Correspondence Of The StGrl


GEORGETOWN, March 81. 1851.
The Carrington Guards, Capt. Goddard, paraded
for target practice yesterday afternoon. They num-
bered about 20 rifles, and passed through our prin-
cipal streets, attracting much attention by their
sOdiery bearing and the correctness Of their march
ing They proceeded to Analostan Inow Theodore
Roosevelt Island where the target set and fired
at from distance Of 100 yards The shooting was very
good. The first prize, fine silver goblet was won
by private VIM. Burrows; the second prize, silver
cup by private ThOs. EdmOndstOn; the third prize
q gold IOcket by private James Vanderwerken. and
the leather medal by private AlonzO King The corps
on its return was preceded by large crowd Of men
and boys armed with cornstalkS, sticks. and other
defensive and offensive weapons, but their move
ments showed a lack Of military training. These
amateurs greatly Outnumbered the Guards at starting
but frequent desertons after they reached town soon
thinned their ranks.

WHY GROW OLD?
This Year Is Too VAGUE,
Lose Weight in 8 Weeks
WHY GROW OLD?
BY JOSEPHINE LOWMAN

ANC1AoNGA Ah1 @S SAANAS&se
Don't let your New Years
resolutions get you down!
Let them pretty you up! We
say to ourselves, This year
I am going to lose my over
weight. I really have had
it," This year I am going
to take better care Of my
health" This year ] am
going to give my complexion
and hair the sort Of care
which win pay off in better
looks"
This year-this year-this
year! This year Is vague
when compared to the next
eight weeks. which are right
at hand-and are so very
real. What we do not do in
the next eight weeks we
probably will never do.
whether it be working to-
ward o more attractive ap-
pearance, learning to ski or
play the banjo. or taking q
c0urSe at school.
That's Life
Life Is like that! We have
to clamp onto 1t whenever
1t Is vibrating In our hands.
Otherwise it is likely to 60
limp and we may never re-
discover our dreams or our
selves again.
I am thinking of these
next eight weeks in terms Of
my S-Week Self.Improve-
ment Marathon. and I have
no hesitation In urging you
to join it. I know what it
can mean to you in terms Of
health and happiness and
beauty.
Most of you know about the
Marathon. which I offer each
January in this column. The
idea is simply to see how
much you can improve your
appearance. with my help, in
eight weeks time.
BE Careful Spenders
Most Of the women who
Join Marathon want to lose
weight. The Marathon book
let gives you a calorie chart,
but be careful about how
you plan your meals and
how you spend your calories.
Spend them on the foods es-
sential to health.
For instance. build your
menus with lean meat, fowl,
