Jobs that would bring sure and immediate re-

When they lost their jobs they were broke.
But the Gregories kept their noses to the

Naturally, the American boy ought to aspire

Weak Women.

The physical shortcomings of the men of
the nation were revealed by the selective serv-
ice draft A similar agency for revealing the
health status of women would be as little fat
tering recent Red Cross bulletin says this
On the subject:
Before women can hope for industrial
equality with men they must make decided
effort to raise their appallingly low physical
condition. A recent survey Of representative
group of women made by the Life Extension
institute of New York city showed hardly one
that was not affected with weak heart, an
undeyeloped chest and bad posture, bad con-
dition of the nose and throat and chronic con-
st1pation and headaches. Yet they considered
themselves well and ready for their work.
Most of them might have remedied their con-
ditions by changing their habits Of dress and
taking more exercise
Showing that if women are to broaden their
lives in accordance with their modern oppor
tunities they must strengthen their bodies to
meet the strain. Fortunately the ways for do
ing this are simple, inexpensive and accessible
to every woman, but first must come the indi-
vidual realization of the necessity for improve

Automobile Stealing.

Automobile thefts in New York city re-
ported by the police department or the six
months ended Aug. IA reached total of 2,401
cars, with an estimated value of $2,434, 900. In
the three weeks from July II to Aug. stolen
numbered 400. Thus what was only re-
Gently struggling infant industry, sideline
OF thievery, has blossomed out under favoring
influences into organized commerce. The
midsummer figures are particularly encour-
aging; even those who are not impressed by
the stealing of $2,50O,OO0 worth of motor cars
in six months must regard the present rate
as promising in the extreme. This makes the
automobile almost lucrative an object Of
larceny as silks or jewels or company payrolls.
How many of the thieves are in Jail? 1t
would be pity of course to interfere with this
fourishing industry at a time when so much
effort is directed to the revival of business
and when examples of illicit prosperity
have their psychological influence. But has
not the wholesale thievery gone about far
enough? AS it exists today in defiance of the
law and in contempt Of police vigilance it is

Deserving of State Aid.

Having seen, and having been thrilled with
the Mississippi Valley fair and exposition at
Davenport last week, The Argus, although it
speaks from outside the state of Iowa, feels
that it may add it's endorsement to the claims
of a Davenport paper that another year the
great enterprise. which has been so success
fully conducted for two years. should be given
aid by the Iowa legislature.
The Davenport paper referred to holds that
the Mississippi Valley fair, like that at Sioux
City, having extended its scope beyond that of
a county exhibit, should participate in the an
nual appropriations made by the Hawkeye
legislature for the Iowa state fair at Des
Moines.
This, it would seem from this distance, at
least, is a most Just contention. The Missis-
sippi Valley fair not only exceeds the proper
tons of county fair. but it is greater in all
respects than the average district fair It is a
big fair, and big affair, initiated and oper-
ated on a magnificent scale. OF it Davenport
and contiguous territory may well be proud
The Argus has only cheers for the Missis-
sippi Valley fair and exposition and its
\ promoters.

The Railroad Decision.

While the railroads were accorded relief on
some points, Saturdays decision of the railroad
board as a whole was a victory for the men.
1t emphasized their right to certain things
which the companies have been questioning.
There is effort of the railroad companies
that it is not believed will meet favor, and
that is the movement to have their shop work
done by outside private concerns, instead Of
in their own shops. Carried to the limit this
would signify the closing Of hundreds OF rail-
road shops in the country and throwing Of
large numbers of competent mechanics out of
work. 1t would mean the severance of this
department of shop work from the railroads.
This would have a disastrous effect on
many cities where there are large railroad
shops engaged in repair and manufacturing
lines. We fail to see where the companies
would gain. 1t is not wholesome for them
to attempt to evade the rulings of the board
by an undetermined and surreptitious method
The board has constituted the eight-hour day
and has sustained important national agree
ments, and the letting of shop work to private
concerns that work their men long days and
that pay little attention to the national safe
guards that laws throw about working people
would be serious mistake on the part of the
companies. 1t is hoped that the companies and
the alike will accept the decision of the
board in good faith and that there will be
frankness in the conduct of their mutual
affairs.

Quitting Business.

Surprising proof of its discernment is Of
fered by the Austrian government 1t seems
TO have come to the conclusion that in its pres
ent situation it has no need of arsenal, and
has disposed of the Woellersdorf plant, one
of the largest armament manufactures in
Europe, to a syndicate that plans to devote it
to peace time products-plows maybe. In thus
retiring from the war business Austria is clos
ing career that shows just about total loss
On an entire investment. After something like
a thousand years devoted to the pursuit of mil
itary enterprise Austria energies with a ter
ritory less than sufficient to provide the city
of Vienna with garden truck. You can hardly
blame a government for deciding, on looking
that situation over, that if Austria has any tall
ent at all 1t is not for war making. The re-
maTkable thing is that no previous Austrian
government was Impressed by that fact, al
though it has been apparent for at least hun
dred years.
II Austria had retired as military power
after Napoleon had demonstrated to her that
the military art was not in her line-and Ans
tria was the first power to which Napoleon ac-
corced that polite attention-she would be con-
siderably better OF today. If she had quit
then and devoted herself exclusively to the
production of Danube waltzes she might now
be enjoying prosperous old age
-No"' century or more TOO late, she puts
up her last arsenal at auction and announces
a purpose to go into some other line. 1t is a
wise If tardy decision. The Hapsburgs never
would have reached it. When all else was lost

