HEALTH IS PRESERVED
BY HABIT OF EXERCISE
Surgeon Murphy, q. S. Navy, Advo-
cate Of Swedish System Of Ply
steal Training for All Men.

The discussions Of the Swedish sys'
tenn Of physical training, which hai
been under trial at the naval training
stations for nearly two years, have LED
to the conclusion on the part of medi-
cal experts that steps should be taken
to make as thorough as possible the
habit of exercise as a means Of pre-
serving health.
Surgeon J. A. Murphy, U. s. N, is
heartily in favor of compulsory phys
ical training. He says:
Compulsory drill is necessary to
not physically prepared for the strains
of the many diverse forms Of effort
likely to be brought out when push and
drive become necessary to outmaneu-
yer and overcome a we'll conditioned,
worthy foe. Without compulsion the
men most in need of exercise are very
apt to postpone the breaking of ties
which weld them to a sedentary, easy
going, well fed existence. or 1t they
voluntarily take up some form Of exer-
else it is usually so mild as to increase
rather than decrease their attachment
to what becomes a comfortable, lazy
habit.
For such men there is some pain for
time in the creation of the healthy
normal feeling that comes from good
physical condition. In this state there
is a longing for the well-being that
goes with a proper dosage of exercise.
This will more than compensate for
the former false state Of apparent ease
and contentment."

PROBE COTTON CONDITIONS.
Members of U. S. Chamber of Com
merce to Investigate.

While en- route to New Orleans next
week to attend their annual meeting,
thirty-one directors of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, who
will leave this city Tuesday, plan to
make stops in order to get first hand
information concerning cotton condi-
tions. Later they will formulate a re-
port as to the means they consider best
for stimulating the industry.
In a survey of business conditions
which has been issued by Elliott H.
Goodwin, general secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. he expresses the opinion that un-
employment is on the increase in this
country. Wholesale collections are not
affected SO adversely as retail collec-
tions. for the reason that the whole.

retail merchant
The war, he said, has affected raw
products less than manufactured, while
banks are granting only about 50 per
cent Of normal credits, and the rates
are too high for normal lines of oper-
alton on close margins.

Vice President Marshall was criti-

Senate yesterday for allowing moving
pictures to be made in the Senate
chamber Friday. an unheard-of event
in the past history of that august body.

HoV the War Affects Us.
XL1X.-The Financial Outlook.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Financial America entered the third
month of the European war showing
encouraging signs of recovery from the
financial shock which prostrated it in
August In practically every field OF
industrial and agricultural activity the
financial situation is materially bet
ter than it was-the notable exception
being cotton. Exports are Increasing.
difficulties of foreign exchange are be-
Ing overcome to considerable degree.
bankers are contributing to a gold pool
instead Of boarding gold and loans are
being renewed at lower rates of inter-
est. With respect to the financing of
chaotic, but there is a ray of hope
even in the south.
This recovery is not due to any
decided change in the war situation.
but rather to readjustment of finan-
cial relations made by determined men
who recognize the fact that they must
prepare to finance the United States
without respect to the duration of the
European war. The war was the cause
OF the troubles, but, as no human being
can predict when it will end, it was
necessary to place our own finances
on war footing. The panicky fears
that caused a cessation of all money
dealings at the beginning has in
large part been allayed. and from now
on there Is reason to look for a steady
slow indeed.
The major financial problem has had
to do with meeting American obIiga-
tions abroad.

other evidences of debt at first insisted
upon payment in gold. For that rea-
son foreign exchange Immediately re-
sumed character as the barometer of
conditions. The price of foreign ex-
change and its supply were held to
indicate the healthfulness of our finan-
cial status. The reduction in the rate
of exchange and the increase in the
supply Of bills on the market during
the first week in October were consid-
cred positive proof of improving condi-
tions.
The immediate cause of this improve
ment In exchange is universally recog-
nized in the hundred-million-d dollar
gold pool to which contributions were
made by bankers in all parts of the
country. Large as it seems, this hun
dred million dollars would not go very
far toward paying all of our foreign
obligations for the next few weeks.
but, as Is always the case in financial
relations. the moral effect of the
knowledge that the United States is
ready to ship gold abroad is to de-
crease the demand for gold.
Some financiers take the optimistic
view that not more than twenty five
millions of the gold pool actually will
have to be shipped out of the country
Others. more conservative, believe that
half, or even three-fourths, of this
gold supply will actually have to be
shipped before foreign exchange can be
resumed upon the ordinary credit
basis.
Even pessimists are constrained to
admit that before the entire hundred
million dollars has been sent abroad
the increasig exports. in the absence
Of ordinary imports, will have created
