adopted by the reorganization element
of the Democracy it is offensive parti-

The armys getting ready
With implements of war,

Like none they've had before.

At drills most any night.

sents the case as follows:

According to official figures. In

British railways for every stxty-eight
million passengers carried.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, IN bulletin recently issued,
gives figures upon railway casualties
IN this country for three months OF
1913, October, November and 'Decem-
Der. The total number of casualties

1872 persons killed and more than

accidents was 191 and the mum Der In

The entire death list includes the
names; Of but eighty-four passengers.
This does not seem large when the
mileage of American railroads is con
sldered, ten times that of Great Brit

Itt IS remembered that the British
roads carry a greater number Of
passengers than the American roads
The American roads are still far from,
the British standard.
In twenty-four years the number of

States has reached the tremendous
total Of 1SS,037. More than q mil
Len and quarter persons were In
1tred tn the same period.
The responsibility for all this
slaugh does not attach to the rail-
roads. for many Of the persons killed
or injured were trespassing on rail-
road property, or were killed at cross
l1ngs, or In other ways where there
was contributory negligence on tho
part Of the victim. :.
But with all due allowance. the
fact remains that the railroad cas-
ualty record is too high, which ia

either with one foot5in advance OF
the other as the military "at rest" or
with heels together. In the military
carriage the body is bent farther for
ward than in the ordinary walking
posture. The cadet gets his erect
posture. not so much by the physical
exercise he takes as by constantly
being reminded by his officers that
he must hold his body erect.
There are three ways to tell
whether you are carrying yourself
properly. Stand with your back to a
wall which has a smooth surface.
with the head, shoulders. hips and
heels touching the wall: try to main
tain this position at all times. An
other way is to lie on the back, note
the posture of the head. shoulders.
chest and hips, and arise and assume
the same posture. Still another is to
practically balance moderately heavy
book on the head. Place soft
cushion on the head and the book on
top, as this give the book more SER
vice upon which to rest and is more
easily balanced.
Keeping the chest high and the
body erect is an excellent exercise
and should be cultivated.
