NEW YORK. Feb. 4.-The major
league schedule makers have COM
pleted tentative draft Of the 1927

ranged it, the baseball season will

Capital on the opening day. The
arrangement OF dates will be sub.
mitted to the two leagues at their

agreed upon by the schedule max
ers is usually a formality.

FOREMAN OWES
SMITH MUCH

Much credit for Al Foreman's
rapid rise during the past six
months is. due to Ben Smith, vet
eran trainer, who is handling the
local featherweight.
Ben took charge of Foreman for
the bout with Goldie Ahearn. AL
was at his best in this fight, scor-
ing that thrilling one round knock
out. Since then Ben has trained
Foreman for his fights in Phila-
delphia in which he scored three
straight victories over leading
scrappers.
Smith has started training Al
for his coming bout before members
of the Arcadia Sporting Club.
March s: Foreman will probably
beN matched with either Joe Lynch.
former bantamweight champion of
the world. or Johnny Leonard, a
leading JUNO. lightweight.
That means that Al will be
facing a formidable opponent.
Lynch has been winning from
leading featherweights since
losing his crown and Leonard
has beaten most cOntenders.
There is unusual interest In this
match. 1t is the first big bout the
city has had since Honey Boy
Finnegan made his splash in big
time company at the Auditorium a
year ago against Johnny Dundee.
This match, has been booked to
stimulate a membership campaign
being conducted by frankie Mann,
president of the Arcadia Club Only
those who make application 90
days before the fight will be
eligible to see the match. There
will be no charge for enrolling on
the clubs roster. The first 1000
to enroll will see the fight. After
that number has been signed the
books will be closed as the clubs
auditorium will only accommodate
$500 and there are already 500
members.

Braves to Ebbets Field for the

The schedule was drafted after a
conference lasting three and half
days. The job was easier than it
was last year when the leagues ex-
perimented with a shorter playing
season. The schedule makers were
not bound by any special closing
date this year. Being agreed that
the shorter season was a failure,
both leagues abandoned it, and left
the schedule makers to their own
devices.
The opening dates follow:

Dear Miss Leeds: 1 am Is years old
and feet 312 inches tall. l eat plenty
of nourishing foods, but I stay thin.
have had a physical examination,
but l seem to be in good condition.
How can 1 gain and what should l
weight? MISS CURLY HEAD.
7 Answer-You should weigh between
rs and 119 pounds. Food is not the
only factor in gaining weight. Be sure
to get 10 hours of sleep every night.
Nervousness often keeps girls thin.
Cultivate poise and a calm. cheerful
disposition. Do not have too many
social engagements or attempt to
carry too much work at school. Girls
of your type should avoid physical
and mental strain and worry. Be out
doors in the fresh air at least two
hours day. When the Summer
holidays come take an outdoor vaca-
ton at camp or be in the open as
much as you can. Drink a quart of
milk every day My leaflet on How
to Gain Weight" gives other diet sug-
gestions. Please send stamped, self

Face Wells.
Dear Miss Leeds: Do you think that
the kindly face veil will ever return?
1t was so nice to cover up rough skins,
overdoses of powder and wrinkles. 1t
was a protection for the skin, too. A
person hates to be the only one with
veil on, but as one gets older the
complexion does need a little covering.
JUDITH.
Answer-Fashions come and go in
cycles, and so / would not be surprised
if the face veil returned in time. If
you look better with one on. wear it by
all means, and you may thereby en-
courage others to do likewise. You
will thus be doing your bit to bring
back the fashion. a light brown or
tan veil is becoming to mature faces
that have begun to show wrinkles.

ufacturers of soap, harness, household
goods, clothing, and about everything
else one can think of. have used with

good American business practice. Let's
adopt it for the propagation of the pc
riodic health test idea.
For instance, here's a solid, scien-
tific health fact. and it can do nobody
any harm to know it. An adult in
normal health can hold his breath
40 seconds without preparation, and
perhaps 50 or so seconds if he pre-.
pares for it in advance. But if he
finds he can't last the 40 seconds with
out taking breath, he certainly needs
medical advice. If an adult can hold
his breath only 80 or 20 seconds, he is
not necessarily a seriously sick man,
but he does unquestionably need med
ical attention. He may not require
any treatment, but he should by all
means find out why his margin of
oXyGenation is so low It is Just as
significant as an unexplained loss Of
weight or an insidiously increa sing
puffiness or breathlessness or moder-
ate eXertiOn is. Any one who can't
hold his breath 40 seconds should take
immediate steps to find out why.

Hitting When They're Down.

