HI HO Everybody, I hope your
all feeling fine-1 am jumping
off for a Week end visit to Chicago
to bring back to you the latest in
music find, there. Haven't been

so at least- Oh! yes-1 knew
there was something else. There
is a very charming young lady
whose first name is Lydia. She
sings in an ensemble here in town.
They tell me she has a voice of
exceptional brilliance. Don’t know
her last name yet- However by
next week I am hoping to know
not only her last name, but also
a great deal as to her musical ab

Until then don’t forget I’ll be
thinking of you in Chicago.

The Larieuse Beauty Bureau was established by the (
Godefroy Manufacturing Company to study methods
of preserving women's natural beauty, and to make
the results of this research available to the public.
These tingling October days make
it exciting to start out on a beauty
making program, and if you find
yourself with that up-and-doing
feeling this bright morning, seize
the mood and make something of it!
Exercise is a must, whether you
like it or not. The basic exercises
approved by leading health authori
ties are quite simple—and here is
a trick to make them more fun and
more beneficial. A noted New York
Beauty Salon, which believes in the
value of stretching for beauty and
relaxation, has put an exercise aid
on the market. This gadget is
simply a piece of tough elastic with
loops at each end in which to slip
the hands and the feet during your
exercises. If this isn’t available,
you can make one yourself which
will serve very well.
Here are some of the stretching
exercises recommended by this au
thority. We’ve tried them, and they
are fun and downright sensible.
1. Lie on your back and put your
hands in the loops of your elastic
strip. Place your feet in the middle
of the elastic and push them up
until your knees are straight and
legs at a right angle to the body.
2. Sit on the floor with knees
drawn up. Take both ends of the
elastic in cne hand, hold the center
with the other, and stretch your
arms high above your head and as
far apart as the elastic will allow.
3. Lie on your back, put both
loops of the elastic on one foot, the
other foot in the center of the elas
tic. Raise your legs, stretching
them as far apart as possible, then
lower them slowly.
4. Stand erect with botiri arms
over your head, one hand in each
loop. Pull one arm straight down
to the side, keeping the other arm
straight. Repeat with the other
arm.
5. Sit erect, grasping the ends of
the elastic and stretch your arms
wide over your head. Rock hard on
the hips.
6. Stand up, with feet about a
foot apart. Hold the elastic taut
over your head and swing torso
from side to side, without relaxing
the stretched elastic.
7. Now you go flat on the floor,
with knees bent and feet\on the
floor. Loop the elastic over your
feet and stretch one leg straight up,
then lower it and repeat with the
other leg.
8. Lie on your back with arms
outstretched at shoulder level, feet
straight up in the air. With the
elastic loops over your feet, swing
your legs from side to side, touch
ing the floor at each side, and keep
ing the elastic taut.
9. Finally, sit with your knees
straight, toes up and heels forward.
Lie down and sit up again as slowly
as possible.
If you make your own exercise
aid, be sure that the elastic is
strong enough to make it real exer
cise to stretch it. This extra stretch
ing, added to the familiar exercises
is a splendid idea. A few minutes
of these exercises every morning—
and we mean every morning—will
help you gain the lithe, young figure
that you want.
It takes a little will power—but
it works!
What are your beauty problems?

This Week In Religion
and Thought
BY ROBT. L. MOODY
TOYS AND DEFENSE
World affairs and conditions
have forced us to think of defense
in every phase of our daily living.
Toy manufacturers in the United
States agree that the American
way of life, can be taught through
play.
This Christmas the children will
receive toys which will suggest
and teach the various methods of
military and other phases of de
fense. -They will not only emph
asize these but they will also teach
by the use of toys which will spec
ially demonstrate American meth
ods o fhomemaking. art, science,
transportation, engineering, build
ing and industrial production.
This is not beginning of train
ing through play, but stress is be
ing greatly increased along this
line. This will give children con
structive play for physical, mental
and social development.
WAITERS’
COLUMN
(BY H. W. SMITH)
- --- ^ ^
We had the pleasure of being
one of the extra waiters at the 0
maha Athletic Club on October
9th and oh say was it an evening
of good fellowship for this writer.
As we all know it is always good
weather when good fellows get to
gether. We had the opportunity
to exchange a few words with the
manager Mr. Jack Ager, who was
one of our best friends wlhen this
writer was one of the regular em
ployes. Having a very sick wife
at that time, he was a friend "n
deed, as I was very much in need.
We shall always think very kindly
1 of him.
Mr. Ed Lee the friendly head
waiter who is up in from Lincoln
University, Jefferson City, Mo-,
Mr. Ed Buford, who is up from the
Sunflower State and Mr. Bill Jones
who is up from the State that rais
es razor back hogs, and they were
all very kind to us.
FLASH
And Oh say! did the chef cook
thank us for bringing him a copy
of the world renowned Omaha
Guide. We had a very pleasant
visit with all of the cooks and
were we all extremely overjoyed
to see one another and the dining
room crew. Our good friends Mr.
Tom Phillips. Mr. Ed Craig and
Mr- Johnson who we were told to
work with, is a real prince and is
a top service man.
In the Cocktail Lounge, Mr.
Fisher, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. McFar
land, Mr. Bill Davis, Mr. Wheatley,
Mr. Machine Gun Brooks who can
serve faster than an airplane can
fly, is always in the running, and
the many private dining rooms
should be in N, Y. as it is a most
delightful strain on one’s eyes to
look at the very fine drapes and
beautiful furniture adorning them
-they should attract all of the
members at all times.

j.s usual as the party men were
at Peony Park on the 9th taking |
care of a very large crowd and it!

always know what it tokes to serve
a large crowd.

Now as the Cornation Ball is in
the makin....the Fontenelle hotel
will be all dressed up as the elite
of Nebraskans will be out in full
bloom at the ball and the waiters
will be on the job and when the
King and Queen appears on the
scene, it will be very pleasing to
the eyes to look at them and Mr
Underwood and Mr. Reed will do
double Service instructing the boys
how to double quick step forward
march, as they have went through
jthe perforn^ance themselves be
fore. Now let’s all give them a
hand- Hats off to the boys!
Mr. John Evans was making
double quick steps on October 7th
as the 4H Club was at the Rome
Hotel with bells on and about 550
strong, and the waiters served
them in double quick time, and do
you know Brother John Evans is
a very fast waiter as he covers so
much ground in every step he tak
es.
The Cottonwood Room at the
Blackstone Hotel is on the top in
decorations as the high class trade
continues. Mr. C- C. Jones and
his crew of waiters are out in the
front. Mr. Avant the Streamlin

all times.

Defense weapons and telephone lines and

defense is taking much of the available
supply.
Already the telephone business is using
substitutes for some metals but there is no
known substitute for copper for telephone
wires in cities and between towns and soon
we may not be able to get any copper for
additional telephone plant except as it is
considered essential to national defense.
