This business about American de-
signing that you have probably
heard the ladies talking about
seems to be sneaking up on the
stronger sex as we'll E. The mascu-
line fashion authorities tell us that
our love of originality is going to
take us out of our old conventional
rut, and that the monotony of dress
will soon be as unpopular as an
income tax blank
So, if you listen to the experts,
fellas, you'll be going in for new
clothes in vigorous colors and in
dividual designs. It's supposed to
give you new pep and ideas-sorta
jolt you out of a sortorial stupor.

Exercises Helpful
In Correcting
Most Faults
By Leffice Lee Street,

The normal, wer-nourished baby
Is as appealing a picture of rosy
good health as can meet the eye.
One blessing the average baby en-
joys is a beautifully straight spine
and fiat shoulder blades. Have you
ever noticed how erect, without any
effort or tension, a 9-month-old
baby holds his spine when he is
sitting on the floor?
If we observe the adults who walk
by us on the street, we will see that
there are lamentably few with good
posture. Parents and teachers could
have corrected many of these pos
ture faults, for "as the twig is bent
and so on" is true not only of chill
drens minds and characters but OF
their bodily poise, too.
But we cannot bully our children
into standing well. If we try by
scolding, nagging or calling atten-
ton to our child's slumped shoulders
before others, we will only make
him droop all the more. He will
stand worse than ever before either
from stubbornness, hurt or embar-
rassment.
Most schools today have classes
in physical culture, and they are
very worth while. A clever teacher
can make a game of standing cor
rectly, and parents can help at home
by following her example. Posture
tests always interest children; snap
shots or silhouettes intrigue them,
too, and can be used to illustrate
faults and improvement in standing,
walking and sitting.
Many parents are worried about
their youngsters posture, and before
planning a campaign to help your
child learn the healthy habit OF
standing straight and tall let us
make one point very clear. A thor
ough physical examination by a
doctor is advisable to start with,
because children will slump If they
are rundown, suffering from an
organic flaw or disease, or have poor
muscle tone.
There are many exercises that can
correct posture faults if they are
taken religiously. One mother made
a game of one of these exercises
with great success. Three of her
little girls playmates came to the
house in the afternoon and the
mother gathered the children to-
gether and read them fairy tale
about a queen who was divinely tall
and fair. After the story she sug-
gested that they play queen and
slaves" They were delighted with
the idea, of course. Each child took
turns at playing queen" and sat
at the top of the steps on a cushion
while her two slaves walked up the
steps to her with Offerings and
gifts" in cardboard boxes balanced
on their heads.
Walking up and down stairs with
books balanced on the head, being
sure that the child does not duck
his head to either side to keep the
books from falling, is a fine exer-
else for general posture, and 1t can
be made into lively contest with
prizes by a mother who Is inter-
ested enough to take the trouble
and use her imagination.
Have you questions to ask con-
cerning the care Of your baby?
We suggest that you send for
copy of Infant Care" Children's
Bureau Publication No. 8, United
States Department of Labor, to
aid you in raising healthy,
happy youngster. Send 10 cents

It's not enough to lose pounds.
You must have the pounds you pos
sess in the right spots. Often a
woman who is the correct weight
has a poor figure, due to bad dis
tribution of weight and to poor
posture.
The following exercise is fine for
strengthening the abdominal mus
cles and correcting round shoulders;
Stand tall, with arms hanging at the
sides. Drop forward from the waist,
letting the arms and head dangle
toward the floor. Now raise the
trunk until it is at right angles to
the legs. At the same time raise
the arms overhead. In order to
have the back straight and at right
angles to the legs you will have to
pull the abdominal muscles in hard.
Again drop torso toward the floor.
Continue.
If you wish to reduce the waist
line, do trunk rotation in the fol-
lowing manner: Place one foot on
chair, both legs straight, raise the
hands over the head. In this posi-
ton rotate the trunk in a large
circle, first to the left for a few
times and then to the right for sew
eral circles. You will feel the pull
of this exercise. The raised leg in
creases the pull on the legs and
Waistline. This exercise makes some
women dizzy. If it affects you in
this way, circle one time to the
right and then change and 60 in
the opposite direction.
The four important things to think
about in assuming correct posture
are: Tummy in, hips under, shoul-
ders free and relaxed, and (most
important of alb a stretch at the
back of the neck so that you feel
you are hanging from your ears.
