WALKING FOR HEALTH
(by Chas. F. Kuhn, MD
Member Gorgas Memorial Institute

Human nature is naturally lazy.
It requires constant effort and en-
thusiasm to keep going in spite Of
lazy inclination. So it is not at all
amazing that the competition of pri-
vate automobiles, takes, street cars
and elevators is undermining some
of our bodies by depriving the indi-
vidual of the natural exercise of walk
ing.
The simple and former popular
sport of walking is rar idly disappear
ing, A few years ago children walked
long distance to school and thot it
sport to hike two to five miles for
recreation. People would stroll thru
the woods, thru the park or down
the avenue. Now they ride.
Walking is one of the best forms
Of outdoor recreation for young or
old. A quiet walk either alone or with
q congenial companion fills one with
vigor. All seasons of the year are

equally suitable Or this celebrating
the beginning of spring, there is no
good reason why more Of us cannot
shake off some of the lethargy Of
winter by walking.
Walking enables one to breathe
properly. thereby minimizing bron-
chial disturbances and keeping the
lungs in healthful condition. It i'm
proves the circulation and therefore
is a wonderful stimulant. Walking
enhances digestion and is an excellent
tonic. By walking ones life is pro-
longed and physical suffering avoid
ed because such exercise promotes as
similation and elimination.
1t prevents cold and pneumonia. 1t
has sedative effect on the nervous
system and brain. Therefore walking
is one Of the best remedies for in
somnia, besides being a cure for de-
preston and the sblues.'
Brisk walks in the early morning
and evening arouse every normal inn
pulse, filling the system with pure
air. Walking keeps the young fit and
defers debility and old age. It is pre-
ventive medicine approved by the

EDIT RIAL
THE IMPORTANCE OF
ATTENTION.
(Don Peter)


Attention! That command is well
known in the army. When it is
heard the men Immediately drop
whatever they may be doing and
give their undivided attention to
the commanding officer. This is
absolutely necessary because in a
situation of war every detail must
be drawn with the utmost care.
Strict attention must be given SO
that the men will be as Of one
mind when they enter the contest
of shell and shrapnel.
But should the battle field be
the only place where attention is
desired? Attention is needed in
the schoolroom during recitations.
How often the teacher will ask a
question of some student only to
find that he had not been paying
attention and so had not heard the
question! The importance of at
tention may not be as readily per-
ceived in school room as on the
battlefield but it is there just the
same. If attention is not practiced
in school how can a person ever
expect to pay attention to his work
in later life? Most of the accidents
of today are caused by lack of
proper attention. Automobile acct
dents are often caused because of
wandering of the drivers mind
when it should have been concen-
trated on the business of driving
carefully. If attention is practiced
in the school room now while we
are young we will have no trouble
in concentrating on our work in
later life.

DEPARTMENTS

AS a final proof of her tipping
ability. Nita Miller wrote 60 words
per minute net for Is minutes on

and thereby earned her gold pin
on the Underwood. Some time ago
she earned the gold pin given by
the Remington company for SIS
lords with not more than errors

There was intense excitement

hope of getting them at all, but
now after receiving them they re-

and healthful exercise. But now, at
medical profession.
There is no set rule regarding dis
tances that should be walked. 1t is a
personal equation influenced by tenn
permanent, the will and physical
strength. Age is no bar. Since a man
is as old as his arteries it is unwise
to walk beyond ones endurance. A
yearly physical examination by your
own physician will best determine
the condition of vital organs and,
the amount of walking and
other exercise which, for health's
sake, should be taken.

SWEET MEMORIES

Little white booklets are in cir
culation among the seniors. When
senior is handed one accompan-
led by a fountain pen. it is implied
that he write his autograph, nick
name and what he wants to be.
These books entitled Commence
ment Memories were given to the
members of the senior class by the
Northwest School of Commerce of
Portland. Oregon. We seniors are
very grateful for this present and
no doubt most of us will retain it
all our lives. to be opened in some
free moments to refresh our men,
cries with our dear old school days
that will soon be gone forever.

S SPORTS


Kennewick won its second game
of the season from Richland by the
overwhelming score of 17-3. Hud-
nall and Lincoln held Richland to
one hit but errors enabled them to
score. Kennewick made ten hits
but most of their scores were due
to errors which were numerous in
every inning. The Kennewick in
field played their best game of
the season and the outfield played
errorless ball on the few chances
they did get. Our next game is
with Benton City on their field.
The team has caught its stride and
expects to make it three straight
victories up there.
In spite of their protestations
that they would make a much bet
;er showing against Prosser than
they did the week before, the ten
mis- team went down to worse de-
feat losing all their matches. most
of them by decisive scores. Gene
Spaulding almost won his match

TEACHERS APPOINTED.

Teachers for the Charles Town
Graded and High School together with
most of those for the rural schools of
the district were appointed by the
Charles Town School Board on We'd
nesday afternoon. Aside from the Sc
lection of the teachers, the Board con-
sidered a petition from the patrons of
the Zoar school, four miles north of
Charles Town, asking that the school
be closed, and means provided for
transporting the pupils by NOTORIOUS
to the Charles Town school.
The prayer of the petition was not
granted. The crowded condition of
practically all the grades in the
Charles Town school made it impossi-
bic for the Board to agree to have
the children transported here. There
being a surplus of room for the Zoar
children at the Shenandoah Junction
school, it was ordered that the children
be transported there, and means will
be made available for hauling them
the distance, one mile, from Zoar to
Shenandoah Junction.
Last years faculty at the Eagle
Avenue colored school, Charles Town,
were reappointed with Prof. Philip
Jackson as principal.
The teachers of the Shenandoah
Junction school last year were retain
ed, with Mrs. Randolph Moler as prin-
cipal, and Misses Amelia Eubanks,
and Mary v. Henkle, assistants.
Misses Katherine Boxwell and Nina
Ramey were reappointed teachers of
the Mechanicstown. school, and Miss
Meta Shirley at Ramey's. The only
other white school of the District, that
at Manning's, is without a teacher up
to this time, there being no applicant
for the position there.
Two new teachers We're appointed
for the Charles Town Graded School
to fill vacancies. The new appointees
are Misses Pauline Randall and Ruth

ed respectively physical director and
