Diet and Health

A child is a very high-poWer
energy machine and needs alot
of fuel. You get very little out
of salad. Dietitions have been
taught to regard salad with
holy awe because their train
ing has been centered around
the preparation Of diets for
elderly diabetes and Bright's
disease sufferers. Salad is all
right for an old man who is
going to spend the afternoon
on the back porch. But for a
10 year old, just full Of pep
and pride, it is no good at all.
Don't blame your child if he
fills up on candy bars If you
make him eat mostly spinach
and salad at regular meals.
Energy VitalIy Needed
The child seems to know what
it needs. It needs energy and
it likes the energizing foods

sport.
Would you advise me to
listen to my girl friend and
have good times with all the
boys, or would you settle down
with the boy next cCor?
II you are a home-loving
girl I think the best thing you
can do is to follow your own
instincts rather than go about
with the girl friend and the
crowd of boys she seems to
have at her beck and call.
You seem to me to be getting
along very well with the boy
next door. Don't try to hurry
things too fast.

The problems Of school life
are by no means restricted to
competition in studies. It has
been said that the child in
school first encounters not only
Minerva, but also Venus, Bac.
chuS and Mars.
More and more during the
past 80 years the supervision
of the physical side of the
school child's welfare has been
studied and taken over by au-
thorities. The students should
be able to learn as much about
ventilation, sunlight, food, pos
ture, the actions Of muscles and
the development Of the body in
school nowadays as he does
about reading, writing and
arithmetic.
The scholars nutrition is one
Of the most important topics
for parents and school authori-
ties. Everything mentioned
above contributes partly to it
fresh air, exercise, sleep, pos.
ture-but the most important
is a proper diet,
School Lunches Discussed
There is a large amount Of
discussion among parents and
children about the school
lunches.
For instance, the dietitians
at some schools make the chill
dren eat a great deal Of salad.
The children do not like salad.
The parents are asked to order
the child to eat salad. Even
under orders the child won't
eat salad. What about it? Il
am detailing actual --lstances
now.)
I say the children are right
and the dietitians are wrong.

A Wedding Reception
'EAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
l. We are planning to attend
a wedding reception which IS
to be held in the evening. The
bride will wear the customary
white dress and veil, thus
stamping the affair formal. Us
this correct?). But the main
question is this: A claims that
it is correct to wear a white
evening gown, which has just
recently served as a Weddlng
dress, if one is not q bridal at
tendant, but only a guest, who
may wear anything she cares
to.
B. claims that white is in"
correct for a guest to wear as
the bride will wear white.
Please settle for us, won't you?
2. Is it correct for a bride-to-
be to accept a gift Of q fur

READER.
1. You are quite right in the
first part of your question to
consider the wedding a. formal
one, since the bride is to wear
the traditional white dress and
wedding veil.
It is correct to wear q white
evening gown to this wedding.
Especially this year when white
evening gowns are so popular.
A is correct.
2. Yes. Often q very close
friend or relative will give a
personal present to the bride.
And often a close. and very
generous. relative will give
both, personal present to the
bride and a house present to

Irealize why spinach and car
rots and salad have been en-
phasized for the child's diet. Be
cause they have the green vege-
table vitamins and pigment.
That is all right. Far be 1t
from me to suggest so drastic a
revolution as to remove spinach
from the nursery table. But 1
do say the thing can be over
6one-a little spinach and
salad and carrots go long way.
The dietitians who have taken
an unbalanced view of their

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am II years of age, and
very ,1ome-loving. I have a
a girl friend who tells me to
snap out Of my home-loving
ways and go out and have a
good time. I have been out
with her many times and al

