GAIT OF MODERN GIRLS
CALLED WORST IN YEARS
Styles Charming, But They Sit and
Walk in Manner Declared
Harmful.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. October 30.-Girls of to-
day have the worst gait of several
generations, i'll the opinion of Mrs.
Diana Watts, whose fad is travelling
from one country to another to oh.
serve how women walk. Modern
girls, she contends, carefully Guilt
vate a so-called fashionable SLOUGH"
which not only is bad for health, but
a sign that the women of this genera
tion are sloppy minded"
The secret of a correct carriage in
walking goes back to a fundamental
underlying principle which the Greeks
knew and which was lost for about
1000 years. Mrs. Watts declared,
(which is really what George Bernard
Shaw calls the technique of the dia-
phram, the Importance of which can
not be exaggerated.
colder people complain of girls
dress" says Mrs. Watts, but in my
opinion the styles are charming. What
is wrong with the modern girl is the
way she sits and walks with her
chin poked down, her shoulders
hunched up. the upper part Of her
body completely curved. and her dia-
phragmi crumbled up dangerously. She
does not hold herself nearly so well
as girls did 30 or 80 years ago, when
dresses were difficult to manage"

English nightingales decline persist

is reported by Beatrice Harrison, who
is sojourning in that country. and re-
ports that when she is. playing the
cello in her Surrey garden, and uses
a lively jazz march, the nightingales
remain quiet, declining to have any
part in the concert, but when she uses
a minuet or sonata, the birds sing as
if fairly ecStatic with iOY.

Shortage In Horses

We are indebted to ~ f. Pace for
a bulletin from the Bureau of the
Census. Washington, comparing the
census on horses and mules in the
United States in 1925 with that of
1920.
In that time, horses on farms have
been reduced from 1876, ,161 to 49,
535, 100, or decrease of 1863 per cent;
horses under . years of age, which
means those foaled in 1923 and 1924,
are 1897, ,755 less than the correspond
ing group foaled in 1918 and 1919, or
a decrease of 52.S per cent in young
horses Mules as whole show an IN
crease of SO per cent, but mules under
2 years of age show decrease of 44.5
per cent Combining horses and mules
we have for January 1st 1925, 22,266,-
367 head on farms, as compared with
25199.552, or decrease of 1888, 1S5, a
net loss Of 11.6 per cent.
In Arkansas we have total of 221,-
Ss3 farms, on which are 52G,914 horses
and mules, slightly more than an aver
age of per farm. Each farm aver
ages 40 acres, making Jude and Beck
cultivate 30 acres apiece.
According to the Bureau. it would
take As years TO reproduce sufficient
animals for our purposes. if we did
not get any supply from outside the
state.

pointed out in this connection that

FINANCIAL
REVIEW

New York, June 12-(R-Another
sharp turn in stock prices this week
testified to the more cheerful senti-
ment in business and financial cir
cles. Trading continued to be dom-
mated by professional operators. Ap-
parently the drastic declines in
March and April still were too fire. sh
in mind to induce extensive public
buying. which recently has been of an
extremely cautious nature.
The weeks trade and financial de-
'vclopmcnts were again largely con-
structive in character. The chief
items were the unexpectedly small de-
crease in the May untitled orders of
the United States Steel corporation,
the establishment Of new high records
in freight traffic for this season of
the year, the maintenance Of relative
ly high production by. the basic in
dustrics and the steady increase in
retail sales.
U. ). Steel common was one of the
outstanding market leaders, scoring
an extreme gain Of nearly points
above last weeks final quotation on
total sales of over $4,000 shares in
five days. General Motors, another
so-called Morgan stock" also
changed hands in enormous volume,
climbing over six points to new high
level for the year at 1865 within lls
points of the record high for all time
established last fall.
Independent Steels pointed upwar I'd
on bnying influenced by the unusual
~ high rate of operations for this
season of the year and stiffening
price tendencies for certain products
Motors generally showed tendency
to sell off. Rubber stocks also lost
ground. Oils were slow in respond
ing to bullish trade statistics and
large current earning although they
showed signs of strength and activity
towards the close Of the week.
Specialtics, particularly in tho food
group, presented several points Of
strength on what appeared a revival
of pool operations.
Rails developed strong undcrtonc.

by the renewal Of merger talk

BUTTER
MARKET

Chicago, June l2.-[P)-Buttc,
markets at the opening Of the week
ruled steady with some indications OF
nervousness noted in some quarters
AS the week progressed dealers began
to show more confidence in the gen.
eral situation. The nervous under
tone soon disappeared and by We'd
nesday prices had advanced slightly
and the market tone on all markets
was steady to firm.
Receipts at the four markets ex-
cceded these of the corresponding
week last year by stable margin
Since the consuming demand is far
from large enough to absorb the re-
ceipts at this season and since spec
ulation for short periods is not
encouraged by the small price fluc-
tuations there evidently was among
the trade those who considered pre-
vailing prices safe basis for stcr-
ing butter.
During the week the net into stor-
age movement ct the four markets
has averaged over a million pounds
daily. which is slightly heavier than
for the corresponding period u yea,
ago.
