4 Wartime Stockings Get Thicker. s'sa
Your Legs Must Just GET Thinner
By BETTY CLARKE
AP Feature Service Writer

IF STOCKINGS get thicker legs will have to
get thinner. Besides you'd probably like them
simmer now anyway.
Here is a simple system for keeping legs slim,
says Rabana Hasburgh of Radio City ballet Use
chair as a staircase and simply step on and off
the chair as though you were walking up and
down stairs. Start with your right foot, put it
on the left chair for the first count then bring the
left up to the seat for the second count putting the
right foot on the floor again when you get the
left foot up The faster you do it. the better your
beautlfying but Miss Hasburgh says not to overdo
this at first.
She has another one she favors, too. It's right
out of the Ballet Corps routine for really keep
ing legs lovely. Here is the way to do it, Stand
with your right side to chair back, hold the chair
with your right hand and stretch your left to
your side at shoulder level Then bend your left
knee and lift that leg until it almost touches your
extended arm. Keeping your thigh as motionless
as possible, try to make a circle with your left
knee.
Eight times to each side is enough at first,
Miss Hasburgh insists. And she reminds you:
Legs will not get slim unless your exercise is
daily And you have to do your duty by the
exercise besides

1--WE must not do anything that
will in any way slow up the war
effort" he continued, "but at pres
ent there is a lack of uniformity be-
tween the states which should be
remedied by amending the selective
service act to provide that all the

tionwide pool so that all the single
men of the nation, not deferred for
good cause such as farm and food
production work or other work vital
to the war effort, must be called be-
fore any married men are called,
and all the childless married men
not deferred for good reason would
be called before the men with wives
and children.
Under such a law each state
would not be treated as a separate

tana would not be obliged to fill a
