COMPILATION OF EMPLOYEES
NOT MADE FOR PURPOSE
OF PATRONAGE
WASHINGTON, Jan., 27, (JP)~
A sternly worded denial came
quickly from the White House
after Jouett, house chairman of
the Democratic National Execu
tive Committee, who charged
President Hoover with compiling
information on government em
ployees for the purpose of bring
ing patronage influence to bear
against recalcitrant members of
Congress.
Walter Newton, secretary to
the President, said a card index
of presidential appointees and
other non-civil service employees,
is kept in the White House as a
matter of office routine.
Some eight months ago cards
were sent out for the purpose of
bringing the list up to date. The
democratic statement said Hoover
had sent cards to all departments
“to be filled out by every em
ployee giving a full history of
his employment.”

AVOID THAT ^
FUTURE SHADOW#
By refraining from over
indulgence, if you would
maintain the modern figure
Of fashion
Avoid the snags along the
common-sense path to fitness and
fashion. Don’t let over-indulgence
deprive you of the tantalizing con
tour of the modern figure. Be
moderate—be moderate in all
things, even in smoking. Eat
healthfully but not immoderately
—when your eyes are bigger than
your stomach, reach for a lucky
instead. Coming events cast their
shadows before. Avoid that future
shadow by avoiding over-indul
gence, if you would maintain the
graceful, modern figure with its
captivating curves.
lucky Strike, the finest Cigarette
you ever smoked, made of the
finest tobacco—The Cream of the
Crop—“IT’S TOASTED.” Every
one knows that heat purifies and
so “TOASTING” not only re
moves impurities but adds to the
flavor and improves the taste.

*Be Moderate!... Don’t jeopardize the modern form by drastic diets, harmful reducing girdles, fake reducing tab
lets or other quack “anti-fat” remedies condemned by the Medical profession! Millions of dollars each year are
wasted on these ridiculous and dangerous nostrums. Be Sensible! Be Moderate! We do not represent that smok
ing Strike Cigarettes wrill bring modern figures or cause the reduction of flesh. We do declare that when
tempted to do yourself too well, if you will “Reach for a Lucky” instead, you will thus avoid over-indulgence
in things that cause excess w'eight and, by avoiding over-indulgence, maintain a modern, graceful form.
