daily exercise. Not violent exercise
nor excessive hard work, of course.
But you should spend two hours
every day in the open air and sun
shine if housework and weather
permits.
In your home, let your husband
or some other helper take over the
heavier tasks for awhile. Particu-
larry avoid reaching and lifting and
pushing heavy things around. When
you're outdoors, walk as much as
you can without firing.
You may be an athlete, but a
small dose of sports will go a long
way at this time. Golf, tennis and
swimming may be INDUCED in mod
erately the first few months of preg-
nancy. Most physicians advise
against long automobile trips at any
time during pregnancy and suggest
thai during the last month or two
of pregnancy women drive cars
themselves only short distances and
avoid heavy traffic.
Get at least eight hours sleep
every night, and take a nap in the
daytime, too. Your clothing should
be loose, so as not to interfere with
the breathing, the circulation, or
the increase in size of the baby.
Wrap-around dresses are conven-
lent but if you prefer the two piece
style, have the skirt attached to the
bodice so that the weight hangs
from the shoulders. A maternity
corset relieves back strain and is
apt to make you more comfortable.
High heels throw the body out of
it's natural position and cause strain.
Besides. they may cause a dangerous
fall Wartime walking shoes with
low broad heels are just the thing
for you. Your share in the Nations
effort at present should be a
physical fitness" campaign for
yourself and the new recruit.

Flag Etiquette
Discussion Is
Resumed =
By Emily Post

On the chance that there may be
other readers of my recent article
on flag etiquette who also misinter-
preted one of the directions, I think
it important to clarity this particu-
lar point by quoting this letter.. u m
taking the liberty of calling your
attention to the statement as to the
position of the blue field. In my
opinion, the blue field is in the upper
left. Your article says, Whether
the flag be hung horizontally or
perpendicularly, the blue field should
be on it's right"
In answer to this. con its right"
certainly means the flags right.
This does under most circum-
stances mean the observers left
always when the staff is on the
observers left). But there are cir
cumstances when the flag is viewed
from the back, or when the wind
has blown it so that it is on the left
OF the staff and the observer sees
the back of 1t instead of the front
and the field will be on the wrong
side. For this reason several off,
GERS, with whom I discussed this
description while my article was in
preparation, advised the official
wording, which is, If the flag is
hung horizontally chat is, with the
stripes running from left to right
the union Is at the flags upper
right corner. When hung vertically
with the strips running from top
to bottom) the union is similarly
at the flags upper right" ION its
right" seemed to me quite as clear
as saying ION the flags right"

thing hides away from those who
want want to help her. Imagine
how the cat suffers lying in the
brush with the ache OF the wound
growing worse by the minute, this
gentle pet who has been accustomed
to affection and care.
What about the boy who forgets
to feed his dog? He ate his own
dinner and never offered Fido a
crumb. He meant to give him his
dinner when he had finished his
own but his chum whistled for him
and he raced OF and poor Fido went
hungry until nighttime, when the
boys mother noticed the actions
of the dog and fed him. A gentle
man, another name for a good
American citizen feeds his horse,
his dog, his cattle, before he feeds
himself, always. He makes his
helpless friends comfortable because
he knows that he can always get
about and do for himself while they
cannot. They depend on him and
he does not betray their trust, lest
he be ashamed before his conscience.
Birds are so lovely, and so help
less in the face of cruelty one Won
ders that anybody could be found
on earth with the desire to hurt
them. Yet people, who would scorn
to be cruel to a dog or horse,
shoot the birds and leave them to
die lingering deaths of their wounds
with never thought of their cru
city. Good sportsmen are careful
about this but there are too many
that are not good sportsmen, shoot
ing at anything that flies, hit or
miss.
All living things are related in
intelligence. The dog feels for his
master, is attached to him deeply
suffers when he suffers and rejoices
in his gladness. The horse loves
his people, works faithfully for them,
carries them over the rough places,
shields them with his life. The cats
and the birds that belong to the
house, the birds and the small crea-
lures of the fields and the woods,
all are related to us. When they
are hurt, we are hurt spiritually and
materially.
Springtime brings out the animals
from their winter quarters and small
boys are abroad in the spirit of the
season. They must be impressed
anew with their kinship to the ami
mails, their responsibility to them,
and to themselves. Kindness eno-
bles youth, cruelty debases it. Good
craftsmanship is a characteristic of
American men. Teach the small
boys the rudiments.
All Boy Scouts, all Campfire Girls,
all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are
aware Of their responsibility to all
helpless creatures. This spring per-
haps they will make special point
Of teaching their younger friends
this obligation.

