Splendid Way
To Exercise
For Beauty
Active Sports With
Family Will Keep
The Body Supple
Photo.
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If adults would take q lesson
from children, who get their
exercise from play. there would be
little need for home calisthenics
or for beauty editors urging you
to exercise.
Have you never noticed how
happy are the contestants in games
of sport? Ever. though only one
side can win both sides appear
to be happy! Their eyes are gay,
their cheeks flushed and their grins
or smiles are infectious. Usually
the audience watching the match
is jolly too. Play makes them happy.
and games are splendid means for
exercise.
Children get their exercise in the
form Of play. That is natures
way Of developing the body for the
business Of living. When boys and
girls play hard-running jumping,
bending, twisting. turning-they are
using every important muscle in
their bodies and are unconsciously
building vitality and poise.
1T is splendid thing when men
and women carry over into adult
life the Joy of physical activity
experienced in childhood,v declares
one authority on body development.
How much more life means to
them. They have an invaluable
aid, both for the conduct of their
own lives and for the guidance Of
their children. Exercise does not
need to be a chore. There are
many excellent forms Of physical
activity to choose from. Mothers
and fathers who enjoy active
games with their boys and girls
get the benefits of good exercise
and more. For thus they develop
keener understanding of their
children, and go long way toward
acquiring ideal relations between
parent and child.
Outdoor sports comprise Sc
ries of exercises that are hard to
beat. 1t is a delight to acquire
skill in playing outdoor games
such as tennis, badminton, base
ball or golf. There is a feeling
of freedom and power which comes
from the thorough mastery OF
such activities as skating, or skiing,
or swimming. In this kind of exer-
else keen enjoyment goes hand in
hand with keeping the body fit.
when the weather makes out
door sports impossible, or when
other circumstances prevent them
basket ball, bowling, handball,
SQUASH. tennis-are recommended"
And If exercise Is taken In the
form of fun it is so much more
beneficial than that taken grimly
at home on the parlor carpet!
Rather than gritting your teeth
and doing corrective movements
for 10 or IS minutes at home, turn
on the radio and dance to good
band music Kick your feet high,
bend your body, sway to the notes.
Imagine you are a ballet dancer,
interpreting the arrival Of spring!
But dance with rhythm and smile
on your face. Exercise should be
fun-whether you play q game or
kick your legs over your head
at home. A body well stimulated Is
healthier and happier body and
both health and happiness are
necessary for beauty Of face!

the fun to invest in carpet with
out knowing what has gone into the
making of it.
Persian rugs are classics the world
over. Before the 10th century their
perfection in weaving. their design
and color was recognized, and how
long before that the industry had
hourished no one knows. From the
famous antique pieces of Ardabil and
Ispahan through the modern ones
woven at Sultanabad, to the modern
American made copies of these, the
same general design persists-that
of a flower garden brought indoors.
Persian rugs are covered with mil
lions of tiny flowers. tendrils and
leaves, with bands, borders and me-
dallions of more flowers surrounding
these. Turtles, small animals. birds,
trees and other similar motifs have
formed the pattern of these rugs
for hundreds of years.
Color Range
Very Wide.
There is wide range of colors,
but because of the dense and intrl-
cate designs combining so many
hues the general effect is one OF
soft subdued tones, rather than the
full color of the Turkish types. Blue
Is the typical Persian color as red
Is of Turkestan and yellow OF China.
Both the Selma and Ghiordes knots
are used and fringed ends are usual.
Oriental rugs in their natural en-
yironment were used not only for
floor coverings, but literally lined a
small room, on walls, floors ana
sofas with their brilliant velvety
surface. One never walked on them
except in soft silken slippers. When
these carpets began to be imported
for use in Western homes 1t was
necessary to make choice OF de-
signs and colors that would be prac-
tical for such surroundings, with the
result that traditional pieces were
modified for the use they were to
serve. Many of the rugmaking dis
tricts are controlled by Western
companies who specify size, color
and trend in design according to the
fashion at home. The only course
open to most OF us in purchasing
Oriental rugs is to place our order
In the hands of a reputable dealer
and trust his judgment and expert
ence to guide us.
Antique Persian rugs are very
rare, most expensive and are usually
seen in private collections, or in

Dorothy Dix Says
Child Should Help to Pay Upkeep
Upon Earning His Own Money

Dear Dorothy Dix: We are par
ents of small means who have done
our best and made many sacri-
fees to give our boys and girls an
education and prepare them for life
on their own. Now they are all
grown, have jobs and are making
money which they spend lavishly
upon themselves, but they still live
at home and never think of such
thing as contributing a cent to the
family budget. They seem to con-
slider that they should be immune
from sharing in the expenses of the
upkeep of the home, yet it is q great
strain on both their father and my
self to try to make his small salary
take care of the necessities and COM
forts of a family Of grownups. 1t
would ease our lots enormously if
we could have some financial help
from them. However, when we
broach the subject to them they
manifest unpleasant feelings and
seem to think that we should take
care Of them as long as they remain
under our roof. What would you do
about It?

