Savage of the Savage gymnasium in NewYork city.A cable message from Paris received not long ago quoted Xr. Louis Brock as saying that the woman ofto-day, because of her kttexrvpt' at emancipation and increasing mental effort, was becoming physically an inferior being, hollow chested, and with rounded back. Dr. Savage says that this is not so, particularly with the American women, vhf^have the most and the best kind of exercise.‘It is more likely to be true of the French girl than of others/' said Dr. Savage. “The French woman impresses mo as being more feminine in a way. She does not take up sports as the American and the Englishwomen do. The Frenchman does not, for that matter. He plays golf and tennis a little now, hut fencing is the national sport. You go into the parks and recreation places in France and you win not see the people playing games; they are sitting around and eating. A French woman goes to the races and now she is doing more with fencing. .-.It was a French girl who took the French championship for fencing. No; I believe that was really one of my Pittsburg girls who was at school in France. A four*-teen-year-old French girl took the international tenuis championship the other day, bpt that was phenomenal, and I don’t know how it happened.“You always think of %the French girl as being dressed up. You don’t think of her as wearing comfortableclothes for sports as you do the English and the American girls. And in England it is really only the upper-class girls who do much with sports, •yhe German girl gets her exercise in a different way through hard work, which makes her a different type.“It has been only recently that the German women have been taking up gymnastics that have been hitherto only for the men. The turners are now beginning to open classes for women, and they are going into them. That means a great change. The turners are going through a periodof transition. The Americans won’t stand for the old heavy athletics, they want more games and the younger men are getting out of theolder organizations.“The American woman is more active, vigorous and energetic now thanat any time in my thirty years’ experience. I don’t know what the actual change in physical proportions is, though they have records of them in the women’s colleges. And I don't know as the women have changedJL A.to make soldiers of them, is the one art of defense for a Some women like to take up but it is necessary to be ca boxing with them.
