Foundations
For Trimness

A WOMAN should have
trim. neat figure; II she hasn't.
she should give it that appear
ance by wearing a correctly
selected. carefully fitted founda-
ton garment.
Designers of these garments
have slick tricks up their
sleeves. They know how to cam
outage anatomical errors. Their
models do wonders TO disguise
the pendulous abdomen. a com.
mon trouble.
When bent on corset buying,
60 10 reliable tablishment,
seek the services of an expert
filter. There aren't as many or
as varied offerings as we have
had in the past; it sometimes
happens that alterations are
necessary. Many teen-age girls
have sloppy f1gures, mainly be-
cause they disregard correct
posture and splendid carriage.
The smartest. costliest frock
loses character if it is carried
by the slouchy frame. A good
figure is a big beauty asset.
The woman who is so blessed
needn't think ii is going TO stay
that way. The musculature must
be kept strong and resilient by
means of exercise. Diet should
be carefully watched so that
expansion OF the midsection
will not rob il of youthful lines.

that Virginia will become a great
industrial State after the war if
the proper care is taken in select

Virginia has the natural re-
sources, labor supply, power trans
portation facilities and other favor
able factors" he said, adding that
"the State planners face the i'm
portant problem of selecting the
best industries to invite to the
State. Only industries promising
long life and stable employment at
good wages should be permitted to
locate in Virginia.
Conversion to war economy has
brought many radical changes in
Virginias economic and social life
Return to peace time condition is
not easy, but except in one or two
areas the State should retain most
of its wartime progress" he said

Citizens Units Urged
Ito Volunteer Aid in
Fight Against Rats
Health Department Aide
Says Stoff Undermunned
To Press Campaign

An appeal for the Districts So
citizens associations to aid the
undermined rodent-control in
spection crew in the war against the
lcitys rats was made today by Am
brose P. Bell, Health Department
engineer.
Mr.. Bell said that his six-man
crew. under the supervision of two
inspectors, was woefully inadequate
to press the drive against the pests.
All civic organizations must CO.
ioperate If the campaign is to make
any headway he said.
Harry S. Wender, president Of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, promptly pledged the aid of
the federation's member associa-
tions. We'll do everything we can
to aid," he said.
Several years ago the aid of civic
groups was enlisted in a similar
campaign, but the response was
handicapped by organization OF
civilian defense work which was
just getting started at the time
Mr.. Bell expressed the hope that
this time the organizations would
have more time to give to the rat
campaign.
First step in the campaign will
be to determine what areas are in
Tested with rodents. Under the plan
citizens groups will be asked to
name chairman to handle publicity
and appoint block managers"
The block managers will distribute
specially prepared questionnaires to
every householder in the block
The answers received will enable
the rodent-control crew and citi-
zen volunteers to distribute bats
and traps. Instructions on how tc
use the bats will be supplied te
housewives. building owners anc
others.
