WALKING FOR SPEED.
Arm Action, Body Balance and the
Proper Leg and Foot Motion.

Arm Action, Body Balance and the
Proper Leg and Foot Motion.
In starting on the track the novice
should hold himself as erect as posi-
BILE, without, however, leaning at all
backward, the arms at the sides, with
the forearms In a horizontal position,
at right angles to the part of the arms
above the elbows. He should have a
feeling of being well balanced on his
pins"
The weight must be kept on the heels
therein lies the chief secret Of walk
ing fairly. Speed depends on two fac
tors, the length and the frequency of
the stride. Experiments prove that the
length of the stride becomes greater as
the frequency increases.
Arm action should be carefully cul-
tivated. Properly used, the arms seem
to act as levers to lift forward the body,
besides helping to balance 1t. In each
stride one foot should be always on the
ground and at same moment of the
stride some part of both feet should be
on the ground simultaneously-that is,
the first necessity. Second in impor-
lance is to have the walk heel and
tOe"-that is, the heel of each foot
should strike the ground Enthusiastically
first and the toe of each foot should
be the last part to leave it One should
not walk fiat footed, with the ball of
the foot or any part except the heel
striking the ground before the heel
does. Lastly, the knee should be
locked" at the end Of each stride-the
grounded leg should be stiff and taut
as the loose leg swings out for the next
stride-Outing.

lAWSOF commerce
BY HAROLD CARTER,

1t was sudden impulse that took
little Miss Dimsey into the private
office of old Adolf Ludwig, proprietor
OF the cheap department store in
which she worked. She went in bold
ly, her only encouragement the fact
that old Ludwig knew her, and had
once or twice stopped and spoken to
her in his fatherly way.
We'll, Miss Dimsey!" said the old
man, looking up over his spectacles
and beaming at her.
Little Miss Dimsey's wen-planned
story broke down, and she broke into
tears. The old man looked gravely
concerned.
Tell me your troubles" he said,
| handing her chair.
I've simply got to have my salary

Miss Dimsey"
! Il guess that's about enough said
the girl. And l don't know what to
do. We are at our wits ends for
money. How can you expect a girl to
live decently on that, even if she has
only herself to look out for?'
Ludwig looked at her thoughtfully

faster than ever as she thought of pa

OLD CLAY PIPE HIS LEGACY
Old Soldier Had Particular Reason for
vaIuing Trifle Left Him by
Comrade.

A touching little romance of clay
pipe was told to London writer by
tobacconist.
1t concerned an old gentleman who
had every appearance Of an Indian or
r or, and who one day brought the
tobacconist just about the dirtiest
clay pipe he had ever set eyes on. He
wanted the bowl fitted with raised
cover in gold in the shape of helmet,
on which was to be engraved the
crest and the motto OF a certain regi'
ment The shopkeeper told the gen.
tleman that they would do their best,
but as the bowl was already cracked
il would require careful handling,
and wouldn't stand much pressure.
Well he replied, "if your work
man breaks that bowl he'd better quit
the country at once. for his life won't
be worth days purchase.
Luckily, this weird threat didn't re-
quire to be put into execution, for the
lob was finished without mishap,
whereupon the old gentleman, after
paying the bill. sent for the workman
and gave him a present of SIS.
He then condescended to tell the
tobacconist that his reason for at
| taching so much value to clay was
| that ii belonged to an Irish soldier
who has twice saved his life in
frontier war. The soldier was bit
/ of a ne'er-do-well, and never got pro-
motion When he died he left his

only thing in the world he could call
his own. to the general-the tobac-
conist's customer.
