straightWay adopted it. Home coming
programs were made and the poppy
idea was introduced into them.
Miss Michael wrote her congress-
man, Charles III. Brand, and he re-
piled on December TO- 1918: Il am
writing today the War department in
behalf of your suggestion that the
poppy be adopted as the national en-
blem in commemoration Of our SOL
diers who died in France"
Miss Michael wrote to many insti-
tutions of education, women's clubs
and other organizations, explaining
that as it was impossible to have tri-
umphal arches or great memorials in
all places from which came the heroes
of the World war, she begged them to
adopt the poppy as tribute to the
men who won the victory.
"Out of every great event of the
world has come an emblem" she
wrote, "'Lest we forget Into this
war went many emblems: The flags
of nations, the Red Cross, the Red
Triangle, the service flag and pin.
Now out of this war should come some
symbol perpetually to remind us and
unfailingly to teach coming genera
lions the value of the light of liberty
and our debt to those who so valiant
ly saved it for u.s."
On the eve of the Georgia State
convention Of the American Legion,
August 10 and 20, 1920, in Augusta,
Miss Michael went to the Legion head
quarters in Atlanta and turned over
to them her arguments concerning the
adoption Of the poppy. Charles NJ
Galliene Of Post No. l, Atlanta, took
charge of the material and presented
the movement to the convention. 1t
was adopted and the delegation to the
national convention was instructed to
present it at Cleveland, Ohio, and to
lsuppe.t the resolutions. The resolu-
tons were presented to the national
convention, N September, 1920, and the
poppy became the National American
Legion Memorial Flower.
The happy inspiration which this
southern woman had has not been con-
fined in it's result to this country alone.
For her idea has spread to other coun-
tries. Madam e. Guerin of Paris read
Miss Michael's poem pledgng to
keep the Faith" and her plans for
wearing poppies to memorabilia the
sacrifices Of the war. She immediate
ly organized the American and French
Chtldrpn'S lpapllp and cold nn,,piac for
the benefit of the orphans In France.

In an official report, which she issued
on February s, 1922, from Canada
on Poppy days, she announced: "The
great war veterans have sold 100000

 as they go in protecting the fistic customer, but the most effective of all measures taken to save box ing from going under for the third time is the radical ruling of the New York State boxing commis- sion that bouts no longer can b, won or lost on fouls.
 Foul blows SJlll will be foul anG the perpetrator penalized by loss of the round in which he strikes below the belt, but the gladiator in New York ring who goes through all the pantomime of agony and collapse will forthwith be counted out, instead of being given the decision
 Unfortunately this is not retro active, otherwise such flimsy vic- tories as Phil Scott scored over Otto Von Porat, Max Schmeling over Jack Sharkey, could be made null and void.
 The ruling should immediately restore the acrobatic arbiter, Lou Magnolia, to an Al rating as re- fierce Lou was somewhat severely criticized after the Sharkey-Scot fiasco in Miami for doing exactly what the New York Solons now have decided is the best thing. Magnolia not only ruled out the foul claims of the Briton, Scott, but gave Phil the benefit of an extra minutes rest.
 Gene Tunney was the first to make the flat statement that a fighter wearing proper protec- tor, could not be hurt when struck low.
 The former champion declared himself to newspapermen just be- fore the Miami melee. To illus trate, 1e recalled the now famous story of lis bout with rough, tough old Chuck Wiggins, who turned to the arbiter after being clearly hit low for thS third time by Tunney and remarked:
 Say, MT. Referee, that WAS lowin

Get Out i'm
the Open

Get out in the open. There is said
to be more real value in the spring
sun than in that which heats, boils,
broils and sizzles us in the summer
time. :,
So if you can possibly manage it,
get out into the country. Use your
car, your neighbours car, the trolley
car, a kiddie car, choo- choo car
or any kind of a car-but get out In
to the country. When you get there,
walk along a stream, up over a hill,
through q field, along a violet
strewed road, anywhere and every
where, breathing deeply, basking. in
the sun, and learning about Mother
Nature at first hand.
Take the kiddies and get them
started on leaf collection, a butter
fly collection, a stone collection, an
insect collection, or flower collec-
ton. 1t will take you out more Of
ten if you have something to go for.
Eat luncheon outdoors-either a
hot or cold one. Paddle in the
stream when the days get warm.
Make up a bouquet of violets or
spring beauties for the dresser at
home. You'll never regret it.

make an answer here for Vivian G.
You, of course, realize, Vivian, that
there is lot of difference between
plumpness and being "fat," but this
difference is usually in numbers OF
pounds alone, and when you get
plump il becomes comparatively easy
for you to go on and gain more
pounds and grow fat. Therefore,
"plumpness" becomes more or less a
real danger to woman who wants
to keep looking her very best.
Here is little secret that one OF
the great movie stars gave me a num-
Der of years ago and am sure that
you will find it works one hundred
p: cent.
Clear off the floor of your bed room,
lie fiat down on your back and roll
over. Roll over again and again, 60
ing just as tar as you can and then
tLll back and roll the other way.
Do it rather vigorously.
You should do this even If you have
passed the plump stage because the
more vigorously you do it, the more
quickly you will roll off pounds.
After you have spent five or ten
minutes rolling back and forth - not
half-heartedly but in real earnest =
get up and take hot bath. Have
the water just as hot as you can en-
dure it and lie in the bath for sew
eral minutes utterly relaxed. Then
turn on the cold water, at the same
time allowing the hot water to escape.
You can make this even better if
you will go to your hardware store
or your ten-cent store and get your
self a shower bath attachment that
can be attached over any ordinary
bath tu1. Turn the water on at about
medium and enjoy shower as fin
ishing off to your hot bath.
Continu. the water until it is cold
and then dry yourself quickly. The
cold water gives a firmneSs to the
flesh and the hot water melts away
the fat.
I shall be glad indeed to hear from
fat folks who want further help.

FAILS ID PREVENT ANOTHER AUTOPSY
Army Officer Unable to Stop
 Probe Of Wiie'S Death

Honolulu, Oct. @3 (P) -. Efforts of Colonel Granville Sevier, U. s. A., to prevent the performance of a second autopsy on the body of his wife, who died more than two years ago, apparently of heart trouble, had failed today.
 A petition by Colonel Sevier seek ing an injunction to restrain Sheriff Patrick Gleason from holding an other post mortem. which was or dered last February after Mrs. Se-' vier's brother, Ralph Shainwald, had requested the examination on the ground she might have died of poi soning, was denied yesterday by Cir cult Judge Steadman
 The first autopsy resulted in a finding that Mrs Sevicr died of acue cardiac dlation.
 Before her marriage, Mrs. Sevier was Miss Marion Shainwald of 1rv- iugton, N. Y. Her death in August, 1928, resulted in inheritance of her $700,000 estate by Colonel Sevier.
 Sheriff Gleason, who is also the coroner, said he would confer with Deputy County Attorney Tavares be- fore announcing a date for the sec ond autopsy.
 The court held performance Of an autopsy rested entirely in the coro- ner's discretion, and the fact one autopsy had already been held did not preclude another if the coroner thought such action necessary.
