First. a reply to the ques-

tunate enough to win a 81
inch compatible color tele-
vision set last April in a con-
test. i have enjoyed 1t very
much as have many friends
whom I invited to watch when
color shows we're televised.

than that on my black-and-

Second, thanks to the lady
who sent in the easy caramel

does it make a delicious FROST

powdered sugar, doubled the
recipe and added chopped

the result was wonderful cara

Mrs. r. L. ~, Washington
I don't think you could pick
a better time for the purchase
of a color television set. We
have one and couldn't be more
delighted with the color re-
ception. The colors are beau
tiful and we have been amazed
at how lifelike they are.
This fall there are so many
grand shows on we can't wait
to see them all. BY the way,
it's very easy to tune in the
colors. On the new sets there
need be very little "fiddling"
around with the dials.

WHY GROW OLD?
Remedy Leg Defects
With Some Exercises

what defects we have and do
all we can to remedy them.
The shape of the leg is to some
extent dictated by bone struc-
ture. However, fatty deposits,
flabbiness and muscles play
important parts in deciding leg
contour.
It has been estimated that
there should be a difference Of
from four to five inches be-
tween the measurements Of
the calf and the ankles for
perfect legs. The thig h S
should be six or seven inches
larger than the calves. OF
course this only gives you a
yardStick with which to Judge
the perfection of your legs.
If you find that your under
pinnings are far out of line
you can improve the situation
with special exercises. The
following one is splendid for

Long ago a LADY" never

ton. If it became necessary for
some reason to indicate that
her body was not suspended
in mid air she spoke of them
as limbs"
For a long time now fashion
has put the spotlight of atten-
ton and conversation on legs.
American women are apt to
become SNUG about their legs
because they long have en-
joyed a reputation for shapely
supports. We often read de-
scriptions Of the American leg
such as theSe-"The long
sweep from hip to knee" or
"the beautifully shaped. long

Hog prices are due to continue
downward. as usual at this time Of
the year. but late fall market pros
poets are more encouraging than
they were last year at this time.
Last year the low came about the
second week in December. This
year it may come earlier and will
be on higher level.
That prediction is based on the
fact that federal inspected slaughter
has been higher in September than
it was last year-eight per cent for
the week ending September 8; six
per cent above for the week ending
September l5-yet the spring pig
crop was eight per cent less than
last year. So these earlier market
ings may be felt in lighter receipts
than had been expected on the late
fall market.

aged ten cents up at $l6.75; Balti-
more unchanged at $3.50; Ric h.

Speck on the horizon. When he
finally went below to his charts he
Still could not get it out OF his

But there was something he
could do to satisfy his curiosity
He motioned to seaman and in
seconds the signal blinker was in
operation, throwing its strong beam
out over the water.
In rapid succession the signal de-
clared: PROVIDENCE-MER
CHANT-ARE YOU RECEIVING?
But there was no answer, only the
darkness and the light from the
Providence. Captain Little sighed
and went below.
The next morning he was on the
bridge as the sun broke out Of the
horizon and began its steady climb.
Once again he picked up the glass
es and squinted into the already
dispensing haze. This time there
could be no mistake. There was
something out therel

"Yesi And put out boat. Take
six men with you. Maybe it's al

Quietly the master reproa ched
himself for not believing what his
eyes had told him yesterday, when
he had first spotted something out
there A night on the ocean for the
occupants of lifeboat could mean
life or death.
Hours later, if seemed, Worth'S

filled with other men and four
women. Little hurried down to the
main deck and watched as his sea-
men helped the new passengers
aboard Finally, one Of them, a
tall. lean man dressed in yachts
mans uniform came up to him and
Wrung his hand.

l was around, sir 1t must have
been quite an experience.
Indeed it was. Captain Little,

But he had seen something yester-

that it was the lifeboat.

Conroy shook his head. Why,
no. l don't understand.
Captain Little said nothing. He
could not understand, either. And
if he had been anything but sea
captain it would have amazed him.
But stranger things than that have
happened on the broad, sweeping
Atlantic Any sailor could testify
to that.
