Finally, smaller caches Of this vital

There are plenty of folk who. while

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
Exercises for Health.
BY LOIS LEEDS.

All exercises aim to promote health
but some are more vital to physical mt
ness than others. Among the latter
that are of special importance to the
Bedentary worker are exercises that by
bringing into play the muscles around
the waist, hips and abdomen prevent
constipation and keep the figure from
becoming flabby.
am describing for you today several
such exercises that are adapted from the
training given to professional dancers
They are not easy to do at first, but
may be mastered by practice.
Exercise /. Stand with legs wide
apart. Bend left knee deeply, keeping
trunk erect and arms out at shoulder
level, right leg straight. Swing trunk
over to the left, letting the right arm
swing over the head and touch the floor
with the left hand. Raise trunk,
Etraighten left knee, bend right knee
and repeat exercise to the right, touch
ing the floor with the right hand. Swing
rhythmically from one position to the
u1her, This requires nice muscular con-
troll and cannot be accomplished at the
beginning Of practice. Do not be dis
couraged If you find it hard to keep
your balance at first. Repeat the ex-
ercise to 10 times on each side.
Exercise q. Stand with your back
against the foot of a bed or porch rail.
leg backward and sideways, knee
straight and brace the foot on top Of
the railing. Students OF dancing have
a bar attached to the wall that they
use for this exercise; this bar is higher
than I have indicated, but for our pur-
pose q greater height is not necessary.
Hold arms out at shoulder level. Swing

UphOlstery-Colored Uniforms
BY MARY MARSHALL.

uniforms actually produced just the op-
posite effect.
A few years ago most women seemed
to feel that conventional uniforms were
out of the question unless one kept at
least two or three maids. The maid
of all work certainly could not be ex-
pected to wear any sort OF uniform.
If she was a slip-shod, Indifferent sort
Of girl, she couldn't be persuaded to take
the trouble, and If she was thoroughly
efficient helper, she might feel that a
uniform was sign Of menial occupa-
ton.
Times have changed, however, and
girls who have chosen domestic occupa-
ton are usually quick to realize that
uniforms are becoming and smart and
add dignity to their profession. In the
modern small house or apartment 1t is
usually possible for the maid of all work
to finish the drudgery in the morning
and then play the role OF trim parlor
maid or waitress at tea time or dinner.
The sketch shows the type Of uniform
that Is considered correct at present Tor
the second girl" where two maids are
kept. or the maid of all work who essays
the double role of cook-waitresS. Blue
madras for mornings and usually for
luncheon, and black moire or Sateen FOR
evening are q conventional and wise
choice.
The new collar with ends Is just the
thing to give a new aspect to an old
blouse or frock You may make 1t OF
ribbon. crepe de chine or some other
thin silk. On a new blouse you are
planning to make you may want to
make the collar from the material of
which the blouse is to be made. It
may be made to fit any blouse with
v neckline. So just send me your
stamped, self-addressed envelope, and
will send you directions and sketch at
once.

Padding Up With Insulin.

Ynsulin is the name of the hormone
br internal secretion productd by groups
bf specialized cells (called the islands Of
Langerhans) in the pancreas or alb
dominal "sweetbread." The pancreas Is
a gland that secretes an important d.
geStive fluid which, delivered to the in
feStine q few inches beyond the lower
gateway Of the stomach, along with the
bile from the liver, carries on the di-
gestion Of carbohydrate (all kinds OF
sugar and Starch) and fat In the In
teStine.
The insulin produced by the special
lied cells in the pancreas is poured into
the blood stream. Its function is to
render the blood sugar combustible. All
carbohydrate food is converted by di-
Restion into a soluble form OF sugar,
called glucose, dextrose, or in the liver
the blood, the muscles and other tissues
where the sugar Is temporarily held or
stored, glycogen. An older name Tor

The blood of a man in normal con-

Everyday Law Cases
When Is Car Rental Company
Liable tor, Patrons Accident?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

