 Supple muscles, endurance and the necessary development of the heart and lung capacity can be acquired without the arduous grind through an understanding of diet ing ard health rules and consistent ordinary training, Dr. Bohm as serted.
 Besides developing the athlete such training will make him live longer than the individual who has not had the denefit of athletic work" declared the trainer.

Advocates OF q big navy have received a setback n
popular opinion that they cannot easily overcome.
The allegations of William D. Shearer. q naval Expert.
that he was employed by corporations interested in
war ship construction to defeat the disarmament ne
gotiations at Geneva. indicate a conspiracy to foster
preparedness for profit. Moreover. Bhearer htimates
that a part Of the propaganda he sponsored was fe-
signed to stir suspicion and hatred among the powers
interested in the disarmament proposals. President
Hoover has demanded that the Bethlehem 6hipbuild-
ing corporation, the American Brown Boveri Electric
corporation and the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock company. against which Shearer brought
suit, present their side or the controversy. No matter
how innocent the responsible heads Of these corpora
tions may prove themselves to be. Shearers statement
OF what ne, himself, did in this matter will be fiffi-
cult to refute.
Popular opinion FRI America undoubtedly tavors
peace and further disarmament. Only future develop
menss can prove whether this public opinion Is rise
or foolish, but Il does represent the wish Of the vast
majority. beyond doubt. That opinion will be ire
mendously strengthened by the allegation that he
shipbuilding interests would promote potential rauSes
OF friction merely for the purpose Of augmenting p-i-
rate profits.
If America should be involved in another war soon.
the people. as usual. would regret that the nation Is
not better prepared. With no war threatening. how
ever. there is righteous resentment against tiny plot
more likely to provoke International hostiities. That
Is a natural feeling. and the corporations involved in
Shearer's statement viii have difficulty allaying the
belief that the people have been imperiled TO make
dividends for the shipbuilders. This public ientiment
will be appreciably reflected In congress. President
Hoover he's taken a popular stand He might have
ignored what may be no more than the spleen OF a
former employe Of the corporations. He chooses
rather TO get the full facts Of the case. that the public
may have clearer understanding on which to base its
opinion.
