"GIRL OF THE GOLDEN APPLE"
SAYSLEARNTO WALK LNBEAUTY
BY EDITH HYDE.
"The Girl Of the Golden Apple

A correct walking posture is very
important. Nothing tends to do more
harm TO woman's health and beauty
than slovenly walking.
When you rise to walk the whole
body should be thrown into state OF
gentle tension, putting every muscle
which harmonious movement employs,
into vigorous responsible action. In
this way every limb and part OF the
body will be so perfectly balanced that
there will be no strain anywhere.
Keep the abdomen well in-and
even a portly person can do this with
the exercise of little will power. The
shoulder, hip, and ankle joints should
be upon line; the chest held high,
the head erect.
OF course deep breathing must &c
with walking. If the lungs be proper
~ inflated, this act alone gives TO the
body a buoyancy greatly increasing
and lessening the exertioa OF walking.
Don't dawdle along. Walk with a
free, easy and bold step. Don't shut
fle along on the heels. At each stride
spring off lightly from the ball OF the
foot. Don't roll the hips. This is not
only unhygienic but vulgar too.

GERMANY WITHOUT A FRIEND
Nation Stands Alone in the World, Seemingly With No One to Mourn
 for Her.

One cannot help wondering what could have been the emotions of the German agents in Spain when they read the dispatch sent by King Alfon- so to President Poincare. Those agents have worked hard through all these years of the war and spent money InvishIy to make and keep Spain the friend of Germany. They can claim with some show of truth to have kept her neutral, but now, in the day of Gernany's humiliation, she gets no sympathy from the Spanish king. h. stead, he telegraphs to the French president enthusiastic congratulations on the victory of the allies, and calls the result achieved the reaching of "the end of this glorious epic of the French army and nation, which have shown us all," he adds, ''what bravery and patriotism mean"
 Alfonso says "us all," and TO Span iard protests. so they must join not only in the kings felicitation of Ger many's enemy but also in the Implied denial that Germany has shown any body what bravery and patriotism mean.
 Another failure, therefore, must be scored against German diplomacy and propaganda. Is 1t the hundredth or the thousandth New York Times

FIRST CLEAN UP THE MESS
British Majors Attitude on the War Typical of Most of the Soldiers
 cover There"

GeneraIshIp, heard a chief of staff a knowledge of the mood. the condi- tion and the character of your men. For a week I travelled the British front with a grizzled major of High land regiment, who had been in the game since 1914. We Iunched one day with mingled group of field and tn- telligence officers, a Belgian on lialson work, and a visiting French captain. The talk, which was chiefly upon spe- cialties beyond the range of war, made one fact evtdent-the world of civilian life was more interesting than ever before to these men. They were pas sionately desirous to get back, to "clean up the mess" there. to go on with their broken careers.
 'fHow do you stay So keen on your job here" I asked the major, after ward, ''when you are more weary of war than they are at home?"
 He flushed little, British fashion. Have to clean up this mess, first" he answered.

SOCIAL REFORMS
 BEST SOLUTION

Paris, Wednesday. March 12-'If Germany succeeds in crushing BoI- shoyism at home, it will cause 1t to decrease in Russia, since Bolsh evism arises from an ideaIist phenomenon which needs success to keep it aIive,'' says Dr. Bernhard Dernburg, former colonial secretary of the German gov crnment and at one time unofficial mouthpiece for Emperor William in the United States, in an interview at Weimar published in the Echo de Paris.
 ''1yhen calm is restored" he con tinucs, "Germany will be able to plan economic action to the East to stamp out BoIshevism. Cermany's best plan. in my opinion, would be to go ahead as quickly as possible with social re- forms It must be proved to the German people that their rulers are doing everything possible to relieve them materially and 10 help them to develop temselyes morally and tn- tellectuaIIy.

Anerics's Tin Industry.

While the United States has at- tained q commanding position in the tin plate export trade, it by no means equals that which England had before the war. Data show that while our exports of tin plate have grown from 57, 800 tons in 1913 to more than 233,- GOO ltons in 1917, they even now are less than 50 per cent of England's be- fore the war, and only 8 per cent more than that country's present ex- ports.
 Will this country ever have a tin in dustry of its own? asks the PhiIadeI- phia Inquirer. The American tin-melt- ing industry Is still in the childhood stage. Ore supplies in Bolivia, in South America, are believed to be large. but Bolivian producers are find ing conditions here unsatisfactory for doing business. Only the future can tell whether any relief is possible from this source.

NO DIMMING YANKEE SPIRIT
Soldier In Midst Of Stern Duties of War Found Time to Play Little
 Jokes on Dad.

The Yankee spirit in the midst of the carnage aud trayaiIs of war is exempHfed in q letter written two weeks before the signing of the armis- tice "to Edwin c. Brandenburg, for mer president of the Washington board of trade, by his son, Sergt, Milton F. Brandeuburg, who has been in France a year. Dark forebOd- ings flashed through the mind of the father as he read through the episte until he came to the last sentence. The letter reads:
 'I dislike very much to have to write this letter to you, but the time has come when I must ask your ad- vice on q matter of great importance to me- the complication of which has caused me nights of restlessness and many q day of anxiety.
 You will understand when I tell you that many a happy home has been wrecked. and In fact even human lives upset by similar troubles, and that ig why I haven't written you about 1t before, but now I feel that you should know at once, Gs 1t means such q great deal to me
 Even though I am in France, I dare not communicate the state of my mind to any of my friends here, so go to you. know I am asking a good deal of you, but your loyalty more than warrants it and I am go- ing to ask you and expect you to tell me from deep down in your big heart if you think that Jeff will ever be as tall as Mutt?"
