Pinch Hitting for Henry McLemore
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16--Floyd
(Babe) Herman, whose code of
life does not permit him to hide
his light under any bushel, has
made a frank admission he will be
great help to the Chicago Cubs
next year, even in the matter of
base running.
Ordinarily people do not discuss
base running with the slugging
outfielder for the same reason they
dc net go around playing practical
jokes On Jack Dempsey but Her
man brought the matter up him
self when he was approached about
his idea of being passed from one
National league club to another.
And don't go cracking about my
base running" Herman wound up
after he told what a great fielder
and hitter ne was, I'm a good
baserunner." =
"Y'knoW,p he reminisced, my
first season with Brooklyn I stole
only two bases. One day Robbie
(Uncle Wilbert Robinson) came to
me and said Can't you steal?' and
I said, You never asked me to-"
Ever since then Herman has been
improving on the bases until he
candidly admits, he now is the Sec
ond best base stealer in the Ma
tional league.
L1,.ieol, &c tho ot,lxr Jt1v
that stole more than me last year,
Herman recalled. And, don't for
get, I'm improving.
People always yelp about the
time Chick Fewster and me got on
third at the same time but that
was a long time ago and besides
it wasn't my fault. It was Dazzy
Vance who gummed things up. II
Vance hadn't been so slow both
he and Fewster would have scored
Instead Chick had to come charg-
ing back to third just as I was slid
ing in from second. Chick and me
darn near spiked each other
Herman, recently sent to Chicago
! from Cincinnati, was asked how
he liked the idea of playing in the
windy city.
That's fine with me- he said
Il always wanted to be with the
Cubs. I'll play great ball there

SPRINGFIELD. Ill, September g.
The struggle for leadership Of the
approximately $4,000 union miners of
Illinois continued today after both the
newly-formed Progressive Miners of
America and the United Mine Workers
Of America won minor victories yes
terday.
A rebuff was administered the Pro-
greSSiye Miners Union when officials
of II mining companies. representing all
the union mines in the Peoria district,
adopted a resolution refusing to recog-
nize the new union and agreeing to
abide by the SIS wage contract signed
by officials of the older union.
Officers of the Progressive Miners an
nounced that seven additional mine
operators in the Belleville district had
signed working agreements with the
union, bringing to IL the number of
operators signing contracts to pay the
old wage scale of S6.10 a day t
More than 200 workers at the North
ern Illinois Coal Corporation strip mine
at Wilmington quit work yesterday when
500 pickets from the Peoria district
arrived. They had been working under
the IS scale.
Three Perry County locals voted to
return to work under the new scale,
this resulting in reopening of two mines
near Duquoin.

PEORIA, Ill, September 9.-Deputy
Sheriff c. o. Skinner OF Pekin, Ill, was
held in Peoria County Jail last night
for lack of bail on a murder charge
growing out of the death last week of
a prisoner in the TazeWell County Jail
at Pekin.
Skinner was rushed here after his
arrest when a mob Of about 300 men,
shouting threats, gathered in the Taze-
well County Jail yard Most of the
men were friends of Martin Virant, East
Peoria coal miner, whose death in jail
resulted in the murder charge against
Skinner.
Denies Beating Man.
Coroner A. f. Allen and States At
torney L. P. Dunkelberg Of Tazewell
County, who questioned the deputy last
night after his arrest, said Skinner de-
MED having beaten or maltreated
Virant
The murder charge was lodged
against Skinner after DR.. w. D. Nc
Nally, Chicago pathologist. reported to
Coroner Allen that a laboratory eX-
animation of tissue and cartilage from
VIrant'S neck and an examination of
his body convinced him that the man
had not died from hanging. Sheriff
j. J. Crosby reported that Virant was
found hanging from the roof of his
cell.
TestifieS to Beating.
Virant, held as a witness and sus-
pect in the Staying of Louis Nelan,
testified at the opening of the inquest
into Eelan's death that he had been
beaten by several deputies led by Skin
ner. Coroner Allen said his testimony
was borne out by injuries he had suf-
fered-concuSsion of the brain, broken
rib and other injuries.
DR.. McNally said he expected to COM
plete a more thorough examination
within 10 days and returned to his Chi
cago laboratory.

