If your hips are. accommodating pades of flesh, get active! Certain exercises, practiced faithfully, will put this extra flesh through such paces that it won't make an en- trance again.
 First of all, stand erect. Never slouch. That defeats your purpose before you begin. Have your legs together and your arms extended in front of you. Separate the arms sidewise, inhale through your nose, and exhale as you bring your arms back to their original position.
 Do this 10 times every morning and every night. Increase the num- Der of times until you can make 100 without ahy special effort.
 The next exercise consists in re- clining on a mat, perfectly relaxed. Think of running water. Pretend that you are a mountain stream, falling down a cliff. Let yourself go. Youil feel the knots coming out. Now, draw your knees up to your chest, then lower them back to the mat again. When you are tired of doing this describe n com plete circle in the air, with first one leg, then the other. in regular bicycle style. Lie on one side. then the other. swinging the leg of tho opposite side.

 I could have shaken her. What kind of children were we grow ing who had to have finer clothes than their parents, who had no more idea of the value of dollar than they had of radium?
 A thousand things come into my mind, little incidents like these that convinced me we were riding for fall. e
 Now let us hope that children will be back to scratch as the rest of us have done, and learn about fife not fire m the angle of fur coats and Jimousines, but from the viewpoint of bread. and butter and perhaps little jelly. Also that a new prosperity will never again develop a class of children who start to go soft at the core when they cut their six-year molars.

ICE AGE SAW END

Huge Castoroide Victim of

The first men in North America
may have encountered an animal
capable of cutting down forests and
building big wooden houses
This creature was the caStoroide.
a relative of the beaver, but approx
imately ten times the size OF the
present animal. according TO a re-
port made TO the American Society
Of M~ammalogists By Alvin III. Calm
of the University OF Illinois, who
has traced the distribution OF the
skeletal remains of the creature
over a great part Of the continent.
This giant which weighed approx
1nately 800 pounds and had teeth 6
inches long. apparently disappeared
at about the close of the last Ice
age, when man is believed TO have
made his appearance. His range
seerns TO have been concentrated In
the Middle Nest, although a partial
skeleton has been found as far
away as Alaska.
The great creature must have been
monarch of all il surveyed, Calm be
lieyes, yet after attaining great
numbers it became extinct quite sud
denly. This may be explained, he
thinks, because of IFS grear special
cation and enormous appetite. 1t
apparently had the same habits as
the modern beaver.
THE present-day ANIMAL he
points out, has a heavy bulky body.
Its legs are Short. il is clumsy on
land, and has great difficulty in go

marks the country where it lives be
cause of the very qualities which
make 1t 80 successful as an aquatic

must c~astoroides have had in leav-

individuals will cut down from 40 To

the bulk of its food is limited TO two

cut which, when felled. will be avail
