One Kind of Exercise
MOI for Modern Boy

IN these days of power saws and
ways of heating and cooking, the
Ha jority of boys are not getting the
ue exercise with the sawhorse and
lie bucksaw that their fathers used to
obtain, says the Salem News.
In the fall, as the old almanac
says, it formerly was customary for
the old man gently but firmly to steer
his son out to the wood pile and sug-
gest that it was needful for him to
reduce those powerful looking sticks
of four-foot wood to kitchen stove
size. 1t was suggested, more or less
delicately, that these youngsters had
free board and clothes and spending
money and that the least they could
do was to perform the allotted task
on that wood pile.
1t cannot be said that the boy ele-
ment took hold of the wood pile with
willing zest. However, If the kid over
in the next yard had one to reduce
also, then the spirit of competition
came in. But on many days the old
saw would drag terribly. 1t did seem
as If those long sticks were the very
invention of the evil one, so gnarled
and knotty were they.
However, no kid in those days liked
TO admit that he was stumped or
could not do the things generally ex-
pected of boy. The youngster was
thrilled also to hear the old fellows
brag of the very short time in which
they could saw and split a cord Of
wood. He was melted to speed up a
bit himself and, as the days went by,
found himself able to do more and
more of a stint.
1t was a fine physical exercise and
good moral discipline. Boys trained
to cut up a wood pile usually made
good. They raised industrious families
and had pretty good time through It
all.

COUNT SALM NOW
FACING INQUIRY
BY GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.--The In
genuity of Count Ludwig Salm Won
.Hoogstraeten, husband Of the former
Millicent Rogers, was taxed severely
here Tuesday, after his arrival from
Palm Beach in evading inquisitive
reporters with the question of de-
portation raised meanwhile by re-
preventative La Guardia, socialist New
York. The only interview Count Salm
gave was through the transom of his
room at the Mayflower hotel, and 10
elude the newspaper men and pho
tographers at various times during
the day, he utilized freight eleva-
tor, had recourse to a fire escape,
and brought other hits Of strategy
into play. He was accompanied here
by his mother, after his successful
effort at the Florida resort to see
his son, born after he and his wife
Although Representative LaGuardia,
New York. wrote to Secretary James
j. Davis today asking that the labor
department investigate to determine
whether the count is illegally in this
country, the count himself seemed
over this. When earlier
in the day La Guardia had announced
his intention to take such action, re-
porters informed the count by passing
"a note under his door.
s Il do not find it very interesting" "
he answered through the transom.
Perhaps my lawyer will, but | do
not"
In his letter to the labor secretary
La Guardia said the count apparently
has no occupation and quoted Sec
tion three of the act of February s.,
1917, providing that any alien shall be
excluded who is likely to become q
public charge.
"Should a precedent be established
that social standing and titles of de-
funct OF decadent monarchies carry
with them exemptions or special privi-
leges in the application of our inn
laws, the very fundamentals
of our democracy would be misunder-
stood by the whole world" La Guardia
wrote.

saw possibility that Dodge, who
was a wealthy real estate broker, had

valuables. The safe was found lock-
ed.
The body was fully clothed when
found but the clothing was not burn
ed. Coroner c. B. Crumpacker said
the mans hands were so scared that
it would have been impossible for
him to have dressed himself. Otlcr
burns indicated that he had been held
over fire. Sherman Walker, an
other roomer, discovered the body n
a chair. A physician who was call ad
attributed death to heart failure Vr

Hand kissing scenes in the grand
manner has cost many a German mo-
tion picture producer the chance to
ell his film abroad. Passionate kisses
on the lips are universally liked by
movie patrons, but the courtesy kiss
on the hand accompanied by sweeping
gestures is appreciated only in Aus
trias and Germany, says DIR. Arthur
Landsberg.
When in a dramatic moment the
hero suddenly grabs the heroine's
hand and kisses it, DIR. Landsberg de-
clares foreign audience, instead of
being moved to tears struggles to
keep from laughing out loud.
The discussion over the question of
eliminating the hand kissing from
motion pictures has caused many beo-
pie to advocate the abandonment of
the practice in real life. They say it
is a relic Of the middle ages.

LONDON, Feb 23.-The Prince Of
Wales may accompany King on the
health cruise which the monarch in
tends to take as soon as he COM
pletes his social duties to his subjects,
which are represented by the three
courts to be held at Buckingham PALE
ace and possibly fourth in Scotland
this year. The kings physicians have
advised such a trip each year.
Queen Mary, it is generally UNDER
stood, is not good sailor and does
not enjoy sea voyages and it is un-
derstood she probably will not ac-
company her consort on this years
cruise. The heir to the throne is ex
pected to take the queens place
If this is the arrangement follow
ed it will be the first time that the
king and queen have been separated
on an occasion of TINS sort, and probx
ably the longest period their majesties
have been away from each other since
their marriage. The cruise is eX
pected to last six weeks or longer.
H G. Wells is working on a novel,
which, it is reported, will contain a
quarter of a million words. This
work, which probably will be com
pleted in the late spring, is said to be
somewhat in the style of his novel;
"The New Machiaeveli." Although
Mr. Wells denied it the general opinion
was that many of the characters in
that novel were thinly yelled sketches
of celebrities, including Lord Bal
four.
No matter what Paris may say,
English girls are going to continue to
wear their skirts short this spring and

such independence by British cos

instead of copy styles.
At the first display of spring styles
at the New British model house, es-
tablished to show English designs, the
spectators included many French de-
signers who hurried home to put some
of the English ideas into their spring
creations Probably the short skirts
s$ill survive the spring in Paris also,
but it seems almost certain to disap
