Heart of System

Heart OF the "Currier System
is the standardizing Of house
models TO six basic exterior de-
signs and two interior plans.
All houses have a large living
room. two bedrooms, kitchen.
dinette and bath on the first floor.
with space for two additional
rooms on the unfinished second
floor. All houses have full base
ments and earlier models had
automatic heating plants.
Much of the rough and finish
lumber for the houses is pre-cut
in the Currier mills to reduce
manual labor on the job. The
system is reported 10 cut ID 10 %
per cent from the time necessary
TO complete a house.

Protecting metal parts with fin

since unprotected repairs rust, and
corrosion would render useless such

Lift UpChest
And Take Slack
Out Of Spine
Take Courageous
Attitude, Face
Life, Says Writer
BY HELEN JAMESON
Distributed by King Features
Syndicate. Inc.l

When a woman feels out of sorts,
when the bottom has fallen out of
her world for the time being, when
the old head aches and the whats
the use?" dirge is ringing In her
mind, it is the precise time when
she should lift her chest, take the
slack out Of her spine and march
1t is no time for her to stick her
head under a pillow and bawl. An
attitude Of hopefulness and coiir-
age brings better spirits.
No woman should look as she
feels unless she feels happy. If
she feels miserable she should try
not to look it, because looking it
will make her more wretched. She
should freshen her complexion, put
on lipStick, chase out to get a new
hairdo.
GO TO STAND UP
An observing husband says that
his wife leaps out Of bed in the
morning, runs to the mirror, gazes
at the reflection therein. IF she
looks ali right she says she feels
fine. If she doesn't, she says she's
half dead and maybe she'd better
go back to bed for the day. Anus
ing, probably untrue. But there's
something to it. Appearance may
not affect the physical being to any
great extent, but it certainly has
n n ho FOL
ituai state. q,
We've got to stand up to our jobs
these days. We might as we'll stand
straight. in a soldierly manner.
1t sometimes happens that a girls
posture is determined by the clothes
she wears. She encloses herself in
sWell-elegant frock, fares forth to
the gay party, carries herself in the
queenly manner. Tagging round the
house in an old dud she slumps in
her chest, lets the abdominal walls
go slack, forming neat little shelf,
and lunches her shoulders. She is
not on parade, so she doesn't care.
A bad habit. Correct posture
should be maintained at all times
for many reasons. It makes the
musculature strong. 1t keeps fat
cells from accommodating IN the
midsection. Breathing is deeper
than it is when the chest is con-
caved.
GET IN FORM
When the chest is contracted,
circulation is not as brisk as it
might be. Breathing is shallow;
Shallow breathing causes pallor.
If poStural defects have become
established, let the victim put her
helf in form with a prlsk walk ev-
cry day. She should keep the body
tall, take the kinks out of her back
bone, picking up spinal slack. She
should hold the chest high, pump
air into the lowest cells of her
lungs.
The area below the belt must be
held in. Step must be light. Should
ers should have an easy pose, arms
swing naturally, not held close to
the body.
Soon she will have feeling of
renewed vitality because the flesh
will be glowing, blood streams gall
Looping, spirits rising.
