VALUE OF PHYSICAL
 EDUCATION

Picture magazine presented Q photo of 0 model 66A inches tall, 20 years old, whose weight is 124 pounds and said most women in the U. S. would like to bave Q figure like that. No one has asked me, but oifhand I'd say that If most women looked as sad and frail aS that we men could give more at- tention to our golf and our bowl. ing,
 Having set up this iong-haired schoolboy with the ugly fiat chest as the ideal feminine, heaven help us the magazine stoutly strives tc cheer us lip by informing us that the recent return of the romantic influence in clothes promises to bring the soft feminine figure back into fashion.
 Soft, is the word, not nabby.
 It seems that big hips have be- come more or less peryasive, not to say widespread, in the United States because women do 50 much sitting, in autos, ct bridge tables ct desks, in the movies, at the ball. game, ct teas and cocktail lounges That's the magazine editors con- tribution to the figure problem.
 Now may not Do Q competent observer, but 1t was my opinion that American women in tho past ten or twenty years have been lesa hippy than the American women of 1910 were, and the reason for this, l believe, is that in the past ten or twenty years more and more women have been practicing sup- porting themselves, without stays or corsetS.
 It Is Q pathological fact that the more c woman depends on girdies stays, corsets, supporters or TO. straining harness of any sort tc mold or "preserve" her figure the weaker grow the muscles of the back, hips. thighs, and belly, and the greater the tendency to ac. cumulate layers or paddings of fat
 Some persons who are actually to replace the inefficient muscles. many pounds overweight do not seem too heavy nor look stout. 9th. CTS whose weight is not excessive nevertheless give the impression oi being too heshy. Is 1t c difference of dress, age, complexion, state oi health? Any of these factors may have Q bearing, but the main factor b poiSe, carriage, posture, and that of course, depends on physical edu- cation. There is Q difference be- tween physical education and phy- 6ical training or exercise, which we will consider in the next discussion Of posture and personal appearance.

variety.
With Owner P. K. Wrigley antici-
pating no hohout trouble over 1898

Collins signed his 1898 contract

at Cavarretta, the Italian youngster
named recently by Manager Charley
Grimm as the cubs regular first sacker
In 1888.
Collins, who came to the Cubs from
the st. Louis Cardinals, suffered q
terrific slump last season, hitting only
.274 for his poorest major league mark
IN seven seasons. He was lost to the
team In August when he fractured
an ankle and many fans attributed the
Cubs nose-dive from first to second
place largely to the ripper's poor show
