BY HELEN JAMESON

When a woman starts to lose her
youthful figure, it Is amidships that
ugly lines appear. If you md it a
bit difficult to zip your frock
take warning. Unless something is
done, this time next year you will
have to wear larger sizes. Catch
face and figure defects when they
are young. When they are estab-
lished they will have you licked
lashed to the mast.
The term "middle-aged figure"
just isn't fair, because there are
many women who have reached the
mid-channel period who have slen-
der shapes, carry themselves beau
tifully. When we hear the term we
visualize a woman with shapeless
torso, expanded waistline, an awk-
ward, bulging shelf below it. he
protruding abdomen is not always
a collection of fat cells; often it is
caused by sloppy carriage, the
wrong pose of the spinal column
and a musculative that has lost
tone, fallen into state of dissolu-
ton.
The medical profession has given
this disfiguring defect the name
enteroptosis. Fifty per lent of the
sisters of middle age have it, they
claim, and that is not credit to hem.
Had these women had systematic,
daily exercise through the years,
had they been mindful of posture,
so necessary to health, the fibers
below the waistline would have re-
manned strong and resilient:
An unattractive silhouette is not

charges of beating workman

The Communists, after holding
Mr.. Ward in Jail for more than
a month, have ordered him and
the nine other members of his
staff deported.
Other Nations Protesting.
Mr.. Acheson said that the re-
lease of the jailed men does not
affect the principle involved in
his request several days ago for
concerted protests by the 80 other
nations which have representa-
tives in China. He said most of
the countries to whom i the re-
quest was made are taking the re-
quested action.
Asked if he thought the United
States had "lost face" in the
Ward case and the detention OF
other Americans in China, Mr.
Acheson said he was not particu-
larly concerned with what he
termed that foolish Oriental idea
In response to another question
he said the British government
has not informed the State De-
partment of any plan to take ac-
ton regarding recognition of the
Chinese Communist regime.

The 24-hour general strike Is
similar to an eight-hour walkout

partly successful because anti
Communist workers stuck to their

The secretary emphasized that

NATIONS HEALTH PROBLEM

The necessity for some emphasis upon
mental health is clearly recognized when
we are told that 100000 persons in the
United States are in need of psychiatric
help of some type, that nearly half of all
hospital beds are occupied by mental pa
tients and that each year 10000 persons
are admitted to mental hospitals
DIR. Howard A. Rusk says that from
thirty to fifty per cent of all patients
consulting doctors have complaints due
in part to emotional disorders, that one
third of the disabling accidents occur
ring each year are due to personality
factors and that mental health undoubted-
ly plays predominant role in the 1,7OO,-
900 crimes committed yearly in the United
States.
In addition, the doctor suggests that
the problems of 100000 to 100000 chill
dren under eighteen who are sent to
juvenile courts each year, those of. 6OO,-
900 cases of chronic alcoholism and many
of those who are granted divorce, reflect
the predominant role that mental health
plays in these statistics.

MoNEY-LosINc COMPETITION

Before the turn Of the century Key
West experienced few price-cut wars but
they were exceedingly mild compared to
the war that is now raging between two
drugstores in Los Angeles. Since the war
started on April 81, the stores have served
meals for as little as one cent.
Prices are changing so fast in the
stores that a man, while ne was eating a
T-bone steak meal that would have cost
him 80 cents, found out, when he was
finished, that the price had dropped to 70
cents. 3d.
Owners of the stores have scouts Ito
keep the arrangements informed on the
decreased prices at each store. Last We'd
nesday, one store announced on a black
board that breakfast of bacon, toast and
coffee would be served for penny. A
moment later the other store announced
the serving of similar breakfast at
penny, so the manager of the first store
said he would serve a glass of orange juice
with the breakfast, and the other manager
added potato chips to the penny break
fast.
And so it goes on, and if it keeps up
long enough the owners will lose so much
money they will find it hard to keep in
business unless they come TO their senses.
No business can last long selling supplies
for less than what they cost.
But man is strange animal. Some
times he deliberately runs himself into the
red rather than bow to an opponent, and
in more serious matters men have frequent
ly lost their lives in determining to have
their way regardless of consequences.
In Key West in the early nineties, the
owner of clothing store said he was
ready to meet.any competition. All Gus
toners had to tell him was that they could
obtain articles cheaper elsewhere and
forthwith he reduced his prices. We had
frequent bargain days" in Key West at
that time, and as soon as one store an
nounced such a sale, several other stores
would follow suit. When they found out
one another's prices for certain goods, the
next day the price was sure to be reduced
cent or two at competing stores.
But cut-throat business is not profita-
bic business. It won't be long before the
managers of the two drugstores in Los
Angeles will realize how foolish they
have been and put an end to their money
losing competition.

HOGS HAVE A WAY

The Government of the United States,
with the consent Of Congress, has pledged
the Government to support the price of
hogs at 80 per cent of parity. The hogs
must be marketed when matured if the
farmer is to get maximum return when
the bumper hog crop is due next autumn
1t seems that this commits the Govern
ment to buy $75,000,000 to $100,000,OO0
worth of pork this year in supporting hog
prices under the present program. What
hogs the politicians who are running the
Government seem to be.
And that's not all the story, farm-sur-
plus support this year will cost the taxpay-
ers billions Of dollars.
