in stature but long on scoring. He
has improved greatly since last
year and is hard man for any
team to stop. His great height en-
ables him to get many shots
around the. basket, but he does
not stop there. He sinks them
from the middle of the floor in
deadly fashion. The bean pole Is
the ace Of the attack.
Next in point Of effectiveness in
adding up the points is the floor

e. Chapman, at forward, comes
next. Overman, the other for

Kilgore, at back guard, is play

ton have not mattered so much.
A real test of the teams
strength comes tonight in the Mar

After years of observation l am
convinced that women, when they
look in mirrors, don't ever really see
themselves. I suppose they see a
reflection that must give them some
sort Of satisfaction. but they see only
what they want to see and always
hold their heads at what they have
subconsciously decided to be the most
effective angle. This Is certainly true
as far as I am concerned, for l know

there my interest stops. l don't go

sciously l don't want to.
When I'm trying on u hat, for in

my expression that 1 am charmed
with her Offering, hands me a mirror.
1 am always slightly startled to see
the back of my head. Never having
cut my hair, the hat invariably takes
on an unbecoming bulge, and no
amount of pulling and patting will
make it look like the sleek little well
fitting hats around me. You see,

friend calls my attention to the fact

SpeIlen, Spilman, SpiIlers.
RACIAL ORiGIN-irish.
SOURCE-A given name.

The Gaelic form Of this family name
is "O'Speilain."
So far as Is known, II is one of
those Irish family names which has
passed over into English without any
variation built up upon it's meaning
nunciation.
The clan or sect which bore this
name was founded, by chieftain
named "Speilan," who came of the
same stock as those who founded the
lines OF the Breslins and the Fogartys
"Speilan" was herd" the reference
being not to a herd of cattle or ami
mails. but to the one who took care of
and was responsible for the herd. It
is of incidental interest to note that In
modern times we have switched
around the meaning of this English
word herd" and today it is more
often used to designate the/animals
than the man.
The variations Spillane and Spillain
give you a better idea of the true
Gaelic pronunciation of this family
name than do such forms as Spellan
and Speilan. Spilman and Spillers. of
course, are very wide variations fror
the original. and in some instances
they come from other sources than
"O'Speilain."

Nicely Dressed Hair.

In these days Of literally thousands
q styles of doing the hair, there is no
excuse for any one going about with
a Straggly, badly arranged "colffure.' =
More and more. women are cutting
their hair; the best beauty shops in
every city say that the craze is spread
ing, and that the only customers who
are wearing long hair are the very
young girls just out ofa bobbed child
hood. And these, after Il year or 50 OF
doing up their hair. come back TO be
shorn.
The best Of the many good things
that can be said about short hair is
that It can be kept neat with no
trouble at ALL and that the wispiest
sort can be made 10 lie fat and smooth.
If the hair is short enough For thin
faces and heads, I'd suggest the very
newest style of all, the ''EtOn Crop"
twere developing a new hairdressing
language since the first bob came in.
and Etun Crop is its latest addition).
The hair is parted on one side, cut off
at the sides about half way up the
ear. and gradually sloped to a point
fl the back, the shinEle being a very
decided one. 1t looks like a boys
head when he needs a hair cut badly!
There's another variety, cut the same
but brushed back behind the ears,
which suits a rather fuller face and
is enchanting with round cheeks and
q pointed chin.
The greatest advantage of the bob
ST shingle is that long, wispy hairs
growing down the neck can be shaved
off. Even if clippers are used it is
all right, the hairs won't come in
either Stubhier or thicker though
some hair dressers will tell you so.
And fine soft hair that won't stay in
place even with a net can be parted
in the middle or slightly to the side

A Pleasant Silence.

