BY Idah McGlone Gibson

One Of the greatest detriments to
reducing is ones friends. OF course,
they try to be kind, but they urge
all sorts of food upon you saying,
ooh, a little of this won't hurt you.
You can eat luncheon or dinner to-
night with us and begin again on
your regime"
Every time one gives in to that
kindly advice it means one has to
begin all over again.
After l had lost twenty pounds,
exercise became a Joy.
One never knows how many mus
cles one has let atrophy until one
tries to use all of them.
Before I get up in the morning
1 stretch myself. I take hold Of the
low head board Of my bed and then
I try to touch the foot board with
my toes. After you have done this
five or six times you will find your
self covered with perspiration.
Then I draw in my abdomen with
a long breath. Deep breathing is
absolutely essential to strengthening
the muscles of the abdomen.
While I am still in bed, and, by
the way, I sleep on the smallest Of
pillows for fear of making a double
chin, I raise myself straight up to
a sitting posture, keeping my legs
from the hips down on the bed. l
do this without use of my hands.
[ am now ready for my hot bath.
When enc is reducing, two hot baths
with cold showers afterward daily
are not too many.
1 cleanse my face and hands with
cold cream, not forgetting to rub
my elbows carefully with cream. A
woman's elbows are telltales of age.
The next time you are at a party
lust count the elbows that are gray
and rough.
I go down my steps and back four
times a day and often walk the eight
blocks between my house and Holly
wood Blvd. up and down hill.
Learn to walk, and you mothers
who want lovely 6aught8s, make
them walk to school and back. Both
Young and old are forgetting how to
walk in these days Of motor cars.

Dogs of St. Bernard
Find Snou Handicap

The dogs to be found today in
the great and little st. Bernard
passes in Switzerland are of a
smaller and less striking type than
formerly. They are cross be-
tween the Newfoundland and the
sheep dog OF The Pyrenees. They
have been credited, however, with
rather more than they can perform,
says Charles Lincoln Preston in
the Motor Travel Magazine.
A Swiss professor of Geneva,
given to making adventurous cross
country journeys ON skis, relates
that On one occasion, when he was
within sight OF the great st. Ber
nard hospice, the dogs came rush
ing out, but were unable to reach
him through the soft snow, in
which they fioundered hopelessly.
He is Of the opinion that the uses
OF the famous dogs are more linn
tied than is popularity supposed.
One can conceive them as being
highly serviceable in tracking d
weary wayfarer overcome by sud
den blizzard on the road itself, but
even st. Bernard dogs cannot walk
over snow that is both deep and
soft.

Musical Genius Gaue
Piano to the World

Johann Sebastian Bach, one OF
the greatest of musical geniuses,
WAS ut one time Il piano tuner, and
ii was through his efforts that
music reached its present range, q
writer in Tire Kansas City Star in
forms us. Before Bacll's time niu-
sicians had only q limited number
of keys in which to write music,
as they could not time their instru-
mentS TO other keys, and as re-
suit all music written prior TO 100
is very much alike i'll tune. Bach
lahored eeaseIeSsly on the harpSi-
chord, fOrerunncr of the piano, I'M
til he discovered the lost notes hid
den in The strings. Then he began
TO write music in keys hitherto I'M
known to his compatriots. At first
they did not take kindly to his var
iations of chords and intermiying
of many strange sounds and called
him Il musical fanatic. Later, how
ever, Mozart, upon hearing one of
Bach's pieces, exclaimed: THANK
Heaven, here at last is Something
new chat ! can learn from" Then
followed such great masters as
Chopin, Schumann, List and Ru-
bernstein who adored and played
Bach.

Jury Upheld Whitman
in Emphatic Manner

In all his life Whitman was in
court but once, and that was rather
a joke. While fishing in a pond
near Babylon one day, not far from
his fathers farm, he was continu-
ally annoyed by mischieyous boy
determined to have his fun, If not
at the expense of the fish then at
Whitmans. Finally exasperated,
the latter coaxed the lad to row
near in his boat, and then admin
1stered sound thrashing with his
rod. The culprit'S father had Walt
arrested, entrusting the prosecu-
ton OF the case in the justice court
TO Gen. Nicholas Uhall. Sure Of
himself, Whitman undertook his
own defense. He admitted the
thrashlng, but excused it on the
ground that he was defending the
vested rights of fishermen. The
jury, whose foreman was q hard
headed farmer with a Yorkshire
brogue, returned almost inmedi-
ately.
Have you arrived at o yerdict?"
asked the justice.
I'VE ave, your honor"
"What is the verdict?'
Eve find 'e didn't it i'm 'alf ard
enough"
Despite the repeated protest on
the part of the justice that the
form of the verdict was irregular,
the verdict Stood.-From "Whit-
man. an Interpretation In Maria

natural" says Adam Smith, that
what is usually the produce OF two

should be worth double what Is

Countess Salm
Enjoying Self as She
Awaits Counts Moves

Palm Beach, Fla. Feb. 12-(AP)--
Palm Beach was specializing to lay
over the next move Of Count Ludwig
Salm Hoogstraeten and his estrang-
ed wife, the former Millicent Rogers.
The count Is expected Sunday and
probably will make immediate use
of the order signed by Justice O'Mal-
ley in New York allowing him to see
his young son four afternoons week
between 2and o'clock.
Meantime the countess Is not lead
ing clustered existence. Two
nights ago she attended dance CIV
en- in honor of herself and her closest
friend, Mrs. Fiji Widener Leidy. She
attends theatres and supper clubs
and Is a regular attendant at the
weekly boxing bouts where she oc-
cupies a ringside seat.
She avoids the Casino beach, how
ever, taking her son, Peter, for a dip
each morning from the private beach
of the Pillsburys where she Is stop
ping.
She has intimated through friends
that she does not expect the count to
attempt to force an unwelcome inter-
view with her, adding that she al
ways has found him to be a. gentle
man and that should she meet him in
a public place she might even ac-
knowledge his presence by slight
nod.
The countess, however, appears to
be the only person in Palm Beach
who is not excited over the counts
approaching visit.
