minutes for eight men to roll 10
games, according to experiment.

The small entry fee, SO, is draw
ing a large number of average
bowlerS, who see a chance to get
in plenty practice at shooting at
single pins.
Its only $3," one of them
reasoned, "and you really are
putting out only 81. for So goes
for the games. You certainly
get your moneys worth in prac-
tice. It's a great chance to
improve my game. Who knows
1 may be a better single pin
shooter than I think am.
Anyway, 1t isn't costing much"
Each bowling alley is having it's
private wrangle regarding who

4AVH"4 oSOAJ w OPOhAiS uP AuAA
HAP" Hardell, Tech track
mentor. has installed an inno-
vation in the way OF putting his
charges through their PAGES. 1t
Is something he has borrowed
from Cornell, where Gil Dobie,
Hap's patron saint hangs out.
Each day he. posts the names
of the athletes on the bulletin
board with certain drills and
exercises they must go through
on that day. Then he stalks out
on the field, balefully eyeing
each youngster as he does or
fails to do what he has been
assigned.
Much to Hap's disappointment
most of them follow instruc'
tions. Occasionally a chap who
according to Hardell's way OF
figuring, would make a half-re-
spectacle miller, insists on kick
ing the saw-dust out Of the
jumping pits. When Hap notes
these acts of lese majeste, his
faith in human perversity is
again restored, and he is happy.
Reichrnan PleaseS
Being able to mimic not only
the systems. but also the charac-
teristics of rival high school
coaches, he manages to affect
the demeanor which will be most
effective to each individual stu
dent. Thus he keeps the quota
Of rail birds down to the mini
mum.
AL Reichman, in whom Hap
sees all the ideal requisites of
an athlete, is the brOad-shoul-
dered lad expected to bring
In sure points for Tech.
There are stories floating
about of insignificant leapers
who, after a couple of years of
being unable to do more than
clear their feet, suddenly achieve
prodigious heights. He tells OF
another youngster, it was hard
to make out whether on this
years squad or last, who was or
is quite a pumpkin at the broad
Jump. He did 81 feet off hand,
but after little instruction he
could do only 19, so Hap let him
alone.
In the meantime he was watch
ing several discus throwers going
through contortions unworthy the
distances they achieved with the
soup plate. In the midst of the
jumpers a couple OF shot-putters
were toying with the iron ball,
and a group of javelin throwers
were trying to spear another
group about 25 yards away.
One group was located in the
midst Of several young lakes, into
which the javelin invariably
landed.
"Oh, WE'LL" Hap sighed, as
one chaps exceptional javelin
heave landed in the midst Of
another group, who were so
astOniShed that they barely got
out of the way. "SOme do as
you tell 'em, and some don't!
And others are wondering what
it's all about. Some of 'em
think they know more than the
coach and some have their
doubts. A few admit that
maybe the coach does know
something"
He is apparently resigned to
the fact that Eastern will cop
the annual meet. But, and for a
moment a light flares into those |
sober eyes, next year, it's going |
to be different. Hap recalls that |
Tech had everything its own way |
for several years on the track,
and then faded out of the pic
ture. Yep, next year is another
ammo Domini, Harden unused.
perhaps, this Cornell system
will pan out this year." he
remarked, "and if it does, it'n
prove one thing, anyway. Hn
prove that the boys have
learned how to read"
Hardell nags them a little now
and then. A gentle hint here, a
broad one there. Otrer than that
he lets them have their way, and
watches them.

TWO PIN LOOPS
ENTERED

There is one night on the W.
c. D. A. tournament program at
the Lucky Strike on which you
couldn't roll for love or money,
according to Arville L. Ebersole,
w. c. D. A. secretary.
It is Wednesday, April 20. Both
the Knights of Columbus and the
Electrical Leagues, each 16-team
loop, are entered on that night,
and will also roll doubles and sin
giles. taking up all alleys allotted
to the association.
Eddie Camp, secretary-scorer of
the Electricians, is making ar
rangments for special attractions
for his league that night.
Other leagues pledged in their
entirety are the Columbia Heights
League, with Jimmie Simmons,
veteran ace, as pledger, and Com
mercial League, which Harry z.
Greer, W. C. D. A. proxy, is
bringing in.
EberSOle makes several eligi-
biIity points clear. A team
with a roster of 10 bOwlers may
enter two teams. Furthermore
the first team can pick up one
man and the second team two,
but these must be from the
league in which the team bowls.
A team which is represented
in two leagues by the same bowl.
erS can bowl twice. Team aver.
ages are based exclusively on the
averages held by a bowler in that
league, regardless of what he
may have in another league, pro.
viding he has bowled Is or more
games.
They are funny things, these
duckpins. Jack Whalen rolls 405
to put Rendezvous back in run
ming in the District League, by
blanking Temple, and then he
shoots a 108 average against
Espey in a singles match a little
later. The Rendezvous boys did
all kind of brilliant things against
Temple, including a prodigious
665 game.

