Slightly-Larger-Than-Average Bust-

€

But, no matter how embarrassed they are about this problem, they think little or nothing can be done about it, and calmly resign themselves to. having an out-of-propor-tion silhouette. As a matter of act, this is one of the easiest of all Apeoviems to solve. All it takes is little care and the proper fit. Unfortunately,” it can’t be solved by saying, “I'll take a brassiere, size 86, and I don’t bother to try it on.” Trying the brassiere on is just about the most important part of

solving the problem, and size 36 is|.

only one of the sizes of the ‘brassiere! Brassieres come in various depths or cup sizes—A, B, C or D —and the proper depth size is just as vital to correct fit -as the allaround figure size!

“A figure with a slightly larger than average bustline takes a C-cup size. But it must be tried on to obtain the exact around-the-figure size. Because, if the brassiere is fitted too tightly, the bustline—and very unbecomingly, too—will bulge out at the top and the bottom, giving a roll effect that would ruin any silhouette. It will also eliminate any suggestion of a natural center division; make the bustline look both full and flat (something like a shelf), and completely destroy all semblance of a natural, divided and ed contour. Qn the other hand, the brassiere is fitted too loosely, ‘there will be too much material, a sloppy look, little or no shape and the bustline will look larger than it really is!

One of the best solutions we have found to this problem is the Bali sketched here. It is a sup size. It is fashioned of a broadcloth (material is very important in this brassiere) which helps to keep tissues firm, and just as important, if tissues are broken down, gives them a firm uplift support from underneath, which in turn gives a lovely uplift line. It has also, a a specially designed *“‘bowknot” cen which divides

ADVERTISING BY U, $. 1S URGED

Bankhead Bill Would 0. K. Millions for Space in

Newspapers.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 7.—Senator John H. Bankhead «(D. Ala.) to-

: |day completed a first draft of his

bill ordering the U. S. treasury to

® | spend from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000

annually for newspaper advertising. According to the present draft the treasury must spend the money advertising bond sales and the like, and “not less than half must go to

weekly newspapers.” A leading exponent of this forcedadvertising plan is Senator Raymond E. Willis (R, Ind.), publisher of the Steuben county Republican at Angola, Ind. He says the smaller papers need help now, but that they want no part of a government subsidy. Having the government spend money for advertising “which might not otherwise be published” may be the answer to the problem, Senator Willis said. He calls this plan a means of “channeling information to the public without compromising

the editorial policy of the newspa-|

pers or establishing the embarrassing inference of a subsidy.”

Hoosier Editors Balk Senator Willis confessed, however, that when he outlined his ideas to Republican editors in his state at a recent meeting in’ Indianapolis “they backed right away from it.” So far as he knows the plan has

no editorial support anywhere, he

said. Senator Bankhead is studying a proposed expansion of his bill to include radio advertising. Back in the ‘20s the Indiana legislature, at the joint instigation of the state’s Republican Editorial and Democratic Editorial associations, passed a law requiring that all county “legal ads” be carried in

$3000 LOST TO CITY BY ERROR

Judge Rules 15-Year Old Sewer Assessment Can’t Be Collected.

The city has lost $3000 in sewer assessments through an error made by the hoard of works back in 1928, Judge Earl R. Cox, of circuit court ruled yesterday. As a result of the error and subsequent failures to correct it, the Marcy Village apartment company

on E, 46th st, is now using the

city’s sewers free of any assessments. After Marcy Village tapped into the 46th st. sewer in 1940 the city discovered that previous owners of the real estate in that vicinity had never paid the sewer assessment and a search of the records showed that the board of works had suspended the assessments ostensibly because the property at that time was not improved. Attorneys for the apartment company brought suit to clear the argument and Judge Cox ruled that the city cannot collect the back assessments.

THE INDIA APoLIS TONES

By ROSEMARY REDDING

What are we reading? Just about any history or travel book that will give us some idea of the country or people where our menfolk are or might be. We want books that tell us about the climate, the people, the religion of North Africa and Ireland, of Australia and those islands in the southwest Pacific. And most of all we want to know about “foreign” food—even though husbands and sons get good American dishes in the army, navy and

| the marines.

"Librarian Sees Trend

We ask for such books at the public libraries. Circulation figures don’t necessarily show that. But Luther Dickerson, the librarian, keeps a steady finger on the reading pulse in Indianapolis and he believes that the subject of greatest interest today are geography and travel and history. Even the boys and girls are asking for “something about Dakar or Martinique.” And they proudly say to the patient branch librarians . “My brother's a soldier there.” Usually they aren’t at all sure where he is. Neither are parents, But they suspect he may be at such a place and want to find out what it’s like “over there.” More of this interest is evidence

up in the reference room. People

are looking at the big world globe and the map as never before. They want personal experience books too—the kind foreign correspondents write—about what goes on across the sea. » Add to all this the new demand for technical books and it isn't difficult to see how our readingtaste has changed in wartime from one of a demand for fiction to one for more non-fiction. Normally, a large library will have a 60 per cent demand for fiction and 40 per cent for non-fiction. But fiction has been losing ground by the month until now we're asking for 51.7 per cent non-fiction and 48.3 per cent fiction or “escape” literature. Along about October the non-fiction group took the lead and has been gradually increasing in popularity.

Patronage Drops

¢ . Generally, we're reading about 15 per cent less than we did about a year ago. That's the figure based of the library circulation. Why? Mr. Dickerson has ‘two logical reasons. One, gas rationing has not made it easy to get to the library; two, more people are working, some longer hours, some irregular hours. Many are too tired to read when the work day is over. Fewer people are coming to the library for books, too. But those

that do come, get more books.

Men - anticipating calls / armed forces ask for them, One of the most popular of the lot is a little book called “Mathematics for Pilot Trainees.”

Where several members of the family once came, now one member will take out books for the whole family.

The biggest gain in any one

classification has been in technical books—work books, books on jobs. Time was when these were considered the poor relations of the book family. Today they are the popular music of. world war II.

Draftees Seek Data Part’ of this upswing is due to

vast employment in war industries. The library here works in co-opera-tion with personnel directors. They. provide everything from pamphlets to books for everything from ome study to class work. They have several thousands copies of technical manuals put out by the war

department. Workers aren't the

asking for the technical} manuals.

Fim ones

“into the too.

There has been an increase in

the calls for personal experience books just within the last month. Read here are books like Cecil Brown’s “Suez to «Singapore,” William L. White's “They Were EXxpendable,” Joseph C. Grew’s ‘“Report From Tokyo.”

And “Berlin

Diary” is still among the thost popular. In fiction, readers want books like Lloyd C. Douglas’ “The Robe,” Marcia Davenport's “The Valley of Decision,” Franz Warfel's “Song of Bernadette” and Upton Sinclair's “Wide Is the Gate.” Although most people: seem to have a “thirst” for informative books with a war twist, the library does have .some callers who say they can’t read about the war. They will consider the political aspects but don’t want any of those books telling of the actual war side. Some. of them may have come too close to it by losing a son or a husband. The library doesn’t know and never prys. But Mr. Dickerson does anticipate an increase in that type of reader as the war progresses.

Books for Morale

The war department, Mr. Dickerson points out, is interested in promoting more and more reading, especially among women, to take their minds off “their worries.” He also understands that the OCD in Washington is toying with the idea of local OCD offices taking on the responsibility of encouraging people to read to keep informed and to build morale, “Studying other peoples and countries also would give individuals a background and insight for forming opinions about post-war settle-

ments,” he pointed out.
