FLORIDA’S HHIERE in winter's sun-ripe grapefruit is a sparkling draft of summer health. Now, when your system gets run down because fresh vegetables are scarce, when you are most likely to have aci- dosis, eat plenty of luscious grapefruit. s ‘‘freshness” vitamin puts symmer health in your diet— its alkaline action in the body corrects acidosis—it helps to ward off winter colds. Grapefruit contains more mineral salts and essen- tial vitamins than almost any food you can eat. And the finest grapefruit from Florida’s sun-drenched groves are labeled “Seald-Sweet.”’ Insist on this name, it e rip brings you the pick of the crop. Each Seald-Sweet is, tree-ripened; heavy, plump \ and sweet — bursting with its rare-flavored juice. Serve , half a Seald-Sweet for break- fast. Drink a glass of the clear juice. Peel off the tender skin and use the delicious segments for tempting salads. Eat Seald-Sweets two or three times a day to get the full benefit — to check acidosis and prevent the usual winter ailments. Look for the name ‘‘Seald-Sweet’’ stamped right on the skin, and on the wrapper, to be sure you are get- ANUARY COLDS bk ¢ abe ting the extra juice and superior fla- vor of Florida’s finest fruit.

This employment service is free to both AS I walked up to the mail box, Joe nudged Ed and winked broadly for my benefit. “Sh!” he hissed in a loud stage-whisper. *‘This is going to be the big turning point in Frank Parker’s life! He’s writing for a book that tells how to get into salesmanship. Pretty soon he’ll be earning so much that he'll make the rest of us look like pikers!”’ Ed snickered. _ “Won’t it be grand!” he grinned. ‘‘Now he can quit punching time-clocks and eating -40-cent lunches.” He raised his voice. “Drop me a postal some time when you get out into big business and start making $10,000 a year, will you, Frank?” They both laughed uproariously. And probably it DID seer like a joke to them that a $30 a week clerk would have the nerve to think he could ever get anywhere or make real money withovt some special “sift” or “‘pull.”’ . But they laughed too soon. They never dreamed that their prophecies spoken in jest would ever come true, Yet stranger things happen in real life than in all the fiction ever written. Just yesterday I sat down and wrote to Ed, who is still at the shop, dragging along at the same old job. “Dear Ed’—I wrote. “Perhaps you remember the ‘run-around’ you and Joe Gibson gave me one day not so long ago. You asked me to send you a card when I ‘got into big business and started making $10,000 a year.’ Well, here’s your card. Yesterday I was rfromoted to the job of f ae Assistant Sales Manager of the Western Metal Works, at a salary that goes with it. So laugh THAT off! If you are ever over this way, drop in and see me! I'll loan you my copy of that book on salesmanship you used to think was such a joke.”’ Only a book! Just seven ounces of paper and printers’ ink—but it contains one of the most vivid and inspiring messages that any ambitious man can read. Between its covers are disclosed hundreds of surprising facts about the highest paid profession in the world. It reveals the réal truth about the art of selling. It blasts dozens of old _ theories, explains the science of selling in simple terms, and tells exactly how the great sales records of nationally-known star salesmen are achieved. And not only that—_ it outlines a simple plan that will enable almost any man to master scientific sales: manship without spending a moment on the road—without losing a day or a dollar from his present position. A Few Weeks—Then Bigger Pay Reason it out for yourself. Salesmanship offers bigger returns and delivers them quicker than any other line of work under the sun. But many people have subscribed to the foolish notion that a man has to be “‘born’’ with some sort of ‘‘gift’’ for sales- manship. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Just like any other profession, salesmanship is governed by certain fundamental rules and laws— laws which you can master as easily as you learned the alphabet. Right now an unusual demand for salesmen is being reported. City and traveling sales positions are open in nearly every line all over the country. For years thousands of leading firms have called on employers and employees, and thousands have secured excellent positions this way. Free To Every Man See for yourself WHY ‘“‘The Key to Master Salesmanship’’ has been the deciding factor in the careers of so many men who are now making $10,000 a year.

; . Physical Culture for February, 1931 When | Learned Millions of Men Suffer with this Gland Disorder... I Resigned as. Executive of a Seven Million Dollar Corporation to Bring Men the News of this Great Drugless Home Treatment / Now...Men in Every Civilized _ Nation Are Taking Advantage — of this Great Discovery tsa many years I was a directing execu- tive of one of the larger steel concerns in the Pittsburgh district. Then came an event that caused me to quickly resign from this lucrative position with its assured future. For some time I had been consulting a scientist with regard to certain manufactur- ing formulas. One day, after such a discus- sion in my office, this man said, ‘“You have many men working for you. Have you ever noticed how many men seem to sud- denly grow old, go all to pieces in less than a year’s time when they reach a certain middle age?”’ I told him I had noticed this in many cases. Further I said I was very much interested as I was nearing 40 myself. Prostate Trouble ‘“‘Prostate trouble is the answer,” he said. ‘“‘That hardly seems possible,” I replied. “Why, I know of very few men who ever had that disorder.” “Yes, most men are like you—they know little about the prostate gland—yet highest medical authorities definitely say that nearly 7 men out of every 10 have prostate disorder after a certain age. Literally mil- lions of men have prostate trouble without knowing it. Some confuse their trouble with kidney or bladder derangement. Others think that they are aging prematurely— that pains in feet, legs, back and head, and increasing frequent night rising are natural and nothing can be done about them. New Easy Method Then he told me of his discovery, a simple easy way to stimulate the prostate gland— and how he had placed it in the hands of physicians and afflicted men for conclusive trial. The results had been even more satis- factory than expected, in some cases almost miraculous. He ended by saying, ‘‘Money and busi- ness experience is necessary to bring this discovery to the millions of rnen who need it, at a cost everyone can afford. You are just the man.” Amazing Results My decision was made within a few days. Today I see that decision rewarded a thou- sand times over. Thousands of letters come to re from men telling of relief from most distressing conditions. Some tell how they have been saved from the necessity of the surgeon’s knife in a painful gland opera- tion. Others tell of relief after all other methods have failed. Many say they feel 20 years younger relieved from the torturous - and painful conditions that often make life a burden for men of mature years.

A\ pe A\ (Photo by Nickolas Muray) IDEAL MANHOOD By BERNARR | Ti HIS month we celebrate the birthdays of _ George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. They were indeed outstanding specimens of ideal manhood. , Washington was an athlete; a masterful, powerful man whose brain functioned within a splendidly strong body. Lincoln was a rail-splitter and a wrestler, a master of men, physically as well as mentally. There was no glorification of gangsters in that period of our history. Men had to be made of stern stuff to come through the hardships that were endured in those pioneer days. But re- gardless of the changes in our environment, there should be no change in the type of ideal manhood. The reincarnations of Washington and Lin- coln would be outstanding types today. Suc- cess in whatever sphere they might be associated with would be assured them. And, all indications to the contrary, the manly, upstanding type, the vigorous, coura- geous man, who will fight to the last for square dealing, will win in the end, even in these times when questionable characters roll up huge fortunes through bootlegging and other illegal measures. Honesty still pays. MACFADDEN To deal fairly with your fellow men is still profitable; but it requires more than usual courage to adhere to these old-time ideals. The cunning schemer, the trafhicker in law- lessness, are often rewarded, but they never know what moment they will be caught and thrust into prison. But the man who follows the straight road, who adheres to the habits of life that keep him clean and wholesome and strong in body and mind, will find life at times a joyous experi- ence. He may have to fight many battles, but he should come out victorious. Though we sometimes condone criminality, as a people we love justice and truth. We like the upstanding, square-shouldered man who can fearlessly look you in the eye and fight manfully for the rewards that are hon- estly won. The old-time concept of ideal manhood is by far the best. It demands a rugged physical type that can come only through much outdoor life, and splendid care of the physical body in every detail, that should bring—through proper mental development— the master mind, the self-reliance and de- pendability that insure success and _ happi- ness—the great prizes for which we are all seeking.

t and billets. be to get, but that I _ had to get there. _ I was after human- Courage and (; ompassion EGINNING with the March issue, PHYSICAL CULTURE MAGAZINE will become the American vehicle for the new novels of Warwick Deeping. This, the Editor feels, is the most important an- nouncement he has ever made to his readers—important not so much because it guarantees the acquisition of some of the finest fiction being written today, as because it introduces into these columns the influence of one of the noblest personalities of our times. Warwick Deeping is a great craftsman, it is true, but that is secondary; he is, in the first place, a great human being—and that is the main reason why PHYSICAL CULTURE MAGAZINE has chosen him as the very keystone of its new, expanded fiction program. Readers of ‘‘Sorrell and Son,’’ “‘Kitty,’’ ““Roper’s Row” and ‘‘Exile’’ do not have to be told that it is the man behind these books whom they love. They fully realize that, thrilling as these stories are, they would never so stir and move them to the very depths of their beings, were it not for the great and com- passionate spirit of the author that broods above the half-happy, half-tragic lives of his beloved people. Speaking of his own writing, Deeping says: “T wish the work I did before the war had never been written. I was living a sort of self-absorbed, dreamy, isolated life. The war pulled me out of that. I was seeing life, getting the realities, and having the ro- mantic stuff knocked out of me. I felt I had to make a fresh start. I began in France—I scribbled in dug-outs, huts I came back feeling I had not got anywhere near where I wanted eek -Deeping in the gardets at Eastlands, his Georgian rca in Weybridge: Warwick Deeping has two enthusi- asms, his garden and _shis tiny Cairn terrier ity, and the life of the day, and how it would express itself through me. It was a devil of a job trying to bury my little, old reputation at the same time that I was trying to evolve the real. I used to worry about it. Would the thing come? But now I don’t worry. A voice says, ‘Relax, wait, don’t be in a hurry. It will come.’ And it does. “Of course one has personal tendencies. I believe in love, courage and compassion. I suppose that is why the people who are out just after cleverness fail to see that life is a complex of great simplicities. We are apt to look at little bits of the pattern, and not at the whole garment. And we still are children on the seashore. *“My ideals as a writer are to be simple and human. I do not believe in the miserable school, nor in a per- verse and melancholy realism. The world is much happier than we think. And the more we open our eyes to its beauty, and to the rich color of its humanity, the more capable we are of realizing happiness. Walt Whitman had the great secret: Be healthy, enjoy, love.”’ This is the fine creed of Warwick Deeping as he expresses it himself; it is writing from such an exalted viewpoint that has made of his newest novel, ‘‘The Ten Commandments,”’ his masterpiece. This is the novel that opens in the March issue of PHYSICAL CULTURE MAGA- ZINE; it is the novel you will not want to miss a single word of; it is filled to over- flowing with fasci- cating characters, moving episodes and rich emotional inter- play—but, above all, does it breathe of those ‘“‘large sim- plicities—love, cour-. age and compas- sion.” beautiful ; THE EDITOR.

Sunny had prenatal sug- gestion and care, which con- sisted of pleasant walks in the sunshine, light, nourish- ing food and no medicine. So he came into the world without the usual drug com- plex which some mothers insist on bequeathing to their offspring. He is now four and a half years old and is attending kindergarten.

We were far out beyond the breakers when we noticed a crowd gathering on the beach. We swam in to see the excite- ment and to our horror found there had been a triple drowning. Three little girls, the oldest nine years, mem- bers of a Sunday school picnic, had been playing in the water along the edge of the beach. They had stum- bled into a slough, of which there are many along that portion of the coast, and drowned before anyone heard their cries or came to their rescue. Witnessing this tragedy made my husband more determined than ever that any children of ours should know how to swim as young as possible.

She cried at first but after a minute or two, perhaps sensing her father’s enthusiasm, she stopped crying and began to kick experi- mentally. -He kept his hand under her head, the rest of her body floated free. At three months she was kicking with her hands and feet, not a professional back stroke perhaps, but a good imitation. If any water splashed into her mouth she would spit it out at once and kick the harder. At four months we first tried taking our hand from under her head for a brief moment. It was done so gently that she did not know our hand was gone. At four months and a half she was able to float alone for a minute or so without get- ting water over her face and into her mouth. One hot Sunday if September when the baby was not quite six months’ old my hus- band announced he was going to take her “swimming” in a near-by river and get some pictures of her in the water. I was horrified. Put my baby in the river by herself and take pictures of her! Not if I could help it. But I couldn’t help it; again my husband won. We took the bath thermometer along, went to a place up the river where we often picnicked and where the river was shallow far out. We put the thermometer in the water, it registered 80 degrees, only a few degrees cooler than the air. My husband, in his bathing suit, took the camera in one hand, the baby under his arm and wading out into the river gently lowered her into the water. The water was just above his knees and there was no current. She didn’t know quite what to make of it at first but soon got her bearings and began kicking. After a moment my husband took his hand away from her head and she floated as confidently as any Channel veteran. We took a roll of films of her from a distance of ten to fifteen feet while she was thoroughly enjoying herself. Chicago, II. Mrs. Cyntura H. Erickson. Eprror’s Note—So many children are handicapped by the fear which their parents instill in them from babyhood, that these parents deserve a laurel wreath. Our Medical Advisory Board points out, however, that the baby probably does not “‘swim” in the ac- cepted sense of the word. The child is too young to understand directions as to what to do with her arms and legs, nor would she be able to coordinate her movements as one must do to swim. The child instinctively keeps herself afloat, aided by the fat, which is natural to babies, and by the absence of fear. There is no doubt but that she will be taught really to swim as soon as she is old enough to under- stand what is expected of her. Carol Jean Crowther, aged 17 months, of Fort Mills, P. I.

If so, how early can this be allowed? Mrs. L. F. V. Answer: A baby of a month or less may require moderately warm air, but even in this case the window or windows should be open enough to permit a constant supply of fresh air. A child over one or two months should be eradually accustomed to a temperature prac- tically the same as that out-of-doors, except in temperature approaching zero. Naturally, the child should be kept warm, even with the aid of hot-water bottles or other artificial heat in the bed if necessary. But it is the coddling, the over-supply of bed-covering, and the superheated bedrooms of young children that has most to do with the development of winter ills in babies and young children, except perhaps for diet and its resulting de- fective elimination through the bowels. A baby or young child should not sleep imme- diately before an open window through which comes very cold air; but it will be healthier and have greater re- sistance to colds and other winter ills if it has an abundance of fresh, cool air. Other Questions Answered in This Department Throbbing Brain Sciatic Rheumatism Nerves and Exercise Round Shoulders Stammering Throbbing Brain UESTION: I am married and have two children. I have a tingling and throbbing feeling at the base of my head for about four- teen years. It is very depressing. Doctors call it neurasthenia. Can this be cured? I am also nervous, and have worked only two days in years. HM: Answer: So much has been printed in this magazine about right living that you should have absorbed some of it in your reading. It is difficult to tell where to begin with you, as you gave no idea as to any specific cause or causes of your trouble. But you probably need a better, more natural diet, better elimination, more real relaxation, yet more exercise, more sunlight, fresh air and water, tonic bathing, spinal manipulative treatments or hot spinal compresses and massage, and a better mental outlook. You doubtless brood over, your trouble. Give it less and less thought and soon you will find it unnecessary to think of it at all. Sciatic Rheumatism UESTION: My husband has sciatic rheumatism. All teeth but. six were pulled, but no relief. Chiropractic treatments, twenty in number, gave no relief. A doctor now gives him serum treatments, but his hip hurts again and his leg is numb. He has adhesive tape on his back now. He took salt baths, but can’t now— 4 Enlarged Tonsils with the tape on. What is wrong with him? He is a sausage maker, works in a damp place. When he cooks, the walls drip on him. Then he goes from the steam room to the refrigerator. Would a violet-ray machine do him good? He is thirty-seven. —Mkrs. L. P. Answer: The work this man does probably is largely responsible for his condition. That is, it easily can be when one’s general mode of living is not the best. I do not know of any treatment that will have a curative effect so long as his work remains detrimental and his general condition is such as to make him sus- ceptible. He should, of course, take unusual precautions to prevent toxemia and constipa- tion and to be well nourished, but without meats and other heavy proteins. Osteopathic treatments, or even hot spinal compresses and spinal massage, might do better than some chiropractic treat- ments. It depends up- on how these are given, of course. But in any case it probably would be best for him to change his position, if possible. Nerves and Exercise UESTION: Nerve specialists claim . that muscle-building wrecks the nervous system, and name a number of strong men who ‘died young. Is there any truth in the claim? My nerves are shot to pieces, my general health is bad and my mind is affected, yet I hardly ever had enough muscles to hold myself together. I am considering gradual muscular development, but before I start I want to know the truth. I’ve always been sickly and of a nervous disposition, and at school I never entered athletic games. I sup- pose I never had enough exercise. —Youne Man. Answer: Any point can be “proven” by “authority.” Innoeent men are convicted, guilty ones go free, through “‘proof.”’ For one man who dies prematurely as a direct result of strong-man exercise, a great many are enabled by such exercise to live longer and to enjoy life more fully while living. If you start within your strength and vitality and increase the amount of exercise gradually it is likely that. you will make better progress healthward and _ toward longevity than in any other way— not forgetting wise eating, of course. It takes proper foods to build up with proper exercise. Round Shoulders UESTION: Ihave that round-shouldered, stooped build. Lungs, heart and stomach seem to be crowded together. If it isn’t too late at the age of 25, what is the best thing to do © for it? I also have a catarrhal condition, but — | cannot expectorate freely; and I am constipated

The diaphragm does not seem to work right. What do you advise?—M. A, C. ANSWER: Most exercises calling for straight- ening the back, bringing the head and shoulders backward, and especially bringing the body backward, will have a tendency to straighten the back and shoulders, and make room for chest and abdominal organs. The muscles on the posterior of the body must be strengthened, to hold you erect. Strengthen the abdomen, also, but preferably by exercises taken head down on an inclined support, so the abdominal organs can be in their proper positions. Stretch, without apparatus, by hanging by the hands from a door-frame. Eat more laxative foods: salads, fresh and stewed fruits, cooked greens, bran and whole-wheat products. Masticate all foods well. Avoid spices and condiments, coffee, tea, and rich and fried foods. Take a daily friction bath, preferably before or after a cool sponge bath. Stammering UESTION: I have a daughter who stam- mers very badly. At times she can hardly speak. Then again she can speak as well as anyone. It is very embarrassing, as she is grown now, and she tries constantly to over- come it. She first became affected when she was about fifteen years old. Is it hereditary? —A Moruer. ANSWER: Some nervous shock, or some pro- nounced decline in strength or nervous energy, may have been responsible for the develop- ment of this condition, though of course I cannot state the cause exactly. Rarely it is hereditary. By this is meant that the nervous instability that permits it to develop is heredi- tary at times; not the stammering. Even in hereditary cases the stammering usually does not begin before four or five years of. age which means that wrong living must be practised for some time before the condition can develop. Vocal exercises, along with such changes in living habits as will allow the health to improve to the highest point possible, usu- ally will bring about a complete cure. But mental fear and an accompanying feeling of inferiority must be overcome. Right think- ing, then, will be necessary. One must pay no attention to what one thinks others may be thinking. The patient should repeat to her- self that she has full mastery over her speech, also suggest to herself calmness, poise and balance. She should think what she wants to say before attempting to say it, then say it without haste and tension. She should hum and whistle and sing and recite memorized matter, and speak before a mirror enunciating vowels, consonants and syllables. separately. Deep breathing should precede and accompany these vocal exercises. Take a deep breath, then hum a certain note or series of notes while the breath lasts. Then repeat, but vary the volume of sound from soft to loud and back to soft. Gradually advance from letter sounds By practising before a mirror, coordination is developed more rapidly. Patience is required, of course; but patience and perseverence will win. Enlarged Tonsils O' ESTION: I have been advised to have my tonsils removed, but as I am a lec- turer I want to avoid the operation. What can I do? J. R. V., Baltimore, Maryland. Answer: Take short fasts; eat more fruit and greenstuff, less starch and sugar and sweet foods, no meat, plenty of roughage to secure thrice-daily evacuations, drink more water, get a daily cool or cold bath, exercise regularly, wrap the throat in cold wet cloths and cover fully with dry flannel, at night; give hot and cold throat douches in the morning upon re- Take hot and cold gargles of plain water or salt water or boric acid solution.

Our _ passports had been taken to the police station where we had to call for them; and when we called we were made to understand in poor English that we could not get them until next day. That night I was too tired to do anything but sit in a deck chair, and rest, and watch the twinkling lights of Papeete, and feel the cool breeze. Next morning we got up early to bid R. C. good-by.

But we heard enough to realize we were in bad, and might easily run into something worse than insult. So I dug up 492 frances for each of the seven of us, and then it took two hours to get the passports. There are many reasons why Amer- icans should avoid’ getting off at Papeete, and this is only one of them. Later I met several temporary residents, who explained how cordially Americans were hated. It gave me a queer little shock. Since my first acquaintance with Victor Hugo and Dumas, I had idealized France and Frenchmen. Since the war, with the incomprehensible attitude of France toward the United States, my ideals have been fading.

What did she see in him?” The loungers on the porch of the Country Club shook their heads and asked each other the question as Florence Farley, the Champion, rode off in Hank Rodman’s car. Hank Rodman! Of all people! Now what do you suppose she saw in him? 20 Illustrations by Jay Barnum Florence was just back from a triumphal summer in Europe. She had won the French title and the championships at Wimble- don; she had been féted and photographed and written up until she was tired of being a_ celeb- rity, and had sneaked off for the week-end with the Jamisons in Westchester. That was where she met Hank. ° Not by design. He was’ up for just a short breather from the festering heat of the city to stay overnight with the Montgomerys,

If I get a good-looking mean like that I won’t go chasing tennis titles in Europe, believe me!”’ Florence was sunning herself on the beach, watching the crowd without enthusiasm and_ trying hard to keep away from tiresome persons who wanted “Just to shake hands with Our Florence and tell how proud we all were!” That stuff.... She noticed him first. Tall, dark, quiet, he was with a large and noisy party; with them and not of them, his mind distinctly and obviously somewhere else. Was he, she wondered vaguely, in love? No, he didn’t act like that. The more she looked at him the more he interested her, and men seldom did so. As C L111 , a rule she never noticed men; men noticed Florence. But he was different; his reserved aloofness fascinated her. She turned over in the sand. What was his name? “The big boy? I believe his name... what’s his name, Ann, that big chap with the Montgomerys? Oh yes, Hank Rodman, he’s a son of old Hank Rodman, the Kansas City power man. Jim can tell you all about him. But you better let him alone, - Floss, he’s business and noth- ing else. All he cares about is his job.”’ HE watched him a minute. He was sitting with his head between his’ knees; plainly enough his mind was not there upon the beach; he was thinking, working at that very moment. While she still looked he rose deliberately, and then wading into the water swam with slow strokes to the raft, climbing up and sitting upon the edge. With her usual deci- sion, Florence rose al- most immediately and walking down the sand waded out also. Soon she was sitting upon the raft beside him; close and yet not so close that he was unable to see her profile, the profile that had been in a hundred Sunday rotogravure sections during the past. two months. She stayed kicking her heels in the warm water; but he paid not the slightest attention; evidently he did not know her from the pictures. Yes, a bathing suit does make a difference, thought the Champion. Which does not mean that she was highly delighted at his lack of recognition. Then the Montgomerys’ crowd burst into the water with whoops and splashing and swam shouting out to the float, where amid cries and yelling a rough house followed and the man was pushed off the edge of the float into the water. Florence hastily rose and stood out of the way of the mélée.as he came puffing back to the float, and climbed up, water running down his face. Suddenly she felt herself seized around the waist by two large and powerful hands and tossed off headlong. She came to the surface, angry, spluttering, annoyed. He was beside her, cénfused, apologetic. “Oh please excuse me .. . I thought . .-. I didn’t 21

She hated that young man. “You... -you.....” Then a wave caught her slap in the mouth and she was speechless. In a minute or two she shook the water from her face and was swimming slowly toward the beach, while at her side the young man was keeping up with her easily, long strokes sending him ahead at almost every move- To this man she was a woman, yes, and an at- tractive woman, too.

She heard his stammered apologies vaguely. “Really, I’m terribly sorry, please excuse me. I hadn’t the faintest idea it was someone I didn’t know.” In a minute or two they were touching bottom. They waded together up the beach, her resentment vanishing as she listened to his voice. It was like his movements, slow, powerful, husky. She did not, however, like the water in her ears and the taste of salt in her nose and mouth. “You were certainly sudden, shoving me off.

It is simple logic to point out that the gangsters, the gunmen, the criminals of tomorrow are playing on the city’s streets today in neighborhoods of the same type. They will grow to youth detesting the poverty and sordidness in which they were brought up. But in reaching out to grab things in life which they want, or to shake off the shackles of their neighborhood existence, they still will accept the procedure prescribed by that childhood en- vironment. If that rule says rob, they will rob. It is says murder, they will murder. They have sufficient ambition to desire things, but the means by which they attempt possession is perverted, and hence dangerous.

Given one fair fight to the finish and they know what they may expect of a newcomer | in all other relations, his courage, his control of tem- per and wits, staying power, boastfulness or modesty, malice or good nature. Here is the story of the fight that first revealed Abraham Lincoln to a com- munity of onlookers—made him, too, the hero of the town. He was a newcomer in a little Illinois settle- ment—had a job as a clerk in a general store. His employer, proud of the boy’s strength, boasted that he could throw any man in the countryside. This was a boast that the _ neigh- borhood gang, who had a favorite champion, one Jack Armstrong, could not afford to pass by. Lincoln was big and husky. Could he fight? They proposed to find out. But Lincoln did not like what he ealled ‘‘wooling and pull- ing,’ and told them so. HAT to them was a sign of cowardice and they forced him to battle— Physical Culture for February, 1931 This fight established the manliness of Lincoln for the people of New Salem, Illinois, and the more they knew of him the more they were convinced that the qualities that he had shown that day they could count on in all their relations with him. . Two years later they had a chance to see how he conducted himself in a very different field of action. This was when Lincoln first asked for their votes. He was only twenty-three years old at the time and still a Jack-of-all-trades. However, he knew he was about the most popular young man around. E. was also, though perhaps his admiring Illinois friends did not realize it yet, about the most ambitious young man around. He wanted to do something important in the world and he wanted to do it in public life. On the face of ‘it such an ambition looked rather hopeless, even a little absurd, for he really had little to go on but the fact that people liked him and trusted him.

Often he forswore his vice and sometimes could stay away from the tracks for as long as a week. But somehow on this warm July day, without taking any resolution at all he felt a sudden surfeit of racing. The sky was an inverted Medi- terranean, full of towering sail, and from the trodden turf rose the smell of crushed grass. After a financial wipe-out like this his usual course was to circulate until he found some more fortunate brother willing to lend him enough to get him back to town and to pay for supper afterward. But this time some impulse made him skirt the crowd and the pari-mutuel booths until he came out to a cindered plain whereon were parked half a hundred motor coaches. On their windshields° ‘: were chalked destinations — “République,” “Place Clichy,” ““‘Wagram’’—and always the fare, “4 francs.” “Heh!” chuckled Whiz, examining his fortune. Four francs and a few sous over. “Not a chance!” He wandered on past, absently, crossed the race course by the public passage, and almost before he knew it, but without caring, was outside the park altogether. Passing through the crowd at the portal, Whiz bent his steps toward the Marne, to find a bridge, cross over and go up through Nogent to the Bois de Vincennes, and then traverse the length of that park to the Métro terminus at the city gate. Four miles, maybe, but walkin’ didn’t hurt you none. By Métro train he could get home for sixty centimes, leaving him enough for coffee and a roll-for supper and a repeat for breakfast. Then tomorrow he would tap a client for a little something in advance. It was not entirely the lure of the day nor disgust with racing that was drawing Whiz away from the track. One of his regular customers always gave him his read copies of a weekly American magazine to which he subscribed. Whiz was following the serial— a Western. It was a swell story, full of excitement, and with descriptions and everything that was pretty near as good as being back yourself. Whiz had seen the West. Maybe when he got home he’d start his health farm out there instead of at New York or even Pittsburgh, his old stamping ground. Three instal- ments of the serial were waiting for him in his room near the Place Clichy. Funny he’d be quittin’ after the first race, just to go home and read. But it was a swell story. ... He found both banks of the river crowded with people—young couples mostly, girls in light sleeveless frocks, their boy friends carrying their coats and dis- playing startling suspenders. “Fourth o’ July,” remem- Whiz crossed under the bridge and came to where he could see As he approached the dance group, he saw that one of the girls was looking at him— a dark, pretty girl bered Whiz.

Off to the east there was a bridge; and, sliding out of his own coat and throwing it over his arm, Whiz set out toward it, threading through the strollers on the graveled quay. No hurry; he had all afternoon. Funny about that river down there .. . no wider than the Little Beaver he had paddled in

Homesick when a kid, but look how famous! There was weeds underneath that would catch a swimmer’s ankles and pull him under. Lot o’ guys got theirselves drownded that way, during the Army. Right at the beginning of the War, when the boches almost got in to Paris, they said the water was red down this far. That was before he had come. He was in Australia, fighting in good matches but beginning to take it a little, when sea transport suddenly stopped and the cash customers with equal abruptness ceased . to find any more interest in prize-ring battling. Fly- weights, even champions, didn’t take down much money in those days; and when, some weeks later, a neutral Dutch boat poked a cautious nose out of Sidney harbor, Whiz was on her with a ticket to the . Cape and little else. South Africa was not yet **Gotta make this snappy. He’ll be just about warmin’ up when I’m all through.” ‘ taking the War so seriously as her sister do- minion. At least in Cape Town Whiz was able to’stgn for a couple of matches. One he won, in the other he took it, and out of both he netted enough to buy second-class passage on a British liner touching at Bordeaux. Then Paris and the hope of a fight that would pay his passage home. But the war had killed the game in Paris—and the ~ 99 last relief ship for stranded Americans had departed months before. But Paris’ had something else—jobs. American jobs. Various volunteer philanthropies’ were setting up headquarters and demanding personnel. Whiz attached himself to one or another of them until the Army came. Then he got in and the Armistice found him in the Argonne passing shell to a 75. It was in the Army championships afterward that he really took it. He could no longer make the weight of his proper class; and in spite of his skill, stout lads from Iowa and Minnesota battered him to the pulp which solidified in the form of his present features. “TI was a sap then, all right. Only think, I could of gone home for nothin’ ...on a trans- port. An’ I didn’t take it.. Heh?” Instead, he had made cronies in the Army clean-up services left in Paris. They found civilian employ- ment for him—watch- man, messenger—there was a girl or two, and he had a flash of old form in the ring— fought in preliminaries on big nights at the Vel’d’Hiver. But that didn’t last—he couldn’t stand the pace. Pres- ently he was not even a preliminary fighter any more and hunted matches in suburban halls that did not even break into the sporting pages. And one day he woke up to find that there were not only no more fights for him, but no more jobs either. The last of the hold-over Army units was going home. There was still left to him a talent—in his palms and thick forearms. Years of helping to train others and of being trained himself to make weights had made him an expert rubber-away of fat. He found that there was a call for that ability. So for some years he had been carrying a leather dispatch case full of liniment bottles through the central thorough- fares of Paris, a professional foe of American adipose tissue, touring or resident. HE Marne, which he crossed every time there was racing at Le Tremblay, often made him think about these things. His battery had frequently moved beside the stream, and now, for perhaps the first time since the War, he was walking along its bank. “I'd of had dough by now, if I’d of gone back. How long’s 1t been since [I left . . . jeez, sixteen years!” The bridge proved to be unavailable to him, since it was for railway trains only; but its central pier footed upon a woody island, and from this island were issuing strains of music. And there was some sort of

Whiz stood over his prostrate enemy white thing—a sign, more than likely—on one of the trees facing this way. Whiz crossed under the bridge and came out to where: he could see. It was a sign. Fete champetre. The -~music—accordion, fiddle, and drum—was coming from a dance pavilion, which was a mere thatched roof over a balustrade floor. Just beyond, under the tall mid-island trees and being part of this same festive installation, was some- thing of more interest to Whiz—an outdoor gymnasium with rings, trapezes, bars and ladders. And with an- other thing—a raised platform with posts at its corners supporting wrapped ropes and inside their closure two boys in athletic shorts going at each other with gloves, an active, coatless man hovering over them and below a standing circle of spectators. Almost at Whiz’s feet waited a flat-bottomed boat to ferry passengers over a Titan’s broad jump of eddy- ing water. Fare, two sous. Whiz handed over a copper coin and crossed. As he climbed the island steps, the music ceased and couples began coming out of the dance-pavilion gate.

Amateur contests— three rounds, he was informed. No purses—prizes. Sweaters. The referee opened a pasteboard box from the stack on the platform’s edge. Whiz examined the garment. A good one... cost maybe a hundred francs. “T have the envy of that sweater.”’ “Thou knowest to box?”’ “A little,” admitted Whiz, turning away his cauli- flower ear. “What weight dost thou wish to compete with?’ Whiz considered. ‘Fifty-two kilos.” LYWEIGHT,” pronounced the referee. ‘“Unfor- tunately that class is full. If thou wert disposed to battle against something more heavy .. . fifty- eight kilos, by example . . . weight of feather. . . It lacks us a contestant there.” “That is equal to me,” shrugged Whiz. ‘‘When?” “Right away.” Whiz kicked off his shoes and began to peel to his waist. The black-eyed girl was still watching him. He could stand inspection, all right. He hitched up his belt tight. Ready, he vaulted unceremoniously up on _ the vacant stage and preempted a corner stool.

Heh! Little bit different, this was, from being in the Garden, with a roaring, smoking carpet of faces on every side for as far as you could see in the haze. That jane kept giving him the eye; and Whiz, scornful of her escort’s scowl, boldly

He'll be just warmin’ up when I’m all through. That skirt’s sure gettin’ an eyeful. Heh! just gotta have that sweater.” The bell, and Whiz danced out in his stockings: That old footwork was still there... for a minute or two, anyhow. The rangy French lad came out more warily, circled his small antagonist, and then made a wild rush at him. Whiz slid under a haymaker, moved a left glove six inches, and stopped the momentum of his adversary dead, the contact point being the hollow place just below the lower end. of the sternum bone. ¢ at NS HE young boxer’s mouth flew open, a helpless look spread over his eyes, and he tot- tered. Whiz sprang forward and caught him by the elbow, vigorously massag- ing a red spot on the boy’s body. ‘““Cotirage, old post,” he inspirited him. ‘‘Courage! Thou wilt have it back again, thy res- 3 piration, in an all little instant.” When. the boy managed to draw in a croupy breath,. he turned without a word to his corner, picked up his towel, and climbed out of the ring. *‘Aubois, vanquisher,’’ announced the referee, which was as near as he could come to Whiz’s name. Whiz hopped to the ground and began to dress. As she went by, the dark-haired girl glanced again at Whiz over her shoulder. ‘‘Never you mind, sister,’” Whiz promised her men- tally. “I’m comin’ back.” He picked up his new sweater and made for the ferry he had seen from the ring on the Nogent side of the island. “‘Fourth o’ July, but with this mob out MG) se UL ii 1H} git UOTE AMR AU, ce $8 There was a patch of grass beside the road, and they sat gazing down the valley ol here they’s sure to be stores open,” he assured himself.

The girl shook her head. “I have fear,” she answered in a voice that drawled and was slightly hoarse. “‘My man is jealous of me on a holiday.” **Aw, say, be- gan Whiz in En- glish, and_ then turned to French. ‘*Listen, ‘thou speakest English?”’ “A leet-tle.

The girl’s recent escort, in a cheap suit of hard weave and light chocolate color, was glowering over him, his eyes through the half-closed lids hateful as a snake’s. : “Go ’way.”’” said Whiz, giving the youth a sudden push on the chest that sent him sprawling to the floor. “Can’t yuh see I’m busy?”’

The apache scrambled to his feet, foaming. But that was all. As competently as a squad of firemen arriving on the scene of a conflagration, four doughty waiters descended from nowhere upon the incipient brawl. Two seized Whiz’s assailant and ejected him by one exit. Two seized Whiz and rushed him out by the opposite gate, the girl following. “Go of it now,” whispered the girl fiercely to Whiz, when they were out- side. “You have made insult to him, and he is very dangerous. Go of it!” ““Aw, he can’t run me off this island.” “Go!” The whisper became a shout. “Attention . BEHIND!” HIZ whirled. The apache had come around the corner of the pavilion, running lightly on_ tiptoe. In his right hand was a long knife of that illegal type with interlocking blade, which the young ruffians of Paris hone to razor sharpness. Whiz dived for his own knife, a clumsy affair full of blades and tools. There was no time to open it—his adversary was upon him. At the last moment the runner leaped, so as to come down on Whiz from above. Whiz struck upward, and never in his cham- pion days had he put sweeter form and timing in a punch. Huis right fist, clenched around the closed and heavy knife, caught the descending apache under the chin. The youth’s head snapped back, his patent-leather toes flew out toward Whiz’s chin, his knife soared upward toward the branches. His body struck the ground heavily and did not move except for the knees, ‘which gave an uneasy movement or two. Whiz stood over his prostrate enemy, whose unconscious face was curiously mottled. “Curtains! Yuh got my sympathy though, old boy. They c’n all say the old k.o. don’t hurt, but ... heh! ... take it from me they ain’t nobody likes it.” The girl caught his elbow and began urging him to the ferry. “Come! They will kill thee for this.” Whiz looked around him. No danger. Some of the dancers had stopped and were looking out from the pavilion. The girl kept pushing him along. ‘Dispatch thyself! These are bad people, I tell thee, and thou art not of us.” “Oh, all right, kid, if it’s goin’ to make you feel any better. I’ll go,” said Whiz. “Quick!” she said to the ferryman, handing him five francs. “One is pressed.” Whiz was studying his knuckles . . . blood on them. ““Bay-bee, what a wallop!” They climbed the bank on the other side and looked back. A knot of islanders had now gathered around the vanquished. There was a voice: “Docteur! Un docteur!”’ Physical Culture for February, 1931 The girl grabbed his hand and hurried him away across the quay and then out of sight down a street lined with little ugly villas of muddy stone.

They climbed a long hill and on the plateau at the top came out upon a lotisse- ment—a new ° and cheaply —_ constructed suburban village of tiny houses, some of them mere huts of one room. There was a tiny garden and, in the corner, a cabin, or lean to. “Just like out West on a ranch,’ marveled Whiz *‘Now thou art going to see my baby,’ said Nanette. “Your baby? Jeez, you got one?”’ “One will see. I keep him out here.”’ She led on through the back streets until she came 33 to a somewhat larger cottage. They mounted steps and knocked, and at once a buxom young peasant woman with sun-faded yellow hair welcomed them into the principal room of the cottage, on the floor of which three grubby infants were playing together. “He goes always well, my Jear?” asked the girl, sitting down. _— _ “Always, Madame,” replied the by peasant woman. “The air is good here.”’ “Come, my little cab- bage,’’ coaxed Nanette, holding out her hand toward the youngest in- fant, a toddler of two years. The youngster came obediently but shyly, holding out a grimy little hand. ‘Bo’ zour,” he lisped, then pulled away his hand and ran and buried his face in the skirts of the peasant woman. “You do not come often enough, Madame,” the woman apologized. “I know ... only Sundays and fetes. Already he forgets me.” The peasant woman picked up the squirming child and put him on Nanette’s lap. The girl hugged her baby close. “But he is darling!’ she crooned in her hoarse voice. At this treatment little Jean squirmed and fretted protest. Whiz sought to aid the reconciliation. He came over and stooped down and took from his pocket a silvered cigarette lighter. The baby reached un- certainly for it and began turning it over and over in his hands. “Hey, lemme show yuh sum’m,” said Whiz, trying to get the lighter; but the baby only guarded it closer. “Give it to the monsier, Jeannot,”’ his mother bade him. “He will make thee a pretty feather with it.” Jeannot surrendered the briquet, and Whiz lighted it. The baby crowed and reached. Whiz snapped down the extinguisher and handed back the trinket, and little Jean once more gave it solemn examination. For an hour they played with the baby, and then Nanette said” it would be safe to go. She called in the yellow-haired peasant woman and handed her a hundred-franc note. “For the next half-month,”’ she explained. “Ah, Madame,” stammered the woman, “I regret. . . . but the life becomes always more dear.

lorm The Story So Far: HE ship carrying Captain Montague Turner back to England on sick leave from service in India was not more than three hours out of Bombay when Viola Norman, young, charming, and _ ob- viously very much disturbed, appealed to him to help her find her husband, John Nor- man, who had come aboard with her and who, she be- lieved, was somewhere about the ship. Her anxiety was so apparent that Turner started in search of him only to learn from the purser that Mr. Norman had not booked passage and was not on the boat. After pondering on a possible explanation of Nor- man’s strange disappearance he returned to Viola and, as tactfully as he could, told her of his fruitless search and of the purser’s report. Shocked though she was to get this news, she finally consented to have tea with Turner and then he learned from her that her husband’s action was not entirely unexpected. Married three years, life on a lonely tea plantation in Burmah had been exile for her with each year becoming more unbearable as her husband withdrew into a silence which nothing could penetrate. Stricken with the realization that he meant to desert her, she knew that return to India was out of the question and the thought of facing the future alone, friendless and penniless, terrified her. Turner was touched by her plight and did his best to reassure and comfort her but later in the evening, while strolling 34 RIFT Out of the wrack of the storm she came, bringing tts strife and tts fury into his peaceful EE Ce ree ear Illustrations by T.

