head forward allows the fat cells
to collect on the back of the neck,
and gives an ugly line to chin and
neck in front.
If you want to get the true ef-
feet Of incorrect posture, stand
before a full length mirror and,
with the aid of a hand mirror,
look at yourself sidewise. Let the
head poke slightly forward-not
too much, just about as you would
in reading or Sewing-and then
tuck the chin in. See what ]

All right, pull yourself UP
straight and tall, with an up-lift

inal wall. diaphragm, CHI es t,
chin, and the top of the head.
Now look at yourself in the hand
mirror, and see how much young
er you look. Isn't that posture
worth Cultivating?
Pulling up with the entire body
creates the youthful right angle
of the chin, and you will find that
the dowagers' hump and a youth
full chinline do not pair together.
To correct one defect Is to get
rid of the other. But the upward
lift of good posture begins with the
lower abdominal wall, which may
be strengthened by the following
exercise:

MOVEMENT
Place the hands on the hips
and slowly lower the body back
ward until the trunk Is horizontal.
Pause for second and slowly re-
turn to the upright position.
This is strenuous exercise, and
you should not attempt it more
than two times at the beginning.
1t is also thorough-going exer-
else, however, and you can put
it to work on the neckline by tens
ing the neck muscles as the body
is lowered backward, then fitting
the chin back still further while
the body is in horizontal position.
Stretching exercises of various
sorts are splendid developers of
lovely posture, and they are sud
den death to such defects as
double chins-or waistline bulges.
Stretch the head high and ro-
tate it slowly on the shoulders for
the neckline. Stretch the body
high and rotate the trunk in wide,
easy circles for the waistline.
Go to work on your posture and
you will eliminate the necessity
of having to deal separately with
the bumps or bulgeS that make
the figure older.

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT

Just $50 years ago this week-on
June Is, 1887 was spoken what
modern historians recognize as one
of the earliest and cleareSt state
ments ever made on "the Spirit of
AmericaniSm."
It came from Charles Pinckney,
youthful delegate from South Caro-
lima. in the course of an eloquent
appeal to the Federal Convention,
meeting that summer in historic
Independence Hall, Philadelphia, to
write our Constitution.
Pinckney spoke before a formal
session of the Convention while it
had under consideration various
proposals for a National Legislature
"a topic on which the large states
and the small were in frequent dis
agreement In the course OF debate.
the distinctive systems of govern :
mentS in both the ancient and modern
world had been cited at length.
Finally Pinckney arose.
I'VE must" he admoniShed the
delegates, "suit our Government to
the people it is to direct"
Then contrasting the American
nation with established governments
abroad, he pointed out that I'VE have
unwisely considered ourselves as the
inhabitants of an old, instead OF a
new. country"
The people of the United States,
said Pinckney in part, ARE perhaps
the most singular of any we are
acquainted with. Among them there
are fewer distinctions Of fortune,
and less of rank, than among the
inhabitants of any other nation.
Every freeman has a right TO the
same protection and security.
Hence. arises a greater equality
than is to be found among the people
Of any other country; and an equality
which is more likely to continue.

political liberty which consists IN the
power of arriving at the pubic

OTHERS VIEWS
MR.. WRIGHT COMES BACK

To the Editor:
1t seems to me America is under
more obligations to the noble men
and women who have banded them
selves together to get more pay and
better working conditions for the
toiling millions than to any other
group of our citizens. More than a
'.hundred and sixty years ago an Eng
fish king held our country just where
our great industralist and employing
class have held the workers for more
than seventy years. We have nothing
but praise for the noble patriots who
threw off the English yoke so why
wait to say kind word for those who
seek now to save the great produc-
ing class and thereby save America
once again. In all the strikes in our
country at the present time l can but
sympathize with the strikers. Being
humans l know they will do things
they should not do and leave undone
things they should do but in all that
l know full well they will not do near
So ill to their rich employers as those
employers have done to them many
times.

ned with exprizefighters, paroled con-
victs and such. How would yeu dear
reader like to do your work at the
muzzle of a gun in the hands of an
eX-cOnvict?
AS see it organized labor and or
ganized farmers is the only hope for
better conditions in our country.
When they stand together and de-
mand their rights they will get them
and not until then. Organized wealth
is not going to yield an inch more
than it is made to yield.
1t is a mystery to me why the pro-
ducing class seems so content to be
treated as a red-headed step-child
when it has the power, God given
power, to make the money class say
"thanky." The only reason l can see
for the cOntentment of the working
class is its raising. 1t has been
brought up to stand in awe of the
rich fellow because he scattered a. few
crumbs now and then by which their
lives were sustained. Think of a red
blooded American citizen existing on
crumbs from his masters table, and
feeding the same to his wife and chill
dren. Please remember these crumbs
are from a table that the producer
provides with all the good things
Gods world can produce yet he gets
only the scraps. He and his are ill
fed, i'll clothed, and i'll housed yet he
is content to let this condition con-
tinue simply because he was brought
up that way His father and grand
father voted the Democratic ticket
and existed on scraps so he sees no
reason why he should change. God
have mercy on his soul.

Roosevelt it is high time the great

of things. God Almighty does not
make an error. He gave us Frank

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-Venizelos once
more became premier of Greece, pledg
ed to support the Franco-British allies.
Exile of King Constantine and his
eldest son, who were now in Switzer-
land, had enabled Venizelos to return
from his own exile. On the Goth the
Venizelos government was to sever
diplomatic relations with the Central
powers and declared a state of war
existed.
President Wilson decided to exer-
else full powers conferred by the en-
barge clause III the new espionage
law, and to forbid expectation of any
amount of an essential commodity to
any country without a license from an
export Council, which he set up. Mem
