BOY RANGERS WILL NEVER BE ROCKIES;
 NOW TRAIN FOR WAR

For instance: military swim- ming.
 Tn the classes he learns Co abandon ship by jumping through fire and swimming through oil. He gets used to making his way over and under floating obstacles, and he swims with Q full pack on his back, a gun in his hand.
 Ju jltsu, wall-scaling and mara thon racing are parts of the budding Rangers training. He also crawls through wire cages-gets to be pretty nimble at crossing barbed- wire territory before he ever sees it in actual service training.
 OFFICERS GIVE ADVICE
 Officers of oil branches of the armed forces and the merchant marine are coungeling the young. sters in many clubs. This helps determine where any lad would fit in and advance best. He comes out having something specific he wants to do as Q specially skilled fighter. and knowing the ropes about ofne cers' training or any objective he may choose for himself.
 Technical instruction given the boys includes motor mechanics. elec- triclty and radio operation, and pre- flight aviation. He starts his course with Q medical exam. Remediable defects are corrected. He is tough cned, gcared, partly trained for good soldering.
 Military swimming is accented in the courses because 1t has been found that the lack of this skill has cost many soldiers their lives. Thousands of draftees also are avalling themselves of the clubs offer to teach them swimming.

members of your family who have
not been immunized during the past
five years.
Immunization can be given for
only few diseases smallpox, diph-
liberia, typhoid and scarlet fever.
Many childhood diseases are most
communicable before the symptoms
appear. Protection against these
diseases consists of securing ade-
Quate rest and nutrition to build up
resistance, avoiding public places
during epidemics, Immediately iso-
lating a sick person within the
home, with precautions taken with
regard to washing the hands and
wearing special apron while car
ing for him.
For some of the communicable
diseases, such as mumps and whoop-
ing cough, serum is available. which
many doctors advise using in time
of epidemic. 1t is thought to lessen
the severity of the illness, if given
after exposure. Many contagious
diseases begin with the symptoms of
a common head cold - headache.
running eyes, general aches and
pains. nasal discharge This is one
of the best of all reasons for putting
a child with a cold to bed and iso-
lating him. The symptoms which
distinguish one disease from another

be the forerunner of a communi-
cable disease keep the patient in bed

prevent spread Of the disease and to
protect him from complications

Good Posture Is
Vital Aid in
Busy Life
Prevents Fatigue
And Nerve Strain
While Standing
BY Patricia Lindsay

Before any woman adopts an
exercising routine to improve her
health and proportions she should
learn to stand and to sit correctly
and how to lie in a relaxed, rest
full position. There is a great deal
Of difference between scientific re-
taxation, and the f1abby, careless
positions we fall into in a mis-
taken and somewhat self conscious
effort to stand at ease" or be at
ease.
The habit, for instance, Of young
girls and older women too, of stand
ing on one leg and allowing the
other to sag. This pushes the hips
and shoulders out of correct align
ment and encourages the spine to
assume permanent deep back
curve. called SWAY back" Fifty
per cent of modern women have
a tendency toward this most un-
graceful condition which also in
vites a "dowager's hump"
Yes, correct posture is the first
step in ones quest for beauty and
good health; it cannot be ignored.
To get the refreshed, free feel
ing of good posture. try this:
Stand in stocking feet before
full-length mirror. Bend knees for
ward over toes slightly, and pull
your buttocks down and under.
Place the left hand on the end
of your spine (sacrum) and the
right hand on your abdomen. Tilt
the sacrum up gently so as to raise
your left hand a bit, then tilt it
down gently and slowly and at the
same time straighten your shoulders
and let your head go back so it is
poised easily on the tip of your
spine. Your knees are still bent, but
now slowly straighten them as you
pull abdomen in forcefully.
You should feel a quick rushing
of your blood throughout your body
and little kinks or aches should
disappear miraculously. This is the
position that you should strive to
attain and hold.

