Made SWay-baCked.

Pittsburgh, Jan. 25.-Declarlng
that the newfangled corsets and crazy
poses of the women of today are
causing them to lose their muscles at
the rate of five to a bunch,' caus-
ing the fair creatures to be sway
backed, knock kneed and knock
armed, Mrs. J. Milton Mensendlck
addressed the Twentieth Century
Club here today. Mrs. Mensendick
also says women are in danger of
losing more muscle, and very impor-
tant ones, if they do not walk more.
"When the disappearing muscles
are gone" said Mensendick, a wo-
mans walk will be frightful sight. "
"At the last dinner of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution,"
she continued, every gown was very
decollete and there was but one wo-
man there whose back was properly
developed. Everybody noticed it
said what queer looking back the
woman had. The back was all right
but it was as rare as bare" "

Implement Men Urged To Co.
operate With Farmers.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2S.-""The old
axiom, 'competion is the life of
trade should now be changed to
cooperation is the life of trade, II"
said Director T. B. Symons of the
State College Extension Service, who
spoke on THE Need of Closer Coop
Grafton Between Implement Men and
Farmers" at the annual meeting of
the Eastern Implement Dealers AS
sociation in the hotel Adelphia this
afternoon.
Certainly this has been empha-
sized in the wonnerful achievements
of industry in this Nation during the
war;" he continued. If there is
any business where through coopera-
ton between the seller and buyer
will promote the welfare of each, it
is between the Implement Dealer and
the farmer. The manufactures cam
not develop efficient farm machinery
unless he is thoroughly acquainted
with agricultural conditions, nor can
the farmer make the most effective
use of such machinery without the
close cooperation and service of the
Implement Dealer"
The pcaker gave sp 'cial emphasis
to the great need of standardizing all
common types oi farm machinery and
eliminating for the most part the
several hundred styles of wagons,
mowers, ETC., that are in vogue at
present. He also urged the imple-
ment men to attend important farm
crs meetings, so as to get the view
point of the men that till the soil.
"We recently called,.sa conference
of Implement Dealers in Maryland to
meet with our State Agricultural So
ciety in Baltimore" he explained.
"There was Joint session on the use
of the tractor. The Implement Deal
ers responded splendidly and the dis
cussion was very helpful to all parties.
| believe this movement will mean
much to our State. The dealers get
an insight into the farmers problems
and the farmers will have more
thorough interest in the implement
dealers and their difficulties.
81 believe the day is very near at
hand when the farmers and imple-
ment dealers in every county will get
together and discuss matters of mu-
tual interest and concern" "
