During the summer you may have
gone girdleless or worn the thinnest
most homeless one you could buy.
Now, you may discover, your hips
have spread and 1t Is diff1cult to
get INTO your fall clothes.
Here's q six-weeks' plan suggested
by shapely Gail Russell-one Of the
featured players who will be seen
on local screens In 1.-THE UNLIMITED"
which will shear Of inches from
hips.
First, take your hip measurements
and the date. Then, each morning
before retiring, stretch out on the
before breakfast and every night
floor, with arms folded and feet
raised about two inches, and roll
from side to side 20 times.
At the beginning Of the second
week compare your measurements
with those OF the week before. II
there has been no noticeable de-
crease, then step up the speed and
double the times you do the exer-
else. Roll correctly and never skip
q days routine, and you'll be re-
warded with hips simmer and trim

Ruth Millett marriages win be
good and lasting marriages?
They're the kids who are start
in gtheir marriages In one room OF
simebody else's house, who often
don't get to see each other but
once q week, and who are neither
afraid Of the future nor unwilling
to plan for 1t.
THOUSANDS OF THEM
There are thousands like them.
You probably know several such
couples yourself.
They are supremely happy just
being together whenever the war
permits. Though they haven't
much in the way OF possessions,
they think they are plenty lucky
tohave each other.
If they can find life as good as
they are living 1T today, chances
are living 1t today, chances are
living 1t today, chances are their
marriages will turn out all right
Why don't the experts" pay a little
more attention to them instead Of
talking so much about the war mar

COURTS MARTIAL
TO BE- DELAYED
Clark Urges Impeachment
OF Secretaries Slim
son And Knox Now

| WASHINGTON. Dec. T. tR -
Congress passed a resolution to-
day permitting a further delay OF
six months in the courts martial
OF the men commanding at Pearl
Harbor when the Japanese struck
exactly two years ago.
The resolution extended the two
year statute of limitations by a
half-year. Officials had said in
formation of value to the enemy
might be divulged if Rear Admiral
Husband E. Kinmel and Major
General Walter c. Short wer e
brought to trial now for alleged
neglect of duty
During today's debate Senator
Clark D.-Mo.> urged the impeach-
ment of Secretary of War Slim
son and Navy Secretary Knox I'M
less they ordered immediate courts
martial.
! The Senate made one concession
to Clark. 1t struck out the House
proviso extending the statute of
limitations to one year after the
Japanese war ends, and made it
instead six months from today.
The House approved the revised
version.
Clark, a regimental officer in the
Army of World War One, said in
the Senate that Stimson and Knox
were guilty of "a disgraceful dere-
LECTION of dute'' in postponing
courts martial of Rear Admiral
Husband E. Kimmel and Major
General Waiter C. Short.
The commander were relieved
of duty soon after the Japanese
attack. Their superiors d a
courts martial might bring out in
formation Of value to the enemy
and should be put off to some in
definite future date.
Clark aimed his criticism at the
cabinet heads by way of voicing
his opposition to House-approved
resolution extending the two-year
statute of limitations so Kimmel
and Short can be brought to trial
after the war.
Clark protested that there still
was time-today-to bring formal
charges against the two command
ers. Referring to Stirnson d
Knox, he added
IF they continue to fail to per-
form their duty they should be
impeached."
The House resolution said both
Kjmmel and Short had agreed to
waive the statute of limitations,
and would stand trial when the
military heads deem it advisable.
There was a question raised. how
ever, whether either had the right
to waive legal provision.
Asserting there is apparently
new deal conspiracy aimed to
prevent any criticism of our for
eign policies" Representative Fish
R.-N. W called for an immediate
court martial of Kimmel and Short.
