Petroleum, General Electric and
other specialties scored good gains
over the previous closa while active

WHY PEOPLE "BREAK DOWN
Burden as a General Thing Was Not
Teo Heavy, but the Load Was
Put on Wrong Place.

People are breaking down in healh
all the time. And as the business man.
the housewife and the student fall BY
the roadside the Aublic dolefully ex-
claims: 'The load was too heavyl"
AS a matter of fact people break
down. not because the load they are
carrying is too great, for in nine cases
out of ten they could carry more than
they are asked to, but because they
don't know how to get the load on.
DR.. Joel f. Goldthwait writes in the
Designer. They put the pack on IN
the wrong place and then the human
machine is used in such way that
a great deal OF their energy Is re-
ouired to overcome what would
mechanically be called friction.
When the nations young men and
women have been taught to use their
bodies correctly and are standing up
straight many Of the problems facing
the country today Will have been
solved. There will be fewer instances
Of breakdown in the mill and the
Office and the home. People will carry
their loads easily. The development
of their bodies will make 1t possible
for them to know the fullest joy that
life can give. p

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT AMERICA
Traveller Tells Of Odd Beliefs That
Are Prevalent Among Even Well
Educated Europeans.

Austin Stack, minister Of home af-
fairs I'm the former cabinet Of Eamonn
de Valera. tells of some of the curious
impressions regarding life In the
United States still prevailing among
Europeans. Among other curious
beliefs is that every one who lives in
America. particularly in the Western
states. must be cowboy. l find that
many people habitually refer TO resi-
dents of the Far West as cowboys In
a figurative sense, and / suppose that
accounts for part Of the notions that
are circulated"
Mr. Stack recounted q story told to
him by a friend from Butte, Mont,
who was entertaining visitor from
Europe. The visitor expected to see
the streets Of Butte built and peopled
along the lines shown in the erstwhile
popular western movie, and his Lest
noticed that he seemed to be con-
stantlv on the lookout for some one
or something's
FINALLY" Mr.. Stack said. "the vis-
itor turned to his host and asked:
But where are all the cowboys?
"'Oh, they are never seen In the
daytime, the other replied. They
are very shy. They only come out at
nights, like the fairies"
And the visitor believed it. Mr..
Stack claims.
