SSuppIeness
By DONNA GRACE

THERE is more said OF exer-
Il else for reducing than for
grace and suppleness. We know.
of course. when the overweight
reaches the happy state of slen-
derness she Is satisfied and she
should be. but she can make
this slendefness the base OF
grace and charm.
Slender girls take exercise for
good carriage and grace in pos
ture. Dancers. too, go through
similar routines several times
during the day beside their
specific dance steps and this
means work. Professionals do
as much as seven hours hard
practice daily.

Rise on toes just as high as
YOU can and walk across the
room keeping firm balance.
Stretch arms curved overhead.

Second Phase

For the second movement. sit
cross-iegged on the floor. You
must sit in good posture or the
movement will do little good.
This means chest high and abdo-
men fiat. Push head high so
neck will be stretched.
You may think sitting Yogi
fashion is easy. but when seated
thus the knees should touch
floor. Practice this until you
can hold the posture easily with
out losing balance.

will not have so much trouble
with il but they. too, should
learn to assume this posture at
ease

Herr Groher, fearing to be left to
his fate in this alien darkness. fol-
lowed: such impolite speech could
be taken care of at a more appro-
pirate time.
Presently there was town ahead.
What place was this? Herr Grober
wished to know. But Sammy, strid-
ing along, did not answer. 1t was
late, and not many people were on
the streets. but from an open win
dow came sound of singing and
Herr Grober was brought to halt.

"Oh. l guess we amt so bad,"
Sammy reassured him. Maybe a
strip-tease here and there, if you
know what mean, but they crack
down on the burleycues when they
get too hot
Il think" said Herr Grober pa
tiently. you misunderstood. If
your America would be really great,
it should learn how to deal with in
ferior races"
Sammy had slackened speed. He
figured they must be pretty near
the center of this burg by now.
"You mean, l guess" he said.
I'VE should handle EN- the way your
fellows did that place, huh? How
did you say the name?"
Herr Grober was stiff. II prefer
not to say it. Our Fuehrer has de-
creed it shall never again be spoken
or written"
This is the U.S.A.," Sammy said.
I'VE talk right out in class here"
The place." Herr Grober insist

all memory of it are blotted out"
Meaning those are the orders?"
Those are the orders of our Fueh-

cursed spot Tell me, what is
that light burning so wastefully at
this time of night?'
Sammy had seen it, too. 1t looked
Evening star., 1942-11-08

just like the picture in the newspaper
he had picked up. Suddenly his
heart beat faster. Oddly enough.
what he remembered in that mo-
ment was the schoolhouse where,
long ago. as a kid. he had learned to
sing in shrill young voice:
MY country, it's of thee,
Sweet land of liberty -"
And then he remembered a girl in
working slacks who had asked him a
question and left him with a half
smile to haunt him: and a day when
he had lain in dusty security behind
a hedge while young men in khaki
swung by.
Take a good look, =" he told Herr
Grober now. pointing to the words
underneath the light. and trying to
get his voice steady. 1--WE put up
with you and brung you all these
miles to see it. 50 you'd know just
what America thinks. I guess you
have it there"
That was when Herr Grober sud-
denly became unpleasant, full only
of snarling and cultural inooheren-
cies. Sammy. indeed, had to exert
himself, proceeding he had once
thought distasteful.
I've coNKED my first Nazi," he
told them when he turned his man
in, "and it kind of felt good. Sup
pose you show me the way to the
nearest recruiting depot"
They pointed out to Sammy that
he'd have to wait. In the morning
they could put him in the way of it.
So Sammy went back and ga1ed
again at the thing he had brought a
man half across a continent to see.
He stood there, the SLOUGH of his
shoulders involuntarily dropping
from him. the muscles ripping
promisingly under his torn shirt.
He read once more, on a granite
shaft where burned the perpetual
light of remembrance, the words
that had given Herr Grober 50 bad
q moment:

Lidice. Czechoslovakia, destroyed
by barbarism but living forever in

where conscription will have to be
resorted to in order to sustain our

hands voluntarily. We must have
that response and we must have it
at once"
He appealed for urbanites to 60

