Good Posture
Is q Rarity
By HELEN FOLLETT

J TEACHERS Of physical educa-
tion say, with deep regret, that a
person with perfect posture is sell
dom seen. They add that, although
good heass. may exist in spite Of
poor posture, it is so only because
of the power Of accommodation to
abnormal conditions with which the
body is endowed.
Graceful carriage and graceful
movements impart more style and
beauty to the feminine shape than
all the expensive dry goods one can
buy. A smart frock is iuet SO much
material and nothing tHore If it is
carried by a girl whepermits her
chest to flatten, herJhoulders to
push forward, her tummy to pro-
trude. Let her assume the correct
pose and the frock displays the fine
lines that were put into it.
Debutante SLOUGH
The so-called debutante slouch is
regarded with dismay by anyone
. who has regard for body mechanics.
Physicians, attending young chill.
dren and girls Of the teen-age Pc
Rod, urge the need Of corrective ex-
ercises il posture is not what it
should be. When good results are
attained the weight of the body is
so distributed that no undue strain
is thrown upon any group OF mus
cles. Strong muscles, properly used,
help the spinal column 70 carry on
as the main support Of the body.
Happiness in life is the aim Of all,
hand one Of the chief needs is per-
feet health. Health is also necessary
for lcveliness Of person. It depends
upon obeying certain laws-good
eating habits, plenty Of sleep, fresh
air and exercise-and not least OF
these laws is perfect posture.
Often q cheerier outlook on life
can be gained. .simply by improving
the manper Of using the body. The
slumpedAttitude is that Of coward
ice and despair. The erect pose is
significant Of courage and energy.
DAnd don't forget that sitting pos
turs b important, too.

MARY lifted her head alertly at
her young brothers pronounce
ment. Then her eyes met mine, and
held them for instant before they
shifted to Roderick. l knew that she
was surreptitiously studying him,
as | was watching Junior, and that
the same fearsome questions were
in both of our hearts. What was
wrong up at their school? Why had
Roderick asked Mary for two hun
dred dollars? Why was Junior eva
sive in his answers to Dicky's ap-
parently casual queries concerning
Roderick? And, why was Roderick
so carefully forestalling even cas-
ual references to their school life.
Was he afraid that he might let
something slip?
That he had a secret, / was now
firmly convinced. But rush of COM
mon sense told me that there was
absolutely nothing could do about
it. Dicky was planning to put the
whole problem into the hands of his
friend, a secret agent, who would
travel up to the school, and without
betraying the boys would find out
the truth. We were both convinced
that very real peril confronted
them.
In few more minutes, Katha-
rine, fully equipped by Dicky with
knowledge and authority, would go
from the hotel in search of the man
"as deep as a well, and as safe as
a church," who was to 20 to the
school and unearth the secret. The

Christmas Company
Leave Time to Enjoy Your Guests

About the carving" said the
Chef. "If the man of the house is
not an expert, the turkey can be
carved in advance"
But Chef, everybody likes to see
that golden brown turkey. It's one
of the pleasures of Christmas"
Carve in Kitchen
"Ah, oui Madame, it is the piece
de resistance! So | would suggest
1t is brought to the table, nicely gar
nished on its platter, at the right
time. Everybody has a good look
and can admire the bird. Then it is
taken to side table, or back to the
kitchen and, without the audience,
the man of the house carves and
puts it on heated platter"
Meantime, the company is sit
ting at the table, waiting for the
turkey" l said. "To fill this inter-
val, l would suggest serving light
hot fish entree-perhaps ramekins
of escalloped oysters, crabmeat or
tuna fish,"
"Or a vegetable entree such as
asparagus with cheese sauce" sug-
gested the Chef.
"At the same time, oven-heated
rolls can be passed." l went on. "By
that time the turkey will re-appear,
carved and ready to serve, with the
stuffing. A stack of heated dinner
plates are placed at the left of the
host. He puts a suitable portion of
the turkey and stuffing on each
plate, and passes it to the person
seated at his right, who should
serve the vegetables. Then the
gravy is passed from one person
to another, each helping himself"

