Why
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Physical exercise is splendid
medicine for nervous tensions and
fatigue which have been produced
by mental work. 1t is even help
full when you find yourself at
tackled by a fit of worry!
After sitting at q desk all day
long or after a day of tensions, you
will feel physically tired and you
will not want to exercise. How
ever, if you make yourself go
ahead, you will be amazed at the
way your sensation of WEAKNESS
will drop away.
It makes us feel fine to stretch
our muscles, to whip up circula-
ton and increase and deepen our
breathing. You cannot worry too
much when you are doing deep
knee bends or bending your knees
up to your stomach. A brisk walk
is very helpful in banishing the
blues. This does the same thing
more formal exercise does but it
helps you get out of yourself to
bodily remove yourself from your
own familiar surroundings.
Leave your worry at home, walk
briskly. breathe deeply, observe
humanity about you, and likely
the peace of nature will settle
upon you and soothe your troubled
spirit. When you return home
you will find that things do not
look nearly so badly.
There are q few simple exercises
which are most relaxing. Try this
one: Stand tall. Let your head and
trunk and arms drop forward
(bending at the waist. Do this in
rag-doll fashion. Now raise your
trunk and move your arms side
ward. shoulder height, palms
toward the ceiling. AS you raise
your trunk breathe in deeply, fill
ing the lungs with fresh air. Con-
tinue bending and raising the
trunk. Exhale as you flop for
ward. Be certain to have the
windows open when you do this
exercise. 1t will relieve you of
tensions.

IDEAL VACATION

Said one speaker in an intro
ductory speech Of welcome at the
Summer Institute of Social Pro-
gress at Wellesley College open
ing its session on July l: An
ideal vacation consists of a COM
plete change, mental stimulation,
a beautiful background and some
lasting memorial" Many of our
readers will be taking vacations
for the next three months, Many
are in a quandary, wondering
what kind of vacation to give
themselves. May I suggest you
try to make yours ideal by the
yardstick given by the Wellesley
College speaker.
A complete change is a must
in our modern society, which de-
manded more and more speciality
lsbors. In an agricultural age
ones powers were exercised. The
whole man came into play. Not
so now. Even lowly job often
makes demands for s pecialty
knowled 6 e and mountainous
repetition of the same thing day
in and day out. After awhile
ones job becomes boresome. The
grind, the worry of it drains ones
powers more than the work it.
self. The cure for this in part is
a vacation to look to; and a COM
plete change when acation
comes. All worries, problems OF
she old job should be crowded
out of new duties. The capacity
to change readily from one tc
another mode Of life will add
years to your life.
Mental quickening during ones
vacation is the chief measure tc
rest and renew you, When your
body is tired, shut off all ACTIVE
ties, even have your breakfast in
bed, if you can afford this luxury
But resting the mind demands q
different technique. You must
find some other engaging labor
for it. If you've been teaching,

Laura Huxtable Porter, noted
for artistic interpretations of

will speak on the ministry Of
Christ. DR.. Manucher Javid Of
Teheran, Iran, who is doing post

pital, will portray the dramatic
parallel of the Bah.
Martyred one hundred years
ago in the city of Tabtiz, and
likened by many to John the
Baptist, who served as herald
for Christ, Baha'iS declare the
Bah is in reality a twin prophet
with Baha'u'llah. He founded
the Babi Faith and left his writ
ingS and his book, the Persian
"Bayan" to guide his followers
until such time as the one
Whom God will make manifest
should declare himself lin 1859
The one parallel in all re-

John Hartman, writing for the

closed some Of the reasons why.
Mr.. Hartman writes that Asia
and her people are in a bad way.
Economy and food crops are fall
ing, people are starving. At least
700 million Asiatics will Join
Russia unless we win them first.
That would mean 700 million

~
ASIATIC LEADERS, including
those of China and Japan have
volunteered to aid the Western
Powers. China. in fact, has
fought the longest war against
Communist aggression. There are
hardly any Communists in Africa.
The largest and most loyal
minority group in America are
the Tan Yanks. 1t all adds up to
the fact that colored peoples can
lead the Western Powers to vic
tory in any future war as they
did in the two past wars.
