Looks Older

You can gam weight WITHOUT
knowing II and even when you
know you have put on too much
poundage il is hard 10 believe
what & does 10 you.
Al an age-guessing contest AZ
a party. one young man was so
undiplomatic as 10 put the age
Of a certain girl al past - be-
cause" he reasoned, her figure
is so settled. "
Well She is only % And she
didn't believe any one could
make such an absurd deduction
The rest Of the evening she kept
demanding, I'm not fat, am l ?
She il.
The thin girls can't see their
angles any more than The fat
ones can see their bulges. An
other friend OF mine appalled,
me by announcing that she in
tended to take off 10 pounds.
She IS already 10 pounds I'M
derweight and her lack Of vi
tally Is giving her the stopped
posture OF an older woman.
Check Measurements
II you are inclined to be
overly curvesome. you can get
an idea Of the way you really
look by checking up on your
weight and measurements now
and as they used 10 be.
IL you weigh the same and
have taken the same size dress
over a period Of several years
YOU can't have changed much in
looks and probably your figure
is good
But II you are having 10 let
your dresses out through the
waist and hips, take critical
look at those measurements.
Posture is a fairly good gauge
OF whether you are too thin. Re-
member when you used 10 hold
yourself beautifully erect? Then
you got in the habit Of being
tired and gradually into the
habit of poor posture. You II
have 10 feel fit again before you
can change that.

A petition for pardon made by John S. Johnston, 57, of Brooklyn, N. r., one of the men involved in the Waterbury conspiracy case. was denied yesterday by the state board of pardons. Johnston, who is now on parole after serving the mini mum of two to five year sentence, claimed he was trying to receive a commission in the armed forces.
 States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., whose father prosecuted the Wa terbury trial, appeared for the state opposing the plea. Several other men who were sentenced in Wa terbury were among those who ap- peared at yesterdays hearing at the Wethersfield state prison.
 Louis M. Leopold of Waterbury, who is serving a life sentence as the result of conviction in 1928 on & charge of second degree murder failed in his plea. Among other petitions denied was that of Whit ney Price. 29, former Prospect con- stable, who was found guilty of charges of rape and indescent as- sault.
 Dennis Mccarthy. who was sen- tenceG to serve 20 to 30 years on a charge of burglary had filed a petition with the board but failed to appear yesterday for a hearing. A decision is expected later in the cases of Baron Torkomian, Philip Rausch and James Babulas.
 Arthur M. Becker, 45, of New Bri- tian, who twice was convicted of as- sault with intent to murder police officers, had his sentence commuted. He will be eligible to apply for pa- role in May.
 Becker was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in states prison in 1922 for shooting Sergeant Lawrence J. Lowe Of Hartford. He received the same sentence for shooting Police Chief Nathan W. Fuller of Pennington, in 1881 while he was on parole.
 Becker appeared before the board, saying he "has made something of" himself while in prison.
