THIS BABY IS TO BE
A PERFECT WOMAN"
She Was Able TO Swim When Eight
Months Old and Walked at Ten.

To become the worlds most perfect
woman physically is the future map
ped out for Margaret Terry Hudson
Grant. two years and two months old.
BY her father. Richard Grant, director
pf track athletics of the University of
Minnesota. Ever since she was three
weeks old the baby has been training
for the place she is expected to fill.
Systematic exercise under the careful
supervision of her father who himself
was formerly track star at Yale and
who has made" many Minnesota ath-
letes, is az much part of little Mar
garet's daily life as the food she eats.
The little girl, who has just begun
to talk, delights in her exercises. The
more common of these include a wand
drill to strengthen and develop her
chest muscles; exercises on a horizontal
bar. consisting Of cane held In the
hand of her father, to which she can
hang for forty-five seconds, swinging
back and forth while holding to her IA
theirs finger. and reclining on the floor
and rising without touching her hands
to the floor.
The exercises have already had won
derful results. Some of the ways In
which Margaret differs from other two
year-olds nre these: Every part of her
body is perfectly formed. She has n
normal chest measurement of nineteen
inches and an expansion of nearly two
inches. Her biceps muscles measure
five inches. She could walk when she
was ten months old She could swim
when she was eight months old. She
weighs twenty eight pounds without
an ounce Of fat on her little body. She
can walk up three flights of stairs and
back without stopping.

Leads In Consumption and Production,
Say Belsians.
Uncle Sam Is the champion beer
drinker of the world. At least he pro
duces more than any other country, ac-
cording to statistics sent to the depart
ment Of state by Alexander Heingart-
ner, American consul at Liege, Belgi-
um. The statistics set forth that the
worlds production of beer in 1910 was
S,003, 754,765 gallons. 1t is estimated
that at least 1925 100000 gallons were
consumed.
Basing his statements on these statis-
tics, Mr.. Heingartner says:
'"The United States occupied first
place among the beer producing coun-
tries OF the world, with an output OF
/ 9O3,010,317 gallons. Germany was
second, with 1,7O3 666, AGO gallons man
ufactured by 1886 breweries, 4,7S3

ain, with 1,479, 352 ,2S0 gallons, ranked
third, and Austria Hungary was fourth.
1.-The manufacture Of beer is an impor-
tant industry in Belgium, there being
1000 breweries in operation, and this
country stood fifth as to production in
1910. with 422, ,672, $50 gallons, closely
followed by France, with 17,3SS,S70
gallons. Russla's output in 1910 was
232. 100000 gallons, Next in order Of
Importance, but with much smaller
quantities, came Denmark, Switzerland

NEW PARCELS POST STAMPS.
Larger Than Ordinary Issues and Of
Characteristic Designs.

Characteristic Designs.
When the new parcels post system
becomes operative on Jan. / twelve
new stamps will be placed on sale in
postoffices for affixing to packages.
These stamps will be larger than the
ordinary postage stamps. Arrange
ments already made by Postmaster
General Hitchcock for their engra wing
and manufacture provide for series
of an even dozen so distinctive as to
color and size rs to prevent possible
confusion with other stamps.
The twelve stamps will be issued in
three series Of designs. In the first
series modern methods of transport
ing mail will be illustrated. The mail
on one stamp, an ocean steamer on an
other, the third will have a motor
wagon OF the type used in the postal
service, and the fourth will show a
mail carrying aeroplane. Postal en-
ployees viii be shown at work in the
second series. The figures will be
those of railway mail clerks, postoffice
clerks, city letter carriers and rural
free delivery carriers. The third Sc
ries will represent four industrial
zones, showing the principal sources
Of products that will be transported
most extensively by parcels post.
By Dec. the stamps will probably
be ready for distribution to the 10000
postoffices in the country.

Jetty Would Divert Meeting.

Mr.. Riker declares that the jetty
would divert this meeting at great
depths to the eastward Of the Grand
bnnk and by the time the Labrador
current was running there 1t would be
taking n course with its heavy saline
cold a mile below the surface, permit
ting the warmer, lighter and less sa-
line gulf stream to sweep above 1t, car
rying a message of warmth and sun
light and fertility to the snowbound,
ice clad acres of the polar circle.
Even after its destructive conflict on
the Grand bank with the Labrador cur
rent the gulf stream now survives and
rolls onward, giving to the British Isles
and northern Europe the warmth with
out which Scandinavia would be unin-
habitable and England as sterile as
Labrador.
No more icebergs in the steamship
lanes, no more of such fogs as now pre-
vail about the meeting of the cold and
warm currents, storms reduced TO
minimum, and the whole Of eastern
North America a garden Of paradise
with no great cold or heat are seme Of
the results Mr.. Riker foresees from
building the jetty. Cape Hatteras, he
believes, would disappear through the
increased speed Of the gulf stream.
which he estimates would flow closer
to the Jersey coast and incidentally re-
deposit along the coast about 100000
acres of land.
The melting Of the arctic ice cap, he
estimates, would shift the equalizing
balance Of the globe, and the then pre-
ponderating weight Of the antarctic ice
cap would make what is now the north
pole point shift toward northern Eu-
rope, with the result Of producing
nightess summer in the area Of Scot
land without dayless winter.
