the squad.

If you have a stake in life, it is worth playing the game for all there
is in it.

The man who gets things is the one who pulls up his belt a hole tighter
and goes out after them.

If you will save your smoke till after luncheon, you'll never have
smoker's heart.

A bath, cold if you please, hot if you must, with a good rub, starts the
day right.

GROUP II

Grind: (The order is "Shoulder Grind. Ready--Cross. Balance Turn.
Grind!") Assume the "Cross"[2] position. (See Fig. 2, Chapter V.) The
palms are then turned up, with the backs of the hands down and the arms
forced back as far as possible. (See Fig. 4.)

[Illustration: FIG. 4.--GRIND

In the "Grind" special precaution should be taken not to let the center
of the circle, that the hands are making, come in front of the
shoulders; an attempt should almost be made to make the shoulder-blades
meet. This is particularly necessary on the reverse.]

Then to a measured counting--"One, two, three, four, five," up to
ten--circles of twelve-inch diameter are described with the finger
tips, the latter moving forward and upward, the arms remaining stiff and
pivoting from the shoulders. On the backward movement of the circle the
arms should be forced back to the limit. A complete circle should be
described at each count. Then reverse, going through the same process,
the circles being described in the opposite direction.

In the "Grind" exercises special precaution should be taken not to let
the center of the circle, that the hands are making, come in front of
the shoulders; it should be straight out in the horizontal position;
moreover, as the arm goes backward an attempt should be made to make the
shoulder-blades almost meet. This is particularly necessary on the
reverse--that is, when the hands are coming forward--for here the
tendency, unless men keep the shoulders back, is to contract the chest.

Grate: (The order is "Shoulder Grate. Ready--Cross. Grate!") Assume the
"Cross" position. Then at a count of "One" the arms are slowly raised,
as a deep inhalation is taken, to an angle of forty-five degrees from
horizontal; at the same time the heels are raised till the weight of the
body rests on the balls of the feet. (See Fig. 5.)

[Illustration: FIG. 5.--GRATE

The caution in the "Grate" position is not to let the arms drop, even a
fraction of an inch, below the horizontal, and not to let t
