THINGS THAT
INTEREST WOMEN


Every girl can be graceful. Stop
envying the movie stars and get to
work on yourselw, for they have
not one thing in the way of grace
and charm that you too cannot
have.
To acquire grace and charm one
must have a healthy system. Think
graceful and you will find that
you are graceful. When you sit,
learn to keep your hands still. Do
not toy with your necklace or beat
a rat-a-tat on the arm Of your
chair.
Take your daily dozens. Lazy
girls never won grace and charm.
Exercise keeps the muscles elias
tic, willing and ready to cooperate.
Include dancing in your ritual.
For dancing will help to eliminate
many posture faults, such as
slumping and folding your body
down when you sit. You will ma
turally stand straight with ease
and your figure faults will gradu-
ally disappear. The Jumps and
bumps will all be flattened out,
and on the whole your weight will
be more evenly distributed.
You no longerw ill walk with
that jerky motion, instead, your
every step will be ease and rhythm,
and you will be the envy Of all
eyes when you don your bathing
suit.
A stamped, addressed envelope
to me will bring you the hip SLIM
ming exercises.

Monroney Yarns
.Aqainst Politics
On Marshall Plan

The hope that the Marshall Plan
will not become ensnarled in party
politics and be made an issue in the
coming elections was expressed yes
terday by Representative Mike Mon
roney of Oklahoma in an address
before the Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club. Such an occurance, he
warned, would mean repetition OF
"the Wilson tragedy" which he said
resulted from political wranglings
over our foreign policy and laid the
foundations Of World War II.
Mr.. Monroney paid tribute to Re-
publican members of Congress who
have tried to keep politics out Of
the proposed plan and said he hoped
it would become an American pol
icy'' and not party policy
Political issues should stop at the
shore line" he said.
The speaker predicted that taxes
and imitation would be major politi-
cal issues during 1948.
Criticizing Republican proposals
for tax reductions Of between S and
s billion dollars, he asserted that
such a drastic cut would risk
throwing our financial security to
the four winds" On the other hand,
he said, President Truman did not
advocate tax reduction but pro-
posal that shifts the load from
individuals to corporations.
Emphasizing the importance Of
the imitation problem, Mr.. Mon
roney declared that If it is not solved
"it won't matter who wins the elec-
ton. Regardless of who is in power,
|if imitation continues, national
collapse will result" he said.
"If the Republicans are unwilling
to accept the Presidents program,
let them formulate a program OF
their own that will solve it" he
added. If not, they should agree
with Truman and leave it out OF
party politics"
Mr.. Monroney also urged the i'm
portance of universal military train
ing and declared that regardless OF
the fact that this is an election
year, the party in power should put
it to a vote"
In concluding his talk, Mr.. Mon
roney said, Gas America goes to the
polls on November 2, 1t will be as 1t
should be; a year of important
political decisions, based not on
oratory, but on careful study and
analysis" He added that the votes
of America will be accompanied by
the hopes of millions for world peace
based on the democratic leadership
of the United States. "Totalitarian-
ism isn't waiting passively for peo-
pie to believe in its beliefs" he said,
"and we cannot be passive, either.
We must fight for our belief in free
dom. and democracy"
In question and answer period
which followed his address, Mr..
Monroney was asked his opinion on
the proposed displaced persons bill.
He said that recruiting teams from
other nations already are taking the
younger and more skilled of the
displaced persons and expressed the
belief that we should recruit aliens
who can help us as much as we Can
help them instead of waiting to
admit them into this country later
on only through sympathy.
Mr.. Monroney was introduced by
Mrs. j. Borden Hartman, president
of the club.
