Correct Posture
Induces Health

Boston, March 3 - (AP) - Men
students at Boston University are
being taught how to grow taller in
a new course given by the depart
ment Of physical education. DR..
George B. Emerson. head of the
department, says that in one or two
cases an inch or more has been added
to Students height as result
of the course.
The secret, he explains. is in cor
rect posture. Habitual incorrect pos
ture besides keeping the individual
from achieving his normal height
results in displacement of internal
organs. interference with their func-
lions and resulting alterations in
personal appearance. especially cast
of countenance, as well as possible
impairment of health.
eff you want to be healthy stand
up straight" DR.. Emerson tells his
classes. IF you want to be intelli-
gent and look it. stand up straight.
If you want to be happy and make
a success of life, stand up straight"
Describing the need of this course
he says:
Quality and quantity of internal
organic function is depicted extern
ally through the behavior of the
entire organism. There is always a
feeling of independence and capabili-
ty associated with correct posture
when, for instance, the waist line
Is at three inches less than the
chest measurement. Lack of ambi-
ton, yawning, stretching, irritability,
all of which are portrayed in facial
expression, are often associated with
retarded function of the vital
organs.
Improper posture will reduce nor
NAL height from one to Il zee inches.
Such loss Of height is regained by
a series of exercises. When normal
posture is secured another series Of
exercises is used to maintain the
correct position until gradually it
maintains ITSELF"
This course is one of a group of
new courses in physical education
which the students may take if they
wish. A minimum amount of physi
cal training is required Of both boy

THE AUTO OUTPUT

Eumors from the automobile
 manufacturing centers have been to the effect that the past month has seen a slowing up in manufac- turing. This may be due 10 the weather or variety of reasons, and may be only a seasonabIo slump, or to the need for taking inventories
 On the whole, the output of au- tomobiles and trucks during the first five months of the year has been considerably in excess over the same period last year. The first five months this year saw 2,043.524 autos and trucks manufacturcd; during the same period last year inc total was 1,78L393. All sales during the period were in excess of the same period last year.
 The country's prosperity is now closely bound up with the fortunes Of the automobile industry. and il. is satisfactory to note there is no possibility of serious slump in the industry. Manufacturers are busy deyising new models and the usual yearly changes, with tendency to- ward smaller cars said to be para mount, due to the exigencies Of traffic requirements.
 Automobile manufacturers know how to keep their product circu- lating. When a slump is threatened they invariably reduce aprices to stimulate trade. The marvellous progress Of the industry has not been altogether due fo meeting long-felt want. but 10 9a4d business sense as well.

BROKEN GLASS NEAR
 WADING POOL

The wading pool in Walnur HUI park is one of the most popular spots for youngsters in the city; they gather around il by hundreds daily, especially when the weather induces desire to play at such a cooling oasis. The least the city can do is to keep the vicinity Of the pool safe for the hare feet of the children. This has not been done, largely due 10 the careIessness of people who throw bottles and tin cans near the pool
 A youth who stepped upon broken bottle this week had to un- dereo medical treatment for a Sc we're cut. Last summer approxi- mately Q score of youngsters re- ceived severe gashs upon their rect by stepping upon broken glass. Some Of them had to under go hospital emergency treatment
 How glass comes to be strewn about the pool at times is q com mentary upon the carelessness of q small part Of the public. People who take things 10 eat" to the park frequently Tighten their bur dens on the return trip, leaving empty pickle bottles, etc. on the lawns in the vicinity Of the pool. Boys, seeing the bottles, break them, just for the fun Of smashing something. Later, along comes an youngster and gets his foot alashed.
 The bottles should not be left ly- ing in the park. Nothing but crass carelessness and lack of foresight is responsible. But human nature being what if is. no amount of
 should not will change the situa- tion; bottles no doubt will continue 10 be strewn where they will do the most damage
 The next step, then, is to have a better oversight over the pool an6 it's vicinity. Litter and bottles should not be allowed to lie on tine grass very long; al present they form q weekly disarray until the can get around to them. The vicinity of the pool should be given first and constant attention. as il is point where barefoot children disport themselves while waiing,
