Hip Reducing
Exercises
Helpful
Rv PATRICIA LINDSAY.

From Danish shores and the IA
nous school of Niels Bukh, renowned
authority on physical education,
come series of routine movements
which help to reduce hip poundage
and strengthen the spinal column.
This rhythmic grouping is carefully
arranged and Mr.. Bukh cautions us
to at first, repeat the twistings and
bendings several times to one side
and then to change to the opposite
side. Later when the body is timber
and you have memorized the move
ments, they should be done rhyth-
mically from side to side, alternately.
Stand with feet slightly apart and
twist your trunk from side to side
about 10 times.
Return to erect standing position
and swing one leg forward and back
ward with wide swing from the
hips) about 10 times. Then swing
other leg about 10 times
Return to erect standing position
and lift one hip higher than the
other and walk a few steps forward
and backward, as If you were lame.
Repeat with other hip.
In a deep knee-bend position
bend the trunk forward and back
ward. Relax and repeat.
In the same deep-knee bend posi-
ton bend your trunk from side to
side. Relax and repeat.
Again in the deep-knee bend posi-
ton stretch one leg forward, keep
ing your balance Bend trunk to-
ward stretched knee and away from
bent knee. Relax. Repeat three
times. Return to deep-knee bend
position and stretch out opposite leg.
As these exercises are primarily
for women who are heavy in hips
and thighs, they will be found diff
cult at first. Take them slowly and
each day you will grow more prof.
cient in them. Once you have
memorized the series in the sequence
given above you can turn on the
radio or play a record and go
through the series in rhythm as the
music plays.
If you are serious in reducing
thighs and hips, exercise up to Is
minutes each day.

Dorothy Dix Says
Landlady and Star Boarder' Plan
Nav Cure Philanderine Husband

keep the door on the latch he will
come back when he pleases, and that
is better than having him gone en-
tirely.
You have three trump cards in
your hand. One is that, as your
husband says, he is used to you,
and that means a lot more than
meets the eye at first glance. 1t
means that he has gone through all
the trying period of adjustment with
you and he knows your moods and
lenses and how you react to certain
situations, and he doesn't want to
go through that job with another
woman.
Your second trump card is that
he likes his home. You make him
comfortable. You give him good
food. Everything is neat and clean
and to his liking. Wives don't real
ize how much a comfortable home
means to a man. Its appeal fingers
after romance has fed, and a wife
who in her husbands thoughts is
always connected with a clean
hearth and savory dinner has
something to conjure with.
And your ace card is the baby.
Your boy is getting to the interest :
ing age now when it is beginning
to walk and talk and he will grab
his fathers heart in his little hands
and hold it. He will draw his dad
back if anything on earth can.
think this arrangement that you and
your husband have made of living
together in the relationship of land
lady and boarder is a wise and de-
cent way of settling the problem of
the philandering husband. 1t is far
better than divorce, because it gives
you chance to think things over
before you make final break and
make mess of your lives.

