me lose weight faster than If
I did not take them? / do
not like to exercise although
there Is no reason why ] can
not"
A. You could not exercise
enough to make . great diff
ference in the weight you lose.
You must depend on calorie
co1nting for losing your extra
poundage, but exercise win
greatly speed the loss in inches
because 1t redistributes your
weight more attractively. With
exercise you have some con-
troll over the ratio of your
measurements, whereas with
calorie counting only. you SIM
ply lose all over and your
measurements remain in the
same ratio, only smaller.
Exercise is beneficial also be-
cause it is good insurance
against the fiabbiness many
women experience after losing
a great deal Of weight. How
ever. If there is any physical
reason which makes exercise
unsafe for you, gp ahead with
calorie counting. You will look
a lot better and be q lot
healthier without those extra
pounds.
Q. Can ! take your exer-
cises even If / have heart
trouble?"
A. Anyone with Heart trou-
BILE should follow his or her
doctors advice to the werd.
Anything else might be very
dangerous. In fact. every one
should have heart and blood

ginning exercises. However,

CHICAGO. Jan. George
Nelson, designer of the famed
bubble lamp, has created five
delightful modern bird houses
that are not quite like anything
you've ever seen.
Made for the Howard Miller
Clock Company. they were in
troduced at the International
Home Furnishings Market
here.
Mr.. Nelson has designed
eight weathervanes. and . bird
feeding unit, too. In the same
lighthearted vein.
AS eye catching as they are.
the question was posed that the
birds might not recognize their
modern home when they saw 1t.
Little Fear
There was little fear Of that.
we were told These birdhouses
are based on extensive research
into the habits Of the bird
world.
A sphere. an egg shape. and
one whose shape resembles a
top offer shelter for wrens; an
acorn-shaped house has been
devised for bluebirds, and a
bowl-shaped one for certain
kinds Of swallows.
Fashioned of heat resistant
thermoplastic, the houses come
in bright color combinations
OF blue, red or yellow with
white; or gray, blue or red
with yellow. Each shelter con-
sists OF two sections, held to-
gether by q snap-on band that
can be removed for house,
cleaning.
The houses are made to be
suspended from trees on
"codacord"-e durable plastic
coated cord.
Lamps Less Revolutionary
Nothing quite as original
has turned up In lamps, but
there are many interesting
variations on popular themes.
and q few new tricks to boot.
Lightolier has taken q leaf
from the automobile industry.
and has turned out many of
its lamps In two tones.
On view here. too. are two
new floor lamps designed by
Italy's Maurizio Tempestipi.
One Of them, q new re-
fiector design. has black
metal arms swinging out at
three levels from the shaft.
These arms rotate $50 degrees.
A black reflector shade, with
a wood-grained plastic handle,
Is attached to each arm by
q brass swivel, which adjusts
the shade up or down. or ro-
tates 1t o full $50 degrees.
Among the 40 other new
lamps here. designed by Ger
aid Thurston, Is q tree lamp
with three movable arms.
and switch incorporated in
the shade; and upright floor
lamps with telescoping shafts.
