A far cry from the strictly
utilitarian c0ver-alls Of the
last war when women worked
in factories is the new one
piece lounge design that
couldn't be more fiattering
to the wearer.
Should Santa drop a big
box containing a really ter
rife at-home leisure costume,
make the most of it. Wear it
and If you're a busy mother
who reasons who's got time
to lounge?" then re-evaluate
your thinking.

ers-men don't like to think
Of their wives as drudges.
They prefer thinking Of them
as glamorous creatures. So
when he takes the trouble
to consider this and gets the
prettiest at-home outfit he
can find for q Christmas gift,
1t may be his way Of telling
you he'd love to always have
you looking that pampered.
The downright attractive
ness Of well-fitted lounging
trousers. combined with a
blouse that can double for
wear with other wardrobe
items. is very apparent this

Young Offenders
In New York HurI
Chuirs at JUDGES

NEW YORK. Sept. IS Up
A Brooklyn judge says teen
age defendants have been
brazenly defying the law in
Children's Court - hurting
chairs and inkwells and threat
ening the lives Of presiding
justices.
Kings County Judge Samuel
s. Leibowitz cited examples Of
juvenile disrespect yesterday as
he charged two grand juries
on methods Of dealing with
youthful offenders.
Judge Leibowitz said the
ir-throwing occurred In
Queens q few months ago. He
said the chair struck the Judge
on the head and nobody ever
heard q word about it."
Presiding Justice John War
rem Hill Of Domestic Relations
Court. Queried about violent
teen-agers before the bench,
said: Il can't say the incidents
are particularly new. although
there is no question that they
do sometimes occur"
Judge Leibowitz said he knew
of one judge being warned by
q youth that he would kill
him If he met him on the
street."
I've had them stand before
me In court and spit at me, "
Judge Leibowitz added. II
don't believe in brutality or
club-swinging, but / think it's
the height of insanity to treat
them with creampuffs."

the general clockwise motion
around the Pacific. Los Angeles
is moving north at the same
rate.
Long Observation Needed
Three or four centuries of
observations will be necessary
before sense can be made of
the great rotation. DR.. Benioff
said. There is no evidence Of
the nature Of the force which
drives the wheel. Over great
periods. however, it becomes
very significant.
This world, an ellipsoid geoid,
is only very roughly round and
sea level has very little mean
ing, according to reports at
another symposium. 1t generally
is customary to refer all alti-
tudes to sea level. as was a
perfectly smooth surface all
over the world. Actually, 1t is
extremely bumpy. There are
sea level hills where there is
heavy weight under the sea
bottom and valleys where there
are light rocks.
Consequently most attitudes

land. since he has been at Ohio
University as a visiting pro-
fessor he has found that alti-
tudes in the State are as much
as 40 feet out. Surface dis
tances are affected nearly as
badly. Many islands are q
mile or more out on the best
maps. This is because the as
Economical observations used in
surveying are thrown out by
the hills and valleys on the
geoid's surface,
Uncertainty Reduced
Distance between North
America and Europe is not
known to within 500 feet. it
was stressed by DR.. B. C.
Browne Of Cambridge Univer-
sity. This has been somewhat
improved recently by electronic
measurements of distances be-
tween Norway. Scotland. Ice
land and Greenland. Over this
part Of the route the uncer-
tainty may have been reduced
to about 100 feet.
The great drawback to
knowledge of the shape of the
geoid. or mean sea level, is lack
Iof gravity observations at sea.
These can be made reliably
only from a submerged sub
marine and remain quite few.
The variations in the geoid
surface are becoming of much
practical Importance, Brig.
Gen. w. M. Bomford of the
British Army reported, because
|of erroneous attitudes above
sea level given great mountains.
These, he believes. may be
cause Of many plane crashes.
