WhyGrow
Old?
By Josebhine Lovman

BY Josephine Lovman
If women knew how much figure
improvement can be accomplished
by exercise fear they would not
get their housework done, so I sup
pose 1t is just as well they don't!
For instance, the inner side of the
upper leg becomes fiabby early in
life unless steps; are taken to avoid
it. Much can be done to sidestep
this condition or to improve it.
When women wear play clothes.
shorts or swim suits this unattrac-
tive leg line is much in evidence.
The following exercise is splendid
for the inner leg. Take four long
steps forward. Then bounce up and
down in place four times, bending
the knees about third of the way
down. Continue.
Another one: Lie on the floor on
your back with your legs straight
and your arms resting on the floor
at your sides. Lift the legs half way
upward with stiff knees. Swing the
legs apart as far as comfortable.
Swing them together. Continue
separating them and bringing them
together. When tired, rest and then
repeat.
Some women wish to fill out con-
tour on the upper inner leg because
they have an upper leg "bcwlegged"
appearance. This exercise will aid
you in frming and in building con-
tour on the upper inner leg. Sit on
the floor with your legs separated.
Place brick or some other weight
on the inside of your left foot. Lie
down. Now push the brick along
the floor until it touches your right
foot. Keep the knees stiff. Sepa-
rate the legs, sit up, and again place
the brick on the inside of the left
foot. Lie down. Push the brick to-
ward the right foot. Continue for a
while and then place the brick on
the inside of the right foot and push
| it along the floor until it touches the
left foot
Lying down and sitting up will
give your stomach and waistline a
workout while the brick laying will
help the inner leg line.

the tangled hair; the joy of water
that resists and buoys and caresses
the happy young body swimming in
the cool dawn of mountain morn
ing. These experiences are init
macies with Mother Nature that
build the spiritual values at the
base of sound character.
Remember that good camp is a
place where children are busy at
worthwhile things; a place where
they face Nature and learn her
ways; a place that inspires children
to work and pray, understanding
that work well done is the best OF
all prayers.

meals for the rest of the family.
You'll save lot of time this way.
I had baby's nipples, diapers, boric
acid solution and other foods easily
accessible in a bag, the bucket of
ice, containing the formula, cov-
cred with lots of newspaper-the ice
doesn't melt so fast this way.
When I made the long trip, I did
most of the driving, as my mother
was along to take care of the baby.
We have 5-passenger coupe and
in the back seat I had blankets piled
high, even with the top of the back
of the front seat, thus making it
unnecessary to hold the baby at
each bottle feeding time My daugh-
ter slept on the blankets. If you
drive, you could change off with
your husband, thereby he'd relax
and you could, too. 1t would be a
change for both of you. I suggest
a car seat attachment for the 49,
months-old youngster-easier for all
of you.
Another thing, In regard to water
for the children. Start out with
plenty of drinking water they're
accustomed to and as you travel
gradually mix the sterilized water
from different parts of the country
with that you have on hand. That
way, there will be no sudden change
in water for the children, and no
dysentery will result as sometimes
happens in change of water for
young children. I followed this
plan and everything turned out
all right.
Am sure you'll find that the chill
dren will sleep quite a bit en- route
my little girl did, and perhaps you
can snatch a few winks at the same
time.
AS you've probably noticed, I
mention the tourist camp accom-
modationS-in my opinion it's much
cooler, sanitary and more private. I
tried both on the long trip and
found tourist camps much better.
We always asked for double cabin
accommodations. I suggest that to
get overnight places, stop early.
That way, you'll all get a chance to
relax and when and if the baby
wakes earlier in the morning, you
can get an earlier start again. BY
all means, get the baby fed imme-
diately on getting up. Then you're
"all set" to have your own breakfast
and be on the road again.

