ALSO TOO LITTLE WALKING Many Girls at "Riverbank," Frem All Levels of Society, Being Trained and Studied by Special Staff of Physical Culture Experts HAIL the super-flapper, the young woman who is physically and men- nllv nerfect! The German philosopher, Nietzsche, may have gene en an ardent hunt for the super-man, but he did net go about it in the practical way in which Colonel Geerge Fabyan, multi-millienaire country gentleman of Geneva, III., has started out te And the super-flapper. In fact, Colonel Fabyan, n business man who spent a fortune in his efforts te prove through a cipher cede that Francis Bacen wrote the works cf Shakespeare and whose experiments with peacocks, blooded dogs, prize Jerseys and ether animals have gained him widespread interest, has itartcd out te develop the perfect flapper On his Fex River estate, which is called' by some the "Garden of Eden," Colonel Fabyan has collected nearly a score of young women from every stratum of society. His experi ments have been going en for some time. He lias a special staff of physical culture experts from the East, headed by Miss Mary Tedd, of New Yeik. They have analyzed the flap per, put her through tests, taken sci entific photographs of her, all te find what is wrong with the modern young woman. The main thing that interestn Colonel Fabyan is the elimination of the "flapper" or "debutante slouch." "Seme of the young women come te my laboratory with a languorous droop and n stiange, gliding walk," jays Colonel Fabyan. "They stand in cioeked postures, and I find that they aie somewhat out of shape. "I think that a great many of the peculiar slouches and wnlks of the modern girl arc due te the dances through which she wiggles new adays. "Then, the average girl grows up nexcr knowing hew te walk prop erly. She is continually riding in street cms, riding in automobiles. If the steps te think, she will find she doesn't xvnlk mere xthan a dozen blocks a day. "Moreover, she gees te dance.-!, and in elder te get through the dance properly she must held her eelf in seme unusual position bow her back, threw her hips forward, bend her neck. Finally she begins te walk that way. "There is bieathing, tee. The average girl never learns hew te breathe. She merely takes air gin gerly into her lungs, enough air te keep them going. She doesn't breathe deeply, make the air go te the bottom of the lungs. The result is that she is chicken breasted, and her bleed is thin, due te a lack of feed, enriching oxygen. The bottom of her lungs seen grows together, and here tubercular and ether germs find a nest. "The carriage of the young woman interests me mere than any thing else, I suppose. If she steed properly, she would prebnbly walk properly and breathe properly. Carriage of Modern Girl Is Criminal, Fabian Says "The carriage of the average girl today is criminal. 'In my experiments at Geneva I Fabyan Asserts Every One Can Become Centenarian EVERYONE can live te be a hundred years old, says Cel. Fabyan, under correct conditions. He speaks with the authority of one who has achieved triple success in three distinct fields of activity, these of business, letters, and sciencei Net only has be made millions of dollars in cemmercial'pursuits, but he is recognized as one of the .foremost students of cryptograms in the world, in which connection he rendered valuable services te the Allies in the uar, and figured largely in the Bacen-Shakespeare controversy. In addition, he is wtll-knewn for his scientific in vestigations. "Ulan started as a wriggling snake," he says. "He became a tadpole, acquired shoulders, grew into an antliropeidal ape. Then he decided te stand up, italic en his hind legs and become a man. "But our stomachs were made te be carried horizontally, net vertically. Loek at the sickness that has come from defying nature.

We have first shown the young woman hew te stand properly, and then we have provided exercises whereby she can strengthen these muscles which will maintain this carriage. "The position in which the modern flapper should stand is like the posi tion of 'attention' requited of the soldier. It is like this: "First. Heels together nnd en a line.

Fabyan, and that is as follews: "First. Heels together and en a line. If the heels are net en ti line, the hips, and sometimes even the shoulders, are thrown out of line. "Second- Feet turned out equally, forming an angle of 45 degrcts. If the feet are net turned out equally, the result will be the same as above. "Third. Knees extended without stiffness. Musetes should be con traded just enough te keep the knees straight. "Fourth. The trtink erect en the hips, the spine extended through' out its entire length. The position of the spine and the trunk is most essential. In extending the spine the young woman must feel that the trunk is being stretched up from the ivaist until the back is a$ straight as it can be made. In stretching the spine the chest should be arched and raised, without, however, raising the shoulders or inter fering with natural respiration. "Fifth. Shoulders falling naturally and moved back until they are square. Being square meant having the shoulder ridge and the point of the shoulder at right angles te a general anterior-posterior plaiie passing though the body. They should never be forced back te this point. "Sixth. Arms hanging naturally, thumbs against the middle 6f the outside of the leg, fingers extended and back of the hand turned out. The arms must net be forcibly extended nor held rigidly; if they rc a compensating faulty curve will appear in the lumbar region. "Seventh. Head erect, chin raised until neck is vertical, eyes fixed upon some object of their own height. "Eighth. When this position is correctly assumed, the girl is taught te incline the body forward until the weight rests chiefly upon the balls of the feet, heels resting lightly en the ground. When properly assumed a vertical line drawn from the top of the head should pass in. front of the ear, slwulder nnd thighs, and find its base at the baits of the feet. "Every tendency toward rigidity must be avoided. All muscles arc contracted only enough te maintain this position, which is one of co-ordination, of physical and mental alertness, and makes for mobility,. activity and grace. "If the young woman is taught each day te assume this proper position and keep it at all times during the exercises, she will seen have an erect, perfectly balanced posture. "One of the best exercises is as follews: "First. Assume the positten above. "Second. At first count bring arms up in front until parallel with the ground, palms together. "Third- Swing arms swiftly backward as far as possible; in fact, try te touch the tips of the fingers in the back. At the same time rise en the tees. "Fourth.
