Teach Child
To Sit, Walk
Gracefully
BY IDA JEAN KAN

TODAY'S MOTHERS might
possibly be to blame for tomor-
rows wallflowers. If all modern
mothers could teach your six
year-old daughters TO sit grace
fully, walk beautifully. and do
a few of the unacceptable calls
themes for beauty. how could
there be any wallflowers?
Lovely Edna Phillips, solo
harpist with the Philadelphia
Orchestra, is SO sincerely con-
WINGED OF these precepts for
beauty that she is spending part
of her leisure in teaching Joan.
her precocious young daughter,
some OF the fundamentals.
AT that age" observes the
harpist. children are not only
at their most maileabie stage
but they also have n certain
amount Of steam, which must be
worked off. They might ~ well
do IL In n constructive way"
Correct Walk
II young Joan turns out TO be
short in the legs. she will know
how 10 carnouflage ii by sitting
forward in her chair, back
straight but at ease. And If she
is long in the limbs, she will
sit well back, with the small
of the back pressed against the
chairback.
In the meantime. she Is doing
the posture exercises Edna Phil
lips didn't become interested in
until after she became a career
woman.
"One OF the best" says her
mother, sis TO stretch against n
wall. You just stand q little dis
lance from the wall. both hands
stretched against the wall. Then
you push your hands up rs high
as you can get them and nc the
same time lean against the wall
until your chest touches It."
Posture Exercise
Another good posture exercise
is TO sit on the floor with a
wand grasped in each hand, near
the ends.
The trick is TO keep the arms
stretched overhead, in line with
the shoulders, as you bend for
ward and try 10 touch wand to
toes in front.
Still another is TO stand erect
with wand held high overhead,
feet parallel and slightly sep
arated, and bend over and touch
wand to floor in front of your
feet.
Learn TO Relax
All those calisthenicS are
good, but Edna Phillips believes
no woman can be charming I'm
less she also learns to relax.
For that she recommends
gardening-'it takes away the
neuroSes. You cannot possibly
garden and harbor any i'll will
or petty annoyance - and it's
good exercise. too"

fact, in Havana proper the gay life of a sub- tropical holiday capital continued normally. Though the palace area itself was deserted for soldiers and policemen, the down town streets continued crowded and traffic moved normally.
 Nervous at Palace.
 The atmosphere around the pres idential palace was a nervous one. The United Press correspondent, at tempting to enter the palace, was warned away. When he tried again a soldier reached for his automatic pistol and the correspondent left.
 However, the correspondence suc- ceeded in reaching President Batista by telephone at Camp Columbia. He said he retained complete control of the army and dominated every as- pect of the political situation.
 "I am in complete command oi the army and the nations armed forces" he continued Order and peace reign throughout the country. am receiving reports from all over the island and there are no dis turbances anywhere"

 Tax collections were so heavy dur ing the closing week of 1940 that they completely surpassed the ex- pectations of city officials and made possible so great an er-collection of revenue. An even better record is believed possible during the com ing year, the same officials claim. And they also point out that under collections for the same period will be practically eliminated, on the basis of the experience with several items in the 1940 budget, such as miscellaneous revenues which fell $69, ,549.30 short of the amount set up in the budget; and estimated balance, surplus resource sinking fund, which was $12,O99 99 less than the estimate according to the bud get.
 Actual receipts for 1940 amounted to $6,414 4,585.12, while the estimated receipts were only $6,159,O22.72, re-

 Conl0n Statement
 Controller Conlon issued the fol- lowing statement with the official preliminary figures this morning:
 "The preliminary figures submit- ted by the Budget Director indicate an operating surplus for the year 1940 of $417,573 .56. This surplus re- suits from an underexpenditure as against budget figures by the vari- ous departments of a total of $162,- 011.16 plus revenues in excess of the budgetory estimates of $255 ,562.4O net. The record on tax collection was particularly gratifying, exceed ing the budget by $337 7,311.69. An overestimate of miscellaneous rev. enues over which the city govern ment has no control, reduced the revenue over collections to the fig- ure of $255. .562.40. This overestimate has been corrected in the 1941 bud- get"

