M Edgar Murphy. NJ
IN He was the guide,
philosopher, and friend whom
your columnist acquired when
he first adventured journal
isticalIy into New York.
Edgar was q typical New
Yorker.
For him the sun arose out
of the East River and sank
Immediately behind the pail
sades of the Hudson.
Beyond those limits there
resided only yaps and yokels,
hicks and hayseeds, and
whether the sun took the
trouble to shine on them was
a matter of doubt to Mr..
Murphy and Of additional
indifference.
There were rumors to the
effect confirmed by your
columnist) that the sun did
shine In California; but Cali
fornia was In the sticks SO
what difference did 1t make.
New York In Edgar's mind
was the center of civilization
and culture-and the cham
payne business.
If you did not live In New
York-you were camping out.
NTOR was Edgar alone in
~ that opinion.
Such was the cock
ney cOnceit of the average
New Yorker.
And truly enough New York
was in those days-the gay
nineties-more the metropolis
Of America than ever before
-or since.
According to the belief Of
Mr.. Murphy typical man
about this great and glorious
town--people might endure
life In other parts Of the
United States but when they
wanted TO enjoy life they
came to New York.
People might even make
money I'm other cities and
sections but they came to
New York when they wanted
to spend 1t.
There they saw the won-
derful new shows and gazed
rapturousIy at the beauteous
show girls.
There they ate their good
dinners at DelmOnicO's and
Sherry's and Shanley's.
And there they drank the
fine wines for many of which
Edgar was the proud and
prosperous agent.
Your colump'st, comm z
from "the sticks" to establish
himself duly and properly in
business i'm New York, was
the object Of Edgar's approx
ing attention and special
solicftade.
And Edgar was determined
that no sophisticated New
Yorker should take advantage
of your columnist's bucolic
innocence and sell him the

Twisting and Bending
Are Best Waist Reducers
BY IDA JEAN KAN

line are stretching. twisting and
sideward bending. The twist
and bend must be concentrated
at the waist and that means
keeping either your shoulders or
your hips squarely 10 the front.
One good way 10 anchor the
hips is 10 stand with the back
of the hips pressed against
table. have a rod back Of the
shoulders and supported in the
crook Of the elbows, and then
twist.
Both shoulders and hips are
immoblle so your waist gets the
full effect of this exercise.
4 less strenuous but almost
as effective exercise is 10 stretch
up with arms, hands clasped
high overhead. and, holding hips
still, circle the trunk.
Stretch Up
When il is the midsection, and
particularly the abdomen. that
needs better muscle tone, pull
Upland 4miitth-the lower alb
6onainal wall.
The emphasis should be on
the up-stretch, rather than the
inward pull. Sit on the floor
with the back 10 the wall and
as straight as you can get IL.
Sitting in this position for
few minutes every day will
gradually strengthen your alb
dominal muscles and help you 10
a naturally flat front line.
For shearing inches off the
hips. the best type Of exercise
is leg swinging, forward and
backward from the hip. Keep
the knee straight and swing
high TO reach the gluteus maxi
mus muscles on the back Of the
hips. Or roll.
For Smooth Lines
Rolling is a form of massage
and excellent for giving you
smooth lines. Lie on your back
on the floor. hands out and
down at sides, and head and
feet held clear of the floor as
you roll from side 10 side.
The super arm and shoulder
exercises are those in which
arms are circled backward from
the shoulders. elbows straight.
This position brings into action
the tricepS muscles on the
backs of the upper arms and
firms these areas.
Also, il tones the pectorals
which support the bust. Toning
the pectoral muscles tends TO
raise the bust 10 a lovelier line.

Natures Children
Gray Wolf
(Canis mexicanus)

The home or nursery den is in a
natural cave, hollow log or stump
or even in dugout made by them
selves. The young are born in
March or as late as May, and there
may be even triplets or 13 babies
to arrive at the same time. Gen.
orally though, six or seven Is the
average number. Mother Wolf at
this time is a most ferociouS lady.
Only her husband can approach
her. Motherless wolf babies have
been known to be taken over by
another wolf mother in the neigh
borhood and reared as tenderly as
If her own.
Father Wolf stands guard over
the nursery, though not close
enough to attract attention. When
the babies have their eyes open and
are ready for solid food, father
shares all the work. He hunts from
dawn to dark, bringing fresh game
to the nursery. If some thrifty
farmer has poultry yard within
distance that does not keep father
away from home too long, chickens
will be on the bill of fare at the
wolf home that night. Rabbits and
lamb are also acceptable offerings
to the family.
BY August the young follow their
mother on her hunting expeditions.
The nursery Is deserted. Is it a
mess? The whole place is mass
of feathers and bones and fur.
Easier to move than to house clean!
Education now begins in earnest.
BY example, each youngster Is
shown the ideal way of approach,
seizure and final capture. Each
young wolf Is impressed with the
terror of a baited or an undated
trap. This devoted mother leaves
nothing to their imaginations and
the little ones are taught how to
sidestep mans cruel invention.
Wolves have developed depend
able mode of intercommunication.
Any region occupied with wolves
will be perfectly charted with sig
nal stations or intelligence posts,
each marked by a large stone, tree,
skull or mound. The wolf, possess
ing an individual odor which is his
method of leaving q message, will
leave his word upon the tablet" !"
And there will be no doubt of its
being read and understood by his
wolfsh nedghborsl

Triumphant and serene in the
consciousness of his dominion, the
gray wolf has widened his range
until he is as successful on the
rugged islands of the polar sea as
in genial semi-tropica1 Texas. Such
adjustment cannot know defeat
An individual gray wolf does not
need more than Is to 20 miles in
which to hunt and TO find abundant
food and shelter. At one time all
of Canada and Alaska and the
United States, except Nevada and
California, had abundance of gray
wolves that ranged over 100000
square miles, the widest range in
North America of any large land
mammal. Today, the old story,

and animal! So the gray wolf finds
himself up against new and serious
problems.
