Y, Nj. G.. A. Notes
Co receive Exercises

Though posture is largely a mat
ter of ambition expressed, vet exer.
else will help. Several things are
to be remembered.
1st that the position one assumes
is liable to become permanent.
End 1t is the duty of muscle to
pull and not push.
3rd Muscle shortens if used much
to complete contraction, therefore
vigorous exercise in and to the
right positions will help. We en-
phasize on our classes as follows:
For protrudine chin and head
forward, such exercises as head
bending backward with or without
pressure from the hands; also lying
on the back, arching from back of
head to hips and later to heels
(bridging)
For round shoulders. such exer.
cises as moving the arms Sidewalks
from the front horizontal; arm fling
ing sideward, raising of the chest:
various arch stands: lying on the
back; arching from head to hips
and heels.
For low shoulders, lifting or shrug'
cling of low shoulder.
For large waist, lying on back,
various thigh fiexions, later with
feet held down, raising to sitting
position.
However it is important to watch
the position, standing, setting or
walking throughout the day. When
bending forward, bend at the hips
instead of at the middle of the
back. When sitting, have the low
er back against the back of the
chair. Do not lean on your liver
and stomach.
ORGANIC VIGOR
1t is necessary to secure, as re-
suit of exercise, vigor of vital
organs which will withstand disease
and rack of the city, and furnish
endurance.
The first necessity is that all the
surface muscles of the body should
be used frequently, as of forearm,
upper arm, shoulder, neck, lower
limb. thigh, waist and chest. This
will insure a good healthy tone of
these muscles, but one might use
the muscles of the forearm indeti-
nitely and not develop vigor of the
vital organs, because that exercise
is so located that it does not de-
mand the use of the heart and
lungs and other organs.
To develop vitality, it is necessa-
ry in addition to using all the
muscles of the body, to use them,
particularly the large groups between
the waist aud the knee, vigorously
enough to increase the action of
the heart. lungs and other vital
organs. Exercising to the point of
a free perspiration is usually the
best guide as to whether this result
has been accomplished. In order
to still further help the work of the
abdominal organs, the element of
the pressure should be added side.
ware and forward bending.

down and not UP I was sure from my
knowledge of these ancient buildings and
the methods OF the warhoons
myself had once been a prisoner Of the
cruel hordes of northern warhoons and the
memory of the underground dungeon in
which 1 lay still is vivid in my memory.
And SO 1 felt certain that Tars Tarkas
lay In the dark pits beneath some nearby
building. and that in that direction
should find the trail of the three warriors
leading to his cell.
Nor was wrong. At the bottom Of the
runway-or rather, at the landing on the
floor below--I saw that the shaft descended
into the pits beneath and as I glanced
down the Pickering light of torch re-

The way led through n maze of tortuous cor
ridors, unlghted save for the light they
carrIed.
We had gone perhaps a hundred yards

rapidly as / dared through tho darkness
until l reached the point at which they had
left the corridor.
There, through an open door, saw them
removing the chains from the great 'Thark,
Tars Tarkas. He had been chained to the

return with Tars Tarkas the same way
that they had come, which would have car
ried them away from me; but. to my cha
grin they wheeled directly In my direction
as they left the ROOM
There was nothing for me but to hasten
on in advance and keep out Of the light
of their torch.
I dared not attempt to halt In the dark
ness of any of the ntersecting corridors, for
1 knew nothing of the direction they might
take Chance was as likely as not to carry
me into the very corridor they might choose
to enter.
The sensation of moving rapidly through
these dark passages was far from reassur-
ing. I knew not at what moment I might
plunge headlong into some terrible pit or
meet with some of the ghoulish creatures
that inhabit these lower worlds beneath the
dead cities of dying Mars.
There filtered to me a faint radiance
from the torch of the men behind-just
enough to permit me to trace the direction
OF the winding passageways directly before
me- and so keep me from dashing myself
against the walls at the turns.

It's All to Influence Orphans
Court for More Play

Accumulation Of Richard
Smith Estate Amounts to
81, 100000, Trustee Reports

Several thousand little children are being
coached daily to keep their thumbs turned
in and thereby Indirectly influence the
Orphans Court in decision TO be handed
down in the near future.
If the answer to the application made by
the Fidelity Trust Company, trustee. under
the will of Richard Smith, for leave to
apply the accumulations in the estate of
Richard Smith TO the establishment Of addi-
tional Fairgrounds in the city of Phladel-
phia, II the answer to the application is
favorable two or three more Fairgrounds,
similar to the Playhouse in Fairmount Park
will be erected in the most congested part
of the city.
William p Gest, president Of the Fidelity
Trust Company, said
The accumulations amount approxi-
mately to $780, 900. 1t would probably be
necessary to set aside a fund OF about
million dollars or S1,200,000 for the support
Of the new Fairgrounds, which would leave
approximately 5000, 900, or $780, 900 for the
establishment of new Fairgrounds. It is
probable that small Fairgrounds could be
but this would depend upon the size and
how much would be required for the ac-
quistion of the sites"
The sites for the proposed Fairgrounds
have not been decided, though IL is the
intention of the trustee to put them In
the most congested parts OF the city. A
survey of the city is being made and notes
on available sites are ready for the favor
able decision of the court.
THE most congested part lies in certain
sections between the south side of Glrard
avenue and north of Washington avenue.
There are numerous recreation centres in
this part of the city. Two favorable sites
have been acquired by the clty--the shot
tower, east OF I'd street and above Carpen-
ter street, and the other the old Rosengarten
chemical factory at 18th and Bainbridge.

centres and shall endeavor to have our play.

most definite answer Mr.. Gest would give
to any questions.
"The playhouses will not be as large as
Starr Garden, at 7th and South. To &C.

does, would be almost impossible. We pre-.

In the will of the late Richard Smith
II was provided that a proper building and
playground should be erected "for the
safety and comfort OF children as may be
brought there by parents. guardians or
other caretakers" Also Mr.. Smith said, II
would prefer that male children over 10

MRS. PIG HEARS OF THE BATTLE
BY Farmer Smith

Mister Donkey went TO his stall the night
OF the great battle between the bees and
Billy Bumpus. Billy had driven head first
into hive after hive OF bees in the apple
orchard and hadn't made an attempt to
capture the bees and put them in a box to
send to the enemy" as he called them.
The more Mister Donkey thought of
what had happened, the more he laughed
to himself, until he made so much noise
Mrs, Pig turned around and said:
What is all this laughing about? It's
the first time have ever heard you laugh
ike that Do let me share just one laugh
with you"
IT'S too funny to think about let alone
tell you. for IL should try to tell you then

get so excited about something, what would

youth. Now that I looked at him closely
commenced to see why his face and
personality had attracted me so strongly.
There was much of his mothers In
comparable beauty in his clear-cut fea-

his gray eyes and the expression of them
were mine.
Tho boy stood facing me, half hope
and half uncertainty in his look.
"Tell me of you mother" I said "Tell
me all you can of the years that 1 have
been robbed of her dear companionship."
With a cry of pleasure he sprang to-
ward me and threw his arms about my
neck, and for brief moment, as l held
my boy close to me, the tears welled to
my eyes.
