Fencing Champ Favors the Sport
Mrs. Hopper to Represent
 U. S. at Olympics.

More and better exercise is tho health advice of Mrs. Charles H. Hopper, champion American fencer who will represent America at the Olympic games this summer. Exercise keeps person clean mentally and physically" she as- serted.
 Especially if one does creative mental work. physical exercise is . much needed counter-balance. "Of all exercise, it seems to me fencing is the perfect one. It has beauty. health and grace as its pos- abilities And it is the one place in this hectic life where old world courtesy plays an essential part. Good form is one of the first rules of fencing. l often have thought that if children were taught fencing. their manners would take care of themselves, for fencing would teach them the im- portance of good form
 Fencing has other tremendous advantages. It appeals to the QuN 'tS Ntll tlIt pHy> sically agile. Fencing combines the eXertion of q game like tennis with the joy of matching wits as in game of chess.
 Other exercises have their good points. but l believe fencing has been overlooked as an ideal exer- else for the growing child. For skill in fencing learned in youth brings joy throughout life"

For two or three days Cubby and his twin sister tagged along after Mother Bear, as she roalned about rather aimlessly. Cubbys paw heal ed quickly. but you may be sure that Cubby had most wholesome re- spect for Prickly porky the porcu- pine-a respect that would stay with him as long as he should live. The cubs spent most of their time eX- ploring. After the long winter sleep. it seemed good to be out and about again. Mother Bear had come out fat, but this fat did not last very long. You see, she ate nothing for a day or two. because her stomach had shrunk during that long sleep. It was the same way with Cubby and his twin sister, But after two or three days they found place where the early grass was begin ming to show. They nibbled little of this. for it was young and tender. The next day they found some tender willow shoots and they ate a few of these.
 By the end Of the week their ap- petites were beginning to come hack. Cubhy's especially. He began 10 think whole lot about his stom- ach. It was about this time that Mother Bear led the way 10 swampy place, where the Laughing Brook had overfloNed for a while. The ground was soft. II was easy 10 dig
 
 the fact that during the winter their claws had grown. When they went 10 sleep, Mother Bears big claws were pretty well worn down and more or less broken. Now. with the growing of all those weeks she was asleep. they had become long and quite sharp again.
 With those big claws of hers. Mother Bear dug up a root What kind Of q root do you think it was? I'll tell you. IL was the root of 2 skunk cabbage- sometimes called of it. Then she dug up another. Cubby watched 10 sec what II was she was digging up. He hoped she would offer him q piece. But Moth CT Bear did nothing o' the kind. You see. she felt that Cubbv was now big enough 10 be somewhat indc- pendent. Tn fact. she had il in mind 10 very shortly send those cubs out into the Great World 10 look out for themselves.
 Presently. Cubby discovered a funny little brown hood, which was the protecting shield. inside of which the tiny flowers of the skunk cabbage, - the first of all the flowers to comc--were protect ed. Cubhy's paws began 10 fly and the earth began 10 fly. too. His sis ter, who happened to pass just be- hind him. received a pawful right in the face. and this didn't improve her temper a bit, you may 's' sure. But just as she was about 10 strike rubbv. she discovered one of those aittie brown hoods. and right away shc forgot everything excepting that shu vas hungry.

Dig ging up and eating the roots re- minded Cubby of the days when he lived at Farmer Browns. It re- minded him of the carrots he used 10 eat there and of how good they tasted. And of what a lot there had been. The more he thought of those carrots the more he wished he could have one; and the more he wished he could have one the more he all the other good things he had had to eat there.

Eggs Add Good

 The egg is an important article in the diet, since it provides protein that is easily digested. It is defi- cient in carbohydrate and sugar but this. of course. is not an important deficiency.
 The white of the egg consists eral salts. The yolk of the egg is fat highly emulsfied, in which there is much Nitamin A and D propor- tionately. also some protein and such minerals as phosphorus, call cium and iron.
 Contains % Calories.
 The average egg weighs about two ounces; about IS per cent of its content is protein, about 10 per cent fat, about one per cent min cral and the remainder water. In these times of much attention to calories and reduction in weight if egg will provide 70 calories. so that it is not good reducing food.
 A raw egg is not so easily digest ible as one that is slightly cooked contrary to popular opinion. on the other hand. even raw egg is fairly easily digestible.
 The hard boiled egg is digesteG easier than one of medium hard ness. particularly because the yoll has been brought into a condition which enables the gastric juice tt act upon it to better advantage. Presery ation.
 So important are eggs in the die l that all sorts of methods have beeI devised for preserving them. in clu1ing packing in solid substances and in water glass or by cold stor I age.

Mad2e Patching up Lillian's troubles When She Finds some Of Her Own.


 ''Lil needs me-" Harry Underwood repeated my words twice slowly and I laughed at the utter bewilder- ment in his face.
 "Modesty is wonderful trait and I'm glad you are developing it." said demurely. 'hut it's utterly vast ed at this moment. Let me assure you that Lillian needs you now as she never has needed anyone in her life"

 The other is a far more urgent need" I said slowly, and one more difficult for anyone 10 satisfy. II is a matter Of lillian's own morbid conscience, For year she has feared that because or Marion she sacri- ticad you. Now she fears that your coming back may estrange Marion

The way you can help her is by staying and winning Marion's s love and confidence. When you two are really friends Lillian will be at peace for the first time 1l many years"

Pullman, millionaire founder of a certain company that causes thousands of Georges and Johns" to receive handfuls of quar- ters every morning when the sleep- CTS roll into New York or Chicago or Cleveland or st. Louis, is the present Mrs. Frank O. Lowden. wife of the former governor of Illinois and one of several possible future First Ladies'
 It Is no strain on the imagina- tion to believe that a Pullman girl had certain advantages in the way of education and travel and social contacts which might make an idea First Lady.
 Florence Pullman was one of the society debs of 80 or SO years ago. She. along with Alice Roose- welt and Ruth Hanna, gave the great reading public it's. daily treat with tales of what those rich girls are doing now.
 That Name Story
 Florence Pullman, one story had if. thought up all the names" for her fathers sleeping cars. She was a student of Indian and Hawaiian tribal lore and chrlstencd cars Laughing Wa ter" "Minnehaha" or "Boola Boola" in bewitching rapiditv.
 The story continued to have it that every time daughter Florence broke bottle of champagne over one of her daddy's new cars, he put a silver dollar in her pig bank.
 As Florence Pullman grew old CT the silver dollar, according to legend. expanded into something like $lo,oo0 year which Daddy Pullman paid his daughter for thinking up names for his cars
 Mrs Lowden laughs not too amusedIy, today at these tales.
 Denies the Part
 'As matter of fact" she says. 'I never named one of fathers cars in all my life. But the public would keep it's story
 The public had its story. too, when that Pullman giEl' was en- gagged to young Frank Lowden, the son of a Sunrise, Minnesota, blacksmith. and mere practicins attorney whom she had met at the Worlds Fair in St. Louis. Newspapers shricked America s Richest Heiress Weeds Black smiths Son - Trousseau Rivals That Of Princess"
