BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN

Weekend athletes and in
termittent figure molders do
themselves more harm than
good unless they take care to
begin slowly and build up
gradually.
The man or woman who
sits at a. desk all week long
and then dashes out to the
golf course or tennis court and
plays violently, far past thu
time when fatigue begins to
occur, is taking q real chance
with health and sometimes
even with life.
I have long felt that more
folks age prematurely and die
Of rocking-chair-itis than of
exercise, but restraint should
be used when exercising unless
you have been training regu-
larly all along. and few people
have done this.
Actually the importance OF
exercise Is coming more and
more into the limelight. The
stimulation Of circulation
which exercise brings viii as
sure you better nourished or
gans. and therefore healthier
ones.
Exercise also gives you bet
ter tone internally as we'll as
externally. When the abdom-
inal muscles are in fine tone
they hold organs in place so
that you avoid the internal
slump which can lead to
fatigue. backache and con-
stipation. Good posture is pos
sible and probable when your
muscles are not lax.
Figure-molding exercises will
not only increase figure SYM
metry. but will also increase
your energy and give you q
sense Of well being. However,

Keep an Eye on
Desses Sparrow

PARIS, Aug. 2 (P.-The
sparrow line. giving the girls
that bird-breasted look. was
introduced last night by Jean
Desses.
The deed is done with belts
and getaways beginning at
the bust and ending at the
lower back.
Sad Browns sobered the
whole show. Also present we're
blue-blacks and q range of
puppies from eggplant to vio-
lent violet.
As usual. Desses developed
his one idea--this time the
sparrow-to the point of bore
dom. See one dress and you've
seen the show.
Buttons are set high and
leave of under the bustline
to add to the high-in-front
waist. Wing flaps curve from
the underarm around to the
back. Skirts are fiat in front
and gathered behind in q
down-curving arch.
The whole effect rather re-

PARIS, Aug. 2 R.-Chris-

today, only a year after abol-

For after dark, Dior upends
his Y for huge parachute skirts

and Eastern turbans.
A baby's undershirt has been
borrowed as the model for
Dior's guimpes-short jackets

City To Replace
81 Trees Lost
Here Last Year

Keeping a watchful eye on the
city's trees and lawns, parks and
Fairgrounds, always with an eye
for beauty, the Forestry Division
Of the Engineering Department
of the city keeps busy the year
round.
A new problem last year was
the appearance Of a red algae on
the lake in Forest Hill Park. After
scveraI experiments, a series of
spraying corrected the disturbance.
The Dutch Elm disease took a
toll of So trees, 81 of which were
on city property. Twenty-Five trees
were given surgery or other treat
ments, and 80 fell before storm or
automobile. This years program
includes the replacing of these
trees. In addition last year there
were 1852 sprayings of trees, in
cluding two for each elm tree.
One hundred shrubs add new
beauty to the spillway at the Forest
Hill Park lake while lawn and
shrubbery at the incinerator plant
and in Pattison Park as the new
Superior rd. playground came in
for special attention.
Playground figures for the year
reveal the issuance of 324 season
tennis permits, 1885 baseball
diamonds permits and 43,651
swimming pool attendances. There
were five skating days at the
park lake.

1t Could Happen
In Any District

Do you think it can't happen in
your neighborhood Are you sure
it won't? On Thursday, February
18th at 500 pm. in the Shaw High
Cardinal Nest the PTA is bringing
Mr.. Kermit Neely of Ward 20 of
the Cleveland City Council to dis
cuss keeping a home and family
in an inner-city area" a very per-
tinent topic to any parent-teacher
group. Most of us have read and
heard of some things happening in
the Hough Area but here is our
chance to learn first-hand just
what is being done now and the
obstacles encountered.
Mr.. Neely is a comparatively
young man in the light of his ac-
tual service on the city council but
his active interest in the Hough
Area is of many years standing.
He was born and educated in that
section and went on to see service
on the Area Council as chairman of
various committees of the cleanup
movement. Because of his expert
ence his message will have mean
ing and interest for all parents ana
officials of East Cleve' land.
