With flabby muscles, regardless of

The same exercise can help to
evolve entirely different results.
A fat person. a skinny person and
a normal weight may all take the
same exercise and, other factors
being equalized, the overweight
will lose in the right place, the
underweight will round out curves,
and the normal weight will more
perfectly distribute her pounds.
Everyone benefits from exercise.
You may have all the posSibili-
ties of loveliness, but with toneless
muscles you figure looks dumpy.
Not only that, you can acquire a

short time through failure to use
these figure-controlling muscles.

Bennett Discusses Proposed
Transport Changes for
.x$ 10th Street.

W. B. Bennett, assistant to the pres
ident of the Capital Transit Co., ad-
dressed the opening Fall meeting OF
the Sixteenth Street Highlands Citi-
zen's Association last night at Bright
wood School on proposed transporta-
ton changes for the community and
traffic suggestions for the District in
general.
In general the proposed plan for
that section, now before the Public
Utilities Commission for approval,
provides for bus transportation, both
shuttle and express, radiating from a
loop terminal to be located at Four
teenth and Colorado whence rail serv-
ice will run into the downtown area.
It also satisfies long-standing desire
of the community that street cars be
taken off Kennedy and Third streets.
They are to be replaced by busses.
Speaking on conditions in the Dis
trict as a whole, Bennett asserted that
traffic has heretofore been considered
in terms of vehicles rather than
people.
Elections were held in which the
present officers were unanimously
chosen to serve again.
Resolutions were passed to acknowl-
edge the services of peoples Counsel
w. A. Roberts and express regret al
his resignation and to ask that the
Office be retained. It was also decided
to continue to meet at Brightwooc

REX BEACH HELPS AGAIN

Never losing the impressionistc spell imbued by his adventures of the gold rush days of 97 Rex Beach continues to tell the world through his writings about Alaska.
 In this weeks Literary Digest, under the Travel department space is given to review two of the authors latest articles, one appeared in the new air-rave magazine New Horizons the other in the American Magazine and both resulted from his last summers visit to the Territory.
 Rapidly, with decisive descriptive strokes revealing the old Alaska the Alaska of his Spoilers Iron Trail and Silver Horde. and then the modern Alaska MT. Beach says:
 Men still wash it's (Alaskas) gravels, stamp mills thunder trappers tend their lines and fishermen by the thousands turn its silver salmon into gold To the traveller in quest of health, relaxation sport or adventure it remains a Sndbad's Cavern which be robbed
 Tt used to be an incredibly vast country it's secrets grimly guarded every purple valley was 6 pathway to the unknown and peril walked with those who followed them. But distances have shrunk 1t is no longer remote. its trackless wilds be crossed in matter of minutes or hours and its impossible mountain barriers have become a mere spectacle to look down upon. On wings the modern traveller scars to the inaccessible"
 What aviation has done for Alaska MT Beach recounts in his American Magazine article, and does it strongly and ably that it should prove helpful in expeditngs the realization of the Alaska air development program
 Not cent of pubic money has been spent for airports writes the author there is no airmail service to link the Territory with the States inside its boundaries there is but one air-mai route, and that like pair of skates is used only part time .

THE COLLEGE VETERANS"

College boys will have their fun, and if they didn't they wouldn't be normal youngsters The latest typical college stunt sweeping the campuses of the nation is the Veterans of Future Wars" a buresque on the soldiers bonus payment. School papers in various colleges and universities have come out with ttbits demanding payment of bonus to veterans of future wars, the youngsters of today The editor of the Princeton daily argues facetiousy of course that there is sure to be another so why not pay the future soldiers so they enjoy it before they go to war and got shot and won't need it.
 One of the boys starting the idea at Princeton is Thomas Riggs, Jr son of former Governor Thomas Riggs of Alaska Young Riggs is credited with being of the organizers of college veterans Credit for the original idea however has been attributed to Willard Gallemore and William Walther, couple of college graduates now employed in the Alaska Juneau Mine. It their suggestion of Veterans of Future Wars" movement which was said to have
 first attracted national attention just about the time the bonus was voted
 Girls schools have caught onto the idea and at Vassar the lasses have formed an auxiliary first called the Association of Gold Star Mothers of Future Veterans Later they changed the name to Home Fire Division, under pressure of opinion that a joke can be carried too far
 Several veteran leaders and supporters have risen I veterans. It's foolish attitude The men who went through the Argonne many of them college boys of another era should be mature enough by this time to know you can't be insulted by bubbling college kid. Or if you you to be in for lot of grief.
 We can recall without much effort those college days when trouble was brewing along the Mexican border and we had what known as the Montreal Club" It conceived from the popular ditty of that day, When the War Breaks Out in Mexico I'm going to go to Montreal" When the cannons started popping over in Europe in 1914 the Out of the Trenches by Christmas" club became the most popular organization on the campus. But when actual along those college kids went away to like youngsters have always done and came back men, those of them that back.
 There is nothing particularly and startling about the Veterans of Future Wars It's a smart typical collegiate idea. By the time the next fall term rolls around the lads will have a brand new stunt on which to expend their excess energy
 If the day comes and We hope it doesn't when our youngsters can't think up bright ideas, harpooning their elders little occasion it will be sorry state of affairs for America Let the boys and girls have their fun. They1T all be veterans of life at least soon enough and much of the play hour will be over

