BY MIMI.

| Now we've all been told often
| enough that man who has no man
! friends bears watching.
| We know that the boy who is well
liked by his pals is a pretty sure bet.
usually, for husband. If he has
| real chums who stick by him there
must be something worth while and
| fine in him.
Men don't like other men who are
lcontemptible and base. as a rule. They
| like them for the enduring qualities
which we women sometimes overlook
in our eagerness for a good dresser,
a beautiful dancer. etc.
| However, the mere fact that a man
| Is well Liked by other men isn't suf-
ficient proof that he will make a good
| husband.
| For there is such thing as a mans
mana fellow who understands his
| own sex, who knows how to treat
| them, Is just, merciful and reasona-
BILE with them-vet has no understand
ling or sympathy for the fairer sex.
| Such a man is Ian-big, tolerant,
honest, who with his sturdy Scotch
accent, and his broad, sturdy shoul-
ders, has attracted lots of girls in his
| time. Cynthia, in fact, fell SO muck
in love with him that she decided
marriage was the only thing.
Various wise friends protested that
she didn't know much about his char
acter. but she came back with the
assurance that every one of his man
! friends adored hin-said he was the
best and truest pal in the world. With
a recommendation like that. how could
! he fail to be satisfactory in every
way?
| Truly she seemed to be right. Every
man who had ever known him had
a word Of praise for the big Scotsman.
Yet Ian was a bad sort to marry
! that is, he was lad for the sensitive
plant Cynthia happened to be. He
had no conception Of women's finer
feelings, no understanding, no toll
erance for their petty deceits and
whims and vanities.
He was big and blunt and honest
The first time he found Cynthia in
some white fib about a man she used
to know Ian went into a red rage
about it for days.
! She didn't understand this great,
clustering fellow, couldn't think why
she had made such a mistake in pick
ing him out.
but never sweet to her. He didn't
sense the lack she felt in his actions
| toward her.
| He was never tender-that was not
| his way-never made her pretty
speeches-he didn't think they were
| necessary.
! He made her very unhappy, although
he loved her dearly. All because his
long association with men. and with
no one else. had untitled him for the
role of loving. thoughtful husband or
| sweetheart.
The girl who marries a thorough
mans man takes a chance. She will
have to understand that there are
many of the little things which mean
so much to q woman that she will
| have to do without.
| A mans man may be the finest
fellow in the world-but he may not
make the most sympathetic husband.

Washing Away.

Sable Island, which belongs to Can
ada and stands far out in the Atlantic.
is a sand bank that stands well ABOVE
the ocean level and is not sinking but
Is RAPIDLY. wearing away. When nrst
discovered, three centuries ago, IL was
very much larger. 1t Is comPuteo
that in a few thousand years Sable
Island will disappear completely,
ploughed away by wind and wave.
HelgOland, SO strategically locateo'
that Germany possesses. IS also
wearing away, and the swift channe!
currents are washing the cliffs OF
chalk of England and France and
pulling them down. In time England
and France will be so much farther
off that everybody in Europe and
America. in the year 1000, will not be
quite SO anxious to try to swim the
channel.
Now. what do you know about that?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
I. Insulation is the protection Of an
electric current by surrounding it with
non-conductive substances.
2. Short circuit is an escape of
electrical current before it reaches its
proper destination.
3. 1t is dangerous to telephone in
an electric storm, especially in the
country and suburbs. but in a city
where wires are all. or practically all,
underground the danger is negligible.
4. A feather bed is probably slight
protection from electricity, but as any
one inside house, with the doors and
windows closed, is personally safe.
hiding the head under pillows is a
foolish procedure.
5. Lightning does not necessarily
strike the earth.
6. 1t is decidedly dangerous to
stand under tree in an electric
storm, as electricity often skins down
the trunks of trees or knocks trees
over. The open is preferable. but the
best refuge Is a house or cave.

to be even better liked than those of
patent leather or suede. One pair OF
slippers of this ebony kid is decorated
with gray shark skin. Sometimes
there is a suggestion of champagne or
beige about the black shoe, even If it
Is nothing more than the facing of the
neat little leather bow. But this note
of beige or of gray should give the
keynote for the stocking color. II
there Is anything gray about the shoe,
then don't make the mistake of wear
ing flesh or beige or brown stockings.
Black pin seal is another leather that
is favored by some of the smart shoe
men. Black lizard scrolls and straps
adorn a -air of black patent leather
afternoon shoes, and black suede has
sabot straps of black lizard calf.
Lizard calf is, of course, onlv the
term used by honest shoe dealers to
let you know that the leather Is not
real lizard. but calf that has been so
stamped as to initiate 1t. The sabOt
strap, you may or may not know. Is
the strap that starts from the sole Of
the shoe below the arch and forms a
sort of girdle to the entire foot, like
the leather straps found on many of
folk in France. 1t has a tendency to
make the foot look shorter. A black
satin evening slipper has sabot strap
of this sort of black MORE, fastened
together at the toe with little silk
cord.
So, you see, there Is nothing essen
TALLY serviceable about these new
black shoes. The fact is that for the
rougher sort Of wear women still pre-
fer shoes of some shade of brown,
since they are less inclined to show
the dust and marks left by spattering
of mud than the finer sort of black
shoes.

