Turn the spotlight on "Stubby''
Mack, the Chicago White Sox'7
latest pitching, recruit to- make
good.
During his major league debut
at Boston August 16, Mack lost a
well pitched game 5 to 8. For SIX
innings he was on the way to a
shutout, when loss OF control
proved his undoing.
: One week later he made his sec

Pretty fair getaway for a 90
year-old recruit!
There is a bit OF sport romance
in the rise Of "Stubbyn Mack to
the ambition Of every youngster
who can play ball-the major

White .Sox played an exhibition
game at San Diego. Cal. They

 VIOLET.
 You have not given any insight as to the way in which the young man rnistreats you, and I cannot therefore judge your case or give you sat1s- factory answer. If he merely treats you as a friend and shows no sign of love, you have no reason to object. Remain his friend and enjoy him as such. But if he is not respectful. think you have reason to give him up.
 Dear Mrs. Thonpson: l have been married three years and all except for one thing have been very happy. My wife believes in what she calls con- structive criticism and whenever do something she does not like she is quick to tell me about it l am able to stand her criticism and feel helped by it when we are alone. but when we have company and she corrects me, it cuts deeply.

Before marriage she said nothing. but the first meal we had to- sether she corrected me. Most of the time I remember it is wrong. but last night we had company and I forgot and left 1t in the cup. She corrected me for that and later she was very sharp because took pickle with my fingers instead of @ little fork that was on the dish. She said she wouldn't blame our company for leaving the pickles since I did such @ thing, and she said none of the rest would do it.

"Criticising ones wife is often a daring and always a dangerous pas time. But criticising one's better half in public is, I have been told by battle-scarred husbands, a doubly reckless adventure. How much more hazardous-and still more fascinating -is the situation of the husband pre- pairing to review his wifes latest book. What old rancors. hidden jeaI- ousies, long-repressed indignations, bitter maladjustments, embroglios, may not be whispered or perhaps. in that epoch of candor uncontrolled, may be boldly blurted out.
 But being a member of the critical tribe myself I immediately assume my most frigid and impersonal man ner and declare that I an about to write of Jean Starr Untermeyer, the public poet, rather than the private if not silent partner.

AKE GIRLS KNOCK=KNEED?


 A distinguished gentlemen in Phil adelphia came forward recently with a horrible suggestion that American girl are knock-kneed. The gentleman is a wen-known sculptor and made this somewhat startling revelation in a lecture to a small class of art stu dents.
 In musical comedy shows" nae said, girls never stand with their knees together. If they did you would see the incest line of knock-knees you ever imagined
 At this most of his audience be- gan to laugh, but hs went on
 Some manager with an anatomical turn of mind found this out long ago, and now the girls stand with their feet sufficiently apart so the knees do not knock together
 He went on to say that practically all women today are knock-kneed, The healthiest specimens of young Womanhood, he said, are to be found in the girls colleges, but a recent ex- animation of 10000 college students proved how far physically the man and woman of the present day falls below the old Greek standard.
 Though we have been going in for short skirts rather enthusiastically in the last several months, we haven't. yet at least, worn them short enough to show whether the girls walking along the streets are knock-kneed ui not. We may come to this in time before the average woman finds out that no extreme of fashion is ever becoming. The thing that have mo- iced most often on the streets is the enormous number of girls who are bow-legged.

DINNER STORIES

A fashionable wedding was being celebrated in Philadelphia at one of the exclusive social clubs. One couple arrived very early, and in ahghting from the vehicle the gentleman slip- ped and ripped his trousers in a very noticeable manner. His wife hurried him into the '1adies' retiring room"
 Owing to their early arrival, there wxs no one in this room but the maid, who was well supplied with needle. thread, buttons, etc., for emergencies. The wife placed her husband behind a screen; he passed his trousers over to her, and she handed them to the maid for repairs.
 Before the trousers had been nend- ed number of women were trying to get into the room, and the wife was trying to hold them out At last she turned in despair to a door just back of her husband, pulled it open, showed him through and slammed the door. The husband pounded on the door and yelled, ''For goodness sake, let ms inI I am in the bal1room!"

Jean Starr Untermeyer seems to have solved admirably the problem of the wife and mother engaged in the arts. She specialiZes on being a good mother and her friends say that she is a model housekeeper. but the world at large knows her for her two vol unes of poetry, Growing Pains and Dreams Out of Darkness"
 Mrs. Untermeyer, who is native of Zanesvil1e, O., is the wife of Louis Untermeyer, the well known poet and critic. She assists him in his liter ary work as the acknowled dgements in the prefaces of MT. Untermeyer's books show. And with all thhese ac- tiv1ties Mrs. Untermeyer has the add ed distinction of being an accom- phshed musician. She sings, plays the piano and even composes music.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Appendicitis

My little boy 20 months old had an attack of appendicitis. Could you sug- gest something else than operation? :? He has been healthy otherwise I nursed him until he vas a year old. What causes appendicitis? Someone wanted to tell me that it was not pos srble for child of his age to have an attack like that
 Answer-Your doctor must know best To prescribe such case is not for me. Like any other tissue of the body the appendix may be in1amed. Yes, a skfnfuI surgeon may operate practically from birth That pre-em- inent surgeon, Dr. William T. Bull, took DO chances. He removed the appendix Of his own six-days old
