EATING
CHAMPION WILL
NOT VISIT u. S.

George Leader, the 23S-pound eating
contest champion of Middlesborough,
has declined an invitation to visit the
United States and take part in a world s
championship event. Pressure of busi-
ness in this line at home is the reason,
he says.

explained, "and 1 want to get those
over before 1 consider any more.
Leader has won all 13 matches in
which he has been engaged in the past
few years. He will be heavily handi-
capped in his next match by having to
eat pound of broiled ham and a dozen
eggs before his opponent starts. Never
theless, he is confident of winning.
In easily winning his last match, in
which his opponent retired after three
pounds of ham and forty eggs had been
consumed, Leader gave an exhibition OF
whats a really good eater can do. He
dispatched the 10 eggs that were left
and completed his feast with steak and
kidney pudding and cream cakes.

The bob haired bandit and other types
of the woman criminal who have been

desire to develop family of lady birds
which will withstand the English WIN

Joseph Conrad may have been very
heroic figure to millions of readers who
never saw him, but he was an eccentric
genius who bored holes in the table
cloth with cigarettes and often insisted
on writing in the bath room.
Mrs. Conrad's "Joseph Conrad AS I
Knew Him" makes her late husband
appear quite unlike the distant, un
approachable figure popular reports
have made him. He had toothache very
frequently and had to be supplied with
hot water bags and coddled just as
millions of other men with the same
ailment. sag

trial with Conrad His steam got low
toward the end, and it was then that
Mrs. Conrad had to guard the novelist
with great care against all intruders
and humor him in any whim which
struck him.
Mrs. Conrads book makes it clear
that the public is under great obliga-
tions to her for the part she played in
smoothing the path of the great novel
ist, who was seldom in good health and
very dependent upon the motherfng his
wife gave him when he was writing
under great physical and mental stress.
