'DEBUTANTE SLOUGH PASSING
New Styles for Women Allow Better
Posture, Says Instructor In
Remedial Gymnastics.

Wellesley, Mass.-The new styles
for women mean the death Of the
"debutante slouch."
This is the view, at least, Of the de-
partment Of hygiene at Wellesley COL
lege, which follows the styles with
watchful eye for their effect on the
bearing and general health Of Welles-
ley's 1900 students.
No one is more delighted at the pass
ing of the styles responsible for the
"debutante slouch" than Miss Mary ..
Haagensen, instructor in remedial gym
nastics.
1.-The old styles. with their tight
fitting and clinging lines" she says,
moulded most girls into shape much
like the figure 'S.' Everything about
this posture, from hygienic point Of
view, was bad. Today, with looser
garments, introduced on the wave Of
popularity for the sport clothes, 1t
will be much easier thing for girl
to stand up straight"
Miss Haagensen looks for more COM
mon sense In all Of the styles for the
future. due to the wider participation
Of women in outdoor exercise.

Because of such experiences, when
the food shortage began to afflict
Europe, the United States did not send
corn to the rescue. You may remem-
Der that Herbert Hoover urged us to
eat more corn and save wheat because
Europe could not very well be taught
to eat a new kind Of food In SO critical
a period.
Now the situation Is different and
Hoover accepted the offered corn glad

famine areas, and probably most Of 1t
will be prepared by the relief organi-
cations, and served to the children at
feeding centers.
What goes to adults may or may not
be cooked before distribution. Where
1t is not prepared for eating, directions
doubtless will be given to insure sufi-
cient cooking.
Good Nutritive Value.
With adequate cooking the nutritive
value Of corn is about the same as
that of wheat. Corn contains large
amount of sugar and starch which
supply the body with heat and energy.
1t also has good deal of protein
which builds up the body tissues. 1t
Is not, however, rich in minerals, need
ed In bone formation. Experiments
have shown that corn Is about as d.
gestible as wheat and that 80 per cent
Of its dry matter Is absorbed In the
process Of digestion.
Possibly 1t does not become America
to be too impatient with the European
lack Of appreciation of corn. The high
nutritive value of corn Is realized all
over this country and We have been
eating it ever since the Pilgrims, by
accident, dug up some seed corn bur-
led by the Indians and got them to
explain the growth and uses Of the
grain. Further back than that, Colum-
bus Is said to have found corn grow
Ing over here, and the Aztecs in their
great civilization used 1t. This coun-
try has had plenty Of time to study
corn and its uses. Yet 1t Is estimated
that less than 10 per cent of our big
corn crops is eaten by people, whereas
practically all of the wheat is turned

Boy Comes to Life,
Asks "Wha's BAT Pig2"

Selma, Ala.-Sirfalia Brown,
fifteen-year-old negro, has an
other claim to fame besides his
remarkable name, for Sirfalia
has Just figured in a remarkable
accident, which occurred while
he was standing at Caseys sta
ton to watch the train come In.
A small porker roofing about
the station was tossed high into
the air by a locomotive, landing
on Sirfalia's chest. The pig was
killed and so was Sirfalia-ap-
parently. Doctors were sum-
moned from Selma to examine
the seemingly dead Sirfalia.
Just before they arrived, how
ever, Sirfalia opened his eyes
and demanded to know, "Wha's
dat pig" Informed that 1t had
been killed by the impact, he
claimed 1t as "his meat" and
the offending carcass was turned
over to him for sausage.

From indication It will be the most
successful meeting ever held by that
organization. 80
The plant is now in the pink Of con-
dition and with the demand for stable
and more horses on the grounds to
draw from than ever before. 1t would
seem that large and classy fields will
go to the post in most of the events
each day. Seven races will be decided
each day and from this number the
racing officials have arranged for a
liberal share over q distance of ground.
Races OF a mile or further are ex.
tremely popular with race followers
here and during the meeting at the
Prince Georges county track such
events will receive liberal considera.
ton. During the past few days a
number of car loads of horses have
reached the track.
Quite a number. came from Hagers-
town, where a five days meeting was
brought to a successful close on last
Saturday, while several stables arrived
from Canada where they have been
campaigned during the summer
months. From now until opening day
they will be given slow work in final
preparation for the opening Of the five
days racing.
One Of the most recent arrivals was
the stable of'H. T. Palmer. the Virgin.
ian turfman, which brough twelve
racers to Upper Marlboro, ready to 60
to the post. Mr.. Palmer won several
events at Hagerstown and during the
coming meeting h's cHtors will doubt

Mr.. Palmer now has facing for him
that veteran mare, Miss Kruter, which
for a number of seasons was cam
paigned over the mile tracks in Mary
land and other parts of this country
and Canada by that veteran turfman n
William Cahill. Miss Kruter won many
races for Cahill. Mr.. Palmer now has
her in excellent shape and she will
doubtless be bracketed during the COM
ing meeting.
Others to arrive at the track are
G.. p. Smith, with Manicurist, High
Angle and O'Malley; George Ridge
with Don Thrush, Togoland, Sunset
Glow and several others. Lou Crist
