That's what a diet expert advises. I am go ing to completely ignore that old boy's advice.

No smart girl will pay to much attention to him. The ability to cook and serve food well is a fine thing for a woman to know, however, it is not of major im portance in making a marriage a happy one. Kissing is. When Jiandled by a clever woman the thrill of a kiss can last to pass the golden wedding day. The woman who understands love aliys has less touble holding a husband than a brilliant cook. Says She "So the stargazers say Libra women (September 22-October 22) have a sense of humor," writes a feminine subscriber. "Senses of humor vary.o Any thing that is subtle escapes a Libra woman. To be funny to her everything must ,be quite obvious and the joke must be on somebpdy else. A Libra can not enjoy a joke on herself. Aft er'all, isn't that the supreme test as to the possession of a sense of humor." Asking Queries, from clients. Q. Where in the Bible does it say that a man's wife should obey him? A.

Irritations Zippers that jam and type writer ribbons hard to change are still among the minor irrita tions in my life. Every time I mention- zippers that jam one manufacturer suggests I change to his product which he claims is "jamless." He seems to be a kindly fellow and I haven't the heart to tell him that it is his zippers that jam. And how! Speaking of typewriter difficul ties there was once on the mar ket a machine called the Hall Typewriter, which has no rib bon. Wonder what became of that remarkable machine?

It was Mrs. Stuch's third set of twins in 10 years. Four Months' Work Needed for Tax Bill Chicago (U.P.) The average wage-earner works four months out of the year just to square his tax bill, the Western Tax Coun cil reports. The council said the average earner today pays 34.4 per cent of his income in taxes to sup port federal, state, and local gov ernments. Frank E. Packard, executive vice-president of the council, said the increasingly large bite taken by taxes out of personal income shows the need for a con stitutional amendment limiting federal income tax rates. Packard reported ' that 30 state legislatures now have asked Congress to submit such a consti tutional amendment to the states for ratification, and that only twe more states must act to force congressional action. He said the Western Tax Coun cil will start work "early in 1956 when many of the legisla tures convene" to get the sup port' of two additional states.' Packard pointed out that "the biggest slice" of taxes goes to Washington. "Under the 16th Amendment, Washington can raise income tax rates to 100 , per cent and there would be no question of legality," Packard said. "This may be proper in wartime, but in peacetime we need a consti tutional ceiling on federal tax rates." Variable Rales for Expressway Proposed ' Chicago (U.P.) Variable rates like those in use for long distance phone calls have been recommended ,for a proposed eastern expressway. The proposal for the Delaware expressway near Philadelphia calls for lower charges on Sun days and at nights to encourage some drivers to travel during other than rush hours. . The American Society of Plan ning officials called the proposal noteworthy for two reasons: 1. It regards the toll chiefly as a way to regulate the amount of traffic and puts in second place the concept of the toll as a way to finance road-building. 2. It seeks to even out the amount of driving done " on a road by diverting some peak hour traffic to those times when fewer vehicles are in use. The report issued by the Phil adelphia Bureau of Municipal Research and the Eastern Divi sion of the Pennsylvania Econo my League suggests varying tolls according to the time of day, day of the week and even the season of the year. It also suggests different prices based on the number of passen gers a car is carrying aimed at making' it more expensive and therefore less attractive to have six cars with one passenger each than one car with six passengers.

Dynafl&zArf With all the big excitement of Buick's 1956 styling and power and ride and handling it's easy to overlook this fact: Gas mileage in the '56 Buicks takes a big step upward. One reason, of course, is the new power plant itself. Every new Buick cradles an advanced 322-cubic-inch V8 engine with the highest horsepowers,. Series for Series, in all Buick history. Yet every engine delivers more efficiency, and more usable power to the rear wheels because each one has a new double "Y" manifolding, and a new high in compression ratio. ' ' But the major reason for the happy news in gas mileage and for the new step-up in safety and thrills is Buick's latest version of Variable Pitch Dynaflow. In this airplane-principled transmission,- you always had a gas-saving cruising range and, at a switch of the pitch, a full-power getaway range. Now Buick engineers have brought to this cruising range what they call "double regeneration." It simply means a new ' way to make flowing oil add to its own velocity to build up driving force. Get 4-Seoson Comfort In your new Buick with FRIGIDAIRE CONDITIONING now at a new low price ' 'o now, you merely nudge the pedal to part throttle and new breakaway getaway. And since' you get this quicker, safer response in your normal cruising range where you don't use full power you get plenty more miles from every tankful of gas. , But when you do need sudden safety-surge for emergencies, you just floor the pedal to switch the pitch. Instantly, you're at full-power acceleration and it's the most thrilling safety measure in the land. ' How about coming in to try the most modern transmission yet? The absolute smoothness of this new Dynaflow is worth' a visit in itself. So you can be sure you're in for a wealth of wonderful surprises-for that's just the start of the best Buick yet. Can you make it this week? New Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only Dynaflow Buick builds today.
