THE PROFESSOR GETS HIS DIAPHRAGM FAILED UP

Newspaper clipping tells of @ Professor" who blew into town and blew and blew and blew. It seems the professor has a mission in life. he wants to teach people how to breathe-at $5 a lesson.
 The professor is 56 years old, has a 47 inch chest and 34 inch waist measure, and from his explanation of the function of the diaphragm I should estimate he has I. @. of fully ten years. It is all so simple, he says. You place your finger on your fifth vest button. If you do not wear vest don't become discouraged try the button you were born with. All set? Good-take it away, Pro- lessor.
 Exhale (says the professor) and note the manner in which your stomach pulls in.
 Pipe down, Professor, pipe down. You mean belly, not stomach. Would you say limb when you meant leg, if there were ladies present, Pro- lessor?
 That (resumes the professor, un- perturbed, nay, unabaShed) that is your diaphraghm going to work the way it should.
 Folks, if you have already paid the professor for your first lesson you're out of luck and out five bucks. Forget it and take it from or Doc Brady and all physiologists of bet ter than fourth grade standing that when you exhale and your belly Cor "stummick," as the profes- sor calls i0 pulls in, sinks, retracts, dehates, becomes smaller, your dia- phragm is NOT going to work or not working, but resting as much as it can rest. It is NOT pumping poisons out of your body" but just resting
 Commands the professor: "Ex- hale consciously ard forcefully. Think of your nose as an organ of exhalation. Forget all about inhal- ing. That will take care of itself"
 If you think of breathing at all. children. don't think of your nose, but think of your belly. Think of | inflating the belly (belloWs), no- tice how the belly expands, bulges out as though it were bellows be- i ing inflated, while you are irhaling and for more efficient breathing you had better inhale through wide open mouth for the first few months of natural breathing exercise.
 Your diaphragm works while you inhale-in fact contraction of the diaphragm Ca muscle) is the main part of inhalation, inspiration, talk ing in air.
 For health's sake don't try any trick breathing exercise prescribed by professors or voice teachers or others who are ignorant of elemen- tary anatomy and physiology. If you wish to improve your breathing send stemped envelope

 It's smart to leave your hair nat ural gray or natural silver these days. There's as definite a vogue for natural beauty among chic older women-the real style leaders of the country-aS among the younger set.
 If the fresh-faced, vivaciouS, nat ural girl has replaced the languid, pouty- -mouthed glamor girl in the model business and, to some extent, in Hollywood, then the dtgnif1ed, poised, lightly rl1ade-up older woman with gray or silver hair has re- placed the type that used to mimic her daughter, dye her hair without ever stopping to figure out why she did it and, in general, disregard the little matters of both charm and dignity.
 NO LAVENDER AND
 OLD LACE" EFFECTS
 Not that completely chic older women, like Mrs. Harrison Williams, for example, who always heads the best-dressed lists, are adopting sweetly old-fashioned hair styles, giving up makeup and trying to look like painting of Whistler's mother. Far from it. But they are observing more closely the rules about making the most of what you have in the way of beauty instead of trying to change every single thing yourself.
 There's plenty of hair dye being sold, of course, and a great deal of it to some very smart women. But month by month, we notice more gray heads in every gathering.
 We notice, too, that the most att tractive silver-haired women apply their makeup and otherwise groom themselves with an infinite amount of care. They brush their eyebrows after powdering; smooth the edges l of lipstick with little brush; wear thin, delicate film of vaseline on eyelids for evening; turn their lashes up with a special little eyelash culrler.
 The vogue for gray hair has gone so far, in fact, that Gale Page, attractive young Hollywood star who hasn't natural gray hair i'll her head, often silvers her hair for evening. She uses a new powder that is harmless, simple to apply evenly and which may be washed out in a few minutes.
 POWDER COVERS UP"
 TWO-TONED HAIR
 It's generally used to make those white streaks from forehead across the crown of the head, but Miss Page does a thorough job and makes i all of her hair silver -gray-especial- ly when she is planning to wear a black evening dress.
 Incidentally, Hollywood women who have dyed their hair for years but who want to let it be natural gray from now on use the silvery powder during the growing out process. They report that it simpli- f1es the growing out problems con- siderably.
 (From Kurlash, New York;
 Grooming is doubly important
 to the mature woman. Her hair
 must be neat and shining, eye
 brows trim, skin smooth and clear
 and clothes perfectly fitted, clean
 and pressed.

