Too Violent
Exercises
Harmful
Strenuous Reducing
Schedule Makes
Muscles Knot
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

While speaking with Eleanor
Powell, who dances 20 beautifully on
the screen and stage, we got to talk
ing about strained muscles. She is
perhaps the most active feminine
dancer Of today yet she retains .
soft figure quite free Of knotted
muscle. She claims this IL due to
her daily routine Of stretching
exercises which keeps her body
Timber for her dancing.
Miss Powell warns women and
girls who have not exercised much,
to avoid straining their bodies from
too violent exercising. She cited
several cases where girls have suf-
fered from q too strenuous reducing
schedule. They were Indifferent to
exercise for years and then sud-
denly decided to bump Oh the extra
pounds. Their muscle were tense
and could not stand the sudden
strain and rebelled by becoming ex-
tremely tender to any stretching.
Thus the schedules were interrupted
and . few Of them walked around
With umps for several days!
II you are one who wishes to
exercise for beauty, and II you have
not hmbered recently, you must do
70 before adopting any exercise
schedule. ..l
Lie on the floor on your back.
Raise the upper part Of your body
to . sitting position without any as
sistance and bend forward to grasp
your ankles with your hands. Then
pull down your head until it touches
the calves Of your legs. This limbers
your spine and 1t will be difncult to
do quickly and easily ut first. But
keep practicing and when you have
mastered it take the next step.
Lie on your back on the floor, as
you did in the first movement, and
raise your body without any as
sistance and touch your head to
your legs without grasping your
ankles. Swing your arms up in back
Of your body as your head lowers
II you can do this with ease, your
spine and leg muscles are Timber
enough to start an exercise schedule
Do not bend your knees in eithe,
exercise.
Miss Lindsay will be glad to
give you exercises for any figure
daw. Write her care Of this paper
listing your problem and inclose

Party Given
BY Boy Is
Correct
Certainly Is Not
Efeninate to
Entertain
BY EMILY POST.

Why q young boy should ask II
1t could be considered ef1eminate
for him to give . party for his
friends, I can't imagine. Unless per-
haps no other boys where he lives
ever give parties. At any rate, he
says he Is graduating from high
school this year and that the day
Of the senior dance also happens to
be his birthday. TITS really
mothers idea," he explains. "She
thinks 1t would be very nice If I
gave . party for some Of my friends
and then from our house We could
all 60 to the dance. But she doesn't
seem to know what kind OF party
this might be-"
It seems to me that . simple
stand-up supper would be just the
right thing. For this, the dining
room table should be set with q cloth
and the dishes Of food and stacks
of plates and napkins and Necessary
silver. Some one In charge-either
the waitress or perhaps an older
member Of your family-had better
stand at the table to assist in filing
the plates. Or Of course each one
could help himself (and herself).
II your house Is big enough, card
tables and chairs could be stood
about with tablecloths on them, and
you and your friends take your
plates and glasses Cor cups and
saucers) and sit down at the tables
instead Of having to balance them
on your knees.
What you choose for your menu
depends upon what you like.
Scrambled eggs or minced chicken,
and perhaps vegetable or fruit
salad, scalloped potatoes, or q corn
pudding, or any other hot and very
sustaining dish. And with no matter
what else, there should be hot but
tered rolls, and maybe hot chocolate
or just soft cold drinks. The menu
should not include anything that
requires cutting. AZ . suggestion, II
the idea is practical, you might have
table decorations in the colors Of
your class.

(By the Bureau Of Home Economies Of the
United States Department Of Agriculture }
How can q family get the most
for its food money? The Bureau Of
Home Economies illustrates with
four diet plans-each plan scaled to
q different amount of money avail
able for food. Because these plans
are intended as guides, they are
elastic enough to allow for plenty Of
variations by each individual home
maker.
All diet plans are set up for fam
lilies Of two, four and seven. Along
with each diet plan there are also
tables to help q family of any size
work out budget to suit. One plan
Is for a liberal diet, one q mod
erate-cost adequate" diet, another q
"minimum-cost adequate" diet. The
fourth, recommended for emergency
use only, suggests ways to spend q
very limited amount of food money
to the best advantage.
OF course, the more limited the
amount Of money available for food,
the more dimcult 1t Is to provide all
Of the essentials that 60 to make up
an adequate diet. So it might be
helpful to study the plan suggested
for q good diet at q minimum cost.
Secret of the success Of this plan
Is that 1t makes use OF the most
nutritious Of the inexpensive foods.
Milk and cereal foods are its MAIN
stay. There are just enough vege-
tables, fruits, eggs and lean meats
to supply the vitamins, minerals and
proteins not furnished in sufncient
quantities by cereal and milk Fats
and sweets are used to round out
calories.
In most sections Of the country
such q diet could be purchased for .
family Of four for from 50 to SO q
week. A sample weekly market
order would include the following:
Milk, 171z quarts.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes, IL
pounds.
Tomatoes and citrus fruit, 1
pounds.
Leafy green and yellow vegetables,
I pounds.
Dried beans and peas, peanut
butter and nuts, 2 pounds.

