Bad Girls Given Trip
in Reform Program

London. - The English reformers'
idea of making bad girls better Is to
give them trips to the seaside.
Accordingly, last year several OF the
detention institutions for young girls
took parties of inmates to various sea-
side resorts, where they were given
two-weeks' vacation with only the SUI
pervision Of two matrons to each party
OF twenty-five girls.
Last years outings proved so sue
cessful that nearly all similar institu-
tions this year took up the idea ana
permitted their best-behaved girls TO
have q vacation.
The expenses for the trip, above
what 1t would have cost to feed ana
provide for the girls at the institution,
were donated by persons interested
In progressive methods in the correc-
tional institutions Of the country

Doctor Says British
Eat and Golf Too Much

London.-The British public golfs
too much and eats too much, accord
ing to DR.. Leonard Williams
AS for golf, the game has a had
moral effect, according to the physi-
clan.
"a man loses his MATCH" says Dr.
Williams, land, as q result, is unhappy
about 1t, is disgruntled. is bad tenn
pered. His thoughts are on the next
game, which he VOWS he will win. And
too often he is discontented until he
does win."
The way the English take their food
is almost as disturbing to Doctor Will
liams as the way they take their golf,
1T is not realized by the public that
it takes as much energy to digest an
English meal as it does to take a five
mile walk People eat far too much.
The day is started with heavy break
fast: full meat lunch follows; then
there is tea, accompanied by scones
and cakes; and finally there is dinner,
running to several courses. This Is
far more than can properly be digested.
1T would be saner and healthier to
start with q continental breakfast, and
follow it with light lunch. Tea
should be a cup of tea and nothing
more. Dinner then could remain what
