STATE

Packed with action, drama and excitement that one would find on the actual fighting front Wings For The Eagle" arrived at the air con- ditioned State this afternoon telling the spectacular story of the men and women behind the soldiers and sailors on the warning front.
 Critics state it Is 8 film that does a splendid job of lending individual drama with the one grim story that hovers over all personal conflict the world struggle to smash the Axis.
 Lovely Ann Sheridan and debon- air Dennis Morgan have the leading roles with Jack Carson and George Tobias in the supporting cast. The film is set, for the most part, in the huge Lockheed Aircraft Plant Ann and Jack play the role of married couple who split up when Jack be- comes irritated over having wasted his money on phony engineering course.
 Morgan portrays care-free char acter who lands a job at the Lock- heed plant in the hope that his draft board would consider his job essential" But Pearl Harbor changes his mind in hurry and he realizes he had & wrong slant on things.
 Dennis also takes advantage of Ann's quarrel with Carson and goes all-out in his attempt to be pleasing but he soon learns that her heart is still with Carson. Tobias, as usual, gives a splendid performance as the shop foreman whose whole life is wrapped up in Lockheed and the patriotic fervor to speed up the work. His son, played by Russell Arms, also works at the plant, but leaves to join the air force and To- bias is prouder than papa with a newborn babe.
 All in all wings For The Eagle" is a must" for everyone. Be sure to see it before the closing perform ances Saturday evening.
 The second big hit of the program is Bullet Scars" a gang land thrill Ter with Regis Toomey, Adele Long mire and Howard da Silva.

 Correct posture is an absolute essential to health and beauty.
 Rocking back on your heels in those now-so-fashionable low and wide -heeled shoes should give you fine start to attractive posture, once you get over your alWays-in- stilts bad habits.
 To get a good standing position if you've never felt sure you had it, just approach any wall-backwards. When your shoulders touch, so should your derriere, and you shouldn't be able to put a footstool into the space in between shoulders and hips. In other words, there should be no exaggerated hollow in the middle of your spine.
 If you thus discover 8 need for improvement, stand with heels about three inches away from the wall, feet together, knees slightly bent. Now touch head and entire spine to the wall by pulling the stomach and diaghragm in and up. Relax and repeat. You should do this several times 8 day.
 Later, try the same stunt, but with arms raised high overhead, sliding or reaching" up the wall as high as possible while the en- tire back is kept fiat against the wall.
 Another idea, used in most gyms is to sit with both feet stretched out in front of you on the floor Grasp & light stick-a broom will do-with hands wide apart, anc slowly raise the stick overhead anc back as far as you can. Lower the stick, relax, repeat.
 GOOD POSTURE
 HELPS BREATHING
 Good breathing requires good posture and free expansion of the chest sideways. Stand correctly Place the palms of your hands on your ribs. Now push with both hands as you exhale to the count of three. Release the pressure of hands, but keep them on the ribs, and inhale to the count of three.
 You will feel the chest cavity ex- banding properly. Notice, too, your upper chest does not expand for ward very much. Repeat this exer- else five times daily.

A woman pushing a baby buggy with two kids tagging along be- side her doesn't even look weighed down with the responsibility of child care if she is wearing a play suit instead of house dress.
 Maybe there is a psychological reason why women - doing more of their own house and yard work than they have done in years - have substituted play clothes for work clothes.
 CLOTHES HELP
 MAKE THE JOB
 It may be that they feel less like household drudges and more like gay young things if when they get ready to wash a stack of dirty dishes they are wearing what they would have worn if they had been starting off for tennis game.
 But psychological reason or not, the house dress is certainly being replaced by slacks and shorts - which may do something for the poorly thought of job of house.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL
 SOMERSAULTJNG
 Through faulty technique long ago I illustrated the Invitation to the Somersaultauqua" with draw ings designed to show the novice how to roll 'em. The sketches seemed to me to make the thing SO simple that any one could get the hang of it almost at a glance.
 But it only goes to show that as & teacher l deliver @ mean wood on the bowling green. It has dawned on me, since we inducted Patsy and Bill (grandchildren) into the order, that the position of the model in the drawings is fundamentally wrong, and I regret now that 1t did not occur to me to use movie to illustrate the invitation. Might have saved a lot of ceilings in the apartments below. I hope any reader who darn nearly broke his or her neck trying the stunt in the manner of the illustration will think no more about 1t. My error. I'm cory, but after all 1t does seem as though any one should be able to turn dozen on the floor anywhere without anybody below or in the next room wondering if there is an earthquake.
 You see, the secret of successful Somersaulting lies in curling up tight at the take-off. The instructions, as you may read in the Invita- tion, were as follows:
 Crouch down, place both
 hands on floor Cor pad or mat
 tress at first) 1h feet apart,
 then place the top or crown of
 your head on the floor between
 your hands. Look out, now!
 You're in precarious position,
 and 1t requires but slight push
 with your feet to roll you over.
 It isn't the top or crown of your head, but the back of your head or as nearly the back as you can contrive, that you should place on the floor. In the right position for 8 smooth, easy roll which brings you right up on your feet (still curled up tightly you should be able to look up between your legs at the ceiling behind you just be- fore you push of.
 What daily somersaulting is good for the Invitation to the Som- ersaultauqua" explains - for copy send stamped envelope bearing your address. Few doctors take their own medicine. I do half a dozen or a dozen rolls and the half dozen se- lected movements from the Last Brady Symphony which I believe essential to preserve vite, first thing every morning and often take the kinks out of body and mind by dolling few in front of my desk when at play here in my playroom preparing these articles.

 A. Yes. It is prepared by plac- ing sponge cake on brown paper on a wooden oven-proof plank. The cake must be a little large in di- ameter than the brick of ice cream. The ice cream is placed on the sponge cake and covered with egg whites beaten until stiff, to which sugar has been added. The meringue must entirely cover the ice cream. It is then baked at 400 degrees for 5 minutes and served at once on a chilled platter.