PS | By Ethel M. Dell about the deck, he was horrified to come upon her just as she was about to ‘i throw herself over the rail into the sea. He was just in time to drag her, strug- gling and protesting, away from danger, and after she had regained her composure, he finally succeeded in persuading her to let him help her, to which she agreed on the condition that he would allow her to repay him. . With the understanding that they would’say nothing of her plight to their shipmates, they continued the voyage, Viola making a brave effort to forget her own troubles in ministering to her fellow passengers. Her special charges were the Rutherfords, children of the ship’s doctor, and to them she devoted all her time. It was not until the voyage was nearly over that Turner was able to persuade her to discuss with him her plans for the future. Brought face to face with reality she was terrified and in despera- tion confessed to Turner that she was expecting a_ child. Filled with sympathy and compassion for her, he took her in his arms, and for a fleeting moment he was swept away in the rapture of a kiss. Now Go On With the Story: F THE fires of bitter re- morse and_ unsatisfied -@ longing are the main characteristics of that place of torment which most men tersely dub “hell,” then Tiggie’s spirit occupied a spe- cially heated compartment therein throughout the _ re- maining hours of that storm- tossed night. That sudden gleam of moon- light had, as it were, re- vealed him to himself, and before it passed he had mas- tered the madness that had overwhelmed him. He had muttered something quite in- articulate, and had released the slight figure which he had so summarily seized. ‘““Let’s get below before another wave hits us!” had been his pretext. And they had gone below, she _ so shrouded in the high collar of Spot’s coat that even in the comparative calm of the saloon he had gained but the vaguest glimpse of her face. She had fled from him immediately, and he had gone straight to his own cabin to plunge headlong into the aforesaid hell of self-reproach and despair. He knew now what had _ happened to him—the. cause of the restless fever which had consumed him for so long. He knew now that this fire which burned within him, urging him to impetuous actions foreign to his whole nature, had been kindled by neither compassion nor a sense of duty, but, amaz- ingly, at the red flame of love. He loved her—that scrap of a girl who had drifted to him out of the void, a ship-wrecked castaway, and had taken refuge for a space on his raft. And though his love were madness there was no stifling it now. Whatever this thing might contain for him, Tiggie resolved finally, it should hold nothing but good for her. Though he might never quench the flame within him- self, he would keep it under for her sake, screening it behind a hedge of friendship which she should never again penetrate. He would serve her, somehow he would serve her, though his very heart broke in her service. | The next day was one of unbounded sunshine. They had left the:storm roaring behind them, and everyone

36 emerged in smiling relief to spend the last day at sea on deck. Tiggie, leaning smoking on the deck-rail, was waiting to see Viola, wondering if he could pos- sibly bring himself to greet her with that casual ease. of manner which he felt was so necessary. It was some time before he saw her, and then she was accompanied by Joyce and Jack. Little Joyce, though no longer an invalid, had the tired and rather aged look that succeeds a severe illness.

He spied Tiggie, and sent forth a yell that no one could have pretended not to hear. ‘Tiggie straightened himself and gave the party decorous greeting. “Uncle Tiggie,” cried Jack, “what are you going to do first when you get home?” ‘Will you have anyone to meet you, Uncle Tiggie?” asked Joyce. ‘““Granny’s going to meet us—p’raps.” “No, there won’t be anyone to meet me,”’ said Tiggie. “Oh, then you must come with us,” said Joyce maternally. “‘Auntie Viola is going to.

Tiggie stood helpless. It was Viola who gently overruled their remonstrances. ‘TT won’t take you very long, darlings, and when you come back we'll have some games. Run along now!

She stood beside him, her hands on the rail, looking down into the clear, sparkling water.

Of course, the world has long been forced to admit that here and there exceptional in- dividuals rose up who denied existing concepts in regard to male superiority. This fact might be brushed aside as mere accident or put down to the score of witchcraft as happened in more primitive civilizations. Joan of Arc was the first great feminist. The fact that she could lead an army into battle successfully disturbed every | existing notion of an orderly and regimented universe. And the passion of the world for orderliness sufficed to make her a martyr. Later leaders in the cause of equal rights have not suffered so severely and yet even such minor triumphs as a superb round of golf are indict- ments of the status quo.

eAmerica Now Takes Up Europe's © Famous Winter Sport and Erects ~ Mammoth Slide in Lake Placid Mountains An overhead view of a bob-sled with the crew ready for action (Acme News Pictures) Lee Trenholm ~ OASTING, as a studied sport, is increasingly popular in Europe. What was everywhere a haphazard winter- time recreation casually pursued by the young not so long ago is now an or- ganized matter of international adult in- terest. Its farthest development is found in the multi-manned bob-sled ridden by schooled Continental racing teams as fast as 70 miles an hour down long, tortuous and costly artificial runs designed by the best of engineering brains to try their utmost speed and skill and daring. A taste of the risk-tinged zip of this swift and spectacular sport is in store for these uninitiated United States. It will be afforded by the mile and a-half bob-run, first of its kind in America, built at a cost of $75,000 at Lake Placid, N. Y., for the III Olympic Winter Games there in February, — 1932. It should prove a taste, say connoisseurs of outdoor dishes, that will keenly whet our wax- ing appetite for winter sports.

Gently she turned the body over. Warmth lin- gered, but the old man was quite dead Six of them, but only two committed the murder: guess which were the two guilty— NGLER’S HANDS By Laura Miller ISS HATTIE WHITE had always maintained that if you knew any one thing thoroughly it would lead to adventure. She knew dry flies. They led her to trout streams and fishing lodges in remote mountain ranges, led her particularly to Seaver’s in the Cascade Mountains, and-there, when she least ex- pected it, into happenings which proved her contention. She had been casting an hour one afternoon, trying out flies on a calm stretch of river, when a thunder storm burst upon her. Great drops of rain spattered the stones at her feet. Wet feet did not annoy her, for she was an ardent angler. But wet shoulders were another matter. And wet shoulders she should have, if she remained any longer on the open ‘gravel bar. She reeled in her line, and looked about for shelter. Seaver’s log hotel was three miles away, down the: river on the opposite side. Behind her the woods of vine maple and alder afforded scant protection against a heavy shower. suspension bridge by which she had crossed. Near it, hidden in trees, on the same bank with her, stood Mr. More’s cabin. She decided to try for the cabin. It occurred to her as she walked rapidly to the head of the gravel bar, the grip of her fly rod firmly held in a sunburnt hand, that she knew Mr. More only by hear- say. She had herself never laid eyes on him. At. Seaver’s they said, “Oh, he’s old.

face wore nailed boots over the rounded stones. And suddenly, along the river, she espied shelter, a hollowed place under the high bank, protected still more by a fir log jutting over the stream. She gathered herself into the hollow, slipped off her creel, laid her rod carefully across trousered knees, and settled back into the dry obscurity to wait for the storm to pass. Miss White’s short, stocky figure fitted comfortably into the cavity. She took off her shapeless felt hat, let the wind ruffle her short gray hair. Her firm, unlined face, fifty years old, yet never showing it, was flushed from hurrying. With an angler’s appraisal she fixed quiet gray eyes on the water below. It ran deep and swift with huge boulders close beneath the surface, ideal lodg- ings for large rainbow trout. She decided to have a try at them. At Seaver’s they would cook the fish for supper if she got them in, cleaned, by half past six. She looked at her watch. It was exactly four o’clock, «*., Fifteen minutes later «. the thunder © shower passed on toward the high Cascades; _ but Miss White did not move. A. curious, pearly mist hung over the water. When it lifted she would cast. Then, as she waited, very distinctly, on the bank above her, she heard a tread. A ‘trail must lead’ there from Mr. More’s cabin. She was about to rise and Woodley’s Knole’s face was flushed puzzled frown with anger Hallam’s eyes were sliding from one face to another declare her presence when something was lowered over the bank before her. It was a small sack of stout ». linen such as banks use for coin. The person above was, of course, Mr. More. For some reason he was depositing gold nuggets in the deep water. Hattie White gasped and drew farther back, hoping to remain unseen. She had no intention of divulging this secret cache, and her discovery would put the elderly miner to the pains of finding another. Fascinated, like a fly -watching a spider swinging at the end of a thread, she watched the bag lowered. It was tied with a bit of fish line, a tapered, imported Hardy line, one of the olive-hued ones. Then —the man must be lying on the bank so as to drop the bag, unobserved, with- out a splash—two tanned hands and wrists appeared at the end of the line. The right hand, she noticed, was burned browner than the left. But what most as- tonished her was that they were not the gnarled hands of an old miner. They were neither calloused, nor knotted, nor wrinkled. The sack dropped. The hands were withdrawn. Footsteps died away. Miss Hattie White was left with all her curiosity centered on the per- sonality of the strange Mr. More. She caught her trout, four of them, from sixteen to twenty inches long. It was five o’clock when she 43

4A had them cleaned and found a path up the bank and on to the cabin. Since her fish were taken practically in his dooryard, she determined to offer one to Mr. More. The cabin surprised her. Gray weathered logs she expected, but not a sophisticated green painted roof and door. There was not a sign of life. She rapped smartly. The sound met with no response. She repeated the knock- ing, each time with increased vigor. Nothing stirred. Only the echo of her blows on the green door came back. A foreboding seized her. She pushed open the door. In a heap, fallen face forward on the floor, lay the body of a white-haired man. Hattie White was not a timorous woman. She strode forward, and knelt over the figure. A darkening purple bruise spread behind the right ear and down across the back of the neck. There was no blood. Gently she turned the body over. Warmth lingered, but the old man was quite dead. He had been struck from behind with a heavy Physical Culture for February, 1931 weapon. It must have been a quick, single blow. Hattie White felt herself in the presence of not one mystery, but two. The first was the identity of the murderer. ‘The second, and the most compelling to her notice then, was the identity of the man himself. Here was no low class English lout digging his sustenance out of the stubborn earth. Here, hidden away in an inaccessible region of the high Cascade Mountains, was a member of the fine old, uncompromising English aristocracy. Race showed in the noble forehead, the highbred nose, the shape of cheek and chin, the well- molded lips. What had brought him here? And why had he been killed? She glanced about the room. It was comfortably furnished. Books of history and philosophy lined one wall. A bust of Socrates lay overturned on the table. A roller-top desk stood unlocked and. ransacked. Everywhere were evidences of struggle, a confusion of chairs, rugs askew. ‘The old man’s right hand was clenched as if he had struck out in anger. Death had not relaxed it. Hattie White bent over again to examine his hands. They were, as she had subconsciously felt from the moment her summons remained unanswered, entirely unlike the ones she had seen dropping the nuggets into the river. The hands she had seen belonged to the man who had killed Mr. More. The murderer had made his escape while she delayed coming to the cabin.

This «AConth’s Personal —Message by Bernarr -Macfadden IFE is one continuous struggle for happiness. Every day we seek the joyous- ness of this exquisite contentment. And love plays an important part in the great drama of life. It is the one great desideratum. Without it life is dull, empty, sordid, meaningless. Whatever may be the immortality that is promised us by theologians, it is only through love that human life becomes immortal. It lives on indefinitely, generation after generation, only through this majestic lure.

There are no exceptions. There are men haters and woman haters; but they are abnormal. They are the product of that particular charac- teristic which often makes us hate that which we formerly loved. But why should we discuss love in a physical culture publication? Has it any- thing to do with dumb-bells, bulging muscles, scientific diet, or health-building in general? It has everything to do with these subjects! Did you ever hear of two invalids falling in love? Have you known of lovers who were weaklings? Are they not more frequently associated with vital, healthy specimens of femininity and masculinity? There can be no love light in dull, lusterless eyes. They must beam with vitality. They must have the aliveness, the sparkling effervescence that accompanies buoyant health. 3 Therefore, love and physical culture unconsciously become very close associates. Without the vitality, the buoyant vigor that comes with splendid health, love, if it does come into being, is transient in duration—often unwholesome, unprofitable. It is therefore sinful to be weak, and criminal to remain in this devitalized state when it can be remedied by intelligent body-building measures. When two vital specimens of humanity feel the mysterious lure of love’s call, the mating season has arrived. The Almighty’s omnipotent laws are operating. It is the first step in the process that immortalizes human life. It is only healthy, vital specimens who possess in a highly developed state the instincts that guide humanity in their love life. Love is meaningless and leads to nothing but tragedy when normal vitality and vigor are absent. If you have missed the delightful thrills that come with falling in love, you may find that your loss is due to the lack of vigor that comes with splendid health. If you have found love, if you have felt the exquisite ecstasies of its fulfillment, and this unalloyed happiness is slipping away from you, the loss may be due to your neglect in caring for your bodily structure. It may sound prosaic and commonplace to so closely associate health with love. Some will say that health is a mere physical phase of life while love is a mysterious force that no one can entirely analyze. And there is much truth in this contention as far as its mystery is concerned. But we must realize that the fascinating lure of the sexes is entirely a physical manifestation. It is the call of the mating instinct. And the more vital you are the more dominating this imperious demand becomes. The thrill that comes from the touch of the hand, the caress of the lips, is entirely physical, though love that becomes so intense that it makes two people believe their very souls are cemented, that one cannot live without the other, must indeed have much that is beyond the mere physical lure. _ But the exquisite ecstasies of their close association, the joyousness of merely being together, of “‘feeling’”’ the witchery of the light of love in each other’s eyes— it all must have a physical background. It is only under such circumstances that we can say that two hearts beat as one, that two souls commune in delightful harmony.

Arbuthnot Lane, Bart.,.C.B., M.S., F.R.C.S. World-Famous Medical Authority CCURING at all ages () and in both sexes, rheu-- matism, in its various forms, is one of the most prev- alent of all the maladies of civilization. It is a _ tragic disease—rightly feared by all —for it both kills and cripples. How often do we hear of a bright and happy child whose promising life has been stricken by rheumatism, and how often have we seen a man or woman in the prime of life racked and incapacitated by this same disease? The ravages of rheumatism exact an enormous toll in human suffering and in human wealth. Workers laid low by rheumatism are a heavy charge on industry and a serious drain on the financial resources of a nation. In England, it has been estimated that, one way and another, rheumatism costs the colossal sum of £17,000,000 per annum! Clearly, here is a social problem, the magnitude and urgency of which should claim the instant attention of all who ‘are concerned with national welfare, both material and physical. CONOMIC and health conditions are mutually de- pendent. That is one of the lessons which indus- trial medicine has taught the business world: Trade prosperity is based on’ efficient production and this cannot be achieved unless the workers are bodily fit and mentally satisfied. It is of the utmost importance, therefore, to employer and employee alike, that the greatest endeavors should be made to control and, if possible, to eradicate this scourge of rheumatism. Can this highly desirable object be achieved or is it beyond the possibilities of medical science? The answers to these questions will be revealed in the course of this article. At the moment, let us consider certain facts concerning the nature of rheumatism. In this matter, I shall be candid and say right away that, although we doctors know a great deal about the manifestations and methods of treatment of this disease, we are still in the dark on the subject of its M.D., Great Britain’s fore- most surgeon and President of the New Health Society final causes. This does not mean, of course, that we are ignorant of contributory casual factors—factors in the absence of which we have every reason to believe that the disease would not occur. If we were so ignorant, then all treatment would be empirical or directed .to the relief of symptoms and no rational methods of pre- vention would be available. ORTUNATELY this is not the case. We know, for example,that rheumatism tends to occur in the ill-nourished and in those who have an in- fection hidden in some corner of their bodies, and there is an accumulation of evidence which points definitely to the fact that rheumatism is es- sentially a preventable dis- ease and that, within the scope of our present knowledge, it can be prevented. Now rheumatism is a very complex disease entity. By scientific consent it has come to include a number of related conditions which have certain features in com- mon. For convenience, however, we may divide rheumatism into the acute variety as it affects children and young adults and the chronic variety more or less confined to those who have reached maturity. But before describing these in detail, the important ques- tion of predisposition to rheumatism must be men- tioned. Everyone knows that this complaint “runs in families,” in other words, that a rheumatic parent is liable to have a rheumatic child. This is an established scientific fact though the explanation is shrouded in mystery. Still it has a significant practical bearing for surely, if. we know that certain children are born with a susceptibility to rheumatism, we should be (Portrait by W. H. Campbell, from an Underwood €f Underwood Photo) Sir W. Arbuthnot Lane, able to adopt timely measures of protection and de- | fense. Herein lies the chief possibility for the pre- vention of rheumatism and I will dwell on this aspect of the problem later. Some children would appear to be doomed to rheuma- tism from their birth. They are not difficult as a rule to detect. Coming from a (Continued on page 138) Senet aE ASL tT An AN PA SD See Sen Eat:

I came to realize at last that the fundamental difference was too great. He likes to work with the soil— to make things grow.

Your Should Crs and Clasp the hands back of the head, then both push and pull against self-resistance from one side to the other OUR shoulders stamp your personality. If you don’t like it—that is, if your shoulders are not what you would like them to be—you can change them, for shoulders are particularly susceptible to improvement. Personality is closely and inevitably tied up with the type of physique. We too easily forget that. We commonly think of personality in terms of the spirit of the individu- al, forgetting that the body Stretch the arms high overhead with ‘fingers interlocked, thrusting upward and pulling backward vigorously “~~ With fingers gripped Achiad the back, pull apart as vigorously as you can ~ For Men: Good Shoulders Stamp You ata Glance as and Four-Square By Carl E. Williams expresses that spirit. We often get a sense of the personality of a stranger.over the telephone, or over the radio, but we get even that through the physical instrumentality of the voice. Physique is fundamental in personality, and you can never get away from it. Where men are concerned, good shoulders suggest strength and manhood; where women are concerned, they are a tremendous factor in feminine beauty.

W herein the Pirate Surrenders—and the Lady Takes the 4 The Story So Far: 4 HEILA CURRIE and her father, old P. J., wealthy copper magnate, were members of the gay winter 4 colony at St. Augustine. ‘Tony Jerome was acting 4 as secretary to P. J., and hating the work after his _active- life in the Aviation Corps, except that it gave him an occasional opportunity to be with Sheila, whom he loved. P. J. was paying court to Alicia Blake-Rice, a divoreée, and one of Sheila’s most ardent admirers was Philip Davega. | One night, Sheila and Tony went into a little curiosity shop—The Three Corsairs—and Sheila purchased .an old map which she planned to use in connection with a party her father was giving for Alicia. That night, Sheila was attacked and the map stolen. A few nights later, Tony and Sheila flew to locate the island and. while they were exploring, saw two men—one resembling Davega—climb into their plane and take off. Tony overpowered the man left on guard and seized a motorboat in which they made their way home. _ There was a fortune in ____ jewels in the gigantic box Howard Rockey At a dinner at the club, Tony and Davega quarreled, . and later Davega was found on the beach—shot to. death. After the inquiry, which disclosed that Davega had been connected with a band of bootleggers, Sheila insisted that they go on a cruise, in order to forget the tragedy. ‘Tony determined to keep a close watch for intruders and after securing the aid of Sasota, an old Seminole, and his sons, felt that it was impossible for - any danger to befall them. | aie A few days after they reached the island, Sheila proposed a moonlight bathing party at a beautiful lake she had discovered in the interior. The crowd was in high spirits and a shout of applause rang out as Sheila made a perfect dive. -Ten minutes later it was discovered that she was missing. The men dived again and again in search of her, and Tony assigned some of them to patrol the lake in canoes. Carrying torches that threw ghastly shadows across the water, they called and listened, hoping that Sheila might answer, but the only reply was the echo of their voices. Fifteen minutes, then half an hour passed, and — the hush of a terrible certainty settled over all of them.

The Indian’s face was expressionless, but suddenly he grunted as Tony sprang to his feet. Out of the darkness stepped one of Sasota’s sons, like a runner from the depths of a primeval forest. The old chief nodded as the boy spoke quickly to his father. Then Sasota drew Tony aside. — . ah a ‘“Tomaqua have plan,” he said guardedly. “You tell others we go make search.

He noticed that the Indian was already armed. ““Tomaqua think Mendoza try to get big money, Sasota spoke meaningly. ““‘We make big fool of him. You bring lamp that flashes.” Carefully Tony inspected the clip of his auto- matic. So, if Tomaqua was correct, his suspicion had been ‘right. Of course these men would be aware of Sheila’s father’s millions. Heretofore they had only been a bar to Tony’s love for Sheila. Now per- haps they would save her life if the plan of rescue failed. But if it were humanly possible, Tony meant to bring her back without the aid of ransom. Then he would have earned the right to tell her that he loved her. AREFREE, and enjoying every moment of the eve- ning, Sheila had waved to Tony just before she made her dive. She shot through the lake’s warm surface like a bullet toward its target. In the pleasant embrace of the water, she determined to stay under as long as she possibly could. It would be fun to torment Tony, she thought as she struck out. But suddenly it dawned on her that she made no progress. A swift current was carrying her—she had no idea where. Despite the exertion of all her strength, she (Continued on page 113) knife

Vw tor SALADS?r By Marion Rouse Budd ALAD greens are so refreshing in appearance, texture and flavor, when properly prepared, that | these good factors alone should give them a gratefully acknowledged place in your menu. Besides, they are rich in the vital dietary factors, a largess of minerals and vitamins so essential to health and well- being. The appreciation of lettuce is as old as any civiliza- tion. Galen, the Greek physician, called it the philoso- pher’s or wise man’s herb and we have always known that the Greeks had and maintained an unequaled ideal of health. With modern science demonstrating the “whys’’ of its health value, the consumption of lettuce in the United States has jumped several hundred per cent. in recent years. It is our chief salad ingredient. The original interpretation of salad was a mixture of Your Family Starved Vegetables crisp~ from the refrigerator, dressings newly mixed, combine in seasonable salads Ve “Cannot 1Ve Healthily Without This ich Source of —Min- and Vitamins erals raw green leaves and a spicy dressing. The combination salad of today, consisting of a hearty, filling mixture and rich mayonnaise on a leaf or two of lettuce (which frequently is not eaten), is not.a salad in the true sense of the word. But if the lettuce or other green is crisp and generously served and eaten, even the more elabo- rate salads fulfil] their function. These combinations may be of fish, shell-fish, eggs, nuts, fruit, meat, game or fowl, cheese or vegetables or mixtures of several of these foods. Whatever combination is used, the qualities of crispness and tartness should be retained. Cut celery is frequently an ingredient of all types of salad combinations because of its crispness. Cucumbers for crispness and for their tartness, as well as apples, are used in salad mixtures. Dressings usually furnish tartness but should never be vinegary.

Ira D. Garard, Ph.. D., Director, Physical Culture Institute of Nutrition ~ WHOLE-WHEAT Flour a now Standardized Bring Your Food Questions UESTION: Can you tell | me just what constitutes the dif- ference between whole-wheat flour and Graham flour? Answer: There is no difference; they are merely two names for the same thing. The word Graham (very properly spelled with a capital) refers to Sylvester Graham, who lived in New England about one hun- dred years ago and devoted much energy to advocating the use of whole-wheat flour. His teachings became so well known that people called the whole-wheat flour he advocated, Graham’s or Graham flour. The fact that Graham himself insisted on whole- wheat flour that was exactly what the name implied did not prevent compromises being made in the form of partial whole-wheat products. Such flour was often labeled with the name of the man who first insisted on the superior value of whole-wheat flour to any form of bolted or partial whole-wheat flour. The fact that genuine whole-wheat flour does not make as light or soft a loaf as white flour led many to the Readers’ Forum millers to put out types of flour containing some of the. branny portion of the grain, and yet containing a larger portion of white flour than the whole-wheat does. If the makers of such products reasoned the matter out at all, their idea probably was that the presence of the bran would give the brownish tint and coarse ap- pearance of whole-wheat and would satisfy those who were convinced that whole-wheat was desirable; the larger portion of white flour would make a lighter loaf and so the housewife would be better pleased with her baking. Another probable cause of these hybrid flours, that were neither whole-wheat nor white flour, lies in the nature of the milling equipment used to mill white flour. Roundabout methods of making imitations of whole-wheat flour resulted in products that the miller at least knew were not genuine whole-wheat. Out of this came the custom of labeling them Graham flour which term did not seem such an obvious misrepresenta- tion of the facts as the direct descriptive name, whole- wheat flour.

HE turned slightly toward him, but still she did not raise her eyes. “‘I think: we’ve talked enough,” she said. - Something. in her tone arrested him— a quality difficult to define which yet struck upon his senses like a note of Pmmora i ey , “What do you mean by that?”’ he said. “T mean,” she said very quietly, “I don’t» want to hurt you, but you must realize that what we were discussing two days ago is now quite, quite impossible.”’ “What do you mean?” he said again. *“T think you know.” “JT don’t know,” said Tiggie doggedly. “Then—” very slowly she turned and faced him—‘“‘T’ve got to tell you.

I can prove—” “Oh, it isn’t—that,” said Viola, softly interrupting. 4“Please—don’t talk like that! I haven’t made you understand, I’m afraid. And I don’t know that I can. But don’t be hurt about it!” “T can’t help being hurt.’ He spoke like a child, ingenuously. “I can’t stand not being trusted. I think you might be generous enough to give me another chance.” “Generous!” He did not understand her emphasis upon the word, but it showed him that in some fashion they were at cross purposes. “It’s just be- - cause I’m—trying to be generous that I feel I mustn’t. Can’t you see?” He could not see, and after a moment bluntly he told her so. ‘‘You’re trying to shut me out,” he said, “trying to turn down my friendship, all because—” he broke off. “Well, that isn’t being gener- ous anyway.” Viola sighed. “You don’t understand,” Drift ‘tentative cheeriness. your stateroom this evening, she said rather helplessly. “I think — you’re too—nice to understand.” That puzzled Tiggie completely, but it cheered him also. “Come, that’s a help!” he said. ‘‘Let’s go on from there!” She smiled her faint, fugitive smile. “It doesn’t get over the difficulty,” she said. “Oh, ‘I’m sure it does— ought to, at any rate.

And somehow those few simple words told Tiggie that the fight was over. He drew an enormous breath of relief. “Well, thank heaven for that!’ he said. “‘Now let’s get on to other things— ways and means. I'll come round to before dinner, and leave you my address. I shall want yours, too. I’m going to my sister in Norfolk for a bit, but I shan’t stay there long. Ill be able to—lend a hand when needed.” That was the right note to strike, he felt sure. Everything must be kept casual and easy at all costs.

Let it be a real help—not a millstone round your neck!” She smiled at that, somewhat enig- matically. ‘‘No, I shan’t carry it there,” she said. ‘“‘It’s—too precious.” He wished afterward that he had asked her what she meant, but at the moment he felt his position to be too precarious for intimate enquiries. *““Make use of it!’ he said. ‘‘And let me know when you need any more! [’m going to keep in touch with you.” He made the assertion with some mis- giving, but she accepted it with a sim- plicity that equalled his own. “Of course!’ she said. “I couldn’t pay'you back otherwise, could 1?” “Oh, never mind that!” said Tiggie, disconcerted. “Don’t you worry now!

He smiled ather. “That'll be all right, won’t it?” She smiled wistfully in answer. “Yes, quite all right, thank you,” she said. “Then don’t you worry!” Tiggie had just time to assure her before the _ nonsense!” said Tiggie with Physical Culture (Continued from page 36) children descended noisily upon them. It was over. In a blaze of spring sun- shine the great ship had docked and the long voyage was at an end. “It’s beastly saying good-by,” said Tiggie, but it seemed the only thing left to say. It was the breaking up of what had been on the whole a very pleasant party, and it was odd with what regret one re- garded the friendly leave-taking. Such at least was the thought in Tiggie’s mind as he bade farewell to one after another of those with whom he had whiled away the long hours since they had left Bom- bay. It had been a rather wonderful voy- age from his point of view. And, come what might of a situation that seemed quite hopeless, he would not have missed it for the world. What would Viola have done without him? Who else could have come to the rescue? Up to the moment of parting with her, these reflections hung distractingly in his mind. But when that moment came, he forgot all else, except that their voyage together was over and that he would not see her again for many weeks. *You’ve got my address,” he said to her hurriedly. ‘“You’ve promised to write to me. And you'll write soon,” he urged. “Say you will!’ “Yes, yes, I will,’ she promised in a soothing tone, as though he had been one of Spot’s children. | His hand held hers, clung to it. ““You’ll tell me everything,” he said. ‘I shall worry like the devil if you don’t.” She smiled at him—a small, passing smile that was to haunt his dreams for long after. “Oh yes, [Il tell. you—all there is to tell,” she said. “I hope you'll have a nice holiday with your sister.” Tiggie reached his destination late in the evening and found his brother-in- law, a lean, artistic man, awaiting him at the station. Harvey Gilmore was a born idler in whom now and then the spark of genius burst into flame, inspir- ing him to paint a picture which even the most severe critic had to admit was _ good. This happened only every two or three — years, and in the interim he fished or shot or lounged on some friend’s yacht. H*® reception of Tiggie was characteris- tic. “Hullo, my boy! You’re not nearly so rotund as-usual.”’ Harvey was always rude and personal, but he was broad enough to welcome a E similar treatment from others. Tiggle administered it forthwith. “Hullo, you old tramp!

Among them are the Micrococcus Catarrhalis, asso- ciated with head colds; the dangerous Staphylococcus Aureus (pus), Pneumococcus (pneumonia), and the Streptococcus Hemolyti- cus, so largely responsi- ble for sore throat. How important it is to help nature fight these germs by means of a mouth wash and gargle capable of swiftly de- stroying them. Fifty years of medical, hospital, laboratory, and general experience clear- ly prove Listerine to be GARGLE EVERY 2 HOURS THE SAFE ANTISEPTIC _ To guard against, to treat Sore Throat » earele Listerine-reduces mouth germs 98% the ideal antiseptic and germicide for this purpose. It is non-poisonous, safe to use full strength in any amount. At the same time, it is one of the most powerful germicides known when used undiluted. Within 15 seconds it kills the Bacillus Typhosus (typhoid) and even Staphylococcus Aureus (pus), the germ generally used to test antiseptic power because of its fesistance to germicides. | Recent exhaustive tests show that full strength Lis- terine, when used as a gargle, reduces the number of germs in the mouth 98%. Thus, the mouth is left healthy, fresh, clean. Under all ordinary conditions of health, the morning and night gargle with Listerine is deemed sufficient. But when you are coming down with a cold or sore throat, it is wise to gargle with Listerine every two hours in order to' combat the swiftly multiplying germs.

Janet was busy “shutting up” when they arrived at the farm, and came to meet them dressed in peculiarly unbe- coming yellow-brown overalls, her gray hair blowing around her weather-beaten * face. - 3 “Well, Tiggie!”’ was her greeting. “So here you are again! And still single! — Aren’t you the limit?” *“Outsize!”’ said Tiggie cheerily. “And ‘how are you, Janet?” He did not offer to kiss her. Janet did - not believe in outward demonstrations of affection. She gave his shoulder a pat of welcome, which was much from her. *You’re not looking up to much,”’ she _ remarked. “Where have you all gone to? I don’ t think “Tiggie’ suits you any > 9? more. I shall call you ‘Montague. “T know,’ said her husband. “‘He’s looking positively ethereal.

But he knew even while he spoke that the old homely atmosphere had com- pletely lost its savor. The dream was over, and the stark reality to which he ‘had awakened was the most barren desert he had ever known. | {* was not Harvey’s, custom to allow | anyone inside his studio which he kept rigidly locked at all times. -_ Only once before had Tiggie entered it, and that occasion had been a revelation to him of something which he felt to be beyond his comprehension. Most people, - including Janet, who was_ never per- _ mitted inside her ‘‘Bluebeard’s Chamber,” would have at once pronounced the owner and creator thereof as mentally unbalanced. But Tiggie was too humble to make so arrogant an assertion. ~ Tt was 2 strange den into which he was ushered the morning after his arrival. The studio .was really a barn of great antiquity, in the oak-beamed roof of which Harvey had had inserted an enormous skylight. There were pictures everywhere, but not one of them was uncovered. Some were stacked against the walls, others lay upon the floor. Harvey composed his long form in a chair even more dilapidated than the one he had given to Tiggie, and gave himself up to the full enjoyment of his pipe. “It’s a funny world, Tiggie,” he re- marked presently. “ Curious how very little there is in it that’s worth having! We're built to desire the purest rubbish and to kill ourselves to get. it.” “Do you always get what you want?” asked Tiggie. _ “Always,” said Harvey complacently. He got up with the words and wandered across the studio toward a pile of can- -vasses in a far corner. or three with a hint of impatience. SSN. ow Tl show you ae sort of foot ~ said. .

It’s the sort of thing you might develop into vice or innocence, though it’s neither one at this stage. Sometimes I call it which is hackneyed, and some- times ‘Aquamarine’ —which, anyhow, is original so far as I know.”’ “Good heavens above!’ said Tiggie, and sat there in’ unbreathing silence. for so long that Harvey presently looked round at him. ““What’s the matter, Montague? Got a fit or something?”’ | AP IGsie was staring round-eyed from one to the other of the studies spread before him. They were mere impressions, dabs of color crudely flung together— here green, there blue, and here and there that incredible tint which is neither one nor the other but a sublime mingling of both. In each case the portrayal was that of a woman, a dancer exquisite of form and outline, with a grace of movement that was superb. There was a suggestion of wings in one of the pictures, and in an- other was an impression of the face alone, shining as it were through water. It was upon this that Tiggie’s attention finally remained focussed. — “Well?” said Harvey at *“What’s the verdict?” ‘““None!”’ said Tiggie. He spoke slowly, with a_ sort of suppressed violence. “Tt’s—it’s—you’ve got to make a decent thing of this. It’s like someone I know. Don’t play with it, Harvey!

Then, with abrupt resolution, he named his condition. ‘“‘Just this,” he _ said, “that you take me to her.”’ -Tiggie’s answering laugh had a note of You're asking for the moon.’ “T’ve travelled all the\way from it in an inner pocket. “Best thing possible!” During © the. days that © followed, Tiggie yearned for sence could so affect him. times when he was even ashamed of his wild desire for her.

[ve got to make a phone call,” he said. «© “What the dickens do you want to phone for?” questioned Harvey in as- tonishment. ““Damn it, man! clear off like this. We've come here mainly for your sake, though you may not realize it.’” _ Tiggie stopped short. There was a ring of sincerity in Harvey’s voice that could not be ignored. “Oh, we’ve come up for my sake, have we?” he said. “All right. But Ive got to telephone.” Tiggie hunted up a telephone booth and left Harvey to wander about out- side. To his brief demand for Mr. Grierson a voice asked his name and _ presently informed him that Mr. Grierson would speak to him immediately. An- other pause, and then a man asked, “Is ’ that Captain Turner?” “Speaking,” said Tiggie. -- Mr. Grierson?”’ “Yes. What can I do for you?” The voice had a curt snap to it that caused Tiggie to stiffen almost involuntarily. He answered with grim precision. “I want a word with you, please. Can I have it if I come round at once?” He almost expected the answer, though he could not have said why. “Afraid not—I’m just leaving.” “Well then, how about toniatsew?” - He heard a sound like a sardonic laugh ~ eut short. Then the voice spoke again. “Very well, Dll see you.at ten. Good- by!” ; “WHAT are you looking so grim about?” asked Harvey as Tiggie - Tejoined him. “I’m very angry,” replied Tiggie. Harvey grinned. “What about?” “Never mind what about!” said Tiggie, “composing himself with an effort. “Oh, come on then!” said Harvey, and took command of the expedition ‘forth- with. The hotel to which he conducted Tiggie was scarcely more than a public-house - situated up a side road on the river side of the Fulham Road. It smelt of stale liquor, but as it had some pretensions to cleanliness, Tiggie thought it better to suppress his feelings for the time being. The next morning, however, he re- garded the squalor of his surroundings 99 me with wholesome distaste and determined -to escape from them at the earliest pos- sible moment.

Tiggie sat down facing him. “Now— about this letter of yours—’’ He was coming to the point with cheery ex- pedition, but the lawyer stopped him. “You must please understand, Captain Turner, that unless you have any further claim upon my client, I cannot proceed with the discussion.”’ Well, you can’t throw me out before you've heard what I’ve come to say,’ said Tiggie, undaunted. “Your check, to begin with—I’ve no claim whatever to that.” “No claim!’ Mr. Grierson’s cold eyes fixed him with a certain ferocity. “Do I understand that you never advanced that sum to—my client!’ “Did she tell you I had?”’ Mr. Grierson paused, considering his reply. certainly been given to understand that the sum*you received from us was owing to you.” _“T see,” said Tiggie. “And now—on my assurance that it is not due me—what are you going to do about it?” Mr. Grierson leaned back in his chair. “IT shall have to communicate with my client,”’ he said finally. “Or put me in touch with her,” said Tiggie. Mr. Grierson’s gray brows drew to- gether in a thick bushy line. “That,” he said, “‘I am unable to do.”’ “And why?” said Tiggie. Mr. Grierson looked exasperated. “I am sorry,” he said, stretching a deliber- ate hand toward a bell on his desk, “‘but I do not see the point of continuing this interview.’ “There 1 you are wrong,” said Tiggie, as his hand preceded Mr. Grierson’s and covered the bell. . “There is quite a lot to. be gained. Shall we come to the point, sir? Either you put me in touch with Mrs. Norman and name your price, r I go straight to a private detective who will do the job quite as efficiently.” A very ugly smile crossed Mr. Grier- son’s face at this bold move. “So,” he said, “‘you think you can bribe me!” “JE YOU like to put it that way,” said Tiggie, still protecting the bell. ~The lawyer leaned back in his chair and surveyed him thoughtfully. “‘Per- haps,” he said at last, “it would be simpler if I told you something about Mrs. Norman—as she is known to you— of which you are not aware.” “Go on!” said Tiggie. Mr. Grierson picked up a pencil and began to make a very. precise line of dots on a'pad. “My client,”’ he said, “has been known to you as Mrs. Norman only?”’ “Correct,” said Tiggie. ““Well—” very slowly came the word from lips like those of a mask— “I can- only tell you, with regret, that my client has no claim whatever to that title, She is not a married woman, nor—I i imagine— ever likely to be.” “What?” The word burst from Tiggie involuntarily, but in a moment he shad | himself. in. hand. “Do you mind,” he said, ‘‘telling me exactly what you -mean?”’ 2 pr | mean,” * said Creron ‘that though ~ ““Well,”’ he said at length, “I have — os Physical Culture. at different times in her career more than a one man may have claimed possession - of her, she has never belonged to anyone in particular for any length of time.” Tiggie sat as one turned to stone.

I should advise you to take your check and. put the matter behind you.” “You can keep your blasted advice till I ask for it,” said Tiggie furiously. “And your damned lies too! As for your check—”’ checked -himself. “No, Ill return that to her personally—or at least satisfy myself that she is in no further need of it.” ‘You can do the last before leaving here,” observed Mr. Grierson coldly. “The lady in question is in no further need of your help because she is now under my protection—by her own desire.” “Yours!”’ said Tiggie’ hoarsely. Mr. Grierson took up his tale with the same ironical composure as had charac- terized him throughout. “I have de- scribed her as my client. She was origi- nally my ward. She left me in a fit of girlish pique some years ago and _ pro- ceeded to destroy herself. Now, at the end of her tether, she has returned to me to ask my help. Being her step-brother, I have not refused it.” “Great heavens!” said Tiggie slowly. It had come like a final, smashing blow between the eyes.

