Do You Know

There has been such a decline of
recent years in the marriage rate of
Trieste that one Of the civic digni-
taries suggests the institution of a
system of compulsory matrimony.
It is proposed that on a given date
in each year all spinsters who have
attained their twenty fifth year and
bachelors who have attained their
thirtieth should be required to pre-
sent themselves before the syndic in
whose jurisdiction they reside. The
names of those who on medical ex-
animation prove to be thoroughly
sound would be sorted according to
sex, placed in separate urns, and
then drawn two at a time. The cou-
plies whose names are drawn to-
gether would, at the conclusion of
the draw, be united forthwith by the
syndic.

TVERYONE agrees that for
the art of sculpture we can
not exceed the ancients. To
me it seems that the Greeks
had beautiful sculptured figures
because they had wonderful
models, and had wonderful mod
els because they had a deep ven
Grafton for the almost divine
beauty of the human form. And
so out of this circle of perfec-
ton they chiseled glorious fig
ures that we Of to-day may use
as models for the Identification
of our own bodies.
To-day ! am showing you three
figures, and | shall dwell at
length on them and what we may
hope to acquire from practice
of the poses they portray. Let
us make a slight study of the
expression of countenance and
body For unless the face and
body are attuned in the express
sion of mood, there will be I'M
graceful uncertainty as a result.
The First Figure.
The first figure on top might
stand for a number of ideas-in-
jured innocence is the most
dramatic idea that it suggests
To me it simply is a harmonious
ly simple pose, in which body
and face express quiet dignity.
Try it yourself-for it looks very
easy to take a pose like this.
But to stand poised firmly and
gracefully on one foot, with the
whole body balanced, ready to
spring into motion and life and
still at rest, is quite feat. The
ability to stand gracefully is rare
for people generally balance
on heels or toes, or sag awk-
wardly on one hip.
Let me suggest an exercise for
the acquisition of ability to stand
gracefully Balance the weight
on the ball of the right foot, let
the right arm hang easily at the
side. Sway the body slightly to
the left and raise the left arm to
the chest, at the same time rising
on the toes Of the left foot until
the weight is all balanced on the
right foot. Then sway the weight
gradually to the left foot, rising
on the right toe and lifting the
right arm to the chest. Simply
sway from foot to foot in exactly
the posture that figure one shows
you.

CONDUCTING INQUIRY
into COST OF LIVING.
President Orders Investigation.
Of High Prices. ...

Washington.-An Investigation into
the reasons for the high cost of living
which is nation wide in it's scope has
been going on quietly for some time
at the direction of President Wilson.
Administration officials are devoting
particular attention to rketing meth
DDS in an effort to get at the root of
the matter. The greater part of the
work has fallen on Secretary of Agri-'
culture Houston and his department
The problem of the high cost of liv-
ing embraces two divisions, so far as
the investigators are concerned. These
are:
How to afford means to the farmer
to increase the production of his land
and how to lift the burden of the stead
lily increasing cost of food from the
masses.
1t is recognized by administration
officials that scientific farming alone
will not offer solution Of the prob
lem, but that a study must be made of
marketing facilities. organization and
community effort in order that some
thing effective may be done.
1t is admitted that there is consider
able alarm over the fact that indica-
tons point to sharp rise in the price:
of foodstuffs during the coming. win
ter. This is particularly the case with
eggs and beef. The former. it has
been said. will rise to Is cents per
dozen, while warnings have been is
sued that beef may reach the dollar
mark before long.
Secretary Houston has formulated a
list of questions which are being sent
to farmers in all parts Of the country.
These questions deal with ownership.
,tenantry and credits. and from the an
swers Secretary Houston hopes to
build the groundwork for his investi-
cation.
