thing in her story to interest every
girl and woman. On this theory,
1 went to the gymnasium of the
Philadelphia Turngemeinde, the
largest gymnastic club in the Unit
ed States, and sought out Roberta
Ranck who has had just such re-
markable history.
The first question / asked was
how she had managed the physical
transformation that had enabled
her to capture every major wom-
ans gymnastic' championship at
Churchill Downs, Kentucky, in
1926, and to follow that up by
acquitting herself with distinction
at the International Gymnastic
Festival at Cologne, Germany, last
summer. In reply she pointed to
G.H. Heineman, the Turngemeinde's
Physical Director. There's the
man who built up my health and
strength" she said. Hell tell you
how he did it"
A Sound Prescription
Mr.. Heineman was coaching one
of his classes of girl gymnasts, but
he took time off to tell me what
wanted to know. PLENTY of sleep,
plenty of exercise and plenty Of
good, wholesome food-that was
my prescription" he assured me.
Il suppose you made her stick t.
one of those terrible training
diets" ! said with a shudder,
"boiled potatoes and spinach and
other things like that"
Mr.. Heineman smiled at my ve-
hement disgust and shook his head
in denial. Roberta and all those
girls you see out there" he said,
pointing to his class, "eat just such
foods as every normal person

victims of any freak diet.
"It's my firm conviction" Mr..
Heineman continued, "that you
can't build a strong and healthy
body on any diet that eliminates
or appreciably reduces the essen
tial energizing foods. The physi-
cal condition of a great majority
of the girls who are struggling to
attain boyish figure at any price
is proof enough of that. Their
lack of stamina makes them sus-
ceptible to sickness and fatigue,
and it's a handicap to them in
everything they do.
"They deprive themselves Of
sugar or some of the other carbo-
hydrates in an effort to cut down
on their daily consumption Of
calories and what's the result?
Take sugar as an example. When
they eliminate sugar and sweets
they rob themselves of one of the
most valuable Of all the sources of
human energy, and the joke Of it

sively slender feminine figure, but
speaking as a mere man, my plat
form is more curves and fewer
angles, and if you polled my own
sex, / think you'd find that the

Mr.. Heineman is outspoken and
positive in his condemnation of
the fads that govern the diets of
a large proportion of women, but

is without a license to drive, the
Secreta ry of State may refuse to is

the completion of the year, if he

In this connection, motor officials
maintain sort of surveillance over
convicted drunken drivers during
the year, and more than one driver
has had to wait longer than year
for his license because of his reck-
less methods of living during that
period.
The matter of financial RESPONSE
bility for reckless drivers, which
statute is known as the Connecticut
law because it has been in effect in
that State since 1926, is being con-
sidered by motor officials of Della
ware. According to this law, motor
lists who are reckless, have many ac-
cidents, and perhaps are fined once
or twice for some violation, are re-
quired to put up bond of $4,000 to

accidents, and live up to the motor
laws, are not required to post any

In addition to this, persons who
are identified as reckless drivers
find it harder to obtain insurance on
their car and themselves, and in this
way the law has tendency to eau
ton and curb the reckless driver.
Many State motor officials look
with considerable favor on this law,

Massey had his hands full with

bail.
Quite a little discussion arose
among some of the friends of the
accused as to why they should have
been taken to Wilmington for hear

in Dover. They contended the pris-

secure bail at Dover rather than be
taken to Wilmington.
Vertier was the only one of the

that position until the former organ.
, ization was dissolved three years
ago. The Delaware School Auxiliary
was succeeded by the Delaware
School Foundation, which is still ac-
tive in school work, and DIR. Odell
\ became President of that organiza-
ton which position he held at the
time of his death. He was chaplain
of the 18th Pennsylvania Infantry
for more than ten years, was a men,
: ber of the Advisory Board OF the p
F. Collier Magazine Company, and a
= member of the council of the Nation
al Civil Service Reform League.
During the war DR.. Odell accepted
u the position of federal director OF
employment for Wilmington d and
with the aid of a number of other
influential men did much to handle
the employment situation here in
trying manner.
DR.. Odell was a member of the
Wilmington Club and of the Will
mington Country Club. He was also
a member of Westminster Presby-
terian Church and was interested in
Tower Hill School. He had contri-
buted to the Atlantic Monthly, the
Outlook, Ladies Home Journal and
a number of British magazines. He
was the author of number of books
and at the time he was tax en- Ill was
writing a history of education in this
country for which he had gathered
large number of new and interesting
facts.
Did Much for Schools
IT was in connection with the work
of improving the school system of
this State that DR.. Odell was best
known to the people Of Delaware.
AS director of the School Auxiliary
he handled the vast sum Of money
, contributed toward new schools by
Pierre S. DUPONT, aided insecuring
and approving the plans and over
seeing everything in connection. with
the work. The association also gath
cred together vast quantities OF sta
~tistics concerning the schools OF the
State, the first statistics OF the kind
ever compiled in Delaware. Some
idea of the extent of this work can
be gained from the fact that it is
estimated to have cost years work
and more than 100000 in money be-
fore statistics could be secured
which would enable Mr.. DUPONT and
his organization to intelligently map
-out a plan for building schools and
meeting the needs of different locall-
ties. :.
Numerous publications were is
sued by this organization 4n the
school question all of which were
written either by Mr.. DUPONT A1msef,
by DR.. Odell or jointly. They were
the only publications which gave
this desirable information. some Oh
these pamphlets have been adopted
by colleges to train teachers as text
books. In addition to the schools IN |

dependent of even its next door
neighbor that there can be no gem
eral codification of receipts and dis
bursements.
However, 1851 farms have turn
ed their financial records over to the
department of agriculture and from
them it is deduced that cash bal
ance of $1,000 represents all the
cash the average farm of this group
made available to the owner-opera-
tor to pay for his living expenses,
take care of interest and principal of
debts, and make improvements.
The figures may not properly be
used as an average in computations
purporting to apply to all farmers.
They are "representative" in the
sense that they include large and
small farms, profitable and unprofit-
able; they produce prevailing types
of products and are located in all
parts of the country in about the
same proportions as all farms oper-
ated by their owners.
Thus, average gross receipts for
the 1851 farmers reporting in 1928
were $2,608, consisting of $946 from
sales of crops, 1896 from sales of
live stock, $6S9 from sales of live
stock products and $37 from mis-
cellaneous other items.
Average current cash expenses of
these farmers totaled S1,518, con-
sisting of 1894 for hired labor, S238
for live stock bought, 1852 for feed
bought, $67 for fertilizer, SAC for
seed, $184 for taxes on farm prop
erty, $151 for machinery and tools,
and $176 for miscellaneous items.
Receipts less the expenses listed
average $1,000, in addition to which
the farmer used homegrown food
products valued at an average of
S269. The value of fuel used and
the house rent was not reported.
On the other hand, the total of ex-
penses (S1,518) does not include any
allowance for the labor of the far
mer and his family, which was est1-
mated by farmers at an average
value of $76S.
Inventory values showed an in
crease during 1928 averaging S244,
which, with the cash balance of
81 ,090, makes a return from the
farm amounting to 1884.
