ITS ONLY FAIR

Of course. it really serves you right that you are at last being picked to pieces by anybody with an urge for "ten-best" selection.
 Women have long been subjected to such titles as "the girl with the most perfect legs" "the girl with the most perfect measure ments" and the girl who looks best in 8 sweater"
 There has been nothing sacred about feminine anatomy for a long, long time. And so the men have 1t coming to them.
 But you had better put a stop to 1t If you want to maintain the masculine dignity you prize so highly. It's slipping!

 And now sculptress, after looking you over, comes out with the statement that cars are the true index of a gentleman's real and lasting affection
 To emphasize her point, she makes specific reference to the ears of famous men. The ears of one of our ambassadors she de- scribes as "satyr, king -size"- which, it seems, is all to the good. She judges a certain comedians s ears "piquant and pointed; dev- astatingly faun-like" How do you like that?

figure at or below the dividing
line. The dividing line is fixed at
the highest approved rent shown
in the lowest third of the appli-

January Is and March 20 Of this

If the dividing line works out
higher than $50, it must be re-

The rest of the dwellings max

The new dividing line'' is to
be worked out in each city by the
local federal housing administra-

forth in the order. Fer some ma

mately these sales marks;

Aim of the order is to provide
as many homes as possible below
the $4,000 price class in meeting
President Truman's veterans hous-
ing goal Of 2,700,ooo homes in two
years.
Wyatt said this does not NEAR
that houses under $4,000 will be
produced at once in all parts Of
the country, but as building costs
are lowered through hig-velume
construction the dividing lines will
be lowered.

housing under $4,000 or under $5l
