George Washington AS Father
Of the City Of Washington

The anniversary Of the birth OF George Washington today
finds the whole nation honoring his memory
Nowhere II this broad land should these hOnO be more
deep than in this National Capital founded largely
upon the influence and Iabors Of Washington.
The City Of Washington truly the creation Of the first
President Of the United States aided by few patriots Of the
countrys early days.
The establishment Of capital Of the republic produced
ieaous IN Congress than other subject There
intense rivalry to the location. Washington and
Jefferson and leaders from Maryland and few other States
wanted the National Capital somewhere along the Potomac
Massachusetts New York Pennsylvania and Delaware
thought the capital should be located in their respective States
The Pennsylvania members Of Congress most determined
upon PhadepMa point the Susquehanna River
Even after Congress had voted to establish the National
Capital the Potomac and had appointed commission to
select the se with Washington at its head there continued
etantly seeking to overturn its action.
Nothing but the powerful influences Of Washington
Jefferson and few others prevented Congress for number
p years, changing its action.
For years after the present site Of Washington had been
hoen surveys made and the building Of city started there
as bitterness in Congress The site violently criticized
Ind the selfish landowners in this vicinity attacked
President Washington not only had to appease Congress- but
smooth out constant chickering's among some
g whom failed to cooperate with the commission appointed
p take charge Of the embryo city.
There unceasing trouble and discomfort after Wash
mgon left the White House. and city founded
"a travail, Washington one.
The finances the struggling young city in bad shape
Cor quarter Of century. At the beginning the only
revenues derived from the sales Of lots belonging to the
Government, and these sales often disappointing
The erection of the Capitol and the White House
delayed through lack of money and through chickering's
architects officials and citizens many before
Congress gave any financial assistance to the Capital City
Virginia and Maryland aided considerably.
The site for the Capitol caused iealousies property
holders and gave for attacks in Congress
There little question that had it not been for Washington
the National Capital would have been located somewhere else
There doubt also that Of all the problems connected with
the founding Of republic the one to the location and
building of National City where it is gave Washington
trouble than other

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-RY DE-. Q. a. y. Reed

VoUR Indulgence In more Or.
less systematic physical ex-
srcise, especially IL you lead
sedentary life. Is really essential
TO your well being. In doing this,
however. 1t Is important to avoid
certain pitfalls. One OF these con-
sists In the abuse, or misuse, OF
what Is called span bending.
Span bending is the exercise In
physical training in which the
pupil stands with his feet apart
and his hack to a set Of wall
bars, at a distance Of some
inches from them. Throwing his
chest and head back, he grasps
q bar. and is then made TO rise
on the toes and press firmly
against the bar with his hands,
thereby strengthening out the
curve Of his back by force.
This exercise has been taught In
the United States and British
navies and armies probably ever
since there was any physical train
Ing, and is supposed to produce an
erect carrige Of the body and a
freely movable and resilient chest
cage. It's great merit is there
fore. according to the instructors,
that it flattens out the natural
curve forward OF the back Of the
shoulders-the "dorsal curvature"
Commander Hill, director Of
physical training In the British
Navy, shows here that 1t is a
most disastrous assault on the
human form; one Of the most dan.
gerous exercises which it is pos-
sible to set. 1t is a most danger
Gus thing to tamper with the nat.
ural curves Of the spine. The
ideal spine II often called the
straight" spine, and this has led
to all kinds Of confusion in gym.
nastics. The question depends on
what you call straight.
The medically straight spine Is
one which gives an erect carriage
to the body, has all it's curves in
natural proportion to one another,
and Is quite free from any lateral
curvature. Too many physical
training instructors want to take
the word straight" in it's literal
sense and to make the vertebrae
like q tower Of children's bricks,
with no curves at all but those at
the hollow Of the back and the
tail. This kind of spine Is
most defective one.
If the normal shape Of the
spine is tempered with, there Is a
danger of abnormal curves being
developed elsewhere. The instruc-
tor sees a man with gorilla"
stoop and yearns to correct it, so
he sets him to span bending until
the excessive curve is all straight
ened away. The result, however,
Is often to produce a "pouter
pigeon" chest, the kind which is
pushed forward and upward, and
to oVer-extend the lower part OF
the spine, making the back much
too hollow. Moreover, this new
position Of the thorax disturbs the
relationship OF all the organs,
vessels and nerves that are con-
tanned in it, SO that they drag at
each other by their weight or by
being out Of place.
If this drag" acts on tissues
which contain nerves, the nerves
are irritated and stimulate some
other organ lying either near by
or far way. This means a mum.
Der of symptoms Of distress, OF
which one of the commonest Is
the irritable heart"

'VAMPINGL
LESSON l
BY Helen Rowland
BE Yourself
-. nsan.....s ..sun

Be Yourself
DE YOURSELF!
This Ii the first law Of
's.vamping'-and the whole secret
Of charm and magnetism.
Personality II that drop Of "dif.
ference that God put into every
human soul. It IL the light that
shines through and makes you
radiant.
A pose hides your light under
a busheI of artificiality and self
consciousness. It dims your
radiance like q fussy lampshade.
Some girls turn on the "sex.
appeal" with every glance. They
flutter and shrug and look I'M
utterable things, until men sprint
for safety at sight OF them.
others swagger. and do the
"LittIe Brother" man-to-man
stuff until men either chuckle
with mirth or shudder at their
approach. No man admires q
poor imitation of himself. And
there Is something positively un.
canny about q soft feminine little
thing disguised In three.ply col.
lars and babbling in slang and
swear words, with q cigarette
dangling from the corner OF her
mouth. God made you q woman.
Why not pass for one?
Still other girls pretend to be
cold and cynical and hardboiled
when they are really yearning to
be genial and sweet and respon-
sive. They have a confused idea
that this iron-clad, you-can' t-put-
anything-over.on-ME pose is
"unruffled poise." But 1t no
more resembles POISE than a
musical comedy resembles life.
It is as unconvincing as tight
corset on a fat dowager.
Most women would rather be
CUTE than President! The
average woman insists on getting
herself up like a "cutey," no
matter whether she resembles the
Washington Monument or Grants
Tomb. She will be kittenish and
cuddly and talk baby talk, If it
kills you! She's somebody's lit
tie girl' every minute OF the
time.
There is hardly q girl who
hasn't pet pose" which she
puts on every morning with her
makeup. But a pose never gets
across with the right people. It
merely fills them with boredom
or amusement or mal-de-mer.
When in doubt-pay triumph!
And every girls real trump in the.
love game Is naturalness, spon.
taneity-personality.
Not all men are attracted by
the same things in women. Some
men admire pep, jazziness and a
ready wit, but many more are
charmed by sweetness, serenity
and sympathy. Some men like a
strong, breezy girl who can swing
a wicked golf stick, but many
more prefer q fluffy, feminine
dumbbeIl who knows how to lis
ten and gaze up at them ador-
ingly.
Find your winning card and
play it UP, down and all over
the board. And don't peep over
your neighbours shoulder to rec
what card she's laying.

If you love, selfishly, posses.
sively, jealously, with an unclean,
covetous mind, such love will al
ways hurt you, even though 1t be
sanctioned by every law Of church
and state.
But If you love unselfishly, with
sympathy and tolerance, hoping
only to serve the other life, such
love will never hurt you. It
will strengthen and revive your
own life and every life. it
