To Reduce
Waistline
Exercise
Bumps and Bulges
Easily Removed
From Midrif
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

According to Nells Bukh whose IA
nous exercises l feature occasionally
in this column, the heightened
wasp waist. so much in fashion to-
day, is achieved by stretching and
twisting the muscles Of the waist
line. He has devised a series of
movements which, if done regularly
and rhythmically, tends to slim the
waist noticeably. His theory is that
these suggested twisting and bend
ings will remove the bumps and
bulges of flesh which thicken the
midrif OF the inactive body.
Stand with feet apart with body
completely relaxed Drop your torso
to one side. bending the knee slightly
and touch your ankle with your
hand. Return to standing position,
completely relaxed, and drop torso
to other side.
Stand in erect position. With all
the movement in the waist, twist the
upper part of your body vigorously
to one side, pushing the shoulder as
far back as possible. Then swing
the upper part of your body to other
side pushing that shoulder back as
far as possible.
Do this exercise in a rhythmical
swing as if it were part of a dance
Repeat 10 times.
Now drop the body forward Imply,
knees slightly bent, hands touching
the toes. From this position bob"
up and down five or six times as if
you were puppet and some one was
pulling you up by string and then
releasing you. Relax and repeat
three or four times.

few hothouse grapes from Belgium
have managed to brave the terror of

grapes and persimmons are on hand.
Greens make news in the vege-
table line this Week-with collards,
turnip tops, spinach and new cab
bage all leading the field. Lima
beans continue sky-high, peas aren't
much better. Cauliflower from Long
Island is good, and lettuce is plen-
tlful and cheap. White potatoes
seem little high in price. but there
are plenty of sweets, at new lows,
to make up for them. A few shops
have the first of the baby. red
skinned new potatoes, much to my
delight.

In Harsh Manner

Nv ANGELO PATRI.

Allan is l. sturdy for his age.
Chester, couple of months older,
is smaller and lighter, and very
imaginative. therefore a fine play
mate Allan loves him dearly, and
in spite of protests and punishments,
the moment Allan sees Chester, he
falls on his neck, hugs him hard, so
hard that Chester squeals angrily.
Sometimes Allan bites as well as
hugs his friend
Why do you hurt Chester de-
manded both mothers at once.
Il didn't hurt him. I only loved
him hard
How'd you like to be bitten, Id
like to know? How'd you like to be
hurt by somebody bigger than your
self. like me, for instance
Spanking, isolation, disapproval
of all kinds seem to work for the
moment. The offender repents with
tears, and promises so earnestly not
to offend again that the mothers
hearts are softened once more and
he is allowed out to play, under
the watchful eyes of his guardians
In few days the whole pattern is
repeated.
Make his term of isolation a
month long instead of a few hours
and his mind may be impressed with
the idea that such ruthless af1ec-
ton results in no good for him. His
mind is hard to impress. 1t is going
to be that way all through his life.
He won't intend to annoy anybody,
or hurt those he loves, but he will
until he is made to feel, to suffer
the inconvenience of loneliness, iso-
lation and strong disapproval from
those about him.
But Chester wants to play with
him. He would be punished. too. !"
That cannot be helped. Chester
suffers as things are, anyway. Better
he feel lonely for time than that
Allan fix the habit of expressing his
feelings, his will, in this harsh and
ruthless fashion. He is going to
have to learn self-control someday,
somehow, and it will be easier If he
begins to learn while he is young.
People who do not adjust themselves
to the ways of other folk scatter
pain and sorrow wherever they go.
Whenever one of us commits a
wrong a hundred others. innocent
Of even the knowledge of the wrong,
have to suffer the consequences. Bet
ter take the crude youngster in hand
early for his own good, and for the
good of the community.
We might as we'll understand that
some minds are hard to impress.
A passing experience has merely a
passing effect upon them. To make
any lasting impression the exper-
fence must last, must persist, until
its meaning sinks into the mind.
Once it gets there it usually stays,
if the child is normal-minded. Slow
to grasp, steel to clutch, is the way
a great teacher, DR.. Edward john
ston, puts it.
Opposing such minds are those Of
the quick-moving, quick-learning
children. Their minds are like SEN
sitive plates that take every i'm
preston and hold on to all of them.
A word, a look, a suggestion, is all
they need. The wise teacher and
parent considers carefully what sort
of mind the child has before de-
Gliding how to deal with him. No
greater mistake can be made in this
serious business of child rearing than
to say and believe that all children
should be treated alike. That is
impossible.

