SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, JOHN DOUGHBOY,"
 AND SHUN GHOST WRITTEN LOVE LETTERS

signing your name to them gets sent to another camp? What are you going to do then? That will cer- tainly put you on the spot with your girl.
 Also, there's always the risk that the girl may find out you haven't been writing the "most beautiful" letters yoursef-that you've been reading detective magazine chucking the funnies while another guy writes dearest" and "darling" for you.
 If that happens, your girl will drop you 50 fast you won't even know what happened DO THE BEST YOU CAN
 And of course, there is the bare possibility she may actually fall in love with the letter writer and the young man who has been so obligng about writing your letters may decide to take over your girl.
 You know there was another lazy man who sat back and left his courting to friend. His name was Miles Standish and he loved Priscilla.
 You know who got Priscilla.
 So write your own love letters if the best you can do is Dear Kid: I'm fine and hope you are the same" It's safer-and also more fun.

POOR DAD, HE CAN'T SHAKE
 IT OFF

POOR DAD, HE CAN'T SHAKE IT OFF
 My dad weighs in the neighbor- hood of 210 pounds and is five feet eleven inches tall. He has an ab- normal stomach size. In the last year he has been he has been us- ing Q mechanical vibrator on his hand, rubbing 1t over his body. He thinks this makes him feel better, but 1t has not brought about any apparent reduction. Dad is 60 years old. Recently he saw a |gadget that stands on the floor and has 8 large strap that goes around the body and vibrates the flesh. Mother thinks the machine would not be good for dad to use. What is your opinton? Will 1t reduce? If you consider 1t of any value I can easily make one for dad at 8 fraction of the cost-I am machin- ist. Dad is travelling salesman and doesn't get much exercise. (M. J.)
 Regular exercises will help re- duction, provided rational reduc- ton diet is followed faithfully over a sufficient lergth of time. No req son why a travelling salesman may not fllow such diet and take the exercises regularly.
 Neither a miniature vibrator nor the big sap shaker will reduce any one noticeably. Nor will passage or any kind of rub or pummel treatment. Nor any kind of bath or sweat treatment (except by the weight of water lost in sweating, which is invariably regained with in a day or two.)
 If you have any reducing to do you must do 1t yourself. No one else can do 1t for you.
 In any case diet is the main part of the reduction regimen. Exercise is of secondary importance, though 1t is important. Turning someraults ALWAYS ON THE FLOOR OR GROUND. and not in the air as Webster has 1t, is hardly exercise but helps to keep one cheerful about the whole thing. or Doc Brady, who writes this column when there's no bowling on account of wet greens, believes his morning rolls have kept him from becoming old Crab Brady all these years.
 With rare exceptions every one who puts on excess flesh does it because he or she eats too much that is painful to admit, perhaps, but 1t is the physiological truth. Generally the surplus is piled up, not in a month or two, but insidi- ously over a period of years. Get ting rid of the superfiuous weight, the stacker flesh. should be grad- ual process. That way, whatever good looks or good health one may have had B. O. may be retained or recovered. Whereas any attempt to reduce in a hurry is pretty certain to impair personal appearance and health too.

