From the standpoint of the fighter
actor we can understand the lure of
the stage or screen. Producers seek
to exploit them and are willing to pay
fabulous sums to those whose names
are before the public. Practically
every one who has accomplished an
unusual feat has been approached by
them. Channel swimmers, flagpole Sit
ters and others have been offered star
ring roles. Noted base ball players
and foot ball luminaries have sue
cumbed to the temptation to reap the
golden harvest.
"Movie producers were surprised when
Col. Lindbergh resisted the lure. They
haven't recovered from the shock yet.
Every prize ring champion since the
days of John L. Sullivan has appeared
on the stage. What they did or how
they performed was of little Importance

BEAUTY CHATS
Glasses of Foods.

Foods, roughly, are divided into four
classes Protein is one. That builds
up the body, replaces tissue, makes one
grow when young. Children need lots
of protein. So do grown people, for
tissues, nerves and muscles are always
breaking down and needing rebuilding.
Their great danger is that, eaten in ex-
cess. they put too much of strain on
the body. The white of egg is almost
pure protein; eggs, milk and cheese are
very rich in this element; peas, beans
and nuts are about the richest in pro-
tein of all vegetables. Meat, of course,
contains protein in large amounts
lean meats, at least--and some fish
and whole meal cereals, which are used
as meat substitutes by the vegetarians.
Fat is another class. 1t gives energy
and heat. Butter, lard, cream, suet,
fat off meats are animal fats; fatty
fishes are mackerel and salmon; vege-
table fats are olive and peanut oil and
the vegetable greases sold for cooking.
Carbohydrates produce heat and
energy in another way. Sugar, bread,
cereals bananas, honey, potatoes, mac
aroni, corn starch-theSe are the prin-
eipal carbohydrates.
Then come the valuable mineral
salts, often called regulating foods.

Buster Brown was now extremely
suspicious of what he thought was
house-a little log house-but which
you and / know was what is called a
"pen trap" He had climbed up on top
of it and accidentally let the door down.
Now, as he sat at safe distance star
ing at it, he began to understand in
small measure what had happened.
"If I had been inside when that door
dropped, I would be a prisoner right
this minute" thought Buster. ut must
be that something like this happened
when that Bobcat was inside. Certainly
he was prisoner. I am growing sus-
picious. Yes, sir, I am growing sus-
picious. I believe that is trap, and
traps are things that / most desire to
keep away from"
Of course, Buster was quite right.
That was trap, and it had been set
expressly for him. It had been built
and set by man whose pigs Buster
had stolen. That is, this man with the
help of another had built and set it.
1t was couple of days after Buster
had sprung the trap that the trapper
came to visit it. When he saw that
the trap had been sprung and the door
wonder if I've got him this time"
thought he, as very cautiously he ap-
preached the trap. For few moments
he listened, first on one side and then
on the other. He was listening for the
sound of some one inside. But there
was no sound. So after while he
carefully pried up the door until he
could look in. OF course, no one was in
the trap.
Now wonder who and what sprung
that trap" nluttered the trapper. He
examined the trap all over. 1T was
that Bear!" said he, most decidedly.
HE climbed up on top of the trap, and
he sprung it from up there. Well, all is,
I'll have to set it again"
So the trapper went to work and set
the trap once more. Then, only short
distance away and at a point where
he knew from the tracks that Buster
had been in the habit of standing to
stare at that trap, he set another trap.
This trap was wholly different. 1t was
steel trap with great wicked-looking
jaws. 1t was a powerful, ugly-looking
thing. The springs on it were so strong
that the trapper had to use lever to
force them down. He took great care

tv. and he had me in the center of the
group shaking hands with Gladstone.
Underneath the pictorial matter were
the words, James j. Corbett" in The
Naval Cadet" Of course I had never
seen any one of the people, but the
poster created considerable sensation.
One day was walking by one of these
posters on my way to the theater when
I passed two hicks standing in front of
it, lost in admiration. Finally one OF
them said to the other: Gosh! That
fellow Corbett must be a great actor.
Look at that big company he's got with
him."

big log. The log was loose, so that
it could be dragged. He knew that if
Buster, or any other Bear, should be
caught, it would be very easy to follow
where it had dragged off the log.
That was where the trapper was
clever. Had he fastened that chain to
a tree or to post driven into the
ground, Bear caught in it might have
been able to tear himself free. But with
a heavy log, which could be dragged.

Printed silks of all sorts are surely
going to play an important part in
fashions for Southern resorts displayed
and worn after Christmas. Frequently
plain material will be used with figured
material, and some of the new frockS
show a use of plaid and figured or
striped and figured material. There
are printed georgetteS and chif1ons,
printed crepes printed taffeta and
printed satin crepe. Designs are large
or small, modernistic, naturalistic or
conventional, printed loosely on the
background or widely spaced.
Most attractive are the new evening
frocks made of chiffon and taffeta with
both materials printed in precisely the
same colorS and pattern. The chiffon
is used for the frock and supple drap-
cry, while the taffeta is added by ways
of poufs, sashes and the more bouffant
sort of drapery.

YOUTH GIVEN
DEFENSE AT
CLUB FARLEY
Present Day Young Is
Not Fooled BY Ho-
kuhn of Past, Says
Biennial Speaker

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. June s.
R1-Modern youth was defended
here today by Miss Laura Kuyken-
dali, dean of women, Southwestern
University, Georgetown, Texas, who
told the biennial convention Of the
General Federation Of Women's
Clubs that the phrase 'applesauce"
was the younger generations tri-
which once fooled his parents.
Our youth Of today is less credu-
lous, less erudely suggestible. keener
to detect insincerity and hokum than
formerly. Their minds go straight
to the bottom of things. Youth is too
keen to be misied by the things that
misled the older generations. The
old hokum Of spurious religion does
not appeal to them. The old hokum
Of convention does not appeal to
them, but they are susceptible to
much new hokum-jazz music, pet
ting and silly nonsense and rough
and direct laughter"
Mrs. K~uykendall found many
things to criticise in youth of to-
day. but was optimistic as to the
future.
Eighty per cent Of our girls are
underweight," she said. "They are
slightly anaemic, the majority OF
obstetrical cases today are patho-
logical and we would do we'll to
study this problem with all serious
ness. 1t is really an occasion for
alarm to be told by physicians that
a normal birth is rare.
Excessive use of cosmetics is bad
and u modern girls are most in
temperate on that point. However.
athletics has done much for our boys
and the greater hygiene or bobbed
hair and short skirts for our girls
has hleped. We should keep these
things.
Youth is physically more fit to-
day. This is especially true Of u
boys and | think it is true of our
girls. too, although the immediate
fashions are not conducive to robust
health.
youth today IL pleasure bent.
Youth rides motor cars to classes
and dances until the wee sma' hours.
IL parks its motor on the roadside 10
pet instead Of counting on the front
porch. Boys and girls are literally
going hand in hand together, and
this c~ameraderie has SO shocked
middle aged folk that the morals
Of our youth have been questioned"