ant eIeCC.
The house was built at a time
when closets must have been unim-
portant, or people wore all their
clothes. In our six-room house were
only a small kitchen pantry and a
2-by-3 -3-foot closet in one bedroom on
the second floor.
The kitchen floor space was large
for a modern house. so we decided
to arrange all the kitchen and laun-
dry equipment within that space,
using the pantry as closet room
for childrens school wraps and many
bits of play equipment.
At the far back of the closet tier
of shelves was put in. These held
bats and balls, tennis rackets and
similar things which were not in
daily use. In the middle OF the
closet hanger bar was installed at
q height where the children could
reach it. Toward the front, in a
good light to avoid the old refrain,
st can't find it," was a series OF
cubby holes and a shoe bag with
pockets placed above it. Each cubby
hole held rubbers or galoshes, and
the shoe bag pockets mittens, scarfs
and other accoutrements.
The two small bedrooms had no
closets for clothing and with two
little girls in one room and a good
sized boy with a collectors instinct
in the other something had to be
done. We were limited in floor space
so we decided to build in closets
which would be part of the deco
rative feature of the room as well.
On either side of one OF the Win
dows in the girls room we built
cupboard feet high with open space
on the top. On this dolls and toys
repose to add to the decoration. In
side, the floor is raised 3 inches so
that dust does not settle on the shoes
and boxes. A hanger bar holds
dresses and coats and boxes with
drop-down fronts hold hats and
muffs so that each may be put IN
its place. The closets were con-
structed of 11a-inch framing with
sides, shelf and top Of plyboard. They
have pinch pleated curtains with
brass rings at the top which slide on
a concealed rod. A similar closet
was built into the boys room, bal
anced on the other side of the win
dow by shelves for the display of
treasures.
The living room has three win
dows, an entrance door. a door to
the stairs and one to the dining
room and the kitchen side by side,
which left very little unbroken wall
space for furniture. We sealed the
door to the kitchen, thereby gaining
a wide space opposite the fireplace
for built-in bookshelves with an up
holstered seat at the base.

the walls completely with new wall
boarding, which was sized, painted
and enameled with canary yellow
washable finish. Shelves went all
around the room for a collection of
gay pottery, and other shelves were
placed for necessary kitchen gadgets.
Wall board was also cemented to the
kitchen floor as a base for copper
red inoleum with yellow and green
in its pattern. The inside of the
cupboards were lined with apple
green and the windows curtained
with old-fashioned white washable
muslin with deep cotton lace edging.
Over these are apple green calico
curtains with a ruffled valance. This
kitchen is combination of the
charm of grandmother day and the
efficiency of modern times. There is
no attempt at streamlining, but ice
box, stove and sink are arranged for
step saving; dish cupboards and
serving counter are close to the din
ing room door and cooking table and
cupboard are in good light and prox-
unity to stove and refrigerator. The
washing machine stands in its own
corner, where the wringer swings
over the laundry tray section of the
sink without moving the machine.

become popular If they had in
herited both million dollars and a
new face. But others later bios
somed into full-fledged glamour
girls, and Charlie then had the
satisfaction OF nodding wisely and
repeating, Sure. I discovered her"
He also had the fun of being a
pioneer, the adventure of meeting
many different girls, the experience
of trying his technique on many
different dating partners. And he
had more friends among both co-eds
and town girls than any other man
on the campus.
The popular girls always remem-
bered with gratitude that Charlie
had recognized their charms when
his dear brothers were ignoring them
and pursuing the favorite femmes
of the moment. And the girls who
never got around much were doubly
grateful to Charlie because he was
one of the few fellows who had
taken them out.
Why Always Play
The Favorite?
There's tip in this true tale for
any young modern who covets a
reputation for knowing his way
around. Why join the mad scramble
to date Gloria and Jean and Marge,
who just now rank as the bellies of
your town or your school? You'll
probably be just one of the herd to
them.
But across the aisle in chemistry
sits Mary F. Mary doesn't go out
much. She's rather shy and she's
not terribly pretty, although she
has a nice smile. She dresses rather
sensibly, but she's always neat and
fresh-looking.
You have everything to gain and
nothing to lose. Mary may be a
fascinating person when you get to
know her. All she needs is little
encouragement. She may be poten-
TALLY the smoothest dancer, the
smartest dresser and the most in
triguing talker in the whole school.
Again, she may not be. She may
turn out to be dud., But it will only
take you one or two dates to find out
and If you do enough experimenting
and exploring among the unknown
numbers you're bound to turn up a
couple Of winners.
In doing that you'll make a host
Of friends, you'll acquire lot of
poise and polish and sooner or later
you'll build yourself reputation for
being able to pick 'em. So get busy!
Forget the popularity princesses and
pay some attention to the ladies In
waiting. Some day one Of them will
be wearing crown-and then you1
have real friend at court.
This tip works almost as well for
girls as it does for fellows, although
maids opportunities for picking
her dates are naturally more lin
tied. But why waste your sighs and
your languishing glances on Tom
Tarzan, next years football captain

