'If my figure would only rnatchl l" says the girl who's under-developed and bony in chest and shoulders but well-rounded below the waist. Her clothes never look well on her. and how she suffers in evening dress
 Right exercises are the answer to her problem. Those chest hollows, those flat breasts are caused by weak pectoral rnuscles-but it's easy to develop bust and shoulders.
 i--standing about l8 inches from wall, place hands on wall-shoulder high with fingers pointing toward each other. 2--Keeping the back flat and the head back, slowly bend el- bows and lean forward until chest and chin almost touch wall.
 3--Resisting with muscles, slowly push away from wall. Repeat 3 times. Rest. DO 9 times altogether.
 With just such simple exercises you can slim thighs and hips too-- remodel other parts of your figure.

tact with the good earth. In short, the country IS mans active habitat, and anything re- moved is foreign to his long last- ing strength.
 However, as we know only too well, that's practically impossible for millions of children. So let's talk about suburbs. This is an elastic term. But generally speak. ing 1t means q house with a strip of ground somewhere so green things can grow, and beyond the rows of shoulder-to-shoulder phal- anxes Of city streets.
 We expect air in surburbs to be purer than the condensed produ:t of cities, and we are right. The extra room to run, the sight of green, the feel of the friendly sky, 50 indifferent in town, are quite an invitation all round.
 Then there Is the small town, Q unit in itself, that brings the country close and has whole store- -house of advantages, coin- bining city and broad acres.
 EXPERIENCE
 IMPORTANT
 There is no reason to shout that city children won't be well. Many live normal, healthy and hap py lives who seldom see real couf- try at all. Yet, parents of such fain- flies are wise to provide substitutes for the exercise that the longer reaches of country afford. Think of the new school in New York City that has stairs as on inducemert to its young pupils.
 These strangers to stairs are taught how to 90 up and down properly. It IS probably the only chance these small apartment dwellers have to use their "lift- ing" muscles. What with eleva- tors, escalators and carry-alls, many children know only one level from one years end to the next.
 Some rules to keep in mind are: try to live where it's safe for the children to play, near e park or playground, or, best of all, 0 roomy back yard. /
 The neighborhood in town Or city should be reasonably right for you and yours. By this I mean that the middle class family (and most of us are that), may be unhappy in ritZy neighborhood.
 I prefer "B", or "house". But you must do what you think best for everybody.

 Mrs. Fitting can't be accused of not letting her husband make their home his as much as 1t is hers. T decorated our dining room around one of his paintings" she says. Tn order to do 1t, I had tc have the dining room chairs in three different shades. The store that did the work tried to talk me out of it. but 1t turned out to be the lovliest most individual room in the house.
 Mrs. Fitting believes women might even learn something about decorat- ing from their husbands. Hers has taught her this rule:
 Don't fill your rooms with knickknacks that have only @ sem timental value. Keep out just the things that are useful, or that seem so beautiful to you, you actually see them when you look at them" SHE IS
 NO JOINER"
 Another thing Mrs. Fitting has discovered by watching youne wives (she is one herself) is that many of them clutter up theii married lives right at the start probably from the fear that fl they don't rush into things they will be bored.

 e. Will steel wool in a stove pipe leading from gas range serve the purpose of flue?
 A. The only reason for putting steel wool in a stove pipe leading from gas range is to form a sur- face to gather the vaporized grease. When the wool gets clogged with grease, it should be discarded and fresh wool inserted. It has no amel- iorating effect upon escaping gases.

Gloriying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Cervice Staff Writer

It isn't too early to begin think ing about the way you want to look next spring. It takes a few months to lose several pounds or to get your hair in excellent con- dition. And at least more than a couple of months to eliminate frown lines and tiny wrinkles &C., quired last Easter.
 First of all, try to get mental picture of the Ideal You. Not an ideal movie star or an ideal de- butante, but an ideal you. Then work toward measuring up to that ideal.
 If you're overweight by all means map out sensible method of reducing. If your hair is dull and limp, too oily or too dry, re- solve to brush 1t at least five nights a week. If possible, con- suit an expert and have some special scalp treatments.
 If your skin is sallow or If you have blackheads or minor blem- ishes here and there, do exercises or take long, brisk walks to stim- ulate your circulatory system. After night and morning cleans ings, rinse your face and throat with ice cold water until the skin is pink and tingling.

TELLING THE PUBLIC

In recent years the great business en-
terprises of the nation have more and more
adopted the policy of telling the public in
teresting facts concerning the problems
which confront their respective industries,
and the means adopted to solve them, not
only in their own interest, but in the in
terest of the public as WE'LL
This trend toward taking the public
into their confidence and frankly talking
things over with their patrons has been
particularly noticeable in the case of the
railroads, which have told their story,
principally in paid newspaper advertising,
with view to friendly cooperation with
the communities they serve.
An interesting case in point is that
of the Illinois Central, which for 20 years
has continuously carried its messages of
good will to its vast territory through adj
vertiSements at least once each month in
nearly 500 daily and weekly newspapers
published in cities and towns which are
located on its far-flung lines.
In a recent statement, President J. L..
Bowen, of the l. c.. expressed satisfaction
with the friendly response to this policy,
which will be continued This, he says,
indicates "our amply demonstrated belief
in the good will to be gained through local
newspaper advertising"

WE NEED A PERMANENT BEACH

1t was good news to Key Vests hotel,
tourist home, restaurant and other inter-
ests to learn that the Monroe Board of
County Commissioners had applied to the
War Department for authority to build
works along Roosevelt Boulevard above
Bertha Street to create a permanent pub
lie beach.
It is proposed to construct three
groins, pier, bulkhead and to make any
fill necessary for beach extending for
several thousands of feet toward East
Martello Tower These relatively simple
pieces of construction will enable wind and
wave to bring in the sand for the beach and
will hold the sand in place once it is
brought in. Fine sandy beaches have been
built in many other exposed points with
great success in many other sections of
Florida and the nation. 1t is not gamble,
but the application of sound engineering
toward desired end.
Approval of the War Department is
necessary before the project can go any
further If the United States engineers
find, after investigation, that the project
will not interfere with public water rights,
and if there is no private objection, the
necessary approval will be a mere matter
of formality. The only real danger to the
project at this time appears to be the pos
sibility that adjacent property owners
might object.
A study of the beach developments
at Miami Beach and at other Florida re-
sorts reveals that the beaches did not re-
tard the growth of the adjacent communi-
ties. Rather they added to the value of
the property and made development of
adjacent residential and commercial areas
imperative. At Miami Beach, for ex-
ample, the ocean front property became
immensely valuable. 1t is trimmed with
beautiful hotels, apartments and other dig
nified buildings. Public use of the beach
was an asset, not liability to the adjacent
property.
So it would be at Key West, in the
opinion of competent judges of such mat
ters. These experts see Key Vests prin-
cipal needs as fresh water and more ade-
quate tourist facilities. Every hotelman in
Key West is authority for. the statement
that even the small beach maintained by
public subscription has been one of the
most important recent factors in his bust
ness. Folks who used to come here and
leave within few hours now stay to sun
themselves on the beach.
There should be no private or public
opposition to the project undertaken by
the Monroe County Commission. The Citi-
zen believes that next to a water supply
from the mainland an ample public beach
is the most important tourist asset that can
be provided.

ment of sex education in the public schools
