BY JIMMY HENIGAN Written For United Press)

According to form, Johnny Kelley should repeat his 1885 victory in the Boston A. A. marathon this year, with Pat Dengis of Baltimore, who was runner-up last year, and Les Pawson of Pawtucket, R. l., the 1893 winner, giving Johnny good battle.
 But although I'm not getting any younger and this will be my 18th B. A. A. marathon, refuse to be counted out of the running. I'd like to run in the Olympics once more and I may enter the other trial for the marathon squad. That's the Ma tional A. A. U. marathon at Wash ington May 30.
 can honestly say that my con- dition is peter this year than last, when I finished 11th. I say this be- cause my legs have held up better. Since the middle of January I have been running three days a week. short runs the first two days, with a run of form IS to 26 miles on the weekend. My weight is about the same, but I know that my legs have been stronger.
 I didn't make much of showing in the North Medford club 20-mile run March last, in which I placed 2Oth, but I only used the race as a workout.
 Although won the B. A. A. marathon in 1881, my best time for the race was in 1882 when I placed second to Paul De Bruyn of Ger many and won place on the Olym- pic team. My time that year was 2 hours 34 minutes and 32 seconds, whereas the year won my time was 2 hours 46 minutes 45 4-5 seconds. I was second in 1928, when Clarence De Mar led the field.
 I think have at least one more good B. A. A. race in my system and I hope this is the year.

BOWLING
SPECIAL MATCH LEAGUE

Lucky Strike Alleys)
The Washington times., 1936-08-21

Bending over desk develops
chin worries, rounded shoulders
and hopeless hips, but the corTec-
ton of all these faults with the
sitting posture. Holding the
posture that keeps you sitting
pretty on the job is difficult,
since the natural tendency is to
lean on the elbows and bring the
head forward to work.
Bending forward at two or
three points does more than
break the straight line which
should be determined from the
top of the head to the tip Of the
spine. When the head constantly
drops forward, a pad of fat forms
at the nape of the neck, and the
chin and jaw take on an unlovely
line.
Continual bowling Of the Shout
derS contracts the pectoral
muscles, fosters a flat chest and
rounds the line of the back. How
ever, slouching into an ultracom-
Portable position, with shoulders
resting on chair back and hips
brought forward, relaxes the alb
dominal muscles and is just as
bad for the figure as bending for
ward.
A program of corrective exercise
should be both habit-breaking and
habit-forming. Wrong posture may
feel natural from habit, so that
for time correct posture is forced
and strained. Exercise will grad
ally strengthen the weak muscles,
and the practice of fitting forward
only at the waistline puts the
right muscles into continual use.
For the business girl, specific exer-
else should be directed toward
chest, shoulders, waist, abdomen
and hips.
ONE HUNDRED TIMES
The breast stroke, as used in
swimming, is generally recognized
as an excellent posture corrective.
This exercise contracts the back
muscles, which have been over
stretched from bending forward,
and stretches the chest muscles,
which have been shortened in this
position.
Do this one exercise 100 strokes a
day, to acquire a lovely posture,
in spite of office routine:
Stand with arms outstretched
in front of the body, backs of
hands together. Separate the
hands, swinging the arms back at
shoulder level, down, around, and
back to front position. Swing
rhythmically and forcefully.
Stretch the waist to counteract
the settling effects of sitting.
Clasp your hands above your
head and pull the waistline away
from the hips. Then, with the
The Washington times., 1936-08-21

hands still locked together, twist,
turn and stretch. Stretch every
morning, from head to heels!
The abdominal muscles grow
lazy with slumping nd must be
exercised back to efficiency.
Arching the back up and down
like an angry cat affords reflex
contraction of these figure-con-
trolling muscles. Get down on
your hands and knesS and keep
the arms straight while allowing
the middle Of the back to sag and
lowering the abdomen toward the
floor. Arch the back, and con-
tract the abdominal muscles.
Repeat not more than 10 time~
performing slowly.
SUPPLE MUSCLES
Hips, which are the office girls
chief worry, can be kicked away.
Swing the legs from the hips and

