Kelley bowed his head.

Pat cried out at that, and Reil-

him to remain. But the dying
man was insistent: his anger was
a terrible thing to see.
'Tis we1l-there's nothing I
can do, in any case" he said to
Pat. There is no harm in grant

And slowly, with a plying look
for Pat, he went out.

She went slowly up the stairs;

them back until your forearfns are
on level with your waist and your
elbows pushed as far back as pos
sible. Now move your elbows for
ward and back with a gentle saw
ing motion. Continue until you are
tired, breathing deeply.
This exercise will send a rush
OF blood to the muscles around
your shoulders. which in turn,
will nourish the muscles you are
exercising and will help to BAN

Likewise, 1t is a deep-breathing
exercise, so be sure there is a
circulation Of pure air in the room
before you try it.
After you have practised these
exercises for few weeks faith
fully you should notice a distinct
Improvement in, the contour of

will be especially noticeable
when you wear a low-necked din

YOUR BEAUTY

beautiful woman should be as fiji
and straight as a solder fresh
from camp training.
It is needless to add that your
thinking must be brave and
straightforward, also in order to
bring about good results. For
nowadays no one disputes. the
fact that ''as a man thinketh in
his heart, so is he''-and a woman
also.
Here is a simple but effective
exercises for Strengthening round
shoulders. Merely sit erect In
your chair and exaggeratedly
shrug one shoulder. then the
other, then both. Repeat this
until You are weary.
It is a wise idea for the office
worker, the student or any other
person, who bends much over her
work to pause occasionally and re-
fresh herself with this and similar
exercises. The advantage is Of
course that they stimulate circu-
lation, straighten out your muscles
and yet can be taken sitting at
your desk or workingtable.
Here is another valuable should
er exercise, which may be taken
in sitting position.

- that any measure which
beautifies and improves one of
these three features is sure to

Round shoulders. as I pointed
out In recent chat, are not only
ugly in themselves. but they re:

10 remedy this disfiguring de-

tour of the shoulders.
And likewise. exercises that
slenderiZes and beautify your
shoulders will add to the lowell
ness Of your neck and chin.
In order to straighten your
shoulders, first of all look after
shoulders. first of all look after
your general health. Whatever
builds up your strength and vital
ity will give you such happy en-
ergy that you will instinctively
carry yourself with the erect
strength Of soldier.

PUT CHECK ON COURT
Senator Ladd Insists Undesirable
Tendencies" of Highest Tribunal
May Be Halted.

LOS ANGELES, May 2s.-United
States Senator E. F. Ladd Of North
Dakota declared in an address today
before the Los Angeles City Club that
the undesirable tendencies" of the
United States Supreme Court can be
checked by congressional action.
The senator said he believed there
was no question that the highest court
had ''usurped the power to declare
an act of Congress unconstitutional"
and the court itself would uphold
law to take that power from it.
I'VE cannot help but take notice
of the fact" said the senator, that
there is growing unrest among the
neople, and an increasing fear that
the Supreme Court is assuming func-
tfons and powers that are alarming
and not contemplated in the provi-
sions of the constitution.
we are now fast drifting to that
point OF public discomfort aroused by
assumed abuses of usurped power, a
the masses maintain. and an over
whelming demand, with an aroused
public sentiment. will, / fear, swing
the pendulum too far in the other
direction.
THE criticism of the Supreme Court
has reached the point where we fire.
quently hear the suggestion that it
will be necessary to effect another
amendment to the constitution in
order to curb the tendency of the
court in exercising menacing powers
TO my mind. as a layman, who
has given a great deal of thought
to the subject, l do not believe that
the remedy is as difficult to obtain
as our cautious lawmakers, awed by
sense of dominating power, are
prone to believe"
Senator Ladd said the multiplying"
power of the Supreme Court was orig
jnally assumed in a decision by
Chief Justice Marshall. He suggest
ed legislation under which, mo act
of Congress should be declared un-
constitutional unless by a vote of
eight members of the court and no
act of any sovereign state legislature
should be declared unconstitutional
by vote of less than seven mem
bers."
