Did it ever occur to you that
chefs might, at times, suffer from
the effect of their cooking? Funny,
isn't it, that chap who oversees
the public's feeding, might repent
meal of their own conception.
Few do or, at any rate, few admit
that they have ever been afflicted
with the pangs of indigestion.
A round of Spokane's grillrooms
brought to light that only one of
the seven visited had chef who
had repented the fact that he was
culinary artistic. The other six
offered lucid explanation.
"Why, said No. l, would you
expect chef to own up to getting
indigestion from his own cooking,
even If he did get his once IN a
while? Not much. If We did, our
Jobs wouldn't last long. But listen,
and I'll tip you off to the one best

Why, man, il we played that COM
bination a week steady, we'd never
be able to eat again. I'm telling
you right when | say that we live
simpler than 80 per cent Of the
chaps who are doing the double
act on $12 per.
Believe me, none OF this high
spice and wine in ours. Just plain
beer and the chewing stuff on the
same line Is what we ship our way.
Up to you to get around the heavy
dope. We work for a living, and
we've got to keep our health"
Nearly every one of the six had
a tale along the same line. with

CRANKY, Mass, July 5.-Why is
the average woman more afraid of
q mouse than of her husbands
wrath over her milliner's bill? Why,
at the sight of a wee. inoffensive
rodent, will she fly screaming to a
table or chair to the accompani-
ment of a reckless display of hos
iery? And can anybody under the
sun explain why the nervy young
woman who will grapple with and
capture a burglar and turn him
over to the police, will pull off a
lovely fainting fit if somebody
shouts, look at the mouse!"
Absolutely for the first time in
befrilled womanhoOd, real, live
and normal woman has advanced to
the firing line with answers to the
foregoing questions. This daring
woman is Miss Abbie E. C. Lathrop,
the owner of successful mouse
farm at CRANKY, Mass. She raises
yearly from 5000 to 10000 rats and
mice for medical laboratories.
"Woman's fear Of the mouse"
says Miss Lathrop, 81 believe dates
back to the Garden of Eden.
There can be no possible doubt
about it, for as far back as l have
been able to go in the history Of
the world, women have hoped,
skipped and jumped at the sight OF
a mouse.
"Now, there is only one way to
account for this feminine fear Of
rats and mice. There were rodents
in the Garden of Eden, and Mother
Eve got MORALLY afraid of them for
some reason or other. or course
being afraid of mouse in her day

"In very rare cases, q woman

the Inheritance of the fear Of the
mouse. happened to be one OF
them, and l consider it a great
piece of good fortune for I have
been able to raise rats successfully
and to make living that would be
the envy of many women imbued
with the Goth century commercial
spirit"
In her rodent family, Miss Lath-
rop has mice of 10 different colors
and 20 combinations of color. White
is ordinary and black is not star
Ting, but when it comes to cream
colored mice or orange mice, one is
surprised. She also has silver, blue
and agouti mice. The red mice are
much the color of the boy of a
horse, and the blue mouse is about
the color of a Maltese cat. The
agouti mice have dark brown hair
with yellow tips which gives gold
en- brown effect. Her silver mice
with ruby eyes are the rarest COM
binations.
One of the most remarkable
things about Miss Lathrop's farm
is her Angora cat, Tab" This
feline will not allow strange cat
on the farm and she protects Miss
Lathrop's rats and mice from the
wild rodents. Sometimes one of
Miss Lathrop's mice will escape
from it's cage, but Tab" will not
kill it. Instead, it will place 1t
carefully between its jaws and
bring it unframed to its mistress.

Stoyall would give the Tigers a

a pitcher with wide low curve. In

was weak against that sort of fiinging,
Stovall found Napland tough place
for him TO compile much of batting

lot OF left-handers and he can hit
them a mile.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-(Special.l =
The Tiger management Is making
every effort TO land George Stovail
from the Cleveland club. For a long
time President Nayin and Manager
Hugh Jennings have been sweet upon
the tall man who plays first for the
Cleveland club. An effort was made
10 get Stovall last summer but the
deal fell through. SO negotiations are
now pending
Detroit, IL Is understood, Is willing
to give Matty Mcintyre and some
cash for Stovall or will consider a
proposition involving Chick Lathers.
Nothing definite has come to light yet
In the proposed deal. but the Tiger
officials here are bending every effort
to put the trade through.
There was a time, last spring, when
Stovall might have been secured oy
Detroit with considerable ease. be-
cause Cleveland was woefully hard
up for outfielders. Since then the
Maps have shifted Catcher Easterly 10
the outfeld and landed Joe Jackson
from New Orleans. These two with
Jack Graney make an outfield OF some
merit.
Cleveland Is not altogether satisfied
with the work of Ed. Hohnhurst at
first base, because he showed himself
an erratic fielder. Fans in Detroit
