A newspaper corfespondesnt in a r ei^hboring city discourses elo- r '~»t?y on the virtues of walking as an exercise. “There is no ex- < Js3 so simple and safe or more effective in re g ults than walking,* h° writes, but it should be “not an aimless stroll, but a brisk stepping e ong. with head up, chest ex panded and snap and energy put into every stride.” Here is excellent advice, which loses nothing from the fact that few will take it. Walking is the cheapest, safest and most ea s ily indulged of all exercises, yet it is to a great many people also a little dull, it demands considerable time —three hours a day this corres pondent sets as a minimum—and it puts one in that quaint and con- spicuoug classification known as a pedestrian. It is the $60,000,000,000,000 earned and spent every year by American Chorus—“The Bells of St. Mary’s” “The Waltz”—from music play workers, in normal times, that make f° r Every Day—Addie Bunch. prosperity. The few that live on unearned in come cannot absorb the nation's auto mobile, radio, washing machine or vacuum cleaner output. “Disarmament Is vital to the re vival of business,** said President Hoover to the Internatioual Chamber of Commerce, adding: “Of alt propos als for the economic rehabilitation of the world I know of none which com pares in necessity or Importance with the successful results of general dis armament.** General disarmament, if feasible, and if those agreeing to it would act loyally, would save many billions a year. Put who will disarm first? Why not let those begin disarmament who have started all the Important inter national wars of a hundred years past. To be a walker is al-i This country has never started one. most to admit social inferiority. Walking is primarily an occupa tion for dreamers; it is for those; who can find congenial company in their own thoughts and are able to set them to the exhilarating rhythm of their own striding feet. Walking for exercise only can be as hopelessly dull as morning set ting-up exerci g es or a cold shower performed as a conscientious duty. Giving up three hours every day to walking merely as a concession to one’s health, is a great deal to ex pect in this swiftly moving age. x 20,000 See Forestry Movies According to the monthly report just issued by the American For-, estty Association, 20,840 men, wo men and children have seen the moving pictures on Forest Con servation the month ber 7,000 w^re colored.

That Is too much if spent unnecessarily. But it is a small sum if the spending prevents serious revolution. England preferred sending money to the continent, financing the fights of others in Napoleon's time, to going over and fighting on her own account.

King George of England is celebrat ing the end of his twenty-first year as king. Only seventeen English kings and queens have remained longer than twenty-one years on the throne. King George hns now equaled the term of William the Conqueror. His has been a different term. The Conqueror ruled. He suppressed many small kingdoms to make a big one. wiped out villages and farms to create vast deer parks. Long after his death, as late as the time of Henry II, an English workman moving from one parish to another in search of a job, without permission, was branded on his flesh with a redhot iron. ‘ * at this meeting that Helen Gil christ from the Washington club | will be a delegate to the state shor: course.

For economical production, dairy cows should be in good condition— neither fat nor thin. They should receive all the good roughage they will clean up. A low producer will eat about as much roughage as a good producer. The difference in Calvin Ooolidge says we have too feeding comes in the grain allow- * many lawyers anj too many not of ance.
