sport" said Representative William
Conroy of Massachusetts,, the principal
speaker, "but we must be careful not
to overdo our activities and to select

choose your sports wisely and learn to
love them-but not too WELL"

to a toast. when we begin to feel
overtired when the game we are play
ing becomes work to uS-then it is no

the maintenance of good health, and
health is beauty" said Helen Johnson,
former chairman of the sports section

secret of beauty will find it right there.
Beauty is not, as you have heard it
said, skin Deep" 1t emanates from

health" said william w. Richardson,
president of the Red Triangle Outing
Club" and hiking is one of the forms
of exercise which can recommend

rough country, rocky hills to climb, or
the long, easy wanderingS of the well
beaten paths within radius of few
miles of Washington If he follows the
reckoning of the surrounding woods
and the river pathways"
