Article Number One, by MRS.
LILLIAN ID. BECKER, Mother
of "Perfect Girl"
When my 14-year-old daughter,
Dorothy Becker, contested with
the worlds best swimmers at the
recent aquatic events in San
Francisco, winning the 50-yard
dash for women, she demonstrat-
ed that almost every girl can be
the architect of her own body.
Her showing in these races
marked the end of a 1500-day ex-
pertinent in recreating a hope
less invalid into one of Ameri-
cas- fleetest mermaids and robust
outdoor girls.
-Four years ago lying in a hos
pital, suffering from three seri-
Gus operations, after a protract-
ed illness, Dorothy was given up
to die by the best physicians on
the Pacific coast.
Today she is perfect in body
and sound in health.
The story of Dorothy's achieve
ment is one in which many Amer
lean parents should find a vital
interest. 1t may serve to save
some girls from sacrifice to the
stupidity of those fathers and
mothers who frown down their
daughters hunger for wholesome
outdoor exercises and frolic with
the "tomboy" rebuke.
Grit and persistent exercise OF
lungs and muscles are the big es-
sentials in building sound and
beautiful bodies.
Any girl who has fighting
chance can do what Dorothy did,
| am sure.
She was 10 years cid when
stricken with scarlet fever. Com
plications necessitated operations
which brought her to the verge of
death.

Baltimore, Md.s May 20, 1919:

By and About Women

1.-THE American mother who
most needs advice just now as
neither the very rich or the very
poor, but the one between" says
DIR. Lydia A. Vilbiss of the Ameri-
can Medical association. "She
cant hire carefully trained
nurses and she won't accept what
she feels to be the charity of
clinics and milk stations. What
we must do for her is to make
hygiene free for everybody as
schools are now. The state pays
the teachers. Why shouldn't Il
pay the doctors? The state needs
both healthy bodies and trained
minds in it's future citizens.

Our girl weighed Just 40
pounds when We arrived at the
seashore. So shattered were her
nerves that we could not speak
to her, could not make the
slightest noise, without throwing
her into a crying spell.
But she learned to swim.
And seven weeks later her
weight had increased to ~
pounds. A bit of color appeared
in the wan cheeks. Slowly the
rasped nerves responded to the
soothing touch of the sea. Today
she tits the scales at IFS
pounds in her thin bathing suit
as fine an example of sturdy,
winsome girlhood as can be
found anywhere.

How it is now that white folks and railroads
and civilization have come we really don't know
probably more clothing but less modesty.
It's the state of mind that needs fixing i'm this
country. We liked what we read of the talk Which
that chap kneeland gave before the club women
in Chicago-Kneeland, you know, the vice seuth.
He wanted women TO mother motherless girls,
to work for better economic conditions, to teach
the young the truths of life, but above all, he
urged MOTHERS TO TRAIN THEIR SONS TO
HONOR WOMANHOOD.
That last is something every mother can do,
beginning Immediately. And it will begin to take
effect it is rightly started.
The youngster who's reared in a good home
to respect his mother and his sisters may
later slip and stumble, but he'll never entire
ly forget the suggestions of that early training.

The Supreme Court.

Technincalties no longer play a
very large part in the decisions of
the Minnesota supreme court. In
brief the court seems to have become
much more liberal than formerly, to
have caught perhaps the spirit Of
the times more than any other court
of it's character in the country. Those
who have followed the decisions of
this tribunal during the last eighteen
months point to several opinions to
prove their content ton that the court
is ignoring technincaitiesi more and
more. Among the legislative enact
ments held valid during that period
are:
Corrupt practices act.
Non-partisan primary law.
Reapportionment act.
Workmen's compensation act. !
New weights and measures law.