In the “lingo” of. the dietitian, bohydrates,; fats, and proteins supply the energy; proteins, minerals and water supply the building material; and water, minerals and vitamins the regulating material. Most foods have something to contribute of all these needed elements and contain some energy in the form of carbohydrate, fat, or protein, some of the chemical elements needed for body build- ing and one or more of the vitamins, which are the chief food regulators of body functions. Meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, the lezumes and some nuts are classed as protein-rich foods but none of these foods except possibly meat and fish are in- terchangeable. Each has something valuable to contribute other than. its protein which the others do not supply and so all should be included in the bal- anced diet. Milk is considered an im- portant factor of safety in all normal diets because of its calcium and vitamin content. A quart a day is needed for each child and at least a pint, preferably a pint and a half, for each adult. This may be taken in any form such as in soups, entrées and desserts, on cereal or as a beverage. Eggs, like “milk, contribute building and regulating food elements which other- wise are apt to be insufficient in the diet and are therefore a valuable food: one egg a day in some form is desirable for most people. A portion of cheese, about one ounce, and the equivalent of four ounces of raw lean meat together with the small amounts of protein present in other foods completes a generous but not too generous supply of protein for the average person over ten years of age. N abundance of both raw and cooked fruits and vegetables are essentials in healthful meals. ‘These foods are the chief source of supply for most of the minerals, vitamins, water and roughage which the body needs. The grains, and particularly whole grains, are splendid sourees of energy and building material and good sources of some of the regulating substances. In the following menus it is possible to make substitutions, vegetable for vegetable, fish for meat and so forth according to market conditions. Every dish may have a substitute without “‘un- balancing” the menu if an article of similar type is substituted. (A chart entitled ‘““Foods—Their Char- acteristics and Place in the Diet’’ pre- pared by the Institute includes more de- tailed information on this subject and is free upon request.) In planning February menus there are three oases of festivity, the birthdays of Lincoln and Washington and the cele- bration of St. Valentine’s Day. 'Lincoln’s birthday is not necessarily an occasion for gaiety. In school days the log cabin background and the Civil War association make it a day given over to literary contests, debates and declama- tions more: fitting than a carefree cele- bration. ~ Hilarity enough may follow two days later when sweet sentiment and Car- . - ; Physical Culture page 61 slightly malicious missives pack mail q boxes and pop out of folded napkins, or 2 from under our pillow or from the sacred — pages of our school “‘Caesar” dise Lost.” The third holiday gives scope to the a imagination, and exploits in truth telling and its opposite; costume parties and all sorts of stately or madcap fun may pack this day to overrunning. Basket-ball games and snow fivhts, the grown-up tea parties indoors, provide the hostess with holidays memorable to her guests and satisfying to herself. Parties for grown-ups as for children — mean that food must be served either as light refreshments or luncheon, tea, dinner or a fireside supper. Appropriate decorations increase the sense of cele- bration and festivity and the _ food in color and shape can sometimes con- tribute a great deal to the general effect © desired for the special holiday. A Washington’s birthday high tea or supper planned in the Institute may be served before the fireplace on a_ table featuring tall candles, tricorne hats, red-white-and-blue shields and snappers, with set places for a cosy four. arrangement for six may be substituted using the same table against the wall, leaving the center of the room free for — bridge tables.

SAUERKRAUT a “normalizer’’ ‘The professional radio announcer must be very careful in choosing subjects for broad- casting. Especially is this true if we wish to interest women. The announcer must be ‘familiar with his subject, know its worth and be prepared to answer many questions. I have chosen many subjects in my long experience. But I have a favorite, for I have studied the authorities—a favorite which never fails to excite interest and bring many responses. “And there are reasons. That favorite is Sauerkraut.”’ This tribute to this luscious food, fast becom- ing a national dish in America, was paid by -Ellen Rose Dickey, famous feature program voice of various stations. “As a result of a short series of radio talks follow- ing my study of the subject, added Mrs. Dickey, I received thousands of inquiries for the little booklet, ‘Sauerkraut as a Health Food,’ issued by the Packers’ Association at Clyde, Ohio. Other thousands heard me tell of its merits. ~~ “And Sauerkraut is one of the finest foods to be served on our tables. I know whereof I speak. It is what one might call a‘normalizer.’ That means if you - are too stout it will help you to lose weight and if you 4 & i ted are too thin it will help build up your body. It will - give yqu that trim, stylish figure that every woman, and man too, wishes.to possess. Its normalizing ef- fect is indeed wonderful, but not suprising, as it has bulk for peristaltic action; vitamins for growth; mineral salts so essential for bones and teeth; and lactic ferments to keep the intestinal tract free from disease producing germs. Yes, Sauerkraut is a normalizer. ‘‘Have you tried any of the 50 new ways of cooking ‘Sauerkraut? Let me give you one of my favorite recipes. Try this ‘Sauerkraut Roast’ which takes the place of a main meat dish: “Two cups of Kraut required, one cup of ground peanuts, a minced onion, a cup of canned tomato pulp, a cup of grated American cheese, the same quantity of bread or cracker crumbs, a tablespoonful of butter—and your own favorite seasonings.

In the autumn and winter the botanical func- tion of the expanded fleshy root or tuber is to serve as a food storage reservoir for the plant’s next season of growth. The tuber may function as a seed, as in case of the potato, or the main root stalk may merely be a storage of nutritive material to be drawn on for a later growth of seed stalks as in case of such plants as parsnips or turnips. Whether we eat the leaves, the stalks and stems, the seeds’ and fruit, or the roots of plants, the primary source of the food substance is the same and was built up into its varied forms from the simple beginning of sugars formed in the leaves of plants, acted upon by sunshine. ‘The root vegetables are often thought of and often spoken of as starchy vegetables. But the only one of the group common in the temperate zone which is essentially a starch-bearing food is the so-called Irish potato—a native of the American continent in spite of its Celtic name! It isn’t a root but a tuber, or an expansion of an underground stem. The sweet potato contains a mixture of starch and sugar. When grown in the tropics, the starch and sugar are in about equal proportions; when grown in the north, this potato contains about twice as much starch as sugar. The parsnip. contains about equal parts of starch and The other three most common root vegetables, beets, carrots and tur- nips, contain practically no starch. That the beet is a sugar-bearer should be well known to all of us, since one kind of beet cultivated for its sugar content is one of the two great sources of the world’s sugar supply. Most of us would Wee Continued from page 63. also recognize carrots as containing sugar for they have a sweet taste. But the turnip, especially when white, would be suspected by most of us of containing stareh instead of sugar. However, there is no starch in it. - The total calories in these common root vegetables is given as follows: Calories Pounds for ~ per pound 2,500 calories Sweet potatoes. 558 45 Irish potatoes... 378 —6«66.6 Paranins ;: * o as this out during the war when turnips — : often became an important part of the — ration. bad reputation of turnips in war-time Germany.

February, 1931 ounce of fat contains two hundred and fifty calories which is more than the calories in a pound of the more watery of these vegetables. An ounce of fat to a pound of vegetables is not excessive for ordinary cookery yet it may double the fuel value of the food as served and halve the quantities that would be needed to make up a weight-maintaining ration. : Such fat-containing foods are all right if one needs the fuel energy, but they play havoc in a reducing diet. It is the customary added fat, even in mashed a reputation as a fattening food. Another common misconception con- cerning these underground vegetables is that they are inadequate or incomplete foods containing nothing but carbohy- drates and are lacking in other nutrients. Especially are they considered as lacking in protein. But laboratory analysis has proved that in twenty-five hundred calories of beets there are eighty-seven grams of protein; in the same amount. of turnips, eighty-three; potatoes, sixty-six; parsnips, sixty-two; carrots, sixty-one; and sweet potatoes, thirty-seven. The distinct virtues of this group of goods are their generous mineral content. The value of the root vegetables as cal- cium, phosphorus and iron producers cannot be slighted: by us when we plan our health menus. In the following table the needed amount of each mineral is represented by the figures 1.00 as a basis from which to judge the comparative worth of the separate foods. op) fon) ket 2D CO oO SS Phos- Caletum phorus — Iron OS nee te Bie 4: 1.91 2.60 arrows... 5.39 2.29 Parsnips . <..<.:. 3.96 2.

It contains about as much phosphorus as the richest of these vege- tables, but the calcium in this grain is less than the lowest of the vegetable calcium suppliers. It is: this relative excess of phosphorus over calcium that is chiefly responsible for the grains being acid-forming and the vegetables having the effect of increasing the al- kalinity of the blood and body fluids. The turnip, which was at the bottom of the list on total food value, rates the highest in its calcium contribution. Meat like bread has an excess of phos- phorus and a deficiency of calcium. Eaten with bread it is a case of the blind leading the blind. But the lowly turnip in combination with meat would be a case of the lame man riding on the blind man’s back to their mutual advantage. Vegetable meat stews have their dietetic justification besides satisfying a hungry man’s winter appetite. As. a source of vitamins the root vegetables rank well above the average run of foods, though only reaching the highest ratings in a few instances. Beets, which rank well in other nu- tritional tests, show lower vitamin ratings throughout.

for. 74 in that their vitamin ratings are higher than those of white turnips. There are usually given a triple rating under vita- min C and perhaps also have more vita- min A than the white turnips. Sweet potatoes also rank higher than white potatoes. Both of these distinctions are in line with the general rule that vitamin A seems to be associated with yellow coloring in foods. (The same contrast is found in yellow versus white corn.) Present laboratory discoveries indicate that vitamin C ratings are lowered but not destroyed by cooking. Potatoes boiled for fifteen minutes still give a double plus rating on vitamin C. It is a recorded fact that there have been epidemics of scurvy in Ireland in years when the potato crop was a failure and the people substituted cereals for potatoes in the diet. Since there is no reason to believe that the Irish ate their potatoes raw, this is practical evidence that cooked potatoes are still a good enough source of this vitamin. | There is no need in a diet containing raw fruit and raw leafy salad vegetables / for the use of any of the root vegetables in an uncooked form. However, where leafy salad material is scarce, any of these root vegetables which we _ find palatable in the raw state may be used as salad ingredients. Their crispness is a welcome addition to the salad and when grated or slivered so that they are well flavored with the seasoning and dressing of the salad, almost any raw vegetable is delicious.. Carrots are probably the most acceptable of the list, many people preferring them raw. Very few people care for either kind of potatoes raw, but all the other raw root vegetables find enthusiastic users, raw sugar beets among - the favorites. “THE last dietetic qualifications of the root vegetables to be considered is that due, not to their nutrients, but to their “bulk.” By this we mean both the cellulose or fiber and the natural moist condition or water content. These two factors together serve to give a dis- tinctive action in digestion which can hardly be rivaled by any type of dry Q The Charm of Culture on his knowledge is just one long yawn. On the other hand, years ago I knew a young Irishman who ran away from home when he was fourteen and whose academic education was meager. He landed in this country, sold newspapers and afterward served his time, first in the Navy and later the Army. He was ~ still in one branch of the service when I met him. A more fascinating conversa- tionalist I have never met. It is possible that his grammar was not of the purest, but he could inform any story he told you with his colorful and eager person- ality. He got so much out of life! He read a great deal, was quite con- versant with politics and the wide general situations in which this exciting world finds itself and he had a poetic and stimu- lating imagination as well. He also had the most graceful and absolutely inborn good manners that any one would wish Therefore I feel that he was—and is—an entirely cultured person, according to my standards, while the first man of whom I told you was merely a dullard with a lot of education and undigested advantages. ULTURE is not a matter of education nor yet a matter of travel, although | these advantages, properly used, help a good deal. A person who lives in one - small town all her life and has had nothing more than an ordinary schooling may, nevertheless, be what I consider a per- fectly cultured human being. Reading contributes amazingly. I do not mean by this just reading everything and any- thing, nor taking a library course, nor reading things because people tell you to. -I mean keeping up with current maga- zines, current fiction, biography, history and philosophy in an amount commen- - surate with one’s interest in the subjects, one’s time and strength. To pick up some recommended book because it is talked about and to read it without either liking or understanding it will not add to f your sum of knowledge. It is better to read a few books a year and find them exciting and stimulating and compre- hensible than to read a hundred and for- get ninety-nine of them. As far as travel is concerned, if you cannot travel by sea, land, or air you can travel in books; and recently there have been very fascinating books written which far surpass the old’ style travel books. These, in the modern manner, give to the reader the very soul of a strange country rather than the bare bones of geography or history. Current events are available to anyone who cares to read one or more good newspapers intelligently with an eye to something beyond comic strips and lurid headlines. Politics and world events are brought to the reader in this way and general information is a part of culture. But culture goes deeper than a knowl- edge of books and lands and world hap- penings. Culture has an integral part in human relationships. People who are really interested in other people, not from a standpoint of mere social contact, or backstairs gossip, but because human beings stir their interest and their pity, are interesting people in themselves. Culture means religion in its broadest sense and an abiding faith in humanity. It means, too, sentiment but not senti- mentality; and a sense of humor which does not stop at the custard-pie-throwing stage. ‘ Culture means good manners. Not stilted manners, but the sort of inborn courtesy which is from the heart. This sort of courtesy means tact. It means that the person possessing it is not narrow nor intolerant nor prejudiced. It means a live-and-let-live sort of standard, and it means that no person possessing it would willingly wound friend or stranger. Culture means care of one’s personal appearance. It means ease in all social contacts. It means, at least to me, a complete freedom from the petty snob- *ments. _ vegetables, such as cabbage, Brussels q a ee Physical Culture — concentrated food.

King Winter’s vegetable program is a generous one! Continued from page 56 bery which seems to afflict this day and age. It means an open mind and the realization that we can learn something from everyone regardless of their so- called “social” standing. It means a complete desire to set the other person at his or her ease in conversation; and it means, above all, an interest in life and — an eagerness to live life to the full, in — the best way possible. : True culture, then, is not limited to one phase alone nor to a sort of intel- lectual pastime. It means the beauty culture of health and body; the mental culture of reading; the culture of general _ information; and, above all, the instinct _ for friendship, for tact and kindliness and a vivid and vital interest in life itself. HETHER you are educated in the university sense or lack all academic knowledge, whether you live in a big city or on a farm or in a village, whether you have the happy advantages of travel or have never been twenty miles from your home in your life, whether you are Satur- day’s Child, working for your living, or a person of means and leisure, doesn’t really matter. You may possess true culture in any situation and in any walk of life. Friendliness, tolerance, an open and eager mind and a heart big enough to accom- modate all humanity will encompass this for you. And, believe it or not, this sort of culture means charm and magnetism and personality. . Of Personal Interest QuEsTion—I am a girl seventeen years old and would like to know if you'd answer the following questions for me, please: (a) Does standing a long time increase bow-leggedness? What are some good exercises for bow-legs? (b) I have a habit of blinking and cannot overcome it. I have large greenish-brown eyes and thick, long black lashes, but this blinking is what spoils my looks. I don’t want to

ANSwER—(a) I do not think that standing will increase the tendency toward bow-legs. You have not told me how bad this defect is. In any case, the present-day fashion of long skirts is very helpful; also darker stockings which are in the mode. Wear the darker shades and do not draw attention to your legs by light stockings or too fancy shoes. If you will send a stamped and addressed envelope, we may be able to find some exercises for you. (b) I wonder if you tire your eyes under artificial light? A good eye-wash to be used in an eye-cup, fresh for each eye, and the cup kept sterile, is one heaping teaspoon of boric acid dissolved in a pint of boiling water. Use, cool or tepid, twice a day. But, in the meantime, it would be wise to have your eyes examined. (c) A bleach to be harmless must be slow. Buttermilk or lemon juice or sponging the skin with a solution of peroxide after washing with an alkaline soap and warm water may help. But if your skin is tender or dry, do it with caution and always apply a good cold cream afterward. QuEsTION—I am a married woman nineteen years old and I would like to reduce. I am five feet one inch in height and weigh one hundred and thirty- five pounds. My stomach and hips seem to be the largest part of me, and the calves of my legs. I will certainly thank you for advice. What should I weigh? —D. D. C., Texas. ANSWER—Drastic reduction by diet or exercise is always inadvisable save under the care of a physician and at your age it is better to be overweight than under- weight. I do not know the size of your bones, which one must take into consid- eration, but I should say that a correct weight for you would be about one hun- dred and eighteen. In your diet avoid too many fats and starches, too many sweets, such as pastries, and fried foods. Eat plentifully of greens, raw and cooked vegetables, salads and whole-wheat bread and do not eat between meals or nibble at candy. Large abdomens can be cor- rected by exercise. Stand, the arms out before you, and bend to one side, one arm down, the other above your head; then repeat to the other side. Stand erect and try touching your fingertips to the floor without bending the knees. Lie on your back on a mat on the floor, arms above your head, and raise yourself to a sitting posture and touch your toes. For large thighs, stand with hands on hips and raise first one leg and then another straight out in front of you and then try it raising each leg to the side. Kicking exercises while lying on the floor are very good; pedal the legs as if on a bicycle. The same exercises are good for large calves. A stamped addressed envelope will bring more details if you wish. Out- _ door exercise is excellent as well—walking, swimming, playing games. Watch your diet and your eliminations. Do the indoor exercises only ten times apiece at first and gradually increase them but do not get overtired.

@ Tracking Down the Common Cold cent. reduction among the students tak- ing the treatment last year. Proper diets are also recommended, as well as correct ventilation, frequent bathing, and suffi- cient hours of sleep. So far as is known, this is the first time that any university has organized as comprehensive a plan for improving student health through the prevention of colds. Sunlight is probably one of the most prominent factors in the prevention and cure of colds. But during the winter months of December, January, February and March, when the mercury is down below freezing in a large part of this country and when colds are most preva- lent, one cannot easily expose his body to the sun’s by ultra-violet irradiation dur- ing these months the number of colds can be sub- stantially de- creased. Experiments conducted by the Depart- ments of. Physiology and Hygiene at Cornell show that: (1) there is a direct: re- lationship _ be- tween the ac- quisition of colds and_ the number of daily hours of sunshine, and (2) either a deficiency of vitamin intake or (3) a disorder of vitamin metabolism during — these “dark” winter months lowers the re- sistance of the human body to colds and other ailments. It has been proven in many places by experi- mentation on animals that those kept on diets deficient in certain vitamins were addicted to snuffling and eventually lung infections that often terminated in death. As the animals lost their vitality through restrictions to faulty diets, they became more and more a prey to disease. A few years ago it’ was decided to try a system of ultra-violet irradiation of the skin surface for cold-susceptible persons during the winter months to determine if it would be an adequate cold-prevention measure. A group of 81 to colds. from them. ‘male students were selected who were known to be very susceptible to colds— that is, who had reported as having had four or more colds during the college year. Twenty-three of these students during these ‘‘dark’’ winter months and lowers the resistance of the human body to colds. . Diet and faulty nutrition have a direct relation to colds. .

Heavy underwear does not prevent people from catching colds and those who do not wear it are freer ; Heredity is a possible factor in a lowered resistance to colds. .

They were selected for weekly ultra- violet light baths from a hygiene class of 160 young men, and the result was similar to that of the previous experiment. Twenty-six freshmen in the cold - susceptible groups who were not irradiated over a period of 12 weeks re- ported 44 mild and 29 severe cases for a total of 73 or an average of 2.80 colds per individual, while an irradiated group of 23 freshmen who were accustomed to having frequent colds reported 23 mild and 13 severe colds, for a total of 36, or an average of 1.56. In a second period of nine weeks in which another test was made there was an average of 1.24 colds per student an the treated group and 2.79 in the un- treated group. Experiments conducted at Cornell during the past few years tend to prove that a 10- to 16-minute exposure of the naked body (5 to 8 minutes front and 5 to 8 minute back) during the winter months to the rays of an ultra-violet lamp once a week will, in most instances, reduce by at least 40 per cent. the inci- dence of colds among cold-susceptible individuals. But the use of this arti- ficial light is not alone to be expected to produce a complete cure, as there are several other factors—including diet and ventilation—to be taken into considera- tion in maintaining resistance to colds. Physical Culture ; Continued from page 55 Replies to a questionnaire given to 1,968 freshmen one year showed that only 24 per cent. of those having not more than one cold a year wore woolen underclothing~ in winter, while 43 per cent. of those students who had four or more colds were “‘protected”’ by this type of underwear. In addition, only 6 per cent. of thosé who had one or no colds a year had parents who suffered from frequent colds, while 17 per cent. of those in the cold-susceptible group had parents with whom colds were almost habitual. Forty per cent. of the no-cold group had had some sort of an operation on their nose or throat, while 54 per cent. or more than half of the extreme cold- susceptibles had had such operations. It may be assumed, therefore, (1) that heavy underwear does not prevent people from catching colds; (2) that those who do not wear it are freer from them; (3) that heredity is possibly a factor in a lowered re- sistance to colds and (4) that the re- moval of infected tonsils and nasal obstructions does not necessarily stop persons from having frequent colds. In a questionnaire study of 2,485 fresh- men and sophomores at the university it was discovered that women had colds less frequently than men. This is pos- sibly due to the fewer clothes that women wear both winter and summer, keeping their skin toned up and therefore making them less susceptible to chills and ex- posure. In eliminating the number of colds, one must find the causes for their undue prevalence in the winter months. The main reasons, it is believed, are poor ventilation, faulty nutrition and lack of sunlight. Regarding ventilation, the at- mosphere of our homes, and school and _ college class rooms, during the winter months is apt to be hot, dry, and con- siderably polluted by infective moisture droplets coughed, talked, or sneezed out of our throats. In class rooms, windows are sometimes opened here and there, and adequate mechanical systems of ventila- tion are in operation in a few of the more modern office and school buildings in our cities, but in order to keep the feet warm and comfortable, it has been found that windows can be opened only con- servatively, if at all, when there are many people congregated in one room. Thus a student at the end of an hour’s recita- tion, or an office worker after a morning’s work, often steps out abruptly from a room with a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 25 per cent. into an outside temperature of nearly zero Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 70 per cent. People are all the more susceptible to common colds and other sicknesses in winter because they eat fewer vegetables, the milk they drink comes from stall-fed cows, and the eggs from winter-housed chickens, all of them lower in vitamin content, which results in a deficiency in vitamin intake sufficient to lower resistance to many types of infection, (Continued on page 78)

February, 1931 Nervous and Mental | Breakdowns! Mh ee eee The Psychology of Your Fears Nervous and Mental Breakdowns are pri- marily due to FEAR. These FEARS are due . to your possessing a sensitive, emotional, im- 2 pressionable nature. Such people are known as introverts. No one who has never experi- enced such a state can conceive of the suffering and torture which is possible. These FEARS become very real and intense in character— to the point perhaps of one becoming panicky and even hysterical. You feel ‘‘trapped’’ and know not which way to turn. Your relatives tell you it is all foolishness, your physician tells you—‘‘to forget it,’’ and you are ashamed to tell your friends of your trouble for fear they may think you queer. Thus you suffer in patience and wonder what the end is to be. Deeper and deeper into the mental mire you sink and inwardly cry— “Oh what shall I-do?”’ _ What Your Imagination Can Do You are told your FEARS are not REAL, but yet you suffer quite as much from them ' as though they were real. You do not under- : stand the condition, therefore your mind is full of doubt. If a good friend told you that a dear one had been killed in an automobile accident you would suffer keenly and pass through some very pronounced physical re- actions, even though that friend were mistaken about its being your dear one. You believed him, and that was enough. In a like manner ~ you believe these fears you have are likely to culminate into realities, and believing it - causes keen reactions. Through constantly holding these fears you generate a very real poison in your body, with a definite chemical change, which produces an auto intoxication. This means a lowered vitality, functional inaction, and supersensitive nerves—all of which forms fertile soil for the growth of very - real disorders. Every fear has its reaction on the Sympathetic Nervous System and isa - shock which is felt throughout your entire being. 3 Your Fears as a . Neurasthenic a Neurasthenia is a child of FEAR. It is due to your sensitive, emotional nature getting - the upper hand and dominating YOU, instead - of your controlling and directing it. Frequent ' indulgence in these fears form fixed HABITS _ which trap you. Some of the more common - fears are:—Fear of insanity, fear of suicide, * fear of injuring a loved one, fear of crowds ' and closed places, fear of being alone, fear _ that something might happen to you, fear of _ death, fear of disease, fear of germs or dirt, _ fear that people may recognize your trouble. _~ fear that you might lose control of. yourself ' and make a scene. You find it practically impossible to forget yourself and you assume an overserious and overanxious attitude toward most everything. You lose interest even in They Tell You—“Your troubles are only imaginary—FORGET THEM!” life, and each morning you get up to—‘‘just another day.’’ Where the fears and feelings are acute the nerves become extremely sensi- tive and weak and you have peculiar sensa- tions, such as uncertainty in locomotion, a slight dizziness, nervous indigestion, etce., which seem quite alarming to you. Remember worry alone, which is’ a form of fear, can upset your nervous system completely. You Ask, “Is My Mind Weak?” No, only those with active, ‘‘going’’ minds experience these breakdowns. It is merely due to lack of understanding and repressed emotions which have accumulated to such an extent that you are like an overloaded boiler— just about ready to burst. This good mind of yours has become introspective, that is all. But to just continue to drift of course will mean more and more acute suffering. Sucha nature as yours is capable of carrying you to great heights.. The truly successful have just such a type of mind. You are out of adjust- ment, that is all.

8 | including common colds. And in addi- tion, the frequency with which colds follow the eating of too much candy by children is suggestive that too much sugar plays a part in lowering resistance to colds. A large number of the experiments conducted by various health agencies designed to control just one of the factors ' that cause colds, have given surprisingly favorable results. Thus the New York State Commission on Ventilation reports a uniformly decreased incidence of colds among schoo! children whose class rooms are ventilated by the modern modified window method rather than by the me- chanical method. Colds have also de- creased in number among children whose attention has been called rather con- tinuously through “no cold” campaigns to such hygienic faults as sneezing or coughing with mouth uncovered by handkerchief. Other workers report that diets rich in “‘protective foodstuffs,”’ and especially butter, are very successful in. reducing the incidence of colds. ET us now take up the matter of sunlight. A skin that receives little, if any, sunlight is likely to become pale and rough. Very little vitamin D is formed in such a skin, and makes it very sensitive to chilling and a person becomes more susceptible to colds. For this reason, this winter and the two winters previous, groups of cold- susceptible students at Cornell have been given weekly irradiations of ultra- violet light which corresponds roughly to the amount of similar light which the average student would obtain from the sun’s rays on his neck, hands, face and wrists in ordinary clothing in mid- summer. It has been proven that this is a great boon to students suffering from colds. In order to cope more efficiently with the problem of colds, the university has recently installed up-to-date equip- Q Whole-Wheat Flour Now Standardized ————— But the confusion should now end, for after a long and rather uncalled-for delay in getting at the matter, federal pure food authorities at Washington have finally issued a “definition” of whole-wheat and Graham flour. Such definition has the effect of a prohibitory law because any flour that is labeled and sold as whole-wheat, entire-wheat, or Graham flour must henceforth conform to the definition or be considered misbranded and therefore unlawful. By this new definition we go back to — the idea and intention of old Sylvester Graham, for whole-wheat flour and Graham flour are now declared legally to be the same thing and must be by law what they have always been by common sense, ground whole wheat with nothing added and nothing taken away. Therefore, if you now buy whole-wheat or Graham flour in the United States, it ‘is genuine whole-wheat flour or else it is unlawful. Since there is very little profit incentive to make the blended mixture, the law: will be respected and the con-. _ (Continued from page 76) ment in the men’s gymnasium of four sun lamps and eleven mercury vapor lamps. Instead of the young men lying for so many minutes on their backs and for so many minutes on their stomachs, imprints of feet have been made on the floor under and around the lamps, and the student stands for one minute each in 15 different positions. An alarm clock rings at the end of a minute, and the student moves on to the next posi- tion. In this way every part of the body. (Courtesy General Electric Co.) Baby may have the benefit of sun- shine all winter Jong is irradiated. Six sun lamps and two mercury vapor lamps have been installed for the use of the young women in their gymnasium. The solariums will accom- modate 90 students per hour at present and at this time 150 of the estimated 1150 cold susceptibles in the university are paying the nominal fee and taking the ultra-violet irradiations once or fusion of these mixed and near whole- wheat flours will be ended. The law does not specify whether light- or dark-colored wheat should be used or whether the flour should be coarsely or finely ground. As both of these factors alter the appearance and color of the flour, not all genuine whole- wheat flour in the market looks alike nor gives the same texture and color when baked. For Underweight Child UESTION: My nine-year-old boy is underweight. Is it safe to feed him eggs and milk at the same meal? Answer: Yes, decidedly, it is both safe and wise. The growing child, and particularly the underweight child, needs milk at every meal. A moderate amount. of eggs is also good for him. Therefore, if one were to avoid milk and eggs at the same meal it would mean meals without any milk. In practise this would be Physical Culture twice a week. The record of colds among the irradiated group of cold susceptibles is kept each week, and if in the individual case no reduction of colds is secured, abnormal conditions such as sinus in- fection or marked nasal obstruction are being sought and their special treatment attempted. A check-up of the first 100 cases of cold susceptibles treated showed that there were an average of 1.15 colds per person during one term as contrasted with an average of 2 colds per person among 38 cold susceptibles of the same type, but untreated. A reduction of cold incidence of 42.5 per cent. in 100 cold susceptibles is not as spectacular as it could be, but one is convinced that if applied to the whole -group of cold- susceptible students in the university, it would aid considerably in stamping out the menace of common colds. OR those who would keep from having colds during the winter months it is recommended (1) That they protect the mucous membranes of their noses and throats by keeping the indoor atmos- phere moist, moving and at 68 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, through the use. of sufficient heat, and open windows, at least afew inches, most all the time. (2) Be careful to protect others in cough- ing, sneezing, spitting and blowing of the nose. (3) Keep a normal blood sugar by avoiding an excess of sweets, and build up a high vitamin and alkaline reserve by including in the daily diet two or four glasses of milk, two helpings of leafy or fiber vegetables, fresh when possible: at least one helping of fruit, preferably two or three oranges, and one or two salads; (4) A sun bath at least once or twice a week in summer, and a short ultra-violet bath once or twice a week in winter to provide adequate amounts of vitamin D and keep the skin immune to chilling and exposure. (5) At least eight hours’ sleep a night. Continued from . page 62 likely to do more harm than the eggs would do good. The mother who asked this question has probably been viewing the problem from the standpoint of trying to balance the meals and is classing both milk and eggs as “‘protein” foods. She therefore feels that using two such foods at the _ same meal would destroy the balance and lead to an excess of protein. Efforts to simplify nutrition by classify- ing foods according to the principal in- gredient are of doubtful value. It not only gives an inaccurate idea of foods but may lead to such practical errors in application as the one here suggested. Many of our best foods contain so many of the elements of nutrition that it gives an erroneous idea to class them for their content of any one thing. Protein is only one of the many valuable nutritional components of milk. For the lad in question, a quart of milk — a day and two eggs would be a conserva- tive allowance. It would be wiser to in- crease the milk to more than a quart than

It is certainly simpler and easier with most children to see that they get their needed milk when there is at least one glass of milk served with every meal, no matter what other foods the meal contains. Muk is also given in cocoa, soups, on cereals and on simple puddings and desserts. What Advantages Has Comb Honey? UESTION: Is honey in the comb of any greater food value than the ex- tracted or strained honey? AnswER: There is no difference in the honey itself. Neither is the comb or beeswax of any particular value as food. This wax is not digestible and in that respect would act as “bulk’’ in the di- gestive tract as does cellulose. However, there is not enough eaten at any one time to be of consequence one way or another. This leads to the natural question as to why comb honey is the more prized and sells at a higher price. One answer is that the “labor cost” of production is higher— it takes the bees much longer to manu- facture the comb than it does to gather the honey to fill it. The discovery that the bees put in a lot more time making “bottles” than they do filling them led the bee-keepers to devise the methods of extracting the honey and putting the comb back in the hives for the bees to fill it up again. That clever trick greatly increased the honey production and lowered the cost. But regardless of any arguments about labor economy in the beehive, many people still prefer to eat their honey in the comb. Mineral Oil and Digestibility St iatby ans : In the reducing menus put out by your Institute, you recommend the use of mineral oil in salad dressings. However, I was told by a doctor that mineral oil should not be mixed with foods, as it rendered the food indigestible. Is this true? AnswER: Mineral oil is itself indi- gestible, or, more properly, non-digesti- ble. In that fact lies its value, both for the relief of constipation and in reducing diets. The idea that it might render food with which it is used indigestible comes from the notion that the food particles would become coated with the non- digestible oil and therefore could not be acted upon by the digestive juices. ixperimental tests have shown that mineral oil does not have any appre- ciable effect of decreasing the digestibility of other foods. If the other foods are moist when the mineral oil is added, the moisture prevents any real absorption of the oil by the food substance and the oil is readily separated in the digestive tract and the food substance digested. However, any agency that relieves constipation and causes a more rapid passage of the food substance along the alimentary tract does tend to cut down the percentage of food absorption, be- cause there is less time for such action. Mineral oil would have this effect, though not to the extent of that of the usual dose of laxative drugs. But that is usually desired by those who use the oil.

I am interested in this tour and would like to know if this highway is completed all the way through from the Texas line at Laredo to Mexico City. I had been advised that it isn’t. Could you give me some assur- ance in reference to this? T. G. W., Pittsburgh, Pa. ANswEeR—In replying to the inquiry of T.S. H., of Chattanooga, we had accepted the statement sent out to the effect that this Inter- national Highway would be completed from Nuevo Laredo through to Mexico City in August and to assure safety to American auto- mobile tourists the Mexican Government had arranged to have the highway policed by Mexican soldiers. We have since been in- formed by the Laredo (Texas) Chamber of Commerce that this is not so, and have been set right in the matter of actual conditions by the following letter received from Mr. C. Mumm, secretary of the Laredo Chamber of Commerce: Dear Sir: Your reply to a query published in the November issue states that there is a good auto highway from Nuevo Laredo to the City of Mexico. We wish to advise you that you have been misinformed. The highway to the City of Mexico is far from being completed. At present tourists do not go further south from Laredo than to .Monterey, a distance of one hundred and fifty miles. This stretch is paved. From . Monterey south they can drive as far as Linares in dry weather, but from there on it would be extremely hazardous to attempt to drive further. In fact, there are long stretches through mountains and desert where no construction work has even been started. The auto trip to the City of Mexico, however, is made once in a while by persons seeking adventure, but in that case they do not follow the proposed route of the Pan American Highway to Mexico City, but they drive over the old Mexican roads, either via Saltillo and San Luis Potosi or via Victoria to San Luis Potosi. But it is the general policy to discourage tourists from attempting this trip. If tourists driving through the South- west or contemplating an auto tour into Mexico will call at the offices of the Laredo Chamber of Commerce, 718 Con- vent Avenue, Laredo, Texas, we will furn- ish them with all information in reference to road conditions and routes and the regu- lations for tourists visiting Mexico, or if they will write to us we will mail them this information before they start. A great deal of annoyance has been caused in the past by misinformation through which people have driven long distances from the north to the border with the intention of driving through to - Mexico City, and for this reason we would like to suggest that you kindly give this corrected information to all inquiries in the future, and publish this in your next issue. (Signed) C. Mumm, Secretary, Laredo Chamber of Commerce. Dear Str: ; I have a shooting lodge and camp on a small lake in northern Minnesota, and as it is on the direct line of the duck flight I would like to know what is the best foods to plant in order to induce wild ducks to make the waters in the vicinity of my camp a regular stopping place and to get them to breeding in this locality. Could you give me any advice in this respect? H. K., Duluth, Minn. Answer—The best foods to plant for wild duck are wild celery, wild sago, wild duck millet, wapato or duck potato, and wild rice. Wild celery is the favorite food for canvas. backs, redheads and bluebills. Widgeon, teal. pintails, mallards, coots and geese will also come to wild celery waters, and it is an ex- cellent food for game fish. It grows readily ia bays and nooks in fresh and slightly brackish waters. Wild sago is perhaps the best all-round duck food that can be planted. Its clusters of seeds are eaten greedily by mallards, teal, widgeon. and its tubers form food for canvasbacks and redheads. Marl bottoms are good for planting sago. It grows submerged. Your best plan is to plant a mixture of all the duck foods given above according to the bottom soil—wild sago on mar] or clay bottom, wild celery and the duck potato on mud flats, duck millet on mud flats where the water lowers in summer, and wild rice where there is a current and where the water stage doesn’t ‘change much. Dear Str: Are these air beds or pneumatic mattresses practical .for sleeping outdoors, or are they just a fancy idea that does not prove practical in actual use? If they are practical, why are they not in general use by the woodsmen who sleep outdoors most of the time? KE. G. K., Albany, N. Y.. ANSweR—Pneumatic mattresses are thor- oughly practical, and what is more, they are coming into common use by woodsmen who are naturally slow in accepting modern ideas advanced by “city men.” A great many big game hunters use them now, as they provide a comfortable bed where the old type of sleeping bag slapped down on a rock is decidedly un- comfortable. As an adjunct to a sleeping bag they are invaluable to the person who likes a comfortable bed, and when deflated they roll up into a tiny roll and add no weight at all to the equipment. I have seen hard-boiled guides of the Canadian woods casting envious glances at the “city sport” they had taken out into the woods because the latter had a comfortable pneumatic mattress to sleep on. , pore , Pere Oe ae, Ltr ge Pirate oem MA I Oe ee eRe NS ee ee Pm, \ — .

But don’t worry. The knowledge you seek is too vital to be hushed and an authoritative booklet has been prepared for your guidance. The old-time fear of poisons There was a time when caustics and poisons were the only antiseptics strong enough for feminine hygiene. Much as doctors approved of surgical cleanliness they did not approve of bichloride of mercury and compounds of carbolic acid. Women didn’t like them either. And when they discover Zonite, when they realize the difference, all the old-fashioned fear leaves at once and forever! _ Lonite is safe as pure water Zonite is not caustic. Zonite is not poisonous. It can ~mever cause mercurial poisoning; nor produce ateas of scar-tissue; nor interfere with normal secretions. It is actually soothing to membranes. Yet—Zonite is really far more powerful than any dilution of carbolic acid that may be allowed on the body. And in addition Zonite has remarkable qualities as a deodorant.

The first comes from overseas but repeats itself ina great many American homes, and jis the old tragic story of the ] HAVE two prob- Dear Mrs. ALLEN: What am I to do about my husband? He is forty years old to my twenty-eight. We have been mar- ried eight years and have two children. And for the last five years I have been made alternately angry and miserable by his affairs of the heart. He has had a good many, always with young girls, and he believes each time that he is madly in love with this or that youngster. In some cases his affection has been returned, in others the girls have merely made a laughing stock of him. Some of these girls work or worked in his office, others are friends of ours or of his younger sisters. He is an attractive, well-educated man and holds a good position and a responsible one. In a way I think I have gotten over being just jealous, for it has happened so often that my misery and jealousy has worn itself out Now I am just irritated and feel that I would do anything in the world to keep him from making such a fool of himself. 1 really love him, you see, and I am convinced that his sincerest affection is given to me and the children but he does not seem to be able to cure himself of these constant flirtations. They always burn out, of course, and he re- turns to me but I can’t spend the rest of my life waiting for him to come back, can I? I have tried every method. I have even sym- pathized with him and encouraged him to confide in me and several times, early in the game, offered him a divorce so that he could marry one or another of these little flames. He refused, of course. When he comes back to me—I mean, in heart, for he has never left me or the children literally—he always tells me I am the only one and that he was terribly disappointed in the character of whatever girl he has been amusing himself with last. With the exception of one affair none of them has gone beyond the sentimental, secret meetings, letter-writing stage, that I know of. My friends all know and are sorry for me, which makes me more annoyed than ever. Several of them, including members of my own family, urge me to pay him out by flirting on my own account. I don’t want to, and, moreover, I believe that he would never stand for it but would leave me for good, as I think what brings him back to me is his belief that I am loyal to him alone and that he is the only magazine.

He wants a home and his comfort and he also wants a woman to whom he can return in order to be babied and petted. — Then, if the last bright flame has burned his — fingers and hurt his vanity he can be sure to ~ have the wounds salved by the faithful wife who is waiting at home for just such an oppor- tunity. Such a man has never really outgrown his mother’s knee. He comes back to his wife after some disappointing affair of heart or senses just as he used to come to his mother after a battle lost at school, a reprimand from the teacher, or trouble with the gang! No, Muriel, 1 would not advise you to return like for like. As you say, your strongest hold upon your husband is that, while he runs around in circles after a happiness which doesn’t exist, yOu remain at home, like a fixed star, serene and quiet. He always knows where he is with you; he doesn’t know where he is with these other girls. And a man of that type is very apt to demand the utmost loyalty and the most spotless purity from his own womenfolk. He knows too well the lack of these qualities in the women outside his home! ; And, of course, | would never advise you to leave him as you love him and your children, | and your happiness lies with him and them. I can only advise you to ignore his peccadil- los. Indifference to them may annoy him more than anything else would and bring him more quickly to his common senses. If you sympathize with him each time, he is, you may be sure, getting something out of it. Some sort of a “‘kick,”’ as we say in this country.

