BUTLER C0MMENDS JEFFERSON IDEALS
Sees Communism Fading and Strikes at MuSsolini

Charlottesville. Va. April II R-- Nicholas Murray Butler. president of Columbia university. feels that the theory Of the Mussolini government in Italy constitutes a challenge to democracy which can be resisted only by making "our democratic doctrine efficient by retaining civil and individual liberty"
 Speaking at Founders Day exer- cises at the University Of Virginia. Commemorating the one hundred and eighty fourth birthday of that he regarded the present Italian theory of government as the most important Of the attacks challenging faith in democracy.
 Dr, Butler predicted that the al ready fading communism ill Rus sian would in time be replaced by q form oi government based upon the teaching of Jefferson, declaring that Thomas Jefferson is even more im- portant in 1927 than he was in 17S7."
 Gan it be possible democracy has become an obstacle to human hap piness and progress he asked, add ing ithat democracy has been chal- lenged from within and without. But that at no time in memory were the challenges as emphatic as at the present. The speaker referred to so. cialism as the least violent attack and to the Mussolini rule as an out standing attack.
 The moment the state becomes absolute, somebody must be abso- lutc," he said. If we are to resist the return of the doctrine of the ab- so]ule state under the guise of eiti- ciency We can only do it by making our doctrine efficient by retaining civil and individual liberty.

necessary to practice correct posture
at all times. When you sit down, sit
away back in the chair with your
weight on your thighs; the wrong
way to sit is to perch on the edge of
chair with weight on the end of your
spine. When you stand or walk, hold
your body as tall as you can. with
chest elevated and abdomen in. Do
the following exercises every day: O
Practice walking around room with
correct posture, holding an orange on
your head. Walk up and down stairs,
balancing the orange in the same way.
(2) Lie face down on the floor with
arms folded across your waist behind.
Slowly raise head and shoulders from
the floor. Relax and repeat 10 to 20
times. go Stand about three steps
from the corner of a room. Place
your hands on the two walls. Keeping
your feet still and your knees straight,
slowly incline your body forward until
your chest is resting in the corner.
Recover and repeat five to ten times.

When Playing Tennis.

Now that Tilden has lost his crown
all the American man tennis players
will have to work hard and send forth
a new champion.
Helen Wills has nobly taken the
women's laurels. But probably all
the girls will still wish to perfect their
game.
In the first place all the Summer va
cationists who have been rather mac
tive through the Winter months
should take this warning: They should
not plunge furiously into several sets
Of tennis the first day. This applies.
Of course, to any exercise or game.
The body must gradually speed up
because a sudden change from seden-
tary life to active games may cause
dilation Of the heart.
Quickness and accuracy are neces-
sary to good tennis. Proper food be-
fore and after a game will not only
help the playing Of your game, but
will keep you fit.
Violent exercise should not be in
dulged in shortly after eating. Time
should be given for the digestion of
a meal before playing tennis. The
intense activity calls the blood away
from the stomach annd slows up diges-
ton. Distress may follow.
Just before the game one or two
generous glasses of lemonade. not too
cold, can be taken. The water will
make up for the perspiration lost. 1t
could be sweetened with sugar or
honey. This will supply quick energy.
The lemon juice contains minerals.
vitamins and is cleansing.
If long game is played, lemonade
could be taken during the game. 1t
should not be too cold. Just cool

