WhyGroW
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

I wonder if there are any hu-
man beings who are not naturally
lazy. 7 see some who seem to be
extremely zippy and on the &C
every minute. However, most OF
us lesser mortals have to whip
ourselves on to hard work, to get
ting the task done, at least part
of the time.
Women usually put off dieting
until they cannot stand the
pounds any longer and procrasti-
nate about exercise until the
bulges truly annoy them. In case
you are not one of those who
spring out of bed with war
whoop and jig, let me help you
You can awaken slowly and dc
your exercises before ever putting
a foot on the floor.
There are splendid exercises you
can do before arising. In the
first place, always stretch and
twist. This is the waking up part
Then start in with very easy
simple exercises such as lying or
your back and raising first the
right and then the left arm, and
letting each one flop back to the
bed. Next bend the right knee
close to the abdomen and then
let it flop back to the bed. Then
the left, and alternate.
1t is important that you dc
these very simple exercises before
attempting the more strenuous
ones. Many women make the
mistake of jumping into exercises
when they first get up, before they
have a warming-up period, such
as walking about the room. This
is hard on the heart. You should
work up gradually to more siren
uous exercises.
After the first ones described
above do this one. Lie on you1
back. Grasp the head board Oh
mattress with your hands. Raise
both legs upward as high as pos
sible, stiff knees. Lower slowly tt
the bed. If this is too difficult al
first, raise one leg at a time.
The following exercise must BIZ
done on the bed and is splendid
for the thighs and inner leg. Lie
on your left side on the edge Of
the bed. Hold onto the bed with
your hands. Bend the lower, OF
left leg, part way. Let the top
or right leg, hang down toward
the floor. Keep the right knee
stiff as you raise that leg upward
and then lower it as far towarc
the floor as you can. Continue
raising and lowering. After 8
time turn onto your right side anc
raise and lower the left leg.
If you would like to have
my routine of bed exercises fol
lazy you, send a stamped, self.
addressed envelope with your re.

When a child does wrong he
knows it after the event. Before
that he was so enthralled with his
idea, so strongly tempted, or so
ignorant, that he could not see
clearly. But once he acted his
mind cleared. The thing was done
and the result clear and he knew
he was wrong.
No intelligent child is happy in
the knowledge of having made a
mistake and earned the disap-
proval of his parents. his family
and his teachers. He feels miser-
able. He wishes he had not done
it and there buds in his mind the
idea that it would be better not
to do it again. He needs to be
strengthened in that idea. That
is the heart of all the disap-
prevail and all the instructions
We must see to it that what we
say, what our attitude implies, will
strengthen that CLEAN of intelli-
gence in the child's thought.
Before saying anything at all
the teacher or parent should
clear his thoughts of anger, fear,
or defeat, of any feeling of per-
sonal injury. The child has in
Ijured himself more than anybody
else through his mistaken be-
havior and our purpose is to bind
up his wounds, try to help him heal
them so they leave no mental
scars. Our minds then, free of
any personal affront, can establish
communion with the child's fright
ened mind and convey a message
Iof hope, of encouragement and
faith. We can show the child a
way to better things. We can let
him see that he has another
chance to make good.
Children do strange things,
things that battle their elders.
But bit of study usually diScloses
the underlying cause; little en-
couragement mixed with just
enough sympathy to convey under
standing. often sets things right.
The girls in the ninth grade
were giving a party for their
mothers. They worked hard at

Catholics Ban Bingo
In Chicago Churches

CHICAGO, Aug. IT (CDN -
Bingo and other gambling have
been ordered stopped at carnivals
and other benefit parties of Cath
ollc churches here. the Chicago
Daily News has learned.
Parish committees, it also was
learned, have been told the sale
OF liquor, beer or wine will not be
permitted at church affairs. The
stand against gambling and
liquor was made known to pastors
in special communication from
Cardinal Stritch.
The Cardinal and the church
have never given approval to the
gambling and drinking.
For many years, however games
OF chance at carnivals and bene-
fits have been a popular source
OF money for charity and other
parish work.
The communication to the pas
tors said that all gambling at
benefit programs is condemned.
This would put an end to all
slot machines and games OF
chance at the benefits.
Committee members who were
told of the new order said it was
directed to the pastors and that
all church groups will obey it.

SANTIAGO, Chile.-Prices rival
the mountain peaks of the Andes,
newspapers headline war abroad
and domestic imitation, but 1850
1851 automobiles crowd Santiago
streets, and downtown stores dis
play luxury goods.
The average white-collar man
is unhappy about the whole thing
He gets a raise every year, but
prices increase just a bit more
every few months, and he can't
see a way out, to some measure
of security for himself and his
family.
However, in spite of complaints
people seem to manage to live anc
have fun. For instance. at
O'Clock, when the first of three
shows in most movie theaters is
over, crowds emerge from the pic
ture houses. The casino at the
lneighboring Garden City" OF
Vlna Gel Mar, open during the
spring-summer season, and the
only place in the country where
gambling is legal, is always full o1
people, regardless of the difficult
ties in getting in. Both race
tracks in Santiago, and the one
in Vina del Mar, hold crowds o1
racing enthusiasts every Sunday
Where do people get the money
for this? A good many of them
have discovered that a routine g.
Ihours-a-day job does not cover
their financial needs. The rent o1
a tWo-room house is usually as
high as 5000 pesos: mems suits
cost around 1000 pesos. anc
