Most men are not so fortunate,
for the bossy ladies are generally
astute enough to keep their fell pur-
pose of enslaving their husbands
hidden until after the knot is tied.
Before marriage they are as meek

do and it is only after their mar
riage that they show up in their
true colors as grinding tyrants.
One Of the most pltiful creatures
on earth is the henpecked husband
whose wife always walks in front Of
him and tells him where to sit in
any public place, who buys his
clothes and answers for him when
he is spoken to and who would no
more dare to make any suggestion
in his own house than he would to

Keep the Throat

Br Patricia Lindsay

A fiabby throat line is aging and
uniovely no matter how young its
posseSsor, and it can become un-
lovely through faulty posture hab-
its. long illness or strenuous dieting.
Here are few suggestions to help
firm it.
Cultivate good posture. When
walking, working or sitting keep
your shoulders back and down mot
hunched), your chest high, chin at
ease and your head nicely poised on
the tip of your spine.
Stand erect, hands at sides. In
hale slowly, counting 1894. while
you slowly tilt back your head.
Stretch the throat as much as pos
sible till the back of the head
touches your upper shoulders, Then
eXhale slowly to the same count
as you raise your head and bring
| back to erect position. Repeat five
times daily.
Lie fiat on your back with your
/ head hanging over the edge of
bed. Raise head until chin touches

turn over and raise head backward
as far as possible Repeat five
times Rest a bit before standing
up and doing this: Stretch neck
/ upward and twist the head from
side to side for several minutes.
/ Then tilt head backward and go

! motion.
Each night or morning massage
the throat and chin with a rich
cream or complexion oil. Work from
the base of the neck upward to
chin and outward. Then massage
up the side to in back of ears.
Press firmly as you finish each
stroke. Then with the back Of
your hands. in rhythm, briskly pat
along the contour to stimulate the
blood stream which carries the
nourishment your flesh requires.
Finish the treatment by tying up
the chin with a folded band Of
cheese cloth which has been wrung
out of iced water or chilled astrin-
gent. Leave this on as long as it
is possible, but do not forget to hold
to good posture.
1t might seem strange to you,
but exercise of other parts of the
body, if done properly, definitely
beautify the throat and chin line.

Interior Secretary Ickes said
today that be will ask Attorney
General Biddle to advise him on
his legal responsibilities, under
the Connally-Smith antistrike
bill, on the question of return to
private ownership of the coal
mines he has been operating for
the Government since May l.
AT the same time Mr.. Ickes told a
press conference that coal produc-
ton was gradually falling behind =
the goal of 665 100000 tons this year
and that he felt that the miners
could be producing more coal"
He has been considering, he said,

day is one of the provisions in a
contract between John L. Lewis
United Mine Workers and Illinois
coal operators which is before the
War Labor Board for approval.
Mr.. Ickes declined to comment on
that contract.
He said production of coal last
week was only l2,100,000 tons. COM
pared with an average of $4,000
tons before the first of the three
general strikes by the UNIV that
led to Government seizure of the
mines
Production, he said, must be
stepped up to 10000 900 tons weekly
to make up the 100000 tons lost
during the strikes.
One of the points on which Mr.
1ckes will seek Mr.. Biddle's opinion
is whether the $500 mines under
Government control could be re-
turned one by one instead of in a
single block.
The Secretary disclosed he had
already obtained an opinion from
his own legal department, but de-
clined to say what it was. He said
he would make up my mind" after