= February, 1931 not coldness, but mere indifference. As if he Fe and his silly little affairs didn’t exist for you. _ Take up some interest outside your home, harmless and wholesome. A club, a lecture course, athletics or charity, and really work at it whether it is a hobby like gardening, or | some culture of the mind. a You need not neglect either husband or children for it; arrange your time properly activity. Show him plainly that you cannot spend your life sitting with folded hands waiting for 3 him to come home and tell you the success or | failure of his latest affair. One reason he so indulges may be in order to get your entire attention, just as the oldest boy in a family of babies often acts in a very naughty manner, sure that his parents will pay some attention to him and forget the claims of the youngest for a E time, even if it is only to scold and spank him! z This state of little boyhood is recognized by 7 the psychologists as a bid for attention. “Tf I can’t have it when I’m good, 1’ll be bad,” says the little boy, in effect, to himself. Sub- consciously, your husband may reason in the same manner; may feel that he can hold your interest by his escapades. Also, he is forty. Between forty and fifty - men go through a dangerous enough age. Many of them, feeling their youth departing, reach out for a little vicarious warmth and youth. : It is ridiculous, and a bit disgusting to the onlooker but it is really rather tragic and pitiful, as are most of our human reactions to the knowledge that life is very brief. I feel that you are a very sensible and charm- ing person, and that you can handle this situa- tion. I feél, too, that if your husband once were made to realize that he does not possess a sympathetic audience in his wife he might . mend his ways. I do not advise scenes or anger or demands or ultimatums. He might rather enjoy such manifestations. Indifference is a difficult thing to battle. Once he comes to know that your interest and sympathy in his wanderings no longer exist, he may stay at home. There is no use acting-a tragic love drama or “showing off” when the audience is lacking! If he should ask you whence this sudden in- difference you might tell him that repetition has staled your reactions and you can no longer become emotional or miseraple or sympathetic over his frequent philanderings. Good luck and write me again if you care to. ND now for the second letter which comes from a very young girl. Drar Mrs. ALLEN: I am a girl of sixteen and go to high school, where Iam a junior. 1 aman orphan and have been living with my great-aunt and uncle. My aunt is very strict with me. I do not have a lonely life. I am not allowed to go out with my friends and have to be in every night at nine o'clock. Otherwise I am locked out. I don’t have pretty clothes. Many people have told me that I am quite attractive except for my clothes. I have never had an older person - from whom to ask advice. I have to fight my own battles and take what I get. I have a lot of friends. Most of them are well off and so Iam just an outsider among them. I’m very lonely. : I am interested in becoming a nurse. I - would like to leave home and go out for _ work. Do you advise me to leave or stay and _ take things as they come? How can I make - my friends notice me more? Both boys and E girls? M. eo DEAR M:: _ In the first place, I cannot advise you to _ leave home, at your age. If your great-aunt and uncle are your natural guardians they could prevent this. Even if you succeeded and went to work without their consent in most states a ~$o so that you will have leisure for this outside the enjoyments that my friends have. I lead — they could take your earnings from you until you are of age. I sympathize with you in your wish to become a nurse. No more noble pro- fession for women exists, but you must be sure that you have the qualities such a profession demands—perfect health, a good disposition, a real desire to alleviate suffering and enough stamina to see you through the hard training, which includes sights and sounds foreign, and often disgusting, to a sheltered girl. Most good hospitals will not accept students who have not had a high school education, so I advise you to finish your course and then to apply to the various hospitals for their requirements. You will not be paid while in training save a very small monthly sum, you know, and most hospitals demand that you supply your own uniforms. N the meantime, you can fit yourselt for the life you have in mind by keeping yourself physically well and vital, by exercise and plenty of fresh air and sunlight and rest and sleep. That all helps. And it would be wise to have the cooperation of your aunt and uncle. Tell them frankly what you wish to do and ask for their help when the time comes. One reason they are so strict with you is because of the gap between your generations. It is hard for people, related by blood, but so far removed from one another in outlook, to understand one ariother. I am sure it is because they are so fond of you that they are strict. Nowadays, so much is said of the younger generation that older people get panicky and feel that the best way to avoid danger is by removing all pos- sibility of it. I am afraid that I do not see anything very terrible in. the nine o’clock edict. At your age, while you are in school, you should be home at an early hour in order to preserve your health and help with your school progress. Friday and Saturday nights, perhaps, you could stay out later without undue harm. Can’t you talk to your aunt and point out to her that on such-nights you might be allowed a little latitude, but promising that she will always know where, and with whom, you are? Ask her, too, if you cannot invite your friends to your home now and then, under her chaper- onage, and such entertainment as you offer them there need not be expensive or noisy or in any way annoying to the older people in the house. - It is hard to say what to do about the clothes. I can only counsel frankness with your aunt. Perhaps if you talk to her lovingly and understandingly she will be able to see your viewpoint, and perhaps permit you a little dress allowance, or help you in some way to earn it at home. When you go into training you will find the rules quite as strict as those of your aunt—not much opportunity to wear pretty clothes and practically none, until you graduate, to earn them! And the students have to be in very early, too! If you are really attractive you don’t have to rely on clothes. Simple clothes can be pretty and are, in fact, much prettier than fancy and unsuitable frocks for a girl your age. And your friends will continue to be your friends and to “notice” you, if you give them something of yourself—your interest in them, your friendship, your kindliness. It always takes two to make friends, you know, and friendship does not: depend on pretty clothes. | Boys and girls alike will like you if your disposition is a happy one, if you are inter- ee in all the happy things of youthful ife. My advice to you is stay where you are and make the best of it and try to make a confidante of your aunt. She has perhaps missed this in you. Perhaps she is lonely, too. Most people are. Go to her for advice and see if she doesn’t respond by taking an interest in you. And begin now to work toward your ambition of going into training after your school course is finished. : BARBARA ALLEN. For a more beautiful complexion A clear and youthful skin!

Address Paul von Boeckmann 1411 CELLINI BUILDING 48 West 48th St. New York Physical Culture Q February Is the Party Month! great pyres where human sacrifice was made. The music of ribald dancers and abandoned merrymakers echoed from temples and woods. Juno, the mother of life, was the presiding goddess at this long-ago holiday. Pan, that mischievous, troublesome goat-god of field and wood, was also responsible for the ceremonies of the day. Later, eager church fathers, striving to convert a pagan world to their Christian beliefs, ordered such celebra- tions ended. But it so happened that the same day was the birthday of one of the Christian martyr saints, a cause for annual rejoicing among the common people. They still cherished remnants of their elder and livelier festivals of pagan days and these persisted in a modified form for celebrating their Saint Valen- tine’s birthday in games of match-making, frolicksome dances, innocent delights to which the church did not object, and which have come down through the ages to modern celebrants of February 14th. Later on, in the days of gallantry of eighteenth century France and England, there were famous Valentine parties at the courts and in the lavish homes of lords and ladies. Symbols of gallantry, tokens of affection, any device which suggests match-making, the twining of happy hearts, the bestowal of betrothal gifts are today the accessories with which the modern hostess garnishes her Valen- tine party. Such entertainment for grown-ups or for the children is easily planned for so established has this party day become in modern times that shops everywhere offer bounteous displays of decorations and favors. ‘Two Tea Parties Perhaps a Valentine tea may be the best choice for your house. The rooms are colorful’ with flowers and candle- light and the tea-table carries out the color and detail of February 14th dec- oration. For such a party, a frilly lace tea-cloth is laid with a centerpiece consisting of a large red paper heart on which a crystal bowl stands filled with red roses; narrow, red satin ribbons run out from this centerpiece from all sides and hang toward the floor, dangling a little lace paper Valentine from each. There must be thin sandwiches cut in heart shape (cutters galore at the five- and ten-cent store in this form) and little tea cakes of heart shape and iced with snowy coconut frosting, each bearing a red candy heart on top. If this is to be “high tea’—a buffet supper almost—there should be small salads on heart shape of red tomato aspic dotted on top with a small heart of white mayonnaise, and each plate gar- nished with heart-shaped cheese crackers. Or any delicious salad mixture may be blended with aspic and chilled inindividual heart-shaped molds; chicken and lobster are particularly suitable for such salads. — Hot bouillon, each cup floating a little | red heart cut from a slice of cooked beet or pimiento, may be served from one end of the tea-table and the tea and coffee Continued from page 59 poured from the other. Sandwich fillings are pimiento cheese, the pimiento domi- nating so that the red color shows between the slices of bread; also currant jelly and minced maraschino cherries; thin slices of chicken; chopped tongue and mayon- naise; smoked beef. After the beverages, salads and sand- wiches have been served at the large tea, an ice, mousse, or frozen pudding as well as the heart-shaped cakes are welcome. At this season the caterers make a pro- fusion of cherry and_ strawberry ice creams in heart-shaped molds both large and small; or any good ice cream may be bought and shaped into heart molds in the home kitchen, while home-made desserts may be chilled in heart-shaped containers in the boxes of the automatic refrigerator or packed in molds and buried in ice and salt, until firm. A large heart of strawberry ice cream garnished with little whipped cream hearts and a sauce of cooked cherries (not the maraschino variety) is the ap- proved red and white for this scheme, and it has a dulcet, delicious flavor of extraordinary goodness. brought in from the kitchen on a large platter and served from the buffet tea table. | Red and white heart mints, red candles in silver or crystal sticks complete this table. If the tea and coffee services are of silver, the plates and cups and saucers may be either of crystal or of ruby red | glass, or a mixture of the two for a com- pletely charming Valentine table. A Supper Dance The same menu (without the tea) and the same color scheme may be used for an evening buffet supper following a home dance. If the guests come in the lace-frill and ruffled costumes of the eighteenth century, the party will be the talk of the community for many Valen- tine days to come. The supper dance, of course, will be a matter of choosing partners, either by matching broken hearts—red paper ones cut in intricate halves, each girl given a half and the others mixed in a big red paper heart box from which each man draws—or by matching Valentine poems. This is done by writing half as many rhymes as there ~ are guests. Each rhyme should be on a small slip of paper, or on a Valentine place card, bearing a little heart or cupid or other memento of the day. The cards are cut in half, one of the two pieces going into a heart-shaped box from which the girls draw, the other halves tossed into a heart-shaped box from which the men draw. If the scheme of red and white seems too flamboyant for your house, Valentine pink, blue and lacy white may be com- bined delightfully, the keynote every- where being lace valentines rather than the bold red heart, the table bearing pink candles, crystal or rose glass plates in place of ruby red, pink roses and snap- dragons in place of red roses, the red notes of the menu, such as the aspic salad, 4, Such a heart is ~ %

For Lincoln’s Birthday A Lincoln’s birthday bridge luncheon, tea, or supper or a dinner party using the decorative detail inspired by this day, is obviously a moredignified occasion than those enjoyed on Valentine’s day. Here again, the modern shopkeepers come to our aid, and offer us effective bits for table decoration. Centerpieces may be anything as simple as crossed flags with smaller flags used at each individual place. Or the famous log cabin may make the centerpiece with tiny log cabin or Lincoln stove-pipe hat favors supple- menting this. A miniature plantation showing pickaninny workers in the cotton field might be devised as the centerpiece, with little crossed flags surrounding this. Place cards bearing log cabins or cotton pickers are in better taste than those showing a Lincoln head or figure. Place cards consisting of ‘a black Lincoln hat bearing a little card, the hat intended for nuts or mints, are new this year. The menus for any party celebrating this anniversary should be our best party dishes, regardless of tradition. Corn pone and bacon, hominy and the other simple foods of the Lincoln log cabin days are delicious and exactly suited to the party if we are giving it in the camp house or country cabin warmed for the occasion with a roaring log fire. But around our dinner tables, or in the living room of the apartment or suburban house, appetites call for something a little more sophisticated. For dinner to be followed by bridge there might be a steaming, fragrant soup to take the February chill out of the evening; a savory, browned roast or fowl; succulent, tender vegetables; perhaps a salad of alligator pear or artichoke, those two exotics now in wide popular favor. Dinner comes to an end with a dessert of preserved and spiced fruits, and a nibble of fine cheese, the happy guests lingering over their coffee until bridge begins, or dancing to the radio and phonograph, or until the backgammon boards are out in place. If this hospitable house has invited guests for a bridge luncheon instead of an evening party, the decorations may be much the same as those intended for the dinner table, or fresh flowers may make the centerpiece and each place have a Lincoln favor to denote the sig- nificance of the day. The good things served are of course much simpler, or at least fewer in number; a hot, clear bouillon in which a few shredded almonds are floated; an escalloped dish of sea food such as crab or lobster or oysters; ~ or mushrooms stuffed with chicken and baked; a green vegetable such as ap- _ paragus, peas or broccoli may accompany this; there are delicate luncheon rolls; either a green salad, or a molded one of aspic and vegetables; or an artichoke served hot or cold with vinaigrette, - Hollandaise or melted butter.

Or she may have a log cabin roll of pastry which the caterers make at this season. There is coffee, and mints, the latter, if the guests are to play bridge, are usually carried to the tables. The Children’s Party The children must have their own festive month and the twenty-second’ is a most happy choice for their good time. If it is a costume affair, half the fun will be _ arranged for in the dressing up. Snowy wigs, frilly pannier dresses and silken knee breeches make this affair one of certain importance to the ten and twelve- year-olds who are invited. The very. young should not be included in this occasion, nor those over twelve who already are beginning to show the sneer of boredom at “those kid parties.”’ Let these sophisticates go to the movies and eat the family supper. Let the babies have a modest party of their own or bribe them to wait until next year. For the others, the deluge of neighbors’ darlings, plan in such detail before the onslaught that no moment of the affair is allowed to lag. Invite them for about an hour before the supper is served, have an able-bodied assistant hostess who will keep the games going, have a second lieutenant who will see that wraps are removed as the guests arrive and placed in orderly array somewhere away from the scene of the fracas. The games need not be intricate or fancy; the familiar ones are the most popular. New ones require too much explanation and there are always some of the guests, about half of them, who cannot remember directions, who forget the vital rules and in general make a mess of the hostess, who other- wise would be considered by her out- spoken guests as a bright and worthy citizen. There may be prizes for the winners in these games such as a “Life of Washing- ton,” a framed picture of Mount Vernon, a framed silhouette of Washington. Supper partners may be chosen by the simple procedure*of matching halves of hatchets or cardboard cherry trees. The dining room table may bear a glorious profusion of flags, or red, white and blue crépe paper streamers may descend from a chandelier over the table to a gigantic George Washington hat in the center of the table, which is filled with the favors. Little ribbons of the same colors run out from the hat to each plate, and on the hat end of the ribbon, there is a season- able favor. (No whistles, drums, fifes and horns, unless you want a large percentage of the neighborhood eventually driven Q Tales of the South Seas fifty years in the South Seas. Many sig- nificant things we learned from this trader; and some of them cleared up mystifying rumors that had drifted up across the Pacific to the States. I was very keen to see for myself if the fabulous color and beauty and ro- mance of the South Seas really existed; and if so what they really were. When a mere boy I dreamed of the South Seas. I longed to sail down the endless lanes of this vast ocean and visit some of the islands. And when I found myself there I realized it would take a great deal more than a few cheap pearls, and half- naked, half-savage native women and fine French wines to be had for nothing, to constitute the glory and the dream that have emanated from the South Sea Islands. W E interviewed ship-captains, traders, natives, to learn what we could about the fishing round Tahiti and the islands. It was all very interesting, but discouraging. Only a yachtsman here and there had ever fished around Tahiti; and _ these trolled leisurely to and fro with ordinary spoons and lures. Their luck had been as indifferent as their zeal and method. ~The possibilities of the waters around ‘Tahiti and the Puamotus practically were unknown. © Broadbill swordfish, Marlin, and sail- fish were numerous in these waters, and also big tuna. One native had been killed by a broadbill. He washed ashore with a hole in his head. Later his canoe was found with a piece of the sword of a ! broadbill impaled in it. No one could figure out what had happened. My theory is that this native happened upon | two pugnacious swordfish, and hooked one of them. ‘They capsized him, and while one speared him the other attacked the canoe. The bait proposition did not worry. Captain Mitchell and me until we tried to catch some. It was impossible. Small fish appeared mighty | scarce. That night we interested the natives in our bait problem. We learned they fished mostly at night, and the best time was in the dark of the moon. ‘I saw lights out on the reef, probably torches made of palm leaves. Next morning I was up at dawn, and the dawn surely was wonderful. After breakfast a native came in his canoe—queer little narrow bark with its outrigger—and fetched us a string of small fish, green and shiny, with big dark eyes, and soft protruding mouths. They were too small and not the proper shape for trolling. Nevertheless we took them, and started out again. I had a blank day. The sun bored into the top of my skull, like a fiery worm, and I was glad to run in early. My New Zealand boatmen, Francis and Peter, were likewise affected by the heat.” ee next day began hot and sultry. Squalls came up. We welcomed rain, : and soon were soaked through. I liked that at first. But after several hours I got tired of being wet. On the run in, during a lull in the wet downfall, I espied a wavering, gold shape far back in the wake of the launch. I yelled, and then all of my companions saw. The shape came on swift as a shadow. I never. Physical Culture to padded cells.) But amusing toy soldiers in Revolutionary uniform and _ red, white and blue snappers are pretty safe for.the boys, and tiny Martha Washington dolls and snappers for the girls. At each plate, an additional favor such as a little Revolutionary hat filled with mints, or cherry-suckers on little sticks will doubly endear you to the guests. The supper itself must be wholesome (for it takes the place of the children’s regular evening meal) and yet it must wear a festive air, the latter secured largely through decorations. Individual casseroles of chopped chicken and vege- tables baked under a delicate cheese sauce, a small baked potato (which has been opened, the potato mashed and stuffed baked into the halves) and two small buttered graham rolls, make a good beginning. These may be served on one plate, with a frilly lace paper doily for added importance, and a tiny Ameri- can flag topping the casserole when the plates are brought to the table. More rolls spread with currant jelly may be passed, for hungry children make these disappear by the dozen. Cups of hot cocoa are brought in after the plates. Then squares of sponge cake iced with white and coconut and strawberry ice cream with a red cherry on top, are the final enticements. Continued from page 19 saw anything like its color or. speed. Then it dropped back fifty feet behind the teasers. Finally I decided the waver- ing motion was due to the sail of a large _ sailfish. Suddenly it shot forward, and crossed our wake. It was a sailfish, very long and slim, with huge sail, and a blue tail. Then he dropped back, wavered in the blue billows, and vanished. you tire easily in the tropics. The energy of the northerner keeps him on the go when the languorous native or the experienced visitor does nothing. I have no idea how long that energy would keep up, but I imagine not long. I found what I liked best was to sit under the awning on deck in an easy chair or under the rustling coconut palms and feel the cool, sweet breeze and watch the crawling white and blue sea. The pearl and opal morning before sunrise, and the golden flushing of the mountains, and the drenching of the sea in magical light were the glorious mo- ments of the day. Sunset was warm, rich, sultry, smoky, a great blaze. of red fire through massed clouds. Sunset over the island Moorea is famous. All visitors to Tahiti speak of it, and many writers have attempted to describe it. I will not be so vain. “43 Trolling out of the pass next morning, I raised and hooked a large, white sharp- nosed fish that broke water and escaped.

I never saw a fin while we were anchored there. Nevertheless. I did not feel at ease for myself or anybody, and kept a sharp lookout. There were a number of picturesque native houses up on the palm-shaded bank, and nearer town many beautiful residences belonging to Papeetians. We walked inland some distance, and up and down the shady lanes. Flowers, foliage, color, perfume, languorous warmth everywhere, and always in the background a golden-skinned, dark-haired Tahitian maiden. TEN days of faithful scouting for big game fish up and down the west coast of Tahiti resulted in raising eight sailfish and three Marlin swordfish. One sailfish was caught and one Marlin fought for an hour. This may not ap- pear to be good fishing at all, but in so far as finding these fish are concerned it was a distinct achievement. From different sources we had heard and kept hearing about the wonderful variety and number of fish around the Puamotu Islands. So we decided to run over there and take a look. It was fairly early in the morning when we first sighted Rangiroa. A few low blurs on the horizon, dots thickening to a long green line, next a white flashing surf, here and there a wandering stretch of sand, and then the beautiful wild fringe . of coconut palms—what a thrill each and every one of these gave me! Late in the afternoon we rounded a cape more to windward. The sea was blue and white; the surf breaking in a long heaving tumbled crest; and the coconut groves merged into one un- broken mass of green. We came quite unexpectedly upon the pass. It was not visible a mile away. From the angle by which we approached, however, any break in the shore line could not be seen until we were right upon it. I had expected a narrow, calm passage-way into the lagoon. - What I saw was a seething, tumultuous river rushing in like a mill-race. Well inside, a picturesque little island, fringed with palms, lay to the right with a broad channel to the left. We sailed on into the lagoon. I knew it was a lagoon, though it looked a sea as vast as the ocean we had left. But I could see the lines of coconut palms curving for leagues, reaching out to surround the lagoon, and to disappear. The next morning, how different the lagoon and the wandering line of coral! I had an hour alone on deck and the serenity and sweetness and beauty of the scene were worth almost what it had cost to find them. Our interpreter, John Blakelock, went ashore to the village, Avatoru, and fetched back some native fishermen. We interrogated them in the same manner as we had the Tahitians. They identified all the fish of which we showed photo- graphs, except broadbill swordfish, and they positively claimed him for Polyne- sian waters, only his sword, instead of being an extension of the upper maxillary, was an extension of the lower. This was a statement impossible to take seriously. But we were compelled to take it seriously. One of our visitors was the native governor of Rangiroa. He was intelligent and spoke English fairly well. He stuck to his statement and could not be shaken. | We put out to sea in three boats, with orders from me to hang pretty well to- gether. Middleton, the camera-man, was in the Red, and he was to follow us closely. We trailed two teasers behind each boat. Peter caught a small yellowfin tuna, the same species we found off Mexico and South America, a wonderfully bril- — liantly colored fish, blue and silver, with yellow fins. Soon after that Peter hooked another on the feather gig. He was haul- ing this up and had brought it somewhere near the boat when he let out a yell. I jumped up and instantly sighted a huge green shape looming up astern. “Whale!” shouted Peter. As he was a whaler I at once took his word for it. — . But as the fish came closer, I saw it was not a whale, but a shark. Only in size did it resemble Rhinodon typus, for which fact I took it to be one of those most colossal of sharks. I was _ intensely thrilled and excited, but not frightened. The great fish passed astern of me, not far from the surface. He was yellow and green in color, had a square head, im- mense pectoral fins, and a few white spots. He was eight feet across the back, and considerably longer than my boat— conservatively between thirty-five and forty feet. He had been with us only a few seconds. When he was gone we recovered wits enough to calculate upon what we had seen. : “He was forty feet long and had more beam than our launch,” declared Peter. “When I first saw him I thought he was a fin-back whale.” “Some joker, that fish!’ exclaimed Francis. “No one could have made me believe it. But I saw him.” ARLY next morning, before anyone was up, I caught a big fish from the ship. It was one of the blue-green bass-like fish I had seen swimming around. Catching it was no great matter, but landing it on deck was. Once upon deck the fish turned out to- be remarkable in all details. The weight was around a hundred pounds. It had a bass shape with a hump back, long snout and big lips, with wide fins and tail almost meeting above and _ below. The color was aquamarine blue from head to gills, and the rest appeared to be a ‘ Ve. ¥ x ie = green blue, and was wonderfully marked °* in a maze of circular lines on a brown background. It had large white teeth. The native name was mara tea. It grew to weigh several hundred pounds. At sunset we turned toward the reef and met the Captain on the way in. He cupped his hands and yelled to me: “Hooked a big Marlin! On a feather gig! . . . Enough said!’ Events appeared to be multiplying. I had not needed any more evidence, however, to assure me that fishing among these South Sea Islands was to prove a very difficult, exasperating, and almost fruitless task. The water was too clear

tO he } February, 1931 Mer Nee WA ee ered Er aera S wy Se Pe relief! They merely put off the evil day! There IS a way to banish CONSTIPATION—a drugless, natural, non-habit- porate way, discovered by scientific research in accessory foods— a remarkable blend of three accessory foods EDROLAX 7a modern way of treating Constipation EDROLAX is a food, not a medicine. There is only one right way to produce natural, normal eliminations—the way that Nature intended— through the foods we eat. But the kind of foods we eat today do NOT act on the bowels as Nature meant them to. The reason is because they lack bulk, roughage, and lubricating properties. _EDROLAX— combining the three outstanding accessory - foods—DEXTRINE, AGAR-AGAR, and a blend of three PLANTAGO SEEDS including plantago psyllium—makes up for this deficiency in. our diets. The seeds in EDROLAX swell up to many times their original size—and as they swell they give off a plentiful natural lubricant that eases the passage and cleanses the body of its waste. EDROLAX will produce a normal, natural action of the bowels because EDROLAX stimulates normal PERISTALSIS (the muscular contrac- tion in the intestinal walls which produces natural eliminations.) Yet despite its gentle, easy, natural action, EDROLAX has banished the most stubborn cases of constipation—freed thousands of slaves from the need for ever using drugs again! / 1476 Broadway, | Kindly send me, postpaid, your generous 6-oz. trial size can of EDROLAX. I enclose One Dollar (check, money order, or currency) | which you agree to refund on request if I am not satisfied with re- sults obtained by a thorough test of what EDROLAX will do for me. 5 Trouble starts with overstrained weak- ened muscles.

CIENCE says 94% of all foot pains result from displaced bones pressing against sensitive nerves and blood vessels. Weakened muscles permit these bone displacements.

The ex-convict looked his surprise. The millionaire smiled, then leaned forward to emphasize his point, as he con- tinued: “Terry, we’re the new Four Hundred now. We’ve got to dress the part, act the part, look the part and be the part. The best is none too good for us. You've got to learn how to handle the best. Times have changed, Terry.” Terry took it seriously. After all, this friend of his ought to know. To be sure, his old pal had spent plenty of time in a cell, but today all the under- world knew him to be a “big shot,” a racketeer-boss feared and respected throughout the whole Rialto area, friendly with politicians and persons of the highest standing in the legitimate world. Yes, Terry’d been hearing up in Dannemora_ 7 that his friend was a czar, a hero, witha — Page One name. -He was eager for work under such pleasant circumstances. Today, Terry is spending his $5,000. Tailors, barbers and manicurists; an apartment with a ritzy address; a dinner jacket and a stiff shirt. He goes out to dine in prominent restaurants and watches and practises—a former “sword swal- lower” now learning the legitimate uses of a table-knife, fitting himself for a place in society! Incidentally, Vl remark that Terry and his chief won’t enjoy this reference to their talk. That was supposed to be a secret. They'll be looking around for an informant but both of them know me very well and they won’t really expect to get anywhere. ACK “LEGS” DIAMOND was shot last October. The gunmen who caught him unprepared in a quiet West Side hotel sprayed bullets around with the customary generosity of a gangster murder party. Only four shots found the mark. Not good work at all from the gangster view. Diamond was taken to the hospital. The four bullets in his system left him with just one chance in a hundred, the doctors reasoned. They may have mut- tered over the Hippocratic oath, but they went to work, nevertheless. Then the gangster chief awoke from a coma to find himself still alive. He gathered that he didn’t have long to remain. So he called — at once for the newspapers! There it was. A fitting send-off for a man if he had to die.

Pages were devoted to him, pictures printed in a dozen poses, views run of his up-state fortress. Feature writers lavished ~ countless words on his many activities—his twenty- odd arrests for murder, ‘his infallible shrewdness in “beating the rap,” his European journey which had stirred for- eign governments; writers dramatized him as a ruthless man of power and _ wealth who had walked for years under the threat of death and who, when cut down by a fusillade at long last, clung stubbornly to the “heroic” gangster code—‘“I never squeal.” There, too, on Page One where all “his public” could see was the picture of a beautiful show girl, the type legitimate millionaires struggle to win with check-books, dia- mond bar pins, pearls, automobiles. And he had given none of these. *“T EGS” read as much as his strength would permit, accepted the nomi- . nation, and went back to sleep to see if - he couldn’t recover. A pleasant thought, even there in a hospital bed, with police- men by his side, and the doctors in the morgue probably preparing to meet him at any moment. For the moment, at least, he was a bigger public figure than the President! If ‘Legs’ had been able to exert himself, he’d probably have cut out the clippings. Most gangsters keep clippings! To the Metropolitan Hospital on Wel- fare Island came callers, a young woman and her husband. An attractive young matron who spoke with striking poise and assurance. Understandable, of course, since she was the daughter of one of the proudest and richest families in America, with an unquestioned, social eminence. The warden recovered from his aston- ishment at the unexpected visit, to learn that the young society matron would like ~ to meet “Mr. Diamond, the racketeer, -. you know.” Well, that, it seemed, was up to Mr. Diamond. . . . Her name and ' that of her husband were sent up to the ~ convalescent. Yes, indeed, Mr. Diamond - would receive if his guests would wait while the hospital orderlies performed a few annoying functions. The guests waited, the alert press finding occasion subsequently to remark that it was the first time that particular young matron had waited for anybody or anything. Introductions over, the young woman smiled. “How do you feel, Mr. Diamond?”’ “Pretty good, thank you,” from Mr. Diamond. | _ *Legs’’ shifted himself a bit, the better _ to see his callers, and the pain of an un- - healed bullet wound made him wince. “Oh, that hurt you, didn’t it?’ cried - the sympathetic visitor. “Well, that shoulder doesn’t feel so - good when I moveit.

What is more inviting than a glass of this tasty and delicious food. And nature has indeed been kind in putting in milk the elements necessary to give it immeasurable food value. Usually when one thinks of a medicine or a curative agent, there comes to mind something that is displeasing to the taste. Something that is going to be “hard to take.” But not so with milk. Its delight- ful flavor and savory appeal rather class it as a delicacy. From the earliest dawn of human history milk has been recognized as one of the most valuable of food products. It has always been the great builder of sturdy races. It has come to the aid of the ailing and the weak. It has made of them men and women fit to face hardships in the world, and it has added years to their lives and given them more life while they lived. Milk—the Master Healer Perhaps it seems strange that anything so simple and so Jacking in mystery as milk should effect cures with such uniformity. And in grave disorders that have resisted the efforts of the most skillful medical men, armed with the most heterogeneous assort- ment of drugs and poisons. Yet such is the case. By a means so simple that even a school boy could carry it out, thousands of people all over the country are now ridding themselves of grave ail- ments—particularly of the chronic type— many of which have been pronounced in- curable by eminent physicians. To obtain these miraculous results, how- ever, it is necessary to adopt the proper methods in the uses of milk.

Bernarr Mac- fadden in his book, The Miracle of Milk, describes in great detail exactly how 10 take the milk diet. In it he tells you how to build yourself up if you are under weight, how to reduce your body to normal if you are over weight, how to strengthen your body if you are weak and run-down, how to restore your health if you are suffering from one or more diseases. In a word, the milk treatment is truly a miracle. But It Must Be Used Properly Milk is the great miracle worker, yet it will not cure by magic. It must be taken properly. Different ways for different ail- ments. Otherwise the milk diet will have but little effect. All sensible people know that drugs and external influences do not always cure. Nature cures. The body cures itself, pro- vided helpful conditions prevail, giving the opportunity for self-readjustment. And here lies the secret of the miracie of milk. Milk is a builder of tissue and an enemy of physical ills, because more than any other food, it furnishes elements which are needed to make new blood. Milk is undoubtedly more easily digested than any other food. It is more nearly akin to blood. It is quickly absorbed into the circulation and becomes a part of the tissues of the body; and the ex- penditure of consider- ably less energy is re- quired for this than to bring about the chemi- cal changes essential in preparing the ordinary foods for use in the human tissue. The physical changes that can be. brought about through the use of milk within a short period would be con- sidered unbelievable by the average individual. If you are run-down, and should stumble upon a way to gain one or two pounds a week, you would feel that you had made a marvelous discovery. But when we say that this is only a fair average for those who have experienced the miracle of milk, we are not in any way overstating the facts. In the case of those who are in extreme need of additional flesh, and who have been poorly nour- ished, the effect of milk is almost unbelievable. But to get results, itis vitally essential to adopt only © ne art methods as outlined in The Miracle of ilk.

A great mansion in the most exclusive section of Miami ablaze with lights, festive lanterns wirking like giant fire- flies over the spacious lawns. Within the residence a brilliant group swaying in fox-trot rhythm to the music of a splendid orchestra. A notable gath- ering for any host and hostess; celebrities of the stage, financiers, lawyers, writers, doctors, young women of high social position, guests whose names meant something in attainment. The host was affable and aniGne, ex- tremely attentive to the wishes of his guests, courteous In manner. His staff was fully as courteous. Guests chatting gaily in the really charming ground floor rooms, or resting between dances, remarked upon the unobtrusively eve, service. Won’t you have a sandwich?” A smiling man deftly balancing a large tray of refreshments, neat and cool in silk shirt and immaculate flannels. Hard to believe this composed servitor wasn’t himself a guest. Harder still to recognize in him a dangerous gunman— until one realized that the quiet-spoken host of the party was Mr. Alphonse Capone himself! No false note, except perhaps the presence of a _ rather hard-faced, though perfectly flannelled man at the door of the cloak room on the second floor, who never left his post, from where, it happened, he commanded the stairway and could observe all guests as they ascended. Perhaps, too, the other flan- nelled, silk-shirted gentlemen who re- mained by the gateway, observing all who entered and left, gave an impression of hair-trigger alertness. An impression only the most observant might obtain. A grand, glorious comedy, all of it— the society-minded racketeer, the thrill- seeking matron, the clipping-saving gangster, the awed, curious public— if it weren’t for the underlying menace _ of this ““comedy’’—or is it tragedy, our national tragedy? You can’t blame the gangster of 1931, if he thinks he’s really a “big shot.”” Ten years of adulation have finally turned his head. Nor can you blame the news- papers, the movies or the stage. They can’t fail to notice men who are spending money with the carelessness of Diamond Jim Brady, who bump off enemies with absolute indifference to the law, who are dictating to our politicians, who are al- lowing honest men to do business only r the privilege, who today, and who give an all around, wild-west show every hour of the clock. That’s the new picture today, in this year of 1931, and a dozen years ago, the gangster was an East Side tough or a West Side rowdy with a black jack. He was rich with $100 and was content to find his pleasure in a cheap dance hall, his bed in a poor tenement, his luxury in a shoddy Turkish bath. Indeed, quite a change! A change that is amazing even to a veteran detective. Ten whole vears of my police work went into the pursuit of gangster-killers. I made it my business to know personally every gangster of note in Greater New York. If a detec- tive ever is a specialist, I was a special- ist on this racketeer game. I think I know the gangster’s character, ideas and ambitions as well as any police cam- paigner ever can. I’m ready to confess that the rack- eteer had gone a good many miles be- yond the point I ever thought he could reach, even before prohibition turned this crook into an industrialist and financier and produced for him an undreamed-of bonanza. - I don’t believe that any observer, practical worker, student or theorist, ever could. have imagined such an appalling combination of Klondike wealth and public hysteria as these past ten years have actually produced here in America. A curious character, this new-day -racketeer, this man of yet unclassified potentialities, this new “hero” and “social lion,’ the product of a real social up- heaval. . . . in his hands are unlimited power and wealth, yet he walks always in the shadow of death and fear . . . able to hold his own hired killers in line by arrogant command and ruthless forays, yet he sends out his murder squads only when he can get a man from behind, or without a chance of defense . . . a king revelling in theterror his name creates, yet a secret coward ready always to murder his friend at any word his suspi- cious mind can twist into disloyalty ... the typical gangster, in other words, who is always a “hero” with a craven spirit, bolstering his false “courage”? with excesses, lulling his fears on flattery. ERHAPS that is why the racketeer wants to meet the best people. The attention of such persons is the highest possible tribute to his egoism. ‘That he is able to mingle with them makes him realize the reality of his new-found luxury and authority. With them, too, he takes relaxation and a full enjoyment of pleasure impossible when on parade be- ‘fore the men he controls, or the rivals he must scare. Yet, a professional murderer admittedly isn’t worrying very deeply at heart about social niceties, and the racketeer main- tains an open eye and a business head, no matter how greatly his vanity is being flattered by social celebrities. Influential men and women may come in handy, any time. And then it happens that the blackmail “‘take” is growing fast to enor- mous proportions. No matter how friendly you may find him to be, the gangster becomes a business man, pure _and simple, if he gets something on you!

They'll find a new thrill eventually, after the gangster idea be- — comes stale and commonplace. They’re — old enough to take care of themselves, — and if they get ito trouble — anyway, . that’s their lookout. The real problem — lies a good deal deeper; it lies at the very ~ root, I’m afraid, of the American family. — For detectives are asking themselves two » — significant questions these days: One: What effect has all this mass of crime dramatization, this pub- licity for vicious men, upon the minds of growing boys and girls?

But irrespective of age today they come at me with eager ques- tions about the gangster—1931’s Page One hero. They ask: Does he make all the money the papers speak about? Do | really nice people attend his parties? Does he actually spend each minute waiching out for enemies? Isn’t he brave not to squeal on his enemies when they shoot him? And they aren’t par- ticularly pleased, either, when the gang- ster is called just a bum. Fathers and mothers? Well they ask me questions, too.

Perhaps more than any other man in the world, Pershing looks “‘every inch the soldier.” His pres- ence is distinctive in any circle. Even in civilian clothes he can never escape the suggestion of “an officer and a gentle- man.” But the dominating factor in the personality of the superb and upstanding chief of the A. E.

And of course his shoulders convey not only his vitality but his self-confidence and his indomitable, more or less swag- gering, spirit. UT now to take an opposite extreme, also as instancing the point that the shoulders not only represent the physique but convey the spirit of the individual, let us take a mental look at some spin- dling, round-shouldered bookkeeper, a man of sedentary occupation. I don’t mean to suggest that this is a picture of all bookkeepers, or even typical, for [ve known a couple of robust specimens who happened to have the mathematical and analytical qualities that naturally put them in that line of work—otherwise they’d have been only good sportsmen. But contrast this shrinking, round-shoul- dered type, with the physically powerful and spiritually robust and fearless “‘Sea Devil,’’ Count von Luckner, for instance. The shoulders tell the story. Drooping shoulders sometimes convey the impres- sion of the man who is licked, the man whom the world has spanked until he lacks the spunk to fight back. There are shoulders that express the It is true that you sometimes find the thinker in a body of massive proportions, and then again in the rangy type, none the less masculine, indeed, sometimes actually aggressive, as in the brilliant, militant attorney-at-law, but with shoulders that give vigor and strength to that elastic and active type of physique. ‘The slender man, however, should be especially con- cerned lest his shoulders lack normal de- velopment, and in that way suggest lack of vitality. They should not droop. The matter of development of some parts of the body is relatively simple because it involves little else than mus- cular development, secured through exer- cise. In the case of the shoulders we have especially to consider the matter of bone growth and, in a measure, the matter of chest development, together with the whole question of bocily carriage. The shoulders bear a special relationship to chest conformation. When we deplore a flat chest we are prone to extoll a full, round chest. But when the chest is too round that means that it lacks breadth. ~ Good broad shoulders mean width of the upper chest. But just as it happens, the types of exercise that build shoulder Continued from page 53 strength are also those which tend to bring about this broadening of the chest. The majority of arm exercises are really shoulder exercises rather than arm developers, and they are shoulder exer- cises in this double sense of broadening the upper chest and putting upon the shoulders themselves the muscles that belong there. Movements which grip the fingers or move the hands at the wrists are fore- arm developers. Those which move the forearm in its relation to the upper arm are upper arm developers. But those which move the whole arm, as in swim- ming, involve the shoulder mud<cles, not only the deltoids but the trapezius (be- tween shoulder and back of the neck) and other upper back muscles, and the upper chest muscles in front. The shoulders have more to do with what one might call arm strength than the arms themselves. But we are so built that all arm-lifting movements inevitably raise, expand and broaden the chest. That is why we have briefly illustrated for this article some simple movements of this type for femi- nine consumption chiefly, because for masculine purposes more vigorous activ- ity will be wanted. And that is why we have illustrated Indian club swinging as a very attractive form of exercise, of bene- fit almost exclusively to the shoulders. Indian club swinging does provide light exercise for the arms, but it is of far more consequence for improving the shoulders, and for raising and expanding the chest, thereby putting the shoulders just where they belong. This very matter of putting the shoul- ders where they belong is vital, so much so that movements which correct round shoulders are of far greater value in the general scheme of things than exercises which give you greater strength of the shoulder muscles themselves. And that is why we have illustrated some simple movements that all round-shouldered folks should practise not once a day, but many times each day, to correct this condition. Now a special word for the round- shouldered woman. Usually she is the victim of too much housework. House- work may be done without detriment if you watch every movement, but as ordinarily and carelessly done it dis- tinctly is not physical culture. Sweeping, laundering, shaking rugs, making beds and other forms of housework all tend to pull the shoulders forward and cramp the chest. The houseworker especially needs physical culture as a corrective, to pull the shoulders back and expand the chest. I have already mentioned swimming as an ideal shoulder builder, especially for women. It is not too violent. All girl swimmers have good shoulders. Where men are concerned, swimming should be supplemented by other more~ vigorous work. Remember the arm-lifting factor in this connection.

