S0V|ETS RENEW
CHURCH WAR

MOSCOW, March 81 GN.sO.
AS the Soviet Unions few remain
ing churches prepared today to
observe Easter, atheist leaders and
newspapers opened a new cam
paign to combat serious religious
inroads" among Soviet youth.
In spite of 18 years of "godleSS"
propaganda and the closing Of
most of the churches in the U. S.
S. R., at least half the adult
population remains religious, the
atheists admitted.
Holy Saturday brought the first
admission in years of anti
religious campaigning that such a
huge number had clung to the
church, although they lacked the
consolation of church worship,
and their devotionS had to be car
ried out privately, often in fear
of the state police.
Atheists pointed out that the
church has become adapted to
changing conditions of Bolshevist
life. Priests are now engaging in
many forms of social work.

figure that is the latest word in
svelte lines. Miss Shaver, how
ever, is a tennis enthusiast, and
she walks great deal. Both ac-
tivities are excellent for the fig
ure and assure more exercise than
the average housewife plans 70 get.
One of the highest-Salaried
woman executives, Miss Elva w.
Wilson, makes a hobby Of sports.
She plays golf, swims, rides,
skates, and would like to ski. Any
one could keep her figure with
that amount of exercise! Miss
Wilson is the slim, wiry type and
simply eats up work.
High-pressure business women
who use vast amounts of nervous
energy rarely need to diet, but
they exercise for their figures and
as a balance for a high nervous
energy expenditure.
Whether or not the housewife
needs to diet depends upon her
food habits, but specific exercises

the small muscles of the body
hands, arms, feet and legs-get
the most use. These small muscles
are relatively unimportant to the
contour of the figure.
There are household tasks that
give you plenty of exercise and
still miss the muscles of the
abdomen, hips and thighs. For
this reason the specific exercises
are invaluable.
Moderate use of the large
muscles of the trunk and hips
takes more calories and therefore
is better exercise than the most
intense use of the small muscles.
For example. you burn more
calorieS in the sloweSt walking,
per hour, than in dishwashing-
and the good to your figure is far
greater.
At housework you can use from
1000 to 1900 calories per day, de-
pending upon the type of work
you do. But in planning and pre-
pairing meals for the family three
times a day, it is easy to exceed
your calorie limit. Likewise, the
business woman finds it all too
easy to gain weight.
Weight is not always a prob.
lem. Many women keep their
weight at normal without diet
ing, but no one can keep fit or
trim without an adequate amount
of exercise. This is as true for
the housewife as for the business
woman.
We find the smartest business
women taking time out for phys
ical activity. Dorothy Shaver,

To Keep Trim j
By IDA JEAN KAHN

Yet, on the average, the bust
ness woman keeps in better trim
than the housewife because she
realizes the need Of exercise.
You are wrong if you think
housework affords all the exercise
you should have. There is no deny
ing that housework is work, but, as
exercise, it is only a halfway
measure. In the lighter tasks,
