PRETTY ARMS

TIP TO the age of eighteen or nine
~ teen, a girl need not worry IL her
arms are toe thin or too fat-unleSs
they are an extreme of either con-
1ition-for up TO that time the body
Is maturing, and may easily be too
fat or too thin in itself. And the
arm gains or loses in proportion TO its
weight. Most Of the men who sit by
scales and weigh you free If they can
not guess your weight within few
pounds, take hold of the arm and feel
its size before stating the weight.
The best way to have beautiful arms
is to exercise them. Massage and
creams may help some. but exercise
is certain to develop the lovely lines so
much desired. Plain household tasks

That chump there were some things he
did not know.
lot Of times. too. met kindly folk
Who said-and made me think they did
That was destined for a better place
Than then / held I'm life's uncertain race
For their dear sakes who thus believed
In me
am compelled by gratitude to be
All that / might have been upon this
earth
Had fortune smiled her sweetest at my
birth.
Now those two reasons. and some more
Can't now recall. explain succinctly why

OF my small part In this great mundans
Red Hair.
Some people admire red hair, and
others have It.
Red-headed people are better look
Ing than other people. II they are.
Some are ugly as mud fences
The horse dealer calls red-headed
people sorrel.
The cattle mcn call them Devons or
Durhams.
The hOg-men cal them Durocs.
OrnitholOgists call them woodpeck-
ers.
The dog men call them Irish settlers.
The poultry men call them Rhode
Island reds.
The artists call them Titians.
And there you are.
But all the time there are few peo-
pie around town, including the posses
sor of the pink foliage, who know they
are plain red-heads.
We once knew girl who was so red
headed that the underwriters raised
the Insurance. rate on her fathers
frame dwelling. :
We also knew q young man who
couldn't use anything but asbestos
pillow-cases.
And once when he tried to take an
egg-shampoo the odor Of scorching
omelette was almost unbearable.
This boy finally got job in large
city, standing in a gas-ditch in a busy
street at night and letting his head
stick out.
Red-hesded people are supposed to
be quicker-tempered than other folks.
Our observation Is that this Is ab-
solutely true, except for brown-haired
or black-h haired. white-halred or bald
or tow-headed people.
We do not know why red hair is q
joke.
But 1t is.
Otherwise we should never have
written this and you wouldn't have

Just Folks
LOST ARGUMENTS.

When in my wisdom I have said
That 1t is time to go to bed
Or crossed their Wills with rules and
laws
There comes pout, and then a psusa
And then an argument ensues
In which IL seems always lose.
When I announce that too much pie
Is bad for them, they ask me: "WhyT
And when / start 10 prove my case
They taunt me to my very face,
And in debate, In which they're
strong.
They soon convince me I am wrong.
Time was my judgment they'd ac-
cept
All my commands they bravely kept,
But now they've reached the reasoning
age,
The answering back and questioning
stage;
Their little minds are keen and swift
While helplessly 1 seem to drift.
No mere command with them Will go
The reason why they want TO know.
They wear me out. They argue back
And puncture with their sure attack
The case I've made, It'll with a grin
I end their talk by giving in.
'Twould drive a great logician wild
To argue with a healthy child.
A thinking boy of four or five 49,
Could floor the wisest man alive.
And any bright-eyed little girl
Can set the calmest brain awhiri.
And yet I'm glad those madcap elves
Are daily thinking for themselves.
I'm glad they have opinions strong
On what is right and what is wrong,
And oh, hope, when older grown, -
In life's debates they'll hold their own.

will make the arms beautiful. making
beds, sweeping, kneading bread or
beating cake, are all exercises that
tend to make the arms well developed
Such tasks should be done with quick
movements; sluggish movements are
not exercises at all.
Swimming is good for the arms, OF
course. rowing, canoeing, and all out
door sports will make the arms
pretty. Anything which makes the
arms move quickly in varying direc.
ti6ns, which f1exes and relaxes the
muscles, is a good arm exercise. Hold.
ing the arms doubled up, the hand In
fist, and Tightening the upper arm
muscles, is still another good exercise
1t is such a pleasure to own pretty
arms and to be able 10 wear sleeveless

repaid for any trouble she goes to-

TO FIGHT DUCKS
Says Hunters Delight Is a Pest
and Destroys Thousands of
Dollars in Crops Annually.

c. W. Brown of Calipatria, chair
man of the Duck Control Committee
Of Imperial County Farm Bureau has
written letter to Senator Hiram
johnson, requesting him to present the
case of Imperial Valley farmers to
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, ex-
planning the situation caused by my
rhids Of ducks which winter each year
if the valley. In his letter which is
ftll of interest to all grain and al
falfa growers of the north end, Mr..
brown st.tes:
1 Ever since grain crops were first
sown in Imperial Valley ranchers
have suffered serious losses from dam
'age done by wild ducks. These dam
ages have amounted to many thou
sands of dollars annually and are Of
ten disastrous losses to the individual
on whom they fail.
"Until recently there has been a

ers by night shooting, but since the
Biological Survey has begun the en-
forcement of the provisions of the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act and it's
regulations, even this slight protec-
ton has been removed. In general
farmers here admit the wisdom of
nrotecting ducks, but firmly believe
that they likewise are entitled to con-
sideration. Experts from the Biolo-
gical SURVEY have advised us that the
automatic acetylene exploder is the
most satisfactory method that has
vet been found in other parts of the
country for keeping the ducks from
the field. Conditions in Imperial val
ley are not, in all respects like those
in other localities and on account of
these differences we feel we merit
special consideration here, and accord
ingly we are asking our senator, Sem
ator Hiram w. Johnson to lay The
matter before you and request that
you assist US in securing the needed
relief"