BOY SCOUT WORK INCREASES

Boy Scout Week will be observed not
only by the scouts of the United States but
by the people of the country as we'll. The
special week, which began yesterday,
February 8, marks the 29th anniversary
of scouting in this country
We are advised by Scout authorities
that there are 39,75O Boy Scout Troops,
Cub Packs and Sea Scout Ships, with L.
233,950 boys and men and that since the
beginning of scouting in America 8,4OO,-
600 boys and men have been identified
with the movement
The Citizen is glad to congratulate
the Boy Scouts upon their progress and to
express the hope that the movement will
grow in numbers throughout the nation.
Scouting depends upon the volunteer work
of responsible adults who serve as scout
masters and troop officials and, in our
commentator, they deserve special recog-
milton
The Boy Scout movement can be no
stronger than the leaders of the boys in
any given community. Unless there are
unselfish adults, ready to serve as leaders,
the scout work will inevitably falter. Con-
sidering the great appeal that scouting has
to the average young American it seems
reasonable to believe that there will be
men everywhere to help the boys of Am
erica to be trained in the ways of Scout
craft.
In a radio talk from the White House
yesterday, President Roosevelt saluted the
youth organization, saying the scout move
ment was national asset and therefore
should be regarded as natural trust"
The chief executive spoke as honorary
president of the organization. He said
further:
"Ours is the duty to inculcate in the
scout mind those simple fundamental prin-
ciples which embrace strength of body,
alertness of mind and above these and
growing out of them that sense of moral
responsibility upon which all sound char
acter rests.
"In building upsolid character we are
insuring the future strength and stability

PLANT CARE

To tell when plant needs wa
ter, take pinch of dirt from the
top of the flower pot. If the earth
is moist, the plant does not need
water. If dry and crumbly, wa
ter it thoroughly. There is moth
ing very ornamental about a dus-
ty plant and during the summer
the house plant is apt to be neg
lccted in favor of the outdoor
garden. During the winter with
heating plants are apt to become
more neglected looking than in
the summer. Their leaves take
on a soiied appearance. Don't
fotget to wipe off the plants
leaves once a week, summer and
winter, to let it breathe and live.

d, New Deal efforts to solve
. o . = q q . . Q . . Q .

New Deal efforts to solve the
problem have not endeared the
party in the hearts OF their coun-
trymen and while the matter
may not be settled in the present
congress, it will certainly prove
to be an annoying monkey
wrench" that win probably stay
in the hair of politicians through
out the entire session.
Last week DR.. Francis E. Town
send appealed to Burton H
Schoepf of Tampa for help and
invited him to Washington to sit
in on conferences prior to the
congressional hearing which
starts this week.
For two years Schoepf has been
studying the Townsend Plan and
is probably better posted on its
provisions than any other Flori-
dian. At the request of DR..
Townsend, Schoepf has consent
ed to appear before the Congress
sional committee, as a business
man favoring the plan, and will
plead its cause on that basis.
All indications are there'll be
plenty of fun and excitement in
Washington during the next few
weeks as the hearing progresses,
and while l doubt seriously
whether anything will come of it
or that the matter will be set
tied in the present session, it is
evident that plenty of honest Tor
maybe l should say dishonesty
sweat will be shed before the
conference is over.
Personally, l have never dis
counted Doctor Townsend nor his
following and from close contact
with political activities through
out the state I know that the
Townsend advocates are sincere
and mean business. They have
placed their faith and confidence
in the promises of men who have
been elected to office and they
are going to hold those men to
strict account.
Oldsters have been kidded and
pushed around by politicians to
the point where they are just
about fed up, and for my part 1
am content that 1 have asked
them for no favors, solicited no
office.
Four years ago I wrote the first
press release favorable to DR..
Townsend, and the Townsend
Plan, after hearing the Doctor
