erything she eats nnd saves a sam
ple for analysis. The purpose of
the study is to determine the
utilization of protein, calcium,
phosphorus, Iron ("id copper by
the body. Dr. Leverton says,
"Much needs to be learned about
the body's needs and use of these
dietary essentials (luring the years
of late adolescence und early adult
hood." Several universities are word
ing on a similar study in the hope
ot being able to find out the diet
ary requirements of college wom

name of Brown from out Gcring
way is going steady with a
smooth Theta by the name of
Husted? If not, do you suppose
Mary Helen would consider dat

Dear Just Another D. U.:
If she is going steady she cer
tainly is keeping it a secret from
the rest of her sorority sisters.
The only other thing standing in
your way is the question .13 to
whether she would date you or not
and you round very confident, po
go to it. If you're such a wonder
ful dancer, maybe some others
would like a break too.

AS JOIISNY SEES IT
(Thi.i !s the second of a scries
of two urticles on women's apparel
by John Howell. Today's discus
sion concerns the relation of tho
skirt to the hose.)
In the first of these articles 1
pointed out that the condition of
the stock market was the barom
eter which Indicates the length of
women's skirts. The length varies
directly with the market. If the
market is up, the skirt is up.
The relation of the skirt to the
hose presents a problem of deep
social significance, one which will
need the services of another Hen
ry Clay if the flimsy skeleton of
morality in the United States is
to endure.
Women's hose manufacturers
have followed in the footsteps of
the skirt makers In regulating the
length of their hose. They, too,
depend on the condition of the
stock market to Indicate whether
more or less silk is going into this
year's sock.
Taking thesp two elements into
1 onslderntion, I have foreseen a
horrifying result. As skirts began
to get shorter n couple of years
ago so did hose. But skirts go
up the limb and socks go down as
they become shorter. Herein lies
the danger In such practices.