"Win you kindly help me-" asks
Mrs r. J.B. "I do not understand
about calories and how to figure OUT
lust how many calories are needed
for each member of my family.
A calorie IS a measure OF heat. In
dietetics a calorie is the amount or
heat required to raise one pound OF
water approximately four degrees
Fahrenheit. To find out the calorle
value of a food it is placed in an IN
vention called the bomb cahonleter
and burned. The number of degrees
of heat resulting is called the calorle
value of food. 1t has been assumeT
that when food is burned" In the
bOdy the same amount of energy or
fuel value will be furnished for the
eaters use as the food furnished When
burned in the bomb caliometer.
This theory has many pitfalls. Re-
cause food burned in a callometer
yields so many heat units is no sign
that the same amount OF food VII!
positively yield the same amount OF
fuel value In every mans body. 1t
is nossible that the food will not be
completely burned" by Joe Brown
because of his individual digestion and
assimilative apparatus when the food
would be completely burned in Sam
Smiths body.
A calorie Is simply a measuring
unit. 1t is not an ingredient or an
element in food.
1t takes much more Of one kind OF
food than it does of another to pro
duce this calorie unit of heat. For
instance. a medium size slice of bread
Yields 100 calories. A pound and
half of lettuce yields 100 calories.
The high -caloried foods are the fats.
the starch and sugar foods.
Now a man, according to his weight,
could eat the approximate number OF
calories supplied from starch, sugar.
fat and protein, and still be starving
his body for essential elements. He
could figure out his energy require
ment for his weight, age and occupa-
ton and pour the required number Of
calories into his body and still fall
sick Of some deficiency disease. It
has only been within the last dozen
years that students Of nutrition have
positively proved that unless the es-
sential vitamins are present in food
health cannot be maintained.

No, sir, Happy Jack hadn't stored

sorely puzzled.
He kept out of sight behind a tree,

that hollow tree trunk. Pretty soon
back came Happy Jack with a great
big hickory nut in his teeth. He dis

Presently he reappeared. He no

Mexico Fears Fight For Contested Seats May Assume Dangerous
 Proportions.

Mexico City, Aug. 16 P)-Federal troops who are guarding the cham Der of deputies to prevent fighting between rival claimants to seats, have been reinforced by policemen and additional soldiers. It is said that there has been an increase in the ugly feeling of the opposing po- litical factions over the contests in the various congressional districts for seats voted for in the elections held July 4.
 The electoral college began its final sessions today to decide the contests. Large numbers of politi- clans swarm in and around the chamber building. Most of them customarily carry pistols, and there for the guard of military and po- lice are on duty to quell and battles that may be begun.
 The labor and socialist groups seemingly are certain to control a majority of the seats in the cham Der, but the opposition groups are seeking to reduce this majority by decisions of the electoral college on contested returns.

IN. Y..HEARS SMITH
 MAY NOT ACCEPT
Possibility of His Refusal to Run
 StirS Political Talk

New York, Aug. 16 P-Politics is warming up in the hot weather season with approach of the Mo- vember elections.
 A demand that the Anti-Saloon league be prosecuted, claims that a satisfactory number of dry candi- dates won in the primaries, claims that the republicans will lose senate control this year, and a declaration by Governor Smith that he Is re- luctant to wear himself out with an- other term as governor were among weekend developments.
 Representative George H. link ham, Massachusetts republican. de- manded in letter to Attorney Gen eral Sargent, made public in Wash ington yesterday, that the Anti Saloon league be prosecuted under the corrupt practices act.
 Claiming that this ecclesiastical political organization has "set aside one of the great constitutional guar antees of American freedom and liberty" the separation of church and state, MT. Tinkham asks prose- cution of the league for failure to report political receipts and ex- penditures, or for falsely reporting there were none, and of league of- ficers for perjury.
 On the other hand "the vets are sending more money, building a stronger organization, and spread ing more propaganda than ever be- fore" in the view of Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon league, in a Washing clared primary returns from 25 states showed there was no reaction against prohibition. On the con- trary, he claimed that 75 per cent of congressman and so per cent of senators nominated in states where it is tantamount to election were drys.
 The democratic national commit tee rallied President Coolidge on the s55, 100000 budget increase for next year, after a s470,SS6,6S1 increase this year. First the bait was "ad- ministrative economy" said a Wash ington statement. Appropriation kept on growing. The bait was then changed to constructive economy A very wiggly worm that takes on many shapes and colors." |
 Although the president has ad- vised that state and municipal ex- penses be cut down, it was pointed out. expenditures for the District of Columbia, administered by appoin- tees of MT. Coolidge are increasing.
 Senator Peter G. Gerry. chairman of the democratic national com- mittee, is sure his party will con-
