The Leg Beautiful Fmal Exercise

SO cheer up! There Is some consola-

faithful following OF these exercises

undergone, I'm sure you are relieved
to know that they are not going to
continue indefinitely.
Dumbells-athletic ones. not the
human variety-are supposed to
play an important part in today's
exercise. but for those OF you who
do not wish TO combine the reducing

in this way until you have kicked UP

to seek adventure in the "seamy side" of life. Stay much in the open

Stand for feminist deveopment-not license. Prepare yourself

hold fast to your sense of proportion. Don't be a grind
Preserve your charm. Guard against "grl crushes." Don't be-
come overaffectionate. It's a fine thing to have real friendships, but
don't sentimentalize fooishly over other girls, or let them sicken you
with exaggerated caressing.
Don't marry too early or accept the first man that proposes. An
infatuation is a very different thing from true love. The society of
should be cultivated, but don't excuse and permit liberties under
the plea of modernity, nor develop the attitude of the prude that all
men are icentious. Play the game squarely. Be true to yourself as
well as to others.
In order to make good as a daughter, therefore, you must continue
the character-bulding begun by your parents, while at the same time
you are learning to shape your own course. Maintain always a frank
and loving relationship with them, sighting neither the one nor the
other. You owe your parents gratitude for whatever the results may
be. They undoubtedly did their best for you.
In conclusion, you make good as a daughter when you give always
to your parents the homage of a devoted and reverent affection, keep

justfyng their pride, you have travelled far from the dreams they had
of your career.
AS a modern girl you have still much to learn.

The above principles are those Of tried and proved psychological
worth.

Geneva Attracts Prominent Youths
Taking Small Jobs to Study League

The latest newcomer to Geneva Is
James w. Thornton, son Of Sir Henry
Thornton, Canadian railway magnate.
Thornton, having finished his schooling
at the Royal Military Academy, at
Kingston. is looking at the other side
of the picture. The peace machinery
of the League, as we'll as its technical
branches which are designed to pro-
mote international cooperation rather
than national rivalrieS, is receiving his
special attention.
Having been converted almost imme-
diately to the potentialities of the
League as an instrument for promoting
international understanding, and real
iZing the important part the Geneva
organization might play in the future
history of the world. Sir Henry imme-
diately decided that it was the place
for his son--and all other youths of the
oncoming generation who will have TO
tackle an increasingly complicated and
industrialized world. So James w.
Thornton put aside the military &C
coutrements of the royal military and
is now wrestling with the world problems
that are dumped on Geneva for solution.
OF late Geneva has become very pop
ular as postgraduate" center, both
for students interested in political as
we'll as economic, financial and social
problems.
Through its intellectual cooperation
section the League encourages all forms
of international education in Geneva
and elsewhere, but obviously it cannot

number of students. Those who man.

the chances are good for those who can
give proof of their sincerity and seri-
ous-mindedness..

Hopes for Benefits
Throughout the World.
BY FERNANDO GONZALES RoA,
Delegate from Mexico.

Delegate from Mexico
The Conference on Cancellation and Arbitra-
ton is continuation of the Havana Conference
for it was in the latter after the brilliant dis
course delivered by the delegate from Panama
on behalf of the principle of arbitration, that
the subject received some consideration. 1t IS
hoped that the results of the conference will be
greatly beneficial to this hemisphere, as well as
to the rest of the civilized world.
This is the first time that the principle OF
obligatory arbitration has acquired an inter-
national aspect, and the matter will be made the
subject of close study and consideration as pro-
vided for in resolution adopted by the Sixth
Pan-American Conference. The conference will
most aSsuredly establish some system whereby
this principle may be extensively applied.
The conference itself already constitutes great
step, regardless of the results, tor it will demon
strate to the world that the American states are
eager and willing to support the principle OF
arbitration.
Mexico, during the course of its Independent
life. has always been an avowed adherent OF
arbitration Mexico is ardently against the sou-
ton of conflicts by force of arms. War is one
of the greatest caamities to the welfare OF ma
tions. All measures which may be adopted by
the conference to avoid it should be looked upon
with enthusiasm and warmly praised by all with
out regard to political opinions creeds or races.

of the American con-
tinent, who have been
exerting from genera
ton to generation their
unselfish and constant
efforts toward giving
the principle of arbitra-
ton the widest possible
scope, striving in the
meantime to conciliate
the divergent views con-
cerning this modern
ideal.

that it's labors will i'm

will serve as a great

I believe that the
labors of the conference
will materially aid in
