MILITARY PRISONERS
| DO VALIANT SERVICE

LYONS, FANCE, Oct. 11-Handcuff-
ed in pairs and in charge of four gen
darmes, II French military prisoners
enroute for Algeria to serve sentences
ranging from five TO Is years, were
aboard the Strassbourg- Marseilles ex-
press when it jumped the track at Les
Echets a few miles from here. Forty
were killed and 20 injured.
None of the prisoners was seriously
hurt, but three gendarmes were kill
ed, and the others pinned under the
Wreckage, lay seriously wounded
All semblance of authority and or
der had disappeared. The prisoners
were free but, instead of running
away. they pulled the wounded gen.
darmes out of the tangled mass of
wood and iron and laid him on the
grass. During the night they rescued
81 injured passengers. Then they
gave themselves up.
They have since left for Algeria to
serve their sentence, but it is under
stood that the minister of war is
studying the case, and the opinion is
expected that, in due course of red
tape, they will be pardoned.

Of the campaigns launched by the bureau for

assure health to 25,000000 children who are in
the schools. Here is problem that is present in
every home. It's magnitude is apparent in the
large number of children believed to be defective.
The bureau places the number at 100000
Most of the ailments of these children can be
prevented or corrected. To attain this purpose,
the bureau is enlisting the service of every
teacher in the country. The bureau proposes to
make health study fundamental as is the
teaching of arithmetic. Not theoretical instruc-
ton, but practical schooling in the habits of

health SO that child will habitually strive to
keep itself in perfect physical trim.
The school, as system, an organization,
and the teacher as medium, are the agency
through which the bureau hopes to attain the
desired results. 1t seeks to link the parent in
the chain by enlisting his cooperation.
How valuable this asset will be is known to
every teacher If the home will join hands with
the school, defective children will soon be cured
and put on the road to the good health to which
thew are entitled Mothers and fathers, we fear,
sometimes believe that medical examiners in
schools are little too strict and harsh What
an error! The medical examiner is the best
friend of the child. He seeks to keep the child
in good health so that it may mature into sturdy
manhood or womanhood.
Richmond long ago began looking after the
health of its children, and many things which the
bureau has to say about health in the schools
does not apply here. But the school authorities
do not believe that the ultimate goal has been
reached.
The fight for the health of the child will not
be won until the home lines up with the school.
In this direction many parents still have far
way to go. If the campaign of the Bureau OF
Education succeeds in enlisting the interest of
the home, it will have powerful ally in combat
ing disease and starting the boys and girls with
lhealthy bodies on the journey through life.

Athletics and Motherhood
BY FREDERIC J. HASkIN

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. LEO
right on being athletic. Girls-it won't
hurt you." So say American physical
culture experts, who take issue with
the recent charges of English educa-
tors that athletics are uniting our
modern women for motherhood. The
Victorian girl, according to these
English authorities, was much better
mother than the modern feminine ath-
lete, because she wisely conserved her
store of vital and nervous energy for
the crisis of motherhood instead OF
wasting it daily on the tennis court.
golf course, or hockey field.
This surprising assertion seems to
have made serious impression upon
England, where there is now a strong
movement for milder school athletics
for girls, but so far it has received
little sympathy over here. Absolute
tommyrot!" is the way most of our
directors of physical education have
dismissed the subject, while few of
| them have taken the trouble to ex-
plain why.
1T is unfortunate" says DR.. Dudley
Sergeant, Harvard physical director
and head of the Sargent School of
Gymnastics in Cambridge, that such
statements have just enough truth in
them so that they cannot be contra
| dicted in their entirety. 1t is true,
of course, that many women do have
! trouble at childbirth, but it is unfair
/ to say that it is because of athletics

race is over.
Il believe that these girls who spec,
ialize in tennis, who play all the time
all over the country, are the ones who
would be sure to have trouble in the
crisis of motherhood Such women are
tight, tense, keyed up all the time, and
muscle bound. There is a vast differ
ence, you know
where is a girl going OF get that
vital and nervous energy, the Victor
'ians claim to have monpoliZed if she
does not develop it? And if she de
velops it, she must keep it up. A man
who is well developed and then sud
denly ceases physical exercises goes
stale and f1abby. This is equally true
of a woman. Her muscles must be
developed and kept if she is to perform
her function of motherhood.
Mothers Need Muscle.
You read more and more of the
necessity of resorting to the Cassariar
method. 1t is because so many womer

Strong, straightforward Advice to
Thin, UndeVeIoped Men and Women.

II you are thin, scrawny and unde-
veloped, If your face is peaked and
your cheeks and neck exhibit unsighty
Eollows, it's almost certain that your
nervous system is at the bottom of the
trouble. You can eat three. yes, four
substantial, fat producing meals a day,
but as long as your stomach has an
insufficient supply of nerve force this
food you eat will pass out of the body
with little if any benefit.
In order to assimilate properly the
nourishing food you eat. and convert
it into healthy tissue and fat the
nerves that control the process of
digestion and assimilation, must be
put in first-class shape and until that
is done you might just as well quit
trying to put on flesh. Your system
is starving for something that will
turn the food you eat into healthy
stay-there flesh, and it can only be
done in one way-by correcting faul-
ty nervous digestion.

in all the sports and gymnasium work,
but the girl who is abnormal or weak
is given special exercises and correc-
tive work. Sometimes a girl will be
required to come into gym every day
for an hour to lie on a mattress and
take deep breathing exercises. This is
physical training in her particular
case.
The English girl is physically a
harder type to deal with than the
American. The popular idea of the
/ English feminine type is based on the
drawings of Du Maurier; tall, slight
and fair. In fact, the willowy Maudes
of England are far outnumbered by
short, heavy girls, who look almost
squat to American eyes. They are es-
| pecially numerous in the manufacture
ing towns. This type is apt to develop
| large, bunchy muscles, which become
| fabby and degenerate unless they are
constantly exercised. This is a bad
| thing, just as overdevelopment of any
part of the body is bad"
| In conclusion, DR.. MacCracken would
have us consider the heavy work per
| formed by the peasant women in Eu-
ropean countries-work entailing much
more strenuous effort than feminine
athletics-and yet women of this type
seldom have any trouble in bearing
