Glori1ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA SerVhc0 Stau WElteE
 Only ardent sportswomen who ride and swim frequently or play golf or tennis fairly often should stop setting-up exercises during the summer months. Regardless of the weather, all others-particularly those whose work requires almost no physical effort-will feel better and hence be more attractive-loo ing if they do a few simple routines energetically and regularly.
 The idea that one who rises early and is busy at the office all day doesn't really need anything except rest when the days work is done Is a great fallacy. If you doubt this, go rapidly through series of ex- ercise routines for ten minutes to- night when you get home from the office. Then take warm bath, and see how much less tired you feel. Notice, too, that the dull pain in the back of your neck disappears.
 Your doctor will agree that, more often than not, physical exercise is the best cure for nervous fatigue. If you seem always to be tense and utterly weary at five o'clock, he no doubt will agree, too, that 1t would be a good idea for your to walk at least part of the way home from the office every night. Also, always to do setting up exercises at the end of rather than at the beginning of the day.
 Too many women who do not go to buiness are too inclined to be- lieve that the daily chores about the house provide adequate exer- else. In many cases, this isn't true.
 Naturally, one who does every bit of her own housework and cares for small children no doubt needs 8 short nap rather than setting-up exercises late in the afternoon. How ever, the woman who lives in a small house or who has no children ought to plan to take a long, brisk walk every day and manage to do a few exercises to keep her figure slim and trim.
 Modern exercise salons recom- mend limbering and stretching routines for every customer. whether she is overweight or not. Here are several that you can do at home:
 Stand erect with feet together, arms at sides. Raise heels from the floor and stretch arms upward as far as possible, feeling waistline muscles pull. Now relax completely. letting upper half of your body swing forward. Head should hang loosely downward and arms should be quite limp. Come back to the first position. Repeat five times. Stand with feet about eight inches apart, hands high above head with palms facing. Lower right hand to side and bend to the right as far as possible. Re- verse, holding right hand high, low reing left one and bending to the left.
 Place hands on hips and put all of your weight on left foot. Now, holding knee straight, swing right leg back and forth. Repeat ten or fifteen times, then stand on right foot and swing left leg.

by acid where acid should not be.
 "Waterbrash" is the burning and irritation of the throat by normally acid or hyperacid fluid regurgitated from the stomach.
 Eructation of gas, belching, may occur in any case of hypoacid or hyperaid stomach. In some of the most pronounced instances of belch- ing, however, there is nothing the matter with the stomach, just an unconscious, perhaps nervous" habit of swallowing air and expell- ing it with sound effects. This is the explanation for many "gas attacks" which are brought on by an emotional upset.
 It Is 8 common fallacy that such "a gas attack" or the presence of more than the normal amount of air or gas in the alimentary tract or what seems an excessive amount, is dangerous. The danger is that it may press on the heart" and inter- fere with, if not stop, the heart. No ouSiA oAihiS CfSA AuPPCiios AAiC WOloI excessive air or gas in the stomach can do is to cause some slight dis comfort from the "bloated" feeling that. accompanies 1t. If the patient Is not unduly alarmed or worried about the pressing on the heart" the temporary discomfort is pres ently relieved in the natural way, that is. by the onward progress of the gas or air into the intestine. In any case there is no imperative need of something to bring up" the gas or absorb 1t or get rid of 1t.

on a toy, a pet or an idea. What we mean when we say that Mary or Joe has "fixation" is that he mak- es his whole world secondary to some person or object. He cannot think or be happy. School work suf- fers while he dreams about his idol.
 A fixed idea is not a fixation, necessarily, for habit, compilations and all manner of things may be fixed ideas. Fixations get into the emotional field and become retreats from effort, unpleasantness and strain.
 They are abnormal and not too common, but when there is gen. uine flxation, 1t is something rather tragic.
 Yet I believe that they have been overrated, because most of us have incipient fixations. There is usually some thing or someone, or even a plan, so deeply important to us, so imbedded in our hearts, that it gives us almost the only comfort, relief or content we know. The trouble is that through the abolishment of this emotional sedative, in case of re- moval or disappointment or death, there goes the very foundation of our world. And what can we turn to then?
 Independence Brings Happiness
 Our hearts are strange things. We would control them if we could but intense people. especially, are prone to put mind behind heart, and elevate certain loves to an ex- treme of importance. It's not health full from a standpoint of efficiency or normalcy. The less we learn to depend on one thing or one person for our entire happiness, the more chance we have for contented peace.
 A house or a chum or a horse may become a fixation. Recently I read story of a man who went murderous when his horse died. This can happen when the "object be- comes so imbedded in the emotions that every other balance goes when 1t goes.
 explain 1t, not to cause you worry, but rather to east your mind. Real fixations are not the rule. But 1t is sensible to watch any tendency of the child to overrate a possess sion.

