Men Get Best
Of Bargain In
Cigaret Hunt
By RUTH MILLETT
In a southern city a woman re
porter conducted a private survey
among cigaret smokers and dis
:overed that men were having bei.
;er luck than women in the hunt
'or cigarets. In spite of the fact
hat women do most of a family's
marketing and shopping and so
;hould have more prestige with
ilerks, they can’t get cigarets.
But. then, men always fare bet
er than women when they are
■eady to spend money for some
hing they want. Men get much
letter service in restaurants than
io women. The reason is supposed
o be that they are better tippers,
lut even the poor tippers among
men seem to command more re
ject than women who are known
o tip well and unfailingly.
And in stores it so often is fhe
man who gets waited on in a hur
■y, while women customers are
illowed to wait while two sales
ilerks compare notes on the eve
iing before.
Men are treated more respect
’ully, too, when they go to buy
heatre tickets or ask for railroad
tccomm odations, or when they
walk into a store and ask inno
:ently for an article that has
ieen off store shelves for months
xniiivci o siiiiii uioiinvxivu
The reason usually given for
men’s better treatment is that
hey are better spenders. But that
is just a rationalization of a fact
ive don’t like to face.
The fact is that men command
more respect and are treated
more courteously than women—
iust because they are men.
Even in America in 1945 that is
still a distinction that women
ran’t equal, no matter how much
more of the nation’s money they
spend than do the men.

Exercise
On The Job
* -
By EMILY R. ANDREWS ,
Written Exclusively For AP News
features

If you are an office worker and
have "no time” to exercise, try 1
to keep fit while on the job.
You can build your own "keep
fit” program by getting exercise
from many of your daily tasks.
This program can begin as soon
as alarm rings and can be carried
throughout the entire day.
1. While still lying in bed, stretch
your arms, your legs, your fingers,
your toes.
2. "Curl” forward as you throw
the covers off your feet. Repeat
the "curl” several times, breath
ing deeply.
3. Swing both legs high over the
side of the bed as you get up.
4. Stand while putting on your
shoes and stockings.
5. Get off the street car a few
blocks from your work and walk
the rest of the way.
6. Walk up one or two flights of
stairs or down three or four in-!
stead of using the elevator.
7. When you sit at your desk,
push your hips back against the
chair and keep your shoulders
low.
8. Change your position occa
sionally; raise and lower shoul
ders; cross and recross your legs.
9. Get the habit of pulling in
the abdomen when reaching across
the desk.
10. Be glad of the chance to
pick up something from the floor
and in doing so, be sure to bend
your knees.
11. Stand with weight on both
feet, not on one or the other which
will make you lopsided.
12. When you go to bed, wiggle
your toes and massage your feet,
and just before you “jump-in” take
another stretch for good luck.
