Even Bookworms Who Don't Want to Get Rid of Ugliness or Deformities Forced to Take Exercises That Make Them Symmetrical and Well-How the Work Is Done at Teachers and Barnard Colleges Here. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. ha, the gnat American artht of the twentieth century begtm looking for the perfect American woman, the chance are that he'll find her among the college graduates. For ono by ono tho American colleges for women are coming to the conclusion that nn Abroln hampered by an B-body Is more of a tragedy than anything else. If the thin, sallow, spectacled collcgo girl, with nor tho new year women students at the rolled In a courso which has for Its dellnltn purpose tho eradication of physical Imperfections.

Under the supervision of experts, the students will practise irmdmil gymnastics to correct physical deformities or abnor malities, and to promote' symmetrical physical development. "For instance," explains the bulletin itsusd by the university, "if a girl carries one shoulder higher than another she will be given exercises to raise the tow shoulder and lower the high one. If one hip is lower than another special treatment will be given to that imperfection." Indeed, In a truly Greek spirit of unashamed candor, the university bulletin promises that "if the calf of one leg is larger around than that of the other, exercises will be given to make them equal." NEW YORK'S TWO COLLEQE8 WORKING TOWARD SAME END. As I read this interesting announcement I wondered Just how far the campaign for physical perfection had advanced In Now York's two Institutions for the higher education of women. Harnnrd and Teachers College.

Hlnco both arc closed for tho holidays, I sought Information from Miss Marguerite I-. Smith, t'rcsldent of the Athletic Association of Teachers College and herself one of the notable examples of perfeot health and development, In the gymnasium shared by Barnard nnd Teachers College students. She woh catcher for tho 19H base ball team which defeated tho Harnnrd girls for thn collcgo championship, and she is known as an expert equcs trlcnne, swimmer, basketball, base ball, tennis and hockey player. Her measurements, given below ar. 1 taken In her last physical examination at college, are far above thoBe of tho average girl of her gc.

Hho Is the daughter of Dr. J. Oardner Smith and lives nt No. 21 West One Hundred and Twenty-second Strat. "The eradication of physical imperfection and the development of symmetry and grace are regular parts of the work at Teachers College," explained Mies Smith, "and have been practised there for cnouiands happy.

valui -at all dnifriit. nose permanently burled In. a book, ever existed and I'm afraid she onco did sho has already disappeared from the campus. The girl who now occupies her place la the product of culture that Is physical as well as mental. Hut I think many persons will be surprised to know that certain colleges are already working seriously and scientifically to produce women whoso bodies shall conform to tho laws of proportion, of symmetry, of grace, of hcalth--lnevltably, therefore, of perfect beauty.

If she lias broken urchos flat foot as so many girls do, sho must consult the proper kind of specialist and woar the boots ho recommends. If her diet Is plainly wrong, she Is Instructed about mai HOW GIRL'S WEAK BACK 18 HELPED BY EXERCISE. "What are the bodily defects that aro curod by exercise and what sort oi oxorciso cures tnemY" I askod. "Wall, I know a Klrl who has a weak hack," Instanced Miss Smith. "Ono thliiK sho must do Is this." The spoakur raised her arms shoulder high and, hold I if thorn at rlirht anglo to tho body, presfod tho palms against tho wall so that the flngor tips met.

Thon she bont hor body forward and back, hor chest almost touching her hands with the forward movement. In still another exercise to do away with this weakness the arms are held out-strotched, at right angles to the body, which Is kept erect during a sort of rotary movement of tho arms. "Then I think they correct round shoulders and thoso vsrv spoknn of In tho'IMttsbureh University aiiuuuncuiiiuui. uneven snouiaers and hips." "And uneven limb development?" I suggested delicately. "Oh, I'm sure thoy pay no attention to tliut sort of thlnir at Toachors College," negatived Miss Smith.

"It wouldn't bo practical, you know. "Besides the exer.Ises lo correct defects and the garnet ancj drills to strengthen weak muscles, we are taught th: correct positions for sitting, standing and walking. Nor is this confined to the hours in the gymnasium. If I don't walk to my English class with my feet parallel nnd most of the weight on balls of them, I am marked down. Lie girl alec learn praee of carriage and movement through the folk dancino clsites which form part of th ytical culture work." Then little Miss Hmlth-sho 5 feet Inches, which proves that slie Is not necessary for trnni.K symmetry.

The narnl authorities of thn zone reported to him that thern had been two violations of neutrality, ono by a ahlp wl'ih cleared without papers, the other by vnssel which used its wireless within thn zone. "1 believed from thn reports submitted." said Col. floethnls, "that thesn violations had been committed Ho I suggested to the Navy Depart ment that a warbuat bo, oont to the Cnnal Zonn to onforen neutrality. My duty ended there and I don't know wnntner my recommendation was ncted on or not." There are 25.000 workmen on the canal payroll at thn present time, but the fore la ateadlly decreasing.

When the canal la completed and In full working order the staff will comprise 7.000 men working In two ahlfts day. Tho canal Is open from 8 o'clock In the morning until 6 o'clock nt night "In the original estimates of the coat of operating tho canal," said Col. Ooethals, "a single shift of men wan considered sufficient, nut wn must have two shifts nnd tho cost In proportionately heavier. "it win cost 85,000,000 a year to operate the cannl. Thn receipts so far show that the Incomn will equal or exceed that amount.

The canal wilt be self supporting Insofar ss no- timl operating expenses are con cerned. "Wo are putting ships through In eight hours.