YOUTHFUL CLUB
 LIFE POPULAR

New York UPJ-Club life among boys and girls here has been put under the microscope by the Research Bureau of the Vel fare Council and has been found little different from club life among the older generation
 The councils report of a study of clubs in AS settlements and neig borhood houses shows blIei- ly: that girls are greater club join CTS than boys, that 1t is not al ways easy to secure adnlittancc even to a boys or girls club, be- cause in most of them the pro- posed member must be acceptable to all. or d majority Of, club mem bers; that it is not easy to remain in a club once you have gotten in, because your dues of three cents to 25 cents week must be paid regularly and long lists of rules must be observed, under penalty of fine or expulsion; that social and athletic activities are most popular and religious or instruc- tive activities least popular.
 The Welfare Council found some 700 clubs with close to 30,- 900 members, among the settle ments. Jewish, Italian, and Irish boys and girls prcdominatc, but almost every other nationality ol earth is represented, many of them in the same club. The only considerable group of the city, population not included in club memberships, the report says, are

Sue found the office of the morn ing paper first. She took an eleva- tor up to the editorial room, and stood hesita dng in the midst of the confusion. Telephones rang, type writers pounded, there was a whir of linotypes from the room be- yond. Men in their shirt sleeves worked rather furiously.
 Finally a thin, tall youth with a melancholy expression relieved by very sharp eyes, asked if she wanted someone.
 Sue knew that there would be sarcasm in his eyes if she explained that she wanted to correct a story. But she was going to see the thing through, for some reason that she couldn't quite determine. Somehow, in the morning, the thing didn't seem nearly as important as it had in the night, but she still had the same resolve.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-07-28

On my travels the mother of an eight-year- girl has asked me how to cure thumb-sucking. I told her what I have said here many times-that 1 do not know how to do so.
 This little girl already showed signs of a receding lower jaw. Without any doubt her teeth were not articulating properly; surfaces were rubbing abainst surfaces not intend for friction; they will wear out. And at her age this is es- pecially serious because her second teeth are coming in, the last she will ever have. Moreover, wrong jaw conformation has a lot to do with the general health and oc- casionally with mental vigor. Otherwise bright and pretty, she was one of the most promising of failures.
 A Habit to Be Stopped.
 Now l said that I did not know what to do for such an unfortun- ate habit, but there Is one thing should do. I should do. I should stop it. I should have stopped it when she was a year old, l should have liked to say to Der mother. l may have put mitteHs on her, or I might have had the doctor rec ommend scme distasteful prepara- tion (harmless of course) to put on the maltreated member. Per haps I couldn't have cured in a month, two months, or six. But by the time she was two years old she would not have been making a perpetual meal of her thumb. 1 am sure of that.
 forgot to ask this unhappy lady whether or not her daughter had ever been stuffed with a ! "pacifier" or comforter when she was a baby; if she ever had | that habit there was only one thing for her to turn to when she had Outgrown her baby ways-her tumb.
 Both thumbs and paclfiers, by constant pulling, increase the size of the adenoid cells at the back of the nasal passage. "Adenoids" or spongy growths cause illness, ear an dthroat trouble, loss of ap- petite and stupidity. Since there has been less popularity of the pacifier, once so ubiquitous. there have been fewer cases of adenoid operation.
 Organs May Be Affected.
 Tonsils, too, become swollen and irritated from thumb-sucking. In fact, everything about the mouth, throat and nose will suffer if the habit is not stopped.
 l never heard of eyes being af- fected, but it just happens when I think of it that this same mother asked me about the little girls eyes. They watered good bit and she squinted just n little. Of course, l suggested examination and glasses, but 1t seemed that had been tried; the doctor had merely prescribed a lotion instead of glasses. There was no evidence of strain.
 There was lot of sun where we were, and water too. A thought struck me. "Why don't you get her a pair of dark glasses while you are here; children's eyes need protection as well as those of older people," She approved the idea and said she would. but we left next day and I do not know whether my inspiration material iZed or not.

