Morning Exercise
s. for the Business
Woman

The importance of systematic exer-
else for women of sedentary habits
cannot be overestimated. The hene-
business world, as a rules hr shrd ST
fits derived have a most wholesome
and invigorating effect on the mind,
body and morals.
Successful men and women of the
business world as a rule, take light
form of exercise in the morning on
rising previous to the daily tub.
Moreover, they play outdoors as regu-
larly as they toll within. Their ap-
pearance even in advanced middle age
shows them to be mentally and ply
sically alert and none the worse for
their heavy business responsibilities.
Even human beings must necessarily
have a balance wheel, and no better
medium can be found than that of
exercise of the right kind which pro-
vides the delightful exhilerating eff
fects that follow relaxation from men,
tai strain. The more intense the con-
centration, the longer the hours of
play.
Where the work in hand requires
long hours of sitting or standing, when
the patience is frequently overtaXed,
or where the nerves are kept on ten
sion, the poison accumulated must be
thrown off, and in no better way than
by changing the line of thought into
new channels. Moreover, exercise
stimulates the function of all organs.
Deep breathing is encouraged and a
fresh supply of oxygen is taken into
the lungs, warming and purifying the
blood. The functions of the skin are
increased and perspiration flows
freely.
Many women and girls employed in
department stores and Offices are af-
forded only meagre exercise, except
where at times they are required to
handle such heavy articles as ledger
or a bolt of cloth. And here only GER
tain muscles are brought into play.
The lack of a normal amount Of ex-
ercise is responsible for many disord-
ers. The circulation becomes slug
gish, the liver torpid, the appetite
tickle. The same old headaches fol-
low night and morning. The nerves
are "taut" and usually anemic condi-
ton provides for cold hands and feet.
The contant breathing Of impure air,
owing to imperfect ventilation, i'm
provishes the blood and invites disease
by lowering the vitality.
The daily getting-up exercises will
tend to counteract the celebrating eff
fects of sedentary life and the more
exercise that is taken (within reason)
the greater the desire to continue out
doors.
These exercises should be varied &C
cording to individual requirements. 1t
is the aim to call into play the muscles
that improve the digestion, circulation
and respiration. Those given below
are only few of the many especially
adapted for morning use. which makes
the ideal start for the day when func-
lions of the brain, rather than the
body. are called into constant activity

Novel Mocha 1ical Toy

A novel mechanical toy has been
patented by William Danner, of Ro-
chester, N. Y. It's most essential fea-
ture is a seesaw for couple of dolls,
which is operated by metal balls that
roll down chute, and dropping one by
one into recesses in the periphery of
a wheel cause the latter to revolve
by gravity.
While the wheel drives the seesaw,
causing the rolls to bob up and down
on a pivot, a sort of windmill arrange
ment, geared to the wheel, makes it
revolve at a uniform velocity.

Talking Clock

A clock with neither dial nor hands
but which tells the time satisfactorily
has been constructed by H. Hartmann
of New York City.
1t tells the time with voice, sepak

concern may seem to be and really be
doing remarkably we'll and yet be des-
perately in need of ready funds. When,
to such condition, you must expand,
heavy borrowing is imperative.
1t is not a pleasant story to tell
what happened to Mr.. Durant through
the bond issue his company put out
for the money it required at that time.
1t is sufficient to say that those who
advanced the money made a stupen.
dous profit. Incidentally the company
was put into the control of voting
trust for five years. Mr.. Durant was
one of the voting trust members, but
never in those five years did he par
ticipate in it's deliberations, and when
the five years expired he startled
those who had taken control from him
by coming in at the annual election
and voting majority of the stock.
Some people in Wall Street have
never forgiven him for that
What if he does the same thing
some years hence?
1t is difficult for the average person
to understand how a man so success
full and so wealthy as Mr. Durant could
be caught in such a financial jam as
he was in a few mouths ago and lose
contol of great property. Five years
ago Mr.. Durant was said to have a
fortune of $134,O00,000.
Possibly an explanation can be found
in the project Mr.. Durdant had for the
greater distribution of General Motors
stock. The capitalization of G.. M. is
s., 1000, 100000. There were only 100
stockholders. That was unhealthy.
Mr.. Durant wanted a very wide dis
tribution. He hoped to obtain 100000
stockholders. Possibly he took over
a great block of the stock personally
for this purpose. This seems plausi-
BILE in light of the fact that he organ
lied private company for marketing
securities in small lots. Possibly he
borrowed heavily when he bought
this stock for distribution.
In such a stock market as Wall
street furnished some months ago
values melt astonishingly fast. A man
may be very rich and yet have diff
Guilty in obtaining money to meet the
demands of banks when they call their
| loans. It's a time of sacrifice and
slaughter. Wall street is pitiless in
those periods.
One thing certain is that Durant is
going to continue to be a big figure in
the automotive industry. He is some
thing of an altrust, as is Henry Ford.
He does not indicate where he is going
to have the main plant of Durant
Motors, Inc, further than to say it
will be in the Middle West and it will
be in active operation August next,
re may be very quiet for year or
two, just as he was after the other
affair, but, according to those who
should know, he is coming back.
And if he does come back Wall
street will have no more chance to
play football with him than it has had
with Henry Ford

Perfume Hunters

There seems to be no good reason
why in this country the gathering of
sweet-smelling herbs and flowers for
the perfumery trade might not be
found profitable. 1t has recently be-
come considerable industry in rural
parts of England, a great many women
and children having taken it up.
In April the picking of cowslips
begins, these flowers being in demand
as a cure for sleeplessness and also
for "potpourri" and sachets. Broom
and elder flowers follow, bergamot,
peony petals, rose petals and red poppy
petals bring good prices; likewise rasp-
petals bring good prices: likewie rasp-
thyme.

At this time, when the tire industry
has revised prices to the lowest level
in tire history. the car owner asks,
"Can quality be maintained?"
Firestone emphatically answers
YES! Not only has Firestone quality
been maintained; it has been raised to
the highest point in twenty years of
tire building.
And here is why. Firestone is the
largest exclusive tire company in the
world. 1t is a single purpose organi-
zation. with every employee a stock
holder. directing all its thoughts, la
bors and powers to one objective
the building of the best tire to sell at
price that gives you most miles for
your money.
Two Plants TUo Products--
One Fixed idea
Firestone Tires are made in two
distinct plants Each with a separate
duty to perform. Plant No. 1 builds
the Firestone Cord which now sells at
S46.30 for a 32x4 inch; $3.50 for a
34X41s inch and other sizes in proper
ton. Tire repair men who Judge

900 tires and 10000 tubes may be pro-
duced in a day. In April the output
was 1900 tires a day.