Constantly the question is being
asked:
How may / avoid the awkward si-
lences that always seem to fall be
tween me and my escort, whoever he
may be? II seems that whenever ] go
out | can chatter along for brief
space of time; then, unless my escort
shows definite signs of helping me,
! my nerve fails and fall into "A misera
bic strained silence. hoping desperate
ly for an inspiration as TO what to say
next?
What can ] do to draw my boy
friends out SO that they will talk
easily and naturally with me? How
can | insure myself against those
awful silent spells?'
All the perplexed maidens who ask
| this question seem to feel it is due to
some fault Of theirs that the boys
! don't indulge in more verbal fireworks.
Consequently they make themselves
twice as Self-conScious and nervous as
they ought to be-every date becomes
an ordeal to be struggled through
braveIy
Their nervousness communicates IT
self to their swains, and the boys won
der what ails these girls--seem to be
on edge about something all the time.
And, of course, the girl who makes
her boy friend feel i'll at ease and un-
comfortable isn't destined to he a riot
in a social way.
Now the first thing she wants to get
out of her head is that mans silence
| is necessarily AN Indication of bore
dom.
Think over all the boys you know
how many of them chatter as inces-
sanity and with as great enjoyment as
do your girl chums? Not one, III bet.
Men aren't such say gabbers as we
women. They allow themselves more
time for breathing and thinking.
That's a fact.
After they've talked over the
weather and the office they stop for q
few minutes TO think things over.
They haven't the knack Of ram
bling on and on. switching from one
topic TO the other without a stop.
\ So they're apt to sit quietly for q
while, just thinking, while the ex-
perienced girl fidgets and stammers
and strives to start conversation
again.
Don't be 50 afraid OF silences girls
II your man doesn't seem inclined to
speak. then don't founder about look
ing for a conversational opening. Just
sit tight, and don't talk yourself. un-
less you have something you really
want to say.
III you're Il taikative person to whom
n flow OF language is natural. by all
means chatter-he'n listen even if he
doesn't contribute anything himself
II you'd rather be quiet, just pipe
down when there's Il silence.
Silence can be made a pleasant and
companionable thing. When two
young people, after a brief chat, sit
quietly together-neither making any
great effort To keep up u lively fire Of
words. both of them their own natu-
raj selves. they may make more rapid
strides in their friendship than the
boys and girls who talk together for
hours.
Remember il is up to you whether
the pause shall be an awkward or
pleasant one. The minute You feel
yourself getting uneasy and straining
for something to say, pull yourself up
short. Let there be Il silence and
pleasant one. until one ur the other
of you is ready to say something.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The active, growing nursing baby
begins to show a dissatisfaction with
Just plain milk and nothing else when
it is about or months old. Instead
of worrying that her milk is INSULT
cient to nourish the baby and think
ing seriously Of weaving, the mother
should add other foods to the baby's
menu and in this way maks UP his
lack.
Orange juice comes first on the list
and may have been on the baby's diet
list from the time he was 3 or
months of age. And now come cereals.
One or two tablespoons of we'll cooked
cereal will furnish the baby with a
lot Of extra nourishment and also
much necessary bulk. If the cereals
chosen are whole wheat. oatmeal, bar
ley or unhulled rice they give in ad
dition to their bulk many valuable
minerals and vitamins, all necessary
to the baby'S growth at this time.
Unless the cereal is a fine milled
one, like frnia, it should be cooded
for at least four hours in one quart Of
water to one-half cup of cereal. Put
on to boil over the fire and when boil
ing briskly put in a double boiler, or
overnight in the firelesS cooker, and
cook until done. For the baby of less
than 16 months of age the cereal
should be strained before serving.
Ii the baby refuses to eat his first
spoonful of cereal, as so many of
them do, don't grow excited and an
CRY about it. Wipe off his mouth hold
ing his nose. until he swallows it. If
he spits it up, do this again. Shortly
he viii be convinced that mutiny is
useless and the cereal will stay put.
Never give more than one teaspoonful
of any kind regularly for at least
three days and then cautiously in
crease the amount.
Cereal feelings are being used with
success for those babies who have
difficulty in keeping down any sort
of liquid feeding. Some babies have
stomach muscles which immediately
reject liquid food when it is in the
process of digestion For these babies
cereals are lifesaver, for the thick
bulk OF the cereal, mixed with powder.

