THIS AND THAT

Eat your hot cakes while they're hot.
Old Time ia still a-fyns:
There'n be new goulash in the pot
And some more batter frying.
Those who imagine men eat pan

Perhaps in days gone by hackers and
other "he-men' confined their con
sumption of hot cakes to Winter We
do not know.
Today, however, no such seasonal
limitation prevails. The ubiquitous
hot cake Is always In season. Drop In
any restaurant in the downtown sec
tion at almost any time of day OF
night and you are apt to find one or
more male beings eating pancakes.
Truly, Time does not wither nof
custom stale, this great American con
lection. To call it other than that
would be to miss its real function, for
in its perfection il goes far beyond
the role of hearty food, which il
might seem to those who have not
deeply considered the matter
The best place to watch the stack

and disappear adown the masculine
oesophagus before the steam is off EN-
is some little hole-in.the- dairy
lunch.
Such a place is sometimes referred
to by its devotees as a dirty spoon.
We need not go into the question OF
derivation. 1t is enough to locate
such a place. for there the investiga
tor is most likely to find the hot cake
at its best.
Having tracked the pancake to its
lair, let lis enter boldly. no matter how

This. then. is where the pancake
flourishes.
Here it is found in it's native state
as rankIy masculine as a stogie. ne

"A mans drink" declares the street

may be true, of course, that certain
unworthy beings partake of this pro
vender who. by all thc rules of mas
culinity, should not. They cannot be
helped. They must he tolerated.
Any one who saunters in, however
with cap we'll pulled down over the
eyes and a certain amount of swag

likely candidate for hot cakes.
When you see him approach the

ders the customer.

roaring through a small. square aper
ture that contains. at intervals. q
hand and a part of an arm.
Few men have ever seen more thar
that in the opening.
There must be a shoulder attached
TO that arm. and man deftly hitchet
TO that shoulder. but we take all thai

features commonly go together. w

The restaurant wise, however, are
not mystified at all. They know that
what the customer said was the fol

AN a frank was what the coun.

hot cake, and the two go on their
way rejoicing. But we are a bit
ahead Of the program.

so fast as all this.
We have to pretend interest in the
world at large, as we wait for the
chef to do his stuff. There are some
places where cakes are laid out on a
marble slab, and made to grow before

BUCOLIC BEATITUDES. Rusticus.
Atlantic Monthly Press.
Jumping the classic wall Of this
title you find yourself at rest, wait.
ing for this new sermon on the mount.
Not a mount" at all. Instead a
garden, or maybe pasture. or poSsi.
bly, the supporting side of the pig sty
or the fence of the hen yard. These
beatitudeS, you see, are of new
kind where the author blesses the
horse and the COW, the pig and the
barnyard fowl. Blesses, twice over.
the dog. And blesses his own good
garden. Delightful stuff out of which
one comes upon many new way of
looking at these familiar friends, so
little counted outside the field of pure
utility. Who, without these leadings,
would ever look upon the pig as the
astonishing companion that he is
a wag. a clown, a fellow of the sharp
est wit. to whom one can talk on a
level of perfect understanding. "An
ear pricks up. roguish eye twinkles
a bit more brightly, and after deli
cately executed pas seul around the
inclosure. he is back once more. de-
mure and attentive" A pig, you see,
more than any other of your animal
friends, looks like so many people
you know. The moment YOU see
new pig you have at once a dozen
names in mind, every one of them fit
ting perfectly" A tasty entertain
ment lies in tracing these likenesses.
Now who, but for "Rusticus," would
think to see in the sad and reminiscent
eyes of the young heifer knee deep
in the grass, the living image of 10,
beloved of Zeus. But there she is,
eternally caught and held in this
placid body, so unlike her light and
winged spirit. To all of these does
Rusticus pay homage in inimitable
| fashion. Il have always felt that
| owe my dog an apology. The bitter
truth isl bought him. Now a dog
should never be purchased, should
never be made the subject of barter
and dickering. A dog may be rescued
from abuse, he may be bestowed and
accepted as a gift, he may be bor-
rowed and never returned, he may be
| found and kept, and, in cases of real
necessity, he may be stolen in a digni
| fed manner; but he should never be
| bought. 1 have heard of men who
make livelihood from the purchase
and sale of sdogs. 1 can conceive of
them as good husbands and kind
| fathers, but they still seem to me in
human monsters engaged in a sinis-
| ter traffic. This gives you a taste
! of the sort of sermon that is done
up in these beatitudes. A little book
| to laugh over and to love. A laugh
| for it's whimsical spirit of fun. Love
| for the genuine feeling that is so
manifest In it, every touch upon the
common animal life that we, as q rule
pass so unregarding.

