WOMAN,S REALM
GIOrEing Yourself
By Alicia HaFs
(NEA Service Stan Writer)

(NEA Service Stan Writer)
 The ideal wartime figure is slim and graceful-not boyishly fiat and angular, or fat or lumpy. But more important than your proportions, just now, are the supple muscles and firm flesh that tell of "condi- tion." And, as smart women know, half the battle for that in-the- pink look is won with the achieve ment of correct posture.
 Stand before a full length mir TOT and look at your body from all angles. Is there an exaggerated hollow in the center of your backP If so, the chances are your stomach protrudes also, and your hips look larger than they are.
 FLATTENING SPINE
 IS FIRST STEP
 Walk over to a wall. Standing about eight inches away from it, place the center of your back firm ? ly agains tthe fiat surface. Never mind about your shoulders; just concentrate on that hollow.
 Press your spine backward, flat tening it. Pull the stomach up and in, and elevate the chest. Now step in against the wall and, very gradually flatten all your backbone against the wall, raise arms above head, and make your shoulders touch the wall. You'll notice that your hips tilt forward.
 Hold this position for a few sec onds. Relax and repeat.
 This is the way to get correct posture. When you get used to it., you'll be able to maintain 1t with out benefit of the wall.
 To straighten the neck, elimi- nate the "dowager's lump" and keep your chin in line, do one sim pie exercise. Simply relax your neck, letting your head fall back ward as far as it will go. Now place your fingertips below your ears and pull your head upward. Make your hands-not your neck muscles-do most of the lifting job. Place your hand on the back of your neck and see whether or not it's straight.
 Shoulders should be held beck, but not stiffly. Many sabove-collar- bone hollows disappear when shoulders are carried properly.
 Bad posture is one of the few beauty defects which can be cor rected at no expense and with pre- ciouS little effort.

 o. How much meat must I buy to serve eight people at dinner?
 A. Meat shrinks from one-third to one-half in cooking. Therefore allow one-fourth pound of meat without bone for each serving, and one-half pound of meat consisting of lean, fat, and bone as minimum for each serving.
 @. I am a dressmaker and live in a section where there are many factory workers. I have been asked by some of the women workers to make work clothes for them from government patterns. Where can I get information about these gov- ernment patterns?

Q MODERN MENUS Minerals and
 VtQn1inS Are Apple Assets
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

Summer apples, arriving in large quantities and selling at reasonable prices, are well supplied with essen- tial minerals and, in general, are good sources of vitamins B. c and G, and have a small amount of A..
 Many growers are leaving the apples on the tree longer before picking. That increases the con- tent of natural sugar, and these apples, picked later, require less sugar for sweetening when cooked in pies and buildings and sauces.
 Select apples that are firm and free from decay or bruises, accord ing to use. Buy sour apples for cooking and sweet apples for salads and deserts.
 Apple Cold Shaw
 Serves 4
 One quart shredded cabbage, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 1-8 teaspoon pepper, 1-2 teaspoon sugar, 1-2 teaspoon grated onion, 1 tablespoon vinegar, l red-skinned apple, chopped, IA cup salad dressing.
 Add seasoning to cabbage and marinate in vinegar for 5 minutes. Add apple and salad dressing and serve.
 Tomatoes stuffed with apples and vegetables call for what you have left over in the refrigerator. Wash tomatoes, remove stem but do not peel. Scrape out some of the pulp (save for soup) and in- vert tomatoes to drain. Sprinkle with salt and stuff lightly with choppd cooked spinach, chopped raw apple, with skin left on, and enough shaved cheese to hold mix ture together. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F0 for about 50 minutes.

Red Wings Virtually
Unbeatable, Leafs
Goa|ie Asserts
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, April 10.-The rags-to.
riches Detroit Red Wings are one
victory from one Of hockey's most
astounding Stanley Cup successes
and, in the words of Goalie Walter
CTurk) Broda of the Toronto Maple
Leafs, they virtually are invincible.
They're unbeatable, painted the
pudgy Broda as he pulled of his
pads after a 5-to-2 Detroit victory
last night before a sellout crowd Of
1884 whacky Wings partisanS
"They can't seem to do anything
wrong"
Sunday night Broda, the National
Leagues top 1941 net minder and
recognized as a standout in his pro-
fession, will get another chance at
the goal-crazy Detroiters in the
best-of-seven series.
If he fails the battered old trophy
symbolic of world hockey supremacy
will pass into the hands of a Detroit
club that finished in fifth place in
the regular season and barely quail
fed for the playoffs.
Toronto had every chance last
night to get back into the contention
for the cup it has missed six times
since its last triumph in 1882.
The Leafs got two quick goals, but
the Wings were not long in tieine
the count and then became masters
of the situation.

find no better protection in the event
of an enemy raid than the steel and
concrete stands.
And in New York, where all three
clubs are making extensive plans
to care for the customers in such
an emergency, an ofdcial has de-
creed that afternoon games should
not be interrupted, even by a raid.
'The ball players viii be the
soldiers in that situation" said
Harry M. Prince, chief civilian pro-
lection adviser of the ONCE of
civilian defense. They must stay
right where they are and take it,
If it comes. up to a certain point
The show must 60 on. Otherwise,
it would be like actors rushing OF
stage. If they show panic, you can
see what might happen"
Parks to Have Raid Wardens.
Here, as we'll as in some other
major league cities, a sticker on the
back of your seat will tell you what
to do If an AFRAID warning sounds
II you are to move at all, there
will be green and red arrows to
direct you to the proper shelter.
Specially rehearsed AFRAID war
dens will be on hand to take charge
and public address systems will be
extended to the areas beneath the
stands to carry instructions to all.
I've been in baseball so years and
this is q new experience for me, "
said President Ed Barrow Of the
Yankees. I'VE are printing signs
on each seat with the proper direc-
tions-sit tight, follow the green
line or follow the red nne-and we
have installed red-painted barrels
of water, buckets, bins full Of sand
and fire extinguishers."
In Yankee Stadium, where no
night games are played, $4,000 per-
sons can be sheltered under the

Leagues best pitching staff, and 1t
owns a tolerable defense.
Manager Bucky Harris most
pressing problem at the moment
centers on second base. He has
tossed in the towel on sore-armed,
light-hitting Frank Croucher, and
the man who may open the season
at that spot is 41-year-old Ossie
Bluege, returning to active service
after lapse of two years.
I'm going to play Ossie IN these
games with the Phils," says Bucky.
"and we'll see how he stands up
under it. He'll be our second base
man at least until something de-
velops."
That something" Of which Harris
speaks is a deal whereby the Mats
would acquire a second baseman.
Bluege admittedly is too ancient to
stand the rigors of continuous play,
although he figures to bolster Wash
ingtons defense any time he pulls
a glove on his sizable paw.
Bluege's Legs Stand Up.
Harris has been forced to aban-
don hope that Croucher could work
the soreness out of his throwing
arm. Frank reported marked i'm
provement in his ailing arm only
two days ago, but now the mild
hammered infielder, obtained from
Detroit in a winter trade, fears the
trouble is more than muscular.
"I thought my arm was coming
along great few days ago" fumes
Croucher, "but now it's as sore as
ever. I believe it's being caused BY
a Clipped bone, teeth or tonsils,
because otherwise the soreness
would be gone by now"
Bluege, one of the all-time great
third basemen, is an amazing article
in that little of his defensive cum
ming has evaporated despite the
termites of time. His zest for COM
petition remains at q lofty level,
and he feels he can aid the Mats IN
sporadic appearances.