While driving car he had rented
from company, Thomas Hart ran into
a pedestrian. Hart explained that he
was going at a moderate rate of speed
and approached the intersection slow
ly. He saw Mrs. Harris in time to
stop the car, but when he applied the
brakes they refused to hold and the
accident resulted.
On these facts Mrs. Harris sued the
company on the ground that it had
been negligent in that it had permitted
a car with defective brakes to be driven
on the streets, thereby endangering the
public.
The company contended that it was
not liable for the carelessness Of its
patrons. ..,...
The court. allowing Mrs. Harris to

I'm view of the fact that the car
was rented to be driven on the streets

be shed; ceremony ceased to mark the
last moments of the dying.
Hence it plainly appeared that what
the wisest in the ordinary course Of
things, and by common train OF
calamities, could never be taught,
namely, to bear them patiently-this, by
the excess Of those calamities, was now
grown q familiar lesson to the most
simple and unthinking. The conse-
Grated ground no longer containing
the numbers which we're continually
brought thither, especially as they were
desirous of laying every one in the
parts allotted to their families, they
were forced to dig trenches and to
put them in by hundreds, piling them
up tn~ rows, as goods are slowed In q
ship, and throwing in little earth till
they were filled to the top.
Not to rake any further into the
particulars of our misery, shall OBJ
serve that it Jared no better with the
adjacent country. For, to omit the
different castles about us, which pre-
sented the same view in miniature with
the city, you might see the poor dis
tresSed laborerS, with their families,
without either the plague of physicians
or help of servants, languiShing on the
highways, in the fields and in their
own homes and dying rather like cat
tie than human creatures, and growing
dissolute in their manners like the citi-
zen, and careless of everything, as sup
posing every day to be their last their
thoughts were not so much employed
how to improve as how to make use
of their substance for their present
support.
What can say more, If I return
to the city? Unless such was the
cruelty of heaven, and perhaps Of men,
that between March and July follow
ing, it Is supposed. and made pretty
certain, that upward of 100000 souls
perished in the city only, whereas. be-
fore that calamity. it was not sup
posed to have contained so many IN

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, January a.
The Emil Jannings rumor doesn't ole.
Flouted at first as one of the extrava-
gancies of the early days Of the talkle
scare, it seems now to be accepted that
Germany's greatest pantomimist Will
return to his own country.
Two more pictures to make-they
will have to be silent. Sound effects
can be interpolated, but JanningS Is
under contract to "a lot" which Is COM
mitted to 100 per cent talkies. And
that program will not be changed, par
ticularly in face of the fact that jan
nings' last made picture, artistic tri-
umph though it was, did not make
money in this country.
Movies are being made for money,
not with any altruistic artistic ideals in
mind. This Is business, not an insti-
tuition or a profession. And the men
at the helm of 1t have been collecting
golden eggs from the movie goose for
more than decade. Now comes new
goose and new crop of golden eggs.
And those who cannot move with the
change are out of luck.
Jannings, who has been getting more
than $4,000 a week in America, faces a
unique situation. No German company
can afford to pay him anything like
that. Pictures are made on far diff
ferent budget scale abroad. It would
be death to an American actor.
But the very thing which makes such
artists as Emil Jannings sustains them
when that artistry is threatened. jan
nings in his own country will be king
of the situation, as he has been in
Hollywood during the days of silent
pictures. .e
Stories were brought to him for his
approval He was surrounded by a
ring of advisers. He had to fight a
double ebattle-maintenance of his artis-
tic ideals and the struggle to keep from
repeating his triumphs by becoming a
slave to the Hollywood formula idea.
Conrad Veidt, cotemporary of jan
nings, is perhaps in the same boat.
Veidt, after much encouragement, sud-
denly found himself in the front rank
when his ability got a unique oppor-
tunity in the role of Gwynplaine, hero
of Hugo's masterpiece.
Veidt built himself q magnificent
home. The Hollywood goddess smiled
on him, and one enviable role after an
other came his way But what now?
