SAWMILL DRAGS

PORTLAND, Ore- october 20
UN.SO.-Charlie O,Dell, q wood

and bruised-in that order-when
his "sawmill" ran away with him.
ODell had packed up his auto
mobile, and was using the rear
wheels for saw-power, with a strap
from the machine tied to his leg
to hold it steady, when the car
slipped off the jacks. ODell was
dragged across several fields be-
fore he managed to free himself
from the strap and stop his auto

inal exercises are an absolute ne
cessity. These organs are padded
with fatty tissue. AS the fat
which cushions them is lost, the
muscles must be strengthened.
Our exercise program rightly be-
gins with the middle of the figure.
Not all exercises reach the abdom-

know your exercise!
Abdominal exercises must be
progressive in severity and in the
number of times each exercise is
performed. When the muscles in
this area have lost tone, the best
way to retone them for normal
functioning is through forcible
and rhythmic contraction of the
lower wall, as with the following
beginning exercise:
Position: Lying on floor on back,
knee flexed and SoleS of feet on
floor.
Movement: Starting with the
lower wall, draw the abdomen up
and in until the small of the back
is on the floor. Slowly relax and
contract for 10 counts. Try to
keep the exercise rhythmic.
Position: Lying on back, legs
extended and feet resting on low
stool.
Movement: Raise the body until
it is a straight line from head to
heels. Hold. Lower to the floor and
repeat slowly. Ten times will be
enough for this exercise.
Sit up and try this more diff
cult waiStline Stretcher.
Position: Extend the feet in
front of the body, as wide apart
as you can get them.
Movement: Trying to hold the
left hand on the right knee, bend
the right arm over the head and,
with it, try to touch the left knee.
Keep the abdomen flat and the
legs straight and stretched wide

By IDA JEAN KAHN

The muscular bands OF the
abdominal wall are as strong as
any muscles in the body. These
large. sheath-like muscles run hori-
zontally, vertically and obliquely,
making a natural girdle perfectly
capable of holding the figure in
shape.
In sedentary living, however,
these muscles do not get the exer-

tone and, accordingly, the weight
of the internal organs produces a
"tummy"
Since the proper position Of the
internal organs depends upon the
muscular tone of the lower abdom-
inal wall, it is highly important
from the standpoint of health to
keep this lower part flat. There
is, normally, slight upward curve
in the upper part of the wall, but
the lower part must be flat.

P0STMASTERS
BILL TO GET
APPROVAL
Rep. Rannspeck to Call
Committee to Put
Plan on Floor

Possibility that the Ramspeck
bill, to bring postmasters under
the Civil Service, may be approved
by the House Committee on Civil
Service at it's meeting Thursday
were seen today.
Representative Robert Rams
peck CDD, of Georgia. author of
the bill and chairman of the COM
mittee, announced today that he
would call his committee together
Thursday for an organization
meeting.
He also revealed that he will
bring the postmaster bill before
the committee for discussion at
that time, as he is anxious to get
the measure to the floor Of the
House. so that that body can ap-
prove it and sent it to the Senate
for early action there.
G. o. P. Blocked 1t
Last session Mr.. RamSpeck's
committee approved the bill and
sent it to the House floor, where
it was blocked by small margin,
opposition being led by Repub-
licans. For that reason, it is as
sumed there will be little trouble
in getting the committee to rush
the measure to the House without
delay
The Georgian is confident that
the House will pass the bill this
session, since there is such large
Democratic majority.
Mr.. Ramspeck also declared
today that he will soon call his
committee into session to begin
consideration of the bill to extend
civil service throughout the entire
Government service.
He was in favor of the bill at the
last session of Congress and sought
to have it approved. but it was late
in the session when he got the bill
out Of committee and it died be-
fore action was taken.
Sees Easy Sailing
With the Presidents recon-
mendation contained in the Execu-
tive's budget message backing him
however. Ramspeck believes that
there will be little opposition to
the proposition during this session.
His only fear is that unless his
committee acts quickly on that
measure. the neWly-created special
Reorganization Committee may
take over that matter together
with the numerous others con-
tained in the Presidents reorgani-
Zation message.
