Exercises for
Firning the
Bust Line
Large Upper Arms
Also Reduced bv
Daily Routine
By Patricia Lindsay

II is hard 10 believe but it is a
fact that the exercises which tend
TO firm and build up undersized
busts also tend to reduce the bust
if practiced diligently. This is be-
cause the busts are a mass of deli
cate glands which generally need
flrming and they respond to exer-
else for firming and uplifting. If
a f1abby bust is firmed and uplifted
its flabbiness disappears and 1t is
considerably smaller IL. measure
ment.
Many women who have feshy
busts also have heavy upper arms.
according to Miss Catherine Van
Rensselaer,. who is figure authority
of the American Woman's Associa-
ton. So she has suggested the fol-
lowing three exercises to reduce up
per arms and f1abby busts. or to
build up undersized busts and
strengthen upper arms.
Single arm circling-Stand up
right, one hand on hip, the other
hand closed. hanging at side. Tilt
your body slightly forward from the
waistline and swing hanging arm
forward. up and back in full semi
circle. Do this Is or 20 times. Rest
Reverse arm positions and repeat
exercise.
Arm f1inging with trunk twist
Stand with feet 6 or 8 inches apart,
body bending forward slightly from
waist, head up. chin in. Swing both
arms from right TO left. twisting
trunk at waistline. Keep knees
straight. Arms should not be tense.
Swing back and forth in rhythm Is
to 90 times.
Arm flinging and circling-Stand
erect with hands crossed in front
of body. Fling arms up and back
four times in rhythm. ending with
arms extended outward at shoulder
level. Then make four circles for
ward with arms and four small cir
cles backward. Make the circles
rapidly. Repeat the whole exercise
five times.
Fleshy upper arms can be con-
siderably reduced through profess
sional massage. but the above exer-
else routine should be practiced
faithfully for month or two.
A woman who has extremely over
sized upper arms and bust should
see a physician, as frequently this
condition is caused by glands func-
tioning improperly Women with
such problem should never wear
evening gowns which have no
sleeves-short loose sleeves and a
deep square neck are more attrac-
tive.

"Slimming to Beauty" booklet
are excellent exercises for the
bust. Send 10 cents in coin to

Never heat any fats until they
smoke If YOU possibly can avoid it.
@. What fats make the best short
ening?
A. For cakes, biscuits and other
quickbreads almost any fat or oil
with a bland favor will work. For
cakes you may want a fat that
creams easily, such as butter, oleo-
margarine and many of the ny
drogenated fats.
There are number of fats on the
market that make good, faHy pastry.
But as to the best one to use, every
cook is still her own best Judge.
For the shortening value not only
varies among the different fats, but
1t also depends upon how the pastry
is mixed, Oils make good, tender

mealy rather than fiaky.

the shellac very thin, with as much
as four -fifths alcohol to one-f1tth
shellac in the mixture. This re-
ouires many coats. Since shellac
is not a surface finish but is used
only to fill the pores of the wood,
each coat is rubbed down to the
surface of the wood after the shellac
has dried for a couple of hours.
This process is repeated until the
pores of the wood are filled. Then
the surface is waxed according to
the method described last week, and
the waxing should be kept up two
or three times year.
Woods with a natural beauty of
color which the preliminary coat OF
oil has disclosed should not be
stained. Many light woods of no
particular beauty in themselves,
Ather in grain or color, may be
stained to a richer hue. provided the
stain does not seem artificial for
that particular type of furniture.
A warm brown stain is usually more
satisfactory than mahogany stain
which is not typical of simply made
pieces For example, simple ladder
back chair with a rush seat would
look entirely out of character II
stained mahogany, because mahog-
any wood was never used for that
type of chair. Chairs of this and
similar types will develop a rich
brown color of their own with Oil
and wax. The many pieces OF furnl-
ture in which more than one kind
of wood has been used should be
painted or stained to match one OF
the woods. Shellac and wax are
used for the finishing process.
For the stain. shellac and wax
finish YOU need few extra items.
For new or soft woods, walnut or
mahogany commercial oil stains will
give most of the desired colors when
mixed in varying proportions with
oil and turpentine. Be careful that
you select the brown rather than
the red tones in these. For hard
close grained woods use commercial
penetrating stains. No oil mixture
is needed.
Before the piece is stained, a pre-
liminary coat of "a raw linseed oil
and ~ turpentine should be applied
and the excess wiped off. This helps
the stain to penetrate evenly. The
stain should be tried on an unex-
posed part of the piece to be sure the
color is satisfactory and to learn
how the stain is going to act on the
wood. An oil stain is used on soft
and new wood into which it will

