A LONG-WAISTED BASQUE STYLE
PATTERN 336

The young 'teen-age crowd loves simple clothes that have fashion newsl That's why Pattern 336 by Claire Tilden is bound to score a hit. It combines two important fea- lures of the season; the longer torso treatment and the two-piece effect. In fact, this frock is so at- tractive that you'll do as many Style-wise women do when they find 8 dress to their liking-have it in different versions. For dress up style, you might accent the graceful follow through lines of the V-neck, the front bodice seam and the curvlng hip-seams with novelty braid or ric-rac. This gay trim, to- gether with gathering through hte center-front skirt panel, would lend a party air to the frock. Then, for a second, more tailored dress you could use buttons down the front, keep the skirt panel flat, and add

High Calory Foods Made Her Fat
 Heavens, is that fat woman MEp" When the mirror shows you're not just "pleas :ngly plump" any more-what to do?
 Diet, everyone says. And diet is right, if it's the scientific low-calory one. Skipping courses won't do, for it's calories, not quantities that build fat.
 You might think iS fattening to eat whole" meals! But you can lose on them if they're low-calory foods. A lamb chop has only 100 calories, a baked potato 100, 3 stalks of asparagus 20, two cookies 100. A real lunch-only 320 calories!
 You can even eat delicious sweet desserts! Only you'll choose date graham pudding GOO a serving), not Brown Betty (500); lemon ice (100), not a chocolate walnut sum- dae (425)!
 But if you don't know your cal- ories what damage you can do with ONE dish. A serving of lamb stew with dumpling has 440 calories. Two buttered waffles are 600! So get yourself calory chart as diet guide. Be good, don't weaken, and you'll lose two pounds a week!
 Our 32-page booklet gives cal- ory chart, 3-day liquid diet to start reducing and AZ tasty low-calory menus.

 Danger in Slow Rises
 Let's not stop learning. Consufn- CTS must cooperate with their gov ernment to prevent waste and un- justified price increases. The dan- ger of disastrous price rises during the present emergency does not lie primarily in spectacular increases, but rather in the tendency for prices to creep up just little" at time - little up on price, a little down on quality. little down on quantitff, warns Harriet Elliott, con- sumer commissioner of the N.

 On the basis of estimates made by the weights and measures off, cials, 1t is not unlikely that the typical American family of four loses as much as $45 per year as a result of short weiihing and short measuring.

 As 1t is, probably the only girls with nerve enough to volunteer for the Girls Defense Club are the pretty, poppy, popular girls who are already good dancers and don't really need to meet young men.
 If the girls were drafted, there would be all types. If necessary, the army could provide classes for the poor dancers, to get them up to army requirements.

WHAT'S THE USE OF SINUSEs
 ANYWAY?


 Nobody knows why the skull is not solid ivroy, or why there are four pairs of air-spaces in 1.-the maxiliary sinuses or antra in the upper jaw bone behind the cheek, the frontal sinuses behind the brow eminences, the ethmoid sinuses or cells between the eye-sockets, and farther back near the base of the brain the sphenoid sinuses. All of these air spaces are lined with mu- cous membrane continuous with the lining of the nasal passages and throat. All communicate through small openings with the nasal pas- sages. Some physicians believe the sinuses, when normal, give charac- ter or resonance to the voice, as @ sounding-board modulates or influ- ences the tone of an instrument. Perhaps this is a wrong inference drawn from the hatness of the voice of one with sinus trouble-but I doubt that any one can distinguish the effect of sinusitis on the voice from the effect of other conditions which cause similar obstruction of the nasal passages. Of course the sinuses tighten the weight of the skull slightly.
 It is impossible to distinguish the onset of acute sinusitis from the onset of. acute coryza. But when nasal discharge and other symptoms persist for weeks and months it is a mistake to imagine the trouble is "just a cold that hangs on." When such symptoms persist as long as four weeks 1t is quite likely that they are due to sinusitis.
 Neither is there any Justification in fact for the common tendency to regard persistent nasal discharge as 8 "little catarrh," which is in- evitable in "this changeable cli- mate," much less for the quackery of doctors who foster this attitude. cmfwypfc Il shrdlu cmfwy ualyy
 Chronic sinusitis is a mean, nag ging ailment which keeps the vic- tim miserable and depressed, some- times even melancholic, always weakens ambition and ability to concentrate upon the work at hand. Dull headache or a sense of heavi- ness is constantly present and the victim seldom finds the weather quite to his liking. Reading or other close work tires the eyes, increases the headache, often causes the eyes to become reddend and irritated-- indeed many person with unrecog- nized or neglected sinusitis has been