Besides, we got Bra dy at the hospital He said that he girl with him was Sue Merryman. /"
 "Oh-h h" There was relief in Sues voice. "Then it's all right. You knew who | was, and 1 need not have bothered about coming. "
 We'll" The he broke off as the office boy handed him a paper. Give that the once over" He showed the paper into Sues hands. and she was aware that he watched her closely as she read.
 The relief at finding that her identity was known was short-livcd, though. The paper had used her picture. And it had described the accident. But it didn't stop there, and with a sick feeling Sue realized that it was all her fault. It made the statement that she had given another name, Ruth Smith, in order to protect her own identity.
 "Why didn't you just say Sue Merryman alias Ruth Smith?" Sue said when she had read it. Every one will wonder why l did not want it known that 1 was with Jean. And 1 didn't care at all!'
 "Then why did you prevaricate? ?' Such a composed. self-assured voice.
 "I wish I knew! Thanks for tho Knowledge. Good-bye!" Sue turned and walked out of the room, heac high.
 "Darned good looking girl. Who was she 2" she heard a voice from somewhere float after her.
 "If Jack sees that other name .. "She sighed. "IIe will. Someone will send this to him. And it was so harmless. Only 1 made 1t look queer"
 She remembered that she was still carrying tho paper. "Ill go drink some coffee and check off the want ads" she decided.

NANCY PAGE Fresh Succotash Makes Summer
 Days Worth While
 By Florence Ia Ganke

Nancy and Peter were both ex- tremely fond of fresh succotash. For this Nancy used fresh lima beans and fresh corn cut from the cob. She had her own technique for cutting the corn off. It sounds complicated, but the finished dish was worth the effort.
 Nancy armed herself with two plates, silver table knife and a sharp kitchen knife.
 First she husked the corn and brushed off the silk.
 Then placing n plate in the sink she stood an ear of corn on It., holding 1t with her left hand. With the sharp knife held in the right hand she cut the tops of the ker- nels from the ear. She did not cut in deeply but took off the merest cap.
 Then she transferred the shorn ear to the second plate and again holding the ear in her left hand she used the blunt end of the table knife to move up and down the ear and press out the heart of the corn and the milky pulp. She moved the knife rapidly up and down the ear.

SISTER -MARY'S KITCHEN

Peaches are more plentiful this season than they have been for years-consequentl we can use them lavishly for those preserves and conserves that seemed q bit ex- travagant to make when the fruit was high in price.
 Fresh peaches make an infinite variety of luscious summer des- serts. Although the fresh fruit lacks some of the minerals found in apples, 1t has a decided tonic eff feet and a definite place among the essential fruits. it's a good plan to use peaches often while they are in season. Peaches and cream make a particularly simple dessert that long has been symbolical of luxury. but did you ever try freez- ing this dish? Pare and slice peaches exactly as you would for the fashioned dish. Sprinkle with sugar and place in freezing tray of electric refrigerator or in mold of freezer. Pour over rich cream to cover and freeze until firm. If a freezer Is used. pack in eight parts ice to one part salt and freeze without stirring.
 Small children should not be all
  they do apples, for the structure of the fruit is not as digestible as the apple. However, when the fruit is steWed. children five or six years Of age may eat 1t.
 If your family likes hot rolls or toast and marmalade, by all means make some peach and orange mar malade.
 Peach and Orange Marn,aladc
 Twentyfour peaches, 2 oranges, granulated sugar.
 Peel peaches and remove stones. Squeeze juice from oranges and cut rind in thin strips. Cut peaches, in thin slices. Combine juice. pre- pared rind and peaches. Weigh Add as many pounds of sugar as there were pounds of fruit. Cover and let stand over night. Bring slowly to the boiling point and sim mer until thick. Stir to prevent sticking and burning as the mix ture thickcns. It will take about two hours to cook the marmalade Turn into sterilized glasses and cover with paraffin when cold.
 Peach butter is another delicious cOncOctiOn to use with hot rolls or toast.
 Peach Butter
 Scald peaches. dip into cold water and slip skins. Remove stones and put into preserving kettle with just enough water to prevent burning. Cover and cook until peaches are tender, stirring to prevent sticking. Rub through n coarse sieve and measure pulp. Put fruit in preserving kettle and add as many cups of sugar as there were cups of fruit. Bring to the boiling point and boil 15 minutes. stirring constantly with a long handled wooden spoon.
 When the butter Is nearly done 1t sputters and splashes and will burn ones hands if the spoon handle Is not long enough. Pour into sterllized jars and seal.
 If u thicker butter Is wanted cook the pulp and sugar until n little tested on 6 cold plate Is the desired consistency.
 Peach conserve is much like peach and orange marmalade. The conserve adds seedless raisins (white ones if you can get them) and nuts and uses only one or anee. One cup nut meats and one cup raisins to 24 peaches should be used. Add them for the last ten minutes of cooking.
