! which nation is the finest in physique.
During my twenty-six years expert
ence | have examined and measured
some hundreds of thousands OF both
sexes and OF all classes. | am bound
10 admit that the average physical
standard of the British race is decreas-
/ ing I'm both height and general ply
sique. while. TO my knowledge, with
one other nation--thc American--it is
increasing. The reason for this differ
ence is not far To seek. In America
those responsible for the welfare OF
that nation have fully recognized that
the overcrowding of cities, the increas-
ed hustle and hustle for exercise. mus,
eventually mean the physical degener-
alton OF the race if something is not
lone TO give the only true antidote-
systematic physical exercise. Toward
this end municipal authorities OF all
the larger cities have installed a plen-
tiful supply OF gymnasia. For in
stance in my last visit to the states.
six years ago, | found that Boston
(about the size of our LIVERPOOL had
no fewer than six fully equipped ply
steal training schools, each far larger
than England's largest (army, Alder
shot and. above all, the cost OF tuition
is practically nil-they are state aided
and they are always full. The feeders
of these schools are the public elcmen-
tary schools. where physical exercise
is compulsory-and often. The result
of about ten years of this state effort
TO stem the tide OF degeneration Is
now being felt and seen. In another
twenty-five years | unhesitatingly say
that America will be the finest race.
There is one most important factor
in the state-aided scheme-the physi-
cal director. or teacher. Is looked up |
on as a high class professional and is |
paid a high-class salary accordingly. |
As a matter OF fact. the physical cul- |
ture teacher is on the same plane as n |
medical man; many of them hold med
zeal degrees, consequently the physical
welfare of the nations Is in the hands
of competent experts.
THE same conditions exist in Swe-
dent-hence the Swede's perfect ply /
sique. which was SO marked at our
Olympic gathering.

ferent physical training in our ele-
mentary schools (public schools almost |

COST OF THE LAWRENCE STRIKE

Nv Half is Waue Loss.

Boston. March iS.-By the time the
last /. w. w leader has left Lawrence
and the final rccalcitrants have return
cd TO work and the looms and spindles
OF the crippled mills arc again whir-
ring, IL is safe 10 say that the total
direct financial loss will foot up nj
least $4,000. 900.
II the strike is settled this week the
loss to the operatives from the two
months respite" from labor will be
close To s1.500.O 900, about 100000 of
which falls upon American Wooden
employees. This Is based upon a weekly
wage of s125,OO0 at the American
Wooden mills and $4,000 for the in
dependents. and 20 per cent capacity
operations at the former and so per
cent to so per cent at the latter.
Then there Is the big loss to the
mills emselves-eventually $1,000, 900
doubtedly-through the disruption
and I'm many instances utter loss of the
splendid business booked in the late
autumn revival. Some of the big mills.
notably the Wool Worsted, were sold
up for the season. Arlington had the
best outlook I'm two years. OF course
on business on hand the loss probably
will not be over 100000. but tho diver
sion Of the big duplicate orders to
such centers as Woonsockct and Pas

The Lawrence mills do yearly bust
ness OF some $70.00O.OOO and probably
310.000.0OO of this has been turned
away.
Some of this business may be re-
gained and 1t is this likelihood that

Of Situation.


IA. h. Rowland. well known Du'utt
mining man. who has been in the east
for several months. has arrived home
He was president OF the Live oak De.
vclopment company one more of IN,
Duluth mining promoters TO make
good. and which was consolidated with
Inspiration Copper company under the
name of Inspiration Consolidated Cop-
per company, and of which he Is d.
rector. The directorate OF this com
pany is one OF the most representative
of any in the copper Industry. Mr.
Rowland discussed the copper metal
situation briefly as follows
The copper metal situation is very
strong. The demand is persistent
and prices firm. with an upward ten
dency. The feeling and belief prevails
among the metal interests that the use
Of copper is steadily expanding. and
viii continue at present or somewhat
higher prices for the next severed
years.
1T is conceded generally that the
copper business is IN better shape
now than any other large .nduitr,.
IN the country, There is but one
months supply Of metal in the world
at the present time. which is very
moderate king balance as compar
ed with the supplies carried by other
industries.
The feeling IN New York Is to
the general business OF the country /
Is optimistic and It is expected that |

But these losses are as drops I'm the
bucket compared with the train OF
events set in motion by the Lawrence
disturbance. II has forced the Law
renee mills 10 make concessions al
present aggregating at least $4,000 a
week, or over $l,l00,000 a year. The
sympathetic advances required i'm the
other thirty-one American Wooden
mills means net addition TO the com.
pany's costs OF practically similar
sum, Sl,l00.000. Now, as the Law
renee wooden mills just about set the
wage pace for those OF the country,
there will soon be at least 3 per
cent addition to the $4,000 WOODEN mill
wage of this country-or $4,000. 600.
Finally the advances I'm the Law
renee cotton mills. dictated by the
wooden mill concessions, have toppled
the other New England cotton mills
like tenpins. Many New England mills
have voluntarily announced wage adj
vances averaging per cent. and be-
fore the movement is through. sooner
or later, practically every cotton mill
in New England will be affected. and
the weekly advances will aggregate
over 100000 or $5.0OO.OOO yearly
The interesting factor in the whole
labor readJustment precipitated by the
Lawrence ructions is that the increas-
ed costs will come out of the consum-
en-. The mills will, of course, mark up
prices TO where they can again get out
even. and the ultimate consumer must
pay the increased charges.
