BALTIMORE, Feb. 6.-B--The
fearful plea of a comely blonde who
dramatically entered a temple to
proclaim herself the wife, muse
and soul' of Ludwig Lewisohn and
demand that this wedding must
stop" failed today to halt the mar
rage Of the Jewish author to tall,
dark-eyed Edna Manley.
Lewisohn and Miss Manley stood
before Rabbi Edward L. Israel,
ready to take their nuptial vows,
when Miss Thelma Spear rushed
into Har Sinai temple, accompanied
by her attorney, Bernard Sander,
and a blue.eyed, ~six-year-old boy,
whom she said she bore to Lewis
ohm.
With artistry attesting her years
as a concert soprano, she asserted:
This wedding must not take
place. I have been his wife, his
muse, his soul"

speaking for myself, as secretary,
l know that my directors are in ac-
cord with me, particularly in this
thought: Although we are proud
of the gains made during the year,
our principal concern is not mere
ly large assets but the condition Of
these assets. Every possible care is
being taken in the careful selection
of loans and as our statement re-
veals every caution is being taken
in regards to collections. You wi |
notice that we have practically no
foreclosure real estate on hand,
there being only one piece of prop
erty amounting to $1,253. 90. You
will also notice that the increase in
reserve this year of 60 per cent
owe last years total, indicates that
we are striving to safeguard the in
%stitution from any possible losses.
We have entered our forty-third
year of operation without a single
loss, with undivided profits and re-
serves Of approximately $685. 900. 90
and it is my pleasure in concluding
to state that your association is in
a perfectly sound and we'll balanced
condition.
May I thank the president and
other officers for their daily con-
facts with the association and the
directors who have made this sue
cess possible through their average
attendance Of 80 per cent for over
twenty meetings during the year. I
would like to express by apprecia-

Both men and housewives are
slowly going crazy with towels which
are covered with lipstick smudges.
Men don't like 1t, because they are
always afraid of being contaminated
with touch of lipstick themselves.
And housewives with neat and tidy
instincts don't like it because it
looks messy and because they know
the color is Just about as hard to
wash out Of a towel as inkspots.
But still some girls never seem to
learn. 1t might not be quite so un-
bearable for the others in the home
If the culprit used just one towel.
But invariably she's the kind Of girl
who likes to start out on nice clean
towel each time.
There's really very little excuse
for this behavior these days, with
all the paper towels that there are
for wiping of cosmetics. But there's
one way to make a girl see the ad-
vantage Of paper over cloth for.
wiping OF lipstick. And that's to
make her wash every lipstick stained
towel in the house for two weeks.
She'll be careful how she uses q
towel after that. JEAN.

But you can't do that for long and
retain the respect of your fellow
players. Therefore all of us must
strive to overcome our natural ten
denotes to be elated when we win
and disgruntled when we lose, and
display to the world q calm and
nonchalant exterior, even though
we're triumphant or disheartened
inside.
Good manners in sports also de-
mand absolute fairness to an op-,
ponent. In doubtful cases, you must
give him the breaks. You want to
win, but only if you can do SO
without taking advantage Of your
adversary in any way.
If you're good you mustn't be
patronizing toward those who are
less capable. This is particularly
important for boys who are playing
against girls. On the other hand
false modesty is insincere and mis-
leading. When you win give your
opponent full credit for a good try.
When you lose don't alibi or COM
plain. Naturally you'll be disap-
pointed but if you must show your
disappointment take it out on your
self. It's all right to bawl yourself
out for your own mistakes, but don't
blame the umpire or the weather
or bad luck.
Sportsmanship also demands q
willing observance Of all rules of
the game, including the unwritten
rules that form the etiquette of that
particular sport. In golf you don't
carelessly distract an opponents
attention when he is putting. In
tennis you don't return loose balls
so wildly that your opponent tires
himself out retrieving them.
Over and above the principles Of
fair play the etiquette Of sports is
little different from good manners
on any other occasion. You show
decent respect for the rights of
others and a cheerful consideration
for their convenience and comfort.
On bathing beach you don't kick
sand in the face Of an innocent by
stander or playfully push Tessie
Timid's head under the water. You
don't hog the diving board or the
beach ball. You aren't loud or
boisterous and you don't annoy
other swimmers with roughhouse
antics.
You observe the safety rules Of
the pool or beach, realizing that
they were made for your protection.
If a nfeguard cautions you, you
comply cheerfully with his instruc-
tions, with no back talk and no
wiSecracks. You show good taste
in your choice of costume, remem-