Nail Polish
Can Last
Longer
By Patricia Lindsay

The majority of American wom-
en- have gotten to depend upon
lacquer nail polish as much as they
do on hpsticks! Somehow our An
gers seem nude and not nearly as
willing to do our bidding If the nails
are not painted with a pretty polish.
So 1t Is with regret we learn that
nail polishes and their sealers are
now limited in production. That
means We must conserve-if we
want to keep gay fingers for the
duration.
And there is no sense in rushing
out to buy q big supply Of your
favorite shades, for lacquer polish
does evaporate and get thick. Bet
ter to march along with the other
patriots and buy only what you
need when you need 1t. But do
learn these polish saving tricks
which nail polish manufacturer
kindly presented to this column:
Drain the brush against the
side of the bottle before you apply
polish to nail.
IF nails are properly pre-
pared for polish and are allowed
ample time to dry cat least five
minutes) it will give days of extra
wear. Two coats wear longer than
one. But the first coat should be
thoroughly dry before the second
one is applied. Do not let a mani
curist rush you. Insist upon your
first coat being dry before the Sec
ond application is made.
3-Use a top coat, clear. to seal
on the color. Such a sealer may
be used every other day, not only
the day you manicure. It does
help prevent chipping and fading.
4-You may use a thinner when
the polish begins to thicken. The
trick is not to get it too thin.
5-When only a speck of polish
is left in the bottle do not discard
it. Pour some of another shade
into 1t, bit of thinner, and mix
brand-new shade for yourself!
6-When you apply polish up to
the end of the nail, remove q hair
line of it to prevent polish from
cracking when you use your An
gers against something hard. 1t
is prettier applied this way, too.
7-Practice makes perfect when
it comes to applying lacquer pol
ish. The novice finds it easier to
paint over the moon at the base
of the nail. This also makes the
nail look longer and more oval
the desired shape.

Not All Hats Are
For Pompadours

In season with so many hats
perched on top of curls, many
women who do not wear their hair
up" get discouraged, and wonder
II there is hat style for them.
Actually this year there are styles
for all types of figures, OF faces
and of hair-dos. The pompadour
hats are smart but so are sailors
and fedoras, which allow for wear
ing hair in any style. Snoods, pill
boxes and calots are all good with
a long bob, and the hats that perch
far forward on the head allow for
almost any couture.

Here's Fine
Bargain
For You
By Josephine Lowman

All women like bargains. 1 must
admit I virtually never find any
myself. However, my friends ap-
pear mysteriously with gorgeous
gowns which were marked down.
However, when it comes to bar
gains in exercise I am luckier. A
few years ago I planned my COM
bination exercises. These are eff
ficient in reducing both the hips
and the stomach and thereby kill
ing two figure faults with one mo-
ton. Others emphasize waist and
abdomen reduction while some hit
the three vital spots, waist, stomach
and hips.
had the very busy modern
woman in mind when I planned
these. Not many Of us, especially
today, have long periods to give to
exercise and We want results with
minimum effort.
This exercise will do things for
both the waist and the stomach !:
Lie on your back with your arms
out at your sides, shoulder height.
Bend both knees up over the stom-
ach. Keep the knees bent as you
ron from side to side, hitting the
outside of the upper leg and hip
on each side as you roll.
The exercise described is particu-
larly effective for the hips and the
waist. In order to trim the midriff
it is important to keep the palms
toward the floor and the fingertips
holding tight to the floor.
You can do this exercise 10 times
the first day and increase until you
are doing it 20 times, morning and
night.
If you wish to have my Com
bination Exercises" for reducing
both the hips and stomach, send

