Washington, Nov. 27 - (UP0 - Secretary of Commerce Daniel c, Roper declared today for a return to "the basic standards of the Ma tional Recovery Act" should volun- tary cooperation of business, labor and the federal government fail, The secretary said: Tt would be ideal if the objectives sought in this act could be brought about by bus mess, industry, labor and the con- sumner working among themselves. I hope that this may prove possible. However, if this approach is un- successful, the interest of all re- quires that the federal government and the congress take action in CO., operation with all clements inter- ested to provide for the basic objec- tiveS of the National Industrial Re- covery Act"
 His First Interview
 In his first interview since the election the 70-year-old cabinet member displayed forcefulness that belied his slight stature and

nor in the States. His reputation for honesty, for fearlessness, for sound business policies had grown day by day since he took office.
 Sitting alone, he was too much absorbed in the document before him to hear the door open. His wife stood watching him for mo- ment. She was a small woman who looked older than her years. But as she watched the man in the governors chair, the tender ness of her eyes made her almost beautiful. People called Philip Crandall lucky, and 1t was plain that he was lucky in having a wife who loved him to the point of adoration
 After a moment she came and stood behind him, reading over his shoulder. He reached up and took her hand and held it a mo- ment against his cheek, while with the other he signed his name.
 That" he said, looking up with a quick smile, that makes it a law, darling. There won't be any more children in this state sweat ing their lives away in mills and factories"
 Martha Crandall kissed his un- ruly hair. That's very wonder ful, Phillip" she said simply.
 The light on her face faded a little. Her eyes took on a faraway look. Tt seems so dreadful" she said, in choked little voice, "that you-you who love children so much and have done so much for then-can't have any of your own."
 The governor got up quickly and put his arms around her.

 Sadie ushered Mrs. Simms out and an instant later answered the door to let in Sam Fisher. Sam Fisher was dark, oily, too fiorid too everything, but he was a good agent. As she lAoked at him, the fear in Janet Fairs eyes faded and was replaced by hope that was al- most as dreadful to see as the fear. But she held her head high and in all her screen career had never done so fine piece af acting as the smile she gave him. That smile took real courage and Janet Fair was almost out of courage that morning.

Beef Pot Roast Can Be
Given individuality

'sauerbraten in flavor, and yet
takes very much less time to pre-
pare. AS the liquid cooks away,
water may be added, and in the
end you have a gravy which is just
spicy enough to be delicious. The
gravy may be thickened with
ginger snaps as frequently is done
for Sauerbraten.
HOrSeradiSh Pot Roast
After the meat is Drowned, a
small bottle of prepared horserad-
ish is added. The pot roast should
be turned several times during the
cooking so that the outside will
become permeated with the horse
radish flavor. The gravy from
this kind of a pot roast makes a
really delicious horseradish sauce.

Have you noticed how must
clans vary the score of music to
express their own personalities?
And have you noticed how some
cooks by adding a bit OF this
and a dash of that can vary a
recipe to suit their own liking
and their own particular purpose?
OF course, not all recipes can
be varied with satisfaction, but,
luckily, those for meat can, with
the result that, with a little mag.
ination, our meat dishes need
never be the same. Take, for in
stance, that one meat dish. the
pot-roast. There are as many
varieties of this old honey IA
vorite as there are letters in the
alphabet. It is cooked by the
method known as braising, and
the variety is gained by adding
different liquids and seasoning.
Method of Cooking
1. Dredge meat in flour.
2. Brown meat in hot lard.
3. Add a small quantity of
liquid and any seaSonngS de-
sired.
4. Cover tightly and allow to
cook slowly on top of stove or in
oven until done, about three
hours.
Following are a few variations
of the standard method of cook,
ing a pot-roast. These are sug'
gested by Inez S. Wilson, home
economist.
Spiced Pot Roast
The meat is Drowned in the
usual way, but, instead of adding
water as the liquid, a small amount
of diluted vinegar, which has been
spiced with the addition of a few
cloves and perhaps a bay-leaf, is
added. This makes pot roast
which resembles the old-faShioned

Excessive sitting produces flabby,
toneless tissues. The hipcontroll-
ing muscles, the inner and outer
thigh muscles, and the gluteals.
which form the buttocks, are all
affected, to the disadvantage of
the figure.
Standing contracts tonically the
important muscles which are idle
in sitting. Standing all day long
may be hard on your feet, but it
is far easier on your figure than
eight hours at a desk, or four
hours at a bridge table. Walking,
of course, is better for the figure
than standing, since it brings
more muscles into play.
The average person today sits
much more than she stands or
walks, and exercise is needed to
counterfeit the effects. Your &C.
cupation has a decided influence
on your figure, and if you are
wise, you will plan your exercise
program to use the muscles that
are neglected from nine to five.
The following four exercises are
specific correctives for misShapen
thighs, bullying hips and flabby
gluteal muscles:
The thigh muscles are used in
flexing and rotating the leg, as
with this exercise:
Position: Standing on one leg,
bend the other knee.
Movement: With the knee flexed
in this position, make wide inward
circles with the point Of the knee.
Repeat 10 times, and shift to the
other leg.
To strengthen the outer thigh
muscles, take the same position
and make outward circles with
the knee point. Repeat 10 times
with each leg.
Position: Stand on left foot, with
right foot extended, toe pointed.
Movement: Starting with right
toe at outer side Of left foot, de-
scribe large circles, bringing the
foot to rest in back of body. Swing
back around to original position.
Repeat 10 times and perform with
opposite leg.
These exercises strengthen the
thigh and hip muscles and are
equally valuable in perfecting
thigh contours in either over
weight or underweight.
The following exercise will tone
the gluteal muscles Of the but
tocks
Position: Lying face downward.
knee flexed.
Movement: Without raising hip
bones off the floor, lift the flexed
knee slightly off the floor. Hold.
Lower If you keep the hip bones
flat on the floor, this exercise
tones the gluteal muscles. Re
peat 10 times on each side.
Try this same exercise with the
leg extended, knee straight. Tens.
! ing muscles, hold the leg in elA
waited position for a few seconds.
