PROTEST MADE
BY HORSEMEN

SAN MATEO, Calf, Dec UP.
California horsemen at the Bay
Meadows track complained today
that they were being refused stable
accommodations at Santa Anita
track near Los Angeles for the in
augural meeting there.
The Californians claimed that
the track promoters were dis
eliminating in favor Of eastern
horsemen.
we live here. we vote here and
pay taxes here" said Louis Aim
gren, San Diego fire chief and
owner of the Highland Spring
Stock Farm. THE California
horsemen want to see racing at its
highest plane. We do not object
to conditioning races to bring out
the best horses. What we do OBJ
ject to is being refused stalls
arbitrarily"
The indignant breeders and
horse owners discussed the posi-
bility of entering injunction pro-
ceedings against the track opera
tors. Almgren said he had been
informed by the state racing board
that it did not have jurisdiction in
the matter.

Norwegian sailor known only as
Nuggeruud. A native boy who was
with them had vanished, probably
finding Watery grave before their
small skiff was beached.
Hancock also confirmed previous
advices that the Baroness and
Robert Phillipson left Charles Is
land last July. What has since
happened to them was not dis
closed
Tragedy again befell the cnce-
happy colony, Hancock's terse
radio message stated. On Nov. 81,
stroke proved fatal to DR.. Fried
rich Ritter, German dentist, who
for two years lived in the equa-
torial Eden with Frau Dore Strauch
Koerwien, German nudist.

1t was believed Hancock found
on Charles Island only Arthur
Wittmer and his wife, Margaret;
their two children, and Frau Koer-
wien. His message read:

ashore on Maichena, more than
100 miles to the north. What hap
pened to the native boy could only
be conjectured but Hancock, before
leaving for the islands, believed he

He tied with Mel Harder of Cleve-

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-With the
disclosure today that seven men,
bers of the Pittsburgh football
team were married men, one could
not help but speculate on the part
marriage played in the success OF
the team which, but for defeat by
Minnesota. would have won the
national championship.
Were the seven husbands a help
or hindrance?
The obvious conclusion to draw, I
suppose, is that the presence of the
seven benedictS was a tremendous
help. When a married man reports
for football. the coach knews he
has a courageous man, for marriage,
like lion-taming, parachute jumping
and steeple- -jacking, appeals only to
the stout t-hearted. You get weak
lings in marriages, yes, but like the
chaff, they are soon blown away.
The fact that most of Pitts hus-
bands have been married for year
or more proves they can take it,
that they are men of stamina. To a
man who has been married year,
a little thing like flying tackle or
a rolling block is nc5hing.
Too, marriage is great condi-
toner Running up and down the
stairs and into the next room for
the sewing basket, a compact or
purse or whatever the little woman
has left somewhere tilat she isn't,
is good for the wind, if not the dis
position. So is shaking the furnace,
beating the rug, hanging curtains,
and moving the furniture TO new
location each week.
On the other hand, marriage
might well have reduced the eff.
cheney of the Pittsburgh boys. Take
those days when the little woman

dence purporting to prove that the
final battle of the Revolutionary
war was fought here has been un-
earthed by James B. Mclaughlin,
state commissioner of agriculture.
The occasion of his revelation
was announcement that national
monument will be erected at Blue

accredited site of the final battle. !"
.McLaughlin's contention, sup
ported by what he claims is cor
respondence between the command
er Of Wheeling's Fort Henry and
the commandant of the western
department at Pittsburgh, was that
"the last armed conflict between
British and Colonial troops took
place at Wheeling, then in Virgin

APPETITE MAY
Be WRONG AS
GUIDE TO FOOD
Faulty Habits of Eating
May Result in Poor
Balance.

How safe a guide Is appetite?
Does one instinctively choose the
food which is best for him?
Nutrition experts have seriously
considered these questions. The
homemaker needs to know the an
swer. Should she be guided entirely
by what the family likes or is it
better they ought to eat for health'S
sake?
The answer is that appetite is a
good guide only within certain linn
its.
For instance, the appetite can be
satisfied with foods which do not
properly nourish the body One
may appeaSe hunger with sweets or
may fill up" on starchy foods and
still fail to provide the body with
the material it needs for energy and
repair of tissues.
One may develop faulty food hab-
its such as eating between meals
or indulging taste for too sweet
or too highly favored foods.
Meals for the family, therefore,
should be definitely and intelligent
" planned with their food values
in mind. Then they should be pre-
pared and served in way which
will appeal to the appetite.
If the daily menu is sufficiently
varied and contains the necessary
food elements for growth, energy
