It Says Here
By BOB HOPE NEW PEN-PAL

When heard that Bing Crosby would write a newspaper column, I nearly split an infinitive. Not only is he following in my footsteps, he's following in my files!
 I can't imagine what my pen pal will write about, though. He may be an expert on horse flesh, but who wants to read new recipes for glue? He could write about the joys of smoking pipe. When it come to huffing and puffing, he really knows his stuff .. . In fact, Bing was the inspiration for the tobacco pouch. But regardless of what he writes, his column is bound to end up rich mans rac- ing form.
 With all his experience, he should make an excellent column ist. For years now he's been writ ing copy for sandwich signs. No kidding, Bing will make a fine re- porter. .. Hes the only guy l know who can keep his ear to the ground without even stooping.
 Bing told me he plans to use a nom-de-plume, but I can't see why he has to be SO fancy Why can't he use a regular typewriter as do? Seriously, though, wish Bing all the luck with his new venture and just so he's get good start, sent him beautiful desk set A fountain pen that writes under wa ter, and 8 leaky diving helmet.

Posture Is Key
 To Lean Midrif
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Almost any posture-lazy woman can haul in her waistline two inch es by pulling up slack to shoulders and chest.
 Isn't that an incentive to straight en up? Yes?
 In pulling up the slack, frankly admit that you have a chest. Tuck in your abdomen. Swing your hips in. Then, in your mirror, standing side-view, examine the lean, taut line through your midriff.
 For tightening waist muscles, which further reduces measure mentS, there is no better exercise than squeezing in and holding them. This hardens and strengthens the contractile fibers.
 A good time to give muscles this squeeze play is when you walk. Then you can so easily make a routine of drawing in and releasing muscles in block-by block game.

 Sure enough, men need to be domesticated slowly - and they can stand lot of letting alone They don't really want perfect wives, who always manage, some how, to be right.
