Legs Presentable
By IDA JEAN KAHN


Undersize or oversize legs call
for bringing your weight up or
down, and for exercise. Legs that
are just plain out of shape need
exercise and exercise. In any
case, six weeks of honest to good.
ness leg work can take you out
of the slacks-wearing class and
make you eligible for shorts or
cdlottes.
oh, you're going to the noun
tains to ride horses! Well, a good
pair of legs is never any loss. Look
at Oracle Allen! If she hadn't
possessed shapely pair of limbs,
Miss Allen might never have ar
rived as a star in radio comedy.
She began her career as a dancer
on the stage, where well-shaped
legs are a necessity. Radio came
later.
Whatever your aspirations as to
style or career, check your leg
measurements by this surprising
stars; ankles, 612 inches; calves,
13 inches; knees, 1412 inches, with
a '171a.inch line Of shapelinesS be-
tween calf and ankle. Her height
is five feet two inches, weight 102
pounds. You will have to make
allowance for your difference in
weight and height, but the leg
proportions will give you an idea
of-what yours can be.
Even dancers are exercise-wise,
especially when they no longer
have q daily routine. This kick
ing stunt, suggested by Miss Allen,
will give you a good start on your
leg improvement program:
Suspend punching bag or
large rubber ball in q doorway, hip
height, and kick it. Begin with
10 kicks a day, alternating feet,
and gradually move the ball
higher, increasing the number Of
kicks gradually to so.
Kicking exercise is excellent for
all types Of legs. You can get q
long, vigorous stretch of the leg
muscles, with, at the same time,
a SHINING action on the hipline.
Another exercise guaranteed to
take the boredom out Of any rou-
tine is the Russian dance step
which this star also favors. You
sit ON the backs Of your ankles,
arms folded across the chest.
Knees are bent, of course, and you
hold the trunk as upright as pos
sible while Shuffling the legs for
ward and back. Sit on the back
of the left ankle and thrust the
right leg forward-in front of the
body. Then transfer the weight
to the right ankle and thrust the
left leg forward.
For the calf of the leg, con.
tracing exercises develop the
line and stretching exercises slim
down the line. Here are the two
movements in practically the same
exercise: Stand on the toes and
run in place-that is, run with.
out moving forward-lifting the
legs high as the knees are flexed,
and coming down on the toes.
Now, to stretch the leg muscles,
try the same exercise on the
heels. You won't get up much
speed-but that is not what
you're after.
For supple ankles, try this
one: Lie flat on the floor on the
back, feet straight up in the air,
and that means with knees
straight. When you are holding
the soles of the feet horizontally,
turn the soles inward, then out
ward. live times, in and out.
Then point the toes up in the
air, hard! Curl the toes down
toward the instep. All this, of
course, with the knees straight.
There is no excuse for knobby
or overpadded legs. Barring alb
normal weight or actual deform-
ity, exercise is all your legs need
to give them lovely contours.

2,O63 Scouts
A grand total Of 2,063 Boy Scouts
and leaders has been listed at the
local offices during the year 1886, 1t
was announced today by Scout Exc
cutive David Babson. This report
will be formally announced at the
annual meeting on Friday evening.
According to the local scout exc
cutive's statement today, there has
been total Of 1874 different scouts
189 different cubs and 800 leaders
during the past year. There were
800 new members during 1896 and
out Of this number there were $50
scouts and 10 cubs.
Registration
The registered membership, as oil
December 81, was 1903. This nun,
Der included 1,103 scouts and SO
cubs.
It can be readily seen, from the
figures released in connection with
the total registration at the pres
ent time, that the local council has
reached its goal of more than 1000
scouts by the end Of 1895. During
the past month every effort was ex-
tended in an attempt to reach the
goal of more than 1000 active scouts
and from all appearances 1t seems
evident that the Mattatuck council
will have one Of the best organiza-
tons In the state during 1887.
The local executive explained this
morning that the reason why the
grand total Is higher than the ac-
tual total at the present time Is be-
cause many scouts register and drop
out during the course Of the year.
