Salads were born to do us good"
l was particularly reminded of this
quotation this week when lunching
with some friends who had returned
from an extended trip abroad. One
of them said: Mrs. Kirk, 1 was so
surprised in not finding more unusual
salads in France. especially in Paris
Just very simple lettuce, endive and
green vegetables with a simple French
dressing"
Yes, it takes the Yankee wit to bring
some things to perfection, even though
they are "fearfully and wonderfully
made" as many OF our salads are.
Salads were and are born to do US
good, If we keep just the simplicity in
them which we have learned originally
from our French friends. I do not
Say that they should not appeal to the
! eye, for they should, but they should
not be the heavy, indigestible concoc-
tons called salads which We have so
often served to us.
Here are some of the delicious fresh
| spring things all ready for our salads,
and we should eat more OF them in
the next two or three months than
/ IN the same time Just passed, as they
are fine reJuvenators for young or old:
| Beets, cabbage, celery, tomatoes, Gu
cumbers. beans. carrots, lettuce, dan
delion, watercress. endive, spinach,
Spanish onions, asparagus (canned).
Besides the green vegetables are
potatoes, eggs, fish lobster and sal
NOM, oranges, cherries grapefruit,
! grapes, nuts. chicken and veal and
many other things too numerous to
mention here.
With the materials at hand and the
careful preparation OF the same-that
is, green, crisp, clean and dry, and
vegetables and meats cooked and chill
ed-the next important thing in the
making of salad is the dressing and
combination Of one or more materials
for foods.
Salads are divided into two classes
dinner salads and luncheon and sup
per salads.
Dinner salads are served usually
with a perfect French dressing anC
luncheon or supper salads with may
onnaise dressing, and these dressings
may be varied as ones good taste anC
ingenuity may devise.
Material-Olive oil, six tablespoon
fuls; lemon juice or vinegar, two ia

Welchonce Headed for
Atlanta; Volunteers
Viii Fight for Him

Bill Smith has secured Harry Well
chonce, the leading batter of the
Southern League last season, to play
the center garden for the Crackers.
Furthermore, Atlanta baseball follow
ers may have a chance to see the for
mer Nashville star in action against
the Boston Braves in one of the games
here this week.
Manager Griffith, who has Welchonce
in his camp at the present time, has
secured waivers on the famous South
ern League batter, from Cleveland in
the American League. For long time
Joe Birmingham had refused to waive
on Welchonce, hoping to secure the
outfielder and then send him back to
Nashville.
However there may be some trouble
on the part of Smith in securing We'll
chonce. The Nashville club, on hear
ing OF Smiths grab, does not intend
to let his former star get out of his
reach without making a fight. Man
ager Schwartz claims that Welchonce
is the property of the Nashville club
while Smith says he is now a member
of the Crackers. President Galloway
says the case may go to the National
Commission

The PEST.

THE PEST.
The hits and runs were coming fast;
The inning was the very last.
Around the sacks the players sped,
And some one blocked my view and
said:
"Peanuts?"
The sacks were filled and one was out;
A player hit a mighty clout;
And as / strained to watch the bloke
A lowbrow blocked the way and spoke:
"Crackerjack?"
1 heard the crowd around me boot,
And knew some youth had made a
boot.
I looked, but all that / beheld
Was one who blocked the way and
yelled:

ton, that l have gained consider
able knowledge of how to conduct
myself in competition. This racing
sense was drilled into me by sensi-
BILE and experienced advisers, and
by making a constant study of my
own as well as my opponents style
and ability.
When l entered public school l
found most of my amusement in
playing baseball. When 1 got older

gaining speed for baseball. Every
day found a bunch of US young
sters in the fields, racing our heads
off in baseball games, only stop

manner | unconsciously fitted my
self for track work, which began
when l entered high school in 1909.
If | might be allowed to offer a
bit Of advice to the youngsters who
are thinking of taking up track
work l would tell them not to go
into 1t too seriously until they have
had several years of general work
to develop themselves. Play is the
thing which makes boys healthy
and strong Then they will not
fall out of the running when 1t be-
comes hard, for they will be strong
and able to stand the strain. There
were many fellows who could beat
me on the track when started, but
they never amounted to much, be-
cause they had not the physique
Never hold a competitor too
cheaply. l have done that several
times to my sorrow. Run your own
race. and you will have more sue
cess than if you try to allow your
rival to run it for you.

MONSTER FARM
STALL|NGS' PLAN

TT George Stallings can round
up some team in the American
League to help him solve the
problem of expense he will buy
the farm next to his at Haddock,
Ga, erect a barracks, fit up a
modern kitchen, lay out about ten
acres in diamonds and introduce
the simple life into baseball train
ing.
There's too much city, too many
bright lights, too many diversions
and not enough hard work to base
ball training these days." accord
ing to Col. Stallings.
What l want" says George, lis
to get off away from cities and to
settle down to training as the
Yale and Harvard crews prepare
for boat race.
These lads go to some remote
place on the river The boys are
under as strict discipline as soldiers,
They never leave the place. They
talk. eat, drink and sleep rowing.
AS result, when they get In the
boat for the big race they are
trained down fine"
G TALLINGs has it all schemed
out for a baseball training
camp the like of which the
country never knew before. He
will have a rough but comfortable
building erected for the players to
live in. 1t will be deliberately
equipped with shower baths, and
Will have comfortable dining
room, a big living room, a bill
lard room and perhaps a neat
gymnasium. The kitchen will con-
tain every improvement known,
for Stallings Is stickler for
three squares with filings" and
believes that ball players ought to
get perfectly prepared food-but
nothing fancy.
Probably four diamonds would
be laid out, one for each of the
first teams" and one for each
Of the Yannigans. They've got
more solid ground around Haddock
than they know what to do with
and a couple of diamonds more or
less will not matter Labor is
cheap, mules are plentiful and the
grading would cost but little.
In addition to a diamond for ev-
cry fifteen or twenty men there
would be tennis courts. outdoor
handball courts and everything
possible TO encourage the athletes
to work outdoors.
IT HE success of the plan now
hinges on Manager Stallings'
ability to get some American
League club to go in with him. He
can demonstrate that the club will
save enough the first year to pay
the cost Of the plant and that aft
erward the thing will show a profit
Of from loo per cent 10 300 per
cent a year.
