Rudy's Remarkable Theory
believe it is possible for a
man by nature, to care for
more than one woman at the
same time. But certainly the
degree of caring in each case
must necessarily be different,
because I have always found
that a man likes different
girls for different qualities. 1t
is quite obvious that each quail
ity varying as it does in each
girl must necessarily result in
q different degree of affection,
or as we like to term it, love.
/ think that man is by ma
ture flirtatious. and however
straightlaced or business-like a
man may be on the surface,

to admire beauty in a woman.
It seems to be a perfectly nat
ural manifestation of human
nature. Of course there are
exceptions but my observations
of hundreds of men in places
where I have played are that

mire several and many women,

the need of each others COM

But I have observed many
cases which proved quite other
wise. I have seen men and
women growing old together,
happy in a love that grows
firmer and more substantial
with the years.
With the coming of romantic
spring time, the impulse to

A WOman's Task
The woman who is loved for
certain quality. or set Of
qualities. must strive to keep
those qualities always predomi'
nant, fresh and alluring. other
wise it is quite sensible that the
affection they engender must
terminate. Love is supposed to
be built on more than physical
beauty; it is supposed to be
founded on a combination of
physical attractiveness, mutual
understanding, companionship
and camaraderie, but ofttimes
the physical beauty of the
woman may be the chief motiva-
ton of the mans affection,
with the comradeship and
mental understanding rather
supplementary. When the man
tells the woman in this case
that he loves her mainly for
the beauty of her eyes, he is
not giving her a "line;;" he is

probably sincere when he says
it, and possibly the only other
woman to whom he would say
the same thing would be a
woman with eyes equally as
beautiful.
Several girls have often found,
Upon confiding in each other,
that the same man has made
love to them all, has told them

and then have been quick to

each individually could boast.

Your Health
and Diet
By DR.. Logan Clendening

by Dr' Logan Clen0enlng
The principles of this diet
are just the opposite of those
for the reducing diet. The i'm
portant thing is to eat more Of
everything, the patient being
urged to force his appetite just
as the overweight is urged to
curb his appetite.
Both are hard to do. The
thin person who is urged to
force the appetite usually
fears the extra food will not
be digested. But this need
not be source of worry.
Nature has wide powers of
adjustment, and when it has
to. the digestive system can do
all the extra work required.
Change the Meals
A good way to. make these
people eat more is to change
the whole system Of the house
hold meals-do not give them
anything they have been accus-
toned to.
The most stimulating foods
to nutrition are milk and eggs.
They are the foods growing
animals live on. Milk is
usually easy to take, even if
the appetite is tickle, because
it is q liquid and can be
gulped down quickly. It is not
a highly concentrated food, but
the addition of extra cream
greatly increases it's nourish-
ing value.
An egg nog with the yolk
and white of the egg separated
and beaten UP and added to
the milk-cream mixture with a
little sherry wine (Which doc
tors are allowed to prescribe)
is a combination which con-
tainS about 400 calorieS.
Stimulating Diet
TIL diet should also include
meat, fish, chicken, etc., in
liberal quantities. These articles
also have a stimulating effect
on nutrition. Also cereals which
have a high nutritive value.
Fruits and vegetables must be
included, especially potatoes.
Bread with plenty Of butter
the bread or toast being more
the medium for plenty of butter
than anything else. Desserts,
jams, and jellies are allowed
in liberal quantities.
Just as the overweight pa
tient has to exercise, the under
weight has to rest. To lie down
for an hour after each meal
will do more to put on weight
and strength than any other
thing. If in the stress and
strain Of a workaday life an
hour is too much, take as large
a part of it for rest as you
can. It is surprising how easy
it is for anyone to arrange a.
half hour or fifteen minutes
rest three or four times in
the course of the day. BY rest
I meal lying down in full re-
taxation on a couch or bed or
sofa.

these women he meets for some
particular outstanding charm
which they possess. And as he
meets these various WON e n
more and more, is it not per-
fectly natural that he might
develop a great tenderness, a
great caring for each one,
for her particular charm? AS
Graham McNamee says: at
seems perfectly reasonable,
doesn't it?"
Rudy's Philosophy
Personally, though, I have
always felt that the deepest
Of love was rather an mex
plicable thing, and I base my
belief on this particular reason.
If a man loved woman only
because of the beauty of her
face. were she to become dis
figured in an accident, his love
naturally would instantly cease;
or were she to become old and
Wrinkled, his love should then
terminate. Then how do we
explain the cases that have
actually happened, where a
girl has been hideouSly disfig.
ured and is yet loved more
than ever by the man who
loved her when she was beau
tiful. In that particular case
it, would seem obvious that it
must be her companionable
traits that win the mans love.
But there have been cases
where even these, together
with the beauty, have been
completely destroyed by acci-
dent or some calamity, and
still the man has gone on, ap-
parently as much in love with
the girl as ever.
Definition For Love
I believe the truest express
sion and definition for love is
in the reply of a person who,
when asked the reason for his
or her affection. replies II don't
know. but I just do" The
minute one is able to name the
particular feature or group of
features which give rise to the
caring, then it would seem
that the attraction would be
destroyed: But after we look
at our own fathers and
mothers. especially the grey
haired father and mother,
whose tenderness and affection
for each other seem to grow
stronger day by day. it would
seem that theirs is really this
thing called love-"
Cynics say that the reason
our fathers and mothers 60 on .
still caring for each other
though they have become old
and wrinkled. is simply that
they resign themselves to it,
and that the daily companions

