 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

It's a season of curves - softly rounded ones to set off new spring clothes which are feminine to the nth degree. And the way to sleeker | just-right curves instead of rolls and Jumps in the wrong places is through exercise.
 You can, simply by doing the tried-and-true rolling exercise from fifty to seventy times each morning, coax your hips into attractive lines, eliminate those bumps on thighs. It's as simple as that. Or, if your figure problems are concentrated at the Waistline, you can, by doing bending and stretching routines regularly and correctly, get rid of quite a large roh in about two months.
 However, if you do exercises only now and then and eat everything in sight every time you have a chance, you needn't expect such rapid results. In fact, you needn't expect any lasting results at all. Any kind of exercise will make you more graceful, less heavy looking and feeling, but only the day-after- day variety can change your meas urements.
 If your stomach bulges over the l bands on skirts that were comfort able year ago, do these two eXer- cises every morning for two months and see what happens:
 ,{,, @&<I. stand with feet wide apart, hands stretched toward the ceiling. Now, 1 swinging from the WaiStline, touch left toes with rgiht fingertips. Back to position, then touch right toes with left fingertips. Back to posi- ton, then touch right toes with left fingertips. Repeat ten times the first five mornings, eleven the sixth twelve the seventh, and so on until you are bending forty or fifty times a day.
 Now ride an imaginary bicycle while lying on your back on the floor. Keeping shoulders flat against the floor, support hips with hands stretch legs upward. then work the imaginary pedals. Bring right knee stretching right toes toward the ceiling. This should be done rapidly repeated ten times in the beginning and the number gradually increas- ed
 The way to curves if you art all angles and at spots is through proper diet and more sleep. One who is painfully thin ought to set her family doctor, of course, to fine out whether or not some organic defeat is the answer to the under. weight condition. If she is physi. cally sound, there's probably nc reason in the world why she canno gain few pounds if she really wants to.
 Regularity of routine is the grea weight producer. If you doubt this simply get the head of military school to tell you how much weigh the average boy gains during hi first semester due to regular sleep. ing and meal hours.

For X-ray ob- servation of digestive processes the cats had to be restrained in a holder. While so restrained the males, particularly the young males, were restive and excited and their gastric peristaltic waves were absent. But the females. especially the older females, submitted calm ly, and in them the peristaltic waves continued normally. One fe- male with kittens, however, turned from her state of quiet contentment to one of apparent restless anxiety In her the stomach movements stopped, the stomach wall became relaxed and f1abby, and only after she had been petted and began to purr did the peristaltic waves start again in their normal way.
