BUSINESS MAN NEEDS SPORT
America Would Do Well to FOLLOW
Example Set by England In :
That Respect.
"What do YOU do for exercise?"

"What do you do for exercise?"
ITO tell the truth, | don't get very
much exercise nowadays. | used to
play considerable golf and tennis when
l was in college, but after | got into
business-well, you know how it Is.
You don't have time, for one thing,
and there's no place for play, for an
other
This conversation occurred recently
between two New York business men.
Both men were under thirty. Both
loved athletic sports and games. But
both had got into business and were
growing fat about the waist.
The problem of obtaining exercise
In big city so far has not received
the serious attention that it deserves.
The chief medical adviser of one of
New York's greatest life insurance
companies has said that the increased
mortality among persons more than
fifty years old is partly due to the
average citizens lack of exercise.
Americans, unlike Englishmen, have
not taken their sports serlously-as
sports. Sport in this country has hith-
erto been violent participation for
the few and gentle dissipation for
the many. Baseball Is called the great
American game, and undoubtedly 1t Is.
But how many average business men
play baseball? 1t is almost entirely
confined to the professional and anna
teur leagues and to boys in school.
It is by no means a national game,
Judged from the standpoint Of those
who play it. .
The whole tendency of American
athletics has been toward centraliza-
ton and specialization. Sport has
been considered as thing apart from
the everyday business of life.
Progress and civilization have pro-
vided a thousand comforts and lux
uries for the body, while demanding
an increased activity from the brain,
SO it is mistake to believe that the
strain of modern life is responsible
for the increased death rate among
middle aged persons. But the want
of exercise is an important contributor
to the greater mortality.

the name But with Can Grande (or
Great Dog No. u della Scala we come
to a gentleman who was magnificent
in his ideas, his ways of living, and, to
the best of his opportunities, In his
tomb. That considerable three-storied
edifce forms a kind of portal to the
family church. 1t showed the prince

cophagus, while above In full armor
he proudly rides his charger. Mastino

piglione to build him monument four
stories high and hexagonal in plan,
with figured pilasters, categorical stat
ues, richly carved sarcophagus, and
the prince himself on horseback at
the top of all.
The rushing Adige, twirling in s
form through the city, Is feature con-
stantly in evidence. In the older parts
| that remain, the house fronts rise
plumb from the waters; modern i'm
provements employ the banks for
streets. The Adige is not a river you
can casually punt across. 1t Is in
| violent hurry and insists upon being
| bridged. The Romans built sturdy
stone bridge, now called the Ponte
| della Pietra, and two of it's ancient
arches remain, as we'll as the base OF
some other piers OF course radical

been required from time to time, the
Adige floods being frequent and might
! lily destructive, as generations of Yer
onese have learned to their cost. Most
of the existing bridge was the work of
| the famous local Dominican architect,
Fra Giocondo, who was employed upon
it in 1920 in the eighty-fifth year of his
age. The battlemented Ponte di Cas-
tel Vecchio likewise calls for mention.
1t leads to the palace of the Scaiigers
which Can Grande II built and the folk
of today use as barrack.
Like Venice, Verona is a city of pal
aces, the architecture of which reflects
the various influences that met within
its walls, and of these influences that
Of Venice is unmistakable. Facades

most of it away.

Making Uniforms Less Visible.

One of the latest conceptions for
rendering military uniforms less Wis
IDLE on the field of battle is to use ma
terial in pronounced irregular alter
mating patches of contrasting light and
dark colors with wavy outlines.
Some of the darker patches are out
lined in a still darker color, and
smaller spots of contrasting color
break up the color effect of some OF
the patches, so that the effect OF
uncertain light and shade is pro-
duced, to cause the garment to lose
it's identity by mingling with the back
ground.

To Beat an Eaa Quickly.

Break the egg into an ordinary
glass tumbler. Place a piece of clean
tissue paper on the top. Hold it
firmly down all around to keep out
the air. Place the other hand on
the top of the paper and shake the
tumbler vigorously two or three
times. The egg is then ready to use
without any further effort, and is as
well-beaten as If whipped for teV
minutes.

Austrian aviators added new
chapter to the history Of a
town which was mo mean
city" in the great days of imperial
Rome, says Sir Martin Conway in
Country Life.
Twenty-Five thousand spectators
could then have found accommodation
together in the stately amphitheater
which still exists. Diocletian built 1t
(about 200 A. d. of white and red
Verona marble, and all sorts of princes
have caused 1t to be restored Its royal
platform has been occupied by who
shall say how many famous person
ages, but none of them greater than
Theodore the Ostrogoth, who made
this city one of his capitals, and took
his name from 1t in medieval legend,
Dietrich Of Bern. The Veronese In
deed, i'll taught by bigoted churchmen,
scarcely held his memory IL due
honor, If they are rightly represented
by the inscription on sculptured fig
ure of him by the door of San Zeno's,
where he is described as an Arian
hereto (Which he was) and is said to
be riding to hell on the horse given to
him by Satan!
Other Roman memories are pre-
served by the city in its ruined theater
and in remnants of Notifications and
gates. The walls, as they now stand,

quently used, and, being covered over,
they do not occupy tillable land or
divide field. Where properly laid,
there is little danger of the tiles fill
ing and practically no maintenance
cost. Because water runs faster
through tiles they can be much small
er than the open ditch. The latter,
however, has an advantage in holding
more water after rain, though, per-
haps, not carrying more. The farmer
is in position to Judge for himself
when it is profitable to use tile.

seed to terminate more readily, there
by giving a better stand Of crops and
causing the plants to grow more
promptly.
Drained land can be plowed earlier
In the spring than undrained land.
Crops can be cultivated sooner after
rain, and If covered tile drains are
used instead of open bitches machin-
cry can be used to better advantage
and the cost of cultivation decreased.
Health conditions are also improved
by the drainage of swamps and stand
ing water. The breeding places for
mosquitoes are removed, with the con-
sequent adjustment of malaria in the
locality.
Practical System.
The most practical drainage system
is one that is adequate permanent,
uses the least possible land, and is
not hindrance to cultivation. Tile
drains which empty into either open
or closed outlets most nearly provide
such n system. BY the open-ditch sys-
ten much valuable land is occupied
the drainage is seldom thorough, and
the bitches become filled and have to
be cleaned out. Open bitches some
times occupy as much as ten per cent
and frequently five per cent of the
area drained. Thus it is that tile
drains, while more expensive to in
stall, arc generally the most econom-
ical in the end.
In laying out drainage system,
tho ontlet is the first consideration.
On rolling or billy lands channels
have usually been washed out, al
though they may need to be straight
ened and cleaned out. On low, level
land it is usually necessary to dig
open bitches, and they should be
straight and deep, since curves check
the flow OF water, while in deep ditch
water generally flows more rapidly
and less vegetation is likely to BIZ
present. The outlets should be deeI

In the last half of the game the
Holtville boys took few quick shots
at the basket and defeated the Cen
tral, team by a score of 33 to 10,
winning the first basketball game of
the season in the valley.
The Ell Centro girls were more for
tunate, however, for as the score was
totaled they had the long end of a
score Of 40 to 6.
The two basketball teams played
Saturday at the High School resulted
in a mutual victory for both Holtville
and Ell Centro. Both games were fast
all through, the boys game being
closer most of the time and conse-
quently more exciting. The Ell Gen.
