FOR GEN. HARBORD

With instructions to insist upon
disagreement to two of the most con-
troversial provisions. the House late
yesterday sent its confereeS back Into
conference on the Army appropria-
tion bill.
one of these disputed proposals
would deny retirement pay, under
certain conditions. to Army officers
engaged in private business dealings
with the government The other
would prohibit the enlistment in thS
Army of boys under twenty-one years
of age without the consent of their
parents.
In insisting on the inclusion of a
provision relating to retirement pay.
the House modified language which
was stricken out in the Senate. AS
originally drawn. it would have de-
MED such pay to any officer employed
in any business which sold goods to
the government The name of Maj.
Gen. Harboard, former deputy chief Of
staff. now head of radio corpora
tion. was mentioned in the debate
preceding It's original adoption. and
Secretary Weeks criticised the action
of the House which. he said, dis
criminated against faithful and eff-
cient officer.

original language of the bill %aid the

STUDENTS IN ILLINOIS
EXCEED NEW ENGLAND
1859 Enrolled in Higher Insti-
tutions of State as Compared With
47,SOS in Six Eastern States.

CHICAGO, February 22.--More' stu
dents are attending institutions OF
higher learning in Illinois than are en-
rolling in all such institutions in all the
New England states, President Walter
Dill Scott OF Northwestern University
declared in an address here.
Despite the fact that the oldest insti-
tutions of learning are in the east. he
added, Illinois colleges and universities
attracted more foreign students than
did all New England's Institutions ac-
cordng to statistics of the commission
Of education in the United States. which
showed 933 foreign students in New
England institutions and 9S5 in Illinois
colleges.
President Scott said figures showed
47.80S students enrolled in universities
and colleges of the six New England
states, while 1859 We're enrolled in Illi-
nois institutions at the same time. or
those coming into Illinois schools from
outside states, 46la per cent come from
she east and the rest from the west, he
said.
While 5000 Illinois students left the
state each year in quest OF higher learn
ing, President Scott said, $4,000 stu
dents, representing every state in the
Union, entered Illinois to continue their
studies.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
OOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT,
CONTINUED

I wonder If back in your time, little
Marquise, there were women who
went out of their way to plant sus-
picion in your mind or hurt in your
heart and 1 wonder If they looked like
Mrs. Smithson. She Is tall and thin,
as if the milk of human kindness had
absolutely dried up in her veins. Her
mouth Is almost q cruel slit and her
chin comes out and is always little
red and pointed. Her eyes are narrow
and about them are little crows feet,
not the crows feet that you see

that reach back to the temple and are
accompanied habitually by two per
pendicular lines over the nose.

Mrs. Smithson that it hurts her to
smile, and yet only to you would

cause in her way she has always

Jack. who dislikes her very much,
insists that isn't kindness, but 81
species of patronage, a kind Of sop
to her own vanity. I wonder which
of us is right.
When she came forward to shake
my hand. she had kind Of peculiar
look upon her face that I had never
seen there before. An expression
which partook Of triumph and sorrow,
pity and virtuous condemnation. (Now
you know, little Marquise, IL I would
make any such fanciful description as
that to any one but you, he would say
had suddenly gone crazy) But
still contend that is just the way she
looked and that look was born out of
thoughts she did not voice. but which
she implied.

courts and try to correct our mis-
take" and then marry the love we
think was chosen for us by Fate. We
can live happily ever after, we assure
ourselves.
But do we? Or do we find that this
was a mistake, too? Do we discover,
mayhap, that the first love was the
true love after all, or that the second
lost it's glamor as soon as the marriage
knot was tied?
And what of our children? Can we
forget that we have taken them away
from theor own father or mother?
Can we forget that happiness might
have been waiting round the corner
near our old homes, had We only tried
to find it? If we are normal, we
can not.
Oh, 1t is easy to find reasons for

we can not make ourselves happy
by repeating the reasons we ought

CORRECT POSTURE

1T DIRECT posture. in sitting, ris-
liz ing. standing. walking, stoop-
III ING or lying, is Of great impor-
lance to health.
When your spine is bent and the
body is "slumped" or in a STOPPING
position. both the chest and the alb
dominal cavity are narrowed and re-
strIcted. The action of the vital or
gans, in these two cavities. is inter
fered with If kept up more or less
ali day. the loss in blood circulation
will result in harm that can hardly
be measured.
In climbing stairs hold the trunk
erect. Use your feet and legs to lift
you upstairs and not have your body
bending over and swaying from side
to side. The same thing is true about
posture in sitting or during sleep. An
erect back posture. during study or
office work, will conserve your nerve
force to a marked extent.
Sleep with your trunk straight and
legs extended. A bent trunk or spine
during six or seven hours OF sleep
will cause a decided loss in nerve
force and interfere wifi proper circu-
lation. II will cause uneasy and rest
less sleep and the walking hours may
mean a severe headache or loss Of
appetite for a nourishing breakfast.
One OF the most common forms of
lack of proper posture is the bent or
dropping shoulders, both in youth and
adults. In children, this may be aided
by having the weight OF the clothing
properly adjusted.
In adults. as a result OF bad pos
ture, the lower back muscles become
strained. The effort to relieve this
strain on the sacroiliac joints. causes
bent back and dropping shoulders.
The strain on these same joints
through improper posture, causes
backsche in many cases.
The strain is not alone common TO
the back. but is also felt in the legs.
Many cases OF so-called sciatica and
rheumatism may be traced to i'm
proper posture.