not annoyed by them. The elderly
gentleman or middle-aged professor
who enjoys quiet and solitude will
not be happy in your too energetic
household.
If your own children are away at
school and your husband off to the
wars you might open your home to
one or two of the many employed
women whose husbands are in the
armed forces. They will be grateful
for the quiet, "grownup" atmosphere
OF your house. Being used to home
Of their own they find 1t more diff
f1cult than the young career girls
to take up quarters in another's
dwelling. Being older and more
settled in their habits they are likely
to spend more time in their rooms
than the younger crowd who have
movies or date planned for nearly
every night in the week.
1t is an excellent idea to furnish
the room for the settled employed
woman" as bed-sitting room. This
will make it possible for her to en-
tertain her friends in her own place
and have a comfortable feeling of
being at home.
This is easily accomplished by
dressing the twin beds as couches
One or two of the comfortable
Hollywood beds (box springs on legs
with innerspring mattresses) placed
along the wall may have tailored
spreads with matching back and
bolster cushions. These are useful
by day as sofas and are quickly
convertible at night for restful sleep.
Chests of drawers may be of the
four-drawer height with a mirror
above them. With the top drawer
used for "primping accessories" the
surface of the chest may be used for
flowers or lamp, for books or small
statuary to give the appearance of a
comfortable living room.

With two deep chairs, one with an
ottoman, and a pair of side chairs,
a low coffee table and the neces-
sary reading lamps, books, maga-
zines and few small accessories,
the room will have a certain amount
Of dignity. The use of fowered
chintz for slip covers and couch
covers and draperies will make a
colorful background which is pleas
ing. Most women have their own
small collection Of personal pos
sessions which they like to look at.
A picture or two, pair of candle
sticks, q few books or small deco
rative boxes, possibly a towering
plant are among the little things
which make room go" Any
woman who has had her own home
knows this, and brings her own lit
tie Lares and Penates right along
with her.
Naturally, roomers who do not ex-
pect to stay in one place very long
would not impose upon a landlady
by putting tacks in the wall to hang
pictures and then removing them
in week or two, taking out a
chunk of plaster with the tack.
Many house owners have solved this
problem by placing in the proper
space in the room a framed panel
Of fiber board. On this the roomer
may hang a group of pictures, or
tack up family photographs to her
hearts content. A new coat of
calsomine on the panel after each
occupant leaves will keep the tack
holes invisible. Or, better yet, the
panel may be covered with a strip
of the drapery chintz, which makes
an interesting repetition of design
on plain wall and the personal
pictures may be superimposed on

VI bllS al blClS.
In buying dresses, for example,
one authority suggests that you
follow this rule: the cost of the gar
ment should be, roughly, one third
of its value in material, findings
and trimmings; one third in work
manship and the remaining third
in fashion significance. Don't be
fooled by a flashy ornament which
may disguise shoddy fabric, for
you will find that often the
"plainest" dress is the finest one.
In judging workmanship in a
dress, inspect the seams, making
sure that they are wide, well-sewn
and won't pull out. Hens should
be deep enough for adjustment and
the dress should hang well from
the shoulders to insure it's COM
fort and good appearance. The
fabric should be on true straight or
true-bias lines to prevent sagging.
The number of new fabrics now
on the market has made it difficult
for the consumer to know just what
she Is getting for her money. Labels
are all-important here, for they
indicate the fabric content and
frequently, the processes to which
they have been exposed. You will
know, If you read the tags, whethe,
dress is wrinkle proof, processed
against shrinkage or designed to
resist fading. You also will know
whether a dress is all-wool or a
combination with rabbits hair, and
you'll be able to judge, accordingly
whether 1t will take hard wear or
must be handled with kid gloves.
Be sure to look at the tags. and
ask questions about the wearabjlitv
OF the garment you buy. No matter
now inexpensive a dress NAV be. II
Will be an extravaganza if 1t fades

OPPOSITION FROM THE SECRETARY

From Washington, Alaska Delegate Anthony j.
Dmond announces that because of opposition from
the Department of the Interior the House Committee
on Territories has been prevented from holding hear
ings on bill which would allow Alaskans to elect
their own governor.
Some time ago the Department of the Interior
was requested to submit report on the proposed
measure and instead of doing this made reply that
the enactment of such legislation would require a
change in the Organic Act of Alaska.
From here it is not clear how failure by the
Interior Department to report on the measure can
halt hearings the bill by the Committee on Terri
tories If the Department chooses to sidestep the
issue then there why the bill cannot be
considered by the committee on its own merits, and il
any information is desired, certainly Mr.. Dimond can
enlighten the committee any points regarding the
Territory
The fact that the Department of Interior has
readily approved similar bill which would allow
Puerto Rcans to elect their governor, while Alaska
is ignored with weak and unexplained excuse is a
sharp slap in the face to Aaskans.
