Value of CJraceful GmtUico I
Once I read of a queer old man
whose favorite text In the Bible was
"At Mlchroash they laid up " their
carriages." I don't know where. Mlch
mash was, nor what kind"1 of . car
riage were kept there, but every
time I see a person With a particular'
ly awkward bodily carriage I think
of MichmaBh and wish we had some
place now , where modern . people
could . lay ud their carriage for
repairs. ,' . t . ; . . ...J: ., V(. "
I sigh when I notice bow badly
many women stand and walk., And I
sigh mora when I notice hew they Bit.
Of course, women are
?i exnected to hang on
to straps nowadays,
but when they do ait.
fJflt really Is. surprising
w kS' at awkward and
ungainly poses some
of them assume.
I used to think that
imy grandmother was
f usey. ' She would aay,
"My dear! N lady
aits with her, knees far apart." :
"Oh, mercyl child, how are you
Bitting? Irhven't X told you time
and again that it is not lady-like to
have your knees crossed? ,You may
cross the feet If you wish, out not the
knees."
"Sit up, sit up, girlie." Yotf , will
get round shouldered if you let your
chest fall In and you, yourself,. droop
down in that Unless manner. , It is
not good for your spine, either;" i
And I would protest and say. that
I could be a lady no natter bow
sat or stood. Nevertheless, I knew,
in ' my heart that what my grand
mother meant by "lady-like", i and
"being a lady" was really '.'graceful
and "refined." Naturally, ' a grace
ful and refined girl would be a lady.
She couldn't be anything else. ...That
which is ugly, uncouth or vulgar
cannot possibly - be called graceful
and refined. There is no beauty in
any of the poses that ( grandma ob
jected to. , ' ' ? v
Sitting with the knees far apart.

or with the feet well extended is
ugly, to say the least. Crossing the
knees,-' as everyone knows, can be
done gracefully, but a girl should
use good judgment whn and where
she assumes that position.: Now if
some of you ask me why that is, I
ant Rolng to quote again from grand
mother's philosophy. She would say:
"My : dear, there are times and
places when lefts, no matter how
shapely, should not be exhibited, es
poclally In a manner to attract atten
tlon. Those are the occasions when
even grace may become Vulgarity
r Personally, I think grandmother's
Ideas were. In thd main, pretty good
Certainly it does ho harm to think
them over. . One is apt to forget and
grow careless. We of the screen
have to be very particular how we
sit or walk, or even stand. ' If you
could hear what ' the' directors say
when we' fall from grace, so to speak,
you would not be" surprised that we
acquire the habit of Btudylng It from
every angle.' That Is, If grace may
be permitted to have angles.. Per
sonally, I think It should not 1
never heard an artist talk about the
beauty of angles. But all artists, as
well as baseball players, I am told,
admire curves. Now there Is a way
to Btand and a way to sit that makes
people look awkward and angular.
And there is another way to stand
and a way to sit which delights the
eye of an artist, makes the film di
rector happy , and causes others to
observe. ,, . V-.;; '
"How graceful that person 1st"
. There is an ideal manner of stand
ing, sitting and bodily poise in all
movements. Military authorities rec
ognise this to such an extent that a
proper bodily carriage is considered
essential for military efficiency. Snce
the war the majority of youny men
appear, to far better advantage in
this respect than they did before
their training. .Those girls and
women who drilled In women's or
ganizations have also improved. But
there are still many who are either
careless or . totally , unconscious of
their "sway" back," round shoulders
and ungainly postures.
I sometimes wonder, when I" see
people with these unlovely, ungrace
ful and - unhealthy , defects, if they
have never been taught the value of
proper poise. Surely everyone knows
that a person who stands, walks and
sits correctly Is able to do much
more with less fatigue than if the
body Is put to unnecessary strain by
being out of plub.
Qsace as well as beauty can be ac
quired without expense in the home.
If you want to take a course in home
training to improve your carriage
begin by measuring yourself against
the edge of a door. If the inside of
the ankle bone, the tip of the hip,
and the tip of the shoulder are placed
touching the edge of the door, an
erect position r will be assumed.
Should this seem difficult or awk
ward it is because one has been in
the habit of standing badly. By
bringing oneself to the proper posi
tion a dozen times a day and walk
ing with the sine erect, round shoul
ders will be overcome'. It is surpris
ing bow much can be accomplished
in only one month of practice.
"Sway back" is the term applied
when the abdomen Is thrust forward
and the shoulders back. No woman
can be graceful nor wear her clothes
as well who has that posture. Any
tendency to sway back or round
shoulders should be corrected
promptly. . ,
. Once such habits are well acquired
long and patient training will be nec
essary to overcome them. But it can
be done. When accomplished you
will find that health, beauty and effi
ciency have been increased for life.

Would Not AJTect Those Now Hold
ing Land, But Would Prevent
Others Frem Securing It
I ' At different times In the1 past, par
ticularly during the time of the draft
there was considerable talk with ref
erence, to the wisdom of making it
Impossible- for an alien to own land,
it being argued that anyone who took
advantage of the fact that he was not
naturalized to escape army service
should not be permitted to own. soil
in the land from which he was per
fectly willing to make his wealth, hut
which he refused to aid in time of
stress. ' t '' ;
j Proposal 215, Introduced by Dele
gate J. G. Beeler of North Platte, for
consideration of the constitutional
convention, would deny the rights
of aliens to acquire land in Nebraska
either by title or lease. If adopted
It would not divest those alienee now
holding such rights. ' '.'
Mr. Beeler, In explaining his pro
posal, says that while It is not di
rected at any particular nationality,
but applies to all foreigners, . that
Japanese aliens have been ' recently
purchasing land In western Nebraska
to an , alarming extent, particularly
around Scottsblufl. where a large
Japanese colony now exrsts.
Mr. Beeler's proposal would also
limit further extensions of the large
Scully estate in Gage county, the
ownership of which Is in England
and its occupancy in the -hands of
tenants. Scottsblufl Republican.

There are statesmen knowing not
which road to take
While our anarchists, red-handed,
flare the way.
There are horny-handed slackers led
