THE kangaroo type Of posture
Il appears IN person who
carries most of the pivotal
structure of the body in front
of the legs and the rest behind
the line of gravity.
The chest is carried forward
and puts strain on the spinal
ligamentS and muscles.
In order 10 compensate. the
individual sticks out behind.
which adds to the general strain
on the leg. abdomen and knee
joints.
The gorilla type Of posture is
one where the head is thrust
forward. there is rounding of
the shoulders and the knees
tend 10 bend.
The arms are long and swing
ing and att the internal organs
are more or less crushed down
into the pelvis.
This puts strain on the spine
and also on the functions of the
internal organs.
A NORMAL, or in other words
"A the best type of posture is
one in which the line of gravity
passes through the important
pivotal parts of the body: the
middle of the ankle. the middle
of the knee joint and hip and the
base of the spine at its junction
with the head.

Several sound strategists have
expressed the opinion that the
stepping-stone process is much
too tedious to do the job and
that a more direct assault on
Japan is necessary. Possibly our
master minds are thinking Of
that, too. even as our strength is
being concentrated elsewhere.

The Brighter Side

JAPANESE occupation Of the
ID Philippines with thousands of
American soldiers as prisoners
of war and many of our men
and women in internment camps
remains a blot upon the escutch-
con of our arms and a constant
reproach 10 this nation.
The fall of the Philippines
was disgrace only too readily
alibied by those responsible, the
isolationists who refused TO let
us establish adequate defenses
in the islands, and our subse-
quent inability to reinforce the
men who made a gallant stand
there only added to our igno-
miny.
The full story has not yet
been half told. The humiliating
facts have so far been subordi-
mated TO the tales of the mag
nificent heroism OF our soldiers,
but some day history will relate
that the loss of the islands was
traceable TO the most extraordi-