and the kind of man who gave
Greek gods their reputation? Why
take the attitude that If you can't
go out with the half-dozen most
popular boys in school you'd rather
sit at home and get your romance
second hand from the heart-throb
magazines?
Give Bashful Ones
Some Encouragement.
Joe, the boy down the street who
looks at you as though he'd ask you
for a date if given a little encour-
agement, may be no Adonis. He
may have coWlick and a rather
large nose and his dancing is prob
ably nothing to make Fred Astaire
worry about the future. But he may
still be swell person, with grand
sense of humor and the knack of
making a girl feel like queen, SIM
ply by his thoughtfulness and kind
ness and consideration.
So, be friendly to Joe-and to Bill,
the bashful brother of one of your
friends, and to Harry, whom you al
ways rather liked but who fails to
register with the other girls. Let
them see that you're one girl who
isn't overly impressed by present
popularity. Even if you get an
occasional rush from the glamour
boys, don't let the idea spread that
you're permanent member of the
chosen few. Be ready to spend an
evening with any nice boy who
shows promise of being interesting
even if he's making his very first
plunge into the social pool.
You'll be struck with a drip now
and then, of course. But what's the
difference? You can learn a val
liable lesson in speeding the un-
wanted escort on his way with no
hard feelings. And you're almost
sure to strike gold in one or two
cases-which is all that any pros
pector can hope for.
So don't pine after the glamour
girls or the handsomest men. Do a
little pioneering in the great un-
dated spaces. Make Charles motto
your motto: Sure. I get 'em be-
fore they're popular"

The bathroom is complete in a
5-by-6 space. A capacious white
porcelain shower stall was purchased
instead of the tub. This extends
beyond the window, but is not Wis

Army Muneuvers

Army maneuvers Just concluded in
nearby Virginia have had one result
which is of outstanding Importance
to the cause Of national security.
They have revealed that the Army's
outstanding lack is not so much man
power or modern equipment as it is
the lack of trained, co-ordinated
stats for the larger organizations.
The Army and the National Guard
are composed of excellent units, as
has been demonstrated during the
past two weeks. The battalions are
splendidly trained and function with
precision, intelligence and skill on
the march, in camp or in tactical
maneuvers. The battalion work
throughout the maneuvers was uni
formly of high standard during the
two weeks
Regimental work also was good,
though less uniform than that OF the
battalions, since it is rare that Ma
tional Guard regiments can be as
sembled for training as units. There
is ordinarily no opportunity for
brigades or divisions to work to-
gether.
The battalions may be considered
the building bricks of the Army. But
a pile Of bricks is not house. Nor
are battalions an army, unless they
are welded together as integral parts
of whole. The cement which holds
the larger army units together is the
staff work of the higher commands.
If division is to function as a unit
it must be controlled by a general
and staff trained and accustomed
to working as team Various men,
berS of the staff must know each
others methods, strengths and
weaknesses.
Teamwork can be acquired only
through actually working together
until roughnesses are ironed out and
smooth, co-ordinated action results.
This is indispensable to the proper
functioning OF any large human Or
ganization, particularly of a military
organization. The functioning Of
division and army stats as teams,
now that expansion and re-equip-
ment Of the Army is going ahead in
accordance with the new national
defense policy, stands as the greatest
military need Of the service Ma
neuvers Of the type just concluded
are necessary to the training OF the
larger stats and should be held reg
ularly throughout the Army If the
country is to reap the benefit Of the
excellence in the battalions and
smaller units of the service.