 A little prune magic is very much in order right now, while this dried fruit is so plentiful. Prunes are between season and all-seaSon fruit, with excellent keeping qualities. Each pound yields about F Serv- ings at a surprisingly low cost.
 They supply iron and furnish some calcium. These two minerals must be checked constantly in the average diet. Besides iron and cal cium, pruneS furnish some vitamin B, and some vitamin A. But don't depend on prunes for vitamin c, be- cause most of that important vita min is lost when the pruneS are dried.
 Wash the prunes and put them in saucepan, cover with hot water, and let them soak for about an hour. Then put the prunes on to cook in the same water. Cook them for about half an hour, or until they are tender. To sweeten, add about 2 tablespoons of sugar for each cup of pruneS just before they rae done. A little salt added at the cooking time and sprinkling of lemon juice at serving time enhance their flavor. If the prunse are intended as part of the meat course, plan to serve them hot, adding sugar and spice and vinegar while they cook. Or the juice from a jar of pickled fruit will give just the right blend of sweeS-sour-Spi for toning up.
 PRUNES WITH CEREAL
 When prunes go into cooked cereal, it may be easier to use the old method of soaking them over- night. In the morning while the cereal is cooking, remove the pits and chop the prunes. Cook them with the cereal long enough to heat through.
 Stuffed prunes make a good salad ingredient when combined with colorful fresh or canned fruit, sliced orangSe, grapefruit sections, pieces of pineapple, or peach halves. Soak the pjruneS until soft, cut in hte- side of each to take out the pit mad fill the center wit.: peanut butter, cream cheese, or cottage cheese.
 For sandwiches soak prunes un- til soft, remove the pits, and grind

Corps Now Tops
3 Departments

The Civil Service Commission re-
ported today that the Quartermaster
Corps of the Army had grown to
such proportions that it is bigger
than any department of the Gov
ernment except the Navy and Post
Office.
This was one of the bureaus
which the commission cited as being
larger than most Government de-
partmentS. The statement was
based on figures compiled by the
commission for new series of quar-
terly reports on Government en-
ployment by bureaus.
The Quartermaster Corps COM
prises one-third of the War De-
partment and employs 105 ,958 per-
sons, of which 6,357 are employed
in the District. The Corps of En-
gineers and the Office of the Chief
of Ordnance are among the largest
of other War Department estab-
lishments.
Among the independent estab-
lishments, the Home Owners Loan
Corp. is larger than the State De-
partment or the Labor Department,

Rent Control Hearings

of the House District Committee was
directed today by Chairman Ran

legislation to fix and control rentals
here.
Rental agents and apartment
house owners will be the principal
witnesses.
Two rent control bills are pending
before the subcommittee. One pro-
vides for creation of a special COM
mission to regulate rentals. The
other would authorize the President
to designate q Government official
as the District rent administrator,
to be vested with the same power
as the proposed commission.
Representative Randolph was un-

Robinson's S Attorney
Moves for New Trial,
Listing Alleged Errors
Prejudice Also Charged
In Case Of Convicted
Attucker of Girl, Is

