Ugly, FlabbY Arm

/. Raise your arms for
ward, shoulder HEIGHT, elbows
bent. Press the fist of ose
hand into the palm Of the
other. Press hard. Continue,
alternating. This should be
done slowly, holding the
pressure each time for as
long AS comfortable.
2. This is one of the very
best. Raise your left arm
sideward, shoulder height.
Place your left hand on some
piece Of furniture which is
a little higher than shoulder
height. Keep the elbow stiff
as you press down hard to-
ward the floor. Relax and re-
peat several times.
Now place your right hand
on the same object and do
the same thing. AS in the first
exercise the important part
is the maintained pressure.

The fabby upper arm is
one Of the mainof1gure defects
which women must battle
from middle age on.
For this reason I write
about 1t fairly often.
Even If the arm is the right
size, flabbiness is unattrac-
tive. Lax muscles play their
part and women often have
this condition after a loss of
many pounds too rapidly and
without accompanying exer-
else.
When one is overweight
the skin actually becomes
stretched and must be given
time to shrink to normal
proportions, or as nearly nor
NAL as possible.
Exercise is a wonderfully
effective corrective measure.
Preventive Measures
Today, however, I want to
give you some exercises which
should be taken as preventive
measures. But if you already
have f1abby upper arms these
will greatly improve the Sit
uation.

MOSCOW, July 31.-A new

Girls
Nation
Closes

Girls Nation wound up its
18th annual meeting at
American University yestep-
day with passage of a group
of resolutions and a speech
by Mrs. Charles w. Gum,
president of the American
Legion Auxiliary.
1t is the auxiliary which
sponsors the annual Girls
Nation. which brings two
girls here from each state,
the District of Columbia and
the Panama Canal Zone.
The resolutions called for:
requiring all banks to be-
long to the federal reserve
system, merging of the space
research facilities of the
three armed service branch
es, and creation of a Girls
Nation flag.
A resolution favoring fed
eral aid to education was
hotly argued pro and con.
but no vote was taken be-
cause the argument contin-
ued until the time for reso-
lutionS had elapsed.
A resolution was adopted
calling for Congress to APP
propriate $18 million a year
to send a Great White Fleet
around the world spreading
good will. But it was pocket
vetoed" by the elected presi-
dent Of Girls Nation, Miss
Wallis Jean Wilde, on the
ground that "this had gone
out with the era of the Big
Stick and Theodore Roose-
Welt" and sending food or
medical supplies would be
more practical today.
The girls were returning to
their homes this morning.

party officials who fail to see
that handing out medals to
fecund mothers has great
political significance and
Strengthens ties betwee n
elected officials and the pop
ulace at large"
Some officials in Kemerovo
Province, charges the decree,
are so lax they don't even
tote up the number of moth
ers who ought to be receiving
government allowances.
The decree goes on, how
ever, to hint darkly that
something even grosser than
slothfulness and lack of po-
litical savvy may be involved,
when local executive coun-
ellis keep books on awards
to mothers of large families.
although in fact these awards
are not handed out"
AS a result, there were
1,04l wronged mothers in
Kemerovo Province on April
of this year.
The Soviet heraldic roster
includes three types of
motherhood medals.
For mothers of five chill
dren, there's the order of
maternal glory
For mothers of seven,-
the motherhood medal"
Loftiest of all, however, is
the title mother heroine of
the Soviet Union" 1t is
awarded to women with 10
or more surviving children.
AS of January l, 1857, lat
est date for which figures are
available, there were $4,000
mother heroines" in the
Soviet Union.
There is more in it than
glory for patriotic mothers
who do their duty by their
homeland.
Expected Drop
In addition to a graduated
monthly allowance to fam
lilies of four or more c:,l-
dren, the Soviet State pays
its mothers a lump sum of

tai in getting a. member of the

Among other projects he had
a hand in was the location of a

Hirst Wrote
Plea forMore
Rood Funds

Fairfax County Delegate
Omer Hirst yesterday called for
increased State funds for Viz
GINA highway improvements.
Mr.. Hirst made his plea
known in a letter to State Sena-
tor Harry F. Byrd, jr. A story
in The Star yesterday incor-
rectly stated that the letter was
from Arlington State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick instead Of
Mr.. Hirst.
In the letter. Mr.. Hirst took
issue with warning from Sena-
tor Byrd that Virginia should
be careful about moving too
swiftly with the Federal inter-
state highway program. Sena-
tor Bryd said the Federal pro-
gram threatened to deplete
funds needed for improvements
on State roads.
Mr.. Hirst observed In his
letter that the interstate sys-
tenn is vital to the State If
1t hopes to compete for met
Irepolitan markets. He pointed
out that Interstate Route Sc.
Tor instance, would be of great
Importance to the people of
the Shenandoah Valley
Rather than rob Peter to
pay Paul, would it not be bet
ter to make more money i'm
mediately available to the
highway department in order
that Virginia may meet all of
the road needs Of all of its
people at the earliest possible
date?' Mr.. Hirst asked TT
is obvious that we either pay
more or go less. and in these
days Of intense agricultural
and commercial competition he
who goes less is lost"

the Industrial Finance Act. II
also would extend the maxi
mum loan to $4,000 with the
final $1,000 at the 6 per cent
rate.
Another provision allows a
service charge maximum to be
increased from $40 to $50.
The result is that on q $3.50
loan the true annual rate Of
return to a lender on a 12-
month loan would be 26.5 per
cent compared with the present
1855 per cent.
A House bill that would have
established q new loan COM
pany classification covering
loans no to $3.50 would have
provided q return Of 26.3 per
cent.
The bill was rejected unani-
mously by the House Ways and
Means Committee last Friday.
Blair Lee III, Democrat Of
Montgomery. attacked the ear
lier bill as "legalized usury."
The new bill, which was
pushed quietly through the
Senate. was introduced two
weeks ago by Senate President
George w. Della. 1t passed
without protest last night.
The Senate bill has the back
ing Of the State Banking Com
missioner's office. according to
Deputy Commissioner John d.

A 5-year-old Arlington girl

of Mr.. and Mrs. Redmond r.
Iceland Of ALTO North Brandy

the hospital with a crushed
pelvis.
Her death brought the num-
Der OF traffic fatalities In the

said, stepped from behind a

truck in an alley near her
home. William j. Taylor, 80. of
the 1900 block Of South Lang
ley street, Arlington. was listed
as truck driver.

Mr.. Hospelhorn said the bill
was constructive legislation"
needed to meet economic needs
OF State residents.
Opponents of the bill, how
ever. charge that the expan-
sion to $4,000 is a cover-up for
the sharply increased rate on
loans in the $500 TO $1,000
range.
These loans account for 50
per cent Of the business trans
acted by 226 Offices licensed
under the Industrial Finance
Act. Mr.. Hospelhorn said.
The bill would provide an
annual rate Of return on
a l2-month loan of .26.5
per cent on all loans be-
tween $500 and $1,000.
The bill is being pressed here
BY the big national loan com.
pany chains.
The rate of return does not
include the insurance costs
many customers find themselves
paying at the rate Of So per
500 on the amount of money
they borrow.
Mr.. Hospelhorn said that In
1945, first year the Industrial
Finance Act was in effect, loans
In excess Of $1,000 amounted to
only 8 per cent of the total and
now account for 80 per cent OF
the total.