go out with her, but the boy

any more than necessary and
he surely did love me.
It was a week later that
Thad took me to a night club.
We had been down on Long
Island visiting Curt Lawlor and
his wife, friends Of Thad. He
brought me home so that I
could change my dress.
That was how Peter Thomp-
son found out where was and
whom I was with, for I had
mentioned to Cora that Thad
was taking me to this place.
The dancing there was clever,
the show by the dancing girls,
/ mean, and there was a fine
orchestra and room enough on
the floor for our own dancing.
Thad bought champagne and
after a sip advised me not to
drink it.
TITS fake stuff, it won't hurt
you and it won't do you any
good, but a chap has to buy if
he gets any attention here" he
told me.
All this time I was wonder
ing when Thad would actually
propose. That he would do so
l was absolutely sure. He was
of age-nearly 80. In fact, he
had his own fortune and
wasn't dependent on his people.
All in good time he would ask
me and there was going to be
only one answer-an answer
that would begin with q yes"
and end with a kiss!
It must have been around 2
o'clock, and I caught sight OF
Peter Thompson sitting at a
small table over by the wall, all
alone. 1t gave me a start. Was
he watching me? What right
did he have to do that? I'd
have to hurt his feelings if he
started to make any trouble.
I'd have to tell him outright to
go away and let me alone, that
he had no claim on me and
never would have.
Pete HaItS Thad
He caught me looking at him.
To my relief he smiled.
Peter rather surprised me.
He wore dinner clothes. I
didn't even know he owned
any. He looked rathe.' nice,
with his wavy black hair and
his red cheeks.
A little later, when L was
coming from the rest room, I
saw Peter and Thad stepping
into a little hall where there
were telephone booths. What
on earth could they talk about?
Myself, undoubtedly. I de-
cided to find out. If Peter
started any rough stuff I
wanted to be there to tell him
right in front of Thad that I
wouldn't marry him, tha5 I was
never, really engaged TO him.
I couldn't take any chances on
losing Thad.
what can I do for you?" I
heard Thad ask. Evidently
Peter had asked him ont there.
'I want to know only one
thing, Mr.. Parsons-what are
your intentions toward kitty
Miss MaSon?"
The nerve Of Peter!
why do you want to know?"
Thad asked.
Because I love her. If your
intentions are honorable and
she prefers you, that lets me
out, but if you are just playing
around with her, by, you'll
be sorry!"

~ ETROIT, September 9.-Miss
America VIII loafed around
the Detroit River course alone
at 50849 miles an hour yes
terday in what may or may not have
been the third heat of the Harmsworth
Trophy race.
Two days after Gar Wood, American
defender, and Kaye Don, British chal-
lenger, were disqualified in Mondays
heat for crossing the starting line ahead
OF the gun, no one knew for certain
whether there was a HarmsWorth race.
The International Racing Commission
ruled Monday evening the 1881 attempt
to lift the emblem of water-speed SUI
premacy was mo race"
Yesterday Gar Woods brother George,
who piloted Miss America VIII to last
place in Sundays heat, which Don won
with a record-breaking average speed
of 899l3 miles an hour, and who was
the only driver to finish Mondays heat,
protested the mo race" ruling.
AS qualified member of the Amer
lean team, he demanded the right to
trophy for the United States, rather
a challenger's disqualification
w. D. Edenburn of Detroit, represent
alive of the Yachtsmen's Association
of America on the racing commission,
granted Woods request. He said. how
ever, Charles F. Chapman of New York,
the other member of the commission,
would have to concur in his ruling be-
fore the mo race" verdict could be
altered
From New York last night came word
that Chapman was of the opinion that
the 1881 renewal should stand as mo
race" He added, however, his belief
that 1t is a question for the Yachts
mems Association, as the national au-
thority, to decide.
Edenburn had left Detroit for To-
ronto last night before the word from
Chapman was received.
The point at issue is whether any
name shall go into the records of the
international competition and on the
trophy plaque as the 1881 winner
If Edenburns ruling of yesterday, that

old boy probably will be recorded as
the winner. He is Garfield Arthur
Wood, jr son of Gar Wood. who has

WADE IS LABELED
FOOT BALL MOSES
However, New Tutor Not So
Certain Eleven Will Be
Winner This Year.
BY H. C. BYRD.

A GOOD many people down In
N the Tarheel State are voic-
ing almost a collective
opinion that Duke Univer-
sity is going to make the other big
North Carolina schools, namely,
North Carolina University and
North Carolina State College, sit
up and take notice.
When Duke University was
Trinity College, without many
students and with less money, it
played third fiddle to the univer-
sity and the State college, but APP
parently the worm Is about to
turn.
Duke in the next few years, If some
predictions come true. Is slated to play
the leading role in North Carolina in
most things pertaining to education. and
of these things not the least is intercol-
legiate athletics.
And Duke people. naturally partisan
to the above mentioned view, hope that
as far as foot ball Is concerned the
change will begin this Fall. Anyway, all
that can be done in the matter OF ire
sight and preparation to bring this
change about has been done. Duke makes
no secret of the fact that it expects
Wallace Wade to develop big things as
far as the gridiron is concerned. And,
If his accomplishments at Alabama are
any criterion of what he can do else
where. then Wade should do big things
at Duke.
Last year during Spring practice
Wade made the statement that he had
watched the men work out and that he
felt the material was just about as
good at Duke as at Alabama, but, of
course, what foot ball players seem to
be in the Spring practice may be en-
tirely different from what they actu-
ally are under the stress of real COM
petition. In other words, Wade actu-
ally does not know just how good his
material is. Recently, in letter to the
writer, Wade summed up the situation
at Duke pretty we'll, and here is what
he says:
we do not feel that we have very
definite idea as to the kind OF team
we will have this Fall. We had very
limited Spring practice, and actually !
know very little how our material will
stand up under fire. And, another i'm
portant thing, know very little about
our opponents. -,
