SLENDER WAIST SECRET.

Gymnasium Work Improves Figures
Of Girls at Michigan University.
The makers of stays may as well go
out Of business, says a special dispatch
from Ann Arbor, Mich, to the New
york World. The secret Of slender
waist Is discovered, and the corset has
nothing TO do with It. The gyms the
thing to make willowy the feminine
form. All you have to do is to train
as the girls now do at the University
of Michigan and the waist grows small
er without squeezing.
The thing has been proved. Fresh
men girls are compelled to do gymna-
sum work Their measurements are
taken upon entrance. and at this time
Of the year they are measured, the iig-
ures going upon the original chart SIX
charts taken at random show 4 de-
crease in measurements Of waist, hips,
biceps. thighs and calves, with a con
siderable increase In shoulders, reach,
chest lung capacity and strength. One
girls waist has decreased an inch,
while her shoulders have br0adened
half an inch. Dr. Alice Snyder, direct.
or Of the gymnasium. explains the mat
ter thus:
saThe changes are due to systematic
training. we teach the girls the more
correct position in standing. and the
exercise with the dumb bells and
wanas broadens the shoulders. The
flesh becomes frmer, and In fact there

FOREST FIRE PROBLEM

Are some OF the Points nelng In

Enormous.
In view Of the recent forest fires that
have been raging in Maine, Vermont,
New Hampshire, New York and Can
ada, the following article about the
forest Gre problem is Of timely inter
est.
Last year within two weeks over
$4,000. 900 worth Of timber and other
property was destroyed BY forest fires
ia Oregon and Washington, says the
washington correspondent Of the New
York Commercial. This enormous loss
occurred upon a restricted area and
represents only a very small part of
the annual loss from this source,
Every timbered region Of the United
States suffers year after year from fire.
The annual loss is estimated at from
sos. 600, 900 to $4,000, 900. Forest fires
have been regarded as almost inevita-
bic. and few systematic attempts have
been made to prevent or control them
except in the states Of New York,
pennsylvania and Minnesota, which
have efficient systems Of fire protec-
| ton.
The bureau Of forestry OF the United
states department Of agriculture has
this year undertaken a thorough study
Of the forest fire problem in several
different regions. 1t has placed men
/ IN forest districts to study fires while
ii the process OF burning. Instead Of
waiting until the fires are over and
! relying for information on local re-
ports, as has been done heretofore
| The fires are now being observed by
the bureaus agents, and full data will
be obtained as to how they were
caused. how fast they burn, what con
ditions favor OK hinder them and just
/ what damage they do to the soil and
4 to tree growth.
y Each agent Of the bureau has heei
assigned To district and is inyestigat
/ ing all fires that occur within bis terri
tory. For example, one man studies
lumber tract. another farming dis
triet. a third d turpentine orchard, etc
In connection with this detailet
study the agents viii observe thl
methods Of fire protection practiced b!
| railroads and other owners of timbe
lands. The fire warden systems Of tn
states which have forest fire laws ans
the patrol system In use on the fedora
forest reserves viii also be observed
closely
By such methods the bureau Of for
estr.y hopes to replace with carefully
gathered facts the vague general no
lions that now exist about forest tires
When the problem is solved for an.
particular region the bureau win p
ready to recommend methods Of fir
prevention and control for the privat
landowner and 70 suggest forest tir
legis j tion for the various states.

APLEAsING PROSPECT.

Mir. Bryan in the Comrnoner says that being only 4s with possibility of 40 years more of life before him, including ten Presidential campaigns. he should not be compelled to be "a mute ob- server of proceedings, but should have a chance to take every advantage he can of the opportunities of these ten Presidential campaigns he hopes to have a part in.
 Certainly. This is a free country. Of course there are people who would like to see Mir. Bryan "a mute observer" :" but they don't expect to. They know that he can talk and that he is likely to continue to talk, and they know that there is no way they can make him mute Perhaps something will happen to make him mute. He may die, and he may in time get so disgusted that he wont feel like talking. But if he lives and if his hope and interest live it is a pleasing prospect that he holds out. Forty years more of Brother Bryan will be just about enough.
