Exercise
Can Be Easy
And Effective
nv IDA JEAN KAN

SOME OF you have been COM
planning that you can't take eX-
ercise. Maybe you can't skip
rope or do the high bicycle. But,
il you take it easy and get in
condition, you'll be surprised at
the workout you can work up 10.
You might begin with eXer-
cises so simple they don't even
seem like exercise.
For example, stand with feet
Slightly apart, hands dangling
Imply at sides. Now. move
hands at wrists and turn both
hands in and out. You may
have trouble co-ordinating the
movements of both hands. II
so, that's an exercise you need.
Finger Exercise
Another five-finger movement
consists in clenching the hands
and placing the four fingers on
the inside of the thumbs Then,
flick the fingers straight out,
with snap.
Finish by wagglng hands back
and forth at the wrists, loosely.
Repeat with arms held straight
out at sides, shoulder level. and
with arms straight out IN front,
and, finally. with arms straight
up overhead.
Watch Posture
Those are the simplest NJ *
crcises. But. while doing them,
watch your posture. Pull up and
in with the lower abdominal
muscles, stretch through the
TnidriH, tuck The hips down and
under, and hold your shoulders
down. back, and relaxed. That
is quite an order,
You can go on 10 more strenu-

sition.
When you get good at this.
you'll be able 10 dispense with
the anchorage for your feet and
hold them on the floor by sheer
force of will power.
For Trunk Muscles
Another good exercise for the
trunk muscles is this: Lie on

up in air. knees straight and
toes pointed. Now. shuttle legs
back and forth While you 70

Dead

roaring days Of Detroit, the days
when the Motor City was just be-
ginning its march up the ladder as
the automobile center Of the world.
1t was in those days that Junior
opened his haberdasery store on
st. Antoine street. in the building
now occupied by the Thomas Paper
company.
Prior to that he had worked as
waiter in hotels in various sec
tlons Of the country, and friends
yet relate some Of the stories he
told them about his experience as
waiter. This helped him to pay
his way through Howard university
and the Detroit College Of Law.
In late years he had blossomed
forth as a poet, and it was in the
columns of the Michigan Chronicle
that he had his first verse publish
ed. His column in the paper was
underline caption Sage Of St, An
tome Street"
In addition, he had a number
OF his poems published in maya
zines. AS they were written in a
vein that attracted the man Of the
streets, his verse was well known
to thousands.
Hanging in the window Of his
office are copies Of The Eternal
Triangle" Return OF the Practical
Son" The Singing Bartender" and
many others. There are also pic
lures of Henry Armstrong, the late
Bob Willis and Hattie McDaniels.
Junior was a good friend Of Will
lis, and many were the friendly
arguments they had as they diff
fered about worldly things.
Junior was born in South Caro-
lima. He was a member of Alpha
Phi Alpha fraternity, and fer a
long time lived at the frat house
on Eliot street. He was also men,
Der OF the Wolverine Bar associ-
alton. and each year would read
one Of his poems at the yearly
meeting.
He was as much land mark in
Detroit as the late Bob Willis, and
his passing will be felt by many
Junior was a friend Of the poor
man.

CHINESE PUZZLES

Senator Ellison D. Smith of South
Carolina spoke for millions of Amer
lean people when he said:
"Why, they even tell me that now
they are taking the ruffles off ladies
lingerie. Now who in the ex-
poets to win war that way? AL
these rationing orders are nothing
in the world but Chinese puzzles.
They've got the people so restless
they don't know what to do. Ration
ing of rubber and gasoline is the
most horrible and irritating thing
ever invented and the American peo-
pie just aren't going to stand for it
and I don't blame them.
zone of these days the American
people will rise up and tell the gov
eminent just what they are going
to do. They are going to say: We're
willing to fight war, but we aren't
going to fight one right here, so now
you get rid of all those rationing
orders"

truth and millions of American peo-
pie agree with him. This war will
never be won by putting one restric-
ton after another upon our pepole.
This war can be won only if we
achieve complete unity and this cam
not be done by creating special
privileged class of people in Amer
lea.
If Mr.. Average Citizen can get
along without tires, gasoline, sugar
and adequate old-age pensions, why
cannot the members of Congress do
the same?
The sooner the favored few stop
playing politics with the war effort
and get out and fight with the rest
of us, the sooner America will win
the war.
Thank God for men who can keep
their heads and remain calm in these
days of war hysteria.

japanese may move in from the
other, and the country of Gandhi is
not known to be in position to de-
fend itself very effectively. There
may, of course, be some surprises
awaiting an enemy, but actually very
little is known about what India
can and will do in case of aggression.
Brave Chinese.
It stands to reason that the Jap
anese attitude toward India will de-
pend on the outcome of their five
year old war against China.
Just now the Chinese are defend
ing their soil with a courage and a
skill which have baffled observers,
fearing that after all these years of
incessant warfare the armies of
Chang Kai-shek would be too ex-
hausted to keep on. But they do fight,
and they fight as desperately as al
ways before. In spite of their hero
ism, however, the Japanese continue
their progress, ever deeper and deep
er into Chekiang and North China.
Bombing Front.
Whenever and if ever the expected
Second Front is opened, it is likely
to merge into a unit the European,
the African and the Asiatic fronts,
for the general offensive of the
United Nations should be as totali-
tartan as is the attack by the axis
powers.
BY way of preparation for the
United Nations offensive, the
British have again bOmbarded
Bremen and other German in
dustrial centers in a big way.
A few weeks back the Royal Air
Force dropped millions of pounds of
bombs on Rostock, Cologne, Essen
and many other cities in Germany
proper as well as in Nazi-occupied
countries. Then, all of a sudden,
the commandments ceased, that is, not
entirely, but they were not kept up
on the grand scale indicated at, for
instance, Cologne.
There are a good many OBJ
servers who feel the British made
a mistake i'm not continuing, with
out pause, these bOmbings, day
after day, night after night. As
it is, Hitler gains time, between
bombs, to rebuild what was de-
strOyed.
The purpose of the British bonn
bardments is to destroy whatever
war supplies may have accumulated
in the Nazi centers so as to prevent
them from being shipped to the Rus
sian front, and in London it is
claimed that the bombings of the
last three or four weeks have re-
suited in the eradication of about
one fourth of the arms, tanks, air.
planes and munitions which Hitler
had ready for shipment. If that is
true the effects will be noticeable
quite soon.
