On several occasions we have
listened and enjoyed hearing
the song Carry Me Back To

it was rendered by a noted

turned to me and asked,
Mother, why does she want to

Own Office

Back to Mississippi the path
goes, while our career woman
established and published her
own magazine, The Woman
Voter. Following that she opened
her own office for publicity and
advertising, and in 1888 came
to Washington by special ap-
pointment to serve as postmiS-
tress of the Senate.
During all this time Miss White
has been active in the Business
and Professional Women's Club,
an organization which she helped
to found. That she is now its

natural course of events.

Keep Your
Back Straight

You are drilled in keeping the
back at the waistline flat on the
floor. There is an in-curve at the
waistline in nearly all unframed
figures and the modern idea is
to keep the back straight.
Just lie on the floor and if
you can slide your fingertips un-
der the back at the waist, you
have something to do, but just
pull up the knees over the chest,
and with the SoleS on the floor,
slide the legs slowly down until
they are stretched full length.
There is pull-in at the alb
domen and you will have to do it
a great many times before you
begin to use the back and alb
domen muscles to effect the best
results.

 France Not Excited
 Paris, Aug. 15-UP)-French- men merged the German army ma neuvers into 8 general picture today, including relations with Italy, the Spanish civil war and minority ne- gotiations in Czechoslovakia, and took the view that watchfulness was essential but that there was no req son for alarm.
 It was noted that while the news papers continued to publish stories emphasizing the size of the German war games, their news stories de- scribed excitement in London, Prague and even Washington but said nothing of excitement here. The foreign office gave the lead in refusing to be excited, but even left wing newspapers, usually first to seize on any material which might show the German situation to be alarming gave very little space to the maneuvers as cause for anxiety here.

ROOSEVELT, JR.
 BACK IN BOSTON
John Returns With Bride After Honeymoon; Starts
 to Work Soon

Boston, Aug. 15--(UP) John Roosevelt, youngest son of the president, brought his bride of two months back to Boston today and prepared to go to work as an $l8- a-week department store employe. Young Roosevelt and the former Anne Lindsay Clark arrived here aboard the 8. s. Lady Drake after a Bermuda honeymoon trip. They were greeted at Commonwealth Pier by the brides mother, Mrs. P. Haven Clark, and sister, Miss Sally Clark. Mrs. Roosevelt, wearing a gray silk print trimmed with bur- gundy, exclaimed over the solitaire diamond displayed by Sally, whose engagement to George Xavier Mo- Lanahan, New York socialite, was announced last night. Mrs. Roose- welt was breathlessly recounting in- cidents of the voyage when her hus- band, wearing a double-breasted sand-colored gabardine suit, joined the family party on rear deck.
 After exchanging greetings, he said that he and his bride will re- main at the Clark summer home at Nahant until Wednesday or Thurs day and then go to the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park. He will begin work at the William Filene's Sons Company department store late this month. Young Roosevelt said he applied for the job just before his marriage in June. "I'll do any, thing they want me to do, like any, body else, but I hope it will have some advertising experience con- nected with it." he declared. The department store already has said he will be given junior work" and take the store school course pre- scribed for all beginners.
 Asked if he had not received more tempting offers of jobs, he said.
 That depends on what you call tempting"
 He said he would not permit the exploitation of his name.

the maneuvers only through the departure of relatives who are re- servists, by the scarcity of citrus fruits on the market and by the fact that people had to wait a little long CT this morning for busses to take them to work, because many busses were communicated for the ma neuvers.
 The expression test mobilization" is officially deprecated as incorrect. However, the maneuvers will affect civilian life to greater extent than previous postwar maneuvers. One of the objects seems to be to test how production and general econ- omic life may be carried on under war conditions.
 Laws Help Mobilization
 Two recent laws enabled the gov- ernment to require greater coopera- ton with the army-conscription of labor and requisitioning of such things as busses. The army is mak- ing effective use of the laws by drafting labor for Notifications and requisitioning vehicles and horses for the maneuverS.
 Last summer there were mass ma neuvers. But this year there will be separate maneuvers in each of about 18 corps areas, including three in Austria, and especially in frontier districts. There was announcement of specific problems to be worked but it was believed in foreign cir cles that exercises would be largely concentrated on frontier problems
 The individual army corps ma neuvers to be held in East Prussia will be attended by most of the for eign military attaches. The attaches are expected to attend also the games to be held in Silesia, Austria and Bavaria-especially interesting to them since they will be held near the Czech frontier.
 Near Danish Border
 It was forecast that the first ma neuvers in which large reserve units would participate, would be in Meek lenburg and Sleswig, near the Dan- ish border. Reserves are expected to include men who had not been in uniform since the World war.
 Requisitioning of private trucks and horses has been proceeding at an increasing pace for several weeks Groups of as many as 30 to 40 trucks requisitioned from vegetable, fish and other dealers have been seen on country roads for several days Some mail trucks have been taken over. Suburban and rural passenger busses have been requisitioned. Al one Baltic coast resort, at the height of its season, it is reported that five out of seven busses have been taken. Advises from western Germany say that many motorcy- cles have been requisitioned. Their owner are allowed five marks ($2) day compensation plus pfennigs 0.3 cents) a mile. It is provided that if motorcycle Is ruined, the owner will be in full accordance to its valuation, by a government as- Sessor.

Quarters close to the ministry of interior intimated that Premier Mi Ian Hodza was prepared to stand firm if the Sudeten German party attempted to utilize Germany's show of strength" to obtain maxi mum concessions in the minority problem.
 Leaders of tie six coalition parties on which the government depends for support were emphatic in their demands that the cabinet resist any pressure from any source.
 Executives of the Sudeten German party told the United Press they did not intend to link any happenings in Germany with the minority nego- tiations. At the same time they said they would not consent to negotiate with members of the government coalition parties and they would in- sist on negotiating with the govern ment alone.
 We are not going to allow nego- tiations to be delayed by political die hards," said a spokesman. This is question between the minority and the government"
 Clash Is Forecast
 This meant a disagreement over procedure and it was forecast that there would be a clash, perhaps a serious one, in a conference Wednes- day between government representa- tives and the Sudeten party, with Runciman sitting in as adviser.
 Last week Premier Hodza said that he was willing to negotiate di- rectly with the German minority leaders. But today the government gave in 70 the demands of its own coalition parties that they be per- mitted to participate. It was under stood that Hodza was trying to effect compromise by which the coalition parties would participate as observ- CTS only.
 Nevertheless authoritative quar- ters predicted that negotiations might be broken off during the week just as the German maneuvers were well under way.
