SCARCITY OF GRID MEN
Harvard Scout Sees Physical DeterlO-
 ration I'm Young Men

ration In Young Men
 Vigorous language, but vigorous in way different from that which most athletic coaches by many people are supposed habitually to follow, was used few days ago by James T. Knox, the Harvard football strategist and scout. He expressed himself as deeply troubled by a change recently seen by him in the boys that enter college.
 "As I look over the college cam puses, these days" he said Il see boys with spindle legs and hollow chests who have replaced the sturdy youths of few years ago." This change he ascribed to the arrival of younger gen eration that thinks only the frivolous things of life worth while." Coming then to definite things, Mir. Knox put his strongest condemnation on motor cars and "jazz parties as having the most deplorable effects on boys ap- preaching and in the college, and he advised fathers to see to 1t that their sons were not thus injured.
 Again, it will be observed, the faults of the younger generation were laid, at least by implica tion, on the shoulders of the older, and that is exactly where the responsibility lies for the much criticised conduct of today's boys and girls, They do only what their parents let them cd, or, if the parents claim inability to control them, at the same time they confess their own inferiority to their own parents and grandparents, who found little difficulty in ket ping A tight rein on their offspring.

My NeighborSays

Do not keep pineapple in the ice chest where other foods are stored. The food will absorb the odor of the pineapple.
 The chief nutrients in fruits are their carbohydrates. In very ripe fruits the carbohydrates take the form of various sugars known as grape sugar, cane sugar, and fruit sugar.
 Unripe fruits contain a great deal of starch.
 Some fruits, such as oranges and lem- ons, contain a high percentage of citric acid.
 Most fruits, large and small, contain also mineral salts, lime, iron and phos- plates.
 Plums, raspberries, and peaches have low sugar content.
 Intelligently used and cooked, fruit is very necessary to the properly balanced diet.
 Stewed fruit should be cooked slowly without sugar.
 Oil paintings may be cleaned and made bright again by wiping them care fully with a wool cloth which has been moistened with olive oil.

 He can talk on any subject, while I sit around like a dumb bell. If I only had a

Certainly, nothing else in the world is so boring as the suited efforts of people who talk to you as if they were discours- ing from platform. I once knew. woman who handed out this particular brand of canned conversation. She had studied up about the Lake Poets, and two minutes after you had met her, by hook or crook, she would drag in her topic and deliver lecture upon it that reduced everybody within ear-shot to tears.N

Answer-You certainly are, Miss Solomon. Monsieur Beaucaire said that every mans ideal woman was one who was snow and ice to all the world. but fire to him. That holds even in an engagement.

The best sport I ever knew was a woman married to a drunkard, who would go down to the gutter and bring him home with her. and would put him to bed andlput iced cloths on his head without ever uttering a reproach. ''I took the chance" she used to say. q knew he was a drunkard when I mar ried him." DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Dorothy Dix-My fiance is very affectionate and demonstrative, and al- though I love him very much I never show that I do. believe that too many kisses before marriage will mean no more kisses after marriage. I am afraid that before long we will both be tired of so much love and romance. Don't you think am right?

Answer-Absolutely nothing. That sort of a woman is hopeless. l have seen them in police courts drag their ragged shawls across their bruised breasts where they have been beaten by brutes of husbands, and lie about having fallen over a chair and hurt themselves.

is that they have neither the cour- age to fight nor to endure. hold that only two courses are open to woman. One is to get up and leave a bad husband, and the other is, if she elects to stick to him, to be good sport and take her punishment without bowling about it.
 believe that if a man has got par ticle of affection for his wife that she can come nearer to flaming it into g flame by showing some spirit and inde pendence than she can by tamely sub hitting to ill treatment, for we all not only instinctively despise those who lei us trample upon them, but we come tt hate those whom we wrong. We car forgive those who injure us, but VI never forgive the people we injure.
 If a husband cares for his wife, he will reform rather than lose her. If he doesn't care for her, and his -neglects and insults are only the expression of his dislike toward her, she is a crazy creature to hang on to him, and it is the. part of wisdom for her to go away where she will not be tortured daily with seeing his misconduct. Her only chance of peace and happiness is for her to put him out of her life.
 If she would rather stay with him and be kicked about like dog, then she should be fair enough to play the game and let him go his way unmolested.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-27

As regards the domestic brand of kisses, my own theory is that it is a mistake to make kissing as much a part of the daily routine as wash ing your face or eating your cereal. It is because husbands and wives are expected to kiss when they part and when they meet that conjugal kisses have no flavor. Better one kiss a year, full of passion and love, than 365 pecks of duty on the cheek.

Answer-I do not believe that any school of correspondence can teach you the art of conversation, nor can any book be handy man. uaI of what to say and how to say it. because all good talk has to be spontaneous = something tn t springs to the lips at the minute. You cannot even think out what you are going to say to people, be- cause everything depends on the time and place and circumstances.

It is the same way about memor- izing jokes. You have heard people repeat the witticisms they had culled out of the funny papers, and you have seen how flat they fall. You are no more at home, and look no more natural in other peoples thoughts and other peoples jokes than you would be in borrowed clothes.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-27

It is a great talent to be a gifted
 listener. Cultivate that instead of
 trying to acquire the art of conver-
 sation, which is greatly overdone,
 anyway. DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Miss Dix-I have two friends, both in their twenties. The husband professes to love his wife, yet he goes out nearly every night and leaves her alone, frankly admitting that he amuses himself with other women; that he drinks and gambles. The wife is crazily in love with her husband. She keeps his house beautifully and does everything to make him comfortable. She also is in business, and when her husband has wasted his money on his dissipations she helps him out with her salary.
 They have frightful scenes, for when he comes home at 2 80 in the morning the wife greets him with little cave woman stuff. It does not good. He goes his own way, regardless of her feel ings, trampling upon her bleeding heart and literally killing her. and yet she stays on. What Is the good? And can anything be done for her?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-27

To be fluent talker is gift of the gods. You have either got the knack of it or you haven't got it, and that is all there is to 1t. But you make mistake in yearning to be a conversationalist in a world that is overfull of people enam- ored of the sound of their own voices. What there is a great and crying need for is not more spellbinders, but more silent people.

You think you bore people by not talking. Believe me, you are giving them the time of their lives, be- cause you probably are the first per son they ever met who didn't inter rupt their monologues by foolish chatter. Ninety-nine people out of hundred are human photographs that never run down, and when they find an individual like you, who
 just sits still and listens, they grap- pie her to them with hooks of steel.
