By IDA JEAN KAHN

If you are ambitious, two weeks
can work wonders on a wayward
waistline. So exercise with a pur-
pose. Knowing exactly what you
can expect of an exercise helps
you to get the most out of it, and
there is nothing like stretching,
twisting and bending for slim
inches without bulgeS.
Stretching pulls the bulges
apart, twisting squeezes the fat
pads, and bending reflexly con-
tracts the abdominal wall. Never
permit the abdominal muscles to
60 lax as you twist and bend.
Try this rotary twist: Arms
above your head, fingers locked.
Pull upward with your arms.
Now, holding this position and
without moving the hips, twist
to the right as far as you can,
then away around to the left.
Six times in each direction. It's
q simple exercise, but it will do
right by your figure.
With your arms stretched at
full length above your head and
feet apart, swing downward with
the trunk until the arms and head
pass as far as possible between
the knees. Now, swing up and
backward until your face is up
turned to the ceiling. Don't bend
your knees. Feel the tug at the
NaiStline?
If there is a pronounced bulge
Just north of the waistline here's

vocal part may be gained by the
following quotations:
soft and sweet tro' ether winging,
Sound the harmonieS Of life,
Their immortal flowers springing
Where the soul is free from
strife.
Oh! receive, ye joy-invited,
All it's blessings without guile,
When to love is pow'r united,
Then the gods approving smile. ."
The similarity of the ideas in
these lines to those of the choral
section of the Ninth Symphony"
may be observed. However, the
vocal demands of the fantasy are
not so great as those of the SYM
phony. The George Washington
University Glee Club sang the
vocal section from memory and
with a finish that bespoke thor
ough preparation.
The playful humor of the theme
shown above establishes the mood
Of the Scherzo or third movement
of MendelsSohn's famous italian
Symphony" which will be heard
tomorrow night in the program of
the U. S. Navy Band Symphony
Orchestra at the Navy Yard Sail
Loft.
Both the second movement which
contained the embodiment of Ital-
ian poetry and the third movement
are in reality German versions of
Italian impressions. There is much
of German folk song in the
Scherzo.
The q. s. Army Band, Capt.
Thomas F. Darcy conducting, will
give the following program this
evening at 6 o'clock in the band
auditorium at the War College:
Larghetto from symphony No.
2. in D Major" (Beethoven);
Quintet for Flute, Clarinet, Oboe,
Bassoon and French Horn" Ne-
febVre); popular waltz, "Close to
Me" (de Rose); modern rhap-
sody, "HeadljneS" (Colby) !;
waltze, blue Danube" (Strauss) /;
march, "On the Quarter Deck"
(Alford).

BY CARL L. DENIES
The concert of the National
Symphony Orchestra yesterday af-
ternoon at Constitution Hall
brought forth great ovations for
the SoloiSt, Harold Bauer, the as
sisting chorus from George Wash
ington University, the orchestra
and Conductor Kinder.
Bauer'S delightful rendition of
Beethoven's Concert No. 8 in c
Minor" was somewhat enhanced,
especially for those who sat in a
certain part of the orchestra Sec
ton around the R row Of seats by
an assisting soloist. Immediately
behind us was a man who was able
to whistle out loud the themes Of
the concerto slightly in advance Of
the soloiSt.
If he had just made verbal COM
ments of explanation in addition
to the whistling, our enjoyment
would have been complete. Not
wishing to waste his talents, while
the orchestral interludeS were be-
ing played, this person would hum
bass to help out the string-bass
section. The whistled strains bore
the distinct aroma of garlic, which
of course added to the effect.
Page Emily Post.
This person also attempted to
add to the orchestral version of
"CoriolanuS," but unfortunately
the same thing that befell the
hero of the overture did not hap
pen to the garlic whistler. Need
less to say there were few seats
occupied in the vicinity of the
whistler after the intermisison.
DR.. Hans Kinder gave a bril-
liant reading of the overture to
"Coriolanus" with a good sense Of
the dramatic qualities contained
in the stirring work. Beethoven,
like the hero he delineated in this
overture, might be described IL.
the words of Richard Wagner as
"The man of force untamable,
untitled for a hypocrite'S humil-
ity." The full power of the or
chestra was used to build up the
great climax near the end fol-
lowed by the appealing pity of the
closing measures as the music
died away.
Harold Bauer made his listen
ers forget technique and the me-
chanics that produce piano music.
There was an inspiration in mis-
Interpretation of the Concerto
that created a feeling of authority
and spirituality. There were dis
play passages, but they were &C
complished in a clean cut manner
and with little apparent effort.
The spiritual effect was height
ened by the restrained and sing
ing tones of the Largo movement
The third, or concluding movement
created audibly with a spirit OF
in animated rondo form, was re-
abandon and ripping gaiety that
swept the audience at its end into
thunderous and prolonged ap'
plause.

with the piano solo parts of the

with an extended piano section

Report on Federal Aid.
A major report is that dealing with
the various forms of governmental
aid extended to all forms of trans
portation-rail, water, highway and
air-and one due to shed a great deal
of light on this highly controversial
subject. The railroads have contended
for years that they we're victims
Of discrimination in this field.
Another report deals with labor
standards in other forms of transpor-
tation than the railroads; third
covers rail employment records and
is designed to furnish detailed
actuarial data as a basis for pensions
and related subjects. and still another
is on short-line railroads.
All these reports have required vast
research and in their compilation
every effort has been made toward
entire accuracy. It has been Gus
tomary first to get up tentative reports
and send these out for criticism by
interested parties in order that all
viewpoints might be reflected in their
completed form.

their services are in demand. For th'
rank and file, however. the prospects
are not good.