it may be yours. Families can be
pretty irritating at times-well
admit it. But seldom are they
irritating without some cause.
Geraldine fumes, frets and fuses
because her parents are so mean"
to her. They make her get in at
II O'Clock, and they blow the roof
of the walls if she's late. They
criticize her clothes, her friends, her
table manners and her conversation.
They don't allow her any freedom.
She says that they treat her like a
baby and try to run her life.
Joe Has His

And Joe has much the same COM

let him take the car out He re-
fuses to increase Joe's allowance,
and has threatened to make him
60 to work if he doesn't get better
grades at school, The family is
suspicious of the girls Joe goes with,
and they openly accuse the boys in
his gang Of being a bunch of hood
lums.
: All of which makes life pretty
difficult and very unpleasant for
Geraldine and Joe.
But let's take peek behind the
scenes, and see if there's any reason
for these parental attitudes. How
does Geraldine act around the
house?
Well, she never in her life has got
up in the morning without being
called two or three times. She
leaves her room looking like the
aftermath of rummage sale-bed
unmade, drawers open, clothes
draped over chairs and sprawling
on the floor. There are stray hairs
and loose powder on her dresser
top, and cleansing tissue smeared
with lipstick on the floor near
but never in-the waste basket.
Geraldine always gulps her break
fast on the run, with never time for
a cheerful Good morning" to the
family. She can never find her
books, and half the time she can't
find her hat or her scarf or her
galoshes. She gets home from school
whenever the spirit moves her. and
she has to be asked at least three
times to set the table. The dinner
dishes are liable to stand until 7:30
before she gets around to doing
them-a chore which is supposed to
be hers.
She hangs on the telephone for
long periods, holding inane conver-
sations with Sue or Sam or Steve.

and never bothers to como her hair

The solution Of the problem is in
compromise. The husband must
have the justice to realize that just
being married to him isn't all of
the entertainment and excitement
that young woman wants. He
must see that she works at her Job
just as hard as he does at his and
for longer hours, because the work
of mother with little children is
never done. Also, he must bear in
mind that his work is less wearing
on the nerves than hers, because he
has the diversion of working in a
crowd, of seeing people come and 60,
of hearing interesting gossip, where
as she works in the solitude of her
home at labor that only occupies
her hands and gives her too much
time to think.
So the husband should at least set
Saturday nights free to take his
wife stepping She will be pleas
anter to get along with because she
will be deprived of her grievance.
and she will be better wife because
she is more contented one. She
will have something to think of and
plan for while she is peeling the po-
tatoes. 1t will save the eternal argu-
ment. And, besides, it is coming to
her.
And the wife should have the fair
ness to appreciate that if her hus-
band works so hard all day that he
is too tired to even want to amuse
himself, it is for her and the chill
dren that he does it, and she should
not try to goad him into further
effort She should try to conserve
his strength and his health instead
of making demands upon them

DREAM OF GREAT TUNNEL
FOR CANAL is RECALLED
Waterway Between Washington
And Pittsburgh Never Approved

The dream of many years ago OF a
sixteen-mile tunnel to carry Wash
ington-P Pittsburgh canal beneath four
mountains in Garrett county today
stands a poorer chance than ever OF
being realized, although even in the
days of inland waterways it never re-
ceived final approval.
The fiood-control plans and parks
of the present will entirely blot out
the idea, even if the railroads had not
done so.
The dream was dissipated when the
engineers made a study of the plan
and reported it Gust fails of justitica-
ton" They said it would cost $4O1,-
441.135. To pay interest charges on
this amount it would have to carry
34,7OO,0O0 tons of freight year, and
there wasn't that much freight avail
able for it. Anyway, they added, 1t
was more than the canal could carry
The canal would have followed the
route of the old Chesapeake and ONO
canal along the Potomac River from
Washington to Cumberland. The old
canal has now been bought by the
Federal Government and turned into
a park. Furthermore, the proposed
Savage River dam in this county, ap-
proved by the Maryland Legislature
to regulate the flow of water in the
Potomac, will lie directly across the

No Further Trouble This Week
AT UnOrganized Mines

No further trouble has been ex-
perienced in the unorganized mines OF
Garrett county since last Thursday
morning when $50 pickets appeared at
the mines west of Grantsville for the
alleged purpose to stop the workers
from going to their daily tasks, but
dispersed when citizens of Grantsville
became aroused and accompanied the
miners to their work.
Several pickets have been at the
mines from day to day, but they have
not molested any of the workers. 1t
was reported that 200 or more union
miners were on their way to Crellin
yesterday for the purpose of prevent
ing the men from going to work and
thus cause a shutdown there, but they
failed to materialize and have not APP
peared thus far today.
Union mines within the area are
still closed, pending the signing of the
new proposed wage agreement with
operators of the Appalachian region,
