WOMEN'S NEWS THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 31, 1913. SOCIETY SECTION 2 The Daf Dent an tig Senoritas Show Good Neighbor iiness At Work War Housing Center Needs Both Volunteers and Rooms Two Latin Americans, speakers at U. aren't bothered by customs in U. S. Ry Rhea Tnlley THE WAR HOUSING CENTER has two crying needs volunteers and rooms.

To the center at 502 W. Jeffer son come all sorts of newcomers who want a place to live. Their first choice is usually an apartment, and a furnished one. Any one who has gone apartment-hunting in Louisville lately knows what an order this is. m.

The next best thing is a room where the war worker or military man it's usually one or I 0 I iiliifi4 1 the other can keep his family for the night This is usually a temporary arrangement, just to prevent the poor newcomers from having to spend the night in a park, but it often develops into permanency as the knowledge slowly dawns that an apartment In Louisville is rarer than a pearl in an oyster bed. Anyone who has a sleeping room to rent, either permanently gTUDENTS and teachers both that's the way Senorita Maria Isabelle Var-gas-Salas and Senorita Elsa Sifuentes- Casalino like to describe themselves. The two attractive Latin American girls came from Peabody College for teachers in Nashville, to speak at the Inter-American Workshop of the University of Louisville yesterday. Senorita Vargas is from Costa Rica and Senorita Sifuentes from Peru. A word about those hyphenated names: Latin Americans combine their father's surname with their mother's maiden name, and the first half of the hyphen is the name they're called by.

Pretty, dark-eyed Senorita Vargas will teach in the elementary grades when she returns to Costa Rica. She already has had dome experience with the sixth grade in her home town of Alajuela. She took her BA. there in 1940, then taught, then spent the last school term at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. Tht Waves at Smith College fascinated her.

FJementary education and English are her two big studies. A Hi ion Her Worry. When Senorita Sifuentes goes home to Peru she will work to improve the eating habits of her countrymen. "Nothing at all has been done about nutrition in Teru," she said. "They don't know a thing about it.

You see the effects in the health of the people in the interior. They eat corn and potatoes all the time. They don't know a thing about other vegetables." Senorita Sifuentes was intensely patriotic when asked if the soil of Peru was suitable for raising vegetables. "It will raise anything in the world!" she exclaimed. War Home economics, naturally, is her major at Peabody.

Senorita Sifuentes took her degree from Syracuse Uni versity in May, after attending Russell Sage for three years. Senorita Vargas was just as patriotic about Costa Rica for that little country was the first in Latin America to declare war on the Axis. "We weren't especially proud of it. It was just the natural thing to do. We were always for democracy." These two girls are living examples of the value of the good-neighbor policy.

Before it was put into effect, Senorita Sifuentes admits, maybe there was a little resentment south of 4he border for the richer country to the north. But since the good-neighbor policy started working both ways, why, she says, there is nothing but goodwill for the United States. North American customs have given the two girls no worry. There is a little difference as regards dating in South America. A blind date is unheard of in both Costa Rica and Peru.

And no girl in Latin America has a lot of beaux on the string at once, says Senorita Vuigas. Yn Co Stemdv. "You go with one at a time," she explained. "You don't change around. I don't remember the English word yes, that's it, steady.

You go steady with one man, and when you get tired of him you go steady with another. No, people don't get the impression you're engaged just because you go with one man all the time." Senorita Vargas and Senorita Sifuentes can go to an early movie with a date unchaperoned. But when they expect to be late getting in, their mothers accompany them. "Mother doesn't stick around me all the time," said Senorita Vargas. "When we go to a dance, she dances herself or plays cards with the other mothers.

She has a good time and I just love to go out with my mother." Thought, of fur jarket tempted Lady ISancy Actor.

Return to starting position, relax and repeat. Ten counts for that side, then roll over and perform on the other side. From that same position, raise top leg from the hip and make wide circles up in front and around in back.

Do this ten times with one leg, rest, and perform lying on other 'side. When you have finished you will want to relax completely for a couple of minutes before going on to the next exercises. STAND UP to do a chorus girl kick. You will do better by your thigh muscles if you being by swinging the foot over a waste-basketor chair seat. After awhile, you should be able to clear the top of a chairback.

Another good exercise is to turn the chair around, place both hands on the back for support, and swing the leg like a pendulum between you and the chair. Lift foot slightly off the floor, and swing leg from the hip, across the other leg, then away out to the side. Repeat the same number of counts with each leg. That is an easy routine but you will be delighted with the results. You will see a decided improvement wtthin a few weeks.

NOW THAT the season for' shorts and swim suits is at its height, it is plain to be seen that, what keeps most girls from qualifying as bathing beauties is the thigh measurement. The skinny mermaids have thighs that bow in, and the fat ones have thighs that bow out. If you are thin, no doubt you despair of those ugly inner thigh hollows as being beyond your control. If you are on the buxom order, you probably expect a diet when you get around to it will fix all the bulges. But what is needed in either case is exercise of a special kind.