BROWN AND BOSTON TEAMS WILL
CIACE GAME BY PLAYS INSTEAD
OF TIMING PERIODS WITH WATCH
By HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Football
modcrnists will put the game
through the most interesting expcr-
linen. tomorrow at Providence that
has been tried since the conscrva'
tivcs were forced to accept the for
ward pass. Brown university and
Boston university have been per-
suadcd by a small group of grid
iron radicals to measure their game
by number of plays instead of
timing the periods by the tick of
a watch.
The principal advocate Of the
new plan is Harry 7. Coffin. .
Harvard man from Boston. whp
failed to interest any of the big
three coaches, principally because
the experiment had to be conduct
ed on friendly basis, and the big
three, as well as other big eastern
colleges, have no friendly enemies.
Brown, however, is willing to
play anyone and try anything once
and Boston officials agreed to turn
the game into a laboratory test.
Several prominent members of the
rules committee and n number of
first ranking coaches, who can get
away from their teams, will watch
the experiment.
The idea is this:
Each period will be restricted to
forty plays and they are to count
consccutivcly, ,ex(cpting in Ylscs
where foul has been committed
by the defending team nccessitating
the imposition of penalty. For
instance, if a stay is called because
the offending team was offsidc, the
play will not count against the team
in possession of the ball. If after
four plays the ball goes to the other
side on downs. the play will be num-
bercd five and the tabulation con-
tinucd.
The same rules will prevail as um-
der the watch system of timing.

HEATED BATTLE PROMISED FIGHT
FANS TONIGHT WHEN JOE LAYMAN
and BUS BARRIE MEET AT ARENA

Although these nights are rather
chilly, there is going to Dc plenty
of heat at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club tonight. when Joe
Layman and Bus Barrie get their
ruckus going. Both boys are re-
ported to be in excellent shape for
the affair and each is confident
that he will put the other party
away before the fight is very old.
There were seven knockdowns in
the six rounds these fellows fought
al San Diego several months ago,
and SO big an impression did they
make on the San Diego fans, that
! carloads Of the latter are coming
over sfrom the coast city to see
ionigbt's fight. a telephone mes
sage received here today asked that
arrangements be made to take care
of the San Diego delegation.
Schiff To Referee
Johnny Seliiff, who made such .
good impression here last week, wilt
get rs third man in the ring, and
this assures both scrappcrs an even
break. There have been many
comments heard since last Friday
nights affair, all of them compli-
mcntary to Schiff, though some fans
believe he might have ht the Good
rich Brown fight 20 u little longer.
However, Johnny didn't know how
much time there was left in the
round and Goodrich was helpless,
the referee did the right thing for
the game by stopping the fight
when he did.
Tommy White will have to open
up an work much harder than he
did in his recent fuss with Jimmy
Huff, II he expects to take Bat
tling Paul : measure in the SEM
final event tonight. Paul is the
type of fighter who likes TO keep
busy all the time he is III the ring,
and he believes in mixing il up.
White Has Earmarks
White showed all the carmarks
Of z good man when he was here
previously, but he contcnted him
self with tieing Huff up III knots
and never once did he step out
in the style that he is unqucstion-
ably able to do. Paul is right now
at his best shape and is ready for
the battle of his life. as he realizes
that win over White Will boost
his stock with tile various fight
clubs in Southern California.
Firpo aud Thompson, IN one of
the prcliminarics, give promise of
plenty OF excitement. Firpo is
anxious TO make good showing TO
offset his recent defeat by Young
Jordan. Thompson has not been
seen in action here before and
hopes 10 make such a good impress
sion tonight that he can get a high
e. place ON the card soon.
Monty ilill of this aity, will
make his debut in the other prclim-

battling red head from the border
