Chance For 2,OOO
 Youths As Sailors

Washington, Dec. 28-Immediat need for two thousand young men to be trained for service in the Unit ed States merchant marine was an- nounced today by the shipping board. Because of the rapid deliv- eEr on cargo vessels, which are now to be manned exclusively by mer- chant crews, the board said there was an unusual demand for men which must be met within few weeks.
 Of the two thousand men now wanted, fifteen hundred are to take the places of apprentices just sent to sea from ships of the boards At lantic training squadron base at Bos- ton and five hundred for it's Pacific training ship at San Francisco.

FAVE you flat back?
 IT "A back as flat as an 1ndian's''
 Is the old ideal, because the early Americans walked with a dignity which developed a beautiful carriage and con- Sequently produced the symmetrical fiat Jack, which through every phase of the 'debutante slouch." the Grecian bend and all the other distorted poses with which so-caIled ''fashtop'' has afflicted gs. still remains the one logically beau- tiful attribute of perfect physique in Man or woman.
 Rounded backs were obvious in many of our quickly made soldiers. Years of bsnding over books or desks, or years of careless carriage could not be overcome entirely by a few weeks of drill. But lime and work soon won.

difference of about an Inch in your height merely by strengthening out the kinks in your spine. This inch is q very important one, but the added height is the least Of It's benefits. By standing straight you have dattenel your back and thrown your shoulders into their proper position.
 When slurnped down you will find that your abdomen protrudes, your chest sinks in and your neck Is hung forward. As you strive to reach up and bump the stick with your head all these ia ults arc corrected. You straighten out your spine and your chest is raised without further effort,
 When you have straighteHed up ts your greatest height walk about the loom and then come back to tho stick and see if you have maintained tho posture. Try 1t again and go and look in your mirror and note the improvement in your carriage and the position of your back. This stretching Is Natures own exercise.

 But we shouldn't have to depend on Jar tailors for a good back Carriage is the chief factor in developing one.
 What mean by Carriage" can be divided into two elements:
 The first is posture and the second is action.
 By posture is meant the position of the body in standing and sitting. Posture g chiefly matter of the position of the 1,:ne, The position of tho spine Is close y linked with beauty and health.
 Bad posture results i'll three physical ills First. there's strain on your muscles and fragments due to supporting your body in an awkward and unnatural position. Second, there are the evils re- sulting from the dislocation and com pression of the internal organs. Lastly. there are the troubles thst arise in the spine itself.

We are proud that Arkansas has

with her quota for the united war

announce that good many Of the
school districts In Sharp county
have more than raised their quotas
In this ereat campaign, but sorry to
learn that there are q few districts
that have not subscribed anything
yet. We trust that they will Get
busy and attend to this by next
Sunday night, for next week | want
to have published in the Record
The numbers Of the school districts
that have raised their quotas.
Some seem to have the idea that
since the war Is over our boys do
MT need these funds, but in my
opinion they will need the services
Of the different organizations now
more than ever, Even II they did
not, we as citizens Of the greatest

LETTER FROM SIMON NORRIS
Poughkeepsie Boy With The Marines
At Paris Island, S. c.

Editor Record have just re.
ceived a Sharp County Record from
honefolks, and it made me feel
| like | was at home again to read it.
OF course everyone now knows
that the war is over, but civilians
can enjoy that fact much more
than marines, for we work on
steadily, as if the Hun were carry
ing on a great offensive on the
western front. Before | left home
| l had an idea that a soldier had
one of the softest jobs in existence,
for all soldiers seem to have good
times on the outside. But there is
a reason for that. Soldiers in camp
scarcely ever have liberty to great
extent, and when they get on the
outside they seem to overestimate
their freedom.
Camp life is all right if you are
all right, but if you fail to like it, as
some do, you are out of luck, For
me it is a good life, but since the
war is over almost every marine
had rather be at home, for he feels
that he does no one any good while
waiting to be mustered out of SER
vice.
The marine corps surely deserves
the name it has, for the first thing
they tried to teach me was to for
get mercy and to kill men. 1t is
said that non commissioned OF.
iicer in the marine corps has the
power and ability of a lieutenant In
the national army. The first three
things taught to a recruit are, first,
obedience, second, obedience, and
third, obedience. The marine dis
cipline Is more strict than in any
organization of a military charac-
ter in the United States. | have
not seen or heard of o man In the
marine corps from Arkansas, so
you can imagine how familiar ! am
on Paris Island, South Carolina.
Religion is not strictly observed
in the marine corps, but probably
about as much as among many civ
ilians.
| could write much more, but
will close by wishing all Sharp
county people good luck