has beenslost-the Hapsburgs held on to their

The Daily Shert Story

one of the hotel guests. He was 4
clean-cut, athletic young man, a fine
| dancer and delightful companion,
and Alta was filled with amaze
ment and envy, as he ignored her
| charms and devoted himself to
Milly. The emile came back to
Milly's lips, the light to her eyes,
and the boys who had deserted her
for the movie actress began to wish
| that fellow HALF would give some
one else a chance to escort Miss
Osborne occasionally.
Look here said Harold one ev-
ening, in an aggrieved tone, Il never
get a word with you now"
Our dance, Miss Osborne" in
terrupted the mellow voice of Stan
ley Hall, and they drifted away to-
gether, leaving Harold in a very bad
humor.
Late that evening Stanley had left
MIlly in a secluded corner of the
piazza and gone in search of her
wrap. Presently from an open win
dow came the low toned CONVERSE
ton of Alta and Harold.
of course I'm not certain" said
Alta, but it struck me as queer
from the first that Mr. Hall couldn't
see anyone but MiIly Osborne. And
now this letter from Bob says one of
the professors asked him if he
would like to go to a hotel and de-
vote himself to a young lady. Bob
told him he could be hired to do al
most anything, but when it came to
beauing girl around he preferred
to make his own choice Mind you,
| don't say Mr.. Hall made any such
bargain, but he and Bob go to the
same college, and, anyway, Bob's
letter has set me thinking"
They moved away from the win
dow and Milly fled to her room.
Locking the door, she tore off her
pretty finery and paced up and down
the room in a perfect agony of hui
initiation. Could she ever, ever face
those people again? All those
hours that had been such happy
ones for her had been for Stanley
only matter of business. He had
played mis- part well; indeed, lately
he had assumed quite loverlike at
titude, and she, poor dupe, had i'm
agined it genuine.
Suddenly it occurred to her that
she had promised to go motoring
with Stanley the next forenoon.
Well, she would go and tax him with
being hypocrite, and after that
she would never willingly speak to
him again.
Tired out, she at length flung her
self upon the bed and slept in utter
exhaustion. Toward noon she
awoke. She arose YEARLY and
dressed with more than usual care
IN a pale lavender organdie which !
deepened the blue of her eyes and |
made more brilliant the gold of her |
hair. Stanley was lounging rest
lessly about the piazza when at |
length she made her appearance.

Regimen for Stout Women.

Regimen for Stout Women.
So many, many women-not to
drag in the men-begin soon after
80 digging their graves with their
teeth, which is a famous aIlegory
but an unfortunate one, from our
present physiological point of view,
for in truth life is shortened because
we do not make enough use of our
teeth. 1 dare say the modern food
manufacturer, who takes it upon
himself to remove every factor or
element of the food that he deems
human consumption, is more to
blame than are our teeth for the
short race SO many OF US run. The
food manufacturer or manipulation
calls this purifying" the food;
call it mollycoddling the food. For
example, the food manipulation takes
wholesome thing like wheat and
removes the iron, the phosphorus,
most of the other mineral salts or
elements, and the vitamins, and sells
what remains under the pleasing
name of refined white flour-which
makes but a sorry staff of life to
lean on. He similarly maltreats
rice and sells what remains as a
suitable food-and it is suitable for
the production of such grave nutri-
tional disorders as beriberi (nulti-
pie neuritis). Brown rice (unpol-
ished rice) is suitable for healthy
people to eat; polished rice is not.
These and many other harmful pro-
cesseS which the food manipulation
deems essential are more or less
calculated to discourage the natural
process of mastication. And it is
too easy to forget that the chief part
of digestion occurs in the mouth.
Prospecting Jewish people in this
country are fond of what they deem
good living. They are great eaters.
DIR. Joslin, who made an extensive
study of diabetes, holds that over
eating is the chief cause of that
grave functional disorder. He cites
the incidence of diabetes among
Jewish people in America-and it's
prevalence among them is well
known. He calls attention to the
marked tendency toward obesity
among Jewish women particularly,
and l think it is true that Jewish
women of the prosperous class in
America hate exercise about as
much as any class in the world The
outcome is inevitable-too much
food, too little exercise, obesity.
This seems unfortunate, for as a
class Jewish women are blessed
with great physical beauty and, by
reason of their religious adherence
to hygenic law, with fine health be-
sides. They make ideal mothers.
1t is nothing less than tragic that
they should so neglect their phys
ical education.
Any woman who reluctantly real
ICES that she is growing too stout
or corpulent about the middle of
her body-that is, about the hips,
thighs, buttocks and abdomen
must understand. first, that the cor
set is chief factor, though it has
never been worn tight-fitting. and
second, that use of the very muscle
groups which the corset renders
practically useless will prevent and
remove the fat deposits which not
