Few Legs Pretty Enough

say that they should not be
tolerated more than one time in
every 100 years. We've done our
stretch. Let the designers save
them for the year 2024.
when I think of all the help
you have given the women of
this nation, and the work we
have done to get attractive
figures. I am highly indignant
that a designer, with q stroke
OF the drawing pencil, can sell
manufacturers and some women
on a style which is so unattrac-
tive.
Can you do something? I
think you can, and I know that
there are hundreds of thousands
OF women depending on you"
A Simple Answer
am in there pitching! You
know. the answer is so simple.
You do not even have to be in
dignant. My daughter says, when
she does not like something, 81
wouldn't be. caught dead in it,"
Well, a lot Of women dncluding
mel are not going to be caught
dead or alive in them! Let those
who wish take them on. I think
the rest of us will have quite an
advantage!
suppose the woman who has
q thick waistline and a little bust
may find them attractive, but I
think she forgets one thing; few
legs and even fewer knees-are
pretty enough to stand the knee
length skirt.
My reader added postscript
to her letter which said, IT have
talked with q man about these
STYLES just this week, and he said
They've just now gotten the
women good looking again-why
ruin everything?'"
I feel sorry for designers! They
have to think up something new
all the time but let them think
up something new AND good
looking! They seem to forget
that women have grown up,
style-wise. We are big girls now.

I want to quote part Of a
letter wich came to me recently.
The writer was discussing the
current attempt to bring back
the ugly fashions Of the 20's.
She says,
Il believe that with your in
fluence you can help stop the
revival of the hideous styles OF
the 20's and keep women from
being sacked again.

quality in petroleum fuel A large contributor
to this quality is the special, expensive avia-
ton anti-knock fluid. In new Boron Supreme,
Soho makes this aviation anti-knock fluid
available to motorists for the first time any,
where, contributing to the exceptionally
highest rating of this gasoline.
The third important difference in Sohio
Boron Gasoline is a completely new, cleaner
burning hydrocarbon formula. This basic
change was made possible by Sohio's invest
ment of many millions of dollars in the most
modern refinery facilities.
The effects of the boron discovery, the avia-
ton anti-knock fluid and the new formula
have been tested in the laboratory, on the
road, and in day to-day driving. Boron Gaso-
line has been run ten times around the world
on the turnpike. Its beneficial effect on en-
gines has been checked by more than $4,000
laboratory observations. Sohioans have used
it in their own cars. And, finally, 1909 Ohio
drivers just like yourself agreed to use it and
report their experiences.

2 Of 3 Users Report Immediate
Performance Improvement

The 1909 Ohio drivers were told only that
they were using a new kind of motor fuel,
with no hint of what to look for.
Two out of three reporting on their expert
ences said they noticed immediate improve
ment in power, in pickup, or in smoothness.
Many said they noted the increased mileage.
And by far the great majority including
those who regularly used competitive gaso-
lines said they wished to continue using
this new gasoline when it became available.
During the past year, there has been great
deal of enthusiastic gasoline advertising, with
confusion resulting for much of the public

Hessian Fly Date
October. | Here

Hessian Fly, major pest of
Ohio wheat, has increased greatly
since one year ago. T. H. Parks,
Ohio State University extension
entomologist, says this pest can
become serious threat to this
years wheat crop if farmers get
in a hurry to sow.
He says the problem this fall
is greatly aggravated by excessive
amounts of volunteer wheat in
stubble fields where grain shatter-
ed from harvesting the 1854 wheat
crop.

ing" dates is an effective control,

Once in very great while, there comes to
an industry a discovery that thrusts aside
the limitations of the past and reveals
unexpected new horizons.
In the automotive field such discoveries were
the self-starter, the pneumatic tire, the all
steel body, the automatic transmission. In
the chemical industry, it was the development
of plastics. In aviation it was jet propulsion.
Now such advancement has come to the
petroleum field Today, Boron Gasoline takes
its place with other such important steps as
the discovery of tetraethyl lead and the
invention of catalytic refining
Boron Gasoline is a discovery that makes
obsolete even the finest of today's motor fuels
including the highest-rated gasoline sold in
Ohio-Sohio's previous premium gradel
The story of this new kind of gasoline begins
more than four years ago. Soho scientists
had then found that important engine bene-
fits would be available if the element boron
could be made usable in motor fuel Early
this year they solved the last problem; Boron
Supreme Gasoline is now a. reality avail
able at every Soho station.
