Not More Than IS Per Cent
Of American Girls Possess
Normal Backs, Says Expert.

"The American girl is a poor ply
steal specimen" said Doctor Kristine
Mann, as quoted by Marguerite Mooers
Marshall in the New York World.
"Of the girls working in department
stores 65 per cent should have their
teeth attended to.
Twenty per cent need eyeglasses.
"Thirty-five per cent have digestive
troubles.
"Eighty-five per cent have something
the matter with their backs.
And group of well-to-do American
daughters will show just as many ply
steal defects as the poor working girls"
ended Doctor Mann.
For years Doctor Mann has been
working to improve the social condition
of American girlhood. She has made
physical examinations of hundreds of
girls from all classes.
Compared with the women devel-
oped by the Greek civilization, even
with modern Scandinavian and Ger
man women, American girls are in bad
shape" Doctor Mann continued.
There are not more than eight to
fifteen girls in every hundred who have
fiat, straight normal backs. Out Of
the remaining S5 some backs hollow in
too abruptly at the waist, others show
lateral curves--of which the visible
effect is rounded shoulders or one
shoulder higher than the other
Most girls ought to be ashamed to
look at themselves in the glass. II
they would only try that once In a
while, they would realize their defects.
Sometimes it seems to me that the
only sure way to make people strong
and well would be to abolish clothes
! and let vanity do the rest
IF we had to see ourselves, and
each other, without kind and conceal
Ing garments, we should realize how
weak and unbeautiful and unhealth-
full we have become. The modern busi-
ness girl thinks chiefly of efficiency
and by that word she means getting
bigger wages, getting ahead. She
doesn't mean making herself more
rounded and complete human being. So
she takes no care of her body.
yet l believe 1t Is perfectly DOS
slble for women to work and be well.
A girl came to me a year ago. She
had swollen glands, acute indigestion
and several other things the matter
with her, and she worked in a corset
factory with heavy machinery. gave
her certain exercises and prescribed a
hygienic diet She faithfully followed
what I told her. and in the summer
went to girls camp instead of a
boarding house. Now she is in splen-
did condition.
But the work am doing for 80 or
40 girls should be done for 10000 or
10000" continued Doctor Mann.

Survivors Of Great Tragedies.

James Boyle, who had so remarkable
an escape from the fate of all others
aboard the Inflated Connemara and Re
triever, will take place among the
sole survivors of great tragedies. When
the French mail steamer General
Chanzy went on the rocks, off north
west Minorca six years ago, one man,
Marcel Badez, was the only survivor
of 1853 passengers and crew, and nu-
merous other instances are on record
of wrecked vessels from which a soil
tary survivor lived to tell the tale.
Possibly the two most remarkable
cases Of single man escaping from an
overwhelming disaster are those Of
Doctor Brydone, who alone reached
safety of the 3,4S0 soldiers and 10000
camp followers who set out on the re-
treat from Cabul in 1912; and Of ne
gro prisoner, confined in an under
ground cell at st. Pierre, who alone
out of the 10000 inhabitants survived
the destruction of the city by the erup-
ton of Mont Pelee in April, 1902.

Henesey called a physician, who hap

door. But of a sudden she paused with
fingers resting nerveless upon half
drawn bolt, eyes wide with apprehen-
sion, and her face robbed Of all that
gracious color with which sleep had
imbued 1t. For an instant she stood
so, In doubt and hesitation, listening !;
then, as If treasured, she drew the bolt
clear and opened the door.
This act disclosed two figures wait
ing beyond the threshold-a luggage
laden steward and lady Of abundant
person and post-mature years. in a
gown not three days out of the Rue de
la Paix.
'T'm sorry" the girl apologized,
standing aside. II was quite sound
asleep, and couldn't seem to wake up"
"But 1t Is I who am sorry to have
disturbed you" With a nod and a
smile of acknowledgment, the speaker
sailed grandly into the stateroom, a
somewhat overpowering Presence.
Submitting perforce to the necessity
of travelling without privacy, Miss Car
teret hadn't bargained for the company
Of dOwager duchess; and this Pres
ence bodied forth every redoubtable
inch Of that high estate. Her sixty
years were quick with the spirit of
forty. She wore her nose with the
high, patrician bridge. A makeup of
most excellent discretion supplemented
charms by no means hopelessly passee.
An impeccable taste in dress achieved
a sobriety to suit her age, while escap-
ing gloom and stiffness. There were
evidences of vigorous temper, domi-
mated by a lively appreciation Of the
humorous, an invincible self-confidence,
seasoned acquaintance with the
world, and a devastating curiosity-a
handsome figure, personality to be
reckoned with.

less through accident of matrimony.

that, If dragonish, she was most prob

FALLS HEAVIEST ON farmer
Modern Warfare Said to Make Great
est Claim on Those Who Are
TiIiers of the Soil.

Investigators having in view the in
terest of the farmer as a class make
claim to the discovery that modern
warfare bears heaviest upon the tillers
Of the soil and not, as popularity sup
posed, upon the factory hand. In the
trenches on the French front 60 per
cent Of the soldiers are small farm
erS and only IL per cent are Industrial
workers. This is due to the fact that
the newer weapons, the quick-firing
cannon, the machine guns, the maya
zine rifle, the gigantic howitzer and
the bomb throwers demand highly Or
ganized and efficient factories. So do
the drafts for clothing, steel helmets,
concentrated foods and other supplies.
1t takes several active and expert
workers at home to maintain one sol
der in the field. The farms can be
cared for by the old men, the women
and the children. Therefore the army
organizers are Selling the farmers and
eXempting the more valuable factory
employees, both statements, of course,
being relative.
What is true Of France in this re-
spect is equally applicable to England
and Russia and the other allies Of the
progressive type. The extent of the
exemption in England alone is shown
by the recent announcement that con-
scription would be applied to men fit
for military duty excused previously
to perform other work. This draft, it
was said, would produce 1,250,00O SOL
diers. Agricultural leaders, possessed
Of these rather astonishing facts, are
beginning to spread the information
among their followers as part of a
propaganda against militarism. Quick
and forceful protest may be expect
ed, as the American farmer is not
prone to keeping silent when his in
terests and his own skin-are imperiled.

Odd Names of Submarines.

Everyone knows what submarines
are, and what an important factor they
have become in modern naval warfare.
Their nomenclature Is rather interest
ing. In the United States navy the
first Of these crafts were named for
various kinds Of fish and reptiles, and
we had such odd cognomens rs "Ad-
der" "Moccasin," pike" "Sturgeon."
SHARK" Carp" "Haddock," etc., on
the naval lists. Before this list of
piscatorial names ran out the system
was changed, and designations of Al,
Az, b., b., ETC., down to the more
recent submarines authorized In 1915,
known as the o class. IN general, the
numbers applied correspond to the par
ticular lot In which they were con-
structed. and the letters closely follow
the number Of years since they were
first built. In Germany they are all
known as U-boats, the u being the first

First Motion Picture.

The motion picture is more than fifty
years old, II we understand by that
term any device for producing the OPP

toys were called by various names
such as thaumatrope. zoetrope. strobo-
scope, phenakistoscope, sterescopic
cabinet, kinematoscope, etc. The first
exhibition Of Photographic motion pic
lures was made by Henry Heyl, in
Philadelphia, in 1870.
