Clarifying
Yourself

(NEA Service STAFF WRITER

(NEA Service STAFF WRITER
The figure experts agree that ex-
ercise as we'll as diet Is necessary
to obtain that now so popular
Stretched look" from top of hip
bone to above waistline.
"You can diet until your stomach
Is fiat or, as matter Of fact, until
you are thin as rail-" they say,
"but you will not achieve the ulti-
mate in the new elongated torso
silhouette unless the middle of your
body is flexible"
They go on to point out that 1t
is not necessary to be absolutely
thin in order to wear clothes which
emphasize the lines of the midriff.
They want us to be slender, of course,
but they admit that even the not
quite-so-slender can wear long,
snugly- fitted jackets and ultra wide,
snug girdle-belts, providing the
waistline is Supple and the upper
half of the body Is not allowed to
sag against the lower half.
The latter Is a matter of correct
posture. It Is more important than
ever now for every woman to learn
to stand with backbone In as straight
a line as possible. Her chest must
be carried high, shoulders square,
head up, stomach in.
EXERCISES TO KEEP
YOU SUPPLE
AS for exercises to make the waist
line supple, try these:
Stand with feet wide apart, arms
stretched above head. Keeping the
right arm up, lean forward, without
bending knees, and touch right foot
with left flnger-tips. Return to erect
position. Lean forward, touching
left foot with right f1nger-tips. Re-
peat ten times day
Lie fiat on the floor with arms at
sides and fet wide apart. Without
lifting shoulders from the floor,
bend to the left as far as possible,
at the sametime lifting the left leg
slightly. Reverse, bending to the
right and lifting right leg few
inches from floor. Repeat twenty
times day.

thorized Nazi sources expect the
allies to make a stand from below
that city to Lille in Northwestern
France to shield such ports as Bel
gian Ostend, where the Belgian gov
ernment has moved, and French
Dunkerque, Calais and Boulogne.
The possibilities of bombing at
tacks on England from such ports
as these were underlined today by
a DNB report that 20 civilians had
been killed and 81 injured in an
allied air raid on Hamburg last
night, coupled with high command
assertions that raids on "non-mili-
tary objectives" in Hamburg and
Bremen has especial significance ''in
view of subsequent consequences"
DNB reported that of II allied air
attacks on Germany since May 10,
81 were on military objects.
Air Success Claimed Anew.
The authoritative Dienst aus
Deutschland said the raids on Ham,
burg and Bremen must be regarded
"as a very serious state of affairs"
and "one would not 60 wrong in the
assumption that Germany will note
the character of these attacks very
carefully and make this the basis for
its own decisions and actions"
Tremendous success was claimed
anew for Germany's own air force,
and it was reported to be almost
completely dominating the air over
the backgrounds of Belgium and
France, as we'll as continuing to ha-
rass British and French ships along
the Belgian coast and sinking one
enemy destroyer.
On Friday, the high command
said, 108 allied planes were shot
down while Germany lost but 26.
German naval units" (presum-
ably submarines) struck afar to bot
tie up Britain and her empire 1t

had a better chance of using light
rifle, which he could swing about to
follow the plane, than the more
cumbersome machine-gun.

Recently, the Boys Club has con-

for thousands Of our city's boys the
opportunity to participate in an un-

estimable value In rounding out a
wholesome life for them individually.
and more important in curbing de-
1nquency generally. Recently there
has been comment in the news
papers as to the need for a club of
that kind for girls. I personally
believe that such club would be
