Just naturally make folks happy by

that kind Of a person and Bobble ard
Mary still had the feeling the mex.
ssy that they had when listening to
M. Whites stories.
The day after Halloween was
tuesday ard a school day. but when
school was over Mother asked the
Children TO rake VI the leaves h
the wind had blown from a maple
and a poplar tree in the yard. It
,o=nds a great deal Of trouble But
Mother promised a splendid surprise
q the dark IL the work was well
done. She would not tell them what
# was but left Robbie and Mary 20
Eiess. Mothers plans were always
Delightful. but this was 50 mysterious
and Bobbie raked his curly head TO
guess. To tell the truth Bobble dld
no: IKE 20 work very well. There
fore he sat down to think Of what
the surprise would be. Mary was
more than thoughtful and noticed
"a. Bobb.e wasn't working.

you don't do you share. Come. now"
oh. Mary. I bet Mother is going
to make SOME fudge"
'ITi bet she Is. too" saIo Mary.
So they set TO work like little o
ers. But Mother had other ideas.
She was not going to make fudge.
Instead h leaves were to be rnked
in a D1e. and underneath them were
70 b buried siz fat potatoes and air
rosie apples. Then the careful
Mother was EoinE to light the pile
Of leaves and bake apples and pota-
toes until they were right to eat.
out in the clear cool evening the
smell Of -he burning leaves combined
with that OF the baking apples and
potatoes was almost too n,ich for
Bobbie's appetite. As soon as Dad
came home from work. the supper
cooked In h bonfire was ready to
eat. Bobb.e. Mary. Mother and Dad
sat out on he lawn with their sweat-
Ors on eating supper from the pie
Nas. Mother and Dad. although they
we're grown-ups, enjoyed the bonfire

Mary ana Bobbie did After supper
Mother was coaxed into making fudge
for which Mary and Bobb.e had wish

Essay on Milk.

MILK Is a perfee- food. 1t Is easy
III to digest, and contains n great
mount OF nourishment.
Children should have a great deal
OF milk 10 drink. and babies up &c
eighteen months should have no other
food.
There are many ways 10 use milk.
We may drink It or have cocoa made
with milk. or eat It on breakfast food
and vegetables.
Children should have at loas. four
eups Of milk a day. 1t puts roses
in their cheeks and makes them fat.
We get milk from COWS and goats.

Dempsey is a wonderful fighter

Dempsey 10 the floor. That would
enable me 10 get in my deadly holds

Would Tie Up Arms.
1T is a very easy matter to break
the arm or leg Of one who is not up
I'm wrestling If wrestler was
pitted against a fighter he would
tie up the fighters arms at once,
since that is the fighters main
weapon OF defense.
With all admiration for Demp-
sey, feel in a rough and tumble
affair, a fighter would always be
forced TO bow TO the wrestler
Zbyszko is much more modest
than Dempsey as 10 his chances.
The worlds greatest fighter figures
worlds greatest wrestler would be
soft picking for him. Dempsey
wore a broad smile at the sugges-
ton OF being turned loose in the
same ring with Zbyszko.
Bring En- On, Says Jack.
"ru knock out 2byszko and a
half dozen other champion wrest-
lers in the same ring on the same
night, says Dempsey
1T wouldn't be necessary 20 pick
me TO represent the fighters against
wrestling. Johnny Kilbane, Benny
Leonard or Jack Britton Fitted in
the same ring with the wrestling
champions at their weight would
prove the superiority Of boxing as
quickly as I would over Zbyszko.
"Au that would be necessary for
me TO do TO trim Zbyszko would be
20 sink a couple of punches in that
bay window of his, cross couple
of right-hand punches TO the jaw,

DECLARES BETTING
CAUSE OF INROADS
INTO AMATEURISM
Stagg, Chicago Athletic Direc,
tor, Gives Talk on PRO
fessiOnalism.

CHICAGO. Feb. 9.-Teling how
he had turned down an offer Of
$1,000 to become a professional
while living in college on SIG a
week, Alonzo A Stagg, University
Of Chicago athletic director, in an
address Thursday blamed betting
for the inroads of professionalism
in college athletics, and declared
that these inroads were the most
demoralizing things in the world TO
clean athletics
Nothing is more demoralizing
than the feeling How much is in IL
for me % Mr. Stagg said in ad
dressing city club luncheon. There
is a fundamental difference between
the professional and the amateur
and that difference starts at an early
age. The athletic impulse starts i'm
childhood and the stimulus changes
as the boy grows older 20 that of
emulation. of being a real part in
a social group. Then, as he grows
still older, no becomes a part Of
more organized groups and college
athletics is one of these develop
ments.
at that time competition be-
comes keener and the group impulse
becomes stronger. Then, as his skill
develops there is a possibility that
1t may become capitalized II is I'm
that case. where competition be-
comes more keen, that betting be-
gins.
This betting IS his hrst step to-
ward professionalism. He finally is
induced 10 become a professional
and generally the inducement is the
result Of some betting plan
"The temptation is strong but the
