Moral of Sound
 Construction Is
 Stressed by FILA
Association Head Approves of Rigid Inspection
 of Houses
By D. R. COLLINS Assistdnt to the Director of Promo ton of the Portland Cement
 Association

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 7.-Working at the job of being a home owner can be as much fun as playing around in a dream house and can be infinitely more profitable
 If, instead of being emotional about the beautiful paint, the gleaming metal, and the marvellous g d g ts, more people would go through the mental process of talk, ing their prospective home apart to see what it is made of, they would get both fun and profit. Even a dream home must have a tangible shell-including foundations, walls, floors and roof-built to definite standards if the house is to last.
 This is the doctrine that the Fed eral Housing Administration is preaching It is the principle on which demonstration homes are be- ing built throughout the country. These houses must be of durable materials that will last and will be good investment, both for the home owner and the bank which might finance the building of such hous- eS.
 The men who finance house build- ing don't get emotional about at mosphere and color in a house. They are more interested in how a house will look and what its condi- ton will be in 10 or 20 years. There is only one way to be sure about these things, that is to know what is behind the glitter.
 Among the requirements set up by the Federal Housing Administra- tion for insured long-term mort gages is the stipulation that con- struction must be of proven dura- bility In this way the Housing Administration is helping the pros pective home owner fight the jerry builder. ie
 Experienced builders, encouraged by the Federal Housing Adminis- tration and responsible financial in stitutions, are creating attractively designed, durable houses of dura- ble materials at little or no greater cost than houses of less permanent materials. These houses are being built for people who do their dreaming at night and their think, ing by day. Naturally, such houses are a good investment for both the builders and the home owners.

Bu ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Gal, Oct. '. - Blonde Gladys George talks with her hands and face as animately as with her slightly throaty voice. She is happily boisterous commedienne who has just completed, in her first major picture. a heavily dramatic tour de force.
 From theatrical stage comedy Personal Appearance" to the weepy film Valiant Is the Word for Car rie" was the quick jump she made, and all the reports are that shes an actress. Despite which, she de- clares with vivacity:
 Likes Comedy
 Comedy is where I belong. This heavy stuff breaks me up and gets me down. Making Carrie was 40 days of the blues. I'd come home and go dropping around the house. I couldn't even eat. In comedy I feel comfortable-bu if I'm going to do dramatic stuff I want to look like Loretta Young"
 She is continually taking cracks at the way she looks, which to this reporter seemed very nice way to look, especially when appearance is backed by personality and poiseless talk You'd never guess that once, in the early stages of an up-and- down Broadway career, she tried to sport an English accent.
 "Be Yourself"
 I'd go around to the managers and give 'em the Park Avenue and Piccadilly business, and all I'd get was the air. I even tried out the accent on the bus boys. Then one day I was trying out for part with Hal Skelly and he asked me what thought of line. I broke down and said I think it's lousy in plain American-and he loved it!
 So now I say be yourself!' Be yourself and somebody's going tc like it-and if enough people like it you'll get to be somebody"
 She likes to think of acting as minus hocus-pocus and tricks, as something "instinctive" She cites
 When I started I didn't know anything. I was always spelling oth- CT peoples big lines because didn' know any technique. But I must have had something, because they kept me I think it was feeling If you've got it, you can add tht technique later. If you haven't, don't think technique helps much Has Third HuSband 1 The actress has it. A few mo ments later, speaking of a poig nant situation in Carrie" she zoe watery in the eyes-just like that
 Two years ago Gladys Georg, come to Metro and did one pictur, without ripping Hollywood's plac idity. She took suspension to g' back to the stage, and after s"Per sonal Appearance Metro took ul her option, lent her to Paramoun for Carrie" and two other films 1 She goes next into "A Man and { Woman with Edward Arnold.

abdominal muscles, where there
is no bony structure to hold the
figure in line. Unless those
sheathlike muscles are kept in
tone and free from excess fat,
this part of the figure becomes
soft, flabby and thick.
Exercise will strengthen the
muscles of the waist and abdo-
men to keep your figure young.
In the normal figure, the lower
part of the abdominal wall is
flat, with a slight upward curve
to the waistline.
The following waistline-abdom-
inal exercises are excellent for
any type figure:
EXERCISE
Position
Standing with feet stretched as
wide apart as you can get them,
knees slightly bent, trunk droop-
ing forward, head and arms hang
ing loosely toward the floor.
Movement
Twisting at the waist, swing the
trunk from extreme left to right
and from right to left, shifting
the weight from one foot to the
other and swinging simultane-
ously.
Try this waistline twister
EXERCISE 2
Position
Sitting on floor, feet stretched
wide apart, knees straight, arms
stretched high overhead.
Movement
Keeping buttocks on the floor,
twist at the waist, fling out with
the arms and rest the fingers on
the floor as far to the left and
back as possible.
Now raise the arms, stretch, and
touch the floor at the extreme
right and back. Stretching and
twisting make this exercise effec-
tive.
EXERCISE 3
Position
Standing on knees, knees apart,
arms straight out at sides.
Movement
Bending first to the right side
and then to the left, touch the
finger-tips to the floor alternately