That depends upon the undershoulder muscles to pull the arms down, the latissimus dorsi or broad back muscles and the pectorals that we have already mentioned. Wood chopping is a good illustration of the point we have made, that what seems to be an arm exercise depends upon other muscles of the upper body and shoulders, rather than on the arm muscles themselves. Wrestlers are bound to have good shoulders; how could they be otherwise? It is the most perfect all-around, strength- building sport. An example of good shoulders due to wrestling is seen in Harry Scott, who posed for some of the photographs illustrating this article. Scott, by the way, played end on the Columbia University football team, and played with distinction in Columbia’s defeat of Cornell last fall and in other big games. But he developed his power- ful physique through three years of wrestling at Columbia. Aside from the specific exercises illus- trated, we would recommend what for obscure reasons are called “chest weights,” or those elastic wall exercisers that offer the same kind of work, whether made of rubber or of spiral wire springs. These are pulled out backward, upward or Is Your Family Salads ? lemon juice should be used with modera- tion and discretion. Oil should be used lavishly in French dressing and the sea- sonings chosen should depend on the use to which it is to be put. Salt, a little sugar, a touch of onion or a bowl rubbed with a cut clove of garlic makes a fine seasoning for the usual French dressing served with salad greens. In addition, many gourmets like a dash of cayenne or tabasco, a touch of mustard, the flavor of tarragon vinegar and some paprika for color. The mayonnaise and cooked dressings should be similarly flavored with spice and condiments. Dinner salads are essentially simple, unless a fruit salad replaces a dessert, and should consist chiefly of a mixture of greens with French dressing. If the meal is otherwise very simple, a Russian or Thousand Island or cheese dressing may be used. The luncheon salad may play an important part in the menu, in fact may be the chief dish and therefore it must be more filling than greens dressed with a simple salad dressing. The common greens used for salad vary in color, shape, texture and flavor so that our menus need not lack novelty. Among them are: Cabbage—The green outer leaves of young and tender cabbage are sometimes used for salad. Shredded coleslaw is more common. Chicory or Curly Endive—This plant consists of a large flat head of very curly slender leaves, shading from dark green at the outer edge to a pale green yellow at the heart. It is slightly bitter but very decorative and the taste for it grows. It needs careful washing. French Endwe—These small heads of blanched leaves are from four to. six Starved for Physical Culture forward, depending upon the position in which you are standing, and are essen- tially shoulder developers. This is also true of unattached springs or elastics, to be stretched by pulling the hands apart. In the absence of such apparatus, you can get the same type of exercise by taking a little piece of clothes line, heavy twine or even rope, and trying to break it by pulling apart on it, in front of the chest, overhead and behind the back. The exercises illustrated by Miss Grace Moore, in the nature of raising the arms overhead, are made more effective for either masculine or feminine use _ by using any small weights. If you haven’t a pair of small iron dumbbells, you can use a couple of flatirons or, for that mat- ter, a couple of bricks. If one brick in each hand is not enough, use two bricks, or a bunch of them tied together. You can have good shoulders if you want them. You will not get them without effort, if you are underdeveloped, but the work of getting them may well be a pleasure, especially if you devote yourself largely to swimming, tennis, canoeing, rowing and other pastimes that have much to do with the shoulders. And never forget, the improvement of your shoulders will mean incidentally an improved personality. Continued from page 60 inches long and about an inch in diameter. The top leaves are faintly tinged with yellow. The heads are usually cut in half and one head served to a person. Endive comes packed in tissue paper in boxes and is sold by the pound. The single leaves are additions to a mixed green salad. Endive requires practically no cleaning or preparation. It is slightly bitter but crisp, dainty and _. delicious. Escarole—Kscarole is somewhat similar in appearance to chicory. It consists of a large flat head with broader, less curly leaves than chicory. The outer leaves are dark green and shade to pale yellow at the heart. Escarole is slightly bitter. It needs thorough washing. Lettuce—There are a number of vari- eties of lettuce. Garden lettuce consists of single, tender, long green leaves. Boston lettuce is a compact head of roundish green and yellow leaves. It is tender and moderately crisp. It is used for hearts of lettuce salad, salad mixture founda- tions and sandwiches. Iceberg or Simp- son lettuce consists of compact heads of tender, thoroughly bleached, mild-fla- vored leaves. It is suitable for hearts of lettuce but difficult to separate into single leaves. These are cup shaped when separated. Romaine is known by its loose head of long, slim, green leaves. It is not so tender as Boston or Iceberg lettuce but is characteristic in flavor. It is frequently served with orange or grape- fruit sections, alone with French dressing or as part of a mixed green salad. Watercress—This is a water plant, with small round leaves on branching stems, somewhat spicy as to flavor, but very | crisp and refreshing. It is used in mixed green salads and as a garnish.

As soon as they come from the market, all greens should be thoroughly washed, drained and chilled either in a clean cloth directly on the ice or in a covered ventilated container in an automatic refrigerator. They should never be served wet. Most greens will keep in perfect condition for several days. They ~ should be put on chilled plates or in a- chilled salad bowl and carried to the table at the last possible moment. Dressings should be added at the table. A bottle of French dressing which can be well shaken and passed individually, or the ingredi- ents for dressing a bowl of salad should be on the table. Mayonnaise, Russian and Thousand Island and cheese or other mixed dressings may be passed in a bowl. Salad mixtures should be marinated with French dressing and garnished, when served, with any other desired dressing.

Drain and place in a deep saucepan and cook in plenty of boiling salted water, about forty minutes, or until the stems can be easily pierced with a fork. Cut off remaining part of stems, making the bottoms flat. Set each one upright on a salad _ plate. Chill and serve with a separate small sauce dish of mayonnaise or French dressing into which each petal is dipped. Only the tender stem end of the petals is eaten. The rest of the petal is laid on the plate. When all have been eaten off, the heart or bottom is eaten with the salad fork.

-From Order Clerk to General Manager in jive years ! Back in 1920, V. G. Powell of New York, was a young order clerk just out of the army—in 1924 he was directing sales and advertising—a year later he was general manager. In between were five years of © capable, loyal service and_two completed LaSalle training courses—Modern Business Correspondence and Business Management. Six months after starting his first course, he asked to handle correspondence and got the job and a raise; a few months later he suggested a new sales pro- _ motion department and was given the responsibility of organizing and directing it; soon after he recom- mended the beginning of advertising and was given that task. No wonder he moved up fast. Any employer would welcome and reward initiative and ability like that. Today he is the editor of his industry’s magazine and an outstanding figure in that great field.

We packed our bags and were off for Miami. We had to find a place where we could take sun- baths unmolested, and we in- tended to wear short trunks only, leaving the upper part of the body exposed. This cannot be done at public beaches even in Miami, so we established our- selves at a spot about five miles from Miami Beach and _ fixed up a sort of house from boards and dried palm leaves—a regular “native” hut. We got up early in the morn- ing, took a walk and a dip in the ocean, had breakfast, then some light setting-up exercises, and after that we would lie in the sun, expos- ing front and back of body to get an even tan. At noon we had a light lunch, another rest, and then came the big work-out of the day. For about an hour and a half we went through various exer- cises using as much weight for each separate exercise as we thought fit.

As a rule people didn’t take liberties with the Champion. They said, “‘Please, Miss Farley,” and “Oh, Miss Farley, would you care to come to tea?” and, “Do you think you could join us at the theater next week, Miss Farley?” and. especially, “Oh, Miss Farley, how wonderfully you played...” Miss Farley, Miss Farley, Miss Farley ...

She also knew her heart was beating strangely, unpleasantly. But the young man was waiting, waiting patiently with a charm- ing look upon his square face.

Why must she tell him that she was the great Florence Farley, only to have him be- come at once afraid of her as a personage in the world. “My name’s Farley,’ Then louder, “Florence Farley.”” She looked quickly up into his face for that flash of coordination with the champion, waiting for the inevitable answer; “Not the Florence Farley?” It didn’t come. For once it didn’t come. She wanted to cheer. At_ last she had met a man to whom she was a woman and nothing else. There was not the slightest connection in his mind, his face was politely blank. No, the name did not register; instead he smiled and moved away. “Twenty minutes, out- side on the porch. .. .” Dressing. she felt a strange exultant emotion within; a feeling such as she had experienced when she won her first title years before, when championships were a novelty. Yes, she liked this young man, this grown-up lad with the resonant voice and the black eyes; liked him with- out knowing why or why she wanted to like him. Once outside to find him waiting, she decided that he was much better looking in his clothes. He looked young; but there were lines in his face when one was close to him, and he was evidently not so young he hadn’t done things. The more she saw of this young man, the better she liked him. She realized it was a little idiotic to be so absurdly happy with someone ‘she’d only seen an hour; but there it was. Life was like that. His face had a way of lighting up when he talked, when he glanced sideways at her. as he was doing a good deal, and she re- -membered he hadn’t been saying much with the Montgomery crowd on the r if £ ~ > ‘i re ro ‘ 5 x > 3 > » ’ iy F Pe a “> : Po ue ee a CE eG < Phijetel Culture MOULDING A Q What Did She See in Him? _ MIGHTY GRIP Get a Grip of Steel recognize’ her—she wished she said faintly. .

Did she get out to the Beach Club often? “No. I just got back from France.” Then she collected herself. Would he she hadn’t said it and hastily added, ‘Is the—are the—I mean do you get here every week-end ?”’ He laughed. “I should say not. This is the first day I’ve been away from town all summer.” | She looked at him with concern. Yes, he did look white and a little dragged. “All summer—why here it is the end of July. In all that heat! working hard!” “H’m. Well, I am rather, just now. This is an important time for us now.” “Us? Who’s us?” “Well, me if you like. My company.” “Your company? What do you do?” “Well, you see Father, he was Kansas and Ozark Power and Light. When I finished Yale he wanted me to come back and work in the main office. I thought we ought to have a branch here in New York. He didn’t. I still thought the future was in New York ’cause all the money is here, see? So I started alone in a broker’s shop down at Wall and Broad, and then two years ago went on my own. “IT see. father.” He looked at her with a quick glance. “You must be in business yourself.” The champion hastily changed the subject. ‘““Er—well, not exactly, but anyhow, tell me what’s doing now that you're so busy?’ . “Well, you see I grew up with utilities. I was raised on ’em. Every summer for six or seven years I worked with Father. I know all his tricks: you get to when you work and live with a smart man like Dad. So I went after Chenango Power. That’s here in-the East and I knew he’d want it eventually. We had to raise a quarter of a million at the start.

That is, I think he is. Of course Father’s like no one else. One is never sure. But it will cost him an awful lot if he doesn’t. Say, what a view!” He had stopped at the top of a hill: from its summit the water stretched across the Sound to the distant shores of Long Island. But Florence saw it not at all. Instead she was thinking rapidly. Here, she thought, is a man worth while. This dark-eyed, youngish man had jumped into the furnace alone, and come out with a prize. Inevitably she compared him to the men she had met around at tourna- menis in the United States and Europe, a Be You must be er, ~jhel “SS a

‘ Na se mlag : F #, Oy F ebruary, 1931 men who spent the best part of a life- time trying to develop a backhand down the line. Here was someone fighting a fight which made all sporting battles look like a game of hop-scotch. She decided all at once that she would like to be with him, to chuck her tennis and her career and everything about it that she hated and got so deathly sick of, and be with him... near him... these were the thoughts that raced through her mind when Hank Rodman leaned over and kissed the Champion of the United States. Fully and completely. And the Cham- pion of the United States (without a movement, without the slightest protest, Florence Farley the Champion, the hard- boiled slayer of pretenders to her throne, Florence Farley the great, kissed Hank Rodman. Fully and completely also. Then when at long last he finished she spoke. ‘“‘Please don’t do that again.” Her voice was heavy and throaty. “Why not? Don’t you like it?” For a second she was silent. No, she couldn’t tell him she didn’t. She nodded her head. ‘“‘That’s just it. I do.” ‘Tus was the exact and particular mo- ment that Hank Rodman became aware of the fact that he was madly in love with a girl he had only seen an hour before, that he was in love, and that he hadn’t the faintest idea whom he was loving. It was new to both of them, this sudden . sweep of high emotion. Florence Farley had never loved anyone before; her op- ponents always used to say she was in love with Florence Farley. But how could one find time and energy for men when one’s game took up one’s entire waking hours. No, never had she been in love until that afternoon. Nor Hank Rodman, either. When you are working ten, eleven or twelve hours a day, Satur- days and often Sundays included, you haven’t much leisure to bother with ladies. So they both fell, they fell to- gether, they fell hard. And the universe and the Beach Club and the hour which got later and later and the Jamison’s house party, everything was forgotten, it was all part of a world which for them had ceased suddenly to exist. Until long, long afterward when the car finally swished up the curve of the Jamison’s driveway and pulled up before the house. A cheer greeted their arrival. Then it became somewhat submerged in ex- postulations and queries. *““Here she is:. . .”’ “Well, Floss old girl, about time. . . .” “Why Florence dear, we all thought RAD oy 5 a “Where have you been, Florence?” “Welcome home, Little Wanderer.”’ The hubbub died down as they stepped out. She emerged from the car first and came up the steps, followed by the tall youth one or two of them had no- ticed in the Montgomery gang _ that afternoon on the beach. But it was the q look on Florence’s face which shut the chatter and chaff off dead. Something had quite evidently happened to her. _ There was a silence as she came slowly _ up the steps to the top where Helen Jamison stood waiting. _ _ “Helen, I’m sorry to. have run away _ like that. Please excuse me. This... is... this is Mr. Rodman, my fiancé... Mrs. Jamison... .” She knew he must soon find out who she really was, but she was dreading it never- theless. Perhaps it was just as well to get it done and over. It was Bobbles Wilson, long, loud, gauche, who. did it. Amid the polite murmurings and the in- troductions and the suppressed exclama- tions of surprise and the ejaculated con- gratulations, his tone carried to them all. “Well, well. Our Florence engaged. Think of that. The Champion caught at last!” She was standing on the top step with the man she loved below, their eyes almost level. He heard the remark and looked suddenly at her. “Champion? You... why youre... you must be the Florence Farley!’’ She nodded. ‘‘Yes, I’m the Champion. But I can’t help that ... after all, you loved me when you didn’t know who I Was" “Love you!” he said. ‘“‘Love you, of course I did. Do, I mean. Only I didn’t know .. . look here . . .”’and she sud- denly felt herself being grasped once again by those two strong arms. “Look here, you come along and we'll get acquainted all over again.” She was shoved into the car. The door slammed, the gears ground, and the vehicle dashed down the driveway leay- ing the most astonished group of persons in Westchester County standing open mouthed upon the steps of the Jamison’s porch. For a moment they were stunned by the thing. Speechless. Then they talked. Well, what d’vou think of that? Hank Rodman. Yessir, Hank Rodman, of all men. That business owl. Old Hank Rodman who hates women’ and never goes to dances and is too busy to say good morning to his secretary, falling for Florence Farley. Yes, and Florence fall- ing for him, that’s stranger still. The entire party unanimously turned upon each other, the same sentence on every lip. “Now what on earth do you suppose she saw in him?” LORENCE FARLEY was in love. The cool, efficient, precise champion, the girl who was untouched by the most emo- tional of matches, the wildest of crowds, was in love with her young husband. Her game—well, that could take care of itself. She was in love and she was in love with Hank and she wanted to be with him, near him always, and that was that. If she could play she would, if she couldn’t, well, it was hard luck. Yet as she fingered the envelope with the small English writing that morning, she felt a trace of something stirring within, the call per- haps to battle, the feeling of conflict in the air. For the summons to defend her Wimbledon title was in that letter. But all this was swept out of her mind as she sat in the small dining room of their apartment watching Hank’s figure through the open doors as he shaved with brisk, quick movements. His happy voice came to her as he sang, it was husky, and dear to her heart. Presently he came to the table putting on his coat, and sitting down picked up the pile of letters. _ “Mrs. Henry Rodman, Mrs. Rodman, Mrs. Rodman, Miss Florence Farley; ¥ “Road To Bigger Things,’’ and “Y Fos 35 ie Sng eter 1 re > hs aes ee A 4 Nite eee ae f 103 MODERN ART I, this Age of Color... the amazing demand for art work of all kinds is creating hundreds of big-pay oppor- tunities every year.

No, its only the electric light bill. What are they after ‘now, all those foreigners? Want you to play next spring, I suppose.’ “T haven’t opened them. This is from old Foster-Williams at Wimbledon . . . let’s see what he says. H’m “We are looking forward to the great pleasure of seeing you at Wimbledon this spring . and have reserved your usual suite at the Park Lane. .. .”. Oh he has, has he? es he can just unreserve it, that’s “But listen, Florence, I want you to defend your title. Honest, you must dear.” : “What! And leave you? We've been all over this, Hank. Now when you have so much on your mind, and the deal is Just coming to a close. No, Mr. Rodman.” GHE spoke as if she meant what she said, and she did. She was not leaving Hank, not just that moment anyhow, even if it did hurt at times to think of the Wimbledon battlefield without Flor- ence Farley. And the nearer the time came, as soon as it grew possible to prac- tise outdoors and the men from the papers kept asking her when she was going over and why she wouldn’t defend her title, then it was a little difficult to put thoughts of Wimbledon out of her head. Then one night he came home Pa work his face alight, his eyes excited. He tried to pretend there was nothing much up when he handed her the folder; but she knew differently. It was a first class passage to Europe upon the Majestic sailing in ten days. She shook her head, she wanted in a way to go and yet now that he had done this she wanted to leave less.than ever, now her thoughts and desires were centered on her husband and not upon winning a title. But he was insistent, he laughed and joked and told her that she must go, that she owed it to the game. ... Florence, who had heard that argument before, did not like it much, either. testing in his arms she said: “But Hank, I’ve had no practise. No practise at all to speak of. And it takes so long to get acclimated over there; why there’s only, let’s see, six, eight, eleven days before the thing begins. Win easily? No I couldn’t either. Those girls aren’t the least bit afraid of me. You don’t understand, Hank dear, and you, leaving you now, with all this on your mind . . . I hate to, honestly I do. Of course it’s darling of you and I do love playing there and all that, but. “But nothing. Don’t you see, five days over, three weeks there and five days back. Just a little over a month. And if the merger comes through with Dad why I'll take a whole month off and we'll trip around Europe and up the Rhine and down to Paris together. How’s that, dear?”’ She knew he wouldn’t. Ever.. The merger with his father, despite all his father could do to fight it off, was ap- proaching nearer every day. It meant that Hank, her Hank, was to be a big man in the power industry in the coun- She could juggle sums as his wife juggled Pro- - Physical Culture 4 try; it meant a partnership with old Hank Rodman of K. C. No, leaving him wasn’t an easy thing. It was hard, dead hard, downright hard, when she kissed him good- by in her state- room on C Deck. As the boat pulled away from the dock she felt more dis- mally lonesome and unhappy than she had ever felt in all her life. Until sud- denly she saw Evelyn Brown on the promenade deck. Evelyn had partnered her several years before at Wimbledon when she won the singles and doubles that time. They fell to talking of their profession and Evelyn, who had seen the young French girl, Mademoiselle Desfforges, play at Cannes, began to warn her. For an hour the two girls walked the deck talking. Just as she was parting to dress for dinner did that sudden pang of loneli- ness come back. On the way down to her room she passed a group standing in a hall and she heard someone say, ““The one on the out- side. Used to be Florence Farley until she married that Rodman boy last year. He’s just some kind of a business man I believe. What do you think she saw in him?” The merger went through. Old Hank Rodman, being a smart man, knew when he was licked. The fact was that he became secretly highly delighted to be beaten by his son, and a clever son too, as he had discovered to his cost. Now Henry Rodman and Henry Rodman, Jr. of New York were one; just Henry Rodman, Inc., with branches all over the country, the most powerful utilities firm in the world. Work piled up fast with the merger; but finally young Hank found someone to help him through the stormy seas of financial responsibility. A clever young girl, who had been practising for a few years with a big legal firm on the Street as a subordinate clerk, was recommended as someone with a flair for mcome tax work and an all round genius for figures. He soon found Helen Clark all of that. a tennis ball; she supplemented him in the office in a marvelous manner. “OF course it’s pretty far ahead,’ he said to Florence one snowy after- noon in winter, looking out the window of their apartment at stragglers in the stormy dusk below. “But if this Clark girl pans out as she ought to and if Father will help out with some of the western stuff, I ought to be able to make the trip with you next spring.” “Oh, Hank, how wonderful! Just think, Europe with you . . . we'd go to Paris, wouldn’t we? I’d love to play in the French championships and get ready for London later in the month. You know I really didn’t get over in time last summer, I wasn’t much good. No, I wasn’t either, I was darn lucky to get past that French child. She’s good and going to be a whole lot better. I know — — what I’m talking about. I can beat her on grass but not on dirt.” = “But I thought it was dirt in Paris 7 and grass in London. Aren’t the courts — in France all dirt?” “They are. Only I’d just play doubles and the mixed there, no singles. See? I’d sort of get warmed up for Wimbledon, . MRR ie hs DM tric Cs lag iy

Besides, that would give me time to go round places with you.” Thus was it arranged. But in the Street one’s plans are as nothing, and the closer it came to the first week in May the surer Hank was that he would have trouble getting away. Up to a week before sailing he continued his plan as though he were surely leaving. But that night when he came home, Florence knew by the look on his face that something had happened. Briefly he explained; a telephone call from Kansas City indicated that his father needed an instant operation. Only Hank remained to carry things along during the crisis. Europe for the present was out of the question. “TOR the moment, Floss dear... Only for a while I hope. But just now with Father sick like this and business in gen- eral in the condition it is, I’d hardly dare leave. But Father’ll pull through all right, and then I can come across for the last week of Wimbledon in July.” : “Hank Rodman! Do you think I’m going over again and leave you?”’ “Don’t be silly, my dear. Of course you're going. Why Id feel terrible if you didn’t. Besides, with two legs on that Cup now, you must go this year and win it for good. You must go, yes you must, I insist.” So for the second time, for the second time against her will, Florence went off alone. She said to herself that if it hadn’t been for those two legs on the Cup she would never have gone, she promised herself that this was the last time, positively the last time she would come over without Hank. But the news that came from home was good. His father rallied quickly from the operation. The firm was busy, and Henry Rodman, Inc. was doing more work than any two houses on the Street. Meanwhile she herself was busy in Paris; dress fittings in the morning, practise matches in the afternoon, and the days rolled rapidly around until it was almost time for her to go to London. In fact it was the day before she was to leave that she came across that annoy- ing—yes, and that is what it was—that annoying bit of gossip. Some traveller had left the clipping on a table in the salon of the hotel, and she had chanced to glance at it while waiting for dinner. It was merely the meanderings of a New York columnist in a gossipy news- paper: : “What famous woman athlete’s hus- band is being seen in an expensive speak- easy on 61st Street with his secretary these days while his wife is abroad?” That was all. She read it and read it again. No, it wouldn’t be, couldn’t be, couldn’t be. Secretary! Secretary in- deed! As if Hank would bother with secretaries, Hank who rarely looked at a woman in his office, who never even knew their names’ It was laughable. For just a second the suspicion that it might be his Miss Clark flashed across her mind: but she dismissed it. Or rather she tried to dismiss the whole thing. Yet it persisted back in a corner of her brain She had ten days’ time to prepare for best Wimbledon and she needed it. To win she had need to be perfectly primed. mentally, physically, she must have possession of all her faculties. So she kept the most regular hours, practised faithfully with the professionals at Wimbledon, and read Hank’s daily wire with affection. But if his father was better as he said, if the Old Man was recovering, why couldn’t he come over? Wimbledon was to begin on the Mon. day. Just a week before Florence went down to her bank early in the morning to cash a check before leaving for prac-’ tise, and while waiting for the necessary formalities to be performed on her signa- ture, she turned to one side and began glancing over the files of a New York Sunday newspaper. A face looked at her from the rotogravure section. It was the face of her husband. Beside him was a charming young lady. ‘The Husband of Florence’ Farley, the Champion. Henry Rodman, the Banker, at the Beach Club, Westchester, with a Friend.”’ A friend! The girl was Helen Clark. She went out to practise an hour later unable to keep her mind or her eye on the ball. Everything went wrong, her strokes, her timing, her footwork; she was slow, clumsy, ineffective. She played badly and she knew she was play- ing badly and at the end of twenty-five minutes she stopped. “I don’t know, I guess I’ve had enough, Hilton,” she said to the English professional who was knocking balls around for her. With that she went back to the dressing room to bathe and change. There she received her second shock of the day. She was in her bath at one side of the large dressing room when Evelyn Brown and another American girl came in to dress for their practise. They were both from New York, and they chattered away, Florence inside paying not the slightest attention to them. It was not until she heard the younger girl’s voice mentioning her name that her wandering attention was arrested. “My dear, Jack said he’d seen Florence’s husband twice with her now about town. If I get a good-looking man like that I won’t go chasing tennis titles in Europe, believe me.” No mistake. now. Florence stirred uneasily in the bath. The two girls con- tinued talking, and finally went out to play, before Florence dried_ herself and left the room at the side. But once she was alore she moved rapidly. In twenty minutes she had packed her bag, dressed, and was at the entrance. ‘A taxi, please, Ellis,” she said to the attendant.- “The Park Lane. As fast as you can make it.”’ "T WEN TY-five minutes later she was in the hotel lobby. “Let me see your boat schedules for the States please,”’ she said to the hall porter. She glanced at the calendar above his head. The 22nd. There it was, the Europa, leaving South- hampton the 22nd, reaching New York the ...the... 27th. Boat train leaves Waterloo at 2:30 p. m. on the 22nd... . It was already twenty minutes past one.

The big boat bucked and ploughed through wave _ troughs, hammered and plunged into the foam, reared and tossed its head in the spume that spun about its bow. Off the Banks there was fog, there was more fog when they neared the entrance of the harbor, until Florence began to think the fates were against her return. It was late afternoon when the ship finally docked and Florence got away from the pier. She didn’t wire him, notify him in advance, for fear it would worry him. He’d wonder why she was _ leaving Wimbledon cold, whether she was ill. Still, as she wrangled with customs offi- cials, she wished he had been there to meet her. As soon as she could she got to a telephone. “Barclay 6500.”’ She was more nerv- ous than she had ever been in a big match. “Barclay 6500? Mr. Henry Rodman? Mrs. Rodman talking. Yes, this is Mrs. Rodman... well I just got in... he’s not there . . . he’s gone out of town for the week end? Oh . . She realized suddenly how hot it was, that she was tired and hadn’t slept the night before, and that everything was sticky and that she was excessively cross. This wasn’t exactly the home-coming she had expected. With difficulty she got her things into a taxi and reached their apartment. The maid was startled and alarmed. Yes, Mr. Rodman was all right, he had gone somewhere for the week-end, had packed his bag that morning. West- chester, she thought. Florence bathed while her things were being unpacked, and when dressing made up her mind. She hadn’t come home for nothing; where Hank was, there she would go! After a cup of tea she set out again in a taxi for the station. It was dark when she finally reached the little suburban town on the water- Physical Culture — The back way led across the spacious lawns of the Jamison’s and then through the Montgomery’s place down along the water to the club house. It was a warm night, but there was a blessed coolness in the air down by the sea, and even the turf felt soft and fresh to her feet as she stepped across the grass and through the hedge that separated the two places. Down along the stone wall with the water lapping gently below, across to the row of poplars standing against the evening sky, until she could see the light from the club house and make out the tom-tom- tom of the band. A rustic summer house, which stood by the side of the sea half in darkness and half in the light from the veranda, held two persons. She could hear the murmuring of their voices as she drew near, and for a second she fancied there was familiar note. No, nobody she knew. But yes, there was. Suddenly she recognized those deep tones of her husband, his voice and yet not his voice, a tired voice, peevish, disturbed, un-Hank-like. What he was saying she could not distinguish. Silence, and then plainly, unmistakably a kiss. . . . He said something inaudible, some- thing that drew forth a laugh from his companion, a jarring, grating, mocking laugh. She saw Hank rise from the shadows and stand up. He started to speak. What he would have said to the woman, Florence never knew. She did not care. She cared for nothing but her husband and she saw immediately he needed her. Before that unpleasant laugh had died away, before he could speak, she stepped impulsively forward into the lighted path before the summer house. ‘Hank, I’m here. Here I am, Hank.” He came forward, running to her side; ‘Florence, Florence, what’s the matter, dear?” HE buried her in his arms, crushed her to him, swept her with his affection. His voice choked, and in the lights his wife could see tears in his eyes; suddenly she realized that he had been under a great strain and that at last the strain was over. He stood there kissing her and kissing her again and again, rather foolishly, in front of the self-possessed young woman in evening clothes who stood looking on. A glance told Florence who she was. A keen face, pretty but hard. Hard and yet intellectual. Hank admired intellectual women. But he loved her. 39> *‘Miss Clark ... my wife...” said_ Hank, paving not much attention to the young lady. ‘How do you do, Mrs. Rodman?” said the financial wizard of Henry Rod- man, Inc. to the lady who at that mo- ment was losing her Wimbledon Cham- pionship by default. “You'll excuse me, won’t you?” She passed on up the path to the porch of the iit oe etal ee _* ab te ee ei ee iA 9 eee vent Paton eget tareng d h d ‘3 d h b i l b h ud individwel’ petleats front, and she decided the best thing to club house. es and individual patients ront, a ; wg - ek oer nee Mensa do would be to go straight to the Jami- There was a crowd of people standing 3 © wd ¢ Ge: et : ree i Swedish Massage and Hy- son’s.

Here is the monu- mental work for which Bernarr Mac- - fadden’s thousands of followers the world over have been waiting for! It is a crowning achievement to his life of usefulness and of service to suf- fering humanity. It is a worthy suc- cessor to the famous Encyclopedia of Physical Culture, which has saved so many lives and has brought increasing happiness and success and vibrant health to countless thousands. Five long, hard years have gone into its preparation—years of hard labor by a staff of authorities under the personal direction of Mr. Macfadden. Over $175,000 has already been spent on the work of preparation. And now it is done—and ready to take its place as the greatest forward step in health-building ever known. EVER SEEN What this means to YOU! The Encyclopedia of Health is the Encyclopedia of Physical Culture en- tirely rebuilt. It is not in any sense a revision, but an entirely new work from the first word to the last, com- plete, unabridged, all-inclusive; eight big, beautifully-bound volumes. Every one of the 3800 pages con- tains new text; nearly 1400 pictures— every one new! And 120 of these are pictures in natural colors. Bernarr Macfadden, the Father of canis Culture, has re more 1400 ILLUSTRATIONS 120 PICTURES IN FOUR | upon his Encyclopedia of Physical Culture as his favorite among his vast interests. The letters that have come to him by thousands, telling him of lives saved, homes saved, increased health and happiness, have given him greater pleasure than anything else. To you—and to everybody having a. health problem or who, for any reason, is not getting the most out of life in the way of health, happiness and success, this great, beautiful work will be a key to the secrets and mysteries of health, oes and a long life of usefulness.

POI a EE Pty © Pate ie nO Physical Cultus ‘ ik YOU ARE SICK—RUN DOWN DESPONDENT HERE'S THE WAY BACK TO HEALTH & HAPPINESS This will give an idea of the large size of each of these volumes, and of the beautiful die-tooled embossed cover on each volume of the Encyclopedia, Bernarr Macfadden has always looked upon his Encyclopedia of Physical Culture as his first love. Thousands and thousands of sets of that work have been sold throughout the world over the past twenty years. About every three years, revisions became necessary, until the Eighth Edition was sold out. Meantime, it became increasingly apparent that five volumes were insufficient to cover the fast-growing list of new scientific dis- coveries and their fe pea to the health of the nation. More room was necessary. Hundreds of new pictires were required. Then came the order to his staff: “Prepare a whole new work from start to finish. Make it the finest thing of its kind in the world.” The Encyclopedia of Health is the result. BEFORE I want you to know that I have studied your Encyclopedia just as I would a course of law. When I first received the books } was recuperating from an “seam in which the doctors e no hope. I am sure if I adn *t had the books I would not be in the good health J AFTER am now. I advise anyone (whether they are sick or well) to get the Encyclopedia and go according to the simple rules laid down in plain every-day English—easily un- derstandable—So writes Chester Fulk, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Good health is your right. If you are sick it is because you yourself do things that bring on disorder and disease. If you are run-down and “don’t care whether school keeps or not,” it is because you have violated some of the laws of old Mother Nature. The Encyclopedia of Health will show you the way to correct living. It will take you by the hand and lead you to the right foods to eat, tell you when not to eat and why; it will help you to lift yourself out of your miasma of disease, of ill-health, and show you the-secret to vigorous, vibrant, exultant good health and happiness. YOU CAN GLOW WITH HEALTH It is up to you to say whether you will be nervous, vitiated, sick and weakly, or whether you shall glow with vitality and strength—equipped to face life’s problems with good-will and good cheer—and that’s going a long way to success in your work. The Encyclopedia of Health points the way. It contains the latest knowl- edge mankind has obtained through scientific experiment and discovery— and the last few years have brought startling new ideas from the labora- tories of science. Your body is the most wonderful, most delicately adjusted mechanism -known in the world. Neglect it— abuse it—and it will go wrong. Ill health and disease will follow. If it is not in perfect working order, it will burn up more energy than it can spare, and open the door to all kinds of ailments. HOW TO RESIST DISEASE _ Treat your body right—and few people know how to treat it right! —and you can put it in perfect condi- tion and keep it there. And that is exactly what the Encyclopedia of Health will do for you! It will show you how to treat your body as it should be treated; how to make it overcome and then resist all disease; how to make it last years and years longer than it other- wise may. It shows how to cultivate correct mental habits; how to make the most of your personality—in short, how to make the most of life! _ I am sending you a picture of our Physical Culture baby on ac- count of your won- derful Encyclopedia —Mrs. R.

Wynn, You can prolong your life if you learn how to rule your health as you know how to govern your actions. In fact, the life of the average person can be extended 15 years! And those last 15 years are the ones we work and slave through early life merely to be able to enjoy. Yet how few of us live to realize that desire! But we can—you can—do it. From maturity to old age, the break- ing down and wearing out process is :N process in our vital organs. But, be- cause there is no pain, no noticeable symptom, the victim ignores the little warning signals until stricken down with a dangerous disease. LITTLE THINGS LEAD TO DEATH When one is exhausted easily, or suffers from headache, loss of appetite, easily takes cold in the head or chest, has a dull ache across the back, spots before the eyes, ringing in the ears, one should take heed. These are the first warnings of de- rangement of the human machine. Ignore these little signals and you may let yourself in for a serious, or even a fatal, illness. Pay heed to these little warnings! Find out which of a hundred things may be the cause! Then remove the cause by ceasing to do the things Nature forbids! ‘That is what the Encyclopedia of Health will help you to do—to find these causes and to show you how to correct them. WHAT OF YOUR CHILDREN? And you mothers and fathers. What of your children? What are their little lives worth to you? What may it mean to their future success and happiness to be stricken down with some danger- ous, possibly deforming disease, such as meningitis or scarlet fever?

February, 1931 4q Bending the Twig = the Iree years of “mothering,” I have these con- clusions to offer. Your child’s intelli- gence and character is (and will remain) _ what it is on the day of hisbirth. They are both the result of the mixed heri- tage that comes down to him. And al- though all your children have identical ancestry, they do not necessarily inherit the same traits, nor in the same propor- tions. Each child will be different. I understand, now, that this is right if individuality is to be preserved. j N THE face of it, this conclusion sounds discouraging. From _ one standpoint it is, for it complicates the vo- cation of parenthood, and multiplies its problems by the number of your offspring. On the other hand, it makes it all the more interesting, and success all the more an achievement. For, although you may — not change your child, you may (if you have the wit and the patience) emphasize his good traits and diminish the bad ones. If you are “on the job,” you may even, on occasion, play off one trait against another to advantage, or even use a bad tendency to good effect. The principal thing to keep in mind is that you must not jump at conclusions, and before you can count yourself a factor for good in your child’s development, you must thoroughly understand your child. 4 Whenever I hear a parent say “I - treat all my children alike,” I know that particular parent is lacking in in- telligence. If you stop to think, I believe you will agree with me that no two children are identical. How. then, do you expect to be successful if you treat them all alike? Take the matter of punishment. [I, personally, dislike the idea of whipping. I have always tried other methods first. But the results have been surprising. To Leonard and Ruth, an explanation of why something was wrong was always enough. Both of them had extremely good reasoning power from babyhood. But with the others—well, some will re- spond to rewards for good conduct, others must be controlled by punishment. Ridicule works with one of my children. She has a keen sense of humor, and is quick to appreciate a joke, even on her- self. She is the only one, however. In most children, a sense of humor develops slowly. Unless you are very confident of your child, don’t try cure by ridicule. More often than not it hurts in a way that tends to make the child feel inferior —always a thing to be avoided. One of my children (and I think it significant ' that he is the least intelligent) never _ responded to anything but spanking and _ being deprived of his food. I object to _ the latter punishment, as affecting physi- - cal well-being. A whipping, properly - administered, is sometimes indispensable! In my article in the August issue of - Puysicat Cutrureg, I outlined a sort of - general scheme of child-training. I shall not, therefore, go into that side of the - question again. The purpose of this article is to help those mothers and _ oe SE et es en eg ee can Pet ie, 2 eas a3 sar og es eine: ee +e eee a to Incline Continued from page 51 fathers who find themselves confronted with special problems—things totally unexpected and unprovided for—some the result of heritage, some of environ- ment. I knew of one instance where an apparently model child stole the sum of one dollar from her grandmother. The fall from grace was sudden and, to the grandmother, unaccountable. It was the one and only offense of the kind. But several years of the child’s life were made miserable by the constant references to it. ‘Phe little girl was made to feel that she had done not only a criminal thing, but that she had made a good start to- ward the penitentiary. child was, at least in her own mind, taking only what belonged to her. Her mother, who was away, had sent her a dollar to buy some books she wanted. The grandmother, a thrifty soul, had calmly appropriated the money, saying, “Books indeed! What you need, Miss, are four pair of good thick stockings.”’ And though the little girl wore the stock- ings, she was determined to have back her dollar for those books. And she stole exactly that amount, carefully putting back a nickel to make correct change! I know all about it because, you see, I was the little girl! And I still have the books. And I contend that a child who wanted ten classics instead of four pair of hose deserved to be handled with greater acumen. There is always a cause when a child suddenly develops an unexpected ten- dency. To the child, his own line of reasoning is perfectly logical, no matter how absurd it may seem to you. That is why it is always worth while—in fact, absolutely necessary—to hunt for that cause before you attempt to correct a fault. And don’t be too hard on the child if he can’t help you out. His seeming sullenness and sudden stupidity is often a shell to protect himself against questions which he is quite incapable of answering. For although his reasoning may have seemed logical to him in the silence of his own mind, it has much the same quality as a dream. When he attempts to put it into words he is sud- denly overwhelmed by his own inability to make it sound convincing, even to himself. GOMETIMES, watchful waiting is the wisest course. A little girl whose health had been poor from birth and who, in consequence, was behind the children of her age in school, had an unfortunate habit of saying or doing something and then looking around to assure herself that everyone present had ‘observed her. Quite often, relatives and friends would remark upon the habit, frequently be- fore the child. The little girl was awk- ward at whatever she attempted, and so backward in her studies that school be- came a sort of nightmare. Even the home hours were shadowed by the school work which never seemed to be done by bed time, no matter how hard she tried. At length, the mother. who was a woman In reality, the ies ~who became the worlds most | perfectly formed | woman. — | Annette Kellermann’s / Own Story ANY people will be surprised to hear that as a child I was so deformed as to be practically a cripple. The world knows me today as “the most perfectly formed woman,” and it is natural to assume that I have always been fortunate enough to pos- sess a@ symmetrical body. Quite the opposite is true however. I was formerly so weak, so puny as to be an invalid. I was bow-legged to an extreme degree; I could neither stand nor walk with- out iron braces which I wore constantly. No one. ever dreamed that someday I would become famous for the persia proportions of my gure. No one ever thought I would become the champion woman swimmer of the world. No one ever dared to guess that I would be some day starred in great feature films such as “ Daughter of the Gods,” ‘“‘Nep- tune’s Daughter,” etc. Yet that is exactly what has hap- pened. I relate these incidents of my early life and my present success simpiy te show that no woman need be discouraged with. her figure, her health or her complexion. The truth is tens of thousands of tired, sickly, over- weight or underweight women have already proved that a perfect figure and radiant health can be acquired in only fifteen minutes a day, through the same methods that I myself used. In fact, so remarkable are the results that I have brought to other women that I find far greater gratification in helping others than in all the praise and acclamation I myself have re- ceived. It became my ambition to extend my services to womankind, and as a result I de- veloped a method by which I could make my help available to any woman, anywhere, right in her own home. I invite any woman who is interested to write to me. I will gladly prove to you in 10 days that you can learn to acquire the body beautiful, how to make your complexion rosy from the inside, in- stead of from the outside, how to freshen and brighten and clarify a muddy, sallow, pimply face, how to stand and walk gracefully, how to add or remove, weight at any part of the body; hips, bust, arms, shoulders, chin, limbs, waist, abdomen; how to be full of health, strength and energy so ~ that you can enjoy life to the utmost, how to be free from colds, headaches, neuralgia, nervous- ness, constipation, weak back, and the many other ailments due to physical inefficiency; in short, how to acquire perfect womanhood.

