GIRLS HELPED BY DANCING
English Medical Officer of Health
Makes Significant Statement in a
Recent Report.

That twice as many girls as boys
squint is one of the conclusions ar
rived at by Dr. w. H. Hamer, medical
officer of health.
In his report on London school chill
dren. he attributes girls poorer eye
sight to sewing classes in school In
the late afternoon while the light is
at its worst. and when, in the winter
months, artificial light has to be used
Girls, however. according to DR.
Hamer, have better teeth than boys
due to the fact that it is easier to
persuade the former to use a tooth
brush than the latter. Girls suffer,
because of lack of outdoor games and
sports, more than bows from heart de-
fects and anaemia.
But. in spite Of all these disadvan-
tages, the poise and department of Lon
don girls is superior to that of boys.
Country boys and girls both fall short
of the London girl in this respect.
Particularly noticeable is the grace
full arch Of her instep, due to her love
of dancing. This. and the teaching Of
dancing, is said to have greatly help
ed, if it has not saved, the situation In
regard to physical development. Lon

"The Jewels Are Nine"

To this day I've never quite recov-

freshed mind and realized with what
ease De Ravenol had imprisoned Doth
Mrs. Delario and me in our own homes

fear of our very lives!
Monsieur had managed Mrs. Delari0
even better than he had me-he had
merely left a detective in her house
to watch her by day and lock her up
by night. In fact, she'd actually in
vited the detective in proof of her in
nocence; for when monsieur had ac-
cused her of stealing jewels she saw
In her minds eye-just as | did-trin-
