clearly expresses the thought. This being true,
suppose we get acquainted with the correct stand
ing position rs it is known today.
Perhaps this rigid conception Of correct
standing is a throw-back to the days when we
squared our shoulders, clicked our heels to-
gether and stuck out our chests when teacher"
called the line to attention How my back used
to ache after a few minutes of this precise, rigid
attitude! Today. we know that the correct stand
ing position means flexible or relaxed erectness,
the distinction being drawn between an erect
posture and taut muscles. To stand correctly
one should draw the torso up to its full height,
but no tensinS4of muscles should occur during
this action. rs just an easy, slow movement
that slowly stretches out the muscles 50 that by

ponder these statements. For the boys, however,
I'm sure it will be worth while to listen.
The average boy who has a pimply face
does not wash himself clean. Please do not mis-
understand me. He may use more soap and
water than his brother or friend who has a clear
skin. But some faces require far more water,
soap ard scrubbing than do others.
If the skin has large pores and is inclined
to be greasy, it takes a lot Of care to cleanse
it thoroughly. Hard water and a ~slap-dash bath
ing won't do.
AS a matter Of fact, IL Is surprising how
much dirt may be left on the skin after what may
be regarded as pretty thorough washing. Wet
the corner Of the towel with a little alcohol and
after you think the face is clean, rub it over
the neck or forehead-you will be embarrassed
to see how black the cloth becomes.

25 FIRENEN WIN
PROMOTIONS

Twenty-Five members OF the Met
ropolitan Fire Department are to
be promoted May 1 and nine addi-
tional privates are to be named,
Fire. Chief George s. Watson an.
nounced today.
The promotions win be-: six lieu
tenants to be captains, nine ser.
geants to be Meutenants and nine
privates to be sergeants.
These will be the first promo
tions to be made by the Fire De
partment from eligibles who have
taken the Civil Service examine
tons under the new regulations Vi
the District.
Recently 152 firemsn took the
examinations, but many failed,
Those failing win, for the most
part, take the examinations to be
held again for promotions and the
new company to be formed on
July l.,
The Civil Service Commission has
certified the names OF seven cap
tains, 10 sergeants and 10 hen-
tenants as having passed the ex-
aminations and being eligible Tor
promotion. Twenty-Five privates
passed the examinations.
While these figures indicate that
only q small percentage or the fire-
men were able to make passing
marks, it was indicated that others
also made the grade, but their
names have not reached the lire
chief.
The highest mark made in the
examination was by Lieut.. George
G. Meeks, personal aide to Fire
Chief Watson. His promotion to
a captaincy is regarded as certain.
Chief Watson announced that the
list OF promotions probably. will be
before the District Commissioners
next Tuesday for final action.
