Prince Ducks SnOM

Blrchman, England, Dec, 9 P)-- All dressed up in pink hunting cos tunes the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York had a hair-raising ride over the snoWbound Norfolk roads last night 10 the annual hunt ball. The Duchess of York. garbed in ream-colored evening frock, was with Wales and York in the automo- bile, which plunged through drifts and sllidded over ice-covcred stretches. threatening at any mo- mcnt to plunge it's royal occupants into a ditch.
 A number of the guests at the ball made detours of thirty miles to avoid the great piles of snow render ing the roads almost impassa ble. Others, snoWbound, never arrived a. the party.

Your Health
How to Keep It,
Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

l =
Editor journal of the American
Medical Association and Of Hy-
geia, the Health Magazine.
An Investigator named Herxheim-
er found that the hearts of track
athletes exceeded to some extent
| those of normal persons, depending
upon the event trained for. The
hearts OF marathon runners were
larger than those of long distance
runners. the latter greater than
| those of middle distance runners
and the smallest those of sprinters.
Jumping and weight throwing did
not place SO much demand upon the
body that changes OF the heart oc-
CURED, Only the runners were con-
cerned in the Investigations of track
athletics.
Drs. Felix Deutsch and Emil Kauf
examined 301 track athletes, of
whom 10 were champions. In gen
eral. the hearts Of track athletes
were not enlarged over the normal
so much as those of the swimmers,
although definite engagements did
| occur OF all of the track athletes
examined, SIS per cent had consid-
cradle engagements. although the
amount of enlargement was not so
great as that OF the swimmers.
Long and short distance runners
were compared, ard these investi-
| gators were not able to find such
| a definitely increased greater risk OF
| the marathon runners as compared
with the runner of short distances as
Herxheimer found
Only a few women track athletes
were studied, since women have
only recently begun to participate in
this form of activity. The hearts OF
the women We're much less frequent
w enlarged than We're those of the
men. This is explained by the fact
that women track athletes do not
train seriously or to anywhere near
" the same extent as do men, or as
do women swimmers.
Competitive rowing is one OF the
most severe OF sports and few
trainers will undertake to accept
men for training until they have
first been carefully examined by
physicians as to the state OF their
hearts. The German investigators
examined $50 oarsman whose aver
age age was 23.9 years. The longer
the man had been oarsman, tie
greater in general was the enlarge
ment Of the heart On the other
hand, there was not general in
crease in enlargement, since great
deviations were found in individual
cases.

Some bears are quite like human
folk;
They dearly love to play a joke.
old Mother Nature
Berries were ripe. Yes, sir. blue
berries. blackberries and huckleber-
ries were ripe In the Old Pasture.
The news had travelled far. Such
news always does. The Old Pasture
was famous for its berries. All the
bird folk knew of 1t. So, too, did all
the animal folk who were fond of
berries. So the Old Pasture had be-
come a very popular place. 1t had
become too popular to suit Mrs. Coy
ote. At first, she didn't understand
il ALL
What is everybody coming up
here for SO much?" she grumbled to
Old Man Coyote. THE first thing we
know somebody will discover our
new home. l thought the Old Pas
ture was place where people sell
dom came"
Old Man Coyote grinned. ut is
most Of the time" said he, but not
at this time of the year. don't
know of any place anywhere more
popular at this time of year than is
the Old Pasture. l saw Buster Bear
over here early this morning."
You did!" exclaimed Mrs. Coy
ote. Il didn't know he ever left the
Green Forest"
He doesn't very often" replied
Old Man Coyote. excepting when
berries are ripe. You just can't keep
! Buster away from ripe blueberries.
I'm surprised that l haven't seen
Mrs. Buster and her babies. The
youngsters must be big enough by
this time to be eating berries"
well, hope they will stay away"
said Mrs, Coyote GROSSLY. I'VE have
troubles enough as it is. If / should
see one of those little bears, I'd give
: him such a scare that he would new
er want to come into the Old Pas
ture again. No. sir. he'd never want
to come into the Old Pastuse again"
Old Man Coyotes face sobered.
Now, look here, my dear" said he,
don't you go to making any mis-
takes. / can think of lot Of mis-
takes you might makeA but no great
er mistake than trying to scare one
of Buster Bears cubs, if his mother
happens to be anywhere near. You
take my advice and leave those cubs
alone, and be thankful il they leave
you alone"
Mrs. Coyote held her tongue. What
she thought she didn't say. She
changed the subject. But changing
the subject didn't mean changing
her mind. Down inside she was re-
solved that If she found those little
bears, she would give them such a
10 the Old Pasture.
BY and by Old Man Coyote went
off. Mrs. Coyote lay down on the
doorstep of Old Man Coyotes old
home. She always liked to take a
sunbath on that doorstep and that
is what she planned to do now. She
made herself comfortable and then
began to plan what she would do
to those young cubs if she should
run across them. The sun was warm.
She became sleepy. She closed her
eyes drowsily. In two minutes she
was fast asleep. She was asleep and
dreaming that she was chasing great
big Buster Bear out of the Old Pas
ture and that Buster was running as
if his very life depended on his
speed. Mrs. Coyote was having a
