BEAUTY HINTS
STARVE For BEAUTY

Beautiful women, at the pres
ent time, are slender women.
Once upon a time, the rounded
figure was considered a thing
of beauty-not now. 1t is the
graceful and slight body that
compels attention, admiration
and love. Therefore, be wise.
Don't reach for that box Of
candy, that rich dessert, that
extra helping Of creamed lob
ster, but close your eyes to these
things and remember that to
be beautiful you must oftimes
go without a tasty bit, or even
starve awhile for beauty's sake.

Stock Prices Steadied
|By Demand for Auto
And Aircraft Shares
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 16-Quiet de-
mand for automobile and aircraft
shares steadied the stock market
today after an early squirt of sell
ing died down.
Scattered gains were mostly
fractional and losses still predom-
mated, but the market exhibited
definite signs of buoyancy.
Douglas Aircraft added more
than two points at a new high. It
soon was joined by others in that
group, then the automobiles perked
up with demand coming in for
General Motors and Chrysler.
There was some spirited buying
right at the opening followed by
weakness that turned the entire
market lower. Selling offers met
with little enthusiasm and trading
became quiet. .'.
The lull was pronounced after
three days of intense activity in
which prices dropped lower and
lower. Bid and asked prices ap-
peared on the quotations tape
for longer periods of time in the
trading lulls than in any market
since the slump started late Thurs
day. ,
Bullish sentiment was evidenced
by the pick UP in activity when
prices moved higher and compara-
tive dullness on the dips.
Prof1t-taking continued in the
'radio-television group. These is
sues have shown independent
strength for several days. Losses
were fractional with one or two
getting ahead at times.
+ Bonds were irregular in a mar
row range. In the over-the-
counter market, Government Sc
curitieS were trif1e lower as a re-
action to the United States Treas
ury announcement that it would
offer 20-month w notes to hold
ers of one-year 1A certificates.
The offering was interpreted as a
move to slightly higher interest
rates inasmuch as the Treasury
previously refunded one-year notes
