Ordinarily I'm not one to sigh
for the years that are gone and
will return no more-but I can't
help feeling a little lonely some
times when 1 look back across At
years, remembering lost faces and
lost moments. Where is the boy
who wanted to be a preacher or
a lawyer? Where is the confident
youth who trod the boards in a
Union generals uniform made out
of an old bartender's coat and a
couple of epaulets? Where is the
young bucko who sat in a day
coach from San Francisco to
Omaha eating the pasties his aunt
mad made for him? Where is the
bold fellow who set up a motion

Omaha, ran the picture of the
Gans-Nelson fight and accom-
panied it with an eyewitness &C.
count of that historic battle,

SOIL EROSION
SURVEY SET

COLLEGE PARK, Md, March 9.
In order to determine the value of
the three erosion control projects
being carried out in Maryland by
the Soil Conservation Service, an
extensive survey of Maryland
farms in the control sectors is to
be made shortly by specialists of
the. University Of Maryland and
the Agricultural Economics Bureau
of the Federal Department of
Agriculture.
o. C. Bruce, State coordinator
of the Conservation Service, has
stated that the survey will include
such items as tests in yields OF
crops per acre, crop rotation, con-
tour stripping and live stock.
The survey will be broad enough
to show the actual dollars and
cents damage caused by erosion to
the individual farm and will sup
ply answers to such questions as
the effect of conservation meas.
ures in leSsening damage to State
highways, the sitting Of streams
and reservoirs, and the reduction
of flood danger.

HEALTH FUND
CALLED TINY

DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, assist
ant head Of the District Health De-
partment, declared that the funds
set aside to care for the health
needs of the Capital are less than
half of what they should be to give
minimum standards of health pro-
lection.
In a talk before the Council Of
Social Agencies at the Young
Women's Christian Association
Building, DR.. seckinger declared
in q city the size of Washington
the health funds should be $1.96
per capita, which is a yearly budget
of S1,080,0O and compares with
the current appropriation of
$3.50, ,7O3.
He said the local department
sorely needed additional personnel,
especially in the nursing field.

REPORT DUE

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 8.
The Maryland Senate last night
ordered the committee which in
vestigated the State police depart
ment to make verbal report with
recommendations, after dissension
had broken out in the committee
over the tone the report should
take.
Chairman John D. C. Duncan
CDO, Baltimore county, said the
committee positively would make
a report and that no "whitewash"
would be applied to any of the
witnesses.
Opposition to the stand of the
committee majority was made by
George Hofferbert CD, Baltimore
City. Hofferbert indicated he
would not affix his signature.
Severe cenSure Of some of the
witnesses, particularly Sergt. Men
ash E. Katz, was expressed by
other members. Katz is particu-

lobbying in the State House while

as with the disproportionate
figure.
With most of us, exercise time
is so limited that every movement
must count. Knowing the most
effectual positions for toning the
muscles offers a short cut to a
perfect figure.
Flabby upper arms are the re-
suit of toneless triceps muscles.
70 firm and round the arms, the
best exercise position is with the
arms held out at shoulder level,
or as in delivering a blow. No
other position will reduce pen
dt1lous flesh in this area.
The exercise which firms the
arms also raises the bust to nor
NAL position, since the muscular
network is interrelated. Hanging
Bar exercises are extremely effec-
tive in strengthening the pectoral
Muscles of the bust. The tone Of
these muscles is as important TO
lovely contour as normal weight.
:, For a settled waistline, try
stretching the muscles, pulling the
body up long and slim. Bending is
good exercise only if preceded by
a stretch and twist. For best re-
Suits, concentrate the twisting
movement in the waist, keeping
the hips faced squarely to the
font.
Hips incorporated can be
Stimmed by raising the leg vigor,
ouSly to an angle of As degrees. It
takes this angle to bring into &C
ton the gluteus maximus, that
freshly muscle on the back of the
hips. Leg swinging exercises re
dice the hips and buttockS and
strengthen the muscles Of the
thigh.
Rolling to use the entire weight
of the body in a massage move
nfent is an excellent measure for
reducing below the waistline.
The best exercise position for
beautifying thigh contours is with
the leg elevated and moved in a
sfde-to-side swing. This position
affects both inner and outer
thigh muscles.
For the legs - stretch thick
calves to slimness by pointing the
heels, or in exercises that keep
the heels flat on the floor. To
develop calves, exercises are per
formed on the toes to contract
TIE muscles.
