 FadeOut for the Whaler.

 Hard times hare affected whaling The once mighty fleet which sailed the Seven Seas in this dangerous calling today lies idle. The respite may not be to the liking of the iron men who sailed ,he wooden ships, but it is giving the largest mammal a new chance to avoid extinction.
 Famous all over the world, at time, the great American whaling fleet of 1000 ships now totals only fourteen. No longer does the phantom armada put out from New England ports, for the center of activity has shifted to the Pacific Coast That is, far North America is concerned.
 There is only sailing ship left to recall the stern days when thar she bowsl" was the call to action. Twelve of the remaining whalers are propelled by steam, the other is motor ship
 It is not on this continent that one will find the worlds greatest whaling port-for that is in Scan- dinavia, where whale-beef, is a decacy At Sande- ord tpopulation 60o0) where 10000 go out annually in approximately 250 ships whaling still is a pro- fesson. Two million barrels of whale oil is con- sGered an average year in Norway
 The zenith of whaling was in 1853, when 198504 tons of ships operated. Today there are only 9037 tons left

When YOUR wrist is injured seriously. and you have
had it in a cast for repair. you must put it through
a series Of strengthening exercises after the cast is
removed.
And since so many small bones, ligaments. and
muscles are involved, the exercises range from the
simplest to the more complicated and must be taken
with extreme care and patience.
The hand. like the wrist, is capable of practically
every kind Of motion, and must be exercised Just
as carefully. At first the exercises should be con-
trolled by a physician or physiotherapist, who moves
the joints while you make no effort at all.
After such controlled motion, the time finally
comes when you can undertake certain exercises to
improve functions and activities Of wrist, hand, and
fingers. The following course is suggested:
/. Tand resting on little finger: al Bend wrist for
ward, keeping fingers straight. Resist with pressure
on palm near wrist. d) Bend wrist back as far as
possible, keeping fingers bent. Resist with pressure
on back of hand near wrist.
:. Hand resting on table. palm down: C) Move
hand toward thumb. Resist with pressure on thumb

sist with pressure on little finger side Of hand near

AN xAMPL FOR AMERICA

The French, they are a funny race, &C.
cording to a ditty the A. z. T. used to
MARBLE in its lighter moments. But in
some fields these Frenchmen seem to have
pretty sound ideas.
For example: The French Ministry of
Posts, Telegraphs, and Telephones an
nounced at the start of the year that here
after no advertising will be included IN
ann French radio ~broadcasts. This ruling
was made after the ministry had received
numerous protests from radio fans.
The luckless American, r~esignedly weary
of soupy voices invading his living room
to spout im~probabilities about so-and-so's
soap or whoozis's face cream, may be
pardoned for feeling that the French
aren't so doggone funny as the A. E. +.
sometimes supposed.
