It is quite evident that in our evoiu-
ton We walked on all fours at one time.
Some investigators believe that some
Of our troubles come from the fact that
We nave not been using the upright
position long enough to adapt our
organs to this position.
Going back to the habit of all fours
occasionally is q very beneficial prac-
tice. It helps prolapsed organs back
to place and strengthens the abdominal
wall markedly. This is one Of the exer-
cises recommended to women after
childbirth.
Play games with your children walk
ing on all fours 1t is a wonderful
exercise for all the muscles and joints.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN n. QUINN.

Text: "He was rudy. and withal of
beautiful countenance, and goodly TO
look to."--I Sam, XVIII
Thus the Bible describes David, the
shepherd youth, when he appeared be-
fore Samuel to be anointed for the
throne of Israel. He was ruddy"-a sign
Of health and vigor. The youthful activi-
ties OF David put brightness In his eyes,
color In his cheeks and vitality in his
body. His alertness in shephcrding his
fathers fiocks gave him healthy, out
door exercise. developing his body into
a physical perfection and beauty which
made him 'goodly TO look to-"
But for the physical strength and
prowess thus attained. never could
David have stood the heavy strain OF
the struggles and strenuous times
through which he passed In the years
that followed. No Weakling could have
endured what he endured. What he
endured and achieved required man
of superb physical equipment, as we'll as
a man OF great heart and brain.
There have been men who have
achieved great careers in spite OF physi-
cal weakness. But most OF the great
doors among men have been men OF
gtaiwart physical constitution. And they
have not neglected to care for and pre-
serve their strength.
Whether you have been born strong
or weak, your highest success Is pos
sibie only by the conservation of your
health and bodily energy. You can't buy
health and strength at a drug store.
Tn sickness respect health principally:
and In health, action" said Francis
Bacon. Action is the important thing
for the development OF the body and the
preservation Of health
To endure heavy strain you must
have strength. TO do your best work
you must have energy, To have strength
and energy you must have health To
have health you must have action.
Therefore plenty Of exercise.

Baby Locomotion.


The normal baby. If allowed to, be-
gins to make efforts to creep from the
sixth to the eighth month. He usually
tries to stand up by the ninth month
and by the fourteenth is able to walk.
This development of locomotion varies
In different children. some perfectly
health babies developing much later
than others.
The usual method of creeping is on
the hands and knees, but not few
sit on their little bottoms and hitch
themselves along with their feet.
The most unusual method of loco
motion is gonig around on all tours Ike

Advantages i'm Detachable Brims.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

But now, with lady in front Of you
wearing one of the little trick hats
recently saw among some recent French
imports. you would just lean forward
and say, Pardon me, madam, but
would you be so good as to remove
your brim?" You wouldn't think of
letting her take off the rest. because the
little toque that remained would be so
close fitting that II couldn't possibly
make any difference whether it was
taken off or not
suppose the real idea in making
these detachable brims was for the
benefit of the woman who wanted TO
make the most of the space in her
travelling bags. Now that motor travel
has become so general the dreSSmakers
and milliners are constantly asked to
produce hats and gowns that can play
several roles. because most women ike

holiday within the rather limited con-
fines of their motor trunks and boxes.
An evening gown that may be made
to play the role of three merely by the
use of any one of three different sets of
iewelry. or dinner gown that may be
transformed into an afternoon gown
merely by the addition OF lace or silk
Jacket, is the sort of thing that these
motor travellers like to take with them.
And so. why not hat that with

Improving Skin on Neck.

Although the average girl or woman
naturally spends more time and effort
on improving her complexion than on
other phases of beauty culture, there
are cases when the skin on the neck

or rough. Most of us lavish care on
our faces, but forget to do more Tor
our necks than merely keep them clean
A red, coarse appearance of the skin
on the throat and on the upper part
of the chest at the center of the collar

to wind and weather. The face Is pro-

AL SMITH and
HOOVER READY
FOR FIRST'T|LT
Michigan Expected to Give
Initial Test of Power
of Candidates.
BY RAY TUCKER
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The
Michigan primary on April 2 may
furnish the first battle-ground for
Herbert Hoover and Al Smith, the
two leading candidates for the Re-
publican and Democratic presi-
Dental nominations.
Though the Hoover strategists
have not made definite plans for
primary fights. it is expected they
will stay out of the New Hampshire
contest on March Is and the North
Dakota primary on March 20.
Inasmuch as Frank o. Lowden is
expected to make fight for
Michigan. the Hoover people may
be forced to combat him.
Entrance in this engagement
would require filing OF petitions
March 2, and it may lead > formal
announcement Of the Hoover can
didacy before that date.
William Al Comstock of Detroit,
Democratic national committeeman
of Michigan, has Smiths petitions
drawn, signed and ready for sub
mission, according to his friends
here.
While it is hardly expected that
Smith will carry Michigan, the
Democrats are banking on him to
elect two and possibly four Con-
gressmen in the wet city of Detroit.
Two of the men they hope to dis
place are Earl C. Michener and
Grant NJ. Hudson, extreme drys.
Comstock has staked his continu-
ance as national committeeman on
Smith, and it is probable the New
York Governors friends vii not
object to this early tryout. ASCOT
ated with Comstock are Horatio j.
Abbott, chairman of the Democratic
State central committee. and Alfred
Lucking, formerly attorney for
Henry Ford.

with the two factions headed by
Governor Fred w. Green and

Head Off Any Move for

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON, Feb. Fearing
some Republicans opposed to Her
bert Hoover intend to offer Presi-
dent Coolidge the crown a third
time, Senator Robert La Toilette OF
Wisconsin presented an anti-tllird
term resolution in the Senate yes
terday and announced he would
demand an early vote.
La Toilette acted on reports that
Charles D. Hilles. New York nation
al committeeman and vice chair
man of the Republican national
committee, is cooperating with Sec
rotary Mellon to bring about the re-
nomination of the President.
Should Democrats cooperate with
Republican insurgents, the La Fol-
lette resolution might be adopted
But it is uncertain whether Demo
Gratis will become involved in an
internal Republican matter.
Booms Are Launched
Most regular Republicans here
have accepted the Presidents two
statements as final Self-eliminatlon,
and have proceeded with othe'
plans. Two regulars, Curtis OF
Kansas and Willis Of Ohio, have
launched forth as candidates them
selves. Some have attached them
selves to the Hoover movement.
Others are for Lowden or Dawes.
Most of these we're ready to support
Coolidge until he said he did not
choose to run. Having burned their
bridges behind them, it would be
hard for some of them to retreat.
Few Republicans here believe Mr..
Coolidge would accept denomination
and practically all long ago dis
missed him from consideration.
When he said last August he did not
choose to run, many refused to &C
cept this as final and continued 10
urge his denomination.
But when he told the national
committee last December that this
statement, which he referred to as
having eliminated himself, was tlnal
and must be respected, most Re-

HiIles Holds to Hope
After due reflection, Hilles reap
neared on the scene at a fathering
of Republican leaders at Syracuse
and started a back to-CoohoSe
movement. Undaunted. Hoover's
New York friends grew bolder'
Eilles saw his organization being
torn apart.
He called a conference OF Re-
nublicans at Schenectady last Sat
1,rdav and it was decided to work
for an uninstructed delegation ia
vo~oN'e to Coolidge. Hoover s
friends agreed, to avoid tight and
no. " make new enemies.
Thus, out of the political diff
culties OF the New York national
committee was born the movement
which has SO alarmed Senator La
Toilette.
There was no indication at the
White House today that President
Coolidge, who is somewhat familiar
with the practical difficulties OF
politics, was changing his plans.
