Nor is it without reason that women
regard fat as the bane OF their existence.
H. is the sign and seal that middle age
oftenest sets upon them. 1t Is the curse

IL is that which takes the bloom OH oi

and causes q woman to walk like ton OF

No wonder, then, that women hate TO
grow stout, and attribute all OF thelf
troubles to it. No wonder that when q
woman at middle age suddenly awakens
TO the fact that her husband has grown
more or less indifferent To her, and that
epople generally exhibit no wild desire Tor
her society. that she beats upon her breast
and cries out that nobody loves lat
woman. and forthwith dashes iorth IN
search OF some method Of melting her too

Perhaps the reason that growing stout
is such a catastrophe to women Is not so
much an increasing belt-measure as a

about the same time OF life that woman

GIANT TREES OVER 1000

SEATTLE. Feb, g. Tops of giant trees, buried, engineers believe, be tween 800 and 1000 years ago in the waters of Lake Washington here, are being removed with wire drags and dynamite as mcnaccS to navigation.

PHYSICAL DEPARTMENT
ON SCIENTIFIC BASIS
Y. W. C. A. Innovation Proves
Value, the Ultimate Aim Be-
ing Health Promotion.

An innovation adopted this fall by
placing of it's physical department
on thoroughly scientific basis, a
move was accomplished largely
through the efforts of Mrs. Helen
Moore. who took charge of the de-
:partment last August.
Not only is a physical examination
by the director prerequisite for
girls desiring to take any of the
courses, but a thorough medical ex-
animation, given by a physician. has
also been made a requirement.
Value Already Demonstrated.
Already the value of the innovation
has been demonstrated, officials of
the physical department state, an
example being the discovery of sew
eral cases of curvature of the spine.
These disabilities might easily have
been accentuated by physical exer--
/ else in the. absence of the medical
examination, while, as it is, owing to
courses of corrective work. it is ex-
pected, will cure them.
| That the local "Y' is now more
+, painstaking in this regard than any
other association outside of New
York and Chicago, is the expressed
belief of Mrs. Moore, who has had a
wide experience. She explains that
| the ultimate aim of her department is
| an increase in the health, vitality and
endurance of those under her charge
J rather than a degree of proficiency
! in certain gymnastic exercises.
Handles Physical Training.
! The "Y's" physical department
which includes aquatics at the big
pool at the E street branch, handles
J the physical training of the pupils
! of several of Washington's largest
and most exclusive schools for girls
and also coaches the girls basket ball
team of George Washington Univer-
Sity.

KEEPING CHILDREN ALIVE.
American Relief Aids 1,4OO,O 900
|. Little Tots in Poland.

Liberty bonds or war savings will
be gladly received as contributions
toward alternating the particularly
distressing conditions of that part
of Europe lying between the Baltic.
Black and Adriatic seas. according to
the National Allied Relief Commit
tee, Inc. which is making determined
efforts on behalf of the starving and
suffering peoples of such countries as
Poland, Serbia and Italy.
Today there are 100000 Polish
children being kept alive by one meal
day of American food, contributed
and administered by American hands,
according to an appeal sent out by
the committee. Thousands more are
pleading for food, and the country is
suffering from one of the worst typhus
epifiemics in history. Serbia's plight
is almost equally terrible. If America
will supply the money, the committee
points out countless thousands of
lives in central Europe can be saved.
Any of these countries can be
reached through the American relief
administration. Every dollar spe-
cially designated for the sufferers in
any specified country will be turned
over intact, according to James A.
Blair treasurer, West 45th street,
New York.

CONGRESS IN CONTROL
OF THE WAR BUILDINGS
Use of Structures by Schools Must
Have Approval of Lawmakers,
Col. Kutz Says.

Approval of Congress would be neces-
sary to permit the use of temporary war
structures in Washington by the public
school system, in the opinion of Col.
Charles w. Kutz, Engineer Commits
sioner.
The Commissioners have received
from Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
of schools, a letter asking the city heads
If they know of any temporary buildings
no longer needed by the federal govern
ment that could be- made available for
classroom purposes until more perma-
nent school space can be provided.
There is federal commission in
charge of alloting office space to the
various branches of the government, and
the Commissioners probably will have to
Communicate with this commission to
get the information sought by Supt.
Ballou.
Congress will convene in less than
two months, Col Kutz pointed out, and
in the meantime inquiry can be made
to determine whether the government
has any temporary structures that could
be converted into classrooms.
