Five Simple
Exercises
For All
Routine Only Takes
Several Minutes
Each Morning
BY PARTICIA LINDSAY.

Frequently I am asked why 1t Is
that the same exercises are given
for reducing overweights and for
building up underweights. Here is
the answer.
Exercises done regularly every day
tend to distribute the flesh proper
tionately if you need refashioning
because of surplus pounds. The
same exercises will firm undeveloped
muscles and create healthy, normal
appetites. Flesh accumulates over
soft, flabby muscles. AS muscles
firm the surplus pounds disappear.
OF course, an overweight must
watch her menus daily, too, if she
definitely wishes to slim.
The following exercises should be
done before breakfast every morn
ing near an opened window or, if
the weather is chilly, in we'll ven-
tilated room. Stout and slim busi-
ness girls who sit at their work dur
ing the day will greatly benefit from
these simple movements.
l. Stand erect with feet 2 inches
apart. Place your hands on your
hips and breathe so deeply that you
can notice the chest being raised.
Exhale slowly. Do 10 times.
Q CtopI oronf v,ifI foot . iv,nI &c
apart. Clasp hands as high as pos
sible over head and bend forward
rhythmically. First slightly to the
right, up, and then slightly to the
left. Do this 10 times.
8. Stand erect, hands on hips.
Turn the upper part of the body
as far to the left as possible as you
tilt your head over your right
shoulder. Swing slowly back to
erect position, eyes and head for
ward. Then reverse the movement
to the right. Ten times each way.
4. Stand erect in good posture
head up and shoulders back. Place
hands on hips. Place heels almost
together and turn toes slightly out
Raise slowly on the balls of the feet
keeping body erect. Then bend
knees and lower thighs until they
are resting on the calves of the legs
Still keeping on toes, raise yourself
up erectly, then relax. Do this 10
times. 1t is difficult at first.
S. Then finish the routine by
bending from the waist, keeping
knees straight and touching toes
Do this 10, 20 or 80 times. Excellent
for strengthening the abdomen.
These five exercises should take
you no longer than from to min
utes and they will do much to keep
you in condition. Begin now-have
a more supple body for holiday
time!

all parts of the body. Write us your
figure problem and we will mail you

IN numberleSs homes. They ap-
peal particularly to the hostess
who wishes unusual items for her
menus, and for those housekeepers
who have neither space nor time for
elaborate meal preparation.
I'm just an old-fashioned body
at heart-and I do miss the fun
that used to come with the first
green peas in June, and corn on the
cob in August. I still can't get
reconciled to seeing Strawberries
in the market 10 months out of
the year. I shy from poke salad
in the middle of winter. Oh. know
that our food preservation and
transportation system is marvellous,
and we should all thank our stars
that we live in country where
this is so-but I wish I could get
the kick out of a bunch of asparagus
that I did in my young days, when
the season was so short that every
one made perfect pigs of themselves
over the tender green stalks for its
duration!
Over Seventy
Items Available.
But this is all beside the point.
and merely the ramblings of the
aged! The children of today look
upon food as a day-to-day affair
seasons do not exist, and it is simply
a matter of what would you like for
dinner, dear?" and dear" gets it.
Our canning industry has been
perfecting its products to the nth
degree, and the frosted foods are
now following suit. One brand alone
has over 70 items in it's list, rang:
ing from red raspberries, broccoli,
fish and meats to large, plump
turkey, complete with giblets. There
are ducks and chickens and oysters
and fish steaks and fillets; there
are lamb chops and juicy beef
steaks: in fact, the fancy of the
housekeeper can almost be her guide
in selecting her menus if she uses
this type of food.
There is great advantage in the
fact that all products come ready
for cooking; that is, they have been
cleaned and dressed, stemmed,
washed or shelled as the case may
be. Meats are trimmed down to
just the edible portions, and all the
foods are so compactly packaged
that they take little storage space.
The defrosting is easily done, and
in many instances cooking time
1t cut considerably.
The freezing is done as soon as
the various items are picked or
dressed and thus destroys harm
full bacteria that would otherwise
cause spoilage. We are told that by
this process little or no food values
are lost, which should mean much to
the housekeeper who is fussy about
retaining vitamins, ETC. Flavor and
texture are remarkably fine.
Other Market News
Reported.
In spite of that important looking
subhead there really isn't much to
report. Things are relatively un-
changed since last week. In the
fish markets they are much excited
about soft-shelled crabs, which are
coming in larger than usual and in
good shipments. This means the

Fabric Test
The burning tests given below
will sound pretty fantastic for the
average shopper. You can't go
around defying the fire laws in de-
partment stores. But when the
merchandise is delivered to your
home you can ravel one small
thread from the seam of a dress or
the hem of necktie and do a littls
experimenting then and there.
If your test bellies the stores claim,
you are perfectly justified in return
ing the purchase if you have not
damaged it.
These tests are far from con-
elusive. Because often many different
fibers may be combined in one
thread. But if the thread reacts
at all suspiciously-if a supposedly
| all-Wool thread burns readily-you
know it contains some cotton. Also,
often the warp may be one thing
and the weft another So you will
have to test both to get line o'
the fabric. However, here are the
amateur tests-the best you can do
outside Of. laboratory.
Silk, Pure Dye-Burns slowly
When the flame is extinguished a
small, brittle ball is left on the end.
This ball is easily crushed with the
| fingers.
Silk. Weighted-The burnt fibers
will glow and retain their shape.
The metallic weighing remains.
Rayon, Cuprammonium or Viscose
Types-Burn very rapidly, almost
in a flash, leaving no ash.
Rayon, Acetate Type-Burns slow.

