 "T can't afford a sport T don't have time to take long walks and T can't squeeze gymnasium equip ment out of the budget are pretty flinlsy excuses for not keeping your figure in excellent shape through the years'.",
 This. statement comes from Cath arine Van Rensselaer,; figure expert of the American Women's Associa- ton. Miss Van Rensselaer, specializ- eS in exercise and massage courses at rates business women can afford. For thoe who can't go to her for personal supervision and guidance for correcting figure faults, she rec ommends series of kitchen chari' exercises at home.
 "The chair, that lowly piece of furniture which has been the chief cause of the business woman's fig ure faults for years, can be used to correct them," Miss Va Rens- selaer continues. '"The following routines designed around a straight backed kitchen chair, will improve posture and flexibility as well as remove Jumps and bumps and rolls. :"
 Begin with five minutes of com- plete relaxation. Turn the chair upside down with seat and top touching the floor. Place pillow over the back of 1t. Stretch out flat with hips touching the over turned seat of the chair and legs out over the back. Close your eyes and relax completely. Try to think of nothing except yards and yards of coal black velvet. v
 Now set the chair upright Stand behind it with hands resting lightly on the back, heels together, back straight and head up. Do a deep knee bend all the way down until you are sitting on your heels, meanwhile keeping back straight. Hold the squatting posi- ton for count of five, then re- turn slowly to standing position.
 Sit forward on the dege of the chair, with back straight, chest up, stomach and chin in, head high. Bend arms at shoulder level as for the breast stroke in swimming. Holding arms this way, make small circles with upper arms and shoulders. Feel the 'pulp through shoulders and neck. This develops the muscles which support the breasts and reduces excess flesh on the back of the neck,

-WE THE WOMEN--- In World Filled With Hate, Religious Side Of Christmas Takes On New Significance

tiniest childhood that their way of life is right, fine, and splendid-even worth dying for.
 WE CAN DO NO LESS FOR OURS :"
 We certainly can do less than teach our children that Christianity and all it stands for is worth living for-and if necessary worth dying for.
 Let's not only celebrate Christmas this year-but use it to encourage in our children deep faith in all the things in which we believe, but have grown shy of talking about and careless of thinking about.
 Of course there will be Santa Claus and presents and laughter and fun. But underneath let's be sure there is some thought for the prin- ciples of Christianity at Christmas time.

HERE'S ONE FOR FLEXIBTLITY

Stand again, facing the chair. Place your right foot on the seat of the chair. Keeping knees straight, bend forward and grasp right foot with both hands. Hold for count of five, then raise body slowly. Repeat five times. Re- verse, placing left foot on chair and bending to grasp it. If at first you cannot lift the foot to chair seat, turn the chair sideways and use the rung until you have be- come flexible enough to raise foot higher.
 Holding the back of the chair with one hand, raise opposite arm and leg straight out to side, keep ing leg rigid, arm at shoulder level, back straight. Hold for count of three and repeat ten or twelves times. Reverse, placing other hand on back of chair, rais- ing opposite arm and leg. The higher you can raise your foot, the better for hips, thighs and back.

Toender, Denmark. March 20- -(UP) - Swift British bombing planes diving at terrific speed to- ward the German island of Sylt. The roar of more and more engines and then the dull explosion Of bombs. Flames shooting up in the dusk. A big explosion and a bigger spurt of flame. The thunder of anti- aircraft guns. More waves of planes. Blasts that seemed to shake the ground. A plane falling like a streak of flame.
 That, according to the stories of eye-wltnesses, is what the biggest air raid of the war looked like to those who watched from the coast of Denmark. It went on for hours. Tt was quite a show, but l don't want to see a thing like that again" Peter Bergmann. farmer, told the United Press. "Ht was . horrible show. "I went through the World War but there was nothing that compared to what we saw last night, "I was standing on the shore only four miles from sylt when the raids began in clear moonlight" Berg

PRESIDENT IS
 ORDERED TO BED
His Physician Forced Him to Cancel All Engage
 nlents for Today

Washington, March 20.-(UP)- President Roosevelt today was or dered back to bed in an attempt to throw off 8 severe cold from which he has been suffering for more than a week.
 Dr. Ross T. McIntire, White House physician, asked the President to cancel his engagements for today.
 pr. McIntire found that Mir Roosevelt was running tempera- ture of 99.4 degrees s-two tenths of degree higher than yesterday.
 Secretary Stephen T. Eeafly said McIntire was. not concerned about the Presidents condition. The physician, however, insisted that MT Roosevelt remain in bed and take complete rest.
 , The President spent 8 full day in his executive offices yesterday but admitted to reporters at a press conference that he felt bad.
 Early said the chief reason Mir Roosevelt left his bed yesterday wai to hold his regular semi-weeklJ press conference in view of the fact that he had been forced to caiicel two previous conferences and had not met newspapermen tor mort than 70 days.

 Describes Horror Scenes

cause 1t was a quiet night nutil the fighting began.
 "Then there were flashes from the German anti aircraft guns. Hun dreds of shells went into the air. We saw one plane falling into the water. Another plane circled and dropped a flare after it had fallen but it did not attempt to land on the water.
 "We tried to count the explosions that we thought were bombs. After we reached 100. We gave 1t up. They were coming too fast.
 "There must have been between 90 and SO planes in the attacking force. German searchlights were all around them.
 "The bombs hit the water in many places and the explosions and pres sure seemed to rock the ground on the mainland. Windows shook and children couldn't sleep because their beds shook.

$28,924 AWARD
 WAS SET ASIDE
Judge Miles F. McNiff in Court of Common Pleas
 Makes Ruling

One of the biggest jury awards in an accident case ever given in 8 case in Connecticut courts was set aside by Judge Miles F. McNiff in the Court of Common Pleas to- day. The award was one of $28. .924, granted RusseI B. Nichols of Chesh- ire against four defendants, Lloyd T. William Sr. and Lloyd T. Will Hams Jr., of Cleveland Ohio, Miss Grace CsraTes 0f New Haven, and Irving Block of Greenfield. Mass.
 The plaintiff suffered the loss ot a leg and other painful injuries and will be permanently incapacitated insofar as carrying out his work as an automobile mechanic and garage man is concerned. The trial of the case lasted several weeks with Atty, V. Blansfield and Harry Albert ap- bearing for the plaintiff.
 Grants Motions
 Judge McNiff says in lis memor- andum of decision that motions made by all four defendants to set aside the jury verdict must be granted for the reason that the jury could not reasonably have found from the evidence produced at the trial that the plaintiff, Nichols, had proved he was free from contribu- atory negligence and that he was

 EDISON MAY QUIT
Seeks Democratic NOnlin- atiOn for Gov. of New
 Jersey He Asserts

West Orange, N. J., March 20.- (UP)-Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison announced today he would seek nomination as the Demo- cratic candidate for governor of New Jersey.
 In statement issued at his home here, Edison said that "after weeks of serious consideration and with a full appreciation of the seri- ousness and responsibility of step I am taking, I have decided to per. init my name to go on the petitions for nomination as governor of New Jersay on the Democratic ticket"
 Although he is leaving Washing ton next Tuesday for an inspection tour of Pacific coast naval defenses, Edison said he felt that "in fairness to all my friends and supporters I realize the necessity of reaching a decision before leaving" Edison indicated that he would resign from the cabinet if he were nominated but said he would wait "a reasonable time" in order to get things in shape for his successor.
 I'm not candidate yet" he said. After the primary will be time enough to think about resign ing. Meanwhile, I'm still in the navy and will keep my mind on the navy"
