but they have not yet come under Pro
fessor Magee’s observation. For Ber
narr Magee is the product of a careful
system of athletic tr lining that has ex
tended from the kiddo’s second month
until the present time.
Right now Bernarr is a trained ath
lete. He can box. wrestle, balance on
his father's shoulders, throw somer
saults that would be a credit to Ring
ling's, and at the age of two years and
a half could hold a 50-pound weight off
the ground by the grip of his hands.
His Development Amazing.
The measurements here given indi
cate the result of this lad’s amazing
development. He is 2 1-2 inches over I
the average height for his age. he
weighs three pounds more than the av
erage child of four years. And his mus
cles would do credit to an average child
of five.
At the request of The Georgian. Pro
fessor Magee has prepared some rules
for the development of children of three
years old and thereabouts. They are:
1. Put up a small horizontal bar, on
which the child can work. He will in
vent his own exercises there.
2. Encourage the boy to turn somer
saults. It is ' natural trick of children
and one they enjoy.
3. Go through regular light calisthe
nics with the boy. The sort of exer
cises are not material. Books on the
subject are readily obtainable.
Teach the Boy Boxing.
4. Remember, you must take the ath
letic work along with the child. There
is no chance in the world that he will
do it by himself.
5. Teach the lad the first rudiments
of boxing. Get a set of boxing gloves,
teach the child the correct position,
how to elencii the fist, ami the ele
ments of hitting ami defense. <Jf
course, at three a child picks up but
little, but It learns self-control and gets
a start that may afterward enable it to
defend itself.
6. Club swinging is an attractive
amusement for small children. They
should start with clubs weighing a
quarter of a pound. They rapidly learn
the simple movements.
7. See that the child lias plenty of
baseballs and a football. This encour
ages outdoor exercise and gives them
exercise in away that is particularly

attractive to them. The bill is the nat
ural plaything for the child.
8. Do all of the physical development
work possible OUTDOORS. When out
door work is not possible, be sure that
it is done with windows and doors open,
so that plenty of fresh air is available.
Exercise without fresh air is almost
worse than no exercise.
These rules apply equally well for
girls and boys. Even boxing is a first ■
class exercise for girls. Professor Ma
gee has a small daughter who Is clever
with the gloves and who can give her
brothers a stiff argument over the
Queensberry route.
It is quite possible that some parents
in Atlanta have developed their chil
dren even better than Bernarr Magee
has been developed. The thing could
happen. If you know a child or have a
child that stacks up more nearly per
, feet, let The Georgian know about it.

MUSTS TO AID
IN CONCERT FOR
MS FOND
Triple Band Will Be Feature of
Big Musical at the Grand
Theater Sunday.
i ■ c ;
By Evelyn Wren
Nothing since the Empty Stocking
Fund whs opened has promised such a
substantial addition to the fund as the
offer of Atlanta musicians to give a
whole Sunday afternoon for the poor
children. The concert next Sunday aft
ernoon at the Grand should fill the big
theater easily and bring in a harvest of
money to buy Christmas gifts for tha»
hundreds of little folks who otherwise
would be forgotten on Christmas morn
ing.
Since the announcement yesterday of
the Sunday concert the Christmas Ed
itor has received numerous offers of
assistance by talented singers, and the
complete program soon will be made
public.
Miss Margherita Carter has prom
ised to sing, and "The Singing Mar
tins.” a grand opera act, will give sev
eral numbers. The Martins are sing
ing at tii<' Montgomery thi ater, but Mr.
Montgomery consented readily to per
mit them to appear at The Georgian’s
concert.
Record Band to Play.
The band will be the biggest and best
which has played in Atlanta in years.
It will, in fact, be three bands com
bined, the Fifth regiment, under C. E.
Harber; the Wedetneyer, under Fred
Wedemeyer. conductor, and Matthles
sen's combined band and orchestra, un
der Jake Matthlessen. The three con
ductors will lead the triple band for
two numbers each.
The concert was offered for the
Christmas funil by the local union of
the American Federation of Musicians,
and the use of the Grand Is given free
of charge by Managir Hugh Cardoza.
Every cent contributed by the audience
will go toward making hundreds of poor
children happy on Christmas morning
just a week from today.
No tickets will be sold. All who come
will he welcome, but a collection will be
taken and every auditor Is expected to
contribute something, a little or a lot, to
help fill the stockings next Wednesday.
Rich's Girls Aid Fund.
No more striking evidence of the
wide api>eal which The Georgian'*
Christmas fund Is making has been
furnished than the action today of girls'
in the corset department of Rich’s store
who raised $lO from among their none
too easily earned savings. That $lO
will go a long way toward providing a
I bright Christmas morning for more
titan one Atlanta youngster, and if the
Empty Stocking Fund had done noth
ing except giving the opportunity for a
display of this sort of spirit it would
have been well worth while.
Let's Make Every Kiddie Happy.
You who crawied out of a cozy bed
this morning and looked out from a
warm room Into the rain outside said to
yourselves:
"Nasty, dreary day! Gloomiest I ever
su w I ’’
But it was not half so gloomy and
cheerless as next Wednesday morning
will be to the children whose stockings
hang empty by the chimney; the chil
dren whom Santa Claus forgot.
The Christmas Editor has received
more than $l,lOO to help brighten the
day for these little brothers and sisters
of all of us, but the list of the poor is a
long one—longer than tile list of con
tributions. More Is needed-—a great
deal more—to carry happiness on.
Christmas morning to the children the
Christmas Editor knows.
Filling Empty Stockings Now.
But a few days remain. The Christ
mas shopping for the Empty Stockings
lias begun. Tile packages must be made
up next Monday and Tuesday. After
that it will be too late.
The list of contributors still is open,
and the Christmas Editor would like to
add a hundred names to it today and
another hundred each day this week.
A letter with a check or a note will be
the best way; a telephone message to
tha Christmas Editor Is next best.
Big Stores Help.
Several stores of Atlanta will aid
tlie fund materially in providing goods
for tile poor who will be helped at cost
price or less. Among them are Keely’s,
Rich’s and tile McClure establishments.
This is an unnatural con
dition —a little rest each day
and Scott’s Emulsion after
every meal gives nature the
material to restore strength.
Scott’s Emulsion is a
strength-building, curative
food and tonic to ooercome
wcaknen and fafigue—-contains
no alcohol or drug.
It doesn’t stnpefy the
nerves, it feeds them. ?
Expectant and nursing mothers
always need Scott’s Emulsion.
