Lynn Says:

Valentine ideas are practical
for the celebration Of anniversa-
ries even after st. Valentines day
is past.
Recently I saw an anniversary
celebration at which a cranberry
mold was used. Cranberry jelly
cut in heart shapes was placed
around the big mold. The num-
Der of small hearts correspond
ed to the number Of years the
couple had been married.
The heart-shaped cakes and
molds of ice cream are much in
use for anniversary celebrations
and carry out the idea effective
ly. Heart-shaped candies may
also be used to decorate whipped
cream or desserts.

Free Switzerland

The Swiss Confederation was
formed August l, 1891, when Val
ley Uri, the Valley of Schwyz and
the lower Valley of Unterwald
combined in an Everlasting
League" By 1899 the Swiss league
had practically won it's independ-
ence from the Hapsburg empire,
and in 1913 that status was for
mally recognized.
Swiss custom is to celebrate the
independence as dating from the
formation of the confederation
and on August l, last, Swiss all
over the world observed the 65Oth
anniversary Of their freedom.

over well. A card party featuring

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-CUPa-
Elimination of double features in
nation picture theaters for the dur
aticn of the war was urged today
by Lowell Mellett. chief of the Bu-
reau of Motion Pictures, Office Of
War Information.
Speaking at the 10Th annual con-
ference of the National Board of
Review of Motion Pictures, Mellett
urged theaters to devote a part of
their program to factual films that
would give people the feel of the
war and their own relation to it"
The habit of sitting three or
four or even more hours" he said,
with ones mind afloat in fic-
tional world, hardly equips the
American population for the serious
job of dealing with real life. We
must grow into a people competent
to win this war"

This may be a long war he
continued. "If so, the wear and
tear on the emotions OF the
people will be severe. We believe
that the motion pictures can sus-
tain national morale in two ways:
One, by providing the relaxation of
entertainment, and two, by aid
ing in a basic understanding Of
why we are fighting and the things

Exercise
To Reduce
The E:IipIine
BY IDA JEAN KAN

IT'S SITTING down that puts
on the hip padding you are
ashamed of when YOU stand up.
Bat what's a girl 90 do when her
job calls for sitting for eight
hours or more day? She can
take one minute of exercise for
every hour she sits at work.
That will keep her Streamlined.
In these times, il isn't stream
lining that is so important, it's
conditioning. Every one Of you
Sedentary workers needs special
calisthenics 10 keep your own
machinery in good running
order. But the promise OF
Streamlining the hips may be the
extra incentive il takes TO set
YOU about exercising regularly
Too Much Sitting
Practically all hip problems
arise from sitting too much. But
problem hips don't look alike
and you have 10 pick your eXer-
else accordingly.
That squared-off effect across
the back of the hips is due 10
little cushions Of fat perched on
the side toward the back of the
upper hip.
There are two kinds of eXer-
else that deal with these fat
pads. First, bounce the fat of
then roll the line smooth.
Lie on the floor on the left
side with right knee bent and
the foot on floor back of left
knee, which is straight. left heel
on floor. Lean on left forearm,
with elbow bent. Place right
hand on floor back of you. That
position is not as involved as il
may sound at first. 1t gives you
a four-point leverage with which
to hoist your hips off the floor.
Then come down with a bounce,
smack on the pad of fat.
Keep bouncing II times. grad
ually increasing to 25. for each
side. Try this exercise TO the
tune of the Jersey Bounce"-it
might have been written ex-
pressly for this purpose!
Rolling Exercises
Rest for a minute. then roll.
Lie back on floor with legs
straight. feet held slightly off
floor. Now. roll! Clear over on
the side of the thigh. Push vigor-
ously with the hands. and roll
back across the hips and over on
other thigh. Continue for 25
counts. increasing gradually to
30. That's a Smoothie for the
hips.
If it's hustle effect your hip
line has acquired, you can roll
that away.
After that workout, YOU de-
serve real rest. TakeNyour hot
shower and lie down. warmly
covered, for 10 minutes. How
you'll relax! N\

THE PROPER care OF linens
helps add up 10 a good nights

Here are some suggestions 10
aid in that vital task:
First of all.-be careful 10 buy
sheets that are the proper length
for the bed for which they aiC
intended.
Many a bad case Of insomnia
has resulted from too-Short
sheets that throw the whole bed
out of killer.
The same is true Of pillow
cases. Get the proper size.
Sheets with permanent pro-
iecting size index tabs are a
boon in the linen closet, eS-
pecially when there are several
sizes in use.
Don't use strong bleaches
for washing bed linen.
Don't let the linen become so
soiled that this treatment is
necessary.
Don't forget TO remove stains
when washing. And try not 10
let cosmetics. deodorants and
similar preparations come in

pillow cases.

NO more shoes with wing

beating to the spectator, but
there's a means of creating the
same effect without using extra
leather)
S-The most important Of all
no more new shoe styles, ex-
cept those existing or in the
workroomS at the time the or

OF COURSE, there's no point
in Snubbing the shoes that were
made previous TO the limitation
rulings. They're still in the
stores and they're just as desira-
bic as ever.
On the other hand, TO 60 grab
of several pairs for boarding
purposes is just as foolish and
unpatriotic. The shoes, made

are as handsome and well-made
as the old ones. Buy what you
