Husbands— some 200 of them—are on their good behavior to earn Thanksgiving din- ners and are scattering sweetness and light at home to show they can keep the faith. Behind it all is Judge Robert J. Dunne of the Stockyards Police Court, who set November 27 for hearing all disorderly conduct com- plaints this month. - Charges will be dismissed, he said, if wives testity their husbands have mended their ways. If not, the overboisterous ones will spend Thanksgiving day in the | bridewell. Width Held Best Index to Proper Weight of Body Stanford Examiner Says Hip Dimension Is Table Guide. By the Associated Press. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif., November 13.—If you're worried about your weight, as compared with the average for your height, forget it— eonsider your width. That's the advice of Dr. Helen Brenton Pryor, assistant women's medical examiner at Stanford, who has worked out “width-weight” tables based on five years’ study and tabu- lation of some 10,000 children and college students. Instead of one “normal” weight, as given on height tables, her scales give seven ‘“averages,” based on width as well as height. > Width—technically the bi-iliac di- ameter—is the measurement at the crest of the hip bones with sliding calipers, on the same principle as measuring & marble with a monkey- ‘wrench. Thus, for instance, a girl of 18 who is 5 feet 4 inches tall might normally weight as little as 107 pounds if her bi- iliac diameter is 9.6 inches, or as much as 133 pounds if she measures as much as 12.2 inches. of lhe)' . | Views of the News P.M.

A woman’s days are not all alike. There are difficult days when some women suffer too severely ) | o conceal it. There didn’t used to be anything to do about it. It is estimated that fully eight million had to suffer month after month. Today, a million have i accepted the'relief offered by Midol. Are you a martyr to regular pain? Must you favor yourself, and save vourself, certain days of every month? Midol might have you rid- ing horseback.

Of course, a smart woman will not try every pill or tablet somebody says is good for periodic pain. But Midol is recommended by specialists. It can form no habit because s not a narcotic. Taken in time, it often avoids the pain altogether. But Midol is effective even when the ram has caught you unaware and has reached its height. It’s elfective for hours, so two tablets should see you through your worst day. You'll find Midol in any drug store.
