Health Campaign Initiated on Hill With Convocation
Movement to Last Entire Week; Ingagrated Here Under Auspices of W. A. A.
Health week, a week to be observed annually at the University has started off with a "hang"
The idea originated at the University of Illinois where the high-heeled shoe, used so much for common wear, is now standard in physical education instructors. However, the low-heeled shoe is not advocated for every occasion, only for sparring and scho-1-wear. The second shoe is also used in a posture and health campaign.
At the University of Missouri,
health week was introduced because
it was felt tris, the girls were not
getting sufficey, systematic exercise.
The main movement of exercise
and postie came as a benefit
of it.
Slogan for Week Is "Well?" Here the two ideas of Illinois and Missouri are combined in the word "well." The slogan also includes the muscle and musculus. "Well" has been chosen as the slogan for the week. The movement, which is being put on here under the auspices of Women's Athletic Association in conjunction with DePaul University physical education, will last during the entire week.
"The body may be compared to a house," said Miss Margaret Bartlett professor of physical education. "The feet are the most important part, because the feet prove to be a weak base. No one can live happily in a house that does not have a strong structure on this foundation if the heart and limbs are weak." No one can have good posture without exercise to give tone to the muscles.

America Was Cause of Recent Civil War in China, Says Close
America was the cause of the recent civil war in China.
This statement was made today by Upton Close, who was for many years a newspaper correspondent in China. Mr. Close (Josef Washington Hall) will lecture tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 in Praser church on China on "Aventures in Chinese Revolution."
In explanation of Mr. Closse's statement that America caused the revolt, he said that America's policy has been for many years in opposition to Japanese control of China. The friction between the two countries resulting from the 21 demands made on China in 1915 allied to war, and resultant destruction of the War Department disarmament. The real purpose of this conference was the settlement of the Chinese question, he said.
At the time of this conference, England, which had been in alliance with Japan, sided with America, according to Mr. Close. The nine power states from the same conference prohibited Japan from controlling any part of China.
Japan found herself deserted by England, while Russia was at the same time making advances to China and returning the lands stolen by the Caz. Then came the American exclusion law passed last summer which was passed in a way most of fervent to the Japanese.
Following America's law, and as a result of it, arms began to bekil to Chang Too-Lin, ex-handker who was in control of Mukden. He had been waiting revenge upon Wu Po Fu for years before the time came he struck. The fighting around Shanghai was an almost unconnected incident which as a match to powder. While Wu Po Fu at Peking was seeking to restore or郊 at Shanghai,敏敏 also went on to confront and is in viaticum centered of all north China today.
Thus while Japan may not control China, a Chinese general controls a large part of the country in the interests of Japan.
Professor Jecox W. Hall, who is head of the extension division urges the University of Washington, is better known by his nom-de-plume "Upton Close." Under this name, he has spent the last decade in China is editor and correspondent of several Chinese newspapers.
That Professor Hall has an inclination, first-hand knowledge of political affairs in China is shown by a letter he wrote to the minister of the English parliament. In discussing the Chinese situation, Lord Northcliffe said, "I wish I had a huded young men who know as much as I do about the Chinese." Jiao Close" comes to the University under the auspices of the extension division. Harold G. Ingham head of the extension division urges all students and members of the faculty to attend classes on the campus hearing this authority on 'present conditions in the near east.'

Britain Faces Oil Fight
---
Outcome Hinges on Government Holding's Decision
London, Inc., the Will Winston Churchill, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, cement to the sale of the Government's oil company, the Persian Oil Company?
This is the big immediate question in British politics. And it is loaded with derivite.
When Baldwin was premier before, he attempted to sell the Government's 5,000,000 shares of Anglo-Irish Oil, which he had brought with the Burmach company. He was prevented from carrying this out by the downfall of his Government and when Snowden came in as an Co-Chairman of the Exchequer, the scheme began.
Now Baldwin is back, but—by an apparent overweight-hip Chancellor of the Exchequer is the same Winston Churchill who originally purchased the shares in order to secure a navy ship that navy affair an ensured stopp (f oil).
Will he now consent to their sale? If he refuses on the grounds that national defense require national ownership of the Persian oil-fields, then there is likely to be an open rupture between the Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with far-reaching political effects.
And America is in it, too! Those groups in the “City” which want the Government to sell its shares to the companies that own the Standard Oil Company is behind the opposition. They declare that the Standard Oil in its anxiety to keep the Shell combine from waxing any more aggressive with the direct摧ags against the sale.
