HEALTH APOSTLE IS BOOKED OVER RADIO

An invitation to speak over radio j station WFBM has been extended to : Captain Godfrey Rodrigues, health expert, who is lecturing in Indian- j apolis schools this week under auspices of The Times. The captain, one of the leading physical culturists in the United States, is a specialist on posture. He holds that most human ills can be traced directly to poor posture.

mitting private corporations to construct school buildings on publicly owned sites and to lease or sell them to school corporations. The repeal feature was eliminated and the bill amended to permit an appeal to the state tax board on the

ture at Manual Thursday, and Shortridge Friday. His lectures at these three schools are to gymnasium classes. The captain, in his theory of health, likens man to animal. Animals do not stoop and shuffle along, he asserts. Neither are they troubled with the thousands of petty ills with which man is beset. If a man walked as straight as a horse, most of his ills would disappear. the captain says. His theory of correct posture has been endorsed by leading physicians and gymnasts. School officials say his theory is directly in line with methods now used in city schools.
