Your husband has an I'M
fortunate disposition, and jeal-
ousy is a very difficult problem to
deal with. About the only way to
help him is for you to be careful
about your actions, and at the
same time laugh him. ont of his
jealousy. Assure him that he is
the Only One to you. Some
young wives make the mistake of
going into details about past love
affairs, and arousing latent jeal-
ousy by this silly act. Never do
this, Make him understand that

GOBBtES OYSTERS AS FAST
AS EXPERTS open THEM
Human Marvel Wins GluttOnOus
Contest at Hartman's -Many
Interesting Events

Fritz Hartman's grand oyster
opening carnival and eating contest
at Eagles's hall last night produced
several gastronomic marvels among
hungry bootblack' who devoured so
oysters at the rate Of one in four Sec
onds and hollered for more. For this
stunning exhibition he was awarded
$40. So elated was he that he came
back to enter in the 25 oyster eating
contest, and also to file his entry
in the pie eating contest. But the
might be overtaxed and they ruled
him out.
The events were witnessed by
gathering Of sporting men from sew
era1 cities, and many oystermen from
South Norwalk and this city. Music
was played by the Wheeler & Will
son band, both during the contests
and for a cake walk that followed.
Fritz Hartman peeled off many a
good sized bill from his roll to pay
of the prize winners, and though the
audience was not large, he presided
over the affair with his accustomed
geniality.
In the oyster contest, Boston, a ne
gro Of South Norwalk, finished first,
with 176 perfect oysters out of a pos
sible $50. Peter Lawson, white, open
234 out of a possible $50 in the side
knitting contest, winning over Stabel1
who had 1913. In the stabbing contest,
William Smith defeated William
Skunk by a close margin.
Lawson's showing was regarded a s
the most striking exhibition of the
night. He opened the ESQ oysters in
Is minutes and 80 seconds.
The oyster eating contests attracted
the greatest interest. 'T haven't eat
en- for days. said Dondora, as he
loosened his staring tie, flung open
the collar of his flannel shirt, Iosened
his belt and waited for the referee
to shout, thine"
With clock like precision he snatch
ed up the bivalves as fast as they
were opened. and finished his 5Oth
without apparent effort. Paul Vitella
ate 25 in about minutes. Other en-
trants failed to fulfill the. require
ments, one of them offering as an ex-
cuse that the oyster opener was feed
ing him the oysters, shells and all.
