new set of featured numbers that
will remain on the program until
closing time sometime within the
next two or three weeks. The
new numbers, 'Traktir" and
"Bobi," are scintillating bits of
musical artistry that set off the
brilliance of the Troika troupe in
all of its established glory.
"Traktir," a Russian Inn scene,

will go on during the dinner per-

process can't be surpassed for re-
making your figure. Dig in the gar.
den, NOV the lawn, play golf, or
walk. to tone your muscular syS-
TEN and slim down without reduc-
ing.
During the winter months when
you hug the hearth, you soften up.
Your muscles grow lax and lazy. AS
a consequence your curves run
wild, and there are bulgeS and
hollows instead of streamlines.
GETS FRESH AIR
Any activity that takes you out
into the fresh air is spring tonic
to nerves and muscles. You'll ache
for time, but oh, how you'll sleep
at night Pushing the lawn mower
takes every last muscle, as you will
find out.
This is an excellent arm and
shoulder exercise, for it takes to
task those soft muscles on the back
part Of the upper arm. 1t also puts
to work the muscles of the waist
line, hips and tummy. Cutting the
lawn really helps you to cut fine
figure!
Spring is the time of the year
to walk, so see that you walk As
minutes-well, all right, 30-every
day. Set yourself a brisk pace
and swing from the hips. AS you
walk, pull up with the lower abb
dominal muscles, up with the dia-
phragm, and up with the top of
your head. You can't hold your
tummy in as you stride along, and
you're not supposed to.
You can, however, pull UP with
the lower abdominal muscles and
this is splendid discipline for
those dormant figure-controlling
muscles. incidentally, the better
you look while walking, the bet
ter it is for your figure. So walk
beautifully to walk off the inches.
Golf, walking and gardening
strengthen the muscles of the
legs, thighs and waistline, but
slimming the hips is something
else again.
Special measures are needed to
reduce the gluteal region, for to
tone these muscles the leg must
be raised to an angle of As de-
grees-which is the reason why

 Stolen in a surprise attack on a jewelry store in Shanghai, the gem is smuggled aboard a San Fran cisco-bound steamer, and most of the exciting story action deals with the efforts of pretty under-cover customs agent and of an Ameri- can adventurer to recover the prec- ious object.