Extravaganza and excesses may

A child born on this day may be

"WHEN Christmas comes mos,
homemakers are at 'C'!"
The Chef laid down his rolling
pin. "You mean to say they are
travelling?"
what ! mean is company, cook
ing and carving-three C's-the
three problems that beset most
homemakers giving a real Christ
mas dinner"
"But, Madame"
"Don't misunderstood, Chef. We
welcome and look forward to COM
pany at Christmas dinner. But since
less than five percent of our home
makers have household help, they
don't have time to enjoy their
guests. Usually, after a hurried
greeting, the homemaker spends
most of her time in the kitchen, or
hopping up and down serving din
ner. Many a hostess suffers an at
tack of nerves or ends the day with
bad headache. And when it comes
to carving, that is usually serious
and grave ordeal, not only for the
carver, but for the onlooker."
Pleasure to Carve
"But, Madame, it is a pleasure
to carve a nice turkeyw
"Yes, it is for you, Chef; but
you're an expert. And besides, all
you do is cook the dinner. You don't
have to be the host as well, and also
wait on the table,"
"Oh, la la! Madame is in a mood
this morping!"
l laughed. "These are common
complaints hear from many home
makers. Now they're out of my sys-
tenn, let's see how the problems can
be solved"
"As the first step l would insist
that the company be on time and sit
down promptly at table. A good
dinner cannot wait" declared the
Chef.
"To be sure this is done, l would
suggest they be invited half an hour
early, which will take care of late
comers, and allow time for gay
greetings, to unbundle the young
sters, and to view the presents. AS
for the hostess enjoying her COM
pany, that's matter of good COM
nonsense management"
Plan in Advance
"Proper planning not only for the
day itself, but well in advance, will
solve the problem" l agreed. 1.-THE
house should be cleaned, table linen
pressed, silver polished and the best
dishes washed ready to use early
in the week. Supplies for the dinner
should be in the house not later than
the preceding morning. The turkey
should be cleaned and dressed, and
dessert, and as much Of the dinner
food as possible should be prepared.
Insist on reasonably early Christ
mas morning breakfast, and get the
family to tidy the rooms while you
start the turkey to roast and set
the table.
"Plan to have the meal all cooked
when the guests arrive. Turkey COW
cred and kept warm in the oven;
vegetables in double boilers; gravy
and soup in sauce pans ready to
reheat; the salad, relishes and hors
d'oeuvres in serving dishes chilling
in the refrigerator. Plan to serve
family style at the table as far as
possible. Appoint one person to clear
the table between courses while you
bring in the food, and ask that per-
son to scrape, rinse and stack the
dishes for each course this cuts
the dish washing problem and
leaves the working space clear in
the kitchen. And don't plan to serve
any foods that need last minute
preparation. Then any hostess can
really enjoy her own Christmas din
ner,"

CHINA CROPS
THREATENED
BY FLOOD

NANKING-Swollen by tor
rental rains and breaking
through some bikes along its
SOO-mile course between Chung
king and Marking, the Yangtze
river has already done heavy
damage to rice crops in Central
China.
The rising river, which is less
than two feet below the record
flood level in some places, car
ries with it the threat of dis
astrous food shortages this fall.
The floods have not yet reach
ed castrophic proportions but
government officials here are
perturbed by the possibilities.
They are counting particularly
on the Yantze Valleys fall rice
crop because of growing food
shortages resulting from the loss
of considerable rural territory
to the Communists and from the
disruption of communications.

Some Ominous Signs On 1.-THE Economic Front :.

Note also that General Electric, l.. c. Smith
Typewriter and number of other big industries
have announced a cut in the work week from five
to four days. This work week cut, they claim, is
because production has caught up with demand.
Of more immediate moment SO far as Montana is
concerned, mas been the closing of many small lum-
Der operations during the last couple of weeks in
the northwestern part of the state, capped by the
indefinite shutdown of operations by the Somers
Lumber Co. The Somers mill is of the two
largest mills in the state.
While the reasons are several for these various
shutdowns in Lincoln, Flathead, Lake and Sanders
counties, very important economic fact stands
out Every operation that closes down, large or
small, means large number of men out Of work
Although of these may be able to find

senators around to assure the necessary two
thirds vote?
Add to the post election 1T can't be
done" barrage of press and radio, some of
the realities surrounding important congress
sional committee charmanships. Because of
their poll tax-insured longtime tenure,
number of top committee spots will go to
southern reactionaries.
For example, in addition to Congressman
Doughton, Senator Maybank $50, because
of senate seniority rules will likely head up
the senate banking and currency committee.
This is the committee which would initiate
any price control legislation. His past rec
ord would not indicate any enthusiasm for
such desperately needed legislation.
Take also the powerful senate appropria-
lions committee. By seniority rules, dodder-
ing old Senator Mcclellan (Tenn.) will be it's
chairman If his were to be the deciding
vote on program of low-cost housing, it's
q pretty safe bet there'd be no low-cost hous-
ing, slum clearance projects etc.
Then again. a look at the likely chairman
of the senate agricultural committee is not
of such nature to bring comfort to small
farmers in instances where their interests
would be Numerically opposed to the big
fellows and the spectators. Slated for that
Craftsmanship is none other than Senator
InOmaS (OKla.) whose cn1eI cla1m TO lnIamy
was the discovery of his having flagrantly
violated all senate ethics by specializing in
cotton and grain while member of that i'm
portant committee.
The above are few of the realities of
the situation. Unless the people very vigil
lantly keep tabs on the congress, frequently
remind the Democratic majority that they
are expected to carry out their campaign
promises in reasonably satisfactory manner,
the danger is great that little will be legis-
lated for the lasting good of the entire nation.
