Short full figured girls can choose the single breasted nits that give the illusion of slenderness. Those who are slender and tall will like double breasted fashions that pad the figure. Coat Styles Solve Figure Problems Those who are short and heavy may well borrow a tip from the expert on wearing coats properly. The advice is .this: never wear your coat or Jacket open as it will draw attention to the inslde figure. The long, unbroken front of a closed coat can do much to give the illusion of slenderness. ' The easy fitting coats, the half belts and fabrics which help to give the slender silhouette are widely available now. Short stout figures should make a special effort to shop for them. Thick, bulky, textured fabrics taboo on large figures. The sheer fabrics which are now making fashion news come as a big help for those who want to cut down their size.

Since taking up my new responsibilities with Red Cross in October, I have visited a large number of cities from coast to coast conferring with Red Cross leaders. I found in most regions the blood program of the Red Cross aroused greater interest and made a greater appeal to tha Red Cross workers than any other activity at this time. They felt that they were making a very important contribution to tho health of the people and were establishing the organised framework to meet any great disaster Instantly ahd effectively in this phase of relief. A national military emergency might possibly require more blood In one week than all our requirements during one year of the late war. In a great emergency, volunteer donors would come forward to tha desired numbers, but without the framework of the system now being progressively established, the contributions of these volunteers Divorce Is as Much a State . . .

Another blood derivative is said to be Invaluable in treatment of shock, burns, and certain kidney and liver ailments, and there still are others now In use or being clin- ically tested for future availability. Most of this fractionation to date has been done with surplus war plasma returned to tho Red Cross by the army and navy. In one case, a ship that had been sunk in Manila Bay was raised and tho plasma aboard was found to be in satisfactory condition for this fractionation. But today thla supply Is about exhausted. Therefore, the national blood program is being stepped up to meet this special need. It la estimated that a donation of one pint of blood from one out of every 25 American adults will be required each year to meet the nations normal demands for whole blood and blood fractions. People have asked mo why tho Red Croat does not require replacement by tho recipient's friends or family. To demand replacement to kind, rather than replenishment, or to make any charge whatever for blood which has been donated voluntarily would be a departure from the basic Red Cross principle of helping people solely on tho basis of need. Soma people ask why tha program must operate on n nationwide basis. The answer is simple.
