And a Good Time
Was Had

Officers atithe heads Of the departments
told me that they noticed the difference
IN the girls who were taking the exercises
and drills. Their brains worked with pre-
cision and accuracy; they grasped ideas
more quickly; they did their work with
greater ease and less effort; they sat bet
Ter at their typcwriters; they brcathed
better
One woman in charge Of several hundred
girls told me that her girls were happier
and required less discipline. Certainly the
girls had good time, and good, jolly.
wholesome time is good for the morale Of
anaD woman.
We accomplished so much by the outdoor
exercises last summer that we decided To
give the opportunity to every woman in
America. We are making large plans for
: the establishment OF recreational caaps for
women. We are going to make an oppor-

ME poet was prepared to become I'M
mortal. His lodgings were in per-
A feet order, for his landlady had
swept all of his manuscripts into
the garbage pail and his creditors had re.
moved all of his furniture.
AS he sat contemplating the great toe Of
his right foot, which protruded through
hole in his shoe, the poet decided to write
poem which should unbar for him the
shining gates of Heaven This was a de-
cision of great consequence for the world
for the poet had never before wanted to 60
to Heaven.
He smoothed a piece of brown wrapping
paper on his knee, sucked the stub Of
pencil and prepared himself to be swung
on the wings of song in the realms of moth
ingness that are between Draco and Sirius,
through the Very Gates.
Precisely at the moment when the BLESSED
Damozel leaned to him from her bar and
her whisper was mingled in an ecstasy with
the touch of her lips on his brow, there
came a knock on the door
Damn muttered the poet, as he stopped
sucking his pencil. who's there% be
called.
The door swung slowly open and there
stood, framed in the doorway, the bewiteh-
ing figure of Lady.

"Ah," said the poet, sliding of bis
packing box, "you."
The Lady cast glance at the scamy walls
of the room, its dusty window. the bare
floor. Then she walked to the packing box
and sat upon it.
"You were leaving your lodging withou'
letting me know" she said reproachfuy.
Yes said the poet
"Where were you going, them"
ITO Heaven" said the poet, vainly trying
to recall the Blessed Damozel who. ct ths'
moment, was putting up the shutters OF Nc
shop and frownng at him.
'"And might have come here only to hna

Springing thus into immediate popularity,
the movement spread until in just a few
years there were 12O Of these organizations
in Bohemia and Moravia; the number in

Military
Discipline

These camps will be under regular mill
tary rules, not because we want to initiate
the men or be mannish: God forbid, Per
sonally, / much dislike to see women wear
mannlsh dress or act in a mannish manner
Women can be under strict discipline and
still be womanly. But we believe the
definite military discipline is as good for
women as it is for men. We need it,
We arc going to take a pride in being
well and we going to learn how to keep
we'll.
The girl who writes me she has "a pain

The Ounce of
-
Prevention

This principle of maintaining the health
through outdoor exercise is the one on
which Admiral Cary 7. Grayson, President
Wilson's physician, has worked with such
fine results. By applying the laws for the
maintenance of health he has kept the Presi-
dent well during his strenuous and
responsibility throughout the war period.
It's better to spend money to keep
people we'll and happy than to spend it to
cure disease.
1t is estimated that in one year California
spends $20O0,O00 in the cure of preventable
disease. We can cut down the percentage
Nyof disease by building the vitality to re-
-sst it,
sN The United States Training Corps was
formed on the White House lot in Washing
ton last summer. The housing condition
was bad women were leaving Washington
by thousands because of this. The War De-
partment estimated that the government
was losing approximately s5oOO,O0O year
in training for a few weeks these women
who then went home
- All sorts of welfare work was started,
and, realizing what the setting-up exer-
ciscs and military drills in the open had
done for the morale as well az for the
physical wellbeing of our men, the War
Department invited me to Washington to
give setting-up exercises and military
drills to the women war workers.
The result was that $500 women drilled
on the White House lot Immediately after
Office hours two days week Different de-
partments of the government detailed Off
GERS to assist me. These officers gave the
military drill and the setting-up exercises,
which ! adapted to the needs Of women.
arranged the exercises so they could exer-
else in their regular Office clothing. One
reason why women do not get more exer-
else is because it takes a woman some time
to change her clothing and get to the drill
ing field. Women az well as men are
pushed for time.
There is just one clothing regulation
which l enforced, and that was that no

You know the body is building new ma

we were yesterday. Let's stamp tho neS-
material with healthy thoughts and actions.
Don't you remember chow men at sixty
five. seventy and seventy-fve years went to
Plattsburg at the beginning Of the war and
after few weeks of training came out feel
ing like young boys?
49, Plans are now under way which will
mean more the health of womanhood than
anything America has attempted.
One thing we are going to gain out of all
of this war holocaust, this sorrow, this SUI
ferng, is determination to raise the health
standard of America. We know how we have
built the health of men by camp life, and
while this method is fresh in minds,
before the camp equipment is dissipated
we are going to make it health asset as
well.
When our men were examined for the
army hundreds of thousands of them, rated
physically imperfect, passed 100 per cent eff
iicient after few months regular setting
up exercises and training in camps. The
young man who did not pass 100 per cent
began to take an inventory Of himself; he
began to ask, "Why not?" Then, American
like, his next question and action was to
find out and do the thing to make himself
well.
