That health is wealth not only to the individual but also to the com munity is becoming more and more 8 recognized fact. Much of the well fare work of the world is seeking to conserve the health of women and more study has been given to the female form divine" than ever be- fore in the history of the race.
 Some few years ago there was more or less of an outcry against corsets- and it may be remarked in passing, justly so. At the time of the crusade against them tight lacing was the fashion and an ''hour-glass-w waist" was the desired and achieved effect secured, no matter what the discom- fort.
 However, the corsets of this day and time. Properly fitted corsets today leave the observer in doubt as to whether they are being worn or not and the wonder grows of how the artistic outline can be achieved with out this garment being in evidence.
 No less health authority than Sir James Camille, one of the distin- guished London physicians, who has won world wide fame for his skill and medical knowledge, advocates the wearing of corsets by women. He holds that just as in infants great stress is laid on keeping the stomach at an even temperature, which re- suit Is obtained by careful arrange ment of the proper bands, so corsets keep women's body at an even tenn

perature and thus preserves her health.
 Sir James holds that if only health is to be considered corsets should be worn, but in addition to this he com- | ments on the fact that a more grace 1, full outline is secured and comfort, l health and style are all assured the wearer of the proper kind of corset. i
 Dr. D. Nj. Dunn, head of the wo-j mems department of the Life Exten- ! sion Institute, discussing corsets says: l
 '"The wrong corset is Q subtle enc my, which emphasizes all the bad features Of posture and encourages the slump which is injurious to health. But, doctor, what shall I do?' is asked. In exceptional cases it might be safe to say Give up your corsets and strengthen your abdominal mus cles, depend upon them to keep erect and well poised.' But the command would go unheeded by all smart, we'll groomed women to whom the proper hang of a skirt is a social obligation. On the other hand it wouldn't be safe to advise the sudden abandonment of corsets for overweight women, for the woman recently under surgical treatment, nor for the underweight woman, whose muscles are fabby and thinned-out.
 "A corset. which lifts the figure, Individually fitted, worn by a woman who keeps her muscles taut by daily exercise, is a boon to health. Until in some glad hygienic day women assume the perfect posture as a mat ter of course, to wear such a garment is. much better for the average wo- man than to try to do without it."

ENGINEERS TO
 DEVELOP PORT
Best Engineering Brains of Seven Nations With Large Shipping Interests Gath cred at Shanghai, China, to Make Plans.

Shanghai, Dec. S-World famous engineers, representing the best en- gineering brains of the seven countries having the largest shipping interests in the Orient, are here on conference to evolve a final plan to de, elop the greatest port in the Far East in Shanghai, one of the foremost world ports. at a cost of several million dol lars.
 For upward of a decade the Whang- poo Conservatory Board has been making surveys and close study of all conditions concerning the port the lower reaches of the Whangpoo and the estuary of the Yangtze. The pre- Hminary work of this board is being reviewed by the visiting engineers, who will make a final report on the possibilities for future harbor devel- Opment in Shanghai after a careful Investigation.
 Report to Chinese Government.
 Presumably the Conservancy Board will forward it's report to the Chinese Government for consideration, and scheme to carry through the recom- Inendations will then have to be evolved.
 Major-GeneraI VIM. Black, former ly Chief Engineer of the United States Army and now retired is the Ameri- can member of the Consulting En- gineering Committee. He has arrived in Shanghai and is meeting with F. Palmer, British representative, who is Consulting Engineer to the Port of London Authority; P! G. Hornell, Chi nese representative, Consulting En- gineer of the Hydraulic Engineering Bureau, Stockho1m; P. Ott de Vries, Dutch member, until recently Head of Public Works, Netherlands, and now retired; L. Perrier, French mem Der. for twenty years Engineer on the Suez Canal; Isamu Hiroi, formerly Engineer-in-Chief of Hakodate and Otara Harbor Works and Professor at Tokfo University, Japanese mem Der, and H. von Heidensteam, ex-of- flcio member, Captain of the Royal Swedish Corps.
 Miss General GoethaIs.
 No little regret has been expressed that General George w. BoethalS, who won world distinction because of his engineering feats in the building of the Panama Canal, could not be a member of the Board of Consulting Engineers, but this is tempered by the fact that Major-General Black has consented to act.
 The investigation of the engineers includes @ technical-economica con- sideration of all the technical accom- and cargo-handling) facilities of Shanghai.
 Located twenty miles from the sea, on the Whangpoo River, very much in the position of London on the Thames. and with the approaches to and limit of draft in the harbor at present 28-30 feet, Shanghai must make immediate provisions for a harbor of the future. Unless the harbor is developed and ac- commodations made for the big Pa cific Ocean ships which will be built during the next fifty years, with their probable maximum draft in view, car go must be docked at a Japanese port and reshipped the Shanghai, Or light cred up the Whangpoo to Shanghai from the sea.