De- termined to do what she could to remedy matters, the mother, first of all, cautioned the immediate family against all com- ments before the child. Secondly, she made a point of asking the child’s help occasionally, and giving her certain fixed duties (being careful always that they be simple enough that successful perform- ance was assured). And lastly, she called upon the school superintendent and ex- plained her problem and the _ solution which she proposed to try. He was in sympathy with her idea at once, and im- mediately took the child’s teacher into the conspiracy. When the teacher under- stood the child’s handicap of ill health and self-distrust, she proved to be most sympathetic. Laura’s lessons were made as simple as possible. For instance, when the class had twenty problems for home work, she was given five. She wanted to learn, and with her mother’s help, she was able to do the smaller stint each night, correctly. The teacher never failed to praise the neatness of her paper or to say some word of commendation. Soon Laura had lost much of her self consciousness. With that gone, she lost also the old habit of speaking and acting with the idea of attracting attention. Gradually her poor health (which had been largely due to nervousness) im- proved. The teacher slowly mcreased her lessons until she was doing the regu- lar work reasonably well. She now gives every indication that she will, hereafter, be able to hold her own with children of her age. Luckily she had a wise mother and two others, the super- intendent and the teacher, who were willing to take the time and trouble to help her to happy normalcy. ONE problem which at some time or other confronts nearly every parent is that of undesirable companions. I always hesitate to forbid a particular friend to a child. It is apt to lend glamour and interest to the friendship, and you run the risk that the companion- ship will be continued secretly. When- ever I have occasion to fear that an un- desirable friendship is threatening I am more than usually cordial in my invita- tions to bring the friend around. The presence of mother, father and the family acts as acurb. Also, when your children see their friends among home folk they, nine times out of ten, unconsciously make comparisons. If the friend does not measure up, the child will become con- scious of the fact. Discontentment often causes _heart- ache both to parent and child. On at least two occasions chance has helped me in the handling of it. Of course, from the first, I have tried to teach appreciation of what one has. I still recall a funny incident which happened when Leonard was about four and Rodman a bit over two. The latter had just been outfitted with new shoes, but the family budget only allowed for a patch on Leonard’s old ones. On the way to the shop, and in an endeavor to soften his possible disappointment, I had, in my best Polly- anna manner, told him what a “nice” patch it would be. As we left the shoe- Physical Culture maker’s the air was rent with loud howls = It developed that he — from Rodman. wanted a “nice” patch, too, instead of new shoes! So easily is contentment won “‘when we are very young.” On yet another occasion chance took a hand and helped me out. I had taken one of the children to Philadelphia to shop. We made our modest purchases and ate our supper in a cheap restaurant. “Wouldn’t it be nice if we had lots of money and could buy everything we wanted!’ exclaimed my youngster. “It’s tough always to count pennies when everyone else has so much.”’ SAID that money and the ability to “buy everything” didn’t necessarily bring happiness, and that we were really not badly off, compared with many others. Besides, we all have health—that most priceless of all blessings—not to mention a goodly share of home happiness and love. I don’t suppose my words carried much conviction to a little girl eager for pretty clothes and furbelows. After we had eaten, we stood waiting for the bus. It was raining and we sought shelter under the awning of a restaurant. It was one of those quick lunch places—with the menu on a slip of | q paper pasted to the window. Presently a woman and a little girl stopped. Slowly the mother read down the list, while the child tugged at her hand and tried to attract her attention to a gorgeous cake on display. After long perusal of the bill of fare, the woman opened her purse and counted the change therein. Then, taking the little girl’s hand, she walked slowly away. There were tears in my child’s eyes when she turned to me. “I never realized before, that there are other_ people who have to count their pennies.” In a family the size of my own, life is just one problem after another! Happily, they have, with one exception, been small ones. Whether my handling of the big one has been for the best, only the years will show. I should like to tell you of as many problems as we have been able to meet succéssfully; but I think one more— _a very little one—will have to suffice. Perhaps you have a small boy like my Jimmy, always taking things apart to see how they work. If you have, be sure to try my remedy. Jim has a tool chest with about six real tools. He also has one end of a side porch for a work shop, and a kindly groceryman keeps him sup- - plied with crates and boxes. ‘The family also donates such useful articles as old sparkplugs, broken alarm clocks and — equally interesting cast-offs. And the joy that small boy gets out of tinkering with broken toys and building new ones _is a delight to the soul. When the shop has a busy day the air is filled with the sound of hammering and what could be a better prophecy of a happy and successful man than a little boy who whistles as he plans and works? The combined sounds of whistling and hammering always somehow bring to my mind the One Hundredth Psalm: “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. | “Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing.” And isn’t that the purpose of life—to See = work, to serve; to be happy and to give happiness? I think so. : 3

February, 1931 ee gi i Os a ea was powerless against it. There was a roaring sound in her ears and she felt herself being whirled about with a dizzy . rapidity. Suction was drawing her down. : Her temples throbbed as she tried her best to hold her breath. She wanted to call to Tony, but knew that the effort was useless. Expert swimmer though she was, she realized all-too keenly that unless some help should reach her soon it must come too late. Then the terrible pressure seemed to relax and Sheila opened her eyes. ‘It was dark, but the water was warm, and the current was gentle now. Exhausted, Sheila floated as though ina dream. The air had the scent of dankness, and she supposed she was drifting along a sub- terranean passage. - | After. a seemingly endless time, she grew vaguely conscious of a light ahead. . She could make out the limestone walls of a narrow passage, and a moment later : the stream emerged into a sort of pool. F Above, its shadowy walls were arched _ * like a cathedral dome. She felt a rocky surface beneath her feet. and found she | could stand up. Weak from her struggle, : but resolute, she stumbled toward a mossy shelf and sank down upon it. A fire was burning just beyond, and it cast the gigantic shadow of a man against : the walls. She must have uttered a faint cry for now the shadow moved. It grew to tremendous proportions. Then, as it : vanished, a figure appeared a few yards . away from her. In an instant, Sheila : recognized the owner of the little shop in Charlotte Street. His baggy breeches F were thrust into boots and his open flannel shirt revealed the matted hair of his chest. Short sleeves showed bulging muscles, and into a sash about his waist were thrust an automatic and a wicked : looking knife. He was staring at her with frank surprise as she looked up at him in terror. F “Very nice to come.” Mendoza grinned. “How you like my place?” With a twist of her wrist, he tumbled her : to the bed of the moss-grown rock. 3 GHEILA was weak and shivering. The _ \ warmth of the fire felt pleasant, yet the warmth of Mendoza’s welcome might prove anything but that. “How does one get out of here?’ she asked him challengingly. Somehow she must convince him that her presence was an accident—that she had not come deliberately to spy upon his secret. “Why you want to go away quick?” he asked in his broken English. “You think Mendoza stupid? You make very nice drawing on old map. You guess pretty near directions. Maybe you ‘dream them—yes?”’ | That made her sure that Mendoza was the man she had discovered in her father’s library. In an instant the mystery was - solved. Mendoza had never intended that map to be placed on sale. He had only realized that it was the one she had bought after her leaving his shop. Of course, when he had recovered it, he would naturally have been puzzled by the _ directions she had faked for the finding of buried treasure. By the strangest . Te Peer Ti, bl bic ia baa be Fe eee) RL ee et ee She might wander Q The Lady and the Pirate ___Continued from page 58 chance, she must have hit on the actual location of his hiding place. ‘““Maybe you think you know secret?” he said and shrugged his shoulders. “People in camp best keep away. Only trouble comes of meddling with Men- doza’s business. But tonight Mendoza is lucky. It is not often pretty girl comes floating on the water.” 3 AS he appraised her with narrowed eyes, Sheila sprang to her feet. Her one brief struggle with him would be nothing to what might happen if his actions forced her to battle with him there. The man’s strength must be prodigious. But there was, perhaps, a chance of wresting the knife from his belt. As she stood ready to meet his attack, he regarded her with amusement tinged with admiration. “All of a sudden spunky, eh?’ He observed her preparation with obvious enjoyment. “Little tiger-cat needs tam- ing! Mendoza knows how very well.” “What do you want—is it money?” she asked contemptuously. “Easy get plenty money,” he answered ironically. “If you behave like nice little cat, maybe Mendoza show you all sorts of pretty things.” In spite of her innate courage, Sheila’s knees were trembling, but she was reso- lute. Shrewd as well as unscrupulous, it would take all of her nimble wit as well as her strength to escape him. But he made no move to touch her. Instead, he calmly lit his pipe while he watched her slightest movement. ‘“‘Now you listen,” he said gruffly, all pretense of courtesy gone. “If Mendoza say so, no one in camp ever go back to St. Augustine. Nobody know how it happen. They just disappear like you. Only you and Mendoza go off to some other place.” Sheila stared at him horrified as she fully grasped his meaning. He was calmly proposing to murder the whole party and carry her off with him. “Don’t be absurd!” —Sheila’s curled. “‘Do you think I'd bargain with you?” he | “Very good bargain. You like it. You plenty pretty. Plenty muscle, too. You like big lover. Mendoza big—very kind—very rich. He give you every- thing.”’ It required but little deduction to realize that Mendoza was the head of a bootlegging ring. And perhaps there was other treasure in his island storehouse. Perhaps he was the master-mind who directed the frequent jewel thefts at Miami and Palm Beach. But her grow- ing suspicion that this was true did not help her any. Even if she could elude him in actual physical struggle, how could she possibly find her way out of the place unaided? ‘To return by the way she had come was out of the question, of course. through endless labyrinths until she was exhausted—and _ the exit, if she found it, was certain to be guarded. Then, as she stood weighing what it was best to do, Sheila saw something moving slowly through the water. Men- doza stood with his back to the stream, lip. ee 336 FALTH fork¥OU “Work Made Easy!

114 - and Sheila breathed a fervent prayer that he would not turn around. He still faced her as Sasota clambered up the edge. Mendoza must have noticed her in- voluntary start. He wheeled about, and like a flash, his automatic was leveled at the crouching Indian. Its roar rang out through the cavern and Sheila stared in horror as Sasota toppled backwards into the swift-running stream. 2 | A torment of helpless frenzy, Sheila’s father’s thoughts were bitteras he stood | outside his tent. More than four hours had elapsed since Sheila’s disappearance. In his suffering, he blamed himself for having encouraged her love of sports and _ those healthful feats of daring which had led her into this. To add to the irony of it, earlier that evening, P. J. had asked Alicia if she would marry him. And although he did not know it, at that very moment, Alicia was struggling with herself in the stillness of her tent. If Sheila was not to come back to them, it would be all the harder | for Alicia to confess what she knew she must to Currie—before she could marry him. Alicia knew of the theft of the map and of Sheila’s battle with the burglar in the library—likewise of her anxiety lest Tony Jerome might be accused of the shooting of Phil Davega. And of course, _ Alicia was aware that P. J. had no inkling of any of these things. That meant she must tell is some- thing else of which she was practically certain. That was why Davega had been found murdered on the beach. Behind this previous tragedy was something that might sweep her into its widespread net. That must not deter ber now, for her knowledge buoyed up her hope for Sheila’s safety—if Alicia acted quickly. Making her way through the silent camp, she hurried to P. J.’s tent. “P. J.,’ she said earnestly, “please listen till I’m through. You must know about this some time—and I feel that it’s important that you know it now.’ Then she told him briefly of her relations with Davega, how she had introduced ~ him to people he might interest in his _ financial schemes—and how she _ had profited at times by these introductions. * “So.” she concluded pathetically, “Tm a sort of adventuress.”’ “Why tell me this? I knew most of it—and I’ve asked you to marry me,” P. J. said wearily. Her hand pressed his affectionately. ‘But there’s something else,”’ she urged, **Phil persuaded me to let him sell Bland- ford short forme. He said you were going to sell that way, and that his tip was straight.” “T rather thought he'd swallow my bait,” Currie said quietly. “Whenever Davega was at the house, he seemed to take rea! interest in my secretary’s desk.

J.,” he said, “‘there’s something afoot! We've been scouting about with Sasota’s boys, and we’ve found the old man’s body. It was floating in a stream that probably comes from the lake. He wasn’t drowned—he was shot. _ “Gerhard!” P. J. was galvanized into instaht action. “Tell the Captain to arm the yacht’s crew and stand by for instructions. Keep the women in camp and post a guard.

But she realized that she must not relax her vigilance now. On her self-possession during the next few minutes, everything might depend. It was evident that Mendoza expected a further attack. With his back to the cavern wall, he watched the stream intently. Sheila was thinking fast. Since Sasota had found the way, the others would no doubt follow.. She could not disarm Mendoza, but the moment he raised his pistol she meant to spring at him. Per- haps she could push him over the ledge before he could squeeze the trigger. Possibly he sensed her scheme, for with- out a word he seized her arm with a grip that made her wince. Roughly he dragged her in front of him, and with a powerful twist of her wrist, forced her to her knees. — In her agony she could not suppress a ery of pain. Looking down at her with a grin, Mendoza’s attention to the stream was distracted for a moment. In that instant Sheila saw an arm thrown cau- tiously over the edge. Mendoza saw it too, and the hand that held his gun was braced against his hip. As the automatic spat, his hold on her arm grew tighter. A wild possibility flashed through her mind, and Sheila’s muscles reacted with instant obedience. Bending down and circling his legs with her unhampered arm, Sheila rolled over deliberately and held on with all her might. As she had hoped, Mendoza tripped. With an oath he stumbled and fell prostrate across her body. Before he could scramble to his feet, Sheila saw - Tony crawl over the ledge and make a leap toward them. Desperately, she endeavored to wrap her arms about Mendoza. First, she succeeded in knock- ing the pistol from his hand. Then the heavy heel of his boot ground into her cruelly, and the man leaped over her. The bark of another gun rang in her ears, but apparently the ‘bullet hit the ceiling of the cavern, for a shower of splintered limestone came _ sprinkling down on Sheila. With both hands against the rocky wall, she managed to arise. But Tm saying this now be- — * per é er ere * e Physical Culture — Then two struggling figures collided with her and they all went down in a heap. — Sheila’s head struck sharply and she knew nothing more. = But she was not unconscious long.

Maddened as he hurt her, and frantic as she felt herself being worsted at every blow, Sheila re- sorted to a wrestler’s trick that made him ery out in torture. Her bathing-suit was ripped to shreds.. Her white skin was bruised and bloody. Sheila staggered and panted for breath. But as Mendoza recovered himself, and managed to get to his knees, she leaped upon his back. She pummelled him with both of her fists. They rolled over with Sheila on top. Her knees pressed into his chest and throat, but he shook her off. If he im- prisoned her once again in his fierce em- brace, Sheila knew he would crush her— literally—in his rage. Vainly, she tried to pull the knife from the sheath that hung from his belt. He was too quick for her. His own hand caught the hilt, but she knocked it from his fingers before he could strike at her. Up again, he came at her. Sheila eluded him: deftly, while Tony looked on in agony. Cursing and stumbling, Mendoza tried to catch her. Sheila darted back and forth—almost slipped on the edge of the ledge, and braced herself for another attack as Mendoza came lurching at her. His shirt- was completely torn from his back. The matted hair that covered his chest was streaked with blood, Shoul- ders hunched, he advanced, more like an ape than a man. Sheila’s heart was pounding. She thought it was going to burst! Exhausted, she felt faint. ~The fire was beginning to die down and its light was flickering low. If it went out, either or both might go plunging into the stream. But the waning flame gave her a sudden inspiration. BEFORE Mendoza could stop her, she grasped the burning ember. ‘Then, as quickly and surely as she could, she hurled it directly at him with all of her waning strength. The red-hot brand seared her hand, but the cry that she stifled was drowned out by Mendoza’s frightful roar. The blazing missile had struck him squarely in the face. Half-blinded and cursing vilely, he ‘staggered back with both hands out- stretched. If he had not fallen flat he would have toppled over into the running stream. As he fell, Sheila looked about for the knife, and finding it, picked it up. Mendoza lay kicking and moaning, hold- ing his hands to his face. Aware that he could not interfere if she lost no time, Sheila rushed to Tony’s side and severed the cords that bound him. In another moment, Tony was free, sitting astride Mendoza’s back and reach- ing for his pistol. As he drew it from his holster, Sheila cried out to him. Now that their danger was over, she could not beat to witness a killing in cold blood. “Tony, no! You mustn’t!”’ she begged. “You can’t shoot him while he’s help- She felt that such a memory would remain to haunt her for the re- mainder of her life. Somehow, in the heat of action, she could have killed her- self. Now it would be different. Appar- ently Tony understood, but he did not waste a moment.

CALIFORNIA before Metdosa’ s men might arrive and discover them. ‘‘We can’t leave him here like this!” Tony looked up at Sheila. ““The moment he is conscious he’ll be after us.” “Why not tie and gag him?” she sug- fested practically. “If we run into the others we'll have to take our chances.” They dragged Mendoza’s body into a corner of the cavern, and Tony scattered the remains of the dying fire as they both made sure of their weapons. ‘There was only one passageway leading from the place. Hand in hand, they went slowly forward. For some minutes their path led on without a turn or break. Then a fork-like opening necessitated choice. First, they tried the larger, only to discover that it was a cul-de-sac. Re- tracing their steps, they tried the next, and the rays of Tony’s flashlight revealed a sort of vaulted chamber. In it was piled, case on case, a store of the finest foreign wines and the choicest of liqueurs. In the center were two great chests, fas- tened with heavy locks. “S° there is treasure on my island!” Sheila whispered to Tony. “Which makes this the most un- healthy place we’ve stumbled into yet!” Tony shut off the flashlight and they moved off anxiously. Dark passages, like catacombs, seemed to take them no- where, and Tony had the idea that they moved in circles. At last, however, they came upon a narrow upward incline. A current of cool fragrant air came to them from above. This would no doubt be the entrance—and there would lie real danger. As they halted to form some plan they heard voices plainly. There was no time to go forward or back, so they flattened themselves against the pas- sage wall. Unless they could remain invisible they were neatly trapped. There was a blinding flash of light— a quick exclamation—they were discov- ered! A voice called out, ““Throw down your weapons! If you move you'll get a volley pronto!” There was nothing else to do, and in spite of her hesitation, Sheila cast away the knife. For a moment the stillness was ominous. ‘Then the passage was brightly flooded and Tony made out five men with guns, leveled directly at them. In the center stood the fellow who had followed them from the shop at The Three Corsairs. With the muzzles of automatics thrust into the small of their backs, Sheila and Tony were marched to the cavern where they had left Mendoza. There were half a dozen ruffians beside the one who had spoken, whom the others referred to as Miguel. At Miguel’s direction, two of the men began to kindle a fire. Their flashlights had already found their furious trussed-up chief. As they released him he arose, blaspheming horribly. Then at the sight of the prisoners, he laughed uproariously. “So!”? he leered at Sheila. “You come back to Mendoza soon. Now we go on and have some fun where we stop before.””’ But he did not order them bound. In- stead he ordered them to sit in one corner of the cavern—no doubt while he figured out some fiendish form of torment. “A knife in them would be safer.” ‘Miguel growled his disapproval. Physical Culture “Tie a rock to their bodies and they don’t go floating out!’’. But as the two of them wrangled, a man appeared from the passageway im evident excitenfent. “Camp people find dead Indian,” he reported hurriedly. “Ship crew come ashore with guns.” Mendoza’s decision was instant. “One man stay here,’”’ he ordered. ‘“T'wo more stay at entrance. Others keep between yacht and camp. When I come, we shoot them up and sail away on boat. Then maybe I take this lady on little honey- moon! You like that very much, eh?” Tony writhed in his mental anguish. But Sheila only sat there with a look of calm contempt on her pretty features. Then, to Tony’s intense surprise, she smiled provocatively. With a toss of her saucy little head, she flashed challenge at Mendoza. ‘Tony thought he divined her purpose, but he doubted very much if all her cleverness would mislead the man. “By an’ by we go take walk?’ Men- doza grinned at her. Then he glared at Tony. “You Currie’s secretary. Write note and Mendoza sign it.” him the stub of a pencil and an envelope. “Tell Currie you both here. Say I no like hurt you.

t > ments. February, 1931 ing suit, she was practising every wile she knew on the bandit leader, and whether or not she deceived him, Men- doza was apparently enjoying her change of mood. He led her to the cavern where the great chests stood, lighting the way witha blazing brand he had snatched from the fire. It gave a ghostly illumination as he thrust it into a clamp set into the rock. Their shadows danced grotesquely against the limestone walls. Sheila wondered whether the sentinel could see or overhear them. Mendoza appeared to have no idea of the working of her mind. Without a word, he produced a key from an old leather pouch. Slowly unlocking one of the chests, he threw back its heavy lid. Sheila gasped in surprise at the contents of the gigantic box. There must have been a fortune in jewels in it. were rings and necklaces, bracelets and dismounted stones that sparkled in the light of the torch and reflected its red glow. There were also stacks of gold that plainly suggested Mendoza’s lack of confidence in banks. Here was probably the loot from Palm Beach and Miami i in the last year or two. VERY pretty?”’ He smiled and-stood back. ‘‘Mendoza let you wear them if you be good girl.’’ Sheila smiled and _ bending over, slipped an emerald bracelet over her bruised wrist. But she did not fail to keep an eye on Mendoza’s move- Was it. possible that: this stupid -oaf supposed that he could tempt her to “sail away with him! At first she had imagined his threat to be nothing more. Now she saw that he was in earnest. She was the reward he wanted—not ransom from her father! — She saw the rise and fall of his hairy - chest, and her body still reminded her of the power in his hands. She was going to need all of her guile, and she must be '. wary. Once folded in his cruel embrace, she knew she would be helpless. ‘Oh, they’re perfectly wonderful!” She gave him a bewitching smile as she picked up a pearl necklace. He watched her fascinated as she put it about her - throat. In an instant, he was by her side, just as she had expected. With a saucy laugh, _- she eluded him and ran around the chest. “Why all the nice little bottles—up there in those racks?”’ she asked with a childish pout. ‘All you show me is these,’” she said, as her fingers ran through the jewels. “You never think to ask me if I’m thirsty and—cold.”’ “Maybe you drink to Mendoza— to us?’ he proposed as he looked at the racks in search of the label he wanted. “Very good pair—you an’ me. Your father big pirate of Wall Street. Men- doza big pirate down here. Oh, it is funny, so?” Sheila was watching him closely as he - fumbled with the packing of a French cor- - dial bottle. “Your fingers are all thumbs!” she laughed at him. “Such a big strong man—so helpless!’’ She took the bottle from him. Then peering into the chest again, she uttered a cry of delight. Men- 3 - doza bent down to get a string of emer- —alds she indicated. As he leaned half- way over the chest, Sheila clutched the e There . _ bottle firmly by its neck. With all her strength she brought it down on the back of Mendoza’s head. Its weight and the force of her careful blow would probably have fractured the skull of the average man. Mendoza tumbled forward limply without so much as a grunt. The edge of the chest caught his waist and his bulk swayed over it. Sheila gave one glance toward the entrance. There was no sign of. the guard. Putting down the bottle noise- lessly, she seized Mendoza by the legs. It was not easy to push him, but she shoved with all her might. His heavy figure tumbled in and Sheila forced’ him down. In a moment she had shut the chest and locked the lid securely. Panting from her exertion, she stood listening. To play safe, she began to talk aloud, as though flirting with Mendoza. “No, please—you mustn’t kiss me— yet!’ She edged toward the burning brand, taking it from its socket. Feigning the laughter that might come with a friendly struggle, she beat out the torch. Then arming herself with the bottle again, she edged in the semi-darkness toward the passage-way. Apparently the guard had been told not to peer in or show himself unless Mendoza called him. That complicated matters. Unless she could take him unawares and succeed in disarming him, she had no chance of success. But an idea came to her. As though she spoke to Mendoza, she called out as loud as she could. “Try that again and Til kill you! You didn’t know I had a knife!’ It worked! The guard came rushing in and Sheila struck at him. The fellow went down in his tracks with a groan as the bottle smashed in pieces. It was only the work of an instant to secure his autoniatic. Then picking up the rifle that had clattered against the floor, she leaped over the prostrate form and ran back to the larger cavern. As she approached, she saw the guard with his back to her. He was apparently watching Tony without thought of attack from behind. Seeing her in the cavern entrance, Tony sprang up in surprise. As the guard put down his rifle at Sheila’s sharp command, Tony possessed himself of it. Luck had been with Sheila until now, but the dis- gruntled guard smiled evilly as they heard someone else coming along the passage. Instantly Tony covered the guard and Sheila gripped her automatic with her eyes fixed on the entrance. As they did so Miguel appeared, apparently unconscious that anything was wrong. HERE’S Mendoza?” he looked about, not observing the sen- tinel’s plight. “The Big Chief’s resting,” Sheila re- plied, with a wink at Tony, who stepped toward the new arrival as he grasped the situation. _ “Listen carefully, Miguel!’ Tony warned. ‘“‘You’ll walk through the pas- sage ahead of us—and don’t for a mo- ment imagine I'll have any qualms of conscience. In addition to getting us out of here, you’re going to explain to the police that I didn’t kill Phil Davega.

Take us out of here and back to the camp—” “Do you think you'd get past the senti- nels?’” Miguel scoffed at him. “They’ve orders to shoot you in your tracks—but they'll bring the lady back.” “If they do, you'll never know it,” Tony said menacingly. “‘You’ll not only pass us through your line, but you'll go with us to the yacht.” . Furious, but powerless, Miguel turned and started off, followed by the cap- tured guard. Behind them’ walked Sheila and Tony, whose flashlight sil- houetted the two at every step of the way. But as they neared the outer open- | ing, Tony called a halt. _Faintly they heard the sound of firing, shouts, and then utter silence. What was happening they could only guess, and until they could be sure, Tony proposed to wait there with his prisoners. Their suspense was not long, however. : A flash from ahead outlined the group. Behind its glow Tony caught the glint of an officer’s uniform. It was the Captain of Currie’s yacht. After him crowded Currie himself, Derwynt and Gerhard. “Thank God you're safe!” P. J. cried when he caught sight of Sheila. ‘“‘Ger- hard, you take her to the yacht. Captain, get hold of those men!” ‘Just a minute,” Sheila laughed. “I’ve left a gentleman back in the cave, locked up in his treasure chest. At least it would be courteous if we let him out.” ‘The revenue cutters are on their way. Mendoza and these blackguards are up to them!” snapped Currie. “Oh, no they’re not! said Sheila. “Mendoza and this man Miguel can clear Tony of all suspicion in Phil Davega’s death. Until they do, they’re my pris- oners—and I shan’t budge a step without them.” Her eyes sparkled as she added, “TI want to see that jack-in-the-box when. the chest is opened!” Physical Culture = ““You’ve seen enough about this place!” P. J. sputtered in his rage, but he looked at his daughter with pride. care of that damned pirate!”’ “That’s what he called you!” Sheila teased. “So I’m a pirate’s daughter. That reminds me of something else. Let’s all go back together.”’ Knowing how utterly useless it would be to oppose his daughter, P. J. gave in to her. ‘Ten minutes later, Mendoza, shackled and sullen, was led away by the sailors from the yacht. There was a mischievous light in Sheila’s eyes as she whispered to her father. He nodded and smilingly kissed her. Without a word he turned away and hurried after the others. Tony and Sheila were alone beside the open chest. Look!’ she pointed into it. On top of the jewels Tony saw a little silk a bag much like the one she had worn about her neck. He noticed that it was missing. “You mean that Mendoza took it from you—while you were here with him!” “See what’s in it!’ she ordered with an imperious gesture as he fished it out for her. With a puzzled look on his fea- tures, Tony did as she bade him. As he shook the bag a platinum band fell into his palm. “Didn’t I say we'd find treasure here?’ she asked as he stared at it. so I bought it the night we went shopping ‘at The Three Corsairs.”’ Sheila!’ he cried and caught her hands. here to find it?” “Sometimes you’re almost intelligent!” she told him impishly. “Darn it! Why are you so stupid? give you a far worse beating than the one I gave Mendoza!” THE END @ Homesick huh? Left you to put up for him?” “But no! It is that I want it like that. In effect, his father searches always to adopt him, but I guard him hidden here.”’ They had walked still further south- ward, always away from the picnic of the apavhes, and presently they came out to the edge of the plateau, where one could see far down the green valley of the Marne. There was a patch of grass here beside the road, and they sat down. Whiz got out his field glasses, and Nanette learned their adjustment and then spied out parts of the valley with which she was familiar. “Heh!” chuckled Whiz. “I been broke a couple o’ times in this town, kid, but I ain’t never been so broke yet that I'd hock them glasses. No, sir, nor this bricky neither,” and he took out his silver cigarette lighter and looked at it. “Best friend I got in Paris gimme this ... Bill Field. He’s a big man, an American consul. Sometimes we go to the races together. He gimme this for Christmas once. You bet I hang on to that.” _ Down there, that is La Varenne,” said Continued from page 33 Nanette. there.” They made the descent and found the river still covered with boats and the banks as well populated as ever. And here swimmers were displaying midstream daring to the crowd on the La Varenne bridge. “One can find a restaurant “NAY little Weez,”’ teased Nanette, “take me for an all little promenade in a canoe.” 3 Whiz chartered a punt and rowed down among islands, Nanette lazing in the stern and dragging an indolent hand in the water. On the river’s surface it grew dusk; and, though the last yellow rays were still bathing the shoulders of the — 3 hill to the east, in the dark trees of the islets here and there a nightingale was already shrilling a startling solo. Phono- graph music from the punts also drifted over the quiet water, and Nanette would join in with their refrains. When they got back to the boat house it was dark. They ate fried minnows and boiled rooster and danced in the pavilion afterward. | (Continued on page 120) ak Seedol has been tested and approved for purity and nutritional qualities by the Physical Culture Institute of Nutrition.

ODERN LIVING, Dept. 2-2, 147 West 42nd St., New York, N. Y, ri 07 Physical Culture : (Continued from page 118) “Listen, kid. Gotta remember I got clients to rub tomorrow mornin’. Nevertheless. the last train in to the city that night found them in a compart- ment on the upper deck of a second-class car, a place of cinders, dim lighting, and hard benches crowded with young couples largely intertwined, as young couples are on last trains coming from La Varenne or Coney Island or wherever it is. Nan- ette held her hat on her lap, leaned a tired head against Whiz’s arm, her dark curls covering his shoulder. From the station at the Bastille in Paris they took a taxicab to a dingy little hotel in the rue Montmartre, where Nanette had a room under the roof, up seven flights of steep stairs. “It is not permitted me to take thee up,” she said, “but thou canst attend me at the office while I make my valises.” In half an hour she came struggling down with two heavy suitcases. Whiz took them from her, and she paid her bill. “This hotel here next door will be safe for tonight,”’ she said, when they reached the street. “Failing to find me here, Milou will abandon the search for the moment.” “That guy ain’t gonna be huntin’ no- body tonight,”’ predicted Whiz. Nanette was asleep next morning when Whiz went for his daily encounter with the American obesity. It was after eleven o’clock when he neared the hotel in the rue Montmartre again, bringing with him the noon newspaper containing the dope and the selections for the after- noon’s racing at Maisons-Laffitte. He went up and found Nanette still sleeping. ‘‘Snap out of it, kid,”’ he called cheerily, shaking her shoulder. “Yuh gonna sleep all day? I collected two hundred balls this mornin’. Le’s put on the feed bag and then get out to Maisons. Mebby I c’n pick a couple.” He sat on the edge of the bed and opened the paper. “‘See this horse here in the second... this Saurien? He’s only been picked twice, an’ he c’n beat any o’ them other hounds he’s entered with. He win only two months ago at Vincennes. Oughta pay a_ good price.” She was awake now, smiling up at him sleepily. ‘““Let me.” GHEE took the paper and looked duti- fully, if indifferently, at the name of the horse Saurien. Then she turned to the theater and movie page. Nothing there to hold her attention, she examined the front-page news. Suddenly she sat up with a sharp exclamation. “Read that!” Whiz looked at the item at which her finger was pointing. A DRAMA AT A SYLVAN FETE With a Blow of Fist a Stranger Has Killed an Apache “Jeez! I croaked him! He read swiftly through the five lines of text the newspaper could devote to such a trivial affair. ‘Broke his neck!’ he said in a dazed tone. “They think I’m a Pole.” Nanette was up, paddling around in her pajamas. , “Whatcha gonna do?” . “Search a hiding-place. They will not stop me. There is yet time. They will not have followed thy track this far.” “You got it wrong, I tell yuh. I better give myself up.” “To the police? Thou art crazy!” “He began it, didn’t he? comin’ at me with a knife, wasn’t he? They can’t put a guy over for that.” *“No, no, no,” she would not listen, tugging at a comb in her tangle of dark curls. ‘“‘For people like us the police are not good, even if one is not culpable.” “But they get yuh in the end.

The police are not going to inquiet themselves of him too much. After some days, if they have not found thee, they will say, ‘So much the worse for Milou.’ And that will be all.” ““Mebby yo’re right,” wavered Whiz. “It is always like that when those peo- ple are killed,” said the girl. ‘‘Promise me, my little one, that thou wilt rest in this room until my return.”’ “But listen, baby. I got a room of my own. What about that?” “Ah, so!’ She planned quickly. “Well, I will send a taxi to the door down there. When one calls thee, enter it quickly and give the address from inside. Hold it while thou makest thy valise, and come back in the same fashion.”’ Wiz gave his promise, and she was gone. When, late that afternoon, she returned, Whiz was ready with his own baggage and hers, which he had packed up in her absence. | *“Nothing has arrived, then,”’ she cried in relief. ‘“‘I have found a place. Dis- patch thyself ...a taxi attends. All is paid.” In the machine, with three suitcases and Whiz’s satchel of liniments, she gave an address on the Quai de Javel. It proved to be a blank factory corner on the river at the southwestern outskirts of Paris. They set the baggage out on the sidewalk, nor would Nanette permit Whiz to touch it until he had paid the chauffeur and watched him out of sight on his way back to the city. “It is not of advantage to leave our track with him,” she said. She picked up Whiz’s valise and liniment case. ‘Now it is safe. It is yet far to walk.” Whiz struggled along with her two heavy suitcases. It was a warm evening, and at intervals he had to set the baggage down to wipe the sweat from his eyes. *‘Where yuh goin’? To Bordeaux?” “Good courage, my Weez. It is far yet . . . on the other side of the river.” They crossed the Seine by the Auteuil Viaduct, and then followed the quay past the city gate. Just beyond, between two apartment buildings, there was a vacant space closed by a billboard. At the farther end of this Nanette stopped, gave a quick look up and down the thorough- fare, set down the baggage she was carry- .S = ‘ss He was. i 5 te ee ak Pe ane eee age P| Waa Fred) ' idle eit , oe wee eye Fa; ¢ t i fs Lib ’ / : 4 A a ‘ i - Le EEE OSE ME Rte Pe ME Te TS eae eee ay bes ." -s

February, 1931 ing, and took a large iron key from her handbag. Whiz saw that there was a gate in the Joseph’s-coat facade of the billboard. Nanette opened it. They set the bag- gage through. She closed and locked the gate again. Whiz saw an anciently pitted lot, full of mossy boulders, sundry de- posits of rusty tin cans, and other rub- bish, but grassed over and green withal. There was a central depression in’ the field at the bottom of which was a tiny garden—tomatoes growing and _ lettuce ready to be plucked. In the high front corner, between the billboard and the blank wall of the fa thermost building, was a cabin, or lean-to. Though built neatly enough of boards, 1t was evidently of amateur construction. Its chief exte- rior feature was a porch running its length—a roof over a beaten dirt floor. Under this shelter was a small iron kitchen stove, its pipe bent to exhaust the smoke outsidé the covering of the roof. Here also was a blackened table, a chair scaling in the weather, a row of iron pots hooked to the wall by their handles, a bench with a tall metal pitcher and a wash basin upon it, and to the thin sup- ports of the roof were tied reclaimed and painted tin cans with plants growing in them. “Just like out West on a ranch,” mar- veled Whiz. They tugged their baggage into the cabin. It was a single room, with a low chuck-hole for storage built out at the garden end. . There was a low bed—a mere mattress on a floor frame—a table with a lamp on it and a small mirror at- tached to the wall behind, a thin carpet on the floor, a shelf screwed to the wall with hooks below and curtains to sur- round and make a clothes closet. ‘‘Not chic,” said Nanette, looking around, ‘“‘but safe. It will suffice until one can risk to go out.” ‘Aw, say,’ Whiz protested against her faint praise, “what’s the matter with it. anyhow. How’d yuh happen to find it?”’ “By hazard.” She sat down on the bed. ‘“‘This place is the most far from those quarters where they will search first. So I have come here. At the café back there one has informed me of the old woman who inhabits this cabin. If she could find a renter of it, she could go to visit her daughter in the country. She has demanded me one hundred frances per month, and one could enter Saturday . .. after tomorrow. For us that was too late. I have offered one hundred fifty, three months all paid in advance, if one could enter this afternoon. And now I have not more of silver.”’ . “I’m gonna pay yuh back. I told yuh before I wouldn’t take none o’ your dough. That still goes.” “Tf thou wishest. But it was only to tell thee that one must make the econ- omy. Thou hast something?”’ “Eighty francs mebby. I paid my room.” “That is not much. Still, if it is all, it is all. One must contrive. It is neces- sary to rest here long-time . . . more long than I have told thee, Weez.

On the news stands Febru- ary 15th. . G “Anything but Golf,” Says Glenna Collett time in detailing to you the exact manner in which he managed to break a hundred. And if he failed the story will be even longer. You do not need to be a golf addict in order to qualify as a conscript for one of those interminable discussions beginning, “‘So I says to the caddy, I think it’s an iron shot. You see up till now I was even sixes.” If the lowly of the game are so much concerned with what they did and what they might have done, think of the flood of comment which surrounds every meeting of the stars. No big match has ever been played in which the principals were not compelled by their friends and admirers to go over the course again step by step in verbal summary. And sometimes the principals needed no urging. Nothing but the sternest of repressive measures can ever send a dead round of golf to oblivion or posterity wherever it belongs. And these undoubted facts may ex- plain the reply of Miss Glenna Collett when I asked her, ‘“‘What do you like to talk about?”’ “Anything but golf,’ answered: the champion. But she was not stern enough to force complete banishment of the subject. As a matter of fact Miss Collett answers Continued from page 39 in her own person many of the accusa- tions which have been levelled against the woman athlete. .It is customary for men to discount the challenge of female stars and champions by asserting | that these exceptionally gifted folks are not truly feminine. But no such answer will suffice in the case of Miss Collett. She is no wide and husky girl but a slim and extremely personable young woman who can step from the eighteenth green to the dance floor and still remain a champion. LTHOUGH I have said that golf such as that which Glenna Collett plays must serve as propaganda for the come- out-of-the-kitchen cause, I have no evi- dence that Miss Collett is in any sense a conscious propagandist for geminism or anything else. Even so far as golf goes I could find no special philosophy as to games—their reason and their value. We did talk about the factors which make for going stale. The dread state of: being over-trained is known in every game, but I think the variation between the top and bottom of a performer’s capacity is greatest in golf. In spite of Miss Collett’s 71 there have been one or two days when she was up in the high eighties. In fact I fear that on occasion she has touched 90. 121 A Sure Way to End It There is one sure way that never fails to re- © move dandruff completely, and thatis to dissolve it. Then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just apply a little Liquid Arvon at night before retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and two or three more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stopinstantly and your hair will be lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hun- dred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store, | and a four ounce bottle is all you will need.

122 ‘Did you lose your glasses, Tom?” “No, Evelyn, I threw them away,—and will never have to use them again!” Truly, a “grand and glorious feeling.’’ A sense of pride and satisfaction. For after many years of wearing cumbersome glasses— after countless hours of burdensome eye- support with unnecessary eye-crutches—he was able”to discard his glasses entirely. And after only one month of treatment and correct eye. exercises. The world today is full of Toms—men and women whose features and appearances are marred—who endure unnecessary suffering be- cause of poor eyesight. They think that glasses will cure or eliminate the conditions responsible for eye troubles! But — glasses are nothing more _ than eye crutches. The real help. must come from other sources. In the case of the eyes, it is exercise. Over 20 years ago, Bernarr Macfadden had a most trying experience with his eyes. The idea of. wearing glasses was intolerable, so, always willing to back up his theories by experiment- ing upon himself, he immediately started in upon a course of nat- ural treatment that he fully believed would help him. The results were so entirely satisfactory that he associated himself with one of the few really great eye specialists and together they entered upon a period of research and experiment covering many years. ar A Startling Revolutionary System of Eye Training Upon their findings has been based a re- markable new scientific system of eye-training which quickly enables you to train the muscles -of the eyes so that you can make them work properly at all times, and without effort or strain. This new system has been prepared by Bernarr Macfadden, in collaboration with the eminent ophthalmologist. who discovered the real truth about eyes. If you already wear glasses, find out how you can discard them. If you do not wear glasses, but feel that your sight is failing, then find out how a few minutes each day assures you perfect sight without the use of glasses. If you are a parent, send at once for this method, and learn how to save your children from the scourage of nearsightedness—how you can serve them from the slavery of eye- glasses. And how you can train your eyes so. they will always have perfect, normal vision. For What Price Would You Sell Your Eyes? _ The benefits which you can derive from this new method of eye training may seem too. surprising to be true. its efficacy when you read the letters from the people who have found it of immeasurable ~ anyway Yet you cannot doubt ” value. When you know that it has helped over 2,000 children to regain normal vision in a short time. Your eye-sight is your most important possession. It can never ' be replaced if it is lost. And since no amount of money could make you sacrifice your eyes, you owe it to yourelf at least to investigate what this new scientific method can do for you. Here is a man who writes: ‘‘By faithfully following the directions given in your eye course, I have discarded glasses worn for years.”’ Another grateful reader of this helpful book writes: ‘I had been wearing glasses since I was eight years a day without them. I am now twenty- four and with just a little effort in practic- ing the Eye Exercises each day for a period of two months, I have been able to stop wearing glasses entirely.’’ These inspiring results bring a message of hope to everyone who is troubled with weak eyes or poor sight. There is hardly any condition that is beyond the reach of Bernarr Macfadden’s revolutionizing method of eye training. Even the hopeless cases respond with almost unbelievable results to the treat- ment outlined by the noted physical culturist. Send No Money Examine Book FREE! You need send no money now.

