WHY WOMEN ARE
LESS BEAUTIFUL
Present Generation Does Not do
Enough Housework to Look
Like Grandma Did,

United Press Leased Wire Service. I
DENVER, Colo, Aug. American
women are much less beautiful than
their mothers and grandmothers were.
They are becoming fiat chested and
anaemic and the sole reason is the
fact that they do less housework and
are too comfortable to work. These
are views expressed before the Colo
RADIO state osteopaths convention by
DR.. Olive Lynn, of Colorado Springs
who has made special study OF the
subject Notwithstanding the mod
ern tendency among women to take
up outdoor sports, DR.. Lynn declares
she can never be recompensed In this
way for loss of healthful swing of the
broom and the development & broaeh
to arm and shoulder, the stoop over
the scrubbing brush, which strength
ened the spine and made the muscles
of waist and hip pllable, the stretch

to have the pleasure of meeting him
That the vice president would have
been glad to accept the invitation
there is no doubt. But he gave a
weary gesture toward the senate
chamber where for hours great states
men had been debating the burning
question of whether the duty on
furspar should be umpty and ZIG
cents per pound or umpty and 1882
cents per pound, and sighed. Mr..
Marshall declared it would be de-
light to him to go to Keokuk and
make an address on this momentous
occasion, but he said he could not
leave while the tariff debate is on.
The vote on some schedules is likely
to be SO close that there will be a
tie, in which case the vote of the
vice president would be necessary to
keep the administration bill intact.
So the vice president, regretfully.
was compelled to say he could not
accept the kind invitation of Keokuk,
for which he thanked Congressman
Kennedy and Senator Cummins who
him, and expressed the
hope that there might be some oc-
casion in the near future when he
could go to Keokuk.