It was on the very day or the crime that he picked up a hammer lying conveniently nearby when Mrs. Beall asked him to investigate a gas odor in the cellar, and used it on Mrs. Beall.
 Finishing Blow
 He then went upstairs to MT Beall,s room, saw the husband lying on the bed and repeated the head assault. Beall rolled over to the floor, and John struck him a second time.
 He then went looking for the keys to the car. Failing to find them downstairs, he returned to the bad room, struck the grooming Beall with a stool and returned to sec- oad search for the keys. Mrs. Beall's pltifal cries in the cellar caused him to return and strike her a sec- ond time.

quarters alleged that in opposing Batista's authority, supporters ol Gonzalez and Pedraza had planned to do away with the president. Ba- tistas quick, positive action. how ever, was said to have frightened supporters of the army and navy chiefs.
 Assuming personal command of the armed forces, Batista establish ed headquarters at Camp Columola, the army base outside Havana and arranged to broadcast to the nation at g a. m. EST. He called congress to meet at the end of a 15 day period during which constitutional guaratnees of civil liberties have been suspended, and will ask con- gress to approve his action. Heavy guards were thrown around the presidential palace. q
 Colonel Jose E. Pedraza, chief of the army. and Colonel Aurelio Con- zalez, chief of the navy, were ar- rested few hours sfter an an- nouncement that they and Ber- 
 tional police, had resigned. It was announced also at Camp Columbia, that Lieutenant Colonel Gutierrez Velasquez, commander. of the first army regiment at Santiago, at the eastern end of the island, had resigned and had been replaced by Chief Insepctor Oscar Diaz, who telegraphed Batista that everything there was normal.
 It was understood that Batista, surrounded by his aides at Camp Columbia, was busy diSmissing some high army and navy officers and promoting others whose loyalty and discipline was unquestionable, and generally recognizing the whole high command.
 Soon after announc cement that the chief of the army, navy and na- tional police had resigned, Batista suspended constitutional guaran- tees of civil liberties for 15 days.
 Ready For Action
 The Cuba and the Patria, trim American-built escort vessels which are the principal units of the Cuban navy, rode at anchor in the bay ready for action.
 Army and navy leaves were sus- pended.
 Batista, from his headquarters at at the Cuban garrison post, issued a terse statement, his first, expalining a sudden crisis in the affairs of the government which he had controlled first as chief of the army, then as president, since 1883 when, an army sergeant, he became tired of wrang- lings among politicians and took charge from behind the scenes.
 "For the nations welfare" Ba- tista said, T hvae decided to remove the police chief from his post for reasons of Internal discipline. The chiefs Of the army and navy have been arrested because of their sedl- tious attitude in connection with certain decrees involving the reor- ganizatIon of their administration, These events forced me personally to assume command Of all the armed forces"

 Willkie was expected also to seek information on Irish attitude toward recent German bombingS of London and the sinking of Irish ships.
 The ministry of information at London said in communique on Willkie's visit:
 "Mr. Willkie took off for Dub- lin to meet De Valera. Ever since MT. Willkie first arrived in this country from America it has been his keen desire to have the oppor- tunity for discussion with De- Valera but it had been feared that the very limited time at MT. Will kie's disposal and the pressure oi his innumerable engagements would make the journey impossible.
 Arrangements
 Last night, however, arrange ments were hurriedly concluded for the trip.
 MT. Willkie expects to return from Dublin in time to carry out his previously arranged plans for his early return to America.
 MT. Willkie was accompanied by High Commissioner Dulanty ane two companions who came with hin from America.
 MT. Willkie's stop in Ireland iS limited to meeting De Valera anc the party will return afterward di' rect to an airport 1n thlS coun' try"