Meanwhile, John J. Corson, direc-

Pan-Americans Plan
To Enforce Anti-Axis
Manifesto Drawn Here
Treasury Counsel Coils
Resolutions 'Dynomic';
Many Delegates Lineer

Delegates from the 81 republics
of this hemisphere to the Inter-
American Conference on Systems
OF Economic and Financial Control
soon will begin planning ways to
implement in their own countries
the eight resolutions adopted here
last week to restrict Axis influence.
The resolutions were character
lied by Edward H. Foley, general
counsel of the Treasury Depart
ment and president Of the confer
ence, as dynamic. bristling with the
call to real and positive action"
Called Answer to Axis.
This is the unanimous and mill
tant answer Of the 81 American re-
publics to the Axis aggressor," de-
clared Mr.. Foley. The program as
adopted by the conference If put
into effect will give the Americas a
unified system of finacial and eco
nomic controls that should result
in breaking off all trade and nego-
tiations with the Axis powers and
go a long way toward supplement-
ing controls in existence in some
of the countries of the Western
Hemisphere at the present time"
Warning that the aggressor coun-
try representatives in the Americas
would not take the force of our
blows meekly," Mr.. Foley declared,
They will fight back with all the
viciousness of a cornered rat, and
with all the intrigue and pressure
tactics symbolized by totalitarian
aggression and cunning. 1t will take
real courage for us to discharge our
duties in the spirit and with the de-
termination evidenced at this con-
ference"
Speaking for the Latin American
delegates at the closing session Fri
day, DR.. ]. J. Gonzalez Gorrondona
Of Venezuela declared: I'VE must
strive to destroy utterly all instru-
ments forged by the aggressor ma
tions to subvert our institutions and
fight us in our own land We
still have a dificult task ahead, not
only in the enforcement Of the sug-
gested measures, but in the adoption
OF any other complementary meas
ures that may be necessary"
Conference Called Success.
Some Of the delegates have left
Washington, but others are plan
ming to remain here for about 10
days or two weeks.
Success of the conference in ar
irving at its objectives through
harmonious discussions was hailed
by many Of the delegates In clos
ing statements.

decision.
Then the jurist told them:
II think I should explain to the
jury, now that you have reached a
verdict, why this course Of action
was necessary. The defendant in
the case has escaped and it was
deemed proper to do this"
The jury members who showed
no surprise when the justice made
his announcement despite the fact
that the escape had been carefully
kept from them, were warned by
Justice Morris not to reveal the con-

boat unsuccessfully dragged the
Washington Channel to recover the
body of a man seen struggling in
midstream about 12:45 pm. yes
terday.
The man who had been heard
to say he wanted to swim across
the channel sank before a lifeboat
from the S. S. Potomac could reach
him. Police located pair of denim
trousers, sweat shirt and pair
OF shoes near the Norfolk & Wash
ington dock, but they bore no iden-
tifying marks and the man was too
far away to be recognized.
Another harbor police craft pa
trolled the Eastern Branch.

In accordance with the promise

Whether Eklund had succeeded
in removing the teu-tale handouts
that hampered his fight during his
two nights and a day of freedom
was one Of the problems that con-
fronted police.
There was some speculation that
Eklund had outside help in ef-

case his abettors might have been
able to free his wrists. Police were

In the southern sector, inland
from the coast, the British yielded
slightly before Axis pressure. Fight
ing continued all day today with
Allied artillery laying a barrage
down on Axis concentrations to the
west.
The full extent of the fighting re-
manned obscure, but the Germans
made an armored sortie to the south
and occupied a thinly defended ridge
position formerly held by the Brit

Withdrew quickly.
1t was clear that the German and
Italian defenders OF the northern
positions, believed to be of the Tar
ento division aided by brigade of
the Nazi Goth light infantry, gave
way Ia the face OF the swift and
powerful British thrust. -
Heavy Guns Successful.
During the fighting in the south
British heavy guns were reported
successful against German tanks.
One crew told of shooting the tur-
ret off the heaviest type German
tank at l,000-yard range. Even
then, however, the tank kept mov-
ing along, to the amazement OF the
gunners, and eventually overran a
gun position, injuring some Of the
British who stood by. Others crept
up to attack the berserk tank and
found the entire German crew was
dead, having fallen in such a way
that the gears remained engaged.
