calcium intake for so many everyday ailments. I don't mind being considered a nut = it appear that Uncle Sam is nutty now.
 In recording my approval of the governments plan to fortify white flour by the addition of natural vi- tamin B complex, calcium and iron I take exception: only to the iron wheat is an indifferent, relatively unimportant source of food iron in the first place; and in the next place if vitamin G (ribohayin) 7, one of the entities of the natural B complex, is present in the diet utilization of the iron in various common foods is likely to be suf- ficient for the body's requirements.

 If shoulders on spring clothes are to be Sloping, as advance fashion reports hint, then this is the time for every woman to realize that the simmer her hipline the better she will look in sloping shoulders. Squared, padded shoulders make hips seem more slender than they actually are. Sloping shoulder lines do just the reverse.
 The ideal figures hipline usually is no more than ten inches larger than her waiStnne. In other words, if her waist measures 26, her hips are 36.
 CAREFUL DIET
 IS FIRST STEP
 For the woman who feels that her waistline, as well as hips, is too large, diet and exercise or diet and massage are the only answer.
 She can begin by resolving to have only fruit, one slice of lightly buttered toast and hot beverage for breakfast, and clear soup, a salad, more fruit and milk or a hot, lightly sweetened beverage for lunch. For dinner. one medium size portion of everything on the menu is allowed-but no second helpings, and no nibbling between meals.
 In addition, she should do special reducing exercises fifteen minutes day.
 If, however, only her hipline is too large, she can keep on eating pretty much as usual and depend on exercise or exercise plus mas sage for hip slimming.
 ROLLING INCHES OFF THE HIPS
 Here are directions for two of the best hip slenderizing routines:
 Lie flat on the. floor with hands clasped above head, ankles togeth- CT. Now lift feet slightly of the floor, keep shoulders flat and roll slowly from side to side on hips. Most of the weight of the body should be on hips and thighs as you roll.
 Lie flat on the floor with arms folded across chest, ankles together. Lifting head and feet slightly up away from the floor, roll over and over to the left, then back-over and over to the right. AS you roll, try to keep the weight of the body on hips and thighs. Repeat ten times the first day, fifteen the sec ond, and so on until you are rolling twenty times to the left and twenty times to the right each day.
