THEY WEIGH MORE
SuffragiStS Gain From / to s
Pounds on Trip.
MuIdOOn Praises "Hiking" as
the Proper Exercise.

! New York, Dec. 30.-The theory that
( walking reducing weight has been ex-
ploGed by the experience of the four
women sufragette pilgrims under Gen,
Rosalie E. Jones in their hike from
this city to Albany. Three pilgrims
rect result of their strenuous exercises.
Upon learning this fact today such
men as William Muldoon, James E.
Sullivan, president of the A. a. U.
and DR.. Luther Halsey Gulick, former
physical director of the New York pub
lie schools, remarked that it proved
the beneficial results of moderate ex-
ercise- They added that it would I'M
doubtedIy result in many women given
Up bridge playing and luncheonS for
the more healthy pastime of walking
THE right kind Of walking is the
best thing for women and also men, ="
said Mr.. MuIdoon- 1T builds them up
physically and mentally But there are
two kinds of walking; one that goes
under the title of severe exercise, and
that reduces the weight and often en-
dangers the health of the Individual
and the other moderate exercise that
adds TO the weight
"As an example of the two, women
whose exercise consists of moderate
walking, broken up by rests and pure
food and proper care of the body. OBJ
tain all of the three pounds nutrition
of the four pounds of foods she eats
in a day One who under or overdoes
the walking game gets but half that
nourishnent and consequently weak

Modern Conveniences Blamed.
Mr.. MuIdoon, in speaking of the dam
aging effects of modern conveniences,
such as automobiles and elevators in
buildings, said walking has practically
been abandoned by men with the re-
suit that they have lost their elastici-
ty and cleverness of their feet and
flop along like ducks"
1T is best thing in the world for
women" said President Sullivan i
don't believe in hardshlps, but the more
women take to moderate walking the
better it will be for them However,
would not advise any woman to walk
IS miles in a snow or rainstorEn, even
if they are doing it for principle.
The suffraist marchers gained
weight because they walked as they
pleased-slOwIy. stopping when they
would, resting. viewing the scenery
along the way and in every manner
enjoying the trip. Up to a certain point
Then it becomes hardship. Try for
speed and you lose weight All women
should take It up"
DR.. Gulick has practically the same
opinion.

Dr. GuIick, nothing but benefit VIII /

there is always the danger of excess"

Brought by Kansas City People
Against Street Railway.

Three suits have been filed in the
federal court against Ford Harvey
and r. J. Durham. receivers for the
Elevated Railway company and the
Metropolitan Street Railway company
of Kansas City, Mo. They are held
the brain, loss of limbs, and internal
injuries too numerous to mention
valued at $4,000.
The first case is brought by Adam
kaupp, who is suing for $500. and
alleges that on November II, 1912, he

east side of the stock yards. The con-
ductor stopped the car as requested,
but started before Kaupp had de-
scended- The man was dragged 600
feet, sustaining injuries that resulted
IN concussion of the brain, lacera-
lions all over his body and a broken
nose.
The second case is brought by chas.
E. Reardon, a fourteen-year-o boy
who was hurt last August, by a car
belonging to the receivers. The lad
was playing on the street, ran after
wagon, stopped, jumped to the side,
and was struck by a street car. The
car ran completely over him, severing
his leg above the knee. Blood poison
ing set in, neceSsitating an operation
which followed the amputation of his
limb. Like kaupp, the boy alleges in

ton She alleges that she received in
ternal injuries too numerous to men

ankle sprained.

BREATHING THEIR JOB
Eight Women Get 81 Per Day for
Doing 1t.

New York, Dec. 30.-A dollar day
just for blowing ones breath is being
paid at the laboratories of the college
of Physicians and Surgeons, to eight
women who started upon their unique
occupation today When a representa-
tive of the laboratory went to the
municipal lodging house to get recruits
for the work, he barely escaped being
locked up as fit for the psycholathic
ward.
He explained. however. that women
were wanted in connection with ex-
periments in sick room ventilation.
They were to breathe into sixteen ounce
bottles inlbedded in refrigerators, the
food particles being removed from the
breath during its passage through a
rubber tube.
The condensed vapor is to be chem
icaIly analysed and the doctors hope,
through their experiments to better
conditions of the atmosphere in sick
rooms.

WATCH HEART BEATS
Moving Pictures of PuIsations Carried
Across Continent.

st. Louis. Mo, Dec. 30.-Heart beats
may now be seen around the world.
The doctor in San Francisco would find
/ it possible to connect an charging Ian
tern with a New York wire and watch
the shadow picture of a patients heart
beat even if that patient We're in Bos-
ton.
Science has pictured the heart beat,
enlarged it, studied it, thrown the quiv-
ering shadow upon great white screen
and coldly analysed the changing pulsa-
tions.
Washington University's school of
medicine has installed an electrocardi-
ograph. 1t is being used at the present
time in the study and treatment of
diseases of the heart.
A painstaking German scientist
dreamed out the actual principles of the
instrument half a century ago. In
reality there were Two of them-Herr
KolIfker and Herr Mueller. With
Telescope they succeeded in detecting
the action currents of the heart of a
frog
The electrocardiograph is Of wires,
copper plates. electrodes, cameras, Ian
terms, compensators, keys, accumula-
and other technical apparatus of cleo
tricfty. It is moving picture machine
and one of the weirdest in the world.
Miles from the bedside of a dying man
you can watch the final fight of his
heart against death
1t IS now possible to receive tele-
cardiograms-the shadow records of
hearts beatings on long distance wires
and thrown upon screen by COM

about the place one day he dis
covered two eagles and two coy
otes in a fierce combat over the
carcass of a swine. Sneaking
upon them he watched the inter-
esting battle, and great was his
surprise to see one of the coyotes
run for liberty which he gained
while the other was killed by the
enraged birds. However, the
wing of one of them was broken
which gave Tom opportunity to
kill it. The bird measured about
seven feet from tip to tip.

$50 MARK IS
ASSURED
CLUB
Billy has been laying low Of

Billy has been laying low of
late.
Evidently realizing that post
ponement means probable rejec-
tion the sport loving fans are to-
day throwing their feet over their
heads in an effort to join the Ia
coma Athletic club. Gossip about
the first smoker has aroused them
and Harry Andrews spent the day
receiving applications. The num-
Der of applications to be consider
ed tomorrow so that notices may
be sent out before the initial
smoker Thursday night will prob
ably run up to the $50 mark.
A good many of the fans
thought they were going through
little conventional formula to
see a Marquis of Queensbury af-
fair and 1t has taken a deal of
explanation to convince them they
are joining strictly amateur Or
ganization. Careful investig cation
by the authoities has ELECTED the
| fact that there is nothing shady
about the club and that 1t Ia in no
manner an attempt to evade the
law. 1t is operating legitimately
and will continue to do so.
The youngsters who are going
to furnish the amusement are on
| tip toes for the events. They ap-
preciate keenly the fact that a
number of critical eyes are upon
them and that the display of their
ability must be clean and sports
manlike as BELTS all amateurs.
The club is in a fair way to
benefit hundreds Of young men in
Tacoma. By the promotion OF
boxing they will avoid bad habits
and irregular hours and confine
themselves to such exercise and
deportment as to greatly stimu-
late them physically and mentally.
