This week I am giving you a
few Of the aqua resistance exer-
cises which Robert Read of Cali
fornia has been working with. and
has now gathered together in a
booklet. The value Of exercise
taken in water has been we'll
demonstrated in the sport of
swimming and in corrective work
in the rehabilitation of polio cases.
Your doctor might think these are
fine for you even when he will not
allow other exercises. Check with
him.
Today's exercise Is for the
shoulders, chest, back and arms.
Stand in the water. which Is
shoulder high. Place one foot
forward in order to help you main
tain your balance. Raise both
arms level with the water. Bend
the elbows, bringing the hands,
open fiat. back to the chest and
then push against the water as
yUu GAtS1lu t1lClll dSdul. TO1 val Il
alton, you can pull one hand back
as you extend the other.
Also. you can separate the hands
widely at the start and bring the
hands close together when they
push forward. This variation will
give special work to the chest
muscles.
If you start this exercise with
your arms shoulder width apart
there is concentration on the upper
arm muscles. When done In the
wide position and with the hands
close together when they push
forward, you will find that the
chest muscles do special work. III
you concentrate on the pulling
back movement this exercise is
helpful in overcoming round
shoulders. So. you have shoulder
exercise and arm and chest toning
exercises. This will help the bust
line out.

the teacher next door. 50 did the
nurse when she came in to inspect
them. The glow lasted all day
and the work went merrily for
ward.
Glass pride, when 1t is wisely
fostered, is a great help to the
children individually, and to their
teacher. It must. however. be
undertaken with wisdom. Attend
ance, punctuality often rest on
circumstances beyond the control
of the children. so they must not
become fetish. A successful
result in tests is something to
cheer for, an added star to the
galaxy; but it is not to be made
a matter of life and death. The
wise teacher builds up the spirit
Of the class, looks ahead to prevent
unhappy occurrences. plans for
success and heaps on the praise
for good deeds.
We must be careful about using
the power Of class opinion to dis
cipline a fellow classmate. Only
when it Is plain to the teacher
that the pupil is solely responsible
for a mistake. for negligence, for
misbehavior will the class be called
on to bring down Judgment upon
him. Otherwise this useful force
may be abused. The profession
ally trained teacher will under
stand that and be on guard against
1t. and no other sort Of teacher
should ibe In charge Of children
Of any kgo.

from correspondents over there,

the Paris imports brought to
Washington by Elizabeth Fairall
and Maena Hayden for two of
Washington's leading department
stores.
COPIES Of these designs will not
be on the market right away;
however. by June 1t is expected
Washington women will. be able
to purchase most Of them.
Both Miss Fairall and Miss
Hayden agree that the Paris col
lections continue to be exciting.
Miss Hayden also brought back
quite few things from London.
London, she feels. this season has
done q remarkable job of creating
softer looking clothes, yet in keep
ing with their excellent flair for
tailoring.

rector Of the house of Jean Patou,
who said that real couturiers
should stay in Paris and not
dabble in the American mass pro-

replied. 'The real couturier Gre
ates designs Of international value.
He should be interested in seeing
that those designs are adapted for
customers who appreciate them
but cannot afford Paris prices"
It is reported that Rita Hay
worth will do some shopping at
Balenctaga's. He's the designer
who showed the slim skirt with
the double panels flowing from
the waistline as far back as two
years ago. Miss Hayworth
has already ordered a number of
models from Jacques Faith. {.

Simons Poultry Co.
Now let's see If we can get this
stal ted without pun-the lowest
form of humor, according to
Mark Twain. Henry Simons pre-
sides over stand 410 in Center
Market City, and If you'd like to
know anything about poultry and
game, just ask Henry.
A speciality of this stand is
filet of chicken breast. This ten
der white meat is completely
boned, and how good it tastes
when prepared in the following
manner: Make small patties of
dressing, fold filets of chicken
breast over the patties, and tuck
in around the dressing. Bake In
the oven, and invite the family
in for a super-special Sunday
dinner.
WE'VE MENTIONED italian
and Greek specialties that you'll
find in the Market; now let us
tell you about very special Rus
sian dish. Have you ever tried
breast of chicken, prepared Kiev
style? Once in q while, when
we want to serve a special dinner,
we have Chicken Kiev. Our IA
vorite recipe comes from Princess
Alexandra Kropotkin's How To
Cook and Eat in Russian. Qnci-
dentally, that title has always
worried us, as We find 1t bit
difficult to imagine a literal inter-
probation of the title. 1t seems
to us that you can only speak
in Russian, but maybe we're
stretching a pointJ
Now-before giving you the
recipe, and before we're investi-
gated, let us explain that this is
a WHITE Russian dish. Here
1t is:
Breast Of Chicken. Kiev
8 boned chicken breasts.
Il III sweet blltter.
l egg.
Fine bread crumbs.
Salt, pepper.
Pound chicken breasts very
thin and fiat. Form small rolls
Of butter about 2 inches long And
u inch thick. Chill butter rolls
In water with ice until 1t Is hard.
Take up quickly, wipe dry, and
place l roll of butter on each
flattened breast of chicken. Roll
chicken around butter. Try to
give each little rolled-up parcel
q neat oval shape. Skewer firmly
with wooden toothpicks.
Dilute egg with a little water.
Roll the rolled-up chicken breasts
in bread crumbs. Dip in egg. |
Roll again in bread crumbs. Fry |
golden brown In plenty Of hot
butter. Drain and place In hot
oven for minutes. Serve at |
once. Mushroom sauce makes
this dish even more delectable!

they can find Chinese ring-neck
pheasants; gray partridges. i'm
ported from England; mallard |

delicacies because the foreign
varieties are larger than domestic

Henry says that Washington

HELPFUL HINTS.