found only in items where hand
work and individual taste have
found opportunity for expression.
Feminine Touches
High in Favor.
Just as femininity in design OF
clothes is the dominant keynote of
this season, flowers, ribbons and
bowknots in many variations are the
faRorites in bedroom decor. Early
American rooms may take on sum-
mer finery with adaptations Of old
quilt patterns, bedspreads after
early woven textile designs and
others combining candle wicking
and embroidery. These look light
and cool and very new, with one
color on white, and are especially at
tractive with any type of wood. An
other fresh idea is a cameo frame of
embroidered flowers in the center of
a bedspread, outlined by q ribbon
and bowknot.
For the formal room there is moth
ing cooler than all white. Sheer
dotted Swiss at the window with q
ruf1ed, lace-edged spread on the
bed, or all white tufted chenille in q
shell motif has an inviting look on
q warm evening. If you prefer the
custom fitted leok of a tailored
spread, there are double ruffled ones
that swoop to the floor like summer
evening dresses. One has an extra
pillow sham which exactly fits over
your single or double pillow and is
finished by q wide ruffied border
like the one your grandmother had.
Summer Rugs
Give Cool Effect.
Handmade cotton rugs in the soft
pastel shades of your bedspreads, or
deep, shaggy all white ones will
make the floor area seem cooler.
Some of these are worked" in de-
sign, and you will find formal con-
Ventional types for the regency room

NEW MARKS MAY
 FEATURE METRO CHAMP|ONSH HIPS
Cunningham's Mile Record Sure to Be Broken;
 Three Strong Teams

New York, Jan. 27 -(UP)- At least one world record and several meet marks were endangered by to- nights classy field in the Metro politan A. A. D. track and Held championships.
 The indoor mile and 7-8 medley relay is the world record that will be seriously threatened. New York University's crack quartet, Jerry Fangboner (220 yards>, Jim Mo- Poland GAO yards). Jim Herbert (one-half milel and Leslie Mac Mitchell q mile) is favored, but both the New York A. 0. and the Grand Street Boys Club will fur nish strong competition. North Texas State Teachers College holds the present record of 7:276.
 Track followers believe 1t Is a lO-1 bet that the Met mile record will be eclipsed when a field Of IA go after the record of 4:21.2, set by Glenn Cunningham two years ago. Cunningham, running in Bos- ton tonight, will miss good chance to better his mark.
 The field will include Gene Venzke who beat Cunningham in the Vet erans of Foreign Wars mile at Bos- ton two weeks ago; Luigi Beccali, Italy's 15OO-meter holdover champ from the 1882 Olympics; and Andy Neidnig, Manhattan's indoor star.
 Hurdles
 The record of nine seconds for the 70-yard hurdles, set 20 years ago and equaled 10 years ago, is be- lieved almost sure to be bettered by a field that includes Dom Kinzle, former Duke titleholder now run ming for the N. Y. A. O.; Tom Mc- Farland, former Boston College ace: Tom Garland, Manhattan hurdler, and others.
 The 1000 yard Met record of 2:l5.4 set by Phil Edwards, Cana dian Olympian, more than a decade ago, stands little chance of surviv- ing against speedsters like venzke, Frank Slater, former national 1000 meter titleholder of the N. Y. A. Q; Sandy Goldberg, Millrose A. A.; Curtis Giddings, Grand Street Boys; Lou Burns of the 69th Regiment A. A: and Ben Holderness, former Yale star now running for the N. Y' A. 0.

