N EHL1N.-Germany has become q
X marching nation under Nazism.
Come to Germany any Sunday
morning, and the tramp, tramp OF
booted feet is bound to impress you.
Come on national holiday, or during
the present fall maneuvers and you ex-
perience a tenfold intensification of the
Sunday scene. Hundreds of thousands of
young army reserves are in uniform during
this period.
Come on an ordinary day, and at least
scripts tramping, spade over shoulder, to
their work, black-uniformed "SS" men
mounting guard. and. likely as not, factory
workers parading to some political demon
stration, or to some festival of their own or
of their firm.
Sunday Big Drill Day.
Sunday is drill day for the numerous
quasi-military formations Of the Nazi
movement The "Pimpfe," youngsters
from 10 to IA years of age; the Hitler
Youth, lads between IA and 18; the Brown
SA and the Black SIS, both in the vigor of
early manhood-all are put through setting
up exercises, semi-warlike sports and es-
pecially through snappy marching drills
on Sundays
Nazi Germany is crazy about we'll
executed marching. In no other nation does
marching seem so much to be an end in
itself as in Germany. A Teuton crowd can
go into ecstacies over minutely precise
goose-stepping.
Snappy marches, too, are what the radio
listener hears from morning early till late
at night There are plenty of propaganda
many offerings of classical music But the
march is an integral and prominent part
of the days radio offerings.
Shaving goes twice as fast when I hear
marked one day. He never fails to turn on
the radio when marches are played
Uniforms in Endless Variety.
Marching in ordinary citizens clothes is
but rarely an imposing affair. Hand in
hand, therefore, with the remaking of Ger
many under Nazism into nation of
marchers has developed a multiplicity and
variety of uniforms that are bewildering.
Adolf Hitler himself says that a uni
formed man is much more self-assertive
and confident than one in civilians.
The marching German nation has there
fore also become one of uniforms
The backbone of uniformed Germany
is the field gray of the army, the deep blue
of the navy and the blush gray of the air
force
OF almost equal prominence, however, in
the daily picture are the earthen gray uni
form of the labor battalions and the brown
and black Of the Storm Troops (SA) and
the Security Service (SS), respectively.
In addition, there are the brown blouse and
black shorts of the Hitler Youth and the
brown blouse and black shirt of the "Bund
Deutscher Maedel" Federation of German

newest color schemes white predom-

For millinery shops and similar
stores which deal in women's ap-
parel, daintiness Is sought. Thus pas
tells, ranging through pink. salmon,
light blue, turquoise or blue-green,
are favored. Frequently a very light
tint is used for the walls-with Z
slightly darker shade Of the same
color for trim. Such a color treat
ment makes an effective BACKGROUND
for the bright colors Of hats and
gowns.
Gift shops and art supply stores
naturally try to achieve an artistic
air. Light orange with accents Of
blue-of the same intensity Of the
orange-decorates the outside Of one
downtown gift shop, while on the
inside the display shelves are orange
with floor. Dashboard and trim painted
black. Another shop with the same
general scheme has the door painted

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-That store
fronts, painted in bright. definite
co!ors, add distinction to the shop
within and are easily remembered
by passers-by, is being recognized
more and more by Manhattan mer-
chants. A recent informal survey
reveals this fact and demonstrates
that certain businesses tend to adopt
characteristic color schemes which
subtly suggest some attribute of their
work. Shop owners are discovering
that an attractive paint scheme is
little, If any. more expensive than
the ordinary freshening-up Job and
that it can often be made to yield
gratifying returns.
Bakeries, for example, are being
made to suggest cleanliness by paint
ing exterior surfaces white, accented
by bright modern note OF. green,
blue, red or yellow. Painting the
interior white and gray provides q
neutral, yet CHEEKY, setting for the
golden yellow loaves Of bread and
the bright-colored cakes and pas
teries.
Hardware stores, on the other hand,
need strong colors for their exteriors
-colors such as red and blue. The
front Of one small shop was made
to stand out from a long row Of
others by using vermilion, with black
as the trim. The same scheme in
troduced indoors made smart, Wig