CHIC MODELS AT SMALL COST
BY MARIAN YOUNG

4s8 AAGAAsANAN 4VOkVW
 NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 New York-The budget depart n1ents are so full of new, smart and fiattering spring dresses that only a perverSely hard-to-please creature could shop for day or two and not find several frockS to suit her taste as well as her pocketbook. This is indeed e season when designers of low and moderate-priced dresses de- serve loud and generous applause.
 Gone are the days when dis tinctive prints were to be found only In the high-income brackets. The girl who has to think twice before paying even ten dollars for Q dress no longer Is forced to take Q nondescript print or else no print ct all. This year, for her approval, budget shop in all stores offer quantities of those chic, wddely-gpaced designs that look hand-painted, and wonder full florals, with the flowers as clearly defined and fresh looking as newly-cut blooms from a spring garden.
 YOUR CHOICE OF COLOR COMBINATIONS
 In addition, there are stunning navy and white, black and white, and brown and white checks in rayon crepe, faille and tie silk. And there are plaidS, too, and stylized motifs in all sizes and shapes.
 Among the monotones, it's possi- ble to find silk and sheer wool crepe coat dresses as well as some which look like coat dresses but aren't. The latter often have ky front ef- fectS or thick rope of material straight down the front.
 There are suave two-piece mod- els with the new, longer boddces and beautiful, knife-pleated skirts. One of these, in navy blue rayon crepe, has a huge, flattering collar of crisp white organdy with pieat- ed edges. The new longer bodices shirred becomdngly at the waist line. It, costs less than fourteen dollars.
 For excellent value, 6 beige wool redlngote over Q brown, beige and cream print dress just can't be beat. The redingote is lined with print to match the dress and IS trimmed with deep, v-shaped quilted pockets. Dress and coat cost less than eighteen dollars, and the coat would be just as smart over dresses in soft, solid colors as over the print.
 Just as easy to find In budget departments as in custom made salons are: dresses with peplums in every length and every degree of tullness; the new rounded

Do You Kn0k The Events
 In Americas Hositry'

We were never so conscious oa America, of what 1t means to be and American as we are today.
 In conversation about the his. tory of our country, do you wish you knew more about 1t, how it came to be?
 The Pilgrims, landing at Mas sachusetts in 1920, may have long been a symbol to you of courage. But you may not know that even before they went ashore they had organized one of Americas first attempts at self-government.
 And many people ar amazed to learn that after the Revolution was won we drifted on for six years without President or judges. The Bill of Rights that we take so for granted was adopted in 1791 only after bitter struggle.
 Another step in freedom for all was Lincoln,s Emancipation Proc- lamation in 1863. By 1t slaves tD Confederate states were freed, 1D 1865 all slavery was banished.
 And in modern times America continues its progress. With whas men, not long dead, are as:>sc a- ted the phrases "cross of e.-d,' "the square deal," "the new free dom"?

Glorifing Yourself

 Makeup which dramatizes the skins natural texture Is news in the beauty departments. This is a spring to buy cosmetics that will give your complexion @ naturally fresh, glowing look rather than a heavily powdered appearance.
 One manufacturer makes @ new foundation lotion that gives the skin dull, mat finish. It isn't sticky. It isn't drying. And 1t certainly doesn't create the. old-fashioned flour -barrel" look. To wear over 1t, there's 6 silken sheer powder that enhances rather than conceals the natural skin tones.
 LOOKING BORED
 DEFINITELY OUT
 Also new is Q dry rouge that will stay on as long as the cream kind will. This is made by a company which specializes in indelible lip- sticks. The dry rouge is to be blended on the cheeks after founda- ton lotion has been applied. Pow der goes on last.
 This spring, it's definitely not smart to try to achieve pale- checked, languid, faintly bored look. The widely-publicized "vitamin" type of girl really has replaced the old fashioned girl type.
 The best models who wear the best clothes in the best custom- made salons are slender, but not painfully thin. Their cheeks are subtly rouged. Their mouths are bright, bright scarlet, but the color follows the natural lines of the lips. Gone are pale faces above gaunt, half-starved looking bodies. And gone are painted-on mouths that droop at the corners in @ pouting sort of way. FASHION DEGREES SHORTER LONG BOB
 It's not smart to be plump. But neither is 1t smart to be skinny. It's not smart to wear a great deal of rouge, but neither is 1t smart to wear no rouge at all.
 And it definitely is not smart to wear an extremely long bob that covers shoulders as well as the nape of the neck. There are plenty of long bobs about, to be sure, but they are much shorter than formerly.

By not writing your own love let- ters you're missing out on a lot.
 First you're missing the thrill that comes when you read over the love letter you struggled hours to write and find 1t good. Thinking to your- self, Boy, oh boy, this'll get her, all right. Those boys back home won't have a chance with her now"
 And you're missing @ thrill when she writes back, That was the most beautiful letter I ever read" You. won't get much of a kick out of hearing that--if somebody else wrote the most beautiful" letter for you.
