He has reduced his practice

him.
Fayors Modern Methods
One of the last of Kansas horse
and-buggy doctors who used that
means of travel before the turn of
the century, DR.. Schenk is a
plumper for modern medicine.
New medical techniques and the
latest drugs, he says, are going to
be responsible for an ever increas-
ing rise in the nations health
standard.
His is the largest medical library
in the country. He reads from it
often, desiring to keep up with
modern medical trends.

and firm voice, partly bald, but

have brought the third generation
OF some families around here into
the world"
When the aged doctor was in his
first years of practice here, his use
of horses often spared him some
physical strain in an almost "a
hour schedule.
He had a team he could trust to
take him home without his guild
ance.
CHATS one advantage we had
over the present-day doctors driv-
ing cars" he said. "The team

LONGER SKIRTS FORECAST
FOR COMING SEASON

OF all the problems about spring
clothes this season, the most puzz-
ling one is the matter of the new
skirt length. According to Miss Ade-
line NJ. Hoffman, extension cloth
ing specialist of the University of
Delaware, fashion leaders aren
exactly in agreement themselves on
what is the fashionable length, or
what change may occur by fall.
To be sure. continues Miss HOff-
man, the trend is toward longer
length. from the knee length of the
war years, but just how much
longer is the problem. The best
answer to date seems to be at least
two inches longer. or to the fullest
part of the calf of the leg. An exact
number of inches from the floor
can't be stated, because it would
have to be different for all people.
according to height Most fashion
writer's are now saying, ito mia

Dresses. suits and full length

wear should be selected with the
longer skirt length in mind. so they
won't be an questionable length by
fall
To lengthen last years skirts and
dresses that would be too short
now. Miss Hoffman offers several
suggestions:
Press out the old hem crease be-
fore changing the hemline, so the
dress won't look too "obviously
heightened"
For dresses that are dry cleaned
let down the entire hem when the
dress is sent to the dry cleaners
This will help in cleaning that part
OF the hem that shows the mark OF
the original turn. Then turn up the
hem where you want it when the
garment comes back from tn,
cleaners.