Flabby Upper
Arms a Sign
Of Inertia
Exercises Improve
Condition When
Done Each Day
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Hold your left arm out, relaxed. in
front of mirror. With the back Of
your right hand, pat under your
upper arm. What happens? If
your flesh ripples visibly, can place
bet that you are not as physically
active as you should be. Or you are
exercising only certain parts Of your
body, for your upper arms should be
firm and should resist gentle pat
ting. If you pat the lower part of
your arms you will see how 1t resists,
| for 1t is firmer.
1t Is the truth that women do not
exercise their arms enough. That
will bring howls down about my
head, but it is so. Flabby upper
arms are indicative of age and iner-
tia. Young children, who exercise
from natural desire, have firm upper
| arms.
Women should not refrain from
carrying things, pushing up win
dowS, opening doors, reaching UP
for straps in buses, or any of the
other things we permit men to do
| for us when we are in their COM
pany. Let men be chivalrous, yes,
but when you are not with them,
take every opportunity to use your
arms as you work about the house
or the garden.
Among the sports, swimming is a
good arm muscle flrmer. The next
best is tennis, but we should learn
to play with both arms. Playing
always with the right or left arm
overdevelops one arm and neglects
the other. This holds true for other
racquet games.
If you have a high door In a
room, open 1t up part way, reach
up and hang from the top of it. It
should be high enough to lift your
feet from the floor. Hang there for
several minutes. Relax. Do it
again later in the day.
Stand erect. hands placed on
shoulders. With force, throw your
arms out straight. keeping them
shoulder level. Bring hands back

Sit down on chair. Let your

hand into tight fist. Then by
quick twist Of your arm try to draw
a circle by turning your fist outward.
You will find that you can complete
only a half circle. Return to posi-
tion. Do this to a quick "one-two"
also. Then repeat exercise with left
arm.

Terror
Fears Are Banished
By Understanding
ENCOURAGEMENT
BY ANGELO PATRI.

One day Uncle Dan, in the good
ness Of his heart, wishing to give his
2-year-old nephew . real treat, set
him on the fire engine. and, putting
his little hand on the button, made
the siren shrek. Rudie screamed In
terror and since that day-he is now
past 4-turns white and cries hys-
terically at the sound Of the siren.
Children who have been fright
ened have to be helped to overcome
the fear. Sometimes we know what
happened to cause the fear, some
times we do not. It is almost i'm
possible to save sensitive children
from such experiences. Most little
children are afraid Of loud and sud-
den noises and the world is full Of
them. Shadows, feathers. darkness,
somebody's face, and many other
things frighten the child who is
susceptible. All we can do, since we
cannot and would not wish to steril-
ize life for him, Is to work toward re-
storing his confidence or building
up courageous resistance to the fear.
One good way is to let the child
see, or hear, the dread thing at safe
range. Accustom him to the expert
ence gradually. Little by little let
him get nearer it until he grows so
familiar with it that the fear dis
appears. Keep encouraging him
when he shows fear, but do not talk
to him about 1t at other times. Let
him forget it.
Forgetting the frightening expert
ence is a fine cure. II it Is possible
to keep the child out of range Of the
frightening experience we should do
so. We should never mention it to
him. If he speaks about it we should
let him talk out his feeling fully, and
speak encouragingly about it. Then
we should try to replace the thought
Of such an experience with one Of
pleasure, expectation and hope.
Some children seem to be born
with a fear OF dogs, dark-skinned
people, and furry animals. Char
acteristic fears are not as bad as
those that are created by shock. 1t
is easier. we find, to teach a child
to overcome that kind of fear
through experience than to remove
the one caused by shock. Just walk
past the pet store window casually,
saying nothing. Do it often, slack
ening your speed and looking with
plying affection at the unfortunate
animals confined there. The pet
shop proprietor may not like that,
but it will help to interest the child
In the fate of helpless little crea-
lures.
When possible bring the furry
creatures close to the child, begin
ming at safe distance. Don't force
him close to the animals in the ZOO,
but stay back, well back, and watch,
talking encouragingly the while.
Make the acquaintance of the dark
skinned people, the policeman, the
doctor, any bogey the child seems to
have in mind. Familiarity will ban
ish the fear.
Unfamiliar situations are full Of
dread for children, even older chill
dren. Prepare them for such expert
ences, such as going to strange
school, new house, a place where
there are strangers. Confidence de-
stroys fear. Work toward that
always.

q summer meal, try cooking 1t the
day before, chilling 1t well over
night and serving it cold with a
very tart orange jelly or applesauce
made of green apples, also very cold.
Fresh tuna, East Coast salmon
and halibut hold the spotlight in
the fish markets. These large,
meaty fish, untroubled by small
bones, are wonderful for boiling
and then serving cold with green
mayonnaise. That is, I like the
green mayonnaise for the salmon,
particularly; with the other two I
find a cucumber sauce or shrimp
or lobster sauce especially good.
Soft crabs are somewhat scarce just
now, but the meat of the hard
shelled variety seems to be arriving
In reliable lots. Soft clans for
steaming don't travel so we'll in this
weather.. but you may find any
amount Of the "quahog" type that
are fine for chowders-which, by
the way, make a good ''hot dish"
for an otherwise cold meal. And
don't overlook the delicious clam
broth that is so good mixed with
tomato juice and chilled for cock
tails or cold soup.
Big, juicy Elberta peaches are out
standing in the fruit line this week,
although cantaloupe from Maryland
runs them close second. Incl
dentally, hear that some of the
markets are going to introduce the
policy of selling cantaloupes by the
pound rather than by the "loupe." !"
This seems like good idea, as every
one knows how the melons may vary
in size and at relatively the same
price. Fresh figs, gooseberries, cur
rants and blueberries seem especially
fine just now. Seedless grapes are
sweet, full punched and very mex
pensive. Purple plurs are here, and
there seems to have been a furry
of new shipments of nectarines and
apricots.
