Streanlining
The Figure
At Home
Calisthenics Must
Be Done Daily
To Be Effective
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If, young lady, you have sat and
sat, and ridden every place you
had to go, you have discovered
that your hip and waist measure
ment have grown two, three or
four inches! You should be dis
mayed, for heavy midriff def
nitely robs figure of beauty.
Being lazybones, you yearn for
miracle way of streamlining your
body, but I regret to inform you
that there is no miracle way! To
slim to pleasing lines you must
work! You must roll, and kick,
and bend. Get In the habit of
hiking to and from places instead
of riding, and take up an active
outdoor sport as hobby this sum-
mer. And If you are much over
weight, learn to control your ap-
petite!
l. With feet about six inches
apart, and body completely re-
laxed, drop the torso to one side,
bending the knee slightly and let
ting the hand touch the ankle.
Return to position and drop torso
to other side. Repeat 10 times.
2. Twist the torso vigorously to
one side, pushing the shoulder as
far back as possible. Swing the
torso to the other side, and repeat
six times.
3. Drop the body forward limp
ly, knees slightly bent, hands
touching the toes. From this po-
sition bob up and down five or
six times. Return to position and
repeat.
A hip reducer is this movement:
Lie fat on your back, bend knees
up, bringing feet close to your but
tocks. Keep your shoulders fiat
on the floor, place fingertips on
them and have chin level. On
count l, drop both knees heavily
to the right side. On count 2,
return to tuck-under position, pull
ing in abdomen as you bring feet
back to position. On count 3,
drop both knees heavily to left
side. On count 4, return to tuck
under position, pulling in abdo-
men.
This you may do at least 20 times
a day and it is honey, for it not
only rids you of extra hip pound
age but it strengthens your abb
dominal muscles, which enables you
to stand in better posture with your
buttocks tucked under instead of
being prominent.

her moneys worth in food protec-
ton. The first step in refrigerator
management Is to place the cabinet
so it will fit in with a scheme of
good kitchen planning.
Locate the refrigerator convent
emily, with work table nearby to
hold food as you take it out and
put it in. If possible, also have the
refrigerator near the sink for ease
in the preparation of food. Then
plan to make as few trips as pos
sible to the refrigerator, because
every time you open the door the
ice or the freezing unit must chill
the warm air that rushes in.
To help the refrigerator run as
economically as possible, see that it
is on the level. Also be sure that
it is in cool place. You'll want it
as far as possible from the stove
and sunny windows. and during the
winter you'll want it away from the
radiator.
Arrangement Of food on the
shelves is another important part of
managing the refrigerator. Don't
store food hit-or-miss and don't
overcrowd the shelves, if you want
to operate your refrigerator eco
nomically. 1t takes ice or energy to
cool every single thing that goes
into the refrigerator. When you chill
food to keep it from spelling, you're
saving money, but when you chill
extra dishes and containers, you're
wasting money.
A temperature under so degrees
F. will keep most perishable foods
a reasonable length of time. But
refrigerator should have some spot
that Is As degrees Fahrenheit or
lower, to keep dairy products and
uncooked meats. This coolest spot
in the refrigerator is usually located
directly below or beside the ice or
freezing unit. Your dealer can tell
you the temperature in different
parts of the cabinet and explain
where to put certain foods. Or you
can check the temperature yourself
with thermometer.
To keep milk cold and sweet is one
of the refrigerators' most important
jobs. Ordinance in most cities in
sure the consumer of a pure milk
supply, kept safe through proper
refrigeration. But from the minute
milk is delivered it is the home
makers responsibility to keep it as
cold as possible.
Milk, cream and butter take up
odors from other foods, so keep
them covered in the coolest part of
the refrigerator. The same rule holds
good for milk desserts and milk in
leftover dishes such as cream soups,
sauces and creamed vegetables.
These foods are a perfect place for
bacteria to grow. So keep milk mix
lures cold, and use them as soon as
possible.
Meats, fish, and poultry must also
be put in the coolest part of the re-
frigerator as soon as they come
from the market. Unwrap the
meat and place it in q clean dish
with a loose covering of parafin
paper. Many models Of mechanical
refrigerators have special meat con-
tainers directly below the freezing
units. ,,Uncooked fish should be
kept only a very short time, and it
Is best to keep it in the coldest pos
sible place, wrapped in parafiin
paper to protect other foods from
odor.

Mans Closet
Is Practical.
A mans closet may have tiers of
cabinets built In, or the sectional
variety that just slide into place
and which may hold hats, shoes,
riding boots and the many articles
of apparel of various size and shape
that make up a mans wardrobe.
There are hangers with padded
backs built to hold a jacket in shape
through the shoulders. There are
metal hat, shoe and tie racks that
may be placed on the back of the
closet door in limited space. A
linoleum floor of deep brown, stor-
age chests in beige enamel, gay
wallpaper in tan, red and brown,
and leather bound shelf boxes
would all set the right note in color
and neatness as we'll as make the
space thoroughly efficient.
The closet in your guest room
serves special purpose and for this
reason might be individually de-
signed. Space for great numbers of
dresses is not necessary. but it is
nice to have room to place empty
luggage. There is no need for the
storage of many hats and shoes and
that space might be utilized to hold
a box for an extra blanket or tiny
makeup dresser for party guests. A
tall space for golf clubs and one
large box for riding boots and heavy
outdoor shoes are thoughtful ac-
cessories, especially if you live in
the country.
Proper equipment to keep apparel
orderly and free from dust and di-
shevelment is the aim of a practical
closet. The use of color and deco
ration to make this an attractive
part of the room should be held
within the confines of good taste
and practicality. They should not
be so delicate or elaborate that the
utilitarian qualities are destroyed, or
that the time spent in taking care
of the decoration of the closet is
more than that taken of the ward
robe it is intended to prOtect

III. S. SENDS
FOOD TO MINERS
I'M GHOST TOWN

VINTONDALE, Pa. - (FP) - Local
miners and their families, idle since
Vintondale became a ghost town, were
saved from a hungry Easter by a
truckload of food sent from the Johns
town warehouse of the Federal Sur
plus Commodities Corp.
The population was left without food
or money when the Vintondale Collier
Iries Co., only source of income in the
small town, Unexpectedly shut down
its mine March IA, throwing 600 min
ers out of work. Two conferences
have been held between the United
Mine Workers (CIO) and company Of
ficials ON possible terms for reopening,
but no settlement has been reached.
At the time of the shutdown the
company owed the miners FL days
back pay totaling 100000, owed the
UNIV. funds due under the check
off owed money to the company doc
tor and owed 100000 in back taxes.
The firm removed SO loaded coal cars
as soon as the mine closed down but
| it was less successful in removing sup
plies from its store.
This move was blocked when Burg
ess William c. Morris put lien on all
company property for delinquent taxes.
But the miners, taking no chances,
sat in row along the front of the
company store to make sure that none
of the 500 pounds of meat inside was
removed.
Store officials had refused to let the
miners charge orders against the
wages due them on the grounds that
there might be a riot" and other
stores in town refused to advance
credit after the mine closed.
