THE POTOMAC ARCHERs.
The Season Of 1891 Opened-Preparation
for the National Meet

The Season Of 1891 Opened-Preparation
for the National Meet.
The cold, blustery weather Of the past few
weeks has delayed the opening Of the archery
season in this locality. A few Potomacs had
previously ventured down to the arsenal, but
May / saw the first regular meeting of the
club. Since then the bowmen have shot reeu-
larly each Wednesday and Friday. Officers for
the year have been elected as follows: Presi-
dent. D. F. MCGOWAN; vice president, Mrs. W.
A. Bartlett; secretary, 8. C. Ford; treasurer,
Miss M. L. Williams. Several new members
were elected at the meeting Friday evening
and the club starts its season with fair pros
poets. Especial attention is paid to the begin
ners, as it is desired to get as many as possible
in good form prior to the meeting of the ma
tional association. The present outlook is that
this will be held at the Natural Bridge in
the latter part of August next. Since
1887, when the national meet was held
in this city, all meetings of the large association
have been in the neighborhood of Cincinnati.
The distance has barred most of the eastern
archers from the contest, SO it is proposed to
hold the next tournament at an intermediate
point and gather the followers of bold Robin
Hood from both sections. The western clubs

our local archers may sustain their past fair
reputation in any contests they may engage in

TALKING TO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS.
a Michigan Doctor Makes Some Remarks
About Tight Lacing.

a Michigan Doctor Makes Some Remarks
About Tight Lacing.
DR.. J. C. Kellogg Of Battle Creek, Mich,
spoke at the High School yesterday to the girls
Of the school
He opened his remarks BY announcing that
he was going to say some very unpleasant
things about young ladies' Notwithstanding
their good-looking faces, he said, most Of them
are crippled and deformed.
The doctor has devoted fifteen years to the
study Of the human figure. He has made meas
urements Of the Mexicans, Of italian, German
and French peasants and compared the size
OF their waists with those Of American girls
and has come to the conclusion that the aver
age American woman is deformed, that her
waist 10 too small for her body. He had COM
pared the waist measurement with the height
and ~ . result of 200 measurements found
that the average waist measurement Is only SO
per cent Of the height. The average waist
Of the American woman IL 24.6 inches.
The waist of the Venus de Milo il Al per cent
Of the height With such . waist as that .
woman could draw q good big breath.
The waist of q woman, he said, ought to be
larger than Q mans, because her liver il larger.
He said "a smaller heart but q larger liver"
but not pleasing the young ladies by this re-
mark, he added: 'Only in quantity; in quality
IL Is otherwise
Inc DOCTOR eolQ tnat tnOSe organs WHICH
should be above the waist line are SO pressed
down by tight clothing as to make women de-
formed.
He called particular attention to the fact that
although woman doubled in weight the meas
urement of her waist didn't increase at all.
While in Washington the last few days Dr..
Kellogg has measured the waists of twelve lit
tie girls in private school and found the small
est waist was Is inches. The average was "a
inches; one was 253s inches and one 261S inches,
and those waists, he said, ssill become smaller
a. the girls grow older.
These restrictions Of the waist cause many
other determines. such as hollow chests, droop-
ing and round shoulders.
DR.. Kellogg did not see any reason why
women shouldn't be as strong as men. The
doctor spoke of the Swiss women who carry
heavy burdens on their shoulders up and down
bills, and said that they are among the health
lest women Of the world.
He showed by diagrams that the same evils
occasioned in women by tight clothes we're to
