BENT BACKS STRENGTHENED
 IN UNIVERSITY GYMNASIUM

Seattle, March 4-Straightening crooked backs is the main business of one class at the University of Washington. This Is the class in corrective gymnastics for girls. Last semester there were 22 enrolled and when the class Is reorganized, as it will be soon, there will be one or two nev members.
 These women do not find Cor rective Gymnasticsp in their catalogS as a requirement nor as a prere- quisite. It Is a substitute for the eight hours of physical training the university requires of all girls. Their physical examinations, taken upon entering college, have shown them to be in some way different from the normal and they are put in a class by themselves.
 Although there are five frequent ly reoccurring difficulties, so per cent of the present class are dis qualified for the regular gymnasium classes ty curvature of the spine.
 The instructor of the class is Mrs. Fred Bloom. not a member of the faculty but a masseuse by pro- fession. Mrs. Bloom is Swedish, and usees the Swedish methods. Befo:e coming to America to be the wife Of the university's assistant engin- eer, she won great success in Copen- hagen and In London.
 Corrective gymnastics are taught late In the afternoon. The class does not work as a whole, but each individual has the work most suited to her needs. The visitor finds once member swinging on the bars, another practicing with the dumb-bells or Indian clubs, those who find themselves tiring recline in little chattering groups on the outskirts of the big gym.

OLD TIMERS ARE:
 BACK FOR GOOD

Mir and Mrs. F. NJ. Lucavish, old time residents of Skagway, return ed on the Humboldt this morning with the expressed intention of mak ing this their future home. They were around the streets this fore noon renewing old acquaintances and looking over the changes wrought in the past few years in the appearance of the town.
 MT. Lucavisl when here before, was engaged in the express deliv- cry business, but says he is not yet fully determined as to what line of endeavor he will engage for a live lihood in the future.
 He has been living near Wen atchee, Wash, for some time past, the region where the delicious red checked apples of commerce are grown, and has rather taken a lik- ing to the "back to the farm idea, so it would not be surprising to us were he to procure a suitable place and go into raising produce for the home market.
 In whatever work he decides to follow he has the best wishes of the Daily Alaskan for unqualified success.

SHIP PURCHASE
FIGHT ON AGAIN
DEMOCRATS SAY MEASURE WILL
BE KEPT BEFORE SENATE uN-
TIL VOTE is TAKEN.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Democrat-
ic and Republican senators today re-
newed the fight over the administra-
tion ship-purchase bill. after a truce
midnight Saturday. The truce fol-
lowed a continuous 36-hour session.
Leaders on both sides were prepared
to continue the remarkable struggle.
The Democrats have declared that
the shipping bill will be kept con-
tinuously before the senate. The
Republicans have asserted that they
are ready to meet any plan the Dem
ocrats adopt. Republicans claim Dem
ocratic leaders are already weaken
ing. The latter say they will continue
the fight continuously this week I'M
til the bill reaches a vote. They
claim a three or four day continuous
session will force roll cali on the
bill: therefore the measure will he
quickly and finally disposed of.
Senator Smith, of Michigan, was
ready to resume his speech attacking
the bill when the senate met this
morning. He began his speech Satur-
day night
The administrations attitude to-
ward the measure has been disclosed.
1T is that the pending bills passage,
until 1t Is decided where ships will be
bought, the United States will not en-
ter diplomatic discussion with foreign
governments over the right to buy
,belligerent vessels. The bill would au-
thorize the president to purchase
ships.
