switched it to the highest speed, and
away she went. He headed for the
open country where he managed to
circle around and head the thing
back into town. Passing a chauffeur
he shouted to him to station himself
on steep hill up which a street ran.
The joy rider managed TO circle

checked the speed sufficiently to per
nit the chauffeur boarding her which
he did and by the gentle turn of a
crank brought the runaway auto TO "A

MAN IS STRONGEST Al 3I
Expert Maintains That This tcmc
 May Be Advanced.

In the matter of strength, man s piration of his thirty-first year" said Ramon Serves. a physical training instructor, of Bremen, Germany, to q Washington Herald reporter.
 The muscles of the human body, according to all authorities have their periods of development and de- cl;Ee. Our physical strength increas- es up to a certain age and decreases thereafter. Strength statistics show that the lifting power of a youth of 17 is 2S0 pounds. In his twentieth year it increasest to 320 pounds At the expiration of the thirty-first year the strength begins to decline very gradually at first. By the time 40 years has been reached it has de creased eight pounds and diminuton continues at a slightly increasing rate until the fiftieth year is reached when the lifting power averages 330 pounds Subsequent to this period the strength falls more and more rapidly until the weakness of old age is reached.
 There is no reason, in my opin- ion, why the greatest strength should not be maintained until after man has reached 45 or 50 years of age. The trouble is that we have been liv- ing at too rapid a pace. The aver age life of man, instead of threescore and ten, should be 100 years. Our youths are dissipating too much and our young men neglect their physical condition in their struggle to get on it the business world, while our mid dle age and older men are leading too strenuous life mentally. We pay too little attention to our phy- sical welfare and the result is we are decreasing instead of increasing the average length of life.'
