ARQK
q DAY.
~ BRUCE CATION

TINE detective story, apparently,
l. is going to go on forever. 1t
is occasionally good. generally
mediocre, and frequently downright
terrible. but it continues to get
published; and today We might as
we'll glance at q few Of its recent
incarnations.
First there's "Those Seven Ali
bis" by Charles G.. Booth Morrow;
So. This tells about the San Fran
cisco antique dealer who is shot
shortly after he has dug up a
hitherto unknown bit of work by
PhidiaS.
A couple of professional rivals, a
phlegmatic Chinese, a dapper sales
man and a globe trotter are in
volved, and if you can stand some
archaic ten-twent- thirt diction and
atmosphere you might find the yarn
suitably puzzling.
Then we come to No Witness! !"
by Cortland FitzsimmonS (StokeS;
$2) A long Island house burns, and
in the ruins are found the remains
of racketeering theatrical agent
and a charming young suburban
housewife, and there's a likable
Irish cop who solves it.
This yarn is good up to the last
chapter, when for some maccount-
able reason, it becomes foggy and
amateuriSh.
Lastly, there's 'Society Editor"
by Henry Charlton Beck Outton
So. A newspaper gal who runs a
gossip column gets taken for ride
a reporter is the chief suspect and
a society editor saves him.
This might have been q good book
II the author hadn't got more in
terested in picturing newspaper
folk as underlined scoudrels than
in putting together a readable mys-
terry story. AS it stands, it doesn't
quite click.

Perfection
IN Posture
Is Rarity
Few Women Can Claim
1t; Sagging Backbone Is
One Of Reasons.

Any Of us can count on the fin
gers Of one hand the few women we
have known vino had perfect pos
ture, the kind that makes a woman
seem poised for flight, even when
she stops to look in a store window.
Irene Castle has it. Even after all
these years, since she and Vernon
made fame as the perfect dancing
couple, she seems 70 walk on air,
so graceful is her posture.
Fat stomachs are in large part due
to sagging backbones. That roll Of
fat across the shoulders which
marks middle-age, also Is due to
wrong posture.
The backbone settles down on to
itself and the top vertebrae are
thrown out. Fat easily accumulates
on this shelf.
Swings From Ribs
The really graceful woman is so
1.-THE that she swings every step
clear from her ribs. The entire hip
joint moves, not just her legs from
the knees down.
The woman with perfect posture
just floats on to a chair, doesn't
plump down the way most women
do.
It's all in your backbone, really.
Keep that important nerve center
absolutely straight, every joint high
enough above the next one to pre-
serve the natural air cushion, and
you are on the high road to per-
feet posture.
Dancers Have Advantage
Dancers have a natural advan-
tage They learn the value of mus
Gle control and the necessity Of
stretching their backs until they
grow tall and straight.
The best way for the average
woman to start correcting her pos
ture is to concentrate on back ex-
ercises every night and morning.
They are not hard to do, but it is
hard to keep on doing them day aft
er day. And only continued activ-
ity will bring any reasonable i'm
provement.