By Logan Clendening, M. D.
Whoever conceived Of the
ground plan Of a meal is un-
known to history, or at least
to me. But he did his work
we'll. Every civilized country
has the same architecture for
a full meal:
Soup to whet the appetite:
Meat. vegetables and bread, for
the solid needs;
Salad for vitamins and rough"
: age;
DeSsert-for what?
The unknown designer Of this
plan did not have a definite
idea Of what each of his courses
did in a scientific way. Such
meals were in established use
long before the science of nu-
triton was born. The plan must
have been the result of trial
and error. It achieved success
in its final form, as given
above, and was satisfactory be-
cause it conformed to the prin-
cipleS of science even if these
principles were still unknown.
The function each course per-
forms is only my own interpre-
tation in the light of recent
science.
Why dessert? It must have
some function, fulfil some need.
It = too generally popular to be
worthless. No, matter what
other parts of the meal are
skimped we usually are offered
dessert.
Yet it usually is considered
indigestible and fattening and
generally Objectionable. There
is, however, one conceivable
function Of desserts which is
useful-being sweets they kill

for nibbling. And to that ex-
tent, fattening as they are, a
small serving Of dessert, If
eaten before the appetite of the
middle-aged is satisfied, may
event tend to keep weight down.
AS to their digestibility, there
is not much difference between
desserts and other parts of the
meal.
Angels food and devils food
digestion does not seem to
be on the side Of the angels.
Angels food cake remains con.
siderably longer in the stomach
than devils food cake, and de.
velops a higher amount Of acid

there are three little self fab

Don't you think this tweed

After buying this ensemble,

ped by matching coat, just
notice the expression on her
face. II she hasn't a look Of
complete satisfaction and pride,
we'll miss our guess! For who
wouldn't be tickled to death at
finding such a clever costume!
Five-Piece Ensemble
In addition to these grand
three.piece coat, jacket and skirt
affairs, we discovered that some
times there's a blouse and even
a hat, as we'll to complete
the costume! Why, we almost
expected to see a pair Of shoes
and gloves coming along with
one, before we got through!
All the figures in the top il
lustration are wearing the diff
ferent parts Of a grand five
piece ensemble we found. A
soft, moo h tweed - copied
from q high-p riced Harris
tweed-is the fabric, and it
comes in bright optimistic
colors-green, blue and rust,
and also a nice rich tan.
The jacket Of the suit is
smartly collarless, with a high
neckline and it buttons over on
the shoulder. You can undo it
and make revers, if you like.
The double breasted buttons
accentuate the mannish tailored
effect. And so do the raglan
set sleeves and slit pockets.
Goring in the straight line
skirt provides ample fullness to
take long strides in walking.
Broad Shoulders, Narrow Hips
AS for the full length coat
did you ever see anything
more swagger? Notice the
fitted lines and the notched
revers spreading out across the
front and the double breasted
closing? And see the stitching
which always gives a coat
such a trim appearance
that's used in close rows on
the buck1ed belt? 1t edges the
collar and cuff effects, too!

Buying a Gift

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My young man friend and I
have been invited to a house
warming party to be given by
friends. This is the question
is it proper to allow my friend
to purchase the gift for both
of us (Which he suggested or
should We each be equally re-
sponsible FOR just our own gifts?
1 thought it correct to purchase
a gift myself for the couple
but at the suggestion of my
friend that he buy the gift to
be given by both of us, I was
rather doubtful.
= we are not engaged as we
have been going around to-
gether for on'y four months.
L. G.
Under the circumstances it
would be the best form for you
to buy a gift for the house
warming, and for him to buy
one. Or, if you give one to-
gether, you should insist ON
paying your share of it.
