Incorrect Sitting Causes
Poor Health in Later Life
Contracted Chest apd Relaxed Alb
domen are Factors in Inducing
Ill Health

st. Paul, Sept. 12.-That incor.
rect standing or sitting postures in
youth are the causes of some o1
the diseases in later life was point
/ ed out in bulletin by the health
committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association. this week. The
statement declares that these pos
lures are not inherited as is COM
monty believed but are the result
of faulty training in standing OF
sitting. In Maryland and several
other states a campaign to correct
these habits is being actively con-
Quoted through the schools and
health organizations.
"Poor posture is generally the
result of bad habits and like other
habits, is acquired through mat
tention or Indifference" declares
the bulletin. Moreover it has
been definitely shown that good
posture, that is an upright posi-
ton when standing or sitting with
the chest prominent and the abdo-
men fiat furthers health; while
contracted chest and relaxed alb
domen are often factors in Undue
ing i'll health.
''The causes of these facts are
not far to seek. A narrow chest
contracted in any direction, dimin-
ishes the space required for the
normal extension of the lungs, and
free action of the heart, conSe-
quently these organs are often less
able to Withstand diseases and
strain when thus unduly hampered.
Again, the prominent relaxed alb
domen which is so often present in
children with stopped shoulders and
weak abdominal muscles, permits
the sagging of the stomach and in
testines, with a consequent stretch
ing of the nerves and blood vessels
supplying them, and so it inter
feres with digestion. These form
what doctors call a vicious circle.
The sagging abdomen tends to
bring on indigestion, and this in
turn produces further relaxation.
"These abnormal conditions are
not necessary; they are more apt
to occur in some children than in
others, but they can nearly always
be prevented or corrected in their
early stages, by giving attention to
upright posture when standing and
sitting, and by taking simple set
ting up exercises night and morn
ing, under a physicians direction
Gin the examination of thousands
of young children in Maryland
too large a proportion were found
to have defective postures. Be-
cause this may have a far reaching
influence on their subsequent
health, the matter is brought to the
attention of their parents, so that
while it is possible, this important
physical handicap may be corrected
or cured"

Rubber Bootleggers
 .,.. Upset Stevenson Act

LONDON, Jan. 4 = Rubber smuggling is believed by experts in Mincing Lane to be responsible for unexpectedly large shipments of rubber from British Malaya during August. At least 1,000 tons more rubber were exported than should have been under the Stevenson Limitation Act of tn ? Government.
 Plans to prevent this bootleg ging of rubber are under con sideration. It is likely that ex- port coupons will be limited to the three months for which the credits are granted
 At present, estates with nn- used coupons may export in ex- cess of the quota in force by using the carried over credits. This is declared to confuse the market and makes it difficult to detect the dealers who are not living up to Government require ments.

RADIO IS USEFUL
IN EDUCATION WORK
65 Institutions Sponsor Air
Lectures as Aids to
Text Books.

The three fundamental Rs, reading.
riting and rithmatic. are in process of
being supplemented by fourth-radio
by virtue of the increasing use of the
ether waves as a means of disseminating
courses of instruction to listeners.
| Already IS educational institutions
throughout the country are. using radlo
either in giving lectures or in conduct
ing other extension work, and 1nstruc-
ton in this manner is becoming gen.
eral with college and university extern
sion divisions. While these courses are
primarily for adults. successful expert
ment with classes of grammar school
age has been made by station WEEl OF
Boston and will be continued on more
| elaborate scale.
| College and university extension di-
visions are finding radio an incalculable
aid. This method, which usually sup
plements the text book or other lesson
material, involves the broadcasting by
the institution of detailed information
| in regard to the lesson, outlining the
main points and explaining the differ
ent passages. The student, after re-
ceiving the radio instruction and sup
plementing 1t by the study OF text BOOKS
or other material. writes out his lesson
as in regular correspondent courses and
sends it to the instructor in charge OF
the subject at the university
The Federal Bureau of Education out
| lines a few of the advantages OF radio
extension work thus: % 1t creates
more interest and probably reaches
many more people than does regular
correspondence instruction. 90 1t saves
time required otherwise for transmit
| ting the lesson by mail to the student.
| 80 1t enables the instructor to give
whatever emphasis is needed by using
the voice instead OF the pen. a. 1t
| enables the instructor to bring into his
discussion more timely illustrations OF
the subject studied than is possible by
correspondence courses alone.
A wide variety Of topics is covered
| in existing radio extension courses.
For instance, the division Of university
extension of the Massachusetts, State
Department of Education. since 1t or
ganized its radio course four years ago,
has included such subjects AS house,

sic contemporary American literature,

writer of our day, business psychology,
backgrounds of English literature,
psychology of understanding people.

Radio Fan Complains of Broadcasters
Failure to Announce Station Letters

WKBQ of New York one night ran
through seven numbers without an an
nouncement." He said that he was OF
the opinion that one Of the rules Of
the commission was that broadcasting
stations ARE supposed to frequently an
nounce their call letters"
In connection with Mr.. Meyers let
ter it was recalled that letters from the
DIX" fans are becoming fewer. with
the constant improvement being made
by the industry in radio receiving sets.
For the most part the complaints from
this class of listeners deal with inter-
ference and heterodyning. Apparently
the march of progress being made by
radio is tending to eliminate the long
distance hunters, but they still exist in
sufficient numbers to be heard when
ever something goes wrong for any ex-
tended length of time.
Mr.. Meyers also offered the commits
sion a bit of advice on the matter Of
adjusting its ALLEGATION of wave and
power assignments to stations. Declar-
ing that he had been ok" hunting
for the past six years, he said that he
had built many receivers and that the
best results were attained when 1000
watt station was the limit. II am con-
WINGED that 500 to 1000 watts give ex-
cellent results" he wrote.