Home-cooked cereals are better than
the ready-cooked kind for the small
child. A tablespoon of home-cooked
cereal will contain greater amount
of nutrition than the same amount
of any package brand. When the
child is older his diet may be varied
by the use of all types of cereal, but
for the baby the home-cooked kinds
are best.

Too Nice.

Re not too nice about the children.
They are the products of nature, and
nature Is q great artist. a tremendous
creator, and never nice. She is too
big, too grand, too tolerant to be
nice. Always she leaves little room
for waste, for time, for individual
growth. There are dead leaves under
the brambles; they comfort the plants
in the cold Winter nights and feed
them In the damp days of Summer.
Not too nice is natures garden. not
too clean, not sterilized ever, but loose
and easy and generous and steadfast
to the law, underneath.
When a little boy plays he soils his
hands and his face and his clothes.
Let him, ii you are wise. DO not
chase him all day with the soap and
washrag. Scrub him before he eats
his meals and let him alone between
times unless he meets with an acct
dent and falls into the puddle or the
howerbed.
His play place will be disurderly-
while he plays. Do not give him q
bewildering amount Of playthings.
One or two at time is Il better way
than opening the closet and telling
him to help himself. Tell him 10 pick
up his things and put them away and
help him by picking up the first one.
If the mother or teacher would re
member to start the job by making the
first move great deal OF the friction
of daily living would be removed. Be
particular but not too particular about
his neatness: not too nice.

FOOD AND HEALTH

| Let no one harbor the impression
\ that simply because we have marvel
ouSly efficient dentists we have always
| been wise in our treatment of the
teeth. In fact, it may almost be said
| that the superskill of these same den
lists has been developed as sequel
of our mistaken ideas or carelessness,
as the case may be. In other words, if
we had in the beginning been careful
to strike at the root of our widespread
tooth trouble, some of our dentists at
least, would now be devoting their
technical skill to other professions.
Arm the children with toothbrushes,
but do not stop there. Get back to the
cause Of the decay and stamp il out.
How? BY the simple method of prop
erly feeding. first the mother during
the prenatal period, and second, the
child.
What shall we feed them? For a
! period of time various bits Of advice
have been proffered to the pregnant
and to the nursing woman about her
diet. One of the most popular of these
had to do with food that would make
milk" Then, as knowledge of nutri-
ton progressed. leaders in the field be-
gan to advise the mother. prospective
and actual, to eat pretty much her nor
NAL diet provided this We're a mixed
diet, containing plenty of milk, fruits
and vegetables.
This was good. but there is still an
other step to take II we are to give
such women the full benefit of what
McCollum calls the newer knowledge
of nutrition" We must tell exactly
what foods to emphasize and give a
few, ut least, OF our reasons for this
emphasis.
Salad plants, cabbage. lettuce. kale.
tomatoes and all greens, as we'll as
lcafy vegetables, spinach, sprouts,
milk and citrus fruits are the chief
foods to emphasize. These insure a
plentiful supply of lime, an element
that Sherman has found TO be sadly
lacking in the average American diet.
When the children have entered this
vale Of tears and tooth decay, mothers
Will be surprised to find how the tend
ency to decay has been nipped in the
bud. 50 to speak. Then it becomes a
far easier matter to plan their diets
so as to build firm, temporary and per-
nanent teeth on the structure already
begun by the mothers careful feeding
of herself during the prenatal period.
The diet program Is still much the
same-milk, green vegetables and
citrus fruits, with judicious additions
of starchy, sugary and fatty foods for
energy and protein foods for body
building purposes.
With a dietary foundation for good
teeth assured, the next care is, of
course, to keep the sound teeth clean
and quickly to repair any slight evi-
dence of decay that may creep in.
But let us not forget that milk and
leafy vegetables and fruit juices are
the best tooth builders in the world