Mans Puppy Loves
Some of the women would
be disappointing to him as he
saw more of each one, and
one would certainly eventually
impress him more than all the
rest. But since no woman, or
no man. for that matter, has
all the qualities that the other
desires, it is quite obvious that
o person having a large share
of any particular quality will
attract, if only momentarily.
We often humorouSly refer
to some of our past affections
as puppy loves meaning
that while we reany liked these
persons a great deal. it was
mot a deep. substantial. undy-
ing affection. We often laugh
ingly say we thought we we're
in love-" and regard ourselves
as rather silly at having
though so. Personally I be-
lieve that these younger affec-
tions were loves, just as much
as what we term a mature and
deep love which we might
know today. It seems to be a
matter of perspective. and pos,
sibly some time in the future
the same love OF which we are
so sure today might be almost
relegated to the puppy love
class. Who can say what the

These Modern Lovers
A mans way of selecting a

to pick out all the serious, in.
telligent, worthwhile girls
and then marry one of the
other kind.
People who dodge matrimony
miss the best half of their lives
and escape the other half.
AS long as D man can read a
wOman's heart i'm her eyes, he
gives the lOve-game only half
his attention; it is only when
she puts on her poker face and
stands pat, that he begins to
sit up and take notice.
There is something silly
about a French poodle shaved
like a lion, or a trained seal
balancing a ball on its nose:
but nothing in the whole wide
world looks so foolish as a
bald-headed sugar daddy tod
ding around the dance floor
with a fluffy flapper less than
half his age.
Marriages used to last longer
when there were no gOlf-Iinks
and dad had to come home for
d V: Ind when the were
no beauty parlOrs nor gigOIOs,
and women had to stay at
home and cook dinner.
The only way for a woman
to be happy in this modern
world, is to take men as they
come-like luck or a holiday
and to let them GO as they
go! But, alas, what woman
can do that-and be happy?
Petting is the feeble-minded,
childish pastime of the senti.

Making q girl believe that
she is the only woman in your

300 Automobiles
Tested Yesterday
Safety Lane" on Freight Street Proves Popular With
Brass City Motorists

Over 300 automobiles of all makes
and descriptions were inspected yes
terday on Safety Lane" Freight
street. 1t was the opening of the
four-day period of inspections in
connection with a safety first cam
paign launched by the Automobile
Club of New Haven county, assisted
by the local police department and
the Chamber of Commerce.
A large number of cars were test
ed to-day by the special apparatus
on the scene and numerous ques-
tons asked by interested autoists
were courteously answered by the
staff in charge. The campaign is
essentially a special drive to pro-
tect innocent victims of accidents,
children on the streets and high
ways. Defective brakes have been
marked as one of the greatest con-
tributory causes of tragic deaths.
In addition to brake inspection au-
toists without a cent of expense may
have the alignment of their wheels
tested.
With the number Of motor cars
constantly increasing and compli-
eating the problems of traffic con-
troll, the protection of children
against possible injuries from auto
mobiles is becoming an increasing
ly serious problem.
Many accidents are undoubtedly
due to the failure of brakes or other
safety equipment to function prop
erly at the crucial moment and can
be avoided by keeping this equip
ment in proper adjustment so that
the car will be under control in
emergencies.
For the protection of Waterbury

sored by the Auto Club of New Ha-
ven county under the direction OF

test of brakes. lights, horn, mirror,
Windshield wiper. wheel alignment
and steering wheel play.
Owners of cars successfully pass
ing all tests are issued an o. K. GER
tificate which is pasted on the wind
shield; those whose cars fail are
given duplicate of the official test
showing the various adjustments
which are necessary to safety. BY
having these adjustments made and
properly certified to on the back of
this card, the motorist, on presenta-
ton of this card, will receive an
o. X. certificate.
Every motorist who is genuinely
interested in accident prevention
will see to it that his car merits a
certificate before the close of the
test.
