is coming on the right foot and
the right wrist is foremost, throw
the head to the right and give
the body (which must be bent
slightly back throughout the ex-
ercise) a slight turn to the right.
Alternate this from foot to foot.
Always practice these eXer-
cises in regular alienation from
right to left or left to right and
back again to insure even bodily
development. Real beauty of form
demands as first requisite absO-
lutely even and uniform develop
ment. for only when it is abso-
lutely normal is the body truly

A friend, Joe Brick, He looked
worried. When l greeted him
with smile he groaned.
"Oh, if you only knew! If you knew,
but you don't"
Then feeling, like most unhappy
men, desire to confide the story Of
his misery to somebody, he told it to
me, and a pitiful story it was indeed.
My affairs were going splendidly
and l was already hoping to become
a member of the Billionaires' Club"
began Joe. "a rich marriage,
thought. would help me along. In So
ciety had often met Miss Ruby
Smith, a daughter of the king of agri-
culture, a young lady of unusual
beauty. but who unfortunately had
neither arms nor legs. She was called
the trunk woman. She was known to
be amiable and sweet tempered, and
was extraordinarily bright so bright
indeed that most of the schemes
which had made her father the rich
est man in the United States had
been Matched in her brain.
Il Decided to Marry"
Il decided to marry Ruby Smith,
and one afternoon, dressed in my
very best clothes, l asked her father
for her hand.
He looked at me sharply and
said:
my daughter is very rich; how
much are you WORTH

about my hopes. I proved to him
that / had an idea which would rev.
olutionize the manufacture of beet
sugar that I had scheme to cut the
cost of oleomargarine in two, and de-
picted to him all the details of my
plan to increase the crop Of Brussels
sprouts, to triple it's present size by
sprinkling the plants twice a day
with water from the celebrated Man
neken fountain in Brussels, and how
there were untold millions in my idea
of exporting black radishes to the
negroes in Africa.
He was greatly impressed, took
me into his arms and exclaimed:
"'You are to be my son-in-l law, If
Ruby will have you for her hus-
band
Miss Ruby received me most cor
daily. Poor little one, how beautiful
she was! A regular Venus from Milo,
only more perfect still, since her legs,
too, were missing.
Il shall not go into details. II is
enough to tell that she accepted me
and a date was set for our wedding.

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.
1t 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-
pies whose names are drawn to-
gether would, at the conclusion of
the draw, be united forthwith by the
syndic.

The First Figure.

IlS II ~ u IuS
The first figure on top might
stand for a number of ideas-in-
juTed 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 a 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

because they had wonderful

so out of this circle of perfec-

CORN AND COTTON CROPS
THE MOST VALUABLE EVER

Washington, Dec. 17.-With the
most valuable crops of corn and cot
ton ever produced and the second
most valuable oat crop, the value
of the nations fourteen principal
farm crops this year aggregates the
enormous total of $4,94O,3O1 900, the
department of agriculture announced
in it's final estimates of acreage, pro-
duction and value. This is an in
crease Of $182,958,OOO over the value
Of the same crops last year and of
$3.50, 900 over those of 1911, based
on the prices paid to farmers on De-
cember 1.
The acreage of these crops is equiv
alent to a farm one-seventh the size
of continental United States. The ex-
act area planted to these fourteen
crops, which is more than 95 per cent
of the total of all crop area, was
299, ,433,00 acres, an increase of al
most 100000 acres over last years
area and of more than 100000 over
the 011 area. More than one-third
of the total acreage was planted to
corn.

ENABLES HELEN KELLER
TO HEAR OWN VOICE

New York, Dec. 17.-That from a
bit of mechanism created by Edison
Helen Keller heard her own voice and
was able to distinguish some words of
a song for the first time, is vouched
for by Mrs. I. M. Ilsen, the personal
representative Of Mr.. Edison in Cleve-
land. During the experiment Miss
Keller held wooden piano key in
her hand, which she laid inside horn.
This key method has long been used
by Edison as an aid to his own hear
ing. After the music was over, re-
lates Mrs. Ilsen, Miss Keller placed
her head in the horn and spoke to her
teacher, Mrs. Macy. She appeared
startled and then told that she heard
herself speaking and that she did not
pronounce her words as distinctly as
she thought she did.
"The dream of my life is to meet
that wonderful man. He has given
me the greatest pleasure in all my
life," was her comment when the ex-
pertinent was over.
Edison, on learning of her desire
to meet him, sent his. auto for her
and brought her to his home in West
Orange, N. j. Mr.. Edison, when
asked over the telephone if any more
experiments had been tried, replied
that the visit was purely social.

FLEET IS HOME AFTER
SEVEN WEEKS ABSENCE

New York, Dec. 1.-THE battle
ships Wyoming, Arkansas, Utah and
Florida came into port after passing
through a five-day gale which marked
the end of their voyage of 5000 miles.
These vessels were part of the fleet
which left Hampton roads October %
for the Mediterranean on a voyage of
courtesy and to demonstrate that a
squadron of United States battleships
could cross the Atlantic and return
without being forced to depend on
foreign ports for supplies. Nine bat
tleships composed the fleet and not an
ounce of coal, oil or provisions was
purchased in the seven weeks or more
they were absent from American
shores. Officers of the fleet said the
voyage established a record for the
United States navy.
Three colliers and a provision ship
accompanied the battleships, carrying
all necessary supplies. Officers said
that these vessels could have supplied
the fleet for a much longer time had
it been necessary.
Captain Chaplin of the Wyoming
fell ill on the return from Gibraltar
and surrendered the command of his
vessel to Commander Vogellsang.
Captain Chaplin was taken to the ma
rine hospital in Brooklyn and his
condition was said to be critical.
A graphic account of the accident
to the Vermont last week was given
by the sailors. The accident occurred
during gale and while the Ver-
mont was on the crest of giant waves.

TO LIGHT THE POLAR NIGHT
Engineer Will Devise Plan to
 Harness the Gales.

Philadelphia, Dec. t8.-The winds that blow in Northern Alaska are to be harnessed to light up the long ploar night in the cause of religion.
 To this end announcement was made yesterday that the Rt. Rev. P. T. Rowe, bishop of the diocese of Alaska, has authorized Dr. w. E.. B. s. Temple, head of the electri- cal engineering department of the University of Pennsylvania, to de- sign and build an electric light plant operated by windmill for use of the Episcopal mission at Point Hope, Alaska. Point Hope is more than one hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle, where the po- Jar night continues several months each year.
 Bishop Rowe, on a recent visit to Philadelphia, said that the wind ve- locity at Point Hope is rarely be- low twenty miles an hour, and that it averages approximately twenty five miles. The temperature in the winter months ranges from B to 55 degrees below zero. The idea of installing such a plant at the mission, where there are four hun dred inhabitants, originated, it is said, with the Rev. A. R. Hoare, who is Tn charge of the mission.