penetrate easily. Since the oil
stain will have no effect on the
hardwood. a penetrating stain is
used on it. A penetrating stain
should not be used on new or soft
woods, however, as it turns them
black. 1t is wise to use light stain
as it may always be increased by a
second coat if it is not deep enough,
whereas. If too deep it is almost i'm
possible to remove it without leaving
streaks on the surface.
The stain is applied with brush
or soft cloth, and all excess is rubbed
off. The stain must dry for 43
hours before the next step is taken,
If the shellac is applied before the
stain is dry. the Shellac will remain
sticky To bind the stain and TO flll
the pores of the wood, shellac is
applied as mentioned above. After
the pores are filled, the piece is
finished with a good rundown with
wax.
Professionals commonly use the
varnish method, but it is not recon-
mended for those without experience
because of the great difficulties in
obtaining a firSt-clasS finish. 1t is
necessary to have dust-proof
room and a fairly high, even tenn
uerature, as we'll as skill in applying
the varnish and in the subsequent
rubbing with oil and pumice. 1t IS
also a difficult finish to patch if
injured.

TIT FOR TAT:
ItaLy-U. S.

Washington was mildly infiamed,
if such term can be used, when
Mussolini, without any diplomatic
interchange, ordered u. S. consul
lates at Naples and Palmero closed.
Also all of the American embassy
and consular officials in Italy were
ordered practically to be confined
to quarters that is, their diplo-
matte rights to move about the coun-
try were denied, and they were
given categorical orders to stay
within the areas to which they were
assigned. 4.
Cordell Hull acted promptly in re-
prisal. The Italian consulates at
Detroit and Newark were ordered
closed and Mr.. Hull added to these
actions the same type of restrictive
order regarding the movements of
Italian diplomatic officers and
members of the consular service
here.
Mostly Americans were amused
by this interchange, particularly in
the comparison of Detroit and New
ark with Naples and Palermo.
However, Mr.. Hull's orders car
ried with them one additional item
which carried a somewhat sinister
note, and that was that he especial
ly restricted the Italian military and
naval attaches.
The Ely miner., 1941-03-20
SPRING.:
Offensive

The Nazi spring offensive was
gaining momentum, and the chief
early activity was in the Balkans
where, on the face of reports, if they
could be believed, Germany was
making a determined bid to pull
Italy's Albanian chestnuts out of
the Greek fire.
The reports of activity were volu-
BILE and confusing, as might be ex-
pected from activities that were at
least so per cent diplomatic and the
other so per cent actual motion of
troops and materials.
First step was the German infil-
tration into Rumania, with its ter
rife and chaotic aftermath; then
came the "mufti-invasion" of Bull
garia, closely followed by an actual
taking over of that country and the
massing of troops and munitions in
force on the Greek-Bulgar frontier.
The number of these troops was
variously estimated, the highest fig
ure being about 100000.
The throwing of 100000 men
of German blitz caliber against
Greece, most military men agreed,
would be fatal to the Hellenes if
they had at the same time to con-
tinue to defend against counter
attack of Italians bolstered by Nazi
officers in Albania.
That is, it would be fatal unless
Greece had substantial help. This,
on the other hand, if reports again
could be believed, England was
about to send. On the face of things,
Britain had already given Greece
considerable and substantial aid in
the Albanian battle, had vigorous
ly engaged and whipped the Italians
in Africa, and was strong in her
promises to aid Greece on the north
ern front when, as and if the Ger.
man attack materialized.
This aid was going to come, it
seemed obvious that it would have
to involve Turkey, which would
have to get in the war on the side
of England and Greece.
Visits by Eden and General Sir
John Dill were followed by their
moving over to Athens; the landing
of British troops at Salonika, reput-
edly a full motorized division, and
the formal request, a few days later,
by the Greek authorities, for a for
NAL assurance by Turkey that her
treaty commitments would be met.
The stand of Russia at the mo-
ment was dubious enough, but most
observers believed she would act
in the same manner she did in the
case of the invasion Of Poland,
namely, hold off until German sue
cess was sure.