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Near Sighted

Girl, 16, wearing glasses for mild near-sightedness. Am told If I wear glasses now I'll have to wear them all my life, and that there is @ diet which corrects near-sightedness |. c. s. H.)
 Answer My advice is, first, be sure your glasses are fitted by 8 physician eye specialist who makes the tests while your eyestrain is at complete rest under eye drops only so can an accurate measure ment be made. Second, wear the glasses or omit them only as your eye physician instructs. Do not be misled by absurd promises of effects from diet or exercise.
 Waterlogged
 My husband uses more salt than anyone have ever seen. He drinks tremendous amount of water. With the least exertion he sweats pro- fusely, and has little endurance for man of his age. He is 53 years old, five feet 10 inches tall and weighs POS pounds. (Mrs. s. H. W)
 Answer-Excessive salt consump- tion causes retention of too much water in body tissues and blood, constant water-logged state, flab- biness, weakness, overweight. No salt on table; add no salt in cook ing. Your husband should depend on the salt naturally present in eggs, milk, fish and meat, and use none as condiment.

 The popular notion that there M definite state called "catarrh" duS to weather or climate may explain the popular indifference to persist ent nasal discharge and other symp- toms of sinusitis. It also accounts for the astonishing indifference of a great many persons to constant swallowing of such nasal secretion when it flows back into the naso- pharynx Or post-nasal space. In many cases practically no discharge appears at the nostrils although an enormous amount flows back to the throat, where it causes considerable local trouble before it is swallowed or otherwise disposed of.

 Not Always Intentional
 Not all of this loss is caused de- liberately. Weights and measures officials emphasize that probably 95 per cent of all merchants make an honest effort to give accurate weights and measures. To dt this, it is necessary that they have accurate weighing and measuring of government etaoinshrdlucmfpr devices. An important function of government is to test these de- vices to be sure that they are fail alike to buyer and seller.

From data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics we can estimate that for every dollar tie families of wage earners and low-salaried workers spent in December, 1914, they spent $115 in December, 1915. Between De- cember, 1915, and December, 1916, there was a 20 per cent increase in the price of food.
 Now let's look at our record of the first year of World War II. Dur ing 194O, the cost of living in- creased per cent. Food costs have increased 24 per cent; cloth ing O.3 per cent and house fur nishings have actually droppet 2.2 per cent. Despite calamitous warn tngs, 1t looks as if we have learned

After newly-applied face powder has set for g. moment or two, Miss Ames whisks off the excess with a soft powder brush or a clean, fluffy piece of cotton. She then tints lash- es on upper lids with mascara.
 If you decide to wear eyeshadow. make sure that you choose a shade which will make your eyes more luminous-not tired looking. You can drain the eyes themselves of practically all color by wearing the wrong eye-shadow, and, in addition, create haggard appearance around them. By all means, use 1t sparing- ly and blend it careful. To make 1t go on smoothly, put an extremely thin film of cream on lids before applying the e-shadow cream"

The attractiveness of even the smartest costume is a great deal less effective if the makeup on the fave above it is streaked, dingy or otherwise unlovely.
 So says Adrienne Ames, beau- tiful film actress, who believes tkot 1t is as easy to cultivate good makeup habits as bad ones.
 Just as you learned to brush your teeth up and down instead of back and forth, and to comb your hair quickly and beautifully, so can you learn to apply cos- metics properly. Only little time and a firm determination to learn are required"

 Miss Ames, herself 8 soap and water addict, shudders at the idea of putting fresh makeup on over layers of stale. After thorough cleansing she always pats on skin tonic or other freshener before foundation and makeup.