Physical Culture Physical exhaustion has little to do with it. The-strain of a succession of tournaments lies largely in the perpetual insistence upon the subject of golf which pervades the atmosphere of every country club during the days of competition. As a rule the player who has been too close to the game for too long a period weakens in only one department. He will find himself perhaps driving as well as ever, but the putting touch is gone. Or perhaps he has mislaid his former crispness with his irons. In such cir- cumstances certain players will go out and practise over and over again the particular sort of shot in which the marks of mildew have appeared. Occa- sionally it is possible to lift yourself out of a slump by doing more rather than less. I suppose this follows the old familiar formula of taking a freezing man and rubbing him with snow. UT it seems to me that the method of Miss Glenna Collett is sounder. When her game begins to slip and slide she drops the whole business if such a pro- cedure is feasible. After too much golf she goes out and plays a little tennis. There is, I believe. nothing in the record books. about Miss Collett’s tennis. “Pretty bad” is her own estimate and yet she finds fascination in the pursuit of a sport in which she performs at least indifferently. Naturally that suggested a question to the interviewer. “Didn’t you maybe have more fun out of golf before you were so good at it?” I wanted to know. But this she would not admit. And I judge that she was correct in cling- ing to the excitement, the prestige and the general jubilation which comes to a champion. Miss Collett likes crowds. She enjoys the tumult of a tournament. At any rate she stated, “‘All my best rounds have been played under competi- tive conditions, I just can’t quite key myself up when there is nothing at stake.” And Miss Collett prefers the American galleries in spite of the fact that a player Plagiarism is Literary or Artistic Theft So widespread has this evil become that the publishers of PHYSICAL CUL- TURE Magazine take this means of announcing that it will prosecute to the limit of the law any person or persons found guilty of this offense.

CF wie }. were > i : Toe sali eee, a Lhe | February, 1931 runs the risk of having a camera click just behind him as he is about to putt or swing. And with us the loud shout of approval for a good shot is well within tradition. English galleries, according to Miss Collett, treated her with scrupu- lous politeness. There was never a hint of any partisan exclamation. Golf is taken seriously by English spectators— seriously and in silence. Applause and approbation are reserved until the final putt has been sunk on the last green. But the silence disturbed Glenna Collett. She was more accustomed to the decidedly articulate American throng which goes whooping along on the heels of the players. ‘““Really,”’ she said, “their manners were perfect and they were very kind in England but I would rather have had them root a little even if they rooted against me. It just doesn’t seem natural to have so many people clustered around making so little noise.” Although I’m without any personal experience in competitive golf I can see Miss Collett’s poimt. A tournament from her account is pretty grim business. ‘What do you talk about to your oppo- nent during a match?” I wanted to know. “Generally you don’t talk about any- thing,” she explained. “‘You see, except at the tee and on the green, you aren’t together very much.” Glenna Collett’s driving insures her a high degree of privacy when she is pitted against women opponents. She is one of the longest and most consistent of hitters. Generally she can slap the ball out anywhere from two hundred and twenty to two hundred and thirty yards and on one occasion a particularly long tee shot was measured with a steel tape and yielded the magnificent distance of three hundred and seven yards. NEVERTHELESS Miss Collett is of the opinion that men’s golf is still sev- eral strides ahead of that played by wo- men although she grants that the gap is closing. I asked her to estimate what she thought her handicap rating would be if she were a man. She set it at eight. I think that’s a big high. Glenna Collett has played a good deal of golf with men and on her best days has beaten ranking players. Her 71 was scored in a woman's tournament in Canada but a pace like that would give a chance for victory over anybody. Still, she feels that even a woman champion is under a _ severe handicap when pitted against a good male golfer. As long a hitter as Miss Collett is not up with the men when it comes to driving. “You see in a match like that,” she said, “I can hold my own only if every- thing come off just right. I’m _ con- stantly under the necessity of using a wooden club for my second shot while he’s using an iron.” I suggested that there was no reason why women should not putt just as well as men. This the champion admitted but she added that just the same they didn’t. “Why?” I asked. “Maybe men have better nervous control,’ she ventured. But this brought us into the field of temperament and suddenly Glenna Col- lett turned feminist on me. “You mean,” I said, “‘that women go into tears and hysterics and all that more often than men.” “T don’t mean anything of the kind,” she said. “In fact I think men cry about games a good deal more than women do. When a player is taken out of a college football game he’s almost supposed: to ery. Particularly if his team’s getting beaten. I’ve only seen one woman cry because she lost a golf match.” “Do you cry?” I asked rudely. “IT do not,’ said Miss Collett. But even if Glenna Collett did cry to signalize defeat, 1t wouldn’t obligate her to any great amount of weeping. AIl- though intent on defending women golfers as a clear and dry-eyed set, Miss Collett was equally eager to deny the charge sometimes brought that athletic sports tend to rab women of their “‘femi- nine charm.” As a matter of fact, it was wholly unnecessary for the champion to answer that in words. 7 The precept set by Bobby Jones for match play is not a good rule for women to follow according to Miss Collett. Bobby has stated on many occasions that he strives against par and pays no special attention to what his opponent is doing. Medal play, save in the quali- fying round, is seldom used in women’s tournaments and Glenna Collett and half a dozen others have small fear of failing to get in among the elect. Ac- cordingly hole by hole competition is more in order. “IT like to know just where my oppo- nent is before I play a shot,” said the champion. “Driving I take more or less for granted. It doesn’t bother me a great deal to be compelled to play the odd after the drive. But if out in front I do watch the second shot. If my oppo- nent drops an iron on the green within fifteen feet of the hole I make my mark. It isn’t enough just to get on. I try my best to get closer.” NLIKE most leaders in athletics, Glenna Collett got a comparatively late start at the game. Bobby Jones, for instance was swinging clubs when he was eight or nine but Miss Collett did not take up golf until she was fourteen. But she seems to have spent a very short time in the apprentice class. Within two years she was an expert and at eighteen she began to win tournaments. Several teachers have molded her game but she thinks that Alec Smith helped her most. In addition to golf and tennis, her favorite recreations are dancing and swimming. And _ naturally dancing brought up that one impertinent query which almost every interviewer feels bound to ask. “Assuming,” I began, were going to a dance with a young man would you pick out a golfer in preference to anyone else?” “Heavens no,” said Glenna Collett, “Td pick out a dancer.” “IT mean,” I added more timidly, “‘if you were going to feel, let’s say romantic, about somebody, would he have to be somebody who played golf well and knew all about golf. Somebody that you could talk golf with?” Again the champion shook her head, “Anything but golf,’ she said. “that you 123° ~ Setting-Up EXERCISES for Your Face— LIFT SAGGING MUSCLES REMOVE DOUBLE CHIN Kathryn Murray’s 5- Minute - a- Day Facial Exercises, by strength- ening flabby, drooping muscles, quickly ban- ish crow’s feet, double , chin, sagging cheeks, . sallow. complexion, etc., and restore in a safe, natural way the bloom and animation of youth. © massages—no lotions—no straps—no skill required.

Q The Manliness of Lincoln Physical Culture Continued from for political office was more than over- balanced by the direct way in which he sets down what he feels to be his handi- caps. He tells the voters that he is poor; that he was born in the most humble ranks of life; that he hasn’t wealthy or popular relations or friends to back him —nothing to go on but himself. He set his views on the question of the day down clearly and having explained them says: “Upon the subject which I treated I have spoken as I have thought,” but adds, lest they think him too opinionated for one so inexperi- enced, “‘as soon as I discover my opin- ions to be erroneous I shall be ready to renounce them.”’ Thirty years~ later he was to tell the people of the United States the same thing in regard to his position on slav- ery, to say to them after stating pains- takingly his views: “T shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.” Here was a case certainly where the boy was the father of the man. UT Lincoln’s. frank and sen- sible address did not win him the elec- tion. He was de- feated. He had shown how he took a, victory in his first introduction to his community—t he page 26 United States in 1854, when Lincoln was forty-five years old—out of politics and on the road to becoming a prosperous and honored lawyer. T WAS something which he regarded as a challenge to his manhood. Not to accept this challenge would have been to show himself something less than the man he had always tried to be. It would cost him heavily in his _pro- fessional life and possibly among his friends to take up the challenge, but as a man he must do it. And he went into the fight in the same way that he had tackled ~-the champion of the New Salem gang twenty-four — years before. But while he had thrown Jack Armstrong in ten minutes or there- abouts, it took him six years to throw the opponent who now faced him. ‘This opponent was Stephen A. Douglas, one of the most talented and successful politicians in the United States. He and Lincoln had started out together in public life. But while Lincoln had been — side-tracked some years before, permanently so_ it looked, Douglas had had everything he wanted from IIli- nois, having been one of its United fight of which I have ee PE ei 98 States Senators for spoken. It was ( eer eT eleven years and without boasting. As a biographer of Lincoln, Ida now its favorite His attitude toward defeat was what you would expect from a man who took a | victory the way that he had done. He did not swagger then, nor whimper when defeated. And he made ready for the next campaign, that is, he proved to his friends at once that he was not a quitter. There 1s manliness for you. Twenty-two years were to pass before anybody outside of Illinois was to ask himself about the quality of Abraham Lincoln’s manliness. Through these twenty-two years he had remained a local character, trusted by his friends, trusted for the same kind of qualities that had made him a hero in New Salem in the earlier days. They knew that he was a man who was not afraid— that he spoke his mind—kept his promises —worked persistently—never boasted— was never downed by. a defeat. But all of that would never have been of any importance to you or me if it had not been for something that happened in the M. Tarbell ranks high in the field of American letters candidate for the Presidency. Rather against his will and only because he felt it a political necessity, if he was ever to become President of the United States, Douglas in this year of 1854 proposed to Congress that certain parts of the coun- try, which had been set aside as forever free, be opened to slavery. This proposi- tion caused a terrible uproar in the north. It both alarmed and angered Lincoln. If this could be done, how long would it be before Illinois, New England even, would be opened to slaves? The thing must be stopped there in Illinois by de- feating Douglas’ ambitions—Douglas, the author of this unholy proposition. And he must be one of those who helped in the defeat. And he threw himself into the fight. . Lincoln did not deceive himself about the undertaking. He knew that the odds were all against him.

oe oe ETT MET TS Te February, 1931 had been what he called a “flat fail- ure.”’ He knew the politicians expected all sorts of favors from Douglas. ‘““They see in his round, jolly, truthful face,” said Lincoln, “‘post offices, land offices, cabinet positions, ete., etc. But in my poor, lean, lank face nobody has ever seen any cabbages sprouting.” Nobody expected him to win—he knew that. Nevertheless, as he told his friends, he meant to win or “‘die trying.” If he was to attack Douglas’ argu- ments he must do it solely on principle. His appeal must be to men’s intelligence —their sense of justice. He could employ none of his talents as a stump speaker. He could not tell stories now—he could not ridicule—could not appeal to preju- dice. He must convince the people of Illinois that if they yielded to Douglas’ plea and gave slavery an inch it would soon take an ell and then another ell, until the whole country was slave—not free. HE knew that he could only do this by developing an argument so strong that Douglas could not evade it, twist it or crack it and that was not going to be easy, because Douglas was a brilliant, magnetic speaker who had learned how to make white look black—black white. No one knew better than Abraham Lincoln that his challenge of Douglas meant continuous and arduous work for weeks, months; as it turned out it meant such work for six years. Six long years in which he gave the bulk of his time and strength to what seemed a hopeless fight, as far as any rewards to himself were concerned. Yet he never gave up. He had some terrific falls. He had to leave the political party he loved—the old Whigs—and join a third party—one of those protest groups that sober people jeer at—the Republican it was called. In 1856, joining the Republicans was a good deal like becoming a Socialist today. But he did it. In 1858 he ran against Douglas, who was seeking re-election to the United States Senate, and was defeated. His friends mourned. ‘“‘Cheer up,” Lincoln told them. “It is a durable struggle that we are in. I do not pretend that I would not have liked to go to the United States Senate, but compared with the mighty question at issue it is of very little matter whether I go or not, whether I am ever heard of again, indeed. The struggle will go on whatever becomes of me.”’ He was right; it did go on, but he had to go on with it. The quality of manli- ness that he had shown in the four years that he had been challenging Douglas’ position, forcing Douglas to battle, had made the country feel that it wanted to know more about him, that perhaps here was a man who could be trusted with larger things. And in 1860 he was so trusted, when running for the Presidency against Douglas, that he was elected. His manliness had done it. Would that manliness carry him through the Presidency? , He was going into a ring where he would be under the gaze, not only of a nation, but of the whole world. For four vears he was to be buffeted, pounded by enemies and friends, suffer defeat after defeat. How would he con- duct himself under the knock-downs which were to be his? Well, he was the same man in the face of defeat in the Presidency that he had been all his life so far. The enemies who watched him and jeered at him, seeking to confuse and turn him from his purpose, were never able to disturb his poise. He held on— whatever their attacks, his discourage- ments—to the single purpose with which he had started out when disunion was “threatened” and that was, that his business was to save the Union. Whatever the defeat he suffered, he always got up and went at it again. And that is what you would expect of Abraham Lincoln from what he had done in his youth and in his long fight against Douglas. But there was another sort of test that he had to stand while President for which he was certainly unprepared. It came from a source where he had a right to expect support, encouragement— not further trials of his patience, his: courage, his magnanimity, even of his self-respect. The severest of these un- expected tests came from members of his immediate official family, men whom he had called. to aid him in his task of saving the Union. Almost without ex- ception, these men came to their posi- tions with a feeling of superiority to Lincoln, sometimes they even bad more or less contempt. He was not educated, had not been to college—they had. He had little or no experience in political life—they had had much. His clothes hung on him—theirs fitted. He told funny stories and they were so self- consciously proper that they did not recognize the wisdom in these funny stories. Lincoln was sensitive to men’s opinions of him, sensed them without being told, but he rarely gave a sign that he knew that he was being looked down upon. He always had the courage to ignore superciliousness. Why should he have done so? Why, because he knew that he needed these men to carry out his big purpose. No matter what they thought of him or how they treated him, if they would do the work he gave them to do, he would ignore their lack of respect, their poorly concealed contempt. William H. Seward, Lincoln’s Secre-.. tary of State, honestly enough no doubt, believed that Mr. Lincoln was not fit to run the Government. Mr. Seward felt entirely able to run the Government— and the world for that matter. So from the start he gave people in and out of Washington to understand that it was he who was to decide things. ‘They could come to him and he would tell them what was going to happen. He was so sure of himself that a few weeks after the Admin- istration was formed he offered in writing to Mr. Lincoln to run things. Lincoln slipped the paper,'in which the Secretary of State had so given himself away, into the drawer, told nobody about it, but wrote to the Secretary that he, Mr. Lincoln, had been elected President. R. CHASE, Secretary of the Treas- ury, had the same feeling of superi- ority that Mr. Seward did, but he con- cealed it less well. He was bitterly jealous of Lincoln, intrigued against him in and out of Washington. Lincoln knew all this and let it pass. These men were valuable assets to the Administration.

It seems incredible today, that this sense of superiority should occasionally in men of great importance take the ugly form of insolence. If it were not written down in our records beyond the possibility of doubt, one could hardly believe that a West Point man, the General that Lin- coln had placed at the head of the Army of the Potomac, would keep the President of the United States waiting without an explanation for half an hour when he had called to consult him. But George Mc- Clellan did that. And when Lincoln’s friends at the White House, outraged by the insult as they felt it.to be, protested to the President he made his historie reply: “I will hold McClellan’s horse if he will give us a victory.”’ He apparently had sunk all sense of self in the great cause of saving the Union; had come to a point where he was willing to sacrifice pride, position, the natural resentment of a man _ unfairly treated, for the sake of his cause. Men do not. often reach such greatness of spirit. "THE patience, the humor, the silent endurance with which Lincoln passed over the contemptuous attitude of men who felt themselves superior to him, is as good an evidence of the superiority of his manhood as we could have. But it was no greater proof of his manliness than the way from first to last he ignored the blackguardism with which the press of this country and of England abused him. It is incredible now, knowing the story, that we should have had great newspapers in the United States that took out their opposition to his political policies by calling him grotesque names, ridiculing his appearance. But the opposition papers of the United States never equaled the English in the coarse- ness and vindictiveness of their attacks. Lawrence Godkin, an Englishman, who through the War was here as a correspon- dent of the London Daily News, said that he believed that Lincoln was the first public man, native or foreign, with regard to whom the English papers had thrown aside certain restraints on which they had always prided themselves. As a matter of fact, one is almost ashamed to record now the malignity and black- guardism of these papers. And yet through it all Godkin says that he never heard of Lincoln writing or saying one word to show that he was angry or had lost his restraint under attack. Few indeed are the public men who suffer attacks far less than those Lincoln suffered without open resentment or retaliation. It shows him to have been what one realizes he was the more he studies him— a great gentleman as well as a great man. But there were other and more subtle attacks on his courage. He could measure these men that despised him. Whatever humiliation, extra burdens, they put upon him, he accepted and carried them without complaining. In the long run he either unloaded the man when he had found some one better for his place ‘or won him over as he did Seward who came to the point of saying, “the Presi- dent is. the best of us.”’ But these other attacks were of a different nature, some-. thing that he could not measure, even see, and they dogged his spirit from the Phapaca Culture time he was called to the Presidency. In the beginning of his fight against the extension of slavery, back in 1854, Lin- coln had been overwhelmed at times by — the conviction that in forcing the issue of the right and wrong of slaves he might be helping to drive the country to war, and war for a man of his temperament of spirit was horrible, unthinkable. After his election and up to his death, his suffering over the war, itself, was always keen and all through this suffer- ing ran a sense of possible doom for him- self. Lincoln was superstitious. He has told us so himself. He believed, or at least con- sidered dreams, signs, portents. He saw in certain of those which came to him in the War possible warnings of death. His associates, disturbed by the threats and plots they were continually unearthing, kept the idea-of possible assassination before his mind. But however startling the warnings, he always refused to let them change his daily life, hamper his mind, weaken his spirit. His attitude seems to have been, “‘Well, what if they do kill me? The Union is saved and slavery wiped out. Why should I fear death? I have secured the things for which I have lived and worked—nothing else matters.”’ It was a nobler form of the same spirit in which he had taken his defeat in 1858, when he told his friends that he was satisfied to have had a chance to do his part in the greatest of all human struggles, the one for justice and freedom. And having that chance it did not matter now what happened to him— the work would go on. -I don’t know where you can find a higher type of spiritual manliness. ND how fine a man Lincoln was in his attitude towards the Confederacy when the War was won! There were a host of lesser people about him, most of them thinking themselves: greater than he, whose spirit against the South was poisonous—they demanded punishment, retaliation. Lincoln’s whole ‘dea was the very opposite. He would not hear of hanging leaders, of punishing seceders. “Send the soldiers back to their farms,” he said, “give them their horses and guns, help the Southern States to set up new Governments in harmony wth our old form, restore the Union to what it was— forget the War.” Looking bazk now, who will deny that this would have been the most practical as well as the most right- eous policy. Abraham Lincoln’s manliness was never so fine, never so high, as at the end when he put his hand to the problem of re- constructing the broken Union. He had proven himself again and again from youth up to be unafraid under attack; cool—patient—resourceful in struggle; not to be separated from a purpose, forgetful of self when it was a question of that purpose, able to take defeat and go at it again to triumph and not boast. | But when he saw the War was coming to an end, his two great purposes sure, he set himself heart and mind to an attempt to control the ugly vindictiv eness that was showing itself particularly in Congress and to convert the people of the North by acts as well as words to his noble preach- ment. ‘Malice towards none—charity to all’—he put a. splendid « crown on his. manliness. ad Seer an we a

Merely from clean living and thinking, correct diet, sun- shine and air, exercise—this constitutes health! And health is physical culture! We must have health! Only through the medium of physical culture can we have it. This generation has not fully awakened to the possibilities of physical culture. Physical culture does not merely mean a beautiful body and muscular development—it is our second hie! Why? Because health is derived from it. Can’t an individual be perfect? Why can’t he? God has provided us with the right source! It carries us over the average span of life. It provides for everything we do, because health is de- rived from it. Physical culture has so broad a scope of thought, and so infinite is that thought, that one can _ hardly realize its full meaning. But there is no mystery. Merely clean living, clean thinking, correct diet, exercise, sunshine and air will eventually and inevitably give you a specimen of real manhood and womanhood. God’s noblest work is man; and from man, woman! The future of our nation is absolutely dependent upon such species. We want healthy citi- zens—citizens who are physically fit, whose morals, ideals, and character are beyond reproach, who can carry on; and only through right living can we have such citizens! | What physical culture has done for me I leave to your judgment, because I can’t thank the good Lord enough to have allowed me to steal an old copy of a health magazine! Was it fate? I do not know, but it was the turning point of my life and career. It was wrong to steal, but I still think that God sanc- tioned my action in stealing the mag- azine; consequently it was justifiable stealing. Physical Culture = a Q And I Was Going to Be a Gangster!

I neglected or didn’t know the difference. The well-bred fellows were commonly known as “sissies,” and all “‘sissies’” were supposed to be effeminate and consequently lack- ing in manliness. I managed to pull the wool over my parents’ eyes. come a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! I was mentary school, I was an honor student. Furthermore, I had won the American Legion Medal Award for leadership, honor, athletics, scholarship, and sports- -manship. This all aided me materially to fool everyone. Can you imagine what a rascal I was? qualities to bend my efforts toward the good, and didn’t know until a copy of a health magazine revealed the truth to me. I also had qualities that were an asset to an excellent thief. Poor fool that I was! My ideal of a man seemed to be found among the degenerate and I didn’t ~ a know they were degenerate! Ignorance ~~ of the right ideals are still making boys- — and girls tread the downward path. I can see the proof of this in the environ- ment that I live in at present. However, stealing had first become an obsession and finally a passion with me. How could I have been so blind as not to see the terrible truth — the penitentiary sooner or later? I shudder to think what a character I should have become, had it not been for that health magazine. I had now entered high school as a dual character.

I was well equipped, physically, mentally, and morally; all I needed were the finances. For a full year I worked hard and saved, and at the end of the year I had enough to begin my college career. I entered Slippery Rock State Teachers College where. physical culture and health education were the major courses. I went directly to the President of the college and told him my circumstances. I told him what.I had done, where I was living, and he assured me that he would aid me. Physical culture had given me such a bearing and poise that the Presi- dent told me he knew instinctively that I was.a real man. On one occasion he even remarked that I had the finest poise and posture o body that he: had ever seen. Today, I ama junior and have been working my way through college since I began.

Middlefield, Conn, Gatomakeem line in the northwestern corner of Mon- tana, has been a favorite field for Mrs. Rinehart’s outdoor activities. During that period of her life when she had her boys growing up around her, never a summer passed that she didn’t have them with her in a private camp of their own in the Rocky Mountain region, hiking over the trails with her and to- gether absorbing the health, interest and clean inspiration that comes from an intimate contact with the out-of-doors. The fact that she has had a successful career and has always been a busy worker in the literary field never prevented Mary Roberts Rinehart from performing her duties as a real American mother, and one of these duties that she considered the most important was to rear her sons to know the healthful interest in the out- doors that she herself had learned to know. They have taken their vacations together, and still do—always outdoors. The Rinehart family is one family that a career hasn’t come between. “Women more than men,” says Mrs. Rinehart, “should learn to know the health and variety of interest that lies outdoors, beyond where the pavement ends—out over the hills to far horizons. Woman’s interest is too frequently con- fined within the four walls in which she lives and those of the homes in which she plays bridge, and the monotony of her indoor life breeds boredom and domestic discord. Man gets variety in his daily contacts—woman’s indoor duties are one continuous round of sameness. ‘There- fore. to be healthy in both mind and body and acquire the spirit of contentment that is sure death to ennui, women should cultivate an interest in outdoor activ- ities.” Mrs. F. Y. Dalziel, New York society woman, turned to outdoor life in the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado to regain strength after an operation and be- came so fascinated with outdoor life that she had been following wilderness trails in all parts of the world ever since. Things move in cycles, and today more and more women are turning to outdoor activities and finding surcease from in- door monotony in doing those things that the pioneer woman had to do from force of necessity. The woman of today still on occasion ‘“‘turns her face toward the horizon with her feet marching on,” and she, too, will mother a better race for having done so. There are those wise enough today to safeguard future genera- tions by devoting their charitable efforts to the promotion of girls’ outdoor socie- ties, hiking clubs, camps, etc., to per- petuate in the feminine soul that urge to the outdoors that is her heritage from the ploneer woman. HE Camp Fire Girls has a membership of 250,000 girls in this country alone and chapters in seven other countries be- sides. The New York Council of the Camp Fire Girls alone has over 2,000 members, in addition to which this largest city of the nation, where interest in the outdoors might well be expected to be at a mini- mum, has an endless chain of girls* hiking clubs whose members make a practise of spending their week-ends and _ leisure hours hiking over the trails that lead over the Ramapo Mountains in New Jersey or along the breast of The Palisades - Physveal Culture that tower above the lordly Hudson, ~ Over on Lake Tiorati in the Ramapo ~ Mountains, the Camp Fire Girls mamtain a camp where its 2,000 members from the — congested districts of New York City can — 4 indulge’ in outdoor activities, and nine — hiking trails ranging from a few miles — in length to the twenty-five-mile long Ramapo-Dunderberg Trail and the ~ twenty-four mile stretch of the Suffern- — } Bear Mountain Trail have been laid out — over the hills and valleys of the 40,000-— acre Harriman State Park.

They pre- — sented such a picture of outdoor freedom and healthful enjoyment that I took their — photograph, then I asked them where — they had come from. a “New York,” all the girls replied in unison, and then all of them laughed. They seemed to enjoy my look of sur- ~ prise and wonder at their statement that — they had hiked from New York to Lake ~ Louise, a distance of approximately — 2,000 miles. = That evening I saw them again in the ~ dining room of the Chateau Lake Louise, dressed in evening clothes—the best — dressed women in the room. This inter- — ested me, and I managed to be introduced — to them and got their story. They had worked as stenographers and at secretarial work indoors until their health had become undermined from the confinement, and when two of the girls had been advised by their doctors to — take to the outdoors and get more fresh — air, all four of them decided to emulate the Pioneer Woman and turn their faces toward the western horizon.” They had left New York City on June 5th of that year—which was 1922—to hike to San Francisco by the way of the if ihe un ee +

= ‘February, 1931” They had gone by way of. Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, ~ Duluth, Winnipeg, Calgary and Banff to Lake Louise, and from there they intended + to hike through to Vancouver and then _. down the Pacific Highway through | Seattle and Portland to San Francisco. ' Furthermore, they had earned their own _ way enroute, working as stenographers ~ and secretaries or at such employment as they could get in the various cities until they had saved up enough money to tide them along their way for a period, then they would “jack” their jobs and hike westward until their general fund needed replenishing again. If one of the girls got a job she cared the others until they also found employ- ment at something. In Cleveland two ' of the girls had turned “‘newsboys”’ and sold newspapers for two days—and their sales were heavy because of the novelty q of two such healthy looking girls selling papers on the street. They had arrived ~~ in Chicago on a Saturday, “‘dead broke.” On Monday morning one of the girls secured employment as secretary, and before the day was over all four had found work at something. ‘The money they earned here kept them going as far as Winnipeg, where again they went to work. As they left each point along their route they would ship their dress clothes on ahead to the next stopping place, packed in a trunk, so they could “doll up” and -..- look respectable when they arrived there. What they required for their daily needs | ‘between stopping places was carried in knapsacks on their backs. And here they were, 2,000 miles from their starting point, healthy, happy and ‘having the time of their lives” according “to their own words, with not a trace of their former indoor ills to mar the joy of living. They had acquired a new interest in life, had learned that the world outside of the cities and away from the nerve- : racking subways and the sordid strife for the baubles that men call wealth is not a bad world in which to live..

Her name is Madeline Turnor, and among her duties is that of making other women who come : up there to ride the trails on vacation feel at home‘on the trail and in camp—and ’ I'll venture to say that she makes many 3 of them feel envious of her clean outlook | on life and her confident capability. Up beyond where the railroad ends in the Peace River Country I found, two - . American girls running a tea room in a - . log cabin—probably the record for the farthest north among tea rooms.

These two girls had iaeek waitresses in Buffalo, and they had served as nurses during the war and absorbed so much of the outdoors and the confident courage that goes with it that they couldn’t return to humdrum indoor duties again—so they had turned their faces toward the north and nature in the raw. COON TACT with the outdoors is good for the soul as well: as the physical health of woman. Woman’s place may be in the home, as many critics of the modern emancipated woman have as- serted—but she is narrowing her life and shriveling her soul and working a perman- ent harm on that home if she puts in all of her time there. She doesn’t need to go the extremes of . outdoor life related in some of the cases herewith. She doesn’t need to hike across the continent, or go big-game hunting, or isolate herself i in the wilder- Outdoors is just what the word implies—outside of your own door. And out beyond the limits of the town in which any woman lives there are hills and valleys and fields and woodland _paths and running streams where there is abundant health and variety of interest at every turn of the road, and where ideals that have died of malnutrition indoors are | reborn in the soul. Municipal govern- ments, wise in this generation when the spreading out of the cities has encroached on. the open country, have brought the ~ outdoors within the city limits in the form of city parks that present breathing places and hiking stretches within the reach of all. An hour each day outdoors—not shop- ping or strolling or gossiping with a neighbor, but in a good, brisk walk into the country or the most secluded wood- land sections, of the city park—will pay big dividends to any woman. It will give. her thoughts that she never had before, a contentment that she never knew, a beauty that comes from the healthy vigor and quickened bloodstream within her instead of from the corner drugstore. Get the outdoor habit, girls—and then keep it. Get your feet out of your high- heeled shoes once in a while and get them into a pair of good, stout, broad-toed moccasin hiking shoes and get out into the country and learn the joys of living. Know what it means to feel the blood coursing through your veins, bringing ‘color to your cheeks and luster to your eyes until you-stand out from the faded, burned-out indoor girls like a rose bloom- ing on an ash heap.

But if you want to magnify your energy—sharpen your brain-to razor edge—put a glorious — sparkle in your eye—pull yourself up to a health ° level where you can laugh at disease and glory in. vitality—you’re going to ‘tead this message - to the last line. I speak from experience. It was a message just such as this that dynamited me out of the slough — of dullness and wretched health into the sunlit atmosphere of-happiness, vitality and vigor. To me, and no doubt to you, an Internal Bath was something that had never come within my sphere of knowledge. So I tore off a coupon similar to the one shown below. I wanted to find out what it was all about. And back came a booklet. This booklet was. named ‘“‘Why We Should Bathe Internally.” It Was just choked with common sense and facts, What Is an Internal Bath? This was my first shock. Vaguely I had a idea that an internal bath was an enema. by a - stretch of the imagination, a new- angie laxa- * _ tive. In both cases I was wrong: ‘uine, true internal bath is no more like an enema A real, gen- than a kite is like an airplane. The only simi- larity is the employment of water in each case. And so far as laxatives are concerned, I learned one thing—to abstain from them completely. A bona fide internal bath is the administration into the intestinal tract of pure, warm water, Tyrrellized by a marvelous cleansing tonic.) The Sree that holds the liquid and injects it is the A Meee : 3 Cascade, the invention of that eminent Ys Sainte: Dr. Charles A. Tyrrell, who perfected it to save his own life. Now here’s where the genuine internal bath differs radically from the’ enema, roe The lower intestine, called by the great Pro- i ‘the most prolific source of disease,” is five feet long and shaped like an inverted U—thus' 9. The enema cleanses but a: third of this i hede apt’ to: the first bend. The J. B. Cascade treatment cleanses it the entire foactik ea is the only appliance that coes. You have only to read that booklet, ‘Why We Should Bathe Internally,” to fully under- stand. how the Cascade alone can do this. There is, absolutely no pain or discomfort. Why Take an Internal Bath? © Here is why: The intestinal tract is the waste canal of the body. Due to our soft foods, lack of vigorous exercise and highly artificial civilization, nine out of ten persons suffer from intestinal stasis (delay). The passage of waste is entirely too slow. Result: Germs and poisons breed in this waste and enter the blood through the blood vessels in the intestinal walls. These poisons are extremely insidious. The headaches you get—the skin blemishes—ithe fatigue—the mental sluggishness—the susceptibility to colds—and countless other ills are directly due to the presence of these poisons in -your system. They are the generic causes of -pre- mature old age, rheumatism, high blood pressure and many serious maladies. Thus it is imperative that your system be free of ‘#9 these poisons. And the only sure and effective means is ° internal bathing. In fifteen minutes it flushes the in- testInal tract of all impurities. And each treatment strengthens the intestinal muscles so the passage of waste is hastened. Immediate Benehis Taken just before retiring, you will sleep like” a child.

The only building*for miles up the river on the farther bank was Mr. More’s cabin. And down the river there was only a deserted shack two miles be- low. Here was another means of crossing the river. Or, rather, it had been a means when the shack was inhabited years before. A cable stretched from bank to bank, and on it, depending for a pulley, hung a small car. The shack dweller, seated in the car, used to pull himself across, hand over hand. But now the whole contraption had become thoroughly rusted, and unsafe. For years no one had been known to cross by it. Her mind intent on possible approaches to Mr. More’s cabin, Miss White knocked at the ranger’s office. In response to a hearty “Come in,” she entered to find Kirk Terry poring over forestry maps spread on a table. He sprang up, offering hee a chair. “Miss White, you do me honor,”’ he said. Hattie White looked at the strong hands on the chair back. They were russet with sunburn, but the right was no browner than the left. *‘No,”’ she said, “‘I come with bad news and an enormous amount of curiosity. Isn’t Mr. More a friend of yours?” IRK TERRY’S debonair manner slipped from him and his golden brown eyes darkened. ‘‘Yes, in a way. Why: et She asked him another question, ““Do you know any one who would profit by - his death?” “His death!’ Young Terry hesitated, ran a hand through his curly hair. ‘“‘Well yes. But, good God! Miss White, he isn’t dead?” | “Mr. More was killed in his cabin about two hours ago.” And she informed him of all that she had seen. “Have you told them at Seaver’s yet?”’ he asked. “No, the circumstances are so peculiar that I feel suspicious of every single guest at Seaver’s except you and myself. Hadn’t we better say nothing of it here, and tele- phone the sheriff?”’ Kirk Terry called up the county seat. After a brisk conversation, “Sheriff Wil- son will leave at once,” he said, “with the -eoroner and Allyn, the district attorney.” “And now, young man,” Hattie White settled herself for conversation, “‘who was the mysterious Mr. More?” ‘‘He was really Lord Swarthmore.”’ Miss White nodded, “I’m not surprised. Hardly the habitat of an English lord though, is it?” “The war did it,” Kirk Terry explained, “practically wiped the family out. Three sons and five grandsons. Lord Swarth- more couldn’t bear to stay in England. So he tock the name More, and came here.” “‘A strange place for him to come to,” Hattie White commented. ‘Not in his case. His youngest son had spent a lot of time on the coast tinkering around mines, bought out sev- eral in California, and this little placer tunnel up the river. That lawyer, Hallam, you know, put him on to this one.”’ ~ “Hallam?” Miss White asked. Physical Culture Continued from page 45 “Yes, same man.” *“That’s interesting.” “Hallam was pretty close to Lord Swarthmore, handled this end of his - business affairs for him. Big affairs, too: Swarthmore had an enormous income from oil wells in Batum and rubber in Singapore.” “Hallam must get fat fees then,” Hattie White mused. “You'd hardly expect him to kill the goose that lays the golden egg.” | “IT don’t know,” Kirk Terry hesitated again. “You see, Lord Swarthmore talked a lot about his affairs to me. Just had to talk to somebody, I guess. You asked me a while ago if any one would benefit by Mr. More’s death. Well Hallam would. Swarthmore told me that Hallam had been very faithful to his in- terests. He left him $100,000 in his will.” “It would be a fortune to an attorney in a small country town,’ Hattie White said. “I suppose Mr. Hallam knew of the bequest.” “Oh, certainly. thing together.” “We have one beneficiary then, and a huge estate. There must have been others who would profit by Swarthmore’s death.” “You don’t think it could have been simple robbery? The gold nuggets would be worth a good deal,’ Kirk suggested. They discussed every- “T think it was meant to look like © robbery, and that’s why the nuggets were taken, but a robber, pure and simple, wouldn’t be likely to have an imported Hardy line and that special dry fly. Be- sides he’d have taken the gold with him. No, I think the murderer had his eye on a sum so big that the nuggets didn’t in- terest him. ‘Then, while an ordinary robber might have means of disposing of the gold, a man of some standing in a community wouldn’t.”’ “That brings us back to Hallam again,”’ Kirk suggested. “Hallam or someone else. Wasn’t there any distant connection to inherit the title and estate?”’ ‘Lord Swarthmore had a grandnephew in Victoria, B. C.” ‘Victoria, B. C.!’ Hattie White sat up straight in her chair. “Were they friendly?” she asked in a quiet voice. ‘‘Swarthmore never saw him until this spring when he went up to Victoria just to meet him. You see Swarthmore hated mixed blood; he said all he’d ever known ran yellow instead of blue. And this Colin Campbell’s a quarter Indian.” 3 AND what was his opinion of Camp- bell when he came back?”’ Hattie White’s interest was so intense that her speech turned quick and staccato. “He said—I remember the very words—that Campbell was a personable young man; the Indian blood didn’t show in him at all. Said he was a wild young spark with the gambling debts of a gentleman. Hed decided to leave everything to him so the title could carry on with suitable dignity.’ “Ah!” Hattie White relaxed a little, ‘that’s better. We have now two men who benefit by Mr. More’s death.

* | February, 1 931 instead- of one. And this Canadian connection brings me back to the dry ~ fly. You know that’s my business, manufacturing dry flies.”’ Kirk Terry nodded, “Yes, the famous Backstrom flies.” “The business has eae the family for vears,’ Miss: White went on. “It was founded by my grandfather Back- strom, and now it’s mine. ‘You know,” she glanced at her supple fingers, ‘“‘we | combine feathers from a Canada wood | duck or a South American condor, or -a starling, or the under wing of a pea- cock, with fur from an Australian opos- sum, or a mole, or from a deer’s tail, or a rabbit’s face. Well,” she laughed, “here I go on my hobby; but you see what rouses my curiosity in this whole affair is the fishing angle of it. I want “to find, the man who owned that tawny bucktail fly, and that imported Hardy line. And what I’m getting at right now,” she went on, “is this: that particular fly [ found in Lord Swarthmore’s hand was made by Skookum Tumtum, an Indian guide on the Fraser River. He makes them for the men he takes into the upper waters to fish. Only a_ few men would have those flies. Colin Campbell would be more likely ‘to have them than our small town lawyer, Hallam. But speaking of Mr. Hallam—’’ she waved a hand toward the window. Kick Terry half rosé from his seat to see the spare figure of the lawyer emerge from the woods into the open land of the settlement. ‘“‘He’s coming from that way, he said hoarsely. ES,” Hattie White agreed, ‘“‘he’s coming, and quite openly. But we mustn’t forget that there are two other - guests at the hotel. Mr. Woodley says that he is from New York. Knoles is a Canadian. I think he might be called personable. Where do you suppose they spent the afternoon? And we mustn’t forget, either, that all three of these men have hands like mine, the right burned browner than the left by fly fishing over bright water.” Across the road old Pa ee appeared on the back porch, and announced dinner — -__ by belaboring with all his might the tri- | angle hanging there. Hattie White stood. up to go. “I faneat ‘my trout for supper,’ she said, “‘and it’s too late to honor the meal by getting into a skirt like a lady. Come on, Kirk Terry, let’s dine with the three suspects.” Nothing of moment transpired during dinner. The three men with Hattie White and Kirk Terry made five at table. They spoke of the thunder storm. Woodley said that it had caught him fishing on the South Fork below Seaver’s. In general, the conversation, steered by Hattie White, was on palmistry. All spread their hands on the table. She was ap- palled to find how much one man’s hands looked like the next man’s. She could not differentiate among them except ‘that the lawyer’s were longer, but not enough, however, to make the fact valuable for evidence. - About nine the sheriff’s party arrived. a and called ‘her’ over to Kirk Terry’s.