The more I study ways of health
and means of imparting knowledge of
hygiene the more am | convinced that
we must not only catch them early
but hit EN- when they are down, If we
mean to get people into the periodic
health examination habit.
We doctors are pretty good eX-
amples of the sort of indifference that
must be overcome. Even while we
are urging on the general public the
wisdom of a periodic health examina-
ton we seldom consider undergoing
such examination Ourselves-that is,
we do not bother to do so until some
impairment of health becomes so mani
fest that we get little anxious or
scared. so unpopular is the idea of a
periodic health examination with the
great body of the medical profession
that it became news when a group of
doctors in Brooklyn actually had
themselves examined whether they
needed it or not.
We must go at this thing from an
other angle. AS long as people or doc
tors think they are fairly we'll they are
simply. not going to bother with
periodic health examination, much less
pay for it, l put it to you. doctor or
lay man, if you are perfectly well, isn't
it foolish, downright morbid and eX-
traVagant, for you to go through any
such examination? | think so. I'd
hate like sin to squander an hour or
two of my time and worse still pay
$40 or $50 for any such monkeyshines'
l am sure. But let me get little pain.
physical or mental, or a little scare OF
any kind about my health, and then,
/ fancy, you could persuade me readily,
enough to blow a 10 spot for some
expert assurance. l believe l am not
different from the general run of folks
about this
So, lads, hear my plea, If you are

in a different way. We must get them

little doubtful about their health

Constipation.

OUuStlpdOIUH'
OF all the ills that man is heir to
constipation is probably the most
prevalent.
This is surely a most unnecessary
condition. A proper diet of whole
some foods should correct this con-
dition. A wholesome diet includes
whole grains in cereals and breads,
plenty of fruit and vegetables and
plenty of drinking water This
regime should be effective in keeping
the body we'll regulated. The sys-
tenn will then be cleansed of all waste
poisons and good health will follow.
Constipation is one of the great
causes of misery. 1t leads to head
aches. indigestion, rheumatism" and
various other ills.
In very rare cases a constipated
condition is the result of some bodily
defect. But the great majority of
cases of constipation are due to
wrong eating.
1t may be that the victim has
what is called a greedy colon. Extra
fiber in the food is necessary to in
sure complete elimination.
Food is the natural laxative, and
proper laxative diet and plenty of
drinking water will cure nearly all
cases of constipation.
However. attention must be paid
to regularity. After breakfast and
before bedtime should be the schedule.
Children. from babyhood, should be
trained in regularity.
Regularity of meal time is also a
help. Chewing the food thoroughly
is required.
The whole grains in both cereals
and breads are better than the re-
fined products, because of their
fiber as well as their minerals and
vitamins.
A tablespoonful or two of bran
added to oatmeal or other cereals is

Answer-To get speedy results you
should continue with the dieting as
we'll as the exercise. Here are some
suggestions: % Lie down on your
back, raise legs and hips upward and
do the inverted bicycle exercise, that
is, kick upward with each leg alter
nately AS though riding a bicycle.
(2) Stand erect with feet together and
arms hanging at sides. Do some
vigorous stationary running, bending

Aut keeping your toes on the ground.

shaking. (3) DO the same exercise,
but bend knees high and raise feet
from the ground. Stay in the same
spot, however. (4) Crouch down with
knees bent and palms on the ground.

Well, I am sorry if l had any hard

something awful, on account OF Joan

had such high ideals, but | did not
know she had been living in the Latin

from some place, you have not left it
much.
This Mary is Mary Brown, who went
to school with joan and I guess she
did not learn enough in school and so
she went to Paris, and l do not know
what all she learned over there, but |
will bet she taught them something,
all right.
She arrived in town this afternoon
and Joan met her at the station and
brought her out here to stay until
train time at IL o'clock and when
came home after work 1 was thinking

glasses and I'll let you sample some

such an occasion" and so we spent
one large evening. and I guess that

HOME NOTES

Some people call them "thimbles, !"
these tiny houses from the Cape Cod
country. 1t is an intriguing name.
We like it. Thimbles are usually

acteristically entirely of weathered
shingles, with substantial chimneys,
central doorways and symmetrically
placed windows.
One can think of many ways in
which the thimble design could be
useful and ornamental in conjunction
with large house. A garage might
be copied after thimble, or a guest
house, a playhouse for the children
perhaps, or even a general workshop
for the family. The design might
also inspire very tiny Summer cot
tage.
TO be at it's best. a thimble ought
really to be shaded by an elm tree,
and it should be covered with vines,
morning glories preferred.
