In gestures Of the hand and
arm the wrist naturally leads.
Otherwise there will not be free
graceful movement.
Try shaking your hands vigor-
ously as though in an effort to
shake them entirely free from
your wrists. This will improve
the color and circulation of both
your hands and wrists and il you
persist in 1t faithfully week after
week, will make your wrists slim
and supple.
Should your object, however, be
to increase the size of over-thin
wrists, take the exercises slowly,
with just enough energy to stir
up sluggish circulation.
Here is another exercise which
will accustom you to letting
your wrists lead in movements
of the hands and arms. It is also
fine as an aid to rhythmic move
ment and poise.
Stand before your open win.
dow with your back and neck
straight, your weight well for
ward over the balls of your feet,
your arms straight down by your
sides, palms in.
Now slowly-very slowly
raise your arms, still holding
them straight, to the level of
your shoulders and on up until
they meet above your head.
Pause a moment and then, re-
turn. still holding them straight,
very slowly to your first position.
During all of this exercise, let
your wrists lead and your arms
and hands follow your wrists.
The whole movement, provided
you have made it accurately.
will be graceful and poised. Do
ing the exercise mechanically is
a waste Of time. What counts is
slow. deliberate. rhythmic move
ment. which should be as lazily
graceful as the flight of a butter
fly.
Quick. 1erky movements are
never graceful. They are the ex-
preston Of disordered, uncon-
trolled thought. So think calmly
and clearly. and let the exercise
1 have just suggested help you
to express your orderly thought
in lovely movement.

"Oh, yes. had forgotten" said
our friend. "Sir Isambard Brunei

the little fellow lined his tunnel
as he went along with a kind of
a lime or shell, as he dug through
the wood and sandstone in which
he was working.

Just then one Of the bosses

To finish the fight you began in France
Or have you steered clear of the

Have you forgotten Belleau, st. Mihiel

And your crippled chums who are need

Come on, be a Legionnaire
You're comrade of mine. for haven't

On Flanders Field Of France
And ducked our head
To the scream of lead
Or checked the Germans advance?
We've frightened our belts a notch or

Your service has won you It,
There's no one can take it away from

That you cannot shirk or share;
It's to fight the fight as you used to

LITTLE AID WAS NECESSARY
Most All Ex-Service Men and Women
Treated in Mayo Hospital Able
to Meet Expenses.

OF the $50 cases of ex-service men
and women treated during one month
at the Mayo hospital, Rochester, Mimi,
only seven required aid from the local
Legion members, according to reports
made to department officials of the
American Legion in the state
The Legionnaires at Rochester found
some time ago that a serious problem
had developed in their city when
many former service men and women,
learning of the reputation of the Mayo
clinic, would come there practically
without funds and even though receiv-
Ing treatment, faced serious conse-
quences. In order to meet this de-
mand for service, certain post funds
were set aside and the service officer
Instructed to handle these cases.
Since that time demands for aid
from these patients have practically
ended according to post officials,
though willingness to help is still the
part of the Rochester Legionnaires.
Some degree of Legion care is Of
fered to every former service man or
woman who becomes a patient in the
hospital but the requests for financial
aid show that most of the patients are
seIf-sustaining during the periods of
treatment. The cases in the hospital,
from all parts of the country, were as
follows:
Alabama 2, Arizona 1, Arkansas 2,
California 2, Colorado 2, Florida 2,
Idaho 2, Illinois IL, Indiana 5, Iowa 16,
