But the army keeps him, after all,
by virtue Of his appointment as head
Of the re-created office Of provost
marshal-general with duties includ-
ing the training and command Of
military police, supervision of in
ternment camps for aliens and re-
lated activities. II will perhaps be
recalled that this Office was held IN
1918 by Maj. Gen. Enoch Crow

General Gullion, now 81 years
old, having been born In Carol

John B. Kelly, new federal director
Of health training for the men
Health Chief Out az ano tb women na,
To Make Us Step ton, retires
Into Sound Bodies as chairman
ocratic city committee, a post he
has held for eight years, in order
that politics, or any suspicion of the
same, shall be divorced from his
duties. Kelly places physique above
politics at all times and he rejoices
as heartily at sight of physically
puissant Republican as a herculean
Democrat and always has.
Since the Civil war the tortu-
Gus waters Of the Schuylkill riv-
er have been dotted on pleasant
afternoons Of the spring and
summer with the fragile shells
Of single SOULS oarsmen. The
stream is the national home Of
scaling and many . champion
mas been sent forth from those
placid waters. Kelly-Handsome
Jack, n he was, and is, fondly
known-was one Of these scull-
ers. He took to the water rs
sooa rs he could handle q pair
Of ears and his fame was estab-
lished IN lSzo when he wen the
Olympic championship in SOULS,
= feat he repeated In 1924.
Always an enthusiast for a sound
body-he is willing to let the sane
mind develop as an inevitable corol-
lary-Kelly has been preaching the
virtues Of trained physique with all
the ardor of an evangelist in the
years since his retirement from
competitive rowing. A successful
pEfCA COnklaCpOE, nD pOuIlCal lie
has been characterized by wide ex-
perience and rugged battling in the
Republican party Of which he was
once q member, as well as in his
present affiliation, the Democratic
party.
