handling of traffic tickets.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
District Engineer Commissioner,
announced this plan during the
weekly Commissioners Report"

United States Chamber of Com
merce building.
The Commissioner said he has
not yet worked out details for the
idea in which the three jurisdic-
tions would honor each others
traffic tickets. He said this can
be the subject of discussion with
State authorities should they
prove interested in reciprocal
traffic ticket agreement among
the three Jurisdictions.
Tells of Traffic Advances.
In a statement released yes
terday, Gen. Prentiss outlined
advances in the last year in
Metropolitan Area efforts to
solve the traffic problem. Among
these forward steps, he said,
were:
Adoption Of a new require
ment that District drivers over
the age of IS be re-examined on
their driving capabilities; eStab-
lishment by Maryland of a CEN
trail accident record bureau and
the lowering of truck speed
limits to ten miles per hour less
than the limit for passenger
vehicles; institution by Virginia
of a compulsory Jail sentence for
those convicted of driving after
suspension or revocation of per-
NIT.

conference tomorrow will be Rep
resentative Broyhill, Republican,

ment. drivers licenses and We

Prints for Your Walls

per, flower prints cover the
, wall. You can buy these in
either books or portfolios, de-
pending upon the size desired.
Measure the wall space you
wish to cover, measure the
print size, and see how many
prints are available for use.
With this information you can
figure exactly where each prin
is to go. Be sure to mark the
placement Of the prints on
the wall, before actually ap-
plying them, so that an error
in measurement can be easily
corrected.
Use wallpaper paste to afix
the prints to the wall. A coat
Of clear shellac will guaran-
tee their security and protect
the surface. However, bear In
mind that even clear shellac
will darken the white paper
somewhat.

Potent Influence

What is the most potent in
duence on modern fashion? Wars,
women's rights, the movies? No,
says fashion designer Hattie Car
negie, it's the automobile.
For 40 years, since much Of
our life has been lived on wheels,
no fashion could succeed unless
it fitted into motorized living as
we'll as onto the feminine figure,
said Miss Carnegie. Long feath-
ers, hairpins, hatpins, hobble
skirts and ramrod corsets went
and they will never come back.
No designer today would think of
making skirts longer than 10
inches from the ground. Auto
mobiles have even had an infiu-
ence on fabrics: crease-resistance
and easy cleaning have become as
important as texture and color. |"

Why Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

A recent letter reminded me
that 1t has been a long time
since / have written about the
too-thin neck. Even women who
have the correct weight often
have bony looking necks and
shoulders. The reader whose
letter / mention admits to un-
derweight. but says that her
neck and shoulders worry her
most, that she cannot wear an
evening gown or swim suit with
self-confidence.
Naturally. a few more pounds
would help the situation greatly.
However, there are also some
exercises which will help fill out
contour.
For the neck: Stand tall with
your arms hanging at your shoes
chest up, stomach in and hips
under. Raise the right arm up
ward as you lower your head
to the right. touching your ear
to your arm. Palm of the right
hand is toward the head. Lower
the arm and straighten the
neck. Repeat this exercise 10
times slowly. Do the same thing
with the left arm, lowering the
head to the left.
Neck exercises are also help
full in building up contour in
this spot.
For the shoulders: Raise the
arms forward, shoulder height
and shoulder width apart, palms
facing each other. Swing the
arms backward in a relaxed
manner. still shoulder height
and palms facing forward. Re-
turn arms to front, shoulder
height position. Continue. The
elbows are straight but not stiff
and the arms are relaxed. You
should feel the main activity in
the shoulders.
If your problem Is under
weight, you may want my Nine
Day Gaining Diet. If so, send a
self-addressed, stamped envelope
with your request for leaf1et No.