The gains In loan dollar volume,
when 1887 Is compared with 1896,

spheres Of home building and home
buying loans. Construction advances

exception. Many boy and girl with 8 fine start in life has lost his ad- vantage along the way. All the. gym work they get in school won't help, 1t seems. They slouch when they walk and not only follow their noses but their foreheads.
 We might blame poor posture on school and long hours of study. Perhaps it does have its effect. But children of old studied longer hours than ours and came out with fine straight bodies. William Penn at nine, studied and recited in sev- enteenth century England from 6 a. m. to 6 p. m. Yet he was a fine figure of 8 man. And others we might mention did the same. It cannot be all school, then, can it?
 Chairs, Not Diet
 And it isn't food, for most young sters of this age eat their weight in nourishment. It is chairs. Chairs and the way they sit on them.
 Our chairs today are too com- fortable. When Ida May or Joseph come in from school, they seek 8 couch and loll. When they sit in the "club" chair they hook their legs over the sides and slide their backbones into arcs against soft upholstery. It won't hurt them a bit, if they can get up and stay LID straight. But if there is ten- Cency to bend, then they must learn to sit as others sit, without favor ing their bodies.
 It does no good to talk. You cannot talk 8 boy or girl into pos- ture. But reminding does some good if they are backed against wall and told to touch 1t with head, shoulders and calves. Once @ mother took g snap of her daugh- ter beside friend. The compari- son shocked the girl into holding her head up.

Glor1ing Yourself

 Bad posture is a prevalent cause of the tired feeling that so many business women have at the end of the day.
 One who has no intention of let ting the eight hours of work she must do take such 8 toll of her energy that she seljom has any fun at all during the sixteen remaining non-working hours might find it worthwhile to improve her stand ing, sitting and walking carriage. Naturally, it's quite possible some thing else (perhaps just plain hard work) is making her chemically tired. Even so. she has nothing to lose and great deal to gain by making sure that her posture is ab- solutely perfect.
 For instance, the girl who works at 8 typewriter desk all day long will find that she has fewer little pains in the back of her neck and less of down and out feeling at the days end if she sits back firm ly in her chair. The lower part her back should touch the back of the chair with the weight of her torso supported by hip bones and thighs. Neck and spinal column should be in straight line, stom- ach in, chest high. Feet ought to be flat on the floor.
 If, in spite of correct seated pos- ture, your neck gets tired in the middle of the afternoon let your head fall forward as far as possible and turn it slowly to the right, then to the left. Now let it fall backward and turn it right to left again. Also, shrug your shoulders up and down several times. Both of these exercises will relax tired and aching muscles.
 If you have to be behind coun- ter most of the day, be sure that you stand with weight evenly dis tributed on both feet, stomach in, backbone straight and chest high. An exaggerated hollow in the cen- ter of your spinal column will make stomach protrude, hips look inches larger than they actually are and, in addition, make you tired all too soon.

others viewpoints, of really lis- tening when they speak, of for getting their shortcomings and magnifying their good points. Make it your business to know all types of people. If you try to for get yourself and whether you feel superior or inferior, you will make friends wherever you go.
 Among young girls there is ten- dency to carry the idea of self-ex- precision much too far. Less con- centration on ones self and less frequent use of the personal pro- noun make for kindlinesS, the very fundamental of charm.
 And, speaking of carrying self eXpressoin too far, think it's mis- take to talk too much about your self the first few weeks you are in a new community, in girls club or dormitory. Listen to others for a while, saving something for yourself for later on.
 Don't tell your entire history and go into detail about every emotion you ever have experienced until you have had time to look around and find your own level among people whose friendship you will want to keep. There's nothing more un- pleasant than realizing that 8 per- son whom you have grown to dis like knows too many of your inner most secrets-and all because you told them yourself.
 It is better to be shy and retir- ing, letting yourself go quite rnno- ticed for weeks, even at the risk of being homesick and lonely, than to be a flash-in-the-pan person liked, noticed and talked about for short time, then pushed back into oblivion all too quickly.