District Court was asked today to
grant a new trial to william Isaac
Robinson, colored, found guilty early
this week of carnal knowledge of
l5-year-old daughter of a Govern
ment official.
Attorney David A. Hart, assigned
to represent Robinson. filed the mo-
ton for new trial, which will prob
ably be heard tomorrow by Justice
Daniel w. ODonoghue. 1t was al
legged that errors and prejudice fig
ure in the case.
Robinson contends. through his
counsel, that the verdict is contrary
to the evidence; that the court
erred in failing to grant him con-
tinuance of his trial, due to alleged
inf1amed public feeling here over sex
crimes: that the Government failed
to call all the witnesses listed on the
sheets supplied to the defendant;
that the indictment was defective
as it was signed by Assistant United
States Attorney John w. Fihelly,
who tried the case, and not by the
district attorney or his authorized
representative; that Robinson was
prejudiced by the numerous charges
in the indictment-two counts
charging carnal knowledge, and two
charging rape-and that the alleged
confessions of Jarvis r. Catoe, con-
corning 10 sex crimes. including five
murders, coming few days before
the Robinson trial, prejudiced that
defendant.
Carnal knowledge is charged
where girl is under 16 years of age
The jury found Robinson guilty on
both counts charging carnaI knowl-
edge and Justice ODonoghue di-
rected verdict of innocent on the
two counts alleging rape. He took

AdvisoryUnit
ToSeek Solution
For Penny Milk
Committee to See
IF 270 Pct. Increase
Is Feasible
(See Also Story on Page B-f0.)

(See Also Story on Page B-10)
A special advisory committee to
the Board of Education will be ap-
pointed by the board, possibly next
Wednesday, to help school officials
determine whether a penny-a-pint
milk project can be set up for un-
dernourished school children under
the terms laid down by the Surplus
Marketing Administration of the
Agriculture Department.
This was decided yesterday as the
school board held its opening meet-
ing of the new school year.
First Assistant Supt. Robert L.
Haycock was designated to draw up
nominations for the committed,
which will ascertain whether the
milk consumption among under
nourished. children can be increased
270 per cent to prevent milk pro-
ducers from suffering financial loss
in undertaking the program. The
committee will also have to decide
what, if any, District schools can
meet the rigid definition of low
income school the S. M. A. has OUT
lined-a school where 65 per cent
of the children come from relief or
poor families, Mr.. Haycock indicated.
Anacostia Situation Reported.
Board members also heard Mr..
Haycock outline a serious popula-
ton problem in Anacostia forcing
the use of two portable schools each
at the Benning and Stanton Schools.
He explained that six new schools are
ultimately provided for the area, two
of which probably will be completed
this school year, but the remainder
will be about a year in coming
through.
Principal problem in the area will
be provision for children in the
Bellevue development of the Navy
Department between Boiling Field
and the Naval Research Laboratory.
Mr.. Haycock said there was no room
at the Congress Heights School for
these children but that a double
shift class would be put in at the
Van Buren, School to accommodate
them. A double shift was ordered
also for Browne Junior High for
colored pupils.
To determine what the problem
will be elsewhere it was planned to
hold school registrations in that
area during the week before the
opening of schools September %.
Assistant Principals Named.
Three assistant principals were
named from teacher ranks at the
Deal, Paul and Shaw Junior High
Schools. They are j. NJ. Reicks,
geography and history teacher at
: Deal; Mrs. M. v. Eichner, CONNER
cial science teacher, at Paul, and
Miss D. w. Frazier, English and
history teacher at Shaw.
Mr.. Haycock announced continual
ton of the free hot lunches for un-
dernourished school children under
w. P. A. project that will also use
volunteer assistance.
Plans were also outlined for the
program of instruction for shut-in
children in which the teachers COL
leges will be asked to introduce a
course preparing for this type of
work. The present teachers for the
coming year are carry-overS from
the project previously run by the
Board of Public Welfare last year,
it was indicated, and efforts will be
made to give them a chance to
qualify under Board of Education
standards at the end of the year.
Mr.. Haycock said committee of
teachers and officials would be ap-
pointed to develop a defense savings
program in the schools.