WAX FOOD MODELS?
From Mrs. r. B. M, Jr,
Washington.)
So many people have found help
in the columns Of the RICH, I am
wondering If one of your readers
could help me out with some in
formation. Do you know of any
place that makes wax models of
food (portions of cooked or raw
foods for servings, or where may
obtain directions for making them?
These models are to be used for dis
play purposes in a project setting
up sample meals, to indicate recon-
mended menus. In this instance
using real foods would not be prac-
ticable, nor would it be in line with
the present-day effort to save all
food possible. Therefore, models are
desired. Any information which
may be given as to obtaining or
making same will be much appre-
ciated.
CLASSES AVAILABLE?
From Mrs. G. B. S., WdShington.)
Can you tell me where in WASH
ington classes are held in bridge,
creative writing and interior deco
rating?
INFORMATION WANTED?
From Mrs. w. G. M, Silper SPRING.
Am interested in obtaining indi-
vidual membership for my family
in the Blue Cross disqualification
Group, but have been unable to get
any information as to how such a
membership might be obtained. Can
some reader supply me with the
address of either the national head
quarters or local representative?
Would also appreciate any other in
formation about this plan. We are
not eligible for any group plan.

TEACHING UNSELFISHNESS?
From Mrs. L. w., .Wdshington.)
Iwould like to ask for advice from
other mothers on how to teach my
17-month- son to be unselfish.
At Sunday school he says nothing
when a toy is taken from him, but
if a child takes one Of his own per-
sonal toys he slaps at the child. He
is also very jealous of his daddy's
attentions to me. We know others
must have confronted this problem
and solved it and would appreciate
your advice.
Recently my son threw a fit every
time I said Lets go to bed" Now
I say Lets read" and he scrambles
upstairs without fuss. Then fol-
lows a period that is necessary in
every child life. We color with
crayons, build blocks, and read
books. He kisses each toy goodnight
and bows his head as I say his
prayers for him. He goes to sleep
a happy baby and awakens the same
way. So say, mothers, your house
will never know if it is not kept
spotless, but your child will know
if he is neglected.

70 Men Draft Plans
For Military Force
To Ba|k Aggression
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April lin quiet
penthouse atop a midtown hotel, 20
men are drafting plans for a mill
tary force which ultimately may be
the most powerful the world has
ever seen.
These experts, moving with all the
caution and secrecy their job de-
mands, compose the Military Staff
Committee OF the United Nations.
AS the military organ of the Sc
curlty Council, the committee men,
bers make up a general staff for the
worlds international police force
whose task will be to prevent and,
If need be, suppress aggression.
In the words of the U. N. Charter,
their duty is to "advise and assist
the Security Council on all ques-
tions relating to the Security Coun-
ellis military requirements for the
maintenance of international peace
and security. the employment and
command of forces at its disposal,
the regulation of armaments, and
possible disarmament.
An indication of the heavy re-
sponsibility eventually to 60 to this
small group can be seen in the char
ter provisions giving the Security
Council full power TO use armed
force in cases where such measures
as severance of diplomatic relations,
economic relations and communica-
tions have failed.

To Be Moved 10 Reich
To Save Time, Money
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, April 11.-Remaining
defendants charged with maltreat-
ing American soldiers in the stock
ade at Lichfield, England, during
the war will be court-martialed at
Bad Nauheim, Germany, the Army
has announced, in order to save
time and money.
Final arrangements for the trans

men and eight officers from London
to Bad Nauheim will be completed

announced last night. The trial of
Sergt. James NJ Jones of Muskogee,
Okla, now in progress in London,
will be completed here.
Gen. Belts, representing the COM
manding general of American forces
in Europe, came to London when
Gen. Eisenhower ordered a full in
vestigation of the case following
charges by Capt. Earl J. Carroll,
former assistant prosecutor, that a
deliberate attempt was being made
to whitewash higher officers.

For the deliberations to date most
of them have delegated top advisers

forces; 1t. Gen. M. B. Ridgway,

Speculation naturally centers
around the size of this gigantic mill
tary force and how much the 81
member nations each will contrib

Most guesses SO far have leaned to
the theory that the United States
will contribute heavily in air and
sea units, with perhaps the largest
share of the ground forces being
drawn from Russia.
