The Imperial ballet methods under which we were schooled are scientific; they are systematized as the result of a generation of the closest study of scientists. None of the athletes of your vigorous America has undergone the incessant physical training which a pupil of the ballet accepts. A Russian dancer makes his physical condition Ills life work, lie has been taught what exercises keep him graceful and supple, and he practices them day and in day out. Perhaps there is tio more fundamental good to he derived from these exercises than the reduction of the hips. Our dance steps, illustrated today, are excellent for this purpose. Do not practice them too long or too strenuously. They cannot be performed at the first attempt. Try them easily at first and slowly. The figure in the background Is performed ly elasping the hands, palms out. behind the hack; rest the weight upon the left foot and stretch the right foot ha(k as far as possible, touching the toe to the floor.

' A dozen tables of five hundred were in play, after which refreshments. were served. Quite a number of the auxiliaries were represented and all had a good time. The changing from Friday to Monday nights has proven a wise move and seems to- - have added new zest to even the regular attendants. The prizes were appropriate, considering the constantly increasing cost of table necessities, and the winners of cabbages exhibited them as proudly as did those who won bags of onions and potatoes. The Union Label League is a booster organization and its members will endeavor to use the same intelligence in spending union earned dollars as husbands and fathers use in obtaining. those dollars. From a little handful of determined men and women of the early winter the membership has increased until it now numbers several hundred, with new acquisitions every meeting night. In a little while the effect of the Union Label League is going to make itself felt in organized labor circles. Those organizations which display house and shop cards and union labels are requested to send facsimiles to the league in the Labor Temple, and also those organizations in arrears are asked to pay up and elect delegates who will attend the meetings held on the second and fourth Monday nights of each month.

TreRo.v by-th- e e THIS IS HOW YOUR DESCENDANTS MAY LOOK with a somewhat IMAGIN'D yourself ton head, much smaller Jaws, no teeth and a chin sharpened and considerably more projecting. Such Is the portrait not very attractive, it would seen of your average, lineal descendant a few thousand years from now, as just drawn by l)r. Ales licka, a famous physical anthropologist. These changes In the human physiognomy and In the shape of the skull are destined to come about through the gradual deterioration of the teeth, which, from generation to generation, are becoming fewer, smaller and of poorer material. That our teeth are becoming progressively smaller and fewer is made manifest by a study of human jaws running back through the centuries to the earliest historic times, 6000 years ago, and even to those of prehistoric people whose bones have been dug up. That they are growing less durable is shown by their extreme liability to decay. The tendency lo a reduction in the number of teeth is shown by the departure of the third molars. These "wisdom teeth," as they are called, four in number, are in many individuals missing, or undersized and irregular; or they may, in other Instances, fall to erupt. To this cause the deterioration of the chewing apparatus, . says Dr. TIrdlicka, is undoubtedly attributable. Early man had little or no trouble with his teeth. But, for the reason above mentioned, the evolution of human teeth has been for a long time, and will continue to be, a process of very gradual degeneration. The habit of less use will not stop. Humankind-wil- l . not voluntarily undertake greater efforts in chewing. On the contrary.

This "zone" consists of an opening in the back of a small booth, also equipped .with a swinging panel, which, being turned to one side, reveals the figure d of a batter, while turned the other way it shows a and the means of manipulating the panel is convenient to the practicing pitcher. Every time he puts a ball into the batting zone it is registered by means of an electrical device. left-hande- right-hande- How science believes man may some day look no teeth, much smaller jaw, wider forehead and skim, jecting chin, FAVOR YOTE-ANYWI1E- NEW KANSAS LABOR LAWS. pro- as time goes on, foods will be prepared more perfectly, so as to demand As time goes on the less mastication. jaws wrill grow progressively smaller and the contour of the face will alter otherwise.
