Temperament COOLS IN
CHILLY BATH, SHE STATES

CHICAGO. Nov. 16.-The flame Of
love ignited in the Latin quarter of
Paris was quenched in a cold bath in
Blackstone Ave. Mrs. Lenore Dal-
rymple. 951 Edgecomb Place, sculpt-
ress. testified before Judge Timothy
Hurley who granted her a divorce
from Clifford Louis Dalrymple. artist,
225 n. Michigan Ave.
She was posing for her husband in
their studio home Aug. 90. 1921. she
testified, when she became tired and
Dalrymple hurled a paint brush at
her when she was unable to hold the
pose.
The next outburst OF temperament
came two months later, according to
the witness, when she told her ar
list husband his bath was ready. The
water was to cold for him, she said.
and he seized her and threw her into
the tub.

Results of Experiments
LIFE is PROLONGED

CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 16.-About
eighteen years have been added to the
expectation of life at birth in this
country in the past century. about ten
years in the last two decades, accord
ing to DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk. medi-
cal director of Life Extension Instr
tute, New York, before the convention
of the Southern Medical Association.
Dr. Fisk said:
Most of the gain in life extension
is due to reduction in mortality under
8 years of age. Up to 1910, and proba-
bly, up to 1917, inclusive, there was no
gain in the expectation of life at the
age of so.
THE greatest task in preventive
medicine lies in the extension of the
period of full vitality. and in extenn-
ing the life span beyond the age Of 40.
This can best be accomplished by
periodic medical examination and the
application of scientific methods OF
health building as we'll as disease pre-
vention."

A beautiful face or a beautiful fig
and good heAlth is impossible with
out correct habits of exercise and diet.
Our forefathers who lived in the
open and didn't depend on subways
and motors got plenty Of exercise, and
did not have to worry about Indian
clubs, dumbbells or daily dozens.
But modern life makes no call on
some Of our muscles and gives them
no chance to develop, so unless we
take the matter in hand and exer-
else them sooner or later we pay the
penalty of our neglect in fiabby
muscles, fat or underdeveloped bod
les and then Ill healtl.
More Harm Than Good
l believe in exercise, but before any
woman undertakes any strenuous pro
gram I believe she should have her
self examined by a physical instruc-
tor at a gymnasium. otherwise she
may do herself more harm than good.
l have two simple exercises that
are a part Of my daily routine which
are perfectly harmless and yet which
seem 10 me TO Ne the best there are
for internal as we'll as external ben
eft. 1t is to these two I attribute my
health-and my figure.
For external beauty 1 recommend
the bending exercise which stretches
and reduces all the flesh about the
waist and abdomen and makes the
spine supple and the legs symmetrical.

JOIN
INCEMENT PROBE

Members Of the State highway
commission appealed to Governor Nc
Cray today for assistance in their
endeavor to determine whether
cement trust actually exists as in
dicated by similarity OF six bids of
Tered by competing companies for the
supply to take care Of the 1928 road
building program.
Governor McCray informed Director
John D. Williams that he was power
less to act unless other Governors
joined in the investigation. The com
mission was in session late today and
while no definite course OF action was
annouced, it was generally believed by
officials that sweeping investiga-
tiun OF the cement industry might
be begun.
Evidences Of a trust are said to
have cropped out in bids to other
State commissions and It is under
stood that several States would Join
with Indiana.

NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-Discovery
Of the tissue building activities of the

definite prolongation of human life,
were outlined by DIR. Alexis Carrel Of
the Rockefeller Institute before the

DR.. Carrots statements were
taken by many scientists to indicate
the secret of longevity might be found
through the discovery Of a means Of
stimulating the activity of these cor
puscleS.
Results of Experiments
DR.. Carrel told of his experiments
with animals, which had indicated the
white blood corpuscles stimulated the
growth of new tissue "by setting free
growth activating substances in the
tissues" He pointed out that in ex-
IRENE old age new tissue grew to heal
wounds and broken bones.

to bring about the reformation so bad ly needed.
 And now Franklin D. Roosevelt, for seven years assistant secretary of the navy and recently the Democratic can didate for vice president:
 The entire system of relationship which exists between congress and the exeen- tive departments is fundamentally wrong Let me illustrates: l made an offer one spring to the appropriations committees of both house and senate, telling them that I would tomorrow discharge 16 per cent of the employees of the Navy de- partment if they, the committees, would give me complete authority to take one half of the salaries of the employees so discharged and add it to the salaries of the other S per cent of the employees still left in the department. M course however, under the present sys- tenn congress would not think of giving executive discretion of this Kind.
 Congress, for various reasons has so tied the hands of the executive officers of the government that they have no dis eretion in the fundamental questions of employment My own wonder ts that considering the existing cfrcum- stances the employees of the govern ment are as efficient as they actually are. Congress legIslates for every minute item of employment There Is lot of work being done in other departments which ought properly to be under the Navy department, and in the same way there fig & lot of work done by the Navy department which could perfectly prop erly be transferred to other departments. After seven years down here in an ex- l ecutive position l cannot help the conclusion that our governmental meth l ods are cumbersome and wasteful. The first improvement must come in what is | after all, the source of governmental &C., l tiyities-that is, the legislative branch. :. 1 This must come from congress. We need 1 also a reclassif1cation and redistribution 1 of the work of the executive depart I ments This can only come If congress, I working in accord with itself and with l the executives, will discuss the whole l question simultaneously and not merely l pieeemeal
 Well. there you arel A Republican who has been in the legislative branch of the government for seventeen years, and a Democrat who has been in the executive branch for seven years. both telling the same story of how badly the national business is managed. The odd thing about it is that our
 agents and representatives at Wash
 ington who let this waste and inef-
 ficiency run on, year after year, pay
 no penalty. We pay the piper to the
 tune of millions and billions-literally
 that much. And the condition will en
 dure until we make real roar about
 it. Congress increasingly shakes its
 head over the situation and brings in
 various proposals of reform, and says
 how wrong 1t all is, but lacking q
 lively, inflamed public pressure, noth.
 ing gets done.
