He seemed surprised.
"Hesitating? I thought you wanted

."Then why let any butts stand IN

Because you told me I'd never

brother that. Also. because I'm

added.

Coach Simms told me, and added,
but never let it be known that I
know about this or had anything to

dine together"
IT'D have gone to him and intro
duced myself" Mr.. Jardine declared.
We gave our dinner orders.
Mr.. Jardine told me what he
would pay. It waa more than I ex-
pected. He didn't have to be
Secretive about it, because Coach
Simms knew all about that.
AS we were eating the dinner I
didn't know whether I was drinking
ambrosia or chewing cardboard; my
thoughts were popping here and
there. How could I square this at

What could they do since I was 21f
Finally I turned to Mr.. Jardine.
Let me sleep on it. Tomorrow

quarters.
Jock Frasier, my roommate, said
when I CAME in, "Old Crusty is sure
to ask us ten questions EACH,
go to i'll have some heavy
thinking on, jock"
Thinking? With what?"
I grinned and tossed q book at
him. Then I went out and took q
walk.
# I didn't accept this I might
never get another opportunity. It
was mighty encouraging, however, to
have received the offer. II I went
through the course and then home
I'd be too late to get into any bush

some awful scenes In breaking the
news to my people.
I wouldn't be hurting any one but
myself. They could hire some one
to do whatever ] would do for the
corporation, and take the salary out
of my share OF the income.
Back to my room jock showed .

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Hirh Rl00d Pressure

k1lSA AIAOVA ASScNAO
Question: M. M. M. writes: II am
So years old and weigh 1875 pounds
and have high blood pressure. Please
tell me what kind of a diet I can go
en- to help this trouble without los
ing any weight"
Answer: I do not know of a diet
you can take. to reduce blood pres
sure which will not also temporarily
reduce your weight. 1t is necessary
to eliminate all carbohydrate foods
for some time, and this will probably
make you lose from S to 10 pounds.
You will be far better off at lis
wounds without high blood pressure
than at 125 pounds with high blood
pressure and the danger of apoplexy
or paralysis.
Dried Beef
Question: H. F.. asks: "Is dried
beef a wholesome food to use when
fresh meat is not available?"
Answer: Yes, dried beef is a good
food if prepared properly. 1t should
be boiled in two or more waters, and
seasoned only with a little butter as
eaten. Never combine it with white
sauce, which isthe customary way of
spelling it as a wholesome food.
st. Vitus' Dance
Question: M. K. writes: IT am 81
years old and have had st. VituS'
Dance for ten years. Is there any
thing I can do at this stage?"
Answer: You should take a fruit
fast for at least ten days, followed by
a carefully planned diet in order to
cure yourself of any tendency to
nervousness. Also, take systematic
exercises, using only those exercises
which require slow movements, and
where it is necessary to use increased
strength each day.

S1,OOO,O 900 Legal Fees


The million dollar fee in a lawsuit is something that al
ways jabs the attention of the ordinary citizen. 1t seems
rather high. 1t makes one wonder just how great a mans
legal attachments must be to make such a fee proper. It
probably leads a number Of young men to night law
schools.
A few days ago it was announced that fees "of at least
$1,000, o0O' for their services in "a years of litigation about
oil patents were being asked by ex-senator James A. Reed
and Charles W.. German Of Kansas City, lawyers.
Sometime before that there was another equally large
legal fee up for discussion in the newspapers. Farther
back in the past there have been other such fees. They
are not unheard OF, although of course the average law
yers dream hungrily of them but never get them.
The man in the street, probably, is moved by such news
items to remark, peevishly, mo lawyer on earth is worth
that much money" But the interesting point is that that
complaint is unjustified. Some lawyers are worth every
cent of q million dollars for their work in certain in
volved cases: and that is one of the most illuminating
bits of evidence concerning our legal system that you
could ever ask for.
Legal procedure has grown extraordinarily complicated
during the last few generations. 1t isn't anybodys fault,
and the remedy-if there is one-isnt on the horizon
just at this moment. That cumbersome edltlce called
The Law gets new accretions from each generation. 1t
is filled with mazes and hidden passageways. 1t has
more subtleties than an oriental system of philosophy.
As a result, the ordinary man, when he bumps his
head into it, Is lost. What seems a fairly clear problem
in everyday life grows devious and battling when it gets
into court: and what is actually complicated to begin
with takes on the proportions of an insoluble puzzle, de-
vised by impish gods to plague helpless mortals, when
it becomes a legal question.
This is not the fault Of the present-day lawyers. They
did not invent the system. 1t existed before they tried
their first cases, and sometimes it seems beyond human
influence. Most lawyers. probably, would give a good
deal to see the system %simplified.
Nevertheless, the system is a drag on our economic and
social life. The mere fact that our method of setting
disputes between man and man has grown so COM
pncated that . lawyer can honestly earn 100000 for
his part in such a settlement is ample proof that we need
a rather thorough revision of the whole procedure.

AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL

Evelyn Laye. English light opera
star in Zone Heavenly Night" an or
igtnal romantic comedy by the cele-
brated novelist, Louis Bromfield, will
come to the Capitol theater starting
next Monday. The scene Of the dra-
matte love story is laid in Budapest,
where FRITZ, the darling of cabaret
patrons in the night life of the city,
has. through her scandalous behavior,
incurred the censure of the law, and
is banished for six months. Lilli, a
flower girl. worships FRITZ, and is
easily induced by the singer to accept
the exile in her stead. How this leads
Lillt to the Counts castle, and the re-
suits Of the discovery Of the deception
Is told in frolicsome action, witty dia-
logue, and tuneful song. Colorful Co.'S
TUNES, and a large cast Of citizens,
peasants, soldiers, swells and police,
and the atmosphere of both castle and
cabaret are presented in a typically
lavish Goldwyn production. Leon Err
rol, famous stage and screen comedian,
has lines and situations worthy Of his
great talents IS a popular jester, while
Lilyan Tashman. as FRITZ, gives a
brilliant performance.

THE RACE HORSE AND THE
WORK HORSE

AA11 MAZE k1Okt0E ANN xL1C
WORK HORSE
I probably receive as many letters
from thin folks who wish to be fat as
from fat folks who wish to become
thin. It Is often possible to accom-
plish these desired results to q GER
tain extent. but the tendency to eth
er q thin or solid build is usually a
characteristic which is inherent in
the body's structure and can only be
modified within limited degrees with
out injuring the health. This be-
comes very apparent In examining
thin folks and fat folks under the
X-ray.
In the heavy type we find a stocky
individual; his chest Is wide, but the
lungs are small, being largely In the
upper portion. His stomach Is high
up in the abdomen above the umbili-
Gus and it hangs with the outlet of
the stomach at the lower portion. Be-
cause Of the small lungs the heavy
person does not burn much oxygen
and consequently the, food he eats
tends to accumulate as fat. He Is
especially likely to have diseases of
the blood vessels and arterial harden
ing or kidney trouble. He very rarely
has any stomach disorder and conSe-
quently usually eats too much. He
seldom is troubled with constipation,
although he Is in danger Of develop
Ing diabetes.
The thin person, on the other hand,
has long lungs and a narrow chest.
His stomach says down in the abdo-
men with the outlet high up so that
it is difficult for food to empty out
Of the stomach. Because of the long
lungs he usually does not breathe
deep enough to entirely aerate the
lungs so that he has a tendency to-
ward tuberculosis. The stomach
hanging down SC low retains food for
a longer time than with the stocky
person, and for this reason the thin
one Is usually very careful about his
food. Furthermore the thin n Is
troubled with constipation and flatu-
lence, but he very rarely Is troubled
with diseases of the arteries.
We may compare the thin person
to the race horse, and the fat, solidly
built person to the work horse. 1t
would be impossible to make a work
horse out Of a race horse type
through any kind of feeding. BY re-
stricting the diet and reducing a work |
horse until he is thin would not make |
him into a race horse. Two types are
distinctive. Each type can be fed so
that it will be healthy and we'll built
for its type, but it is impossible to
change one type into the other. Much
the same condition is present in hu-
man beings. We find many different
types, with these two as the most
numerous.
The stocky individual gets along
very well on a vegetarian diet, but
the thin, wiry, nervous type always

OF Marlene Dietrich's new starring