Since the weather is not conducive to activity, you will be relieved to know that the exercises are not particularly strenuous. If you will do your stint accurately, you can get along with a few minutes' workout every day. Here is a good set. LIE ON YOUR BACK on the floor with knees flexed and soles of feet on floor close to hips. Very slowly and forcibly, separate knees in a V.

I suppose among the girls now in the Waacs, who will shortly become Wacs, there will be some who will be glad of this opportunity. Many people start out on something that they want to do for patriotic reasons and enter with great enthusiasm, but when they find it means a daily grind with, on the whole, little excitement and no glamor, it is hard to keep up that initial enthusiasm.

So I have wanted to say something to these girls. Nowhere have I seen any tribute paid them for the desire to serve, which undoubtedly took them into the services, and for the qualities of character which will keep them in throughout the duration of the war. I AM NOT BELITTLINGS the work which women are doing in factories, in shipyards and in a thousand and one vital occupations. Many women can do this kind of work who could not. for one reason or another, enter into the military services.

Perhaps they cannot be spared from home, or their earnings are needed. But, if they are free and others will not suffer, I think snre. said he fined her with regret. 3f isses Turtle O.D.T. OFFICIALS, minding General Order 10-A, have frowned on all sightseeing trips, including bus parties for swimming picnics, baseball games, so the ax has fallen en many of the most popular activities at Louisville's U.S.O.

Clubs. In spite of the above limitations, the U.S.O. programs here are crammed this week end with plenty of fun for everybody. In short order we recommend the following: CLUB: A full house will pack the gym tonight when the Armoraiders will blow their horns at the regular Saturday night dance. Then, Sunday afternoon, Bowman Field's Bombardiers will shake the rafters with hot music.

N.C.C.S.-U.S.O.: A big dance tonight and a Sunday night supper and dance stand out on this club's schedule. Formerly one of the regular patrons of the N.C.C.S. Club, Corp. Dominic Cro-cetti, who now is in Africa, has written the club's staff that he misses the gang. Over there where "the days are long and hot and the nights are short and rool." wrote the corporal, he has run into other N.C.C.S.

alumni, Corp. John Kelsodich and Lieut. Joe Horsley. Y.M.C.A.-U.S.O.: Never a dull moment here but the big parties of the week end will come off tonight, when Pvt. Gus Jimenez band features Latin American tunes.

Y.M.H.A.-J.W.B.: As the O.D.T. proclamation called a halt on the aquatic picnic at the Standard Club, the street dance which blocks off Jacob Street between First and Second will be resumed. Y.W.C.A.-U.S.O.: The director of the U.S.O. with quarters in the Y.W. building, Lillian Trav- ers, has announced that Bowman Field's glider mechanics will be given a party Wednesday night at the air base.

Plenty of junior hostesses will cart the refreshments out from town. WONDERS NEVER CEASE at Louisville's downtown book stores, which cater to the soldiers trade. The other day a store received an unusual order from William M. Nikolin, Headquarters 1st Armored Division, A.P.O. 251, care of Postmaster, New York City, who inclosed a S20 check.

He requested that the store send a girl in Duquesne, and a damsel fair in McDonald, Ohio, five books each, which he had seen advertised on a sale in The Courier-Journal. "To both young ladies you will send red roses. $5 each," was the final favor asked in the letter. The order has been filled and we'd say there's one soldier in the world who doesn't play DIRECT FROM POST HEADQUARTERS at Fort Krox we have a plug for V-mail, which the War Department emphasizes that we use when writing to the boys overseas. Here are the reasons why V-mail is the safest and only guaranteed means of a letter reaching its overseas destination.

Weighing one-sixty-fifth of an ordinary letter. V-mail travels by air and has priority over all other types of personal mail. All original letters are kept at port of embarkation and if a plane flying V-mail is brought down by accident or enemy action, the missing film is reported and the letters are photographed once more and sent again on' by microfilm. Write as many V-mail pages as you wish, but be sure to number and address each one. Soldiers would rather have a letter every day than to wait a week or a month, depending on convoys, for a long letter.

bution of the men in the armed services, and they deserve our warm praise. Many a boy must wish that he could have had a few weeks more to fulfill his heart's desires, and yet he has had to go to war. He has no choice once in the armed forces as to whether he will stay or go, or what he will do. EVERY WOMAN who takes a boy's place serves under the same conditions, but she knows she is directly releasing some man to swell the ranks of the men who are now bringing the war to a close by their actual participation in the fighting. The fighters cannot do without the army of production which give them equipment and food and mechanical necessities, without which this war cannot be fought.

Nevertheless, when it is over, it will be the men and women who accepted the disripline and the risk of life and limb who will have a ens of comradeship which none of the rest of us can share. They will know that their contribution was the greatest to the generations of the future and we shall stand humbly before them. appearing in court.