 Much travel is forecast for the coming weeks when large groups of men will journey to far countries. Vacation tourists to Europe will be more numerous than recently.
 Soldiers will drill in many camps in the United States and aviation schools will be crowded if the stars are rightly read.

Saturn is in a place of dubious portent for workers and it is prog nosticated that unemployment is to present new phases of trouble Bad effects of prolonged idleness now will be evident in all parts of the country.
 While old age pensions will be widely discussed the agitation is to have results politically not on the program of the Townsendites, it is prophesied Democrats should benefit when votes are counted, but many surprises are foretold.
 Women are fortunate today, for Venus smiles upon them and TO- nance is encouraged. It is a lucky wedding day and promises happi- ness that endures.
 This is a favorable date for ap- pointments with men of influence and should bring good results for persons who seek promotions or new positions.

 Due to the World War, total for eign trade for the United States during the year was estimated at six billion dollars, or two billion dollars greater than any nation has ever achieved in the past. It was further stated that this great trade would have been greater except for shortage of vessels to transport millions of dollars worth of prod ucts that are in warehouses and un- loaded cars awaiting shipment.

Contributed Articles By Pupils Covering Literary
Efforts, Sports, and News of Smyrna Schools

Mr.. R. D. Hoffecker, publisher
of the Smyrna Times, has very
kindly donated a section OF the
paper to the Smyrna School. In
previous years, articles written by
members of the Sophomore, Junior
and Senior English classes have
appeared in this section. /, as
Editor-in-Chief Of the school notes
of the paper, suggest that, this
year, the column may not be limit
ed to the English department only,
but may be open to all depart
ments of the High School. Any
teachers who have articles from
their students which they wish to
have published in the school notes
will please see me about them.
Since Smyrna School publishes
no weekly school paper, we may
consider our section in the Smyrna
Times our school paper. We will
try to make it interesting and or
iginal and hope each of you will re-
ceive your weekly school paper
through the Smyrna Times.

Atlantis

Probably the strangest city
known to man was discovered last
year. A ship was wrecked off the
coast of Maine and all on board
disappeared completely, mystifying
the public and causing great con-
cern to the government.
Had it not been for one brave
man we should still be wondering
as to their fate. A deep sea diver
by the name of Rawlings revealed
to US a most amazing fact. He had
discovered a city under the surface
of the ocean, a city in which life
went on in much the same manner
as it does in our New York City.
His supposition was that, at one
time, this section of the ocean bed
was above the surface of the sea

Would Another War Bring
Prosperity?

The fact that another war would
bring prosperity is in all probail-
ity very true, but that wealth
would be very false. During war
times both food and clothing be-
come scarce; therefore prices rise.
This increase in rates benefits only
the merchant and not the consum-
er.
The dealers in arms, locomotives
and other war implements desire,
at the present time, to supply for
eign nations because of the great
demand which has forced prices
up. President Roosevelt, in a pub
lie speech, asked that the mer-
chants limit their selling to peace
full nations because he does not
want the United States to become
entangled in any alien affairs.
Would prosperity, at the cost of
many human lives, be worth it :?
Even though great wealth came to
America it would only cause a re-
petition of the disturbances that
the World War made in financial
affairs.
Our nation is fast regaining its
post war prosperity, this time on a
firm foundation. We must not
jeopardize our advance.

The duties of business manag-
er are numerous. He and his as
sistants have to persuade the lead
ing business men of Smyrna and
the surrounding territory to adver-
tise in the Spy Glass. This is a
very difficult problem but with the
right kind of salesmanship we US
ually induce them to help us.
If the students had to pay for
the Spy Glass it would cost each
student of the 315 high school stu
dents enrolled last year in G.. o.
Soc each, when, for a fifty cent G.
o. ticket, they receive admission to
all parties. all school games, and
the Spy Glass.
If you really want to help the
Spy Glass staff you may bring an
ad: s1.O0 for every inch, $500 for
two inches or across the page.
Consult any Senior. You should
patronize the advertisers in our
Spy Glass as their help enables us
TO publish our school paper.
Another thing, we would like to
have every student secure outside
subscriptions to the Spy Glass at
SOC each. There are lots of people
who are interested in our literary
work and would be glad to take
the Spy Glass. Thank you.
