How to Be Beautiful
By MARaAREr HUBBARD AVER.


A read err Of this paper writes me that
she wants to grow very tall and would
like a few rules to go by. She does not
state her age, which makes quite differ
ence. for while you can pull the young
twig a bit you can't alter the shape OF the
old branch or change the grown tree
Twenty-one used to be the age when
men and women were supposed to get
their growth, but 1t is an individual mat
ter and many people attain their full de-
velopment before that and a few after it,
If my correspondent is still in her teens
there are various exercises which may
help her to grow taller and at all events
they will give her a very good carriage,
which gives the impression of height and
which Will improve the bodily poise of the
tall girl as well. First of all, be sure
you are breathing properly and see that
your clothing at all times is light enough
and loose enough so that 1t neither
cramps nor binders you in any way. Here
is the first exercise stand erect, weight
on both feet. hands hanging relaxed at
the sides. Now rotate the shoulders as
YOU would do IL your neck muscles were
uncomfortable. Rotate the arms inward,
but DO not bend forward. When your
shoulders and arm muscles feel relaxed
take deep breath and raise up on the
balls of the feet raising the arms at
the same time high over the head until
the yand the entire body are stretched
TO the utmost.
Feel as if you were stretching your
waist muscles. which is what you should
do You can repeat this exercise as
often as you like. inhallng as you stretch
and exhaling and relaxing Most small
people have very tense muscles, and all
exercises which combines relaxing and
stretching of the muscles are good. Work
in a gymnasium would be ideal, as II Is
more systematic than home work, and the
apparatus. especially the bars, afford
good opportunity for stretching and linz
bering the body.
An English growing machine was on
the market a few years ago which
stretched the cartilage, or was supposed
TO, but one had better do this work for
oneself as the violent mechanical pulling
and stretching OF the muscles is not last
ing in It's effect and may be harmful
Children and young people who want TO
grow tall should always sleep with their
bodies stretched out straight without pill
lows. They should be especially particu-
ular about having plenty of fresh air,
very simple food and no stimulants Of any
kind.
once a woman finds she Is to belong 10
the "shortes'' let her study the dress
question with care, for she can find all
kinds Of tricks OF the trade which will
add 20 her apparent height. such as long
lines fms ttfR al hfuh ha -
instead Of broad ones, V-shaped trim
ming instead OF round, etc.
As Il is now, the small woman Is fash
ionable, for the modes are made FOR
petite women and become her absolutely
at any age, while they look awkward
10 say the least, On the tall woman I'M
less worn with absolute taste and discre-

no. dear reader, you can't see why
good daughter shouldn't stop on her way
to work to match a skein OF worsted or
TO buy a yard or so OF ribbon for her
good mother, and you think I am doing
very wrong to hint that a really good
mother will show her working daughter
the same consideration she shows her
working son? l wonder why.
Who ever thinks of expecting son to
get away from the office early just to
match a bit OF silk for mother" and
who asks son to call up the dressmaker
for Sister Mary, or to drop into the
millners at noontime to see why Aunt
Sarah's hat hasn't come home yet?
Why not? Son has as much time and a
good deal more strength than Daughter;
why should he be completely exempt?
Can't do those things? Oh, yes he could
IL he wanted to- but he has sense enough
not to want TO, and not TO let any one,
even his own mother step between him
and his chance to compete with some one
who never matched anything In his life
and who doesn't intend to learn how to
! do It, either. That's one OF the reason 8
why Son gets bigger wages for the same
kind of work than Daughter.

Breeding Men
Ky DIR. G. STANLEY HALL,

work. declining birth rate in coun-
try is very ominous thing. The future
OF the world belongs 60 those races that
breed most and best. In western Europe
about one-auartor of the possible child
production Is lost. While the child NOR
tally Is far greater In the east, still the
production OF children there is so much
greater that the mortality Is overeompen-
stated for Europe, according TO these
signs, appears TO be doomed.
A great deal can be done for the good
OF the race by eek instruction. This
should bo part of the curriculum OF our
schools Fathers and mothers should eN-
plain 20 their children at least the ele-
mentary facts regarding sex. But there
appears TO DO too much OF the ultra con-
sentative In our makeup today. Too
much OF puritanism We fear that by
talking to tho youth OF our country in a
straightforward manner, explaining TO
them the things they ought TO know re-
garding the question OF sex, we will bo
intoxicating In their minds Information
which might have a tendency TO lead TO
so-called bad thoughts. This IL all
wrong. We should make Il our business
to see that our young men and women
are fully instructed for their own sakea
In these things. Our girls should be
taught the value OF propriety, and our
young men should be shown the dangers
OF wrong acts. This will not make for
immortality as some claim,
But at the same time that we are .r-
structing tho youth OF our country in
these things. let us instruct them also
In literature. In art. in music, In ath-
ietics A young man or woman whose
mind is taken up with the higher things
In life, and through whose veins courses
the red blood OF health. and in whose
cheeks Is the bloom OF the outdoors, will
have neither the time nor the inclination
TO put wrong construction on tho
things they are taught regarding sex.
Adolescence is the time when we store up
the great capital OF vital force and en-
ergy. Our lives afterward depend upon
how our early years arc utilized. We
can dissipate and lead unnatural lives,
and our posterlty will suffer. or we can
conduct ourselves with a view TO main
tanning health and higher mentality and
we hand down 20 our children and our
ohildren's children a heritage that is In
valuable. II is just like an Irrigation
problem. We can permit the rain TO run
off In the gullies and In the canyons, or
we can divert 1t to the arid places that
they may bear fruit. The greatest con-
tribution man can make TO posterity Is
healthy offspring.
Heredity will probably do the same FOR
man that Burbank IS doing for plant life,
and thus the man OF the future will be
more intelligent and stronger that we
who have gone before.

Man today knows how 10 breed cattle

The trend is to lay moro and more

We cannot hope to do much good with

and vlgor to fight the battles OF life, and
we owe It to our posterity that health and
all the better qualities shall be handed on
from one generation 10 the next. We are
often prone to pride ourselves ON our an

We should conduct our lives with view

Concluded from Last Week.
All right, let us make an exposure
IN the nice light dining room, with
its bright red rug, and bright red
wall paper-two seconds exposure
should be plenty. Well, what is the
matter; used same speed and same
stop, and the light was Just as good
as in that white room, and we have
bad under exposure. Could the
color of the rug and wall paper have
mad anything to do with it? You
guessed right. Anything red in col
or mas the power to absorb a great
portion of the light rays that would
nave any effect on your film-you
know your dark room lamp is fitted
with a ruby glass. With the white
walls you are aided by the light re-
nected back from their surfaces in
just about the same proportions as
your other exposure was lengthen-
ed by the. absorbing power of the
red walls and floor covering.
Now let us try two further expert
ments. We will take our subject
outside again, on the shady side of
the house, but where we cam obtain
direct illumination from the sky To
our eyes, this location would seem
to require a longer exposure than
the one in the room with the white
walls, but let us try an exposure of
lilo second. This develops up
about normal. Now as a final ex-
pertinent let us move our subject
up on the veranda, just far enough
back so that the direct light from
the sky cannot be utilized. The il
Elimination appears to be Just as
good here as the previous exposure,
put to be on the safe side let us
try two exposures, one of Ito sec
ond, the same as for our last out
door exposure, and one of 1-2 sec
ond; once more we are surprised, as
the lilo second exposure is very
much under exposed, and the one
half second could have been increas-
ed to one second without danger of
much overtiming.