Discusses Question Of
Glenn Dale Nurses.
To the Edifor of I,he Star.

was thoroughly shocked to read In
Tuesdays Evening Star that a group
OF nurses at Glenn Dale Sanatorium are
anxious to have the Commissioners re-
scind their decision to send l6 colored
nurses to the Glenn Dale Sanatorium.
1t Is quite apparent that here is 4
group OF individuals who are literally
asking the Commissioners to run the
sanatorium not for the welfare Of the
patients, but rather for the personal
convenience OF limited number Of
nurses. Such request is extremely un-
fair for the following reasons:
l. These is colored nurses have ouali-
ned according to the health standards of
the District as competent trained nurses
2. 1t is evident that this decision of
the Commissioners is based upon their
inclination to build up the efficiency of
the Districts general health program.
8. The protests center about a handful
OF nurses at Glenn Dale, whose interests
are purely personal.
4. Sixteen Negro nurses in an institu
ton where so per cent of the patients are
Negroes certainly does not represent 4
community catastrophe.
S. If fairness and justice are any part
OF the philosophy of a democracy, such
a preJudiced appeal as these nurses have
made to the Commissioners is most un-
just. GEORGE w. GOODMAN

Wartime Dictatorship

America is making plans for die
tatorship that will regiment all the
material resources OF the Nation as
they have never been regimented be-
fore. This will not be political die
tatorship calculated to overturn ira
ditional democratic processes of gov.
ernment, but wartime dictatorship
designed to save democracy by
prompt and effective mobilization of
industry as we'll as manpower in
event the United States should 70 to
war.
Acting Secretary of War Louis
Johnson disclosed part of the pro-
gram in an address before the newly
created War Resources Board, COM
posed Of six outstanding representa-
tives OF industry under leadership of
Edward R. Stettinius, chairman OF
the United States Steel Corporation.
Mr.. johnson said that the exigencies
Of war demand that tremendous au-
thority looking toward control Of the
Nations economic resources should
be vested in one official, subject to
authority of the President, who, OF
course, would be the supreme dicta-
tor. The chairman of the War Re-
sources Administration, into which
the War Resources Board would auto
matically be transformed in time of
war, probably would become wartime
industrial dictator, Mr.. Johnson said,
with the other members of the ad-
ministration serving as advisers or
assistants. The War Resources Ad-
miniStration of Americas next war
will be counterpart of the War In
dustries Board of the World War
except that the chairman of the new
board will have an absolute authority
denied to the chairman of the
wartime agency. That board, Mr..
Johnson pointed out, suffered from
inexperience and inertia" It's men,
bers acted in harmony, he said, but
the boards administrative machinery
proved to be sluggish and inadequate.
Lessons learned in 1917 and 1918
are being used to advantage by to-
days planners for industrial mobili-
zation in any future conflict.
The War Department has worked
out comprehensive plan for quick
mobilization of material, labor and
capital to back up the Nations mill
tary forces-with careful attention to
safeguarding business, labor and
other civil elements from unnecessary
hardships. The whole program has
been formulated to bring every
essential resource to bear against a
common enemy. This will be CO.
ordinated regimentation of the
Nation for the purpose of self-preser-
vation; for perpetuation Of way of
life in which relationships have no
place except in time of war.

Says Thanksgiving Should
Remain InviOlate.
o the Editor of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
Comment on change OF date for
Thanksgiving observance this year has
progressed mainly on the idea of the
commercial benefits to result therefrom.
What was the motive which inspired the
first Thanksgiving celebration? Com
mercial advantages? Material profits?
Indeed, no. Hearts Of men and women
were attuned to gratitude for divine
favor and as reverential individuals they
longed for a place of worship in which
to utter prayer. Essentially from this
concerted disposition Thanksgiving
emerged as an American institution-a
day for reckoning; day when material
receipts were weighed in the scales OF
spiritual appraisement.
There is something of sanctity in the
Thanksgiving pause. Tradition has hal
lowed the observance; other generations
have honored it; presidential proclama-
tions have revered 1t. 1t is an invincible
heritage which merits preservation. It is
a bulwark OF inspiration that should, in
the changes Of time, remain inviolate.
