Hips
How To Be Beautiful BY
Exercising for Perfect
Hip Lines.
BY Lucrezia B0ri,

Member of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, and Admired for Her
Beauty as Well as for Her Art.
The Washington times., 1922-08-25

@SLIM hips are coveted by
- every woman who wishes a
beautiful figure.
Wide, awkwards hips could
never lay claim to beauty, but
1ust now there is an added reason
for desiring hips as slim as ac-
tivity and unceasing effort can
make them.
The new fall silhouette re-
quires simmer hips than ever.
This is the reason why every up
to-the-minute woman will study
her figure in the mirror in her
most critical manner. She Will
look over her shoulder at the
back view. II she goes about 1t
correctly, and then she will turn
slowly about and watch her re-
Election.
OF course, you may happen to
belong to the class Of women
who can tell without a second
glance that their hips have COL
lected more fat than fashion and
uniformity permit. In this case
you will not need such close
scrutiny before you decide on the
course of action to take.
But before we go into this let
me talk to you more Explicitly
about the new silhouette. 1t will
be more or less straight fran
shoulder to knee. a combination
of the styles of 1880 and the
Spanish dancing girls costume.
This latter influence 10 seen In
the circular skirts and the skirts
with fullness across the front and
plain backs.
This note Of leaving backs and
sides perfectly fiat is much
stressed. 1t is also the trend OF
fashion which brings out the need
OF simmer and flatter hips.
When dresses were full and gave
only a suggestion Of the figure
beneath. the imperfect figure could
get by as much better than II
really was. For where only a sug-
gestion is given, the mind Is prone
to imagine that which Is ideal.
But in a frock where the material
is drawn closely about the figure,
Il is the reality which counts.
II your hips are trim and fiat
you will glory in them. II not,
you can start now to bring them
as near perfection as possible.
This exercise l am giving You
Is very simple, but II can be very
effective in its results II you will
follow 1t carefully.
Because the exercise Is easily
done, you can put more effort into
making each movement clear-cut
and decisive, which will tell in the
amount Of fatty tissue worn down.
Stand perfectly straight, chest
high and back flat, heels together
and hands on hips.
With all your weight on your
right leg swing your left leg slowly
sideways until your foot Is raised
as far up as you can get it. Now
slowly replace it.
When your muscles feel tired,
which will be very shortly until
you get in training, shift your
weight to your left leg and do the
same swinging exercises with your
right leg.
Keep this up faithfully, doing 1t
morning and night, and II you
have a chance in between times a
few healthy swings will help the
good work along.
Another Of these informative
articles will appear on Monday.

DRY NAVY SEIZURES
TO SUPREME COURT
Ruling Expected Soon on ju-
risdiction Beyond Three
Mile Limit.
BOSTON CASE 'cERTIFIED'
Early Action Sought Because Of
Britain's Intention to Demand
Release Of Rum Ships.

The question Of United States juris-
diction over foreign vessels engaged
in illegal activities particularly
those relating to importation Of
liquor into this country-outside the
three-mile limit is expected to be de-
cided by the United States Supreme
Court at an early date, according to
the Associated Press. Information
has been received here that Judge
James NJ. Morton of the federal court
of Boston had certified" the question
to the Supreme Court in the case Of
the schooner Grace and Ruby.
The Supreme Court meets Monday
the opening Of the october term. The
government is prepared to ask for
expeditions consideration OF the ques-
ton on the ground that tho question
involved constitutes the crux Of the
prohibition enforcement campaign
along the coast line.
Necessity for early action was in
creased by information that the Brit
ish government was about to request
the release Of all vessels OF British
or Dominion registry which have
been seized beyond the three.mile

while engaged in traffic with the
shore through the medium Of their
own boats. The British decision was
based, it was said. on recent instruc-
tions from President Harding to Pro
hibition Commissioner Haynes and to
officials of the customs service that
they must confine their operations
against foreign shipping to the
marine limit hxed by international
law.
Judge Morton, in sending the Grace
and Ruby case to the Supreme Court,
set forth that the question which he
desired to have ruled upon was
| whether his court had jurisdiction of
libels for forfeiture and for penalties

Allen Sainsbury, Reedsburg, s
doing 80 days in the Sauk County bas-
tile in this city. The cause of the
cOnfneemnt of the Second City resi-
dent is explained as follows in the
Reedsburg Times:
Allen Sainsbury stirred up a bit
of excitement when he provoked an
alteration with an acquaintance
on Main street. He was still in an ar
gumentive mood when Marshal Stowe
arrived, Sainsbury was full of moon
shine or some other powerful agency
which prompted him to beat it. The
marshal used his gun to enforce his
side of tre argument, but the other
party kept on running. He was found
later lying back of a barn and was
placed in the city's strong room. The
following morning he was taken be-
fore Judge Claridge, where he was as
sessed a fine of $4,000 and costs,
which amounted to about $1,000
more In default of payment he was
sent to the county Jail, BaraboO for
a thirty day vacation.
