N May 16, 1937 HAT about your figure? Have you stood before a full-length mirror re- cently and appraised yourself, taking an inventory of faults and virtues? Now is the time to do it, for within a few weeks you'll be shopping for bathing suits and colorful beach clothes. Proper exercise and a sensible diet will do the trick of getting you in trim. Helen Gleason’s simple menu habits consist of broiled or roasted meats, generally lamb or beef, plenty of fresh her swim suit. It is made of celanese , completely shirred from the flat- ing squared neckline to the snug- fitting thighs. Broad satin bands at ither side of the neckline are criss- crossed over the back and drawn to the front in a bow. The color com- binations are Windsor Red, a warm wine, and white. As for exercise, here’s a grand one to help flatten the abdomen and slim the waistline. It is a real stretching ex- ercise; try it the first thing just before Juncl-: W. D. CAMPBELL of Alabama is familiar with the scales of justice — and fish; hence his astonishment when he caught a crappie, a sunfish closely related to calico bass, and discovered that its scales ran backward — from tail to head instead of in the usual manner. ®* %x = A WEARY Central American moth, its 5-inch wings ripped, came down in Maine a few weeks ago after a flight of at least 2,500 miles. After such a record trip, the kind folk of that State felt it deserved all the moth-holes it could produce. Urawing by Maijor Felten Bea vty Brevities by MARTHA LEAVITT you hop out of bed in the morning: Stretch both arms firmly overhead and push the legs, knees and feet downward. Now roll your arms and shoulders over to the left side, back, and then to the right side. Be sure to keep the hips straight — as they were when you started stretching. If youdo this correctly five times each morning you'll not only firm the waist muscles but also the arm muscles. Young Ann Sheridan does this sim- ple routine to keep her waistline slender: she lies face downward on her bed, with elbows bent, palms of hands down — between chest and bed — and legs straight. Keeping legs straight raise yourself upward until elbows are also straight and all the weight is on the hands and toes. Try this and see for yourself how tense and firm the stomach muscles feel! A Slim Waistline ! That is something desired by every normal woman. We have o leaflet of exercises that should help you get rid of additional flesh around the waist.

WILE ECENTLY the editor of a rural newspaper was shot down by the son of his rival publisher. Carried to a hospital, heat once dictated a telegram to the news- gathering organizations announcing the shooting and his own serious con- dition. Two hours later he was dead. This incident was a dramatic illus- tration of why certain people rise to great heights in great emergencies. Doctors, ministers, nurses, police- men, firemen, air pilots, ship captains, news reporters — they all have their faults, but most of them also have one great virtue: In their full and vivid lives they have developed the habit of responsibility. Never forget that a life is in your hands, no matter what personal prob- lems harass you; never forget that public safety comes first; never forget that your job is to report the news — these are the mottoes of our public servants. They are conscious of an obligation. This consciousness becomes an ingrained habit. When the great test comes — flood, fire, earthquake, any catastrophe — they rise to it in- stantly, automatically, without con- scious thought. It is at such moments that we find out the real character of a man or woman. Pretense and surface pleasan- tries fall away. Only the virtues based on long habit remain.