| S.R.O. Sign Out
 At Naugy For |T0rringtOn Game

Naugatuck, January 27. = A virt- ual sell-out is reported for the Tor rington High-Naugatuck basketball game to be played at the local "Y'' tonight. It was announced by the high school yesterday afternoon that all adult and student tickets have ben sold and there remained only standing-room tickets.
 The situation again emphasizes the need for 8 bigger gymnasium here. Undoubtedly several hundred more would attend this game If they could be accommodated.
 As 1t is with many standing along the walls and crowding doorways while the game is in progress, if . panic should result among the crowd there would be much likelihood ot serious accidents for many.
 There are several exits from the gymnasium, but many of those at- tending in time of stress might think only of the main one.
 The Naugatuck five this year although good, does not seem oi championship caliber. In the past when Naugatuck teams have been exceptionally good, the gymnasium has been packed for most home games. As is evidenced now, even with fairly good team, the gym- nasium will be filled for at least tive if not more home tits.
 There is talk each year of the need for a bigger gymnasium fol Naugatuck High games but noth. ing has been done about 1t. The high school this year in offering season tickets for home games has shown appreciation of those who constantly support the local teams by giving them a chance to see eact tilt. nv
 Some years ago when 8 najol game would be scheduled, all tickets might be sold before some of th( flair weather or foul" fans coult get one.
 Thrilling Tilt
 Tonight's game should be @ thrill Ter and if the Toleymen play theil best game, they stand @ good chance of winning. Torrington edged Nau. gatuck in the New City Q few week. ago with its full team, but since then 1t has been hit by injuries ant this may affect the standard of it! play.
 That 1t will be no pushover is evi. denoed by the strong battle 1t put up against undefeated Wilby higt of Waterbury earlier this week.

LANDS REVIEWS LEGAL ATTACK
 ON CHAIN STORE
Big League Owners Jit. tery as Brahnan Asks
 Years Delay By Judge
BY STEVE SNYDER

(Untted Press Stan Corresponds
 Chicago, Jan. 27--(UP)-Commis- sioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis champion of the young ball player and foe of the farm system, turned the baseball world upside down again today by proposing to elim- mate chain store methods from or ganized baseball.
 Discreet silence prevailed among jittery magnates in every major league city except Chicago where the latest Landis plan enjoyed quick endorsement.
 Both Owner Phil K. Wrigley of the Chicago Cubs and Harry Grab- iner, general manager of the White Sox, approved doing away with working agreements between major and minor league clubs and plac- ing all minor league players under direct contract to the club for which they play.
 Since neither team has extensive minor league properties their re- action could not be construed as the probable trend.
 It was the second time in eleven days that Landis had attacked the farm system.
 In most cities, baseball men still were reeling from his edict of Jan. IS which specified fines and suspen- sions for club officials who violate his point Interpretation of the term working agreements"
 The general bewilderment led w.. c. Bramhan1, president of the Na- tional Association of Minor Leagues, to urge Landis last night to wait until next year to enforce the 6 points. Several major league clubs already are far advanced in their farm system plans for 1940, he said.
 The white.haired commissioner, vacationing in Florida, said he had not received an official notice from Bramham and therefore declined comment. The Bramham appeal, however, likely will have little eff. feet on his January 16 statement since that merely assessed heavier penalties for infractions of baseball law already in operation, regarding the signing of players to blank con- trc ,ts, manipulation of players with out filing of proper transfer agree ments, and secret working agree- ments between major and minor league clubs.
 In his first recommendations of methods to replace farm hand irleth- ods. Lands declared, "The essence of this new plan is that players are to be acquired by higher classifica- ton clubs for present service only, not for anticipated future needs"
 He suggests that players be as. signed outright only for an agreed consideration and all not assigned loy a fixed date would be subject to draft by higher class clubs. Thus the present system of optional agreements, whereby a minor leaguer can be nursed along by the parent club until he is ready or needed in the majors. would be dis' continued.
 To make up for withdrawal o! financial support by individual ma for league clubs, he suggested that subsidies be granted all class B, O. and D clubs, presumably by the ie major teams.
 After the program IS in opera tiorl," he said funds could be de- rived from the sale or draft of player contracts
 Copies of the proposal were re- ceived by mail today in most cities sponsoring organized baseball. A note from Landis, asking careful consideration and Suggestions as promptly as possible" was attached to each.

BRUINS TRADE AGAIN

Boston, Jan. 27-(UP)-The "oth- CT half" of the great Boston Bruin defense pair that dominated Ma tional League hockey last season had a new allegiance today.
 Jack Portland was traded to the Chicago Black Hawks for Patrick Desmond Smith, 25-year-old de- fenseman, last night, only 2z hours after his partner of other seasons. Gddle Shore, was traded to the New York Americans for, Winger Eddie WLseman.
 The trade, made in Detroit, en- abled Portland to play with the Hawks last night when he aided his new teammates to hold the Red Wings to a 1-1 tie. Smith makes his Bruin debut here toMorrow night against the Wings and Tues day night will face his former team mates.
