 Adult classes, according to fig ures inclusive of the month of November, have an enrolment of 181a while the total registered in the illitracy class is 188. During the current month nearly 100 more registrations have been made and enrolment is continuing daily.
 Dancing Most Popular
 The largest group under the su- pervision of single teacher is the dancing class, which has proved to be one of the most popular classes, in which four instructors are employed. It has been neces- sary to close enrolment in several of the classes such as contract bridge, because of the fact that students entering at this time would have difficulty in catching up in the course.
 Registration may still be made in most of the courses, and is well conied especially in the classes in advanced mathematics.
 Will End In May
 In spite of the large registration there has been no difficulty in find ing suitable locations. Mnay of the courses are given to community groups and buildings such as the Washington park community house and the Chase community house are being used. The classes will continue until the end of May.

 New London, Conn. (UP)-- Those figure-conscious matrons, swivel-chair office athletes and wiliowy, dieting chorines, might take a hint from Bill Keefe, 76- year-old acrobatic soldier of tor tune.
 Although past the three-quar- ters mark in years. Keefe is as supple as a baby. He can easily kick a safety-pin dangling from a horizontal bar eight feet high, do the split" and lock his feet behind his head and do back hand-springs with the speed and grace of a professional performer.
 There's no mystery about it, ac- cording to the weather-beaten vet eran of the square-rigger sailing days.

It was winter and the muzZle was ice-coated. He slipped and fell into the water. Pneumonia set in and he spent four months in the hospital.
 "I grew worse," he said, land was discharged from the Navy with incipient pulmonary con- sumption. They sent me home to die. I have to laugh when I think of it.
 -Four months later I signed up for three years with the Johna- than Chase sailing eet and ] haven't had sick day since." His splendid physical condition and his daily calesthenics drills pulled him through, he declared. Keefe isn't thinking of a wheel chair at 76.
