The other day I saw a young woman step Into an office reception room with a long, lithesome stride, head up, chest and shoulders high— a wonderful example of correct pos ture and carriage. She strode over to a chair and sat down, alas, but how she sat down. She looked like a sack of potatoes thrown in a corner. She slumped down and practically folded up. Gone w as that fine posture, that proud carriage. Some people take a lot of pains with their posture when they walk down the street, but neglect it when they are standing or sitting. Pos ture is something we should think about all the time, not just part of the time. We should sit straight, stand straight, and walk straight. Then and only then will nature be gin to do something about your figure. You know it is said that one of the best ways to achieve a slim waistline is to keep the stomach in . . . and up! Some of the most effective exercises for the waist consist primarily in stretching the stomach muscles ... in and up. Army men found this out a long time ago, and before long we will see the effect of army training on the physiques of our young men who have been called from farm, shop and office for military duty. It is surprising how closely re lated posture Is to our emotions and spirits. Watch yourself or others when spirits are low. The chest tends downward and the body more or less hangs itself on its frame. But when we are buoyant and ex cited, the chest expands and lifts. Our entire body expresses self assertion, courage, animation and heartiness. For this reason, we can stimulate physical and mental (vell-belng by an erect carriage. This I means much to a woman’s appear ance these days when curves are the vogue. Thank goodness, the sophisticated slouch went out sev eral years ago. I have always contended that any woman, young or old, can make her self smart and attractive if she will look to her carriage, to her make up, and to her hair. A good car riage will make a slim woman ap pear to fill out, and will sene to streamline one who has a few too many curves. Take either the slim or not-so slim woman with poise and vitality in her carriage, give her the right kind of make-up, and you have what the fashion experts call a woman chic, smart and stylish. Both these things are so easy to accomplish. One calls for a little discipline of the body. The other calls for a little study of the right sort of make-up, selection of the right powder, rouge, etc., and ap plying it correctly. Too light a powder, too bright a rouge, the wrong shade of lipstick, give an unnatural effect. Proper selection and careful application of make-up are most important items In your search for beauty. What are your beauty problems? Write: Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Bureau, 3509 Lindelt Blvd., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them.

Neely, West Virginia, signs act placing “Good Roads Amendment” on ballot, while E. L. Bailey, State Road Commissioner (left); Mrs. Grace O. Austin, Southern West Virginia Automobile Club; Lawrence E. Rollins, West Virginia Motor Truck Association; and T. H. McGovran, representative of the Farm Or ganization, look on. THE legislatures of Iowa, Oregon and West Virginia are the first in 1941 to approve cohstitutional amendments designed to preserve the integrity of their highway funds, but a nation-wide survey reveals that 11 other state legis latures are currently considering this method of protecting their highway revenues against misuse and diversion. In all three states the proposed amendments now require only the approval of the voters before be coming effective. In Wisconsin a similar amendment has been ap proved by one legislature, but the constitutional procedure of that state requires a second passage before the question is submitted to the people. “Public opinion definitely is re pudiating the misuse, and diver sion of automotive tax funds," the. American Petroleum Industries Committee declared, in announc ing the action taken by the Iowa, Oregon and West Virginia legis latures. "The only method that has ever 'successfully provided a permanent safeguard against raids on the highway funds is the adop tion of constitutional amendments outlawing the practice, similar to those now in effect in eleven states. "Farmers, motorists, truck own ers and others interested in high way transportation in all parts of the country have been impressed by the success and popularity of this method of insuring the future of highway transportation, and they are anxious to obtain similar protection for their own states. That is why the diversion amend ment movement is sweeping over i the nation like a prairie fire " ' _ I •rive.
