These exercises are designed to
bring the fat-Susceptible places
the muscle-lazy areas-into action
and are essential to slenderness
in the average figure.
Everyday activities involve the
use Of the small muscles of the
hands, fingers. feet, and even
legs, but they neglect the most
important muscles of the body.
You must rely on the exercise
which helped you to get slim to
keep your slim figure. All Of you
need some of these special exer
cises. and some Of you will need
all of them.
Trunk exercises concentrate on
the abdomen and waistline mus
cleS. hardening and strengthening
the tissues to maintain comp" CT
ness. Unless exercise of the trunk
muscles is continued the tissues
will revert to flabbiness. so con-
tinue to practice your stretching
exercises.
Arm Exercise
Since the old-fashioned wash
board has gone out of style, the
triceps muscles located on the
back of the upper arm are scarce
ly ever employed, and as a con-
sequence most arms tend to be-
come flabby and unlovely.
That is the reason arm eXer
cises are so important in figure
programs. Of the numerous ex
ercises for the triceps, you may
prefer this one:
Stand with the feet slightly
apart. Hold the right arm out
sideways on a level with the
shoulders. left arm thrown well
across the chest.
vigorously reverse the arm posi-
tions, so that the left arm is
flung out and the right arm is
across the chest. Hold the body
still, moving only the arms, and
swing back and forth fifteen or
twenty times.
For plump shoulders, before and
after slimming. practice these
movements: Raise the arms from
the sides, shoulder level. turning
the palms up. Bending the arms
at the elbows, place the fingers
lightly on the shoulders and. keep.

For Hype Igoe's sake.
"A brutal prize fight, and the
last we trust. that will disgrace our
country, took place on Wednesday
afternoon, 7th inst, at Still Pond
Heights, Kent county, on the east

an Irish bully and prize fighter
named Sullivan and one Tom

to his mother, but after her death
he was drawn from his better reso-
lutionS by the bullying insults Of
Sullivan. The legal authorities
used the most energetic means to
prevent the meeting, and sue

Island, whittier first the belliger-

he escaped from the lighthouse,
where he was temporarily con-
fined, and getting on board a
schooner, passed over to Rock
Point. A steamboat, having on
board two companies of military,
was in pursuit. but the boat
grounded and, while lying in sight
of Rock Point, the battle came off.
Hyer won.
Immediately after the encounter
Hyer came to Philadelphia, where
he was arrested. We are panied
to say that this event had most

to read the brutal details. In New

thing in Philadelphia and led to
numerous fights on a smaller scale
among friends of the two COM

Back Exercise
Nine out of every 10 women are
inclined to add weight through
the shoulders, and particularly be-
tween the shoulder blades. Here
is a simple exercise for the back
muscles which is diScouraging to
fatty tissues:
Lie flat on a blanket or mat,
resting the weight on the head
and hips. Vigorously contract the
back muscles to lift the shoulders
couple of inches off the floor.
Relax, and repeat from five to
10 times.
At the base OF the neck is an.
other group of muscles which get
little exercise in the average days
activity. Use Of these muscles is
all that stands between you and a
fat pad, so hold your head up
properly, stretching up with the
back of your neck. Once in awhile
rotate the head from one shoulder
to the other. This is good eXer'
else several times day.
Put your lazy muscles under OBJ
servation and see that they con
tinue to get their share of activ'
ity. Don't throw away your cor
rective exercise leaflets just be
cause you are slim again. because,
unless you take precautions, the
fat pads will gather.

WASHINGTON. April 21.-In a
message to the Daughters of the
American Revolution today, Presi-
dent Roosevelt asserted the United
States would continue to press for
international arms reduction agree
ment and would not increase arma-
ments unless forced to do SO by
other nations.
Discussing adequate national de-
fense," the President said the ques-
ton of what was adequate was con-
stantly changing with new interna-
tional situations.
IF this were disarming world,
it is abvious our needs would be
proportionately decreasing" he said,
but 1 regret that today this is not
that kind of a world. I regret it

The message was sent to Mrs Will

eral D. A. r. conference, after the
President had cancelled a scheduled
address because of the death of his
