LONDON GIRLS MORE GRACEFUL
 THAN BROTHERS
Devotees of The Dance They Acquire Poise
 Quickly.

London, Oct 4-London girls are graceful and generally walk better than their brothers because they are fond of dancing, according to the medical officer of the London County Council.
 Teaching of dancing in the public schools has no doubt greatly helped. if it has not saved the situation in regard to the physical development of London girls,' said the medical of ficer. Particularly noticeable is the much better arched instep of the girls in comparison with their own broth CTS and with country children gen orally.
 The relative absence of fIat-foot thus brought about is the foundation of that grace of carriage which the typical London girl of the elementary schools exhibits. In the country schools no dancing is taught, nor do the children there enjoy those outside stimuli tC ar interest in dancing which are characteristic of London life.''

CAPTURED GOODS OF RED GROSS
 90 ID RUMANIA

Budapest, Oct. 1. = Thousands of tons of American medical supplies, captured in Rumania by the Hun garian army in 1917-191S, and re- captured by the Rumanians upon their occupation of Budapest, will soon be on their way to Bucharest, the Rumanian capital
 The supplies, consisting of a train load of huge cases, were shipped via Nladivostok in 1916, this being the only route then open to Rumania. Many of these supplies belonged to the American Red Cross, which was driven out of Rumania up the Austro- Hungarian invasion of 1917. The re n2 2inder were sold to the Rumanfan army by American drug firms.
 Despite the fact that the typhus was raging in Rumania at the time and these supplies were desperately needed by the civilian population, the Austro- -Hungarians loaded every case, particularly American instruments and hospital goods, on their booty trains which left Bucharest almost daily.
 Together with these supplies went the equipment of every hospital and pharmacy in Rumania, the population being left to get along as best it could.
 Upon the discovery of these sup plies, in warehouses in Budapest, the part that belonged to the American Red Cross was immediately turned over to it by the Rumanian army.
 Captain Melvin NJ. Knight, an American Red Cross man, of WorCes- ter. Mass who was with the Ru- manian army became custodian. They are now. being shipped back to Bu- charest.

sustain.