White heard them return and go, silent except for clattering boots, to their rooms. Nothing had yet been said at Seaver’s concerning the murder. _ So much nocturnal activity could’ not, however, go unremarked in that out-of- the-way place. There was an atmosphere of question and suspense when Seaver’s guests gathered for breakfast the next morning. And when Attorney Allyn, with the bulky sheriff behind him, entered the dining room the murder was soon out. Hattie White glanced with quick eyes ~Mr Hallam was undoubtedly the most disturbed. His hand shook so that he dropped a half ring of doughnut into his coffee. Woodley exclaimed, ‘Lord Swarthmore! What! That old miner no one ever saw!’ While - Knoles burst into voluble explanation of when and where he had last seen the murdered man. “And one of them must have killed him!’ Hattie White thought indignantly. Allyn concluded, ““Merely as a matter of form, gentlemen, I shall ask to inter- view you one at a time in Terry’s office. Mr. Hallam first, please. Will you come too, Miss White?” Hattie White considered Attorney Allyn. He was a sharp-faced young man, brisk and alert. ‘Too alert, too eager. FTER the coroner had departed with Lord Swarthmore’s body, and the sheriff had set out to “scour the woods,” something like a trial without jury took place in the forest ranger’s office. Mr. Hallam answered his summons promptly. Thomas Hallam was a thin, tall, sandy- haired man with full lips and a weak chin sheltered by a Van Dyke beard. His eyes were stealthy. They had a way of sliding from one face to another as if he wondered what people thought of him. He was visibly nervous under Attorney Allyn’s quizzing. He admitted that he had called on Lord Swarthmore the after- noon before. He didn’t remember the exact time, rather early in the afternoon. He had stayed about an hour talking over a business matter. ‘‘What business?” snapped. “TIT can’t see that it is necessary to answer that question,” Mr. Hallam ob- jected. “Oh, yes, it is,” Allyn declared. “It’s necessary to answer any and all questions put to you. We must know what sub- ject you were discussing.” ““We were discussing his will,’’ Hallam answered. “I had drawn it up for him in the spring and he wanted some changes made in it.’ **What changes?” “The first will left the bulk of his es- tate to a nephew, Colin Campbell, in Victoria. Lord Swarthmore decided to disinherit him and leave it to a war veterans’ relief fund in England.” ‘What made him change his mind?” Allyn quizzed. “Campbell got into trouble. Lord Swarthmore bought him out of it for the good of the family name. But he de- cided to disinherit him so that Campbell wouldn’t have means enough to make the name notorious.’ “You are sure,’ + hebbrhies Allyn leant Attorney Allyn you were with Lord Swarthmore?”’ Physical Culture across the table and shot the question “you are sure that Lord Swarthmontal 4 didn’t threaten to change his mind ei about the $100,000 he willed to you, and — that you quarrelled with him over that, and struck him and later stole the nug- am gets from his desk and concealed them?” 7 a Hallam ran startled eyes around the — little group. *T’m certain,’ he stammered. “Well, supposing he didn’t threaten — to leave you out, that $100,000 would — come handy, wouldn’t it, to a man who ~ wants to run for the legislature, a ee who pays his wife big alimony, and who ~ is very friendly with a certain luxurious S Dolly Abel?” = The lawyer’s face paled. “‘See here, you 9 young sprig’ —he began. ; *“Well,” he 4 a = i Ga Attorney Allyn relaxed. said, “you see the situation you are in, — a Mr. ‘Hatta: Now, how long did you saa “About an hour.” = “Where were you during the a “ storm?” — “I was in the mine tunnel.

You say yourself that you saw him cross the bridge.” “But,” Hattie White objected, “Id like to suggest that there’s a ferry cross- ing right here at Seaver’s, and a trail up the other side, and two men still to ques- tion.” “You may trust me,” said young Allyn stiffly, “to leave no stone, however useless, unturned, Miss White.

I still think Hallam is the guilty party, but the way Knoles protested made me suspicious.” “Well it does begin to look as if we had two murderers and only one murdered man,’ Hattie White said. “Knoles knew about the Skookum Tumtum flies.” “Well,” Allyn’s voice was weary, *‘let’s hope that Woodley has a water- tight alibi. We can’t use three murderers,” and when he came in, it appeared that Woodley had. — Harl Woodley was, as Miss White hac said, of the same general outward type as Knoles, the type of many present day athletic young men. Of the two, Woodley was the handsomer. The resemblance stopped with their physical make-up. Where Knoles was argumentative. Wood- ley was quiet, a man of few words: where Knoles protested that he was a gentleman, Woodley was courteous: Knoles was active to the point of restlessness, Wood- ley, while he gave the impression of latent force, moved with an indolent ease. He said that he had spent the entire afternoon fishing on the South Fork. Hattie White, who had heard the state- ment at dinner the night before, con- sidered it now anew. The South Fork was not an expert angler’s stream. It was smaller and easier to fish. Its banks were open, affording a free back cast, but the chief objection to it was that it was not a glacial stream, its waters were de- grees warmer than the icy river, and its trout, In consequence, were not so gamey. They did not put up a rushing fight that the large rainbows in the river did. “Where is the South Fork?” Allyn asked. | . “A mile and a half down the river on this side.” : ‘““Anybody see you go?” ‘Terry here.” “That’s right,” Terry nodded. “TI was on the hotel porch after lunch and Woodley came up and spoke to me on his way to the down trail.” ‘Anybody see you come back?”’ “IT met Pa Seaver about a quarter of a mile down the trail going after the cows.”’ “Catch any fish?” *“We’re going to have them for lunch.” “Well, Allyn pronounced, “‘that lets you out. You're in luck, Woodley. By the way, vou didn’t use the ferry yester- day afternoon, did you?” Harl Woodley looked at him with a puzzled frown. ‘“‘Pa Seaver had it tied up to the bank all afternoon mending the apron until he went after the cows,” he stated. LLYN cast a triumphant grimace in the direction of Hattie White. . **As a matter of fact,’ he said amiably, “Wwe practically have the murderer bagged.” | “Tm glad to hear that,’ Woodley answered. “It was a shockingly brutal affair. Please consider me at your service to assist in any way. Any more ques- tions?” “Nothing more, thank you. We've got him,” Allyn grew jocular. “His fate is simply hanging by a hair. Eh! Miss White?” As the door closed on Woodley, Hattie . - attorney joined her, and tke lumbering Physical Culture — White, knitting with an indignant click of her needles, said, in a voice cold as the glacial waters of the river, “You left out the statement, Mr. Allyn, that we have a line on the murderer. Shouldn’t you have added that if you really wanted him to know our clues?” Allyn observed her with exaggerated patience. ““Miss White,” he said, “the ferry being tied up lets out Knoles, Woodley was down the river instead of up, and Hallam, I must remind you, you saw yourself.” Sheriff Wilson’s huge bulk loomed in the doorway. He drew the heavy sack of 3 nuggets from beneath his coat and threw it with a thump on the table. ‘“‘Gosh all fish hooks!’ he murmured, sinking into a chair, “took me all morning.” “Did you find any weapon, Wilson?” *"No such luck,” the sheriff growled. Across the road Pa Seaver pounded the gong to announce the lunch hour. ae “After lunch, I'll ask the three men to come in together,’ Allyn announced. “T’ll tell °em they can bring their tackle and leave from here with an afternoon’s sport ahead of them. That will give us a chance to go over Hallam’s outfit. Wil- son, you'll be on hand with a gun to -eover and arrest him; I'll call the meet- ing at two.” | {AT TIE WHITE ate her meal thought- 4 fully. The rainbow trout, fried brown and crisp in olive oil, were deli- cious. She ate three of them and part of _ a fourth, picking over each of the platters Pa Seaver brought in, in a choosey and even ill-bred fashion. In a moment of — abstraction she took a fifth, nibbling a few bites. Then, her plate piled high — with heads, tails and backbones, she left the table before dessert. At the same ~— time she lifted Kirk Terry from his chair ~ with a flash of her gray eyes. = “Kirk Terry,” she said in a low voice, ~ when they reached the porch, “‘Allyn is) ~ about as useful in this case as a nice young juvenile lead. He’s had one intelligent gleam, the idea of bringing them all in — with their tackle this afternoon. But if it’s ever known which of those two men killed Lord Swarthmore you and I shall have to find out. Take your pony and ~ ride down on this side of the river to that old cable. See if the thing isn’t oiled and running. He went at once to the stable. Hattie White walked, with due de- liberation, back to his office to await developments. Before long the district sheriff. At a quarter to one, Kirk Terry returned. With his coming the conversa- tion became general. Mr. Allyn still argued his belief in Hallam’s guilt, but, in the end, he said, “Of course, Miss White, Pll bear in mind that the cable down the river is in order, and the car was found on this side.” *“Which,’’ Miss White added, ‘‘makes it possible that either Woodley or Knoles, by tending strictly to the business in hand, could have crossed by the cable, killed Lord Swarthmore, and got back the same way before dinner.” The district attorney was worried. “Three possible murderers now,” he grumbled. “This case is beginning to grow too complicated for me.”’ > *‘And for me,’ Hattie White asserted,

But the sheriff thought enough of her .sugges- tion to arm Kirk Terry as well as himself and post him where he also commanded the door. “If one of these here men,’ he growled, “‘is the lord’s nephew, we'll put a stop to any more murders.”’ The three men came in. All were dressed in fishing togs, high boots, and water-proof coats, their pockets bulging with fly boxes and leader cases. And each one wore the angler’s favorite headgear, a soft felt hat of venerable age, its crown decorated with fuzzy dry flies. Any friendliness that ever existed among them was gone. Each man eyed the others with distrust, eyed the whole room- The air of the small electric with ful with distrust. office became suddenly suspicion. In this surcharged atmosphere the sharp voice of Attorney Allyn crackled like a thunderbolt. “Gentlemen,” he said, “IT regret it exceedingly, but justice must be served. Certain aspects of this case make it necessary for us to examine your equipment. We will do so as speedily as possible. The innocent will soon be cleared. But before we begin there is a question I wish to ask. Which one of you put the cable down the river in running order?” Hallam was visibly astonished. Wood- ley seemed bored. ‘Knoles’ face was flushed with anger. “More of your American pryin’!” he burst out. ‘Your silly curiosity, What's a cable down the river got to do with a murder five miles above?” ‘‘Hem!”’ said Attorney Allyn, “I take it you mended the cable, Mr. Knoles?” “Right,” he sneered, ‘“‘and why did [ mend it? Ill ask the question of myself to save you the trouble, Mr. District Attorney. I mended it because some of the finest fishin’ water on the river runs just there, midstream. One of my big trout has a way of risin’ there when I cast from the car.” ‘Rises to a Skookum Tumtum fly, Mr. Knoles?” “T tell you I never saw that Indian Johnny’s flies. Have I to tell you that again?” “No,” Allyn answered, “just hand over your rod and fly box and so on to Miss White.” OME minutes passed while Hattie White went over his tackle. “Ah,”’ she said, ““you tie your own Spanish gut leaders, don’t you, Mr. Knoles? And your trout flies all have snells. You don’t use the eyed ones at all, do you? The Skookum Tumtum is an eyed fly. That’s a beautiful yellow-bodied caddie, Mr. Knoles. Where did you get it?” She made him a little bow. “I’m extremely complimented by the number of Back- strom flies you possess.” She handed back everything but his rod. Her brown fingers closed lovingly around the cork grip. With a flick of her wrist, she tried the balance of the slender split bamboo. “I’ve one I'll trade you for this,” she said, “‘specially built, isn’t it? A rod like this seems t® have a brain in its tip. I see you use an American line.

Today luck is with—”’ ‘**Hallam,’’ Sheriff Wilson’s voice rang ‘Stand aside. Quick, man, for your life. Hands up, Woodley! Stop where you are.’ The lawyer jumped, turned ghastly white and collapsed against the wall. Harl Woodley, his face unreadable as an Indian’s, threw up his hands. In the right was his rod. It was not set up. The three joints, bunched together, were held snug by knotted cords. A _ reel wound with line was attached to the grip of the first joint. Held thus, the lighter end toward him, the fragile bam- boo implement, weighted with the steel spool, appeared a dangerous weapon. The sheriff advanced to Woodley, re- volver in hand. ‘“‘Thought I didn’t see you,” he laughed, “slipping behind Hallam and making for the door. Ill just go through your pockets, Mr. Campbell.”’ Hattie White saw the sunburnt fist above the sheriff’s head relax and loosen. *“Look out, Sheriff,’ she said quietly, “that reel is heavy enough to stun a man. uncle with, isn’t it, Colin Campbell? A quick blow behind the ear?” OLIN CAMPBELL’S expression did not change, but his face turned an unearthly green. ‘Bring all his stuff, Kirk Terry,” she commanded. Her flexible frigate ran rapidly through the collection of little aluminum boxes retrieved from the water-proof coat. **Here,” she held out a fluffy handful of tawny hairs, “‘here are the bucktail flies to match the one we found Swarthmore’s thumb. If you'll look in Mr. Campbell’s hat you "Il see a little tear in the crown where the barb pulled out. I noticed it a while ago. Right in front under that blue upright. And this olive line,” deftly she unwound several feet from the steel spindle, “‘has at least two yards of the tapered end cut from it. You'll find that that piece on the sack of nuggets fits on exactly.” *‘Anything to say, Campbell?” the district attorney queried. “No.” The taciturnity of his ab- original ancestors had settled on the man known as Harl Woodley. Sheriff Wilson and Attorney Allyn prepared to depart with their prisoner. But, before they left Seaver’s, the dis- trict attorney faced Hattie White with a crestfallen air. “Why didn’t you suspect Hallam?” he asked. “Oh,” she said, “a woman’s reason. He didn’t look like it. Didn’t you notice how weak his chin is under the Van Dyke beard? No, I knew all the time it was one of the other two, and after lunch to- day I suspected Woodley.” “After lunch?” She laughed. “I didn’t tell you, did I? The fish Mr. Woodley-Campbell caught weren’t from the South Fork at all. He must have caught them that morning or maybe the afternoon before. It took him all that afternon to cross the cable, kill his granduncle, and get back in time for. dinner.” It’s what you killed your great | in Lord MORE BIG / TIRE BILLS.

Fair-haired and with a delicate complexion, they are generally intelligent and imaginative, possessed of a capricious. temperament, excitable, tiring quickly and recovering slowly while subject to emotional outbursts, night terrors, twitchings, grimacing, stuttering speech and general unrest. They are liable to’ be troubled with cold feet and hands, chilblains and ‘‘dead’’. fingers. Sore throats, attacks of asthma, vomit- ing and diarrhea are often suffered from and generally such children have con- — siderable difficulty in meeting sudden plex is almost certain evidence of what is technically called the “rheumatic diathesis” and experience has shown that a child exhibiting this ‘“‘complex’’ is practically a certain candidate for a rheumatic affection unless a very special and rigorous hygiene is adopted. In most cases, the rheumatism invades the child’s system stealthily. It is a treacherous disease, and often irreparable damage is done to the child’s heart before the parent is aware that the child is ill, for heart disease is the all too common legacy of rheumatism in childhood. Vague wandering pains, felt more sharply in damp weather, along with stiffness in the neck muscles and “‘stitches’’- in the side, are generally the first signs of: a rheumatic invasion. Such pains have the misleading name of “growing pains’’— this misnomer unfortunately often lead- ing to their neglect by parents. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the muscular aches and pains of a-child must never be ignored. -Put such a child to bed and call in a physician immediatel y. JN: older. children, rheumatism may show Dance itself in St. Vitus’ (chorea), which is simply a form of brain rheumatism, or by an attack of acute rheumatic fever. In this latter condition, the large joints (knee, ankle, elbow and wrist). become enlarged, tender and pain- ful and the inflammation has a tendency to flit from joint to joint from day to day. There is much fever which is accompanied by profuse sweating. Now, the danger of acute rheumatism— | even a its least obtrusive forms—is a variety of valvular heart disease which cripples the child in after life or leads. to. an early death. Unfortunately the heart disease ‘of ‘rheumatism, serious as it. is, is frequently insidious and painless in its onset. Parents are deceived and it may not be till signs of incipient heart failure arise that they realize that the early rheumatism has-left its scar upon the heart. The future of these heart in- valids isa sad one. They are condemned to an existence of very restricted physical and mental activity—fortunate if- they survive to years of maturity.

Physical Culture Continued from page 48 after the initial illness. The doctor ean do a great deal if he sees these cases in the early stages but he is powerless to help later on: at the most he can then only retard the weakening of the heart. Into the category of chronic rheuma- tism come joint diseases such as rheuma- toid and_ osteo-arthritis, the different kinds of muscular rheumatism such as lumbago or myalgia, and certain inflam- mations of-the nerves as in sciatica and other forms of neuritis. Malnutrition is a common precursor of this form of rheumatism but “focal infection,” by which is meant a localized microbie in- fection distributing poisons into. the blood, plays an ‘important part in its : ‘production. - focal infections are the gums and teeth, Chief among the sites of © but the intestine, the tonsils and nasal cavities and the genito-urinary organs may also be indicted in this respect. ‘VIDENCE of an infective cause in chronic rheumatism is also to be found. in other signs of self-poisoning such as bloodlessness, debility, liver . disorders; stomach or duodenal ulcer and chronic ap- Occupational injuries and strains and.habitual exposure to damp and draughty atmospheres act as aggravating factors in predisposed individuals but chronic rheumatism is best regarded as a- manifestation of chronic self-poisoning. In rheumatic joint affections there are usually some warning signs in the form of muscular cramps, weakness, wasting and neuralgias and it is imperative that such signs should not be neglected. Once the joint disease is established, it tends to make rapid progress and hence early diagnosis and prompt and sustained treatment are absolutely essential if the distressing deformities and _ crippling, which so commonly ensue, are to be prevented. One type of chronic rheumatism in women deserves special mention. Very often at the change of life,, women find themselves suffering from: stiffness and swelling of the knee joints. Oc- casionally, the knees seem to “give way” and there are generally pains, as a rule most troublesome at night. If these women are observant, they will notice certain changes in. their appearance. Their figures\tend to get stout and vn- gainly, their hair becomes thin and lacks luster and their skin develops a harsh, dry appearance. ‘Such women are suffer-: ing from a degree of thyroid gland’ deficiency in which condition there ap- pears to be a peculiar lability to the development of osteo-arthritis. Early treatment by means of thyroid gland extract, under the supervision. of the physician, along with strict attention to the personal hygiene, is highly beneficial in.such cases, often. leading to a complete. arrest of the morbid- process. I think I have made it clear that we have sufficient evidence of the causes of © rheumatism” to enable us with almost complete certainty to prevent the dis- ease. How is this to be accomplished? As we know there is an inherited predispo- sition to rheumatism, we must start with the child. Children of rheumatic parents,

‘bseteaie hy Yh ap eee ry ge February, 1931 especially those who exhibit the char- acteristics already described, should re- ceive special health training from their earliest years. Every effort must be made to harden or de-sensitize the child who as far as possible should live an open- air life exposed to sun and air. All “coddling” is tabu. The skin should be strengthened by a daily warm bath followed by cold douching and then by brisk friction with a rough towel. Physical exercises under supervision are important but the dangers of fatigue are to be avoided. In this connection, remember that mental fatigue is just as harmful as bodily fatigue. Therefore such children should go slowly at school, and on no account be pushed or over- worked. Also make sure that their sleep at night is adequate. As these pre- rheumatic children (as they are called) are emotionally ‘“‘difficult,” restraint in disciplining on the part of the parents is very necessary. Bullying the child into good behavior cannot be too strongly condemned. Diet requires watching. It should consist of foodstuffs rich im vitamins—especially vitamin B and in mineral salts, notably iodine and lime. Strict attention to the state of the teeth, the tonsils and the adenoids is necessary and periodic medical examination is ad- visable. | pS: If a healthy constitution is thus gained in early life, there is every likelihood of immunity to rheumatism in later life, provided certain precautions are adopted. OF extreme importance is the avoidance of “focal infection.’ This necessitates careful attention to the teeth and gums with periodic visits to the dentist. If any doubt about the soundness.of a tooth exists, an X-ray photograph should be taken for an abscess in the apex of a tooth may be detected only in this way. Sufferers from frequent colds and re- current sore throats should seek expert medical advice. Regular functioning of the bowels is very essential and this is best attained by correct dieting and exercising. Every effort must be made to keep the state of nutrition at a high level. Fruit, vegetables, whole-meal cereals and dairy produce should be the staple foodstuffs while meat should be taken in extreme moderation. : Industrial workers, exposed to damp and wet, should wear suitable cloth- ing and should change damp garments as soon as convenient and follow this with a warm bath and .a_ thorough rub- bing down. Employers, in their own interests as well as those of their workers, would be well advised to grant facilities for the changing of clothes and for bath- ing. Sunlight has considerable value in the prevention as well as the treatment of chronic rheumatism and full use should be made of this health-giving influence. The installation of artificial sunlight lamps in factories and workshops under the direction of a doctor would be a great boon to the health of the industrial worker and would undoubtedly help to ‘diminish the ravages of chronic rheuma- tism. In conclusion, I warn all who come’ of rheumatic stock to be fully cognizant of the possible dangers which loom ahead and to forearm themselves with a knowl- edge of the preventive measures which present-day medical science has to offer. Preparing For Motherhood A Book of Great Helpfulness To Expectant Mothers Once embarked upon the stirring adventure of motherhood, there is no turn- ing back; no post- ponement, no hurrying matters. Nature runs its course with the certainty and fi- nality of fate. And it is a road you must travel alone. No matter . ‘ how loving and sympathetic your husband may be, or how willing he is to bear his share of the burden, there is nothing he can do! But there is a very. great deal that you can do in preparation for becoming a mother to. reduce the unpleasantness and discomfort of the preliminary period. And make the final ordeal surprisingly easy and comparatively free from pain. On the long road you travel beforehand, you can leave worry, terror and fear, behind! Know What To Do Many babies in these United States are born without a doctor in attendance. Ar- range with a doctor if you can, according to your means, but it is of great importance that you understand and help yourself— and this book will show you how to make things saferand easier. The highest priced specialists put great emphasis on living habits, diet and general conditions during pregnancy—and have monthly calls to their office. They welcome the intelligent cooperation of patients... With “Preparing for Motherhood” you can read over in your own home evenings the things to do and not to do. You yourself can and must do your part—Nature is your friend and ally. Nature — Your Loyal Ally Nature never intended women to undergo the horrors of childbirth that have been de- veloped among the more highly civilized races. Animals have no trouble—women of the savage tribes give birth to their babies with little or no convenience. Is it reasonable to suppose that Nature has dis- criminated against a certain class of women —that she picked upon you and your civilized sisters to endure special agonies in her system of race perpetuation? Nature is not at fault but our modern mode of living is. If you prepare yourself for child- birth along the lines that Nature-intended, she will become your loyal ally and will take you through with surprising ease.

He offered a challenge cup for annual matches over the post-road that dips from Davos to Klosters, finest natural run in the En- gadine. From the interest thus crystal- lized, in 1884, issued the still popular, 1350-yard Cresta Run for skeleton sleds at St. Moritz.. Under its impetus, the skeleton monopolized the affections of sledders until L. P. Child appeared in 1887 with a clipper imported from the United. States. Presumably, it was the first Yankee clipper seen on the ‘Conti- nent. superiority over the “‘schlittli,” as the racing sled. then was called, and in- augurated the evolution of design re- sponsible for the low and efficient skele- ton of today. Skeleton racers play lone hands, prone on their sleds, steering and braking with gauntleted fingers and specially shod feet. There is no reliable record of exactly where and when the double-runner first took form. No doubt it was born, prob- ably in America, of the desire of a num- ber of youths to go a-coasting at one and the same time upon a too small clipper sled. To gratify this ambition, it required little ingenuity to fashion a pair of strong clippers and a board into an elongated hybrid, the forward runners pivoted for dirigibility and the rearward immovably attached. AGGIN G under its load, we may im- agine, it proved. too heavy to start down-grade of its own weight and, just a bit irritably, the occupants must have thrown their bodies forward one after the other, coaxing it, by a series of unre- lated jerks, into motion. Once under way, by swaying in unison slowly back- ward and then quickly and forcefully forward, much like a rowing créw in action, they.advanced the double-runner’s pace and by their “bobbing” created for the pristine contraption the name which still clings to it. Bobbing is a _ well- practised essential of modern bob-racing. At any rate,.it was not until 1903 that the bob-sled achieved such popularity abroad as to kindle demands for an artificial course. This, also, was built at’ St. Moritz. Compared to present- day-runs, it was as crude as the sleds which endeavored, often unsuccessfully, to take its frequent turns. If it was nothing more, this original St. Moritz track was at least a beginning for the specialized science of bob-run building with whose development im-— provement of the sled. itself has kept abreast.. Beside the original, improvised double-runner, the particularly modeled racing bob of 1930 is much lower, broader, heavier, stronger and more positively controlled. _ All metal, or Secgpecess wood, elabonateti’. she .° It quickly demonstrated its - we? Physicat Culture a ‘ Fd Continued from page 41 reinforced with steel or iron and with metal runners, are the most satisfactory ‘materials. Three hundred and_ fifty pounds is a representative weight, un- loaded, and pig-iron or lead ballast may, ‘under some conditions, be carried. Olym- pic bobbing at Lake Placid, under the newly revised championship rules of the. International Bobsleigh and Toboggan- ing Federation, is to be by 4-man and 2- man teams, on bobs weighing no mere than 485 pounds and on “boblets’’ not to exceed 353 pounds, including ballast ‘but not the crew. Tread of the runners had been fixed by the I. B. T. F. at two _ alternative widths of 17 and 261% inches. RDINARILY a wheel, somewhat smaller than the auto wheel and on a stubby, nearly vertical post, and some- times a cross-bar and ropes, are the means of steering. A heavy frame, circled around the forward end, serves as bumper. ‘Powerful brakes, corisisting of a strongly saw-toothed transverse bar of steel, are fitted to the rear. By two short hand- -levers at either side of the body of the bob they. may be lightly or vigorously applied to the surface of the run. Long controversy has raged among bobmen on the relative merits. of the sitting and lying positions for racing. Because of its lower center of gravity, greater steadiness and lIcssened head- resistance, the prone posture is un- questionably the faster. It makes little more than dead weight, however, of all team members except pilot and brakeman and by his recumbency severely ecm- barrasses the latter’s function. For these two reasons, the I.B.T.F. has decreed that teams in all future championships must race upright. “The bobmen sit in- side one another’s outspread legs, their insteps on foot-rests, and hold at either side to strap handles which facilitate bobbing on the straightaways and bal- ance on the curves. All are required to wear protective head armor resembling the football helmet and are uniformed in colorful jerseys. Such are the vivid, half-tone machines, part insentient fabric, ‘part human, streaking winterly down the frozen courses which are Europe’s bob-runs. Best known are those at St. Moritz, long since rebuilt, on which the II Olympie races were run in 1928; at Chamonix, France, scene of the I Olympic bob con- tests; at Davos, Engelberg, Murren and Grindelwald, Switzerland, and Hahn- enklee, Schreiberhau, Krummbhuebel and Schierki, Germany. Admittedly swiftest is the Garmiseh-Partenkirchen course, a hundred miles or so south of Munich, on which a bob piloted by the famous Kilian of Germany attained 70° and averaged better than 45 miles an hour for the two and a half-mile decline. In general, these runs, cascading like mammoth ticker tapes a half-mile or more down a mountainside, are six-foot paths of ice covered by delicate, snowy - mantles and flanked by low guard-rails of snow. A run will vary from 5 to 20. per cent. in steepness and average from 8 to 12 per cent. which is to say that ihe mean a ces is. between 8 and 12 feet fer

February, 1931 every hundred feet of distance. At the start is a grade accentuated so the bobs may speedily get under way. Winding bends, tamely listed, and sharp hairpin, horseshoe or “S’’ turns, of severe bank, zigzag the course into ruler-like stretches of diversified length. Beyond the finish is an unobstructed and level or up- graded area strewn with sawdust to help arrest and stop the slowing sleds. The fewer a run’s curves, the higher the average speed and vice versa, for none but veteran and utterly temeritous bob-teams dare not brake as they plunge -toward at least some turns on most courses. Braking is permitted only on the readily repaired straightaways be- cause it tears up the curves too much. These curves should be laid out in scien- tific consonance with formulae evolved by engineers versed in the vagaries of centrifugal force. They are of elliptic or parabolic cross-section and from 40 to 70 feet in radius. q Circular curves have been found q practically as well as theoretically un- 4 sound for bob-sledding since they en- ’ tail too sudden and violent a deviation q from straight flight. This transition 3 must be gradual so that the bob, even 2 at excessive speed, may have an oppor- tunity to change its line of travel without unavoidable loss of control and sorry con- sequences. Parabolic easement curves 7 accordingly flank the central section of 3 properly engineered sharp turns. 3 It is an interesting psychologic oddity that the human organism is said to have a constant right-hand “‘drift,” that arm and brain and instinct coordinate less dependably when the body is turning leftward. It is true that bob spills on left turns are more numerous than on : curves to the right. Practise runs are | therefore sharply curved only to the right and the novitiate must master these and mild left turns before essaying the stiff curve leftward. {XN regions of plentiful precipitation, curves are each winter reconstructed of ice and ‘snow throughout. For the best results, however, they are built as com- pletely as possible, out of sledding season, of earth. wood or stone properly but- tressed with shoring or retaining walls. With winter, they are paved to a depth of four to six inches in ice, top-dressed with snow and finished to the smooth- ness of a concrete highway. All the augmented knowledge and ex- perience gained in creating and refining the Continental bob-slide have been brought to bear upon design and con- struction of America’s introductory course and in it find virtually perfect embodi- ~ ment. Through the enterprise of Dr. Godfrey Dewey, president of the III Olympic Winter Games Committee and winter sports protagonist in the United States, Stanislaus Zentzytzki, Europe’s foremost bob-run engineer, was induced to come here to lay out the Lake Placid course. Funds were provided by an appropria- tion of $125.000 placed at the disposal of the New York State Olympic Winter Games Commission when the Legislature created that body last April to cooperate with the Committee in making an un- precedented success of the 1932 world (Continued on page 143) to HEALT By BERTRAM D. CROPP An interesting story by the inventor of ‘The Stretch of Health’’ Couch, illus- trating why 42,000 of these couches have already been sold, 6,000 of them to physicians. arta years ago I was Physical Director in a state university in the West. I was in charge of the track and football teams and my job was to keep these chaps in the pink of condition at all times. At this time I began to experiment with the device since known as “The Stretch of Health’’ Couch. Little did I realize at that time, however, that perfecting this device and introducing it to others would become my life-work—and that 42,000 of these couches would be bought with 6,000 purchased by physicians alone. All of us have seen how a dog or cat in our own homes or a lion in the zoo will stretch itself thoroughly upon arising. But few of us realize fully how, in the case of human beings, truly amaz- ing physical benefits can be obtained by me- chanical stretching—Tension Therapy. People who wish to know what the “Stretch of Health’’ Couch has done for people suffering from Stomach Trouble, Constipation, Colds, Headaches, Poor Circulation, Sciatica, Lack of Energy, Pa- ralysis, Nervous Prostration, Uterine Trouble, Poor Eyesight, Rheumatism, Deafness, Neuritis and all sorts of spinal dislocations, will be intensely interested in reading the many letters from laymen to ‘set.’’ and physicians reproduced in the booklet I am prepared t>» send without obligation upon receipt — of the coupon below. The experiences related illustrate the words of a professor of a New York _ university—‘“‘An examination of the spine will disclose the cause of 95% of all diseases.”” As you go through life—doing your daily duties, walking, standing or sitting—you allow your frame. The cartilages, which are the cushions or pads between your bones, spread and become thin. You want to ease up on them—give thema - chance to be real cushions again—take the pressure off—in other words STRETCH them to normal. When you scientifically stretch—first the frame- work and then the cartilages of the spine—you open the spinal windows. You give the nerve branches and the arteries which exit through them, free passage. You waken up the spinal cord, the trunk line of the nerve current of the body. You _ stretch every muscle, ligament, sinew of the body, draw the contractions out of them, break up con- gested areas, which interfere with circulation. ‘hen you loosen up the ribs—give the trunk free- dom. You draw sagging organs into natural position and the body into proper posture. My FREE BOOKLET I would like to tell you more about some ot the things which users of my ‘Stretch of Health’’ Couch have reported—amazing examples of Height Increase, relief of long-standing conditions, and general physical revitalizing. In fact my experi- ence in the sale of 42,000 couches has been so con- vincing that I prefer to accept orders on the basis of allowing the couch to demonstrate personal benefits within the first ten days or there is to be no cost to the purchaser. I’m sure you will be interested in reading about what others say ‘‘The Stretch of Health’’ Couch has done for them and to judge for yourself what it may do for you.

So that the mi- nute improvements which actual use in- evitably suggests may be perfected be- fore the Games and the run officially approved by the I.B.T.F., it has been made ready for this season, and’on Feb- ruary 6th, of this year bob-sled teams, racing under the auspices of the New York State Olympic committee and the Snowbirds of the Lake Placid Club, will compete for the Joseph B. Maccabe Memorial Trophy, a $500.00 cup. Although it is situated on private property, donated when statutory com- plications rendered proffered State land unavailable, the Commission is to main- tain the run in perpetuity as a public convenience. of Mount Van Hoevenberg, rising 2,960 feet to the east of Lake Placid, and is an easy fifteen minutes from the new stadium and the arduous 60-meter Intervales ski-jump where the other Olympic events are to be contested. | FROM the highway, a broad access road leads off a mile rightward to the run’s sawdusted finish area, bald among snow-bowed evergreens lying thick along the foot of the slope. Here, the impatient Olympic bob-team, first hitching its sled behind others tethered to the back, will board a tractor charabane which conveys them expeditiously up the return road to the start of the run some distance below the summit of the mountain. Through the trees, during the ascent, comes an occasional glimpse of the high, ermine shoulders of banked turns on the nearby run and of the race jury’s crow’s- nest atop a scaffold at that point from which the greatest length of the full course may be observed. At the top, the return road debouches upon a cleared starting area, alive with multi-hued teams at final inspections and finishing touches to their already well- prinked sleds. A bugle announces the imminent de- parture of each sled, drawn up in start- ing order behind the line. Competition in this international test of daring and courage is in four heats or descents, the lowest aggregate time to determine the victor. If yesterday they were first to run, today the team is last so as to equalize disadvantages of change in the track’s condition wrought by the sun’s rays and the passage of previous sleds. The bobs are flagged away by a starter in telephonic communication with each hazardous turn and with the _ finish. He does not count his authoritative **5-4-3-2-1—Go!”’ until final word that the preceding bob is safely through, that the curves are undamaged, that the run is clear. If the standing start is in use, the bob is brought up nose to the line with only the helmsman and No. 2 aboard; if it is the flying start, to a designated point back of the line. With the signal, No. 3 and the brakeman, hands on shoul- ders of the team-mate in front of them, start forward at a run and give the sled an initial impetus up to the last notch which still permits them to leap into their seats—and off they go. ‘Bob!’ orders the steerman. “One— two—Bob!” counts the brakeman in The site is the north face quickening rhythm as all but the captain . comply, backward and forward. with perfect cadence. Thus accelerated, they fly down the steep, unbent pitch to West- ward which ends in the righthand first of the run’s major curves, already nick- named “‘Shady Corner.”’ As “Shady Corner’ rushes toward him, the helmsman bears to the left side of the run. He’s been ’round this baby before and he knows that it is best overcome by early mounting. But his speed is a mite too great. It could cata- pult him straight up the bank and over. Probably he will cry ‘“‘Brake!’—and “Off!” when the pace has slightly abated. On they come, a bright comet tailed with feathery snow. Up, half-way up toward the forbidding brink the singing runners mount, to poise a moment in obeisance to centrifugal pull. Then down they sweep, gradually at first, now in a steep glide which carries them back to the inner line and away squarely into the straightaway beyond. Now doubled back in direction, the bob quickly traverses a long stretch to eastward, punctuated with agreeable bends, to the second major curve. This wheels it around leftward, not quite directly down the mountain slope, onto a long level which brings up promptly in the most breath-catching of turns, a loftily banked hairpin. On the other side of the hairpin, the bob lines out at express train speed and with gentle meanderings toward a stir- SNe . 7 “Brake!—Off!’ Early and high he darts into the left-hand first cusp of the *S.” Sooner off the bank of this section and back to the inside, the greater the time and distance to prepare for the reverse half into which it twists. Ideal speed, perfect team-work—and through the near half they shoot, to level off for a fraction, then pitch and swing up the other way and whip around onto the final easy reach to the finish line. N its icy flight, at from 40 to 65 miles an hour, the bob will have taken eigh- teen turns in all and traversed 7,720 feet; just short of a mile and a-half. Time? About two minutes, perhaps less, as shown by the electric chronometer, split- ting seconds into hundredths, whose start and finish tapes’ the runners tripped. Bob experts consider the Lake Placid run of length and curvature ideal both for the test of prowess and pluck and initiative which the racing pilot demands and for the fun, stimulation and safety which the pleasure-sledder seeks. These superior attractions of the Lake Placid run hold forth two specific promises: that America will be most favorably introduced to bob-sledding as a popular pastime and that there will be record-breaking bob entries for the 1932 Olympics (the 25 teams of 14 nations at St. Moritz in 1928 represented the great- est proportionate increase over contes- tants in any sport at Chamonix four years before). And will America fall for the bob? She should. Certainly it has just the recreational “it”? to captivate us, no- toriously weak as we are for speeds that ‘chill and sports that thrill. $$ $$$ nn ED MANAGE . m A Tea Room or : \ a2 Restaurant {== , terias, Restaurants, and Motor Inns will be opened this year.

Sherwin Cody’s remarkable invention has enabled More than 70,000 people to correct their mistakes in English. Only 15 minutes a day required to Aapreve your speech and writing | ANY persons say “Did you - hear from him today?” They should say “Have you heard from him today?’’ Some spell cal- endar “calender” or ‘‘calander.” Still others say “‘between you and YT” instead of “between you and me.”’ It is astonishing how often ‘“‘who’”’ “‘whom,”’ frequently the simplest words are mispronounced. Few know whether to spell certain words with one or two Paget Gr OS -Or t's, or with “ie’”’ or “ Fs ei,” and when to use commas in order to make their. meaning absolutely clear. ‘persons use only common words— Most colorless, flat, ordinary. Their speech and their letters are lifeless, monot- onous, -humdrum. Why Most Persons Make Mistakes What is the reason so many of us are deficient in the use of English and find our careers. stunted in conse- quence? ~ -spell correctly and others can not punctuate?) Why do so many find themselves at a loss for words to ex- press their meaning adequately? The | reason for the deficiency is clear. Sherwin Cody discovered it in scien- - tific tests, which he gave thousands © of times. Most persons do not write and speak good English simply be- cause they never formed the habit of ~~ doing - so. What Cody Did at Gary The formation of any habit comes only rom. constant practice. * ’ Shakespeare, you may be sure, never aticied rules. No one who writes and speaks correctly thinks of rules when he is doing so. Here is ovr mother-tongue, a language that has built up our civilization, and with- '- out which we should all still be muttering savages! Yet our schools, by wrong methods, have made it a study to be avoided —the hardest of tasks-instead of the most fascinating of games. For years it has been “a crying disgrace. In that point lies the real difference be- tween Sherwin Cody and the _ schools! Here is an illustration: Some years ago Mr. Cody was invited by William Wirt, author of the famous Gary System of Education, to teach English to all upper- -grade pupils in Gary, Indiana. By means of unique prac- tice exercises, Mr. Cody secured more im-. provement in these pupils in five weeks _.. than had been previously obtained by and how Why is it some can not | method is habit-forming. Sherwin Cody similar pupils in two years under old methods. There was no guesswork about these results. They were proved by scien- tific’ comparisons. Amazing as this im- provement was, more interesting still was the fact that the children were “wild” about the study. It was like playing a game! 100%. Self-Correcting~ Device ~The basic principle of Mr. Cody’s new Any one can learn to write and speak correctly by con- stantly using the correct forms. But how is one to know in each case what is correct? Mr. Cody solves this problem in a simple, unique, sensible way. Suppose he himself were standing forever at..your elbow. Every time you mis- pronounced or misspelled a word, every time you violated correct grammatical usage, every time you used the wrong word to express what you meant, suppose you could hear him whisper: “That is wrong, it should be thus and so.”’ In a short time you would habitually use the correct form and the right words in speaking and writing. | If you continued to make the same mis- takes over and over again, each time patiently he would tell you what was right. He would, as it were, be an everlasting mentor beside you—a mentor who would not laugh at you, who would, on the con- trary, support and help you. The 100% Self-Correcting Device does exactly. this thing. It is Mr. Cody’s silent voice behind you, ready to speak out whenever you commit an error. It finds your mistakes and. concentrates on them. You do not need to learn anything you already know. There are no rules to memorize. Only 15 Minutes a Day Nor is there very much to learn. In Mr. Cody’ S years: of » touareg wg brougee S to light some highly “astonishing facts about English. For instance, statistics show that a list of sixty-nine words (with their repetitions) make up more than half of all our. speech and letter writing. Obviously, if one could learn to spell, use, and pronounce these words correctly, one would go far toward eliminating incorrect spelling ~ and _ fro- nunciation. Similarly, Mr. Cody proved that there were no more than one dozen fundamental principles of punctuation. If we mastered these principles there would be no bugbear of punctuation to handicap-us in our writing. Finally, he discovered that twenty-five typical errors in grammar constitute nine- tenths of our everyday mistakes. When one has learned to avoid these twenty-five pitfalls, how readily one can obtain that facility of speech which denotes the person of breeding and education! When the study of English is made so simple, it becomes clear that progress can be made in a very short time. No more than fifteen minutes a day are required. Fifteen minutes, not of study, but of. fascinating practice! Mr. Cody’s students do their work in any spare moment they can snatch. They do it riding to work or at home. They take fifteen minutes from the time usually spent in profitless reading or amusement. The results really are phenomenal.
