Their weakness developed in fat cattle
at the primary market this morning
and with a fairly liberal supply of
fat stock here, the state of affairs
erected somewhat the condition at the
primary trading center and prices were
inclined to go lower. Most cattlemen
called it a weak market or 10c TO 15c
lower for the week. No material
change was noted in the manner in
which the few stock cattle changed
hands. Supplies were comparatively
small and although dealers we're in

was noted in actual prices received.
The hog market ruled reasonably
active on a strong to &c hisgher basis.

Which of the worlds nations pre-
sents the ideal woman from a perfectly
physical standpoint, using as a COM
parison Canova's famous Venus de
Milo?
Artists and teachers of physical Gull
ture the world over are sorely per-
picked over this much mooted question
today. having to pick from the repre-
sentatives of three countries, namely,
America, England and Australia, who
have entered into the controversy.
Americas type of a perfectly physi
cal woman is presented in the person
of Miss Elsie R. Schee, of Atwood, n,
j.. at present a senior of Cornell uni
versity.
England's rival is Miss Marjorie
Watson, employed as a cloak model in
one of London's famous show rooms,
and is declared by Ethel Porter Bailey,
noted artist, to be the ideal concep-
ton of twentieth century Venus.

youthful swimmer, mas been acclaimed
by artists and others interested in fem
mime physical idealism the world over

line can be drawn
A comparison of the table. artists
and physical culture experts declare,
demonstrate that while both Miss
Scheel and Miss Kellerman are eXcep-
tionally well proportioned, Miss Wat

rately. compares more closely to that of
the famous statue than any of the other
two
Miss Scheel. while being declared
perfect physically. as compared with the
usual standard set by experts in this
line, in several instances deviates from
the lines of Venus, which are more
closely followed by the English and
Australian representatives.
In height Miss Scheel is about one
inch under that given in tie measure
ments of Venus, she we'',hs about %
pounds in excess, and measures about
the waist and hips considerably more
than does the celebrated statue
Miss ScheeI's measurements, as
taken by the physical directors of Cor
nell, are as follows: Height, feet
inches; weight. III pounds; chest 346
inches; waist, 3O.3 inches: hips 4O.4
