Effective Leg
Exercises Can
Be Very Helpful

kneeward, the question of leg con-
tour is troubling some of the pull
chritude seekers. Women with fat
ted calves believe that their griev-
ance is the worst that can befall
them in the way of unpleasing ap-
pearance, but the ones who are af-
flicted with thick, ugly ankles know
better. They say they have no in
terest in putting their best foot for
ward, because they haven't any best.
Chiffon hosiery and beautiful foot
wear that delight the hearts of the
pretty slimmies send them into a
state of gloom; they just seem to
call attention to outlines that are
not beauty winners.
Unless they bones are unusually
large, thickness of the ankles is adj
pose tissue, nothing else; it can be
disposed of in course of time if the
victim will apply herself assiduous-
ly to exercise The task is not a
difficult one, rewards will be gain
ed, but not in hurry. That's the
trouble with most beautifying en-
beavers. An affliction will be years
coming and, unless the presto
change act takes place almost inn
mediately, one loses heart. The spir-

Accent Is Job
| Bar To Teachers

NEW YORK, N. (SNS)-
That possession Of Southern ac-
cent is sufficient to bar certain
Negro applicants from teaching
posts en- the Works Projects Ad-
ministration's adult education. lit
eracy ard citizenship program was
charged here last week by William
Levner, president of the WPA.
Teachers Union. Mr.. Levner said
that DR.. Abraham Knoll, technical
director of the program adult
education had so ruled.
He stated that many Negro
teacher applicants had been re-
jected because of their accents
and asserted that the application
of such a policy would result in
"the elimination of practically
every Negro teacher from the
literacy and citizenship program"
Louis Herbert, chief technical
supervisor of the education pro-
gram of the WPA., replying to
Levner's charge, admitted that the
adult education program has
standards of accent and pronounce
alton though not so rigid as those
maintained by the Board of Edu-
cation.
"Only If an accent is extremely
distorted. :. DO we reject the
applicant he said.

day, but by the end OF the week the
spirit goes to sleep or gives up.
TAKE MEASUREMENTS
The only way to keep interested
is to take measurements before
starting reducing campaign.
Measure the ankle and the calf of
the leg; makes note of the figures
If you can sniff off half an inch,
you'll continue the good work with
high courage.
Play hop scotch. Pull up your
chest, pull in your tllrnmy, extend
your arms out on level with the
shoulders to provide balance, then
hop on one foot until muscles howl
for rest. Skip along on the other
foot You are not to do this exer-
else with pedals encased in high
heeled shoes. You are to do it when
your FOOTE'S are bare.
The purpose is to tighten and
strengthen musculature When fib-
ers are strong they fight the fat
cells, give them such licking
they'll go off and die
GET A JUMPING ROPE
If you prefer, get jumping rope
and use it. 1t is an effective exer-
else, but bit strenuous if one is
overweight. Women of forty o.. more
must be careful about OVERRIDING,
especially if they have neglected to
exercise in the past.
Massage is helpful in ankle slend-
erizing. Anoint the hands with lam
oline, place the root on low stool.
Make bracelet of the fingers,
working from ankle to the calf of
the leg. With the fingers on the
back of the leg, do circles with the
thumb. If the upper portion of the
foot is high and thickened, work
on that too.
After the massage sponge the
flesh with cold water, rub briskly
with a coarse towel.

ADVICE

We must practice what we teach
AS we journey on our way,
OF, our very acts, will speak out
And they can't hear what we say.
The friendly advice that we give
Let us try it out today
When telling others how to live
And be careful what we say.
The world has watching eyes
AS we journey to and fro
And what we are, we advertise
And sooner or later, they'll know.

President Praises
StdbiIizing Influence
Of All Clubs
Says He Is Interested
In Worthwhile Work
For National Defense

President Roosevelt. in a letter
to Secretary of Agriculture Wickard,
today praised the All Clubs as "a
great educational and character
building movement" constituting "a
great stabilizing influence in Amer
lea"
The letter was sent to the 18th
annual camp of All Clubs here.
The President said: Il shall be
grateful if you will express to the
delegates and through them to every
member of the All organization my
deep interest in the important,
worthwhile work being done by
them, particularly in national de-
fense during the present world
crisis. The All Clubs as a great
educational and character-building
movement are contributing better
living and a stronger Nation. With
the training given their members
in work, thrift, self-reliance, and in
the practice of democracy, they con-
stitute a great stabilizing influence
in America.

All delegates here may carry back

Edward B. Rowan, assistant chief
of the Section of Fine Arts in the
Public Buildings Administration,
described for the delegates the new
movements in American art. He
said nowadays farm activities are
not treated in the classical manner,
but are dealt with in a realistic
manner. He explained his point

Virginia Hit by Delays
In Asphalt Deliveries
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, June 21.-Al-
though conditions have not reached
serious proportions" the State
Highway Department reported to-
day that asphalt and other bitu-
minous material delivery problems
"are bothering us somewhat"
The major trouble thus far has
been in obtaining distribution of
the materials after they reach Nor
folk or Richmond by boat, a spokes-
man said
We've had only couple of days
delay insofar as the tankers are
concerned" he reported, "but the
Government requisition of railway
tank cars has directly affected our
work.
This is true throughout vir-
ginia"
Delayed deliveries became more
and more frequent last month, he
said, predicting that the problem
might grow more serious from
now on.
To avoid serious delays in actual
road work, however, the department
has instructed district engineers to
obtain all the storage space pos
slble for the accumulation of ma
terlals for use through the coming
year.
