This is the fourteenth of series of
exercises by a noted authority, health
adviser to New forks "4O0.''
BY JAG AUER
Written for NEA Service
ID EDUCING exercises should be
N enjoyable. But there must be
some work in them or they will
fail to given one that sense of zest
that comes from a good workout.
I have said before that to be
perfectly healthy, think every one
should exercise hard enough to
perspire freely at least twice a
week. The most eff1cacious exer-
else for this is the medicine ball
kick.
It reduces all along the line.
Hips. thigh, abdomen, calf and an
kle all come in for their share of
workout. And the muscles of the
back are strengthened and the
blood is sent circulating through
the body, renewed by having thrown
off its waste matter.
There are three steps in learn
ing how to kick the medicine ball
so that it thoroughly exercises the
entire body. Do it in the follow
ing manner:
1. Stretch out on the floor on
your back, hands under head, feet
together.
2. Draw your knees up to your
chest, and as the medicine ball is
thrown to you, kick it with both
feet, vigorously, so that you feel
your leg and back muscles stretch.
3. Then, keeping the right foot
stretched out on the floor, draw
the other knee up and kick the
medicine ball with the left foot
only.
4. Change feet, stretching out
the left, kicking with the right.
Medicine bali exercises should be
the elimination of several minutes
of limbering up, rather than the
starting point of reducing to round
the 1880 curves. Start with only a
few kicks the first day; increase the
number until you have a ten or
fifteen minute period. You will be
surprised with the invigorating eff
feet of this exercise.

WASHINGTON. May lO.-Uncle
Sam Is growing more slowly than
ever before. The rate of population
increase in the last decade was
smaller than that in any previous
period.
That is the opinion of veteran
Census Bureau experts as pre-
liminary figures or the 1880 census
begin to pile up.
The population OF the United
States will be found to be between
10, 000. 900 and 10. $50. 000-that Is
as close an unofficial guess as they
are to make at this time. The
count may be near 122.125. 900. IN
1920 the nations population was
los 2 $40: in 1910, 81, 972, 266; III
1900, z 5.994,57 z
Birth control, higher living
standards. later marriages. more
women at work-these are the
main factors which have gone with
drastically restricted immigration
to cut the rate of increase, accord
ing to the governments best au-
thorities.
The population increased i4p
per cent between 1910 and 1920, as
against p per cent in the previous
decade. For the 1920-l930 period It
IS likely to fall below IA per cent.
Most Of the increase has been urban.
Birth Rate Falling
The birth rate has dropped. year
by year. from 23.7 births per 1000
population in 1920 to 1877 in 1928,
with an indicated further decrease
for 1929. Falling birth rates have
been noted In nearly all civilized
nations.
Communities throughout the
country are learning their 1880
population from district supervisors
before the returns are sent to Wash
ington, a departure from previous
custom.
The Census Bureau expects 70
issue preliminary figures as to the
population Of the entire United
States on July /. on the basis OF
the reports Of the district super
visors. This probably will tally
closely with the firal official count.
as the supervisors totals are used
in paying off the enumerators. The
bureau is required to return its Of
ficial count for Congress when ii
meets in December.

pons for the use Of persons who
had been missed in the census and
wanted to make the fact known
There r always a few persons
omitted on the first general count.
IL is explained here.
Right now nearly all the sched-
ules are scattered over the country
in the hands Of he supervisors.

be all in before they are sent to