One of the most noteworthy
works on the program is the
"Afro-American Symphony" by

ment Lento, con risoluzione, was
inspired by the following lines Of
Paul Laurence Dunbar:
BE proud, my race, in mind and
soul,
Thy name is writ on Glory's
scroll,
In characters Of fire.
High mid the clouds of flames
bright sky
Thy banners blazoned folds now
fly,
And truth shall lift them higher"
Lieut.. Charles Benter. director
Of the u. S. Navy Band, who Will

great acclaim.
The other night when Jose
Iturbi mistook the Kisses from

recalls to mind a similar occur
ence that happened at the Water
Gate the night OF the second con-
cert this summer.
A newsp aper photographer
with a large cigar in his mouth
was taking candid camera shots
between the legs of the piano
while the young lady pianist was
playing. He was on the steps i'm
mediately in front of the plat
form. so close that the pianist
might have bent over and touched
him. AS he was taking the candid
shots, the smoke was billowing
from the long cigar and he kept
rolling the bundle Of weed from
side to side in his mouth. The
pianist became so nervous over
the photographers uncouth &C
ton that she nearly broke down.

CUMBERLAND, Md, March l9.-The
outcome of the municipal election was
In doubt today, as the food disrupted
Tuesdays voting and was believed to
have washed away the ballots of at
least two precincts.
DR.. Thomas w. Koon was assured
election as mayor, a position he held
for nine terms before being defeated
four years ago. He was the only
candidate for the office.
Former Mayor Henderson said his
last information was that Edward r.
Neff, Harry Irvine. Edgar Reynolds
and Harry w. Amtheney were lead
ing the field for the city council. He
did not know how many votes had
been cast for each.
The voting places Of two precincts
were both in the path of the food.
Some citizens expressed the opinion
the ballots may have been washed
into the Potomac.
Whether a new election would be
held had not been determined. Ir-
vine, Matheney and Reynolds were
seeking reelection. The other coun-
cilmanic candidates were joseph M.
Fradiska, Joseph H. Griffin, Randolph
7. Wshmyer and Virgil T. Wolford.

RESCUED
FROM RIVER ISLES
Coast Guardsmen Take
Stranded Group From
Islands in Potomac.

BY Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
LEESBURG, Va, March 19.-Twelve
persons we're taken from two Of three
flood-torn islands in the Potomac
River near here this morning by
Coast GuardSmen who brought a
power boat overland from the Curtis
Bay Depot at Baltimore last night.
The boat was crippled by loss Of
its rudder soon after being launched,
but the rescue work went forward.
An effort was to be made this after
noon by the Guardsmen to rescue
two or three other persons believed
to be stranded on third island in
the raging river.
Nine in One Family.
The Coast Guard boat was launched
this morning with crew of six and
succeeded in taking Enos Jenkins and
his family of eight from Masons
Island, about 10 miles below the Point
of Rocks Bridge site. The bridge was
washed away earlier today.
Four persons were taken of Har-
risons Island, although Andrew Athey,
one of the four, left with great re-
luctance. He was finally persuaded to
quit his precarious perch by the res
cuers after an argument.
After effecting the rescue the Coast
Guard boat ran into a bank and it
required an hour to free it. Mean
while. the refugees we're almost frozen.
Boat Loses Rudder.
Two or three persons we're believed
to be stranded on Heaters Island. They
were said to be a man named Fair
fax Miskell, his son Minor and hired
man. The Guardsmen were planning
to attempt to reach Heaters Island
later today.
The Coast Guardsmen we're seri-
ously hampered by loss of the rudder
from their boat. The rudder was torn
of by a barbed wire fence shortly
after the boat was launched and
steering was done by paddles.
