POLITICAL CHIT-CHAT per-
tanning to the governors chair is
gradually getting warmer. A grand
stand play for the rocking chair vote
took boxing away from Texas fans.
The followers Of the manly art
should take a hitch in their belts
and use the same politics to bring
back boxing. They should make 1t
their business to find out Just how
each CT the ~guberatorial candidates
stands on the question Of legalized
boxing. From Guv'nor Dan they will
probably hear that he had no option
that he could not allow boxing in
Texas because it was against the
law. Tsk tsk. Be that as II may.
fans should start the ball rolling
now when politicians are free and
easy with their promises.
WHAT IS THE chief objection to
boxing? Its butality? II that Is the
grounds. then why permit wrestling2
O.. as for that matter. football? In
our opinion, -ther is more bone
crushing pain in wrestling any day
than boxing. You never hear a boxer
grooming in agony. That seams to be
three-quarters of a wrestling match.
TEX BECERRIL is lining up d
boxing card to be put on in Mata-
morcs May rs. He is planning TO
bring back the old Valley favorite
Battling Shaw. Without doubt
Shaw was one Of the best perform
ers ever to pull on a glove in VAL
ley circles. He took the measure OF
everything they brought him while
operating in Brownsville and Mer-
cedes rings. IN his last Valley battle
Shaw easily put away Johnny
Hughes, who at one time was a
veritable ogre to the lightweights.
The Battler made Hughes look like
a novice. using a dangling left 70

ANOTHER BOUT which had Val
ley fans keyed up to the last notch
was the Wymore-Shaw affair in
Brownsville. Shaw decisioned the
game Harrington chap in a convinc-
ing manner and almost scored a
lockout in the final stanza. Little
Dick was out for blood that night.
He opened up with an aggressive
furry which mad the fans tearing
UP their hats. He came in fast. with
his sturdy arms pumping like pis-
tons. However. he could not Unnect
solidly with the elusive Shaw who
~backpedaled and de-stepped. In
the meantime. the Batter was busy

his good work Is indicated by his

he has fought are Baby Joe Cans.

This Is as 1t should be, for neither
should take on the ideas of the other
entirely. There should be an inter-
change Of thoughts, the ideas Of one
modifying those Of the other with
pleasant reciprocity.
If each would keep an open mind and
be willing to see the others point Of
view, even though not agreeing unless
truly convinced, much marital unhhp-
piness would be averted. So often
neither tries to see the others point

BEAUTY CHATS

Supple Figure.

It Ia much better to have O nice fig
ure and a young one, than to have to
20 to all sorts Of trouble TO conceal Q
bad figure, by dress and restricted
choice of colors and by going to all
sorts of bother to sit and stand and
walk, so as to conceal ones fat points.
Here are some suggestions for keep
ing the figure young
Exercise, of course, Is all-important.
If you can get it by pleasant ways,
such as golf, tennis, rowing, swimming
you cannot do these thinGS-and even
II you do this Is still good idea
try these exercises ut home. They keep
the important parts Of the body flexible
and strong, hence your movements viii
be supple, and thus you viii look and
feel young, and you WIN be graceful.
Do all exercises partly undressed, OF
course: your body must be free to move
without binding corsets, or carriers or
clothing. Stand erect, hands UP over
the head. Bend, keeping the knees stin,
and touch the floor with the hands.
Do this six times.
Now take the breathing and arm
tensing exercises given the other day.
Now stand erect again, hands over
the head, bend down and sideways,
knees still, Is far as you can. Stand
erect, bend down and TO the other side.
Do this six times each day.
Stand with hands on the hips, feet
slightly apart. Rise up on, the balls Of
the feet. and slowly drop TO o squatting
poaition-so your body really rests on
the calves OF the legs and all your
weight IL on the balls Of the feet. II
you can't balance ut FIRST. hold on to
something until you are sure Of your
self and can do this easily. This Is for
hips and abdomen and leg muscles. Re-
peat 10 times.
Stand with hands on hips, and slow
ly twist the upper part Of the body
round, using the waist as pivot. This
fiattens the abdomen.
Mrs. II. J. D.-whenever your skin
Is very dry, message 1t with q little
cream or f1ne oil. The movements are
as follows: Start at base Of throat and
lift the muscles making strokes upward
over the cheek bones, and out to the
tip Of the chin; from corners Of the
mouth stroke upward over the cheeks
and back to the temples In q circular
movement; around and around the
eyes starting In each direction: upward
in front and back of the ears; upward
and across the forehead, and around the
throat starting again IN different d.
rections. End this by dashing very cold
water over the skin to close pores and
tone the skin.

Waist Muscles.


A great number Of women. particu-
larry young mothers, write me and
want to know II there isn't some way
to regain the lovely slender waist with
arm muscles which they once had.
The muscles Of the abdomen often sag,
thus causing an unlovely figure, which
Is particularly noticeable with the new
gowns. Others complain that the waist
muscles seem to have lost all their
suppleness, and loss of this Is most as
suredly sign that youth Is fieeting.
Fortunately, however, 1t isn't neces-
pleness II milady really wants to retain
1t badly enough to put forth some
real effort. But 1t does take effort.
It Is for this reason that daily exercises
are so necessary. Some seem to feel
that exercises are designed especially
for those who need to lose weight, but
the woman whose weight may be per-
feet viii find that exercises are just as
necessary II she would keep her figure
trim and supple.
The following exercises are planned
especially for keeping the waist mus
clee firm and supple. Those who con-
scientifically 60 through these every
morning and again at night will be well
repaid for the effort. q Lie fiat on
your back on the door, arms stretched
above your head. Slowly rise to q sit
ting position and swing your trunk and
arms forward until your fingers touch
the toes.
(2) Lie fiat on your back as before.
Rise 70 sitting position, then turn
the trunk to the left, bend obliquely
forward and touch the left toe with
your right fingers. Repeat, the trunk
bending and turning to the right,
touching the right toe with the left
hand. Repeat to II times.
CD Stand with feet together, bend
forward and touch your toes without
bending the knees. Raise your trunk,
fling your arms outward and back as
far as possible. Repeat from 8 to IL
times.
"a Lie fiat on your back with arms
stretched above the head. Raise the
left leg ct right angles with the body.
Repeat with right leg alternately from
to II times.
(S) Lie. nat on your back with arms
ct sides. Raise both legs and swing
them over the head until the toes
touch the floor. This n o splendid
all-around exercise for strengthening
the muscles and organs. It q rather
strenuous, however, and thS woman
who may have been neglecting her
exercises WIN have to begin It very
gradually. It may take some time
before she % supple enough TO reach
the floor with her toes. But when
she has accomplished this and win
continue the exercises daily, she VIII