envelope with your request to

Data on Cannin{
Fresh Fruits,
Vegetables
Bv Edith M. Barber

Everybody is interested in can
ming vegetables and fruits this year
Of course, it will be some time be-
fore products will be plentiful and
cheap, but we should be getting
ready for practical canning pro-
gram, especially If it has not been
undertaken in prewS times. Just
what is a practical program? The
answer depends upon a number OF
things. Fruits and tomatoes may be
put up" even by city housekeeper
but the canning of other vegetables
should be undertaken only if you
have a Victory garden, as you may,
If you live on the outskirts of the
city or suburbs, or in the country
for the summer months, unless you
have source of supply which
guarantees that the vegetables have
been picked only few hours.
The Bureau of Home Economics
OF the United States Department OF
Agriculture recommends only the
pressure cooker method for vege-
tables other than tomatoes. The
reason for this is that in certain
sections of the country. an organ
Ism called Botulinus is found in the
SOIL The toxin which this may
produce is not killed except under
pressure. In the Eastern and South
ern and middle Western States, this
organism is seldom found in the soil
For this reason, the hot water bath
method can be used if the vegetables
are absolutely fresh and if, as final
precaution, the contents of the can
are boiled gently for 10 minutes
before they are even tasted. I sug-
gest that any vegetable canned by
the hot water method should be
labeled with the note Boil contents
10 minutes before using" This is
an insurance of safety, as you can
not tell by odor or taste when the
Botulinus toxin is present.
Every housekeeper who is plan
ming to can vegetables by the hot
water bath method should write to
the Extension Department of the
State College to find out whether
these can be done safely in her sec
ton of the country without the use
OF pressure cooker.
Of course, we shoul6 all like to be
able to have pressure cookers for
canning vegetables, not only because
OF the safety of this method, but
also because the time of processing
is so much shorter, and therefore
labor and fuel saving. Unfortu-
nately, there are not enough of
these to go around
For hot water bath canning, you
will need large kettle, such as a
wash boiler or a new garbage can
with cover and rack upon which
the jars can be set. Any kettle which
is deep enough so that the boiling
water can come one inch above the
jars can be used for canning. The
hot water bath is preferable for
fruits and tomatoes, all of which
take a comparatively short time for
processing.

Nail Polish TIPS

Press your colorless nail polish
into service on your conservation
program. Here are several wartime
uses for it.:
l. Stop stocking runs.
2. Prevent scratches on precious
metal compacts, clips and metal
fasteners on bags.
3. Protect finger bandages from
CRIME and raveling.
4. Cover edges of desks to keep
splinters from catching stockings.
5. Paint over automobile stamps
before washing car window.

Moreover, the fewer demands you
make, the more material and labor
will be released for the days when
we may have to be really frugal. It's
the job of every woman to take care
of her own clothes and to keep a
watchful, patriotic eye on the ward
robes of the rest of the family.
A few weeks ago we passed along
some suggestions for caring for fur
and cloth coats. Today let's look at
the less expensive, but equally vital
portions of your attire.
AS usual, the little touches" are
the ones that mount up. If you don't
have the habit of going over your
clothes once a week, mending small
tears, catching loose hens, launder-
ing collars and cuffs, brushing, air
ing and cleaning the things you own
then you can't expect to get the best
wear from your clothes.
Equally as important as this minor
mending and pressing is your
knowledge of cleaning and launder-
ing. When you buy, be sure to ask
not only the instability of gar
ments, but also about their Clean
ability" Employ the best dry clean
ing firm you can, for it's no bargain
to pay less and have clothes return
shapeless, half-clean and often
ruined. Usually cottons will launder
unless they have special finishes
generally indicated by tag. Rayons
are, as a rule, best when dry cleaned
although there are some that can
be Numbered carefully. When you
send a garment to be dry cleaned, be
sure to make a note of any special
stain so that the cleaner will know
exactly how to treat it. Be sure
that belts, buttons and buckles are
safe to be cleaned, and when in
doubt, remove them. A number OF
reputable cleaners ask you to take
off the buttons, and some of them
say that if you will send them along
in little bag, they will be sewn
back on after the process. Buttons
can be ruined or lost-have you
ever seen the lost button box at a
cleaners?-and it's wise idea not to
run the risk.
Same idea with belts. Remind the
cleaner If a belt is backed with
leather or don't send it at all if its
in a dark color.
Woolens, one of the riskiest fabrics
to handle, often can be laundered
at home, but you've got to know
how to do it correctly and success
fully. If there's any question in
your mind as to its instability, send
the garment to be dry-cleaned. In
washing, close all slide fasteners and
remove non-washable trimming:
don't subject woolens to sharp
changes of temperature: and don't
forget to make an outline of the
garment on large sheet of paper
so that it can be pinned into its
correct form after the washing.
incidentally, the Department of
Agriculture has a new booklet en-
titled Take Care Of the Wool You
Have" You can write to the depart
ment for it and you'll find it very
instructive and helpful.
Other hints for taking care of your
clothes are these: When you hang
up dress, be sure that the hanger
is long enough so that the garment
doesn't slip off at the shoulders and
consequently stretch out of shape.
Fasten it at the front or sides or
both, so that it hangs straight, and
hang the belt separately so that its
weight doesn't make the dress droop
in odd places.
