New York, Oct. 15.-Every woman
acknowledges exercise should be a
part of her daily routine. But ac-
knOwledging it and doing it are to-
tally different matters.
\ lovely pair of arms would doubt
less result if one could work up
enough antagonism toward the cid
punching bag, or get chubby enough
with Indian clubs or dumbbells. But
who can?
lisa Kremer, the famous Russian
concert singer, admits she can't, for
one. But she has found a much more
interesting way to accomplish the
same result.
She plays billiards or pool daily.
And she's developed skill that
makes her bodybuilding plan a
real pleasure.
"I've installed table in my home. "
she tells me, enthusiastically. "And
I've interested enough friends in it
so I never have to exercise alone.

"Arms have risen TO such impor-
tance since they've become so re-
vealed." she goes on. "that to me

And the control gained through the

ment toward beauty and poise.
Control Needed
Graceful gestures are not possible
unless the hand and arm are under
control.
Have you ever noticed how many
women make a thousand futile mo-
tons with their bands and arms that
are absolutely devoid of object or
beauty, or reason? Fussing with the
hair, rolling. and unrolling the hand.

lack of control which systematic ex-

improves them so much that you arc
quite inspired TO go and beautify The
surface as well as the foundation"

Canada Has Fewer Divorces
BY NEA Service.

Edmonton, Alta, Oct. 16.-Three
times as many divorces in the United
States as there are in Canada, say
the official statistics published at
Washington.
This means a lower code of morals
in the republic than in the dominion
say the feminist uplifters of Mon
treal, Toronto and Winnipeg.
Nothing of the sort" says Judge
Emily Murphy, the first woman
magistrate in the British Empire, an
author of repute and leader in
wemen's movements in western
Canada.
Canada has fewer divorces than
the United States for several rea-
sons" says Judge Murphy.
First, because one-third of the
people of Canada and perhaps a
greater percentage of our population
belong to churches that regard mar
riage as sacrament and refuse TO
recognize divorce.
Second, because divorce proceed

SOUPS For Children.

Youngsters of primary" age must
have nourishing, easily digested noon
time luncheons.
OF all foods soup answers these re-
quirements. But the same soup day
after day soon fails TO attract. Chill
dren love change and variety, and a
varied balanced ration or diet is
considered superior TO one of deadly
monotony for a healthy growing
child.
Unusual nervous strain during the
morning school hours often takes"
the appetite. If a child must be
forced To cat. the food does little
good. but if the appetite lis coaxed
bit and responds naturally, the
tension relaxes and the child eats
with q relish.
These soups may help vary the
monotony.
The nourishment of the soup de-
ponds on the "stock" This may be
of milk or meat. However. the term
"stnck" always means meat broth.
Stock can be made from the bones
Of rarely cooked meats. This Is
known as second stock and does rot

The cloud is film,

You feel on your teeth a viscous
film. Under old-way brushing,
much of 1t elings and stays. Soon
it becomes discolored, then forms
dingy coats. That is why 50 many
teeth lose luster.
Film also holds food substance
which {erments and forms acid. It
holds the acid In contact with the
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed
by millions in it. They, with tar
tar, are the chief cause of pyorhea.
Thus film is the greatest enemy
of tooth beauty and tooth health.

it is not nearly as hard as it would

I should not write to you this way

EARLY EXPERIMENTS
In WIRELESS MADE
AT CHICAGO STATION

CHICAGO. Jan. 20-The recent
here recalls the fact that the clock
tower which suffered particularly
from the flames figured in the be-
ginning of radio development In the
summer of 1890. according to John w.
Clarke. assistant chief engineer of
the Chicago Eastern Indiana railroad,
aerials were rugged up from the
tower and experiments were per-
formed which while only partly sue
cessful, convinced the experimenters
that wireless messages could he
sent. I,
Benjamin Thomas was general
manager then said Mr. Clarke.
Permission was obtained for a pro-
lessor from Notre Dame to string
aerials from the tower to the Tribune
building. Words were exchanged, but
the messages were broken. 1t was
concluded that the aerials were too
low, and that the noises of Dear
born street interfered.'
j. e. Murphy, treasurer of the rail-
read company, said he remembered
that such experiments were con-
Quoted from the old tower. Mr.
Murphy and Mr.. Clarke are among
the oldest officials of the road in

officials entered the service of the
company since 1890, and were there

the Dearborn tower in the early his

FLORIDA PLACES A
MEMORIAL ON SITE.

St. Joseph, Scene of First
Constitutional Convention,
Marked BY Granite
Monument

PORT ST. JOE, Fla. Jan. 2o.--A
memorial on the site of the old city
of st. Joseph. Calhoun county, where
the states first constitutional con-
vention assem- bled and where the
first constitution was signed, was
dedicated recently by Governor Har-
dee and other prominent resi-
dents of the state. The memorial is
of gray granite and represents the
portal Of a convention hall. 1t is six
feet high and % feet wide and was
erected by the state at cost of
$4,000.

memorate the birth of the state of
Florida and the assembling of the
first institutional convention of
this state convened in building then

OF our Lord 1885," On the inscription
upon the opposite side are included
the names of the forty-five signers of
the constitution.
Large trees have grown among the
crumbling ruins of st. Joseph, found
ed in 1892, by group of Columbus,
Ga, men who built the St. Joseph
and lola railroad srom the Dead
Lakes to st. Joseph Bay. This was
one of the pioneer railroads and is
said to have carried as much as $780,
900 bales of cotton annually from
Alabama and Georgia to the seaboard.
1t was this business which built St.
Joseph and with the construction Of
other routes to the seaboard, bust
ness dwindled and the town began
to decay. With the sale of the rail-
road in 1871 and its disma milling, most
of the residents moved away and
many of the houses were moved by
barge TO Apalachiola, where some of
them still stand.
The town was chosen for the
meeting of the constitutional con-
vention because of it's prominence,
the trip by rail affording delegates
a most unusual experience. The site
of the monument is upon the ground
where the convention hall stood. now
marked by crumbling pile of
bricks forming the outline of its
founda ion.
