Mayor Vincent 4. Scully today warned heads of city departments to keep their requested 1942 appropria- tions as low as possible because of great increases in federal taxes that will place heavier burdens on local taxpayers. In directing the depart ment heads to file their financial reports for this year and their re- quests for funds for next year by 1942, the mayor urged that items not vitally needed be eliminated.

Exercises to
Strengthen
Midriff
Begin Immediately
To Practice These
Splendid Ones
Bv PATRICIA LINDSAY.

With good resolutions the order
of the month there is no time like
today for taking your figure prob
lem seriously and to begin stream
lining program. Come early spring
and you will be beauty!
In consulting with Miss Catherine
Van Rensselaer,, who is the able
director of the Contour Corner OF
the American Woman's Association,
I offer you the first of series OF
exercises for the correction of the
most common figure flaws. These
are, as you might guess, too heavy
hips and thighs, habby or prom
inent abdomen, a dowagers hump
and a stiff spine which causes poor
posture and health.
Every figure can be improved"
claims Miss Van Rensselaer,, by
exercises which strengthen the spine
and abdomen. 1t is my opinion
that such exercises should be prac-
ticed daily, even though a woman
may be concentrating on refashion-
ing specific parts of her body
The following three exercises
should be practiced daily until the
next of the series appear. If you
have not been exercising let me
caution you to go easily at first
until you timber your body. Study
the directions with care, try the
exercises slowly at first and then
once you catch the knack and the
rhythm do each five or six times at
first. Gradually increase the num-
Der of times until you are doing
them as often as is directed at the
end of each exercise. Remember
that exercise is essential, but it
should not be overdone any more
than sun-bathing should be! Take
to it gradually.
Alternate toe touch with forward
bend-Sit with legs apart, arms eX-
tended outward at shoulder level.
Bend forward and touch both hands
to left foot, twisting trunk at same
time. Resume original position, rest,
then touch both hands to right foot.
Five times to each side and repeat.
Alternate leg placing backward
with hop-Squat, sitting on heels,
hands in front of you on floor,
between your knees. Extend right
leg straight back and with a hop
replace right leg and extend left
leg. In fairly fast rhythm, Is to 20
times. Rest and repeat.
Semi-somersault-Lie on back,
arms overhead. Sit up and touch
the toes, then lie back at the same
time swinging legs forward and up
ward until toes touch floor behind
your head. Lower legs to floor and
repeat in easy rhythm 10 to Is times.

Exercises for Warding OFF Old

Manners
of the
Moment

I know that shopping can tire a
girl. And I know that if you are
used to smoking you invariably dive
for a cigarette when you are tired
But that's no excuse for burning up
the town and every one else's pack
ages.
It's really dangerous to be STEP
ping along a department store aisle
these days with a package wrapped
in paper. At every jostle you have
to look over your packages to make
sure that some dangling cigarette
hasn't started a confagration.
The girls are really becoming un-
ruly in the matter of smoking where
they shouldn't. Men don't try to
smoke when they're at the lingerie
counter, or at the handkerchief
counter. And I don't think we
should let the men get ahead of us
in the matter of manners.

Dorothy Dix Says >~>
Boy of 20 Should Not Marry
Woman 10 Years Older

Dear Miss DIX am nearly 20
years of age and am deeply in love
with girl 10 years my senior. She
has been married and is divorced.
want to marry her, but my parents
do not approve of it and have tried
to persuade me to stop seeing her.
What is the best thing to do in
case like this? EDWIN.
Answer-The only thing for you to
do is to follow your parents advice.
Otherwise you will wreck your life
before it is fairly begun.
It isn't only that this woman is
10 calendar years older than you
are, she is, in reality, with her eX-
perience of love and courtShip and
marriage and divorce, 90 years your
senior. You are nothing but an un-
formed boy.
She is mature woman and there
is no possible way in which the gulf
between you can be bridged. II you
were 80 and she were 40, you might
make such a marriage success,
though it would be taking a great
risk.
If you were 40 and she were so,
it would make no particular diff
ference because you would be past
the romantic age and you would be
able to settle down to a comfortable
companionShip.
But at 10, when your ideals are
changing every day, when your
tastes are uniformed and you don't
know what you are going to be your
self, nor what you are going to want
in a wife, to marry a woman no.
in reality, is old enough to be your
mother, is suicide. Don't do it.
Dear Miss DiX-Full and flared
skirts look decidedly better on me
than straight skirts. but 1 learn to
my distress that sti iaight ones are
coming back into style. I have
always felt that very small per-
centage of women looked their best
in straight skirts, and all my friends
feel the same way. We want to be
In style and yet dress as becomingly
as possible. Who is it, anyway, who
controls fashion. and why are styles