(Fron Mrs. T. H. S.. Washington
To Mrs. c. w. NJ. Washington.
My cake icing is always thick and
creamy, as I start separating the
eggs after the sirup is through
cooking. I set it aside to partially
cool while beating the egg whites
and I pour the sirup into the egg
whites very slowly, and do not
spread 1t on cake until it Is very
thick. Sometimes I have to leave
it awhile and then beat 1t again,
and it stands up like marshmallow,
and never a hard crust. The
room should be warm.
Repair on dishwasher. To the
lady who calls the service man
when seeds or other things get in
the machine, I used to call him.
too, until a kind young man told
me to just remove the dish racks,
take a screw driver and unscrew
the two plates at the bottom OF the
machine. Remove the seeds. or
what have you, and then screw the
plates back in place. But be sure
they are in right.
Helpful suggestion: I used to
have a time unscrewing vinegar or
oil bottles, until I used my old
fashioned nut cracker to unscrew
them, now I keep 1t in my knife
box.

EOD Workers Paid
For Suggestions

LACARNE-Two Port Clinton
and two Oak Harbor workers at
Erie Ordnance Depot had the good
luck to see their submitted sug-
gestions adopted during May.
Three received cash awards and
one q letter of commendation.
Awards will be presented June 15.
Government checks will be given
Herbert Fehr, Oak Harbor, and
Howard Ostling and Harold Sper-
Der, Port Clinton. Clyde Ryder,
Oak Harbor, received the letter Of
commentator.
Mr.. Fehr will receive $40 for
his suggestion that an especially
designed raw materials handling
scoop be used in unloading rail
road cars, and by its adoption,
Uncle Sam is saved almost $1,000
year.
A $25 cash award will be given
Mr.. Ostling who advised the con-
struction Of needed dry chem
ical feeder with attached syntron
vibrator. The savings is estimat-
ed at $500.
As it was impossible to estimate
the annual savings on Mr.. Sper-
ber's two suggestions, the adop-
ton of which speed up the test
ing of fuze settlers ON antiaircraft
weapons, he, was paid $40 each
and both were forwarded to the
Office of the Chief of Ordnance
for more widespread consideration,
and possible remuneration for the
EOD worker.
A letter of c6nmendation was
sent to Mr.. Ryder for his origi-
nation of training device to be
used in EOD's optical repair shop,
This suggestion was also forward
ed to the Office of the Chief of
Ordnance for further considera-
tion.

Zeller Murder
Is Confessed

Continued from Page II
one saw the two men leave tcgeth-
er, however.
After several hours of question
ing, Pietschman signed full con-
fession when confronted with evi-
dence. He claimed the Danbury
man had made advances, and that
an argument followed. Pietscs-
man said he jumped from Zeller's
car, pulled rs caliber German
Ortgies automatic pistol from his
pocket and shot Zeller.
Chief Thorn said Pietschman
stated the gun had a faulty safety
catch, but he did not elaborate on
whether or not he intended to
shoot Zeller.
In his confession, Pietschman
told police that Zeller had posed as
a stranger in a Sandusky bar and
asked to be shown the city.
Pietschman said he agreed and
drove his own car home, taking
the keys into the house and pick
ing up the pistol.
After getting in Zeller's car,
Pietschman said they drove around
Sandusky for awhile and then Eel
ler drove to the scene of the slay-
ing along the Sandusky water
front. The murder took place
about 1920 Wednesday morning,
| May 18.
After shooting Zeller, Pietsch-
man said he ran home and hid
the pistol, but two days later he
said he took the gun and threw
it into the Battery Park sludge
basin.
Two Sandusky firemen Saturday
afternoon used graphing hooks
to retrieve the weapon. The gun
was taken to Toledo for ballistics
examination to determine if the
cartridge and slug came from this
gun.
Pietschman formerly had work
ed at the Lyman Boat Works in
Sandusky but had been unemploy-
ed for several weeks. Chief Thorn
said he had never been in serious
trouble but had appeared before
juvenile authorities on minor
charges. Zeller had never been
| mixed up in any trouble.
Chief Thorn complimented Port
Clinton's Police Chief Jack Shelf
fer, Marblehead Marshal Dorko,
and the Toledo police department
for their aid in the case. Pietsch-
man had been questioned earlier
last week by Sandusky police, but
at that time he gave no indication
of guilt.
