"Casabianca.''

The hero OF Mrs. Hemans
famous poem was a real parsonage.
he was a Corsican. and came OF a
brave and very old family. His
Iather was Luce de Casabianca, and
mad served in the French Navy from
ooyhood. II is said that his father
went TO sea in his thirteenth year.
quick to learn and ready to obey.
ne made rapid progress. and he
showed great heroism during the
American Revolution, a struggle in
which the French lent a hand both
on land and sea. In time Luce de
Casabianca became captain and was
given command of war vessel
named the Orient, which took part
in the battle of Aboukir.
early in the engagement the
French Admiral was killed. and
Captain Casabianca was suddenly
called upon to take command of the
French fleet. He scarcely had done
so when he was wounded in the
head, and II was seen that tbs
wound was fatal. He was called
upon to surrender. hut he refused,
saying he would rather go down
with his vessel. Even when the
Orient took FIRE he declined to leave.
And | stay with my fatherr' cried
the son, who was a boy of ten. you
must save YOURSELF" urged his
father, and live for your mother,
In answer the boy threw himself
on his father and held him In q
tight and loving embrace. The prob
ability is that the boy would have
been taken away by force, but tims
did not permit OF this. The fire had
reached the powder magazine, and
the Orient was blown into the air.
In this way the brave father and
his noble son persisted.

Return to first positlno.
Bend the left knee upward.

Perform this exercise from eight
to ten times. AS you lift the right
knee the left hand will come up,
and the right one when the left
knee Is bent.
This movement is an ideal waist
reducer and strengthened. For since
the knee comes upward 1t follows
that the hip is bent. and the only
hip bender or thigh litter is the ten
derloin muscle. This structure runs
from the back through the abdomen
to the thigh. When this muscle Is
given exercise it shakes up the
fatty tissues along it's way. And
nothing is more destructive to
these tissues than this hard treat
ment.
And to completely destroy the re-
pose of these tissues and to further
strengthen the waist you should do
some side bending. These move
ments will also get the blood from
the cavities of the abdomen and
pelvis where 1t has collected during
the night. So face the side of the
tub, as you did in the first and sec
ond exercises.
Place the hands upon the
hips, fingers forward, thumbs
behind.
Fling the right arm with fin
gers extended, overhead and bend
the trunk to the left.
Return to first position.
Fling up the left arm and
bend TO the right side.
Six times will be sufficient for
this movement.
Now I shall suggest some exer-
cises which can be taken sitting.
Place yourself with right side
toward the side Of the tub.
Sit upon the side of the tub
by placing the thigh along its
rim.
Grasp the near side of the
rim with the right hand, and
the opposite rim with the left.

During this entire movement do not
allow the shoulders to poke up to-
ward your ears, but keep them
down and out.
This exercise should be per-
formed from six to ten times &C
cording to the prowess Of your fore
arm, which does all the work. And
since by this time your feet will
feel themselves neglected, step into
the middle of the tub and face one
end. Then perform this tread

Lightly cIench the fists and

After treating the thigh to this

leg and begin to knead from the
knee upward. Press down as hard

The hands should be parallel,

Swing the right leg over the

Repeat the movement twice.
Sit with tho left thigh along

At each swing the body should

that the thigh swings clear of its

If your wrists feel unsteady when
you perform the second exercise
do not attempt this one, for you
must have firm grip upon the tub,
and a weak wrist Is a sure sign
that you need this support. IL the

T HE old precept. zone thing at

- formed into the twentieth
century query: How many things
can you do at once?" Still the few
minutes in which her bath water is
running is time wasted by many an
otherwise efficient time saving
woman.
Instead of dawdling around till
the tub fills, just step into It as
you turn on the water. Then per-
form some good exercises until the
bath Ia ready for you. The feet,
those despised members of woman
of the present day, will feel all the
better for this lengthy immersion.
And since the surface of the tub
counsels careful motion, you will
needs give the toes a chance to
strengthen their muscles in getting
a good grip upon their somewhat
slippery point of support.
Unless you are accustomed to
slippery surfaces don't attempt any
exercises in the tub without the pre-
caution of providing rubber mat
to furnish firm foothold, for fall
might prove serious matter.
No matter how strenuous you
may feel when you start your exer-
lions you must begin with a light
exercise until the heart rate is
slightly accelerated. The following
arm bending and stretching will
prove an excellent pacemaker:
Stand midway along the side
Of the tub facing outward.
clench the fists and bend the
elbows until the forearms are
doubled on the outside Of tho
upper arms.
Stretch tho arms straight
sideways at shoulder level.
Return to second position.

as rapidly as 1t is possible to do it
correctly. Then while standing in

Wilcox Issues
a Statement at
Midnight

New York, Nov. S.--Chairman WILL
cox issued the following statement at
midnight:
THE returns from states in which
the vote is close are coming in slowly.
The delay appears to be caused by the
time required to get in reports from ru-
raj communities. The latest returns
clearly indicate that Minnesota, North
Dakota. New Mexico, Oregon and prob
ably California have gene for Hughes.
These. added to the states already GER
tain give him 2S0 electoral votes. Even
if all or some Of the electoral votes OF
California should go to Wilson. there
are still neough left to assure the cleo
ton of Hughes.
Every precaution must be taken to
secure an honest count Of the ballots in
every close state. Anybody who init
mates that Charles Evans Hughes
would permit any man or group of men
to attempt to steal the presidency for
him is contemplate scoundrel and
knows it. .
Il say further with full sense of re-
sponsibility to the American people
that any man or group Of men who
attempt to steal the presidency, from
Mr.. Hughes will do so at their peril.