STYLE CHATS
By AUDREY AMES

 Paris (UP)-Have you cock tail frillie" in your wardrobe? They were introduced by Jacques Helm in his summer collection.
 At the beach cafe or bar, when practical shorts seem a little tame and when whole dress seems en- tirely too formal, the 'frillie" makes the compromise. Here's an example: & tight white surah silk bath ing suit with one ruffle around its hem and two ruffies around the legs of the shorts which barely pepp out from under the bathing suit skirt. Still more ruffles edge the low V-neck and the puff sleeves.
 Another "frillie" brings grand mothers beach suit up-to-date. It is a bloomer suit made of gay silk print. A fully gathered blouse tops the abbreviated boomers and and short puffed sleeves add a mod est, alluring note. It is worn with a perky hat made of three big clamshells.
 Calculated to expose almost every centimeter of the skin to the sun is Helms "Atlantique," 8 "pareo" model which as first glance seems to be nothing more than brief tights and an equally brief bandeau. A closer inspection reveals the brown and-white cotton tights have draping at the hips.
 A new variation of the "frillie" and an offspring of the playsuit are the dressy shorts and blouses which will probably find more favor abroad than the more daring beach sugges. tions. White is the preferred color The material may be anything from cotton pique to satin-striped organ ga. It is the latter filmy material used in Helms deeply pleated shorts with 8 matching short-sleeved, high necked blouse.
 Crisp white linen is used for the same model but has the added dec- oration of white crocheted lace edging. White eyelet embroidery, "broderie Anglaise," makes the cool shorts and matching blouse of an- other dressy playsuit.

clip at the neck of a dress, a gay scarf or spic and spin white gloves, to give the practical clothes an air.
 In spite of the hurry of getting off to work on time, their lipstick is on straight-and there is plenty of it. Enough to give them spirit to meet the day.
 Their hair is soft and waved anc their flngernails are bright with color. Somewhere they find the time that good grooming requires.
 All that they have lost of femi- ninity in the struggle to be self supporting is it's uselessneSs and fiuttery nonsense. These women have the straightforward, unafraid look that comes only to those who know they can depend on them selves.
 You suspect that most of them are still too essentially feminine to Haunt their jobs, or to assume that any woman can get by without per- sonal charm and attractiveness.
 And that they aren't naive enough

 Can you cook? Can you make popovers? A thin, crispy crust all around 8 hollow-that's a popover. Lucy Mary Maltby, recipe lecturer, says all teen age girls and boys can be good cooks and have lots of fun in learning to make popovers.
 Popovers
 (about 12 of them)
 One cup flour, 1-8 teaspoon salt, l cup milk, 2 eggs, l tablespoon melted butter
 Sift flour once; then measure it., and combine with salt, milk and eggs. Beat mixture rapidly with a rotary egg beater for about 3 min- utes. To avoid spattering, take a clean sheet of paper and put it over the top of the mixing bowl. Then cut a slit through which to insert the egg beater.
 Add melted butter and beat mix ture for about 1-2 minute longer. Place 3 tablespoons of the popoyer batter in each ungreased glass cus- tard cup. The popover batter can climb farther up on an ungreased cup than on a greased one. This makes bigger and crisper popovers.
 Formerly it was thought that popovers needed to be put in hot, greased baking cups. Modern ex- periments have proved this pre- heating of baking cups to be wasted effort.
 Bake until the popovers feel crisp and firm while still in the oven. Otherwise they may collapse when taken from the oven. The oven heat may be reduced toward the last of the baking period, if the popovers get too brown before be- coming crisp. Time: about 40 min- utes of baking. Temperature: mod erately hot oven, 400 degrees F.
 Fancy Popovers
 Hot popovers filled with creamed meats or scrambled eggs are unusu- ally tasty as main luncheon dish.
 The crispest of popovers make attractive salad cases.
 Instead of making cream puffs Ca touchy jobD you can bake pop overs, cut the top part off part way round, tip the tops back and then fill them with strawberries or other fruit mixed with whipped cream A delicious dessert.
 Always sift flour once before measuring 1t, and always lift it lightly into the measuring cup.
 T0m0rrow's Menu
 BREAKFAST: SteWed cherries, bacon cornbread, honey. coffee, milk.
 LUNCHEON: Peach and peanut salad, French dressing, popovers, tea, milk.
 DINNER: Lamb chops, French fried potatoes, peas in cream, as- paragus with Hollandaise, straw berry cream pie, coffee, milk.

When purchasing Turk isk towels, look for merchandise tht has firm. tightly woven sell wage and smooth, well-finished hems; the basic weave should be close and firm; the pile soft, thick mad even. Never iron Turkish towels: wrinkles will shake out. Loose ends or uneven threads should be clipped off evenly. never pulled.

son? What about our sewerage system? Work
was started, over half completed and then
stopped Soon the State Board of Health will
demand that it be completed. Shall we wait
until that happens and all WPA and PWA funds
funds are exhausted?
What about our streets? Do you know of
town in the state that needs its main street
paved to the sidewalks and its secondary streets
paved any worse than West jefferson needs
today? And sidewalks? Well that's the same
story.
What about the beauty and cleanliness of
our town? Have you ever seen place that had
more trash and paper on it's streets and side
walks than West Jefferson has? Do we need
street cleaning and garbage collecting service?
What about our vacant lots? How well are they
kept cleaned off SO that prospective buyer
can see just exactly what he is buying?
We are not knocking the town and condemn

proud of West jefferson and Ashe county as
any firm, individual or institution here u.s. but
we are simply stating facts with the hope of
arousing sufficient interest that something may
be done about it.