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. G. c. c., in sending in her
ideas on discipline, writes magnifi-
cent eulogy of her mother. She says:
II have a daughter months old,
and my one desire Is to be to her
what my mother was to me. My
mother never scolded her family Of
six -four girls and two boys), nor
ever whipped us, neither did we
spring up We were reared.
Mother usually agreed with us, IL
we were right. She never told us
that one thing or another was right
or wrong, but merely suggested, and
gave a reason. In our home there
was no such thing as no means no,
or any hard or set rule about any
thing. Mother was too kind and sac
rificing to hurt or be hurt. She talked
to us a great deal and went for walks
with us. In short, although great
deal older than myself, who was the
youngest, my mother was the whole
world to us. She was married at IA.
although we never felt the iron
hand, mother must have had one. If
child disobeyed, the next time he
asked for something his former dis
obedience was made plain to him and
O. refusal was in order. But IL mother
saw full repentance her never-failing
sympathy and kindness conquered.
I'm the evening, when mother
called us by clapping her hands ishe
never raised her voice inside or out
side of the house, we did not coax to
stay longer, but IL we were interested
in a game, mother waited until the
game was finished and excitement
subsidized before calling us.
1--WE were taught never to spend
foolishly. A few pennies a day
seemed to satisfy us. The money.
bills and change, were kept in a dish
on the buffet, but we never touched
it without mothers permission. II
we wanted 2 cents and mother said
/, a rare occasion, we took but 1scent.
mo matter what age, each child
told mother where he was going, with
whom and the time he expected to
be home. Mother always remained
awake until the last one turned in.
We never played far from home, and
run home every once in while to
ask IL all was o. X.
Mother trusted us implicitly. We
told the whole truth, for no punish
ment was greater than hurting moth.
er's feelings.
Perhaps you may think we were
always at her apron strings. But the
boys have travelled all over the world
and the girls are in their own homes

under mothers roof. Children's re-

children are respected. No opening

Inside Dope of Flirting.
by FANNY Y. CORY.
tCopyrisht. 1927

There may be some lost arts and
dead languages. but flirting isn't
among the number of these has-beens.
It's as old as the hills, as new as the
shingle bob. Women may have
changed the styles of switch and skirt.
but If they are short on dress and
hair, they are just as long on the goo
goo eyes.
You see, a girl likes to have a GER
tain kind or grade Of love, but she
likes to keep the lover at a distance.
That's why she starts flirting.
Then girls like to tease the men and
make themselves believe that they are
attractive to the superior sex. Where
a man is satisfied to use his arts Of
lady killing to get one or two speci-
mems. a woman acts as though she
wanted to kill all the men and ex
terminate the whole race of EN-.
OF course. a girl flirts naturally and
unconsciously, just as humming
bird huns and chipmunk chips. She
may be advertising her charms the
way the manufacturer of soap. talcum
powder or stockings does. but she has
no such definite purpose in her dis
play of charms. It's just natural with
her. It's a gift.
But believe that, deep down in the
heart OI WOIIldH, Tic IIlOtlVS Vi
the tiirt is something esthetical. 1t is
the desire for expression, and that is
art. That natty hat, those nifty
pumps and the tricky stockings are
just so many forms OF her woman's
art.
Woman is artistic and dramatic,
too. All the worlds a stage for her,
and her get-up is really her makeup.
The talented woman may express her
self on stage and screen, but the girl
who has been gypped out Of the
chance to act Is going to start little
show Of her own.
1 know there may be a certain
matrimonial twist to all this flirting
business, and the girl who togs her
self up may have the idea of orange
blossoms under her bob. Her little
ears may be muffled by the mud
guards she combs over them, but you
won't have to use the loud speaker
when it comes to talking marriage.
She'll hear, all right.
That's woman for you! She may
look independent, now that she has
the job, but she's all ready to take the
man down to the Office and say to the
other girls, Meet the husband"

Thereupon, Davis informed the COM

The company refused to refund the
money, asserting that. having mis-

attorney declared:
I'm a majority Of States the courts
hold that misrepresentation by the

him from his ordinary right Of re-

The Right Food Is the Best Medicine

Lemonade made with bran water is
exceptionally good to use. Bran is
very rich in iron and vtamins. A
gallon Of hot water should be poured
into a pint of bran and sweetened with
honey or molasses. cooled and

furnish energy value and these sweets
have vitamins where graduated sugar
has not.
After the shower nothing should be
taken for half an hour. Let the body
calm down. Then leisurely eat a
simple meal of easily digested foods.
