two only.
More would be TOO much, The heart

after so brief a dip the body of a per-

portion Of the southwestern United

American continent on the Gulf Of
California that Is little known and

The Bay Of st. George marks the
northern limit OF deep water In tho
Gulf Of California, and when its new
harbOr is connected by short spur
of track with the railroad already in
existence, there will be an all-water
outlet through the Panama canal to
eastern United States for the mines Of
Arizona. Once, just after the Civil
war, the people Of the Arizona mines
had all their supplies brought them
from California by water, the ships
steaming down the California coast
up the Gulf and the Colorado river
to Yuma, and now 1t seems that the
old method of handling their products
will come into vogue again.

his headquarters, the colors were
formally handed over by Lieut.. Gen.
Sir Alfred Codrington. colonel of the
Coldstream guards. They were ac-

AMERICAN GIRLS NOT so BAD
Our FIappers May Smoke, but They
Did Not Start the "Fad," is
the Defense

1t would be deplorable if all Ameri-
can girls, or the average American
girl, or a majority Of American girls,
or considerable proportion Of Amer
lean girls, could be described truth
fully as an English novelist describes
the American girl:
Unbalanced, cigarette smoking, I'M
disciplined morsels Of sex. Turing men
to find new lips to he kissed"
There are "undisciplined morsels Of
sex" as there were when Salome
danced before Herod and That's ac-
companied Alexander the Great upon
his Asian marches, comments the
Louisville Courier Journal. One re-
members Salome and That's without
having heard of the millions of their
contemporaries who knew how to
knead and bake and sweep and make
swaddling clothes.
One 'undisciplined morsel of sex"
gives her Set In jaundiced eyes, its
standing. BY the exception, as often
as otherwise, is proved the type that
rules.
DenunciatiOn sometimes serves the
ends Of publicity to a certain class Of
writer's. But while denouncing the
American girl as very forward
March chick how could any one charge
the American girl peculiarly with
smoking cigarettes?
White women-squaws had the hab-
1t before America was discovered
first smoked tobacco in England and
France. When this country was a
wilderness, with the white settlers
hacking with their axes at its edges,
London women of fashion were smok-
ing pipes in places Of public enter
tainment
The modern revival of smoking by
women began, American women are
assured, in England. Twenty years
ago the astonished American CORE
spondent cabled the news that British
debutantes smoked cigarettes "openly"
at the Ascot races.

ALL NEED LiC7E EXERCISE
British Surgeon Advises Americans to
Devote at Least One Day
Week to 1t.

Spend one day Of the week in
thought, and one day In exercise,
and you will be able to put seven days
work into the other five"
That is the creed of Sir Harold
Stiles. regius professor of clinical
surgery Of the University Of Edin-
burgh and representative of the Royal
College Of Surgeons to the American
College of Surgeons, which recently
met In annual convention in Philadel-
phia.
Sir Harold learned of the statement
made by Sir James Camille, a London
surgeon, that "old age is just pose
We only begin to live at forty-five.
Down with the gospel Of folded hands, u
Sir James is seventy years old. For
fifteen minutes every morning he
dances the Highland fling and the
sailors hornpipe.
AS result, passion of exercise
has taken hold Of the older heads of
London, and Sir James is leading
groups in calisthenics in all quarters
OF the city.
Sir James Cantlie's campaign "for
physical Jerks for young men Of more
than 80 and young wOmen-say more
than 40'-brought smiles of approval
from Sir Harold Stiles.
"Exercise-why it's the greatest thing
in the world.
you Americans are too fat. The
ordinary American as l have seen him
is far more robust than the average
Englishman, not because you exercise
less but because you eat more"
Sir Harold is an earnest champion
of golf. IF did not exercise one day
out of the week, could not get along
the rest of the time" he said.
Americans are waking up to the pos
sibilities Of exercise, Sir Harold be-
lieves. He has visited this country

TELLS ALL ABOUT AlRPLANE
Explanations Of the Mystery Of Fly
Ing, Made for the Benefit Of
the Unlnitiated

The airplane is being used more and
more today for travel, so, If you want
to know about the latest means Of
transportation, you want to know
something about the airplane and fly
ing remarks writer in the Christian
Science Monitor.
Instead of driver, you call the
man who handles the plane a pilot.
When the pilot wants to start the en-
CINE or motor in the plane, he pulls
on the propeller in front just as you
would pull to crank an automo-
bile. and when he gets the propeller
spinning, then the motor is ready for
flight.
The pilot always rides several hun
dreG feet on the ground before he
goes up in the air. He always tries
to start flying in the face of the wind
instead Of with It.
Do you know what is meant when a
plane skids In the air? The pilot has
not tipped his airplane enough in max
ing turn or circle and the plane goes
along level instead of following the
turn. Slipping is just the opposite of
skidding, for then the aviator has
tipped his plane too much to one side
and it actually slips or falls dis
lance before he can right it.
A monoplane is an airplane that has
one plane or wing, biplane has two
and triplare has three. Next time
it is and see what else you can learn
about it.
