What is the exercise most fire.
quently taken by the woman OF
forty? Beyond a doubt it is walking.
Then why not walk like the Greeks
of old, whose every step was a step
toward youth?
The woman of forty who learns to
walk beautifully will walk away from
old age. But how few walk beauti-
fully!
The average woman of today does
not walk at all. She slumps ungrace-
fully downhill into the valley of I'M
natural old e.
l have studied statutes and vases
to learn the walk of the ancient
Greeks, whose physical system was
nature at its best.
Now, the whole secret of walking
consists in carrying the weight
smoothly-so that the entire body
moves in one piece, instead of In
disconnected pulls and jerks. And
this power in turn depends upon the
mastery of balance, which cannot be
attained until the muscles have been
stretched into elasticity-the condi-
ton which I discussed in my last
chapter as tension"
The simplest way to begin is to
hold the body, from shoulder to hip,
quite still while walking. CARRY

the head enormously influences the
buoyancy of the whole body.
Ordinarily women walk with head
hanging forward. This a a dia-
phragm crumpled up, waist muscles
lax, and a general settling down into
the hips as an egg settles into an
egg-cup. Such a walk in itself is re-
sponsible for the elderly spread"
which is the thickening of all the
hip muscles. together with the flesh
mess due to continued inaction. A
misuse-that ~bedraggled WEAKNESS
which in itself ean old age.
With head erect body quiet, mus
cles neither rigid nor lax but in that
delightfully."- animated condition OF
cat-like tension, the next thing TO
seek is a smooth and well-balanced
movement. This will be attained by
carrying the body forward at the
same moment as the advancing foot.
Remember hat the feet are
springs; so are the knees. Use these
springs to the full.

an easy, beautiful walk SO long as
heels of the present height are worn
Nothing could be more odious or
more Injurious. We talk about the
Chinese distortion OF the foot; ours
IS as bad, If not worse. 1t Is rare TO
see a beautiful foot that has not had
the big toe BEN and distorted from
the effort to squeeze it into a narrow
pointed shoe.
The high heels condemn TO a

base of the hand.
The normal foot Is quite narrow.
Nature has so arranged that our
longest toe should be on h inner
line of each foot. The Greeks, like
the American Indians, walked with
feet parallel and weight held on the
ball at the base of the big toe.
The shoe should conform to this
by having a long, straight inside line.
leaving the outer pad free to regain
it's natural shape. h smaller bones
should not be made to spread by
bearing weight they were not meant
to bear.
This outer pad constituted the

Arctic NiQhts.

Viewed solely as a matter CT optics,
the arctic night Is as dark as any night.
Explorers in high ATTITUDES say, how
ever. that there are many alleviations
of the obscurity. The stars fash keen

lar succession of phases, the snow sur
face relieves the gloom under condi-

and the aurora borears Is the finest

that their men pass the winter night
without much difficulty If only there

After = week Of lighting the Spar
tacans were defeated. During the
conflict It was reported several times
that DR.. Liebknecht had been killed.
DR.. Liebknecht's arrest followed.
Rosa Luxembourg was formerly
principal ;editoc of the Vorwaerts, the
organ Of the German Socialists. She
twice underwent imprisonment for
freely expressing her view on subjects
connected with the government. She
was consistently opposed to the war
and her writings brought about Grim
inal proceedings against leaders Of the
Socialist party. When the revolution
b.oke out in Berlin she was reputed
10 be the leader Of the most. violent
group Of Socialists. Later she sec
'onded DR.. L~iebknecht in his efforts to
organize the spartacus element. al
though she strenuously opposed DR..
Liebknecht's proposal that elections
for the national assembly be held at
once.
When the Spartacus. uprising grew
to open rebellion against the Ebert
government she played Al important
part in urging the revolutionists to
attack the government troops. When
it was evident that the cause, at least
for the time being. was lost, she was
reported to have left Berlin. Her ar
rest was reported on Tuesday.

Had Turbulent Career.

Karl Paul August Friedrich Lieb-
knecht vas born at Leipsic on August
10. 1871. After being graduated from
the University Of Leipsic he entered
politics as a Socialist. He, was a radi-
cal opponent Of the militarist policies
Of Germany from the first Of his po-
Htical career and this attitude brought
about his trial on . charge Of high
treason in 1907. following the appear
G OF an anti-military pamphlet
written by him. The charge of high
convicted OF a less serious count and
sent to prison for 18 months.
DR.. Liebknecht visited America in
1910 and lectured in New York during
his stay in that city.
In 1912 he was elected to the Ger
man reichstag from Potsdam, and the
next year caused q furore in Germany
by bringing charges against the
Krupps. saying that that organization
was inspiring var spirit against the
French. He continued his attacks
and in the course Of the debate
mentioned Emperor William and the
alleged conspiracy centering around
the Krupps. As a result of his reve-
lations several army officers were con-
victed Of accepting brides from the
Krupps.
When the great war broke out DR..
Liebknecht refused to do military
duty, He was later found in the ranks
Of an engineer battalion on the~Rus-
sian front, where in December, 1915,
he was seriously injured by a falling
tree.
Although in the German army, he
did nj a his attacks against the
Yoi1ttop III o1,c<n~ nv NEn1p 1or0 l..
was arrested for making an incendiary
address. After trial he was sentenced
to prison for thirty months. On re-
trial he was sentenced to jail for four
years and one month.
Jail Didn't Silence Him.
This sentence resulted in grave dis
for DR.. Liebknecht's release. while in
prison. he continued to write articles
which were given ~clandestine circula-
ton among the Socialists Of Germany.
One of his pamphlets accused the Ger
nan government of being guilty OF
bringing on the war. During his i'm
prisonment he was elected to the
reichstag from Spandu.,
After being in prison two years and
two months he was released in-1918.
In the political cataclysm that de-
veloped in Germany early in Novem-
Der resulting in the a%bdication Of EN-
peror William. his fight and the es.
tablishment of a Socialist government
DR.. Liebknecht played a prominent
part. He became leader Of a radical
Socialist faction known as the Spar.
tacus element. Rumors came to the
world that a terrorist revolution was
imminent and this developed late in
December. The rising tide Of radical.
ism reached its crest during the first
week Of January. when the Spar.
~tacans came into armed conflict with
troops loyal to the Ebert government
