SLAP Wife To AID
HER CONF LEXICON
Here's Real News That Will
GLADDEN. Many a Mans
Faint Heart.

Los ANGELES, May 1s-Here is
something more about the American
woman from a foreign savant:
Her complexion needs more life"
her lungs more capacity, her ankles are
too spindling" and her feet too
podgy."
These observations have been made
by Dr. Ludwig VonFerre, formerly of
the University of Copenhagen and soon
to head the physiology department Of
the University of Paris. Dr. von-
t'erre is a the Hotel Hayward and not
only discussed from the expert physi-
ologist's standpoint the flaws in Ameri-
can femininity as enumerated, but told
what to do about them. as follows:
For the complexion, indulge in slap
ping exercises
For the CONSTRUCTED lung capacity,
whistle and sing.
For the "spindling" ankles and
podgy" feet, run
Slap Her Hard.
The improvements which the Amer
lean women most need, said the scien-
fist yesterday are in the complexion,
the lungs and the feet and ankles Their
compilations need more life, their lungs
more capacity-for thus the voice be-
comes more beautiful-and the feet and
ankles need Strengthening OF course.
these are only some of the necessary
points which will lead to perfection, but
they are the most important ones
when I say slap for the complexion

is too mechanical. Women should have
slapping matches. just as men have
boxing matches few good slaps in
the face and a woman's whole system
will Jingle. The effect upon her cheeks
win soon become permanent In a
slapping contest women will he called
upon to utilize almost every muscle in
their bodies
Run-and Really Run.
Another important thing is running
Perhaps it has never occurred to Amer
lean women, but after they reach the
age Of, say. eighteen. they seldom, II
ever, indulge in running Have you
ever noticed a dog which has been con-
| fined 50 that it has had no opportunity
of running? 1t stalks along with the
most ungainly walk you ever saw. And
so it is with women in that certain
combination Of muscles is never
| brought into play Therefore, they stalk
instead Of walking gracefully.
Then, the American woman's ankles
are altogether too weak and spindling.
with foot that is often podgy. The
ankle supports the whole body and
should be strengthened at every con-
ceivabe opportunity. Notice an ath-
etic girl-how wen she deports her
self and with what ease she walks
along Every muscle has been equally
developed so that she can use one nat
urally at a moments notice.
Whiste-and Whistle Often
"As far as whstling is concerned, it
has, of course. been advocated for many
years as a good method of developing
the lungs 1t is not as good as singing,
but there are many who can not sing or
who have comparatively few opportu-
mites to do so A woman can whistle
many times during days work The
more she develops her lungs the great
er control she has of her voice and thus
she can more easily speak softly All
of the operate VoCalists have low
sweet voices and assuredly their lungs
are good
Exercises should be adapted to GER
tain conditions and these exercises are
most admirably adapted to the Ameri-
can woman in almost every sphere"