ball on the end similar in appear
ance to the ball on the silk fiber,
but hard like glass.
Linen-When wet absorbs moisture
thirstily unlike cotton, which re.
sists water
Cotton-Burns rather rapidly, with
a pin-point glow on the end, leaving
virtually no ash.
Wool-Does not burn readily, but
bubbles and glows as it burns. Tha
characteristic animal odor is ample
Identification.
General Test for Weaves-Scratch
the fabric with your nail. II you
can push the threads together, leav-
ing scar, the weave is unsatisfac-
tory. 1t will pull at the seams and
become sleazy.
General Test for Warmth-Hold
the fabric to the light. If the light
comes through, so will the wind

DEAR MISS DIX-During my first
year of high school I met Walter and
I have been going steady with him
for the last five years. At first was
terribly in love with him and was
thrilled to death when he kissed me,
but now the affair has Just about
worn itself out so far as I am con-
cerned. Walter has gotten on my
nerves. We are forever arguing and
quarreling, and I am just tired of
1t all. want to 60 out with other
boys and have good time and not
think about getting married, but
Walter says that if we break up he
will kill himself. I have talked to
my mother about it. but she says I
have gone with Walter too long to
break with him and that people will
expect me to marry him. I hate to
hurt him, but what about me?
BETTY.
Answer-Your case is just another
illustration of the insane folly of
keeping company and letting a boy
monopolize you until it is almost as
difficult to break with him when you
get tired of him as it is to get a
divorce.
The custom has all of the worst
features of marriage and none of it's
advantages. For the unfortunate
couple who have been going steady
with each other are neither bound
nor free. They have no right to
control each others actions, no GER
tainty even of ever marrying, yet
they feel that they have as much
authority over each other as hus-
bands and wives. Not without rea-
son has a wit described a couple
who are keeping company" as ex-
listing in state Of suspended ami
nation.
OF course, the main risk in going
steady has always been the girls,
for she got the hot end of the bar
gain. She let some one man segre-
gate her from the herd of boys and
mark her for his own: She became
known as Toms girl or Bob's girl
and was as much out of the matri-
monial running as if she had been
married, but the trouble was she
wasn't married. She didn't have
the faint hold on the boy of even
an engagement. When he got tired
or some other girl caught his fancy,

Teen Age Girls Make Mistake
In Going With One Boy Only

he simply kissed and rode away and
that was the end of it so far as she
was concerned.
The world is full of old maids who
would have been happy wives and
mothers if they hadn't wasted their
youth and beauty in going steady
with boys who gave them the air in
the end. The great tragedy, how
ever. in the pernicious keeping
company" custom, comes in when
one or the other or both of the
parties, as frequently happens, have
got tired of each other, have out
grown their youthful fancies for
each other, yet are forced into mar
riage by habit and by the expecta-
tions of their families and friends.
Their romance is over. Their love
is dead. They have already got
on each others nerves and are ar
guing and quarreling like old mar
rled couples. The wedding cake is
stale and they have lost their appe-
tite for it, but they lack the courage
to call the affair off and look about
for fresh prospect.
1t takes lot of love to keep mar
rlage a going concern, and no man
or woman makes a greater mistake
than to marry the one for whom he
or she has lost his or her taste. 1t
isn't kindness to the party of the
other part. It is a crime against him
or her worse than murder. And no
one need be afraid that the ag-
grieved party will commit suicide.
Men have died and worms have
eaten them, but not for love-"

When Nations Put Their

Henry Ford Is not intellectual The world OF DOCKS

confusion he showed in dffeenatng between Arnold
Bennett and Benedict Arnold his hazness about the exact
dates Of the American Revolution revealed his unfamay
with the world Of book learning
But the Ford mind has uncanny realism, moments
when it cuts through surface show and gets right down to
the real thing Such moment came recently at the New
York Worlds fair Ford surveyed the exhibits remarked
that they could scarcely fail be inspiration to
America, and then burted out
Look at the nations represented here These exhibits
and not their wars show their character They have

Why do they send their newest tanks their newest

petitions and circulated them
entirely on their own initiative.
The union, in the beginning, had
nothing whatever to do with
the matter.
1t is true that the committee
has been allowed to meet with
Mr.. Tenzler and his supervisory
staff, but such meetings could
hardly be called negotiations.
Rather than get right down to
business with the shop commit
tee, Mr.. Tenzler would spend
hours Of time telling the COM
mitteemen how lucky they were
to be working at any wage.
When asked to get down to
specific cases, he would refuse
=. saying that his wages were
in line with other plants" The
present strike could easily have
been averted, had Mr.. Tenzler
wanted to be even half fair with
his men.
We union men have no definite
way of knowing whether the
company is underselling its COM
petitors, but we do know that
Mr.. Tenzler has been able to
accumulate nearly half a mil
lion dollars during the past three
years with which to purchase
new buildings and the most mod
ern and costly machinery used
in the entire plywood and door
industry.
We union employees at the
Northwest Door Co. feel that
our cause il a just one. We are
not reds" or vicious trouble
makers. Most of US own our
own homes here in Tacoma, and
are family men. We are asking
only for fair wages and decent
working conditions. Since the
beginning of our strike we have
received many offers of finan-
cial and moral support from the
citizens OF Tacoma. In behalf
of our entire membership. l wish
to express appreciation for the
sympathy and kindness thus far
extended to US.
