NO LONGER "CLINGlNG VINE"
Athletics and Healthy outdoor Life
Have Increased the Weight Of
Modern Woman.

They're building em bigger. Dress
makers say so, corsetieres agree
there's something In it, and now along
comes cold, calculating science to ex-
plain why women weigh more than
they ever did before.
Women are no fatter, say the physl-
cal culture experts. They're simply
larger, and here's the reason: The
women of today are one and half
inches taller as a class than 40 years
ago. Their chests are larger, their
waistlines have wjdened. Their mus
cles have hardened. All this makes
them weigh more.
The changes, according to those
who have made study Of the subject,
are simple enough to explain. Women,
especially during the last 20 years
or so, gradually have been convert
ed from the clinging vine to robust
persons who are proud rather than
ashamed of the physical feats they can
accomplish. Participation in sports
has turned the trick.
"Time was" explained William Herr
mann, physical training expert Of
Philadelphia, when a woman thought
vigorous use Of the body and its mus
cles was unladyllke. All that has
changed, of course, and the gradual
participation of women in sports and
various forms of exercise. actually has

Some hundreds of years ago there
lived In Agshelln, little town In Asia
Minor, an imam, or village carson, the
khoja Nasr-ed-Din Effendi, concerning
whom some interesting tales are told.
One day, 1t appears, camel passed
along the street In which the khoja
lived, and one of the khoja's neighbors
who had never seen u camel before
ran to ask him what this strange beast
might be. ...
Don't you know what that Isl" said
The kh0ja, who also had never seen a
camel, but would not betray his ig-
norance. "That Is hare thousand
years old"
A great man once gave feast, to
which, with much condescension, he
caused the khoja to be hidden. Ac-
c0rdingly, on the appointed day the
khoja repaired to the great mans
house and found himself in the midst
Of fashionable and richly clad COM

imam In his threadbare black gown.
No one greeted him or spoke to him,
and eventually he was shown by

unobserved and went into the hall,
where some of the mighty ones had
left their outer garments. Selecting

Exports Of cereals from the United
States in 1921 were greater by far
than for any previous year, having
totaled no less than 14,O97,OOO short
tons. The annual average during the
five-year period 1850 was 9,s73,-
600 short tons, and for the five year
period 1904 only 4,214,O00 short
tons. There was falling off, to be
sure, in some other staple products
but this deficiency was much more
than made up for by the exports Of
cereals. One is left to wonder what
has become of all the money realized
from the sale of Uncle SANS cereal
crop at home and abroad. There Ger.
tainly isn't very much of it in evil
dence in the wallets or bank accounts
of the farmers.

The success Of the Washington con.

The success Of the Washington con-
ference surpassed the expectations Of
its most sanguine proponents and
confounded the pessimists. More his
tory Of the right sort was made in
a dozen weeks than in the twelve
preceding centuries. Moreover, the
treaties adopted mean SO much for
the comforting powers in the reduc-
tion Of their armament burdens and
in insuring their undisturbed progress
in the pursuits Of peace, that it is
inconceivable ratification will be de-
MED by the legislative body of any
participating government. The sig
nificance of the treaties for the world
in general is of such tremendous i'm
port that words are inadequate to
picture the glorious future resulting
should the conference bud ultimately
expand into the full flower Of inter-
national trust and understanding. 1t
is not too much to hope that the con-
ference achievements will serve to
promote world recognition of and
world membership in the present
League of Nations or in an associa-
tion of nations, submitting all its
international troubles to a world
court. The sword Of Mars will be
broken and his armor shattered.

EGGS THE CREM0NA SECRET7
Idea Put Forward That YoIks and
6eeswax Were Used In Filters.
Of Old VioIins.

N. G. Holcomb, musical instrument
maker of Norwalk, Ohio, believes he
is making rapid advances In his efforts
to discover the secret of the fine
mellow tone Of the Cremona vlolins.
Musicians for years have wondered
why many old Italian vi0lins appar-
emily made In sllpshod manner,
should produce such clear sounds.
Holcomb believes that the lost secret
had to do mainly with the filler and
varnish. Not long ago he was in
formed that careful chemical analysis
had been made of some Of the finish
on an old violin. owned in Battle Creek,
Mich.
This examination disclosed the fact
that, before the varnlsh was applied,
the wood was filled evidently with the
yolk of an egg and beeswax. Profiting
by this information, Hocomb rubbed
these substances into the raw wood of
new violin before applying the var
nish. The results were surprising, the
instrument producing tone that is
usually associated with age.
Holcomb, by using tops Of old ta-
bles and other furniture, obtains ma
pie wood one hundred years or more
old. Through microscope 1t can be
seen that In maple properly aged the
cells are devoid Of the sap and resin
that makes improperly seasoned wood
unsatisfactory.
Holcomb has found out that, IL var
nish is applied to violin before a
proper filler has been used, the varnlsh
penetrates the cells of the wood and

From the evidence available, r. D.
Oldham traces three divisions in the
earth's interior. The solid outer crust,
with a thickness of " to per cent of
the radius (or 20 to 40 miles,, has
high permanent rigidity, but from un-
known causes has been subject to de-
formations, with displacements of as
much as ten miles vertically and 100
horizontally. The next section, about
half the radius in thickness, has high
rigidity for such streams as tidal ac-
tion, with low rigidlty for long-con-
tinued stress. The central nucleus has
low rigidlty. The conclusions relat-
ing to the two inner divisions are
drawn from records Of earthquake
waves.
