ture should have this same meas urement from bottom of the base to center of shade.
 Shades Must Be Big Enough
 But, given proper height. it's funny how we can spoil otherwise correct lamps by using shades much too small. The ones for the lamps on the chest should meas ure about eight inches across the lower edge. This is very impor- tant. Correct size insures soft spread of light from the 60-watt bulb you should use in each lamp. Material of the lamp shade should be chosen carefully. Sleazy silk will not pass inspection. You will want no bulb glaring through the shade, but smooth uniform light instead. As to color of shades, any light tint is acceptable for this location when not used by Q wo- man while applying cosmetics.
 The lamp illustrated at the bot tom in the panel has a distinctly feminine air. The others, how ever, are trimly masculine and sug- gest types that bring lighting com- | fort to the man of the house when | placed on his dresser.

LOST OF MEAT FOR BRIGHTs
 DISEASE.

Whenever I stand up and take a shot at some hallowed old medical tradition my effrontery almost in- variably brings a rebuke from some venerable colleague whose sense of propriety and the fitness of things is shocked by such rude ness. Or perhaps clique of the old timers get together and have their man Mawrus thrash me soundly in the editorial pages of the Journal.
 I don't mind that at all. In fact, I rather like 1t. Much better to have the big wigs protesting and calling you names than it is to be ignored. Proves they take you seriously, at any rate. But what Nburns me up is to get a long letter from some wiseacre layman who attempts to chide me and to point out patiently wherein l am ob- viously wrong-since my view or teaching fails to coincide with that of some long dead authority" Now when a medical or scien . tific man cites an authority we all understand what he means. He merely desires to name some one else who has advanced the same luea ne IS espoHSiH5 oL PAoAhouh6 He certainly does not expect his medical or scientific audience to ashume the thing must be so If somebody also has thought 1t might be so. But when the half informed layman names an auth ority (likely as not some notorious charlatan or mail order faker) ne obviously expects you will be quite crushed find incapable of carrying on.

true for me. I crA't carry on after that, not like gentleman anyway. It is almost a tradition that per- sons with bright's. disease, chronic nephritis, bad kidneys. should have little or no meat especially red or dark meat. Some self-sufficient laymen imagine this prescription includes even eggs, the whites of them at any rate, because, as these child minded ones reason, white of egg is albumen and so .. Just what is it about dark meat that makes such food so bad for one with kidney disease it is diff ficult to ascertain, but I under stand it such meat is chock full of pric acid and of course uric acid
 In a discussion of the treatment of common forms of dropsy, at the 1888 meeting of the New York State Medical society, Dr Nellis B. Foster said:
 Normal serum has a colloidal osmotic pressure of 39-40 cm. of water. When the albumen con- tent of serum is reduced Gas in
 nephrosis (kidney disease) and
 hamilton especially, the osmotic pressure also falls. In hydropi- genous (causing dropsy) nephri- tis the osmotic pressur esi often
 below 20 and may be down to 19 cm. of water; edema (dropsy) is then a probable consequence A high protein diet designed to.
 replenish serum protein, as first advocated by Epstein, is now
 accepted as rational and scien- tific in the treatment of nephro- sis (any kidney disease). But the earlier conception, that any
 form of bright's disease was an
 indication for restriction of pro-

If you want to earn the ever lasting gratitude of husband or grown-up son, equip his bedroom chest of drawers with the right sort of twin lamps.
 The kind, that is, which won't make him scowl, when he turns them on to brush his hair. .. Whose light won't hit him only under the chin but, instead, will give an even amount of light all over his countenance.
 There are ways and means of telling when these lamps are up to snuff. Aside, that is, from the con- tentment of the user!
 Yard Stick, Please
 Study the lamps some evening with your husband, son or brother standing in front of the mirror.
 Are the shades on . level with his face? They should be. If they're not, you might as we'll get out your tape measure, pronto!

When one whom you have en-
trusted with the affairs of a public
office for number of years appeals
to you to re-elect him, feel that
you have a right to expect of him
an accounting of his stewardship;
something of his official conduct;
his qualifications; his ability to
handle the business Of the office
and perhaps something OF his CIVIC
activities in the community
This 1 have endeavored to do
through the newspapers and circu-

of San Diego County at that time;
and in the establishing of the
county seat at Ell Centro.

There will be great choruses Of

golden toned organs and quaint

Upwards of $4,000 was expended
on the wardrobe used in the coiOs-
sal pageant. It is presented in a
series of radiant visions, vast ta-
bleaux and moving spectacles of
iridescent splendor. Yet forming
but a single feature of the circus.

SPARTANS SHOW UP EXCELLENTLY
in BEATING CALEXICO 10 TO 6

In a game featured by an out
| standing exhibition of blocking
on the part of the Spartan line
men and backs, Central Unicn took
a 1876 decision from the Calexico
Bulldogs last night on the Calexico
gridiron. The game was filled with
excitement from gun to gun and
kept the large number of fans on
edge until the curtain was dropped
on the final quarter.
Spartan rooters in particular are
filled with praise for the sterling
defense and offense put up by the
local team last night. With the line
functicning perfectly and a college
brand of interference given the
bali carrier on almost every ocas-
sion, the fleet Lambeth. Wagon
er and Fox toted the pigskin for
long gains. In only one depart
ment of the game did the Central
team show weakness and that
was in kicking.
Another feature of last nights
game was that it is marked up as
one Of the cleanest games played
between valley teams in many
moons. The Spartans drew but
three penalties: one for holding,
another for backfield in motion
and one for offside a total of 25
yards while the Bulldogs were set
back yards on one offside pen
atty.
Andrade of Calexico was the out
standing player on the field ex-
ceiling in punts, tackling and run
ming the ball. For the Spartans
Bush merits special mention for
his blocking which paved the way
for the many long runs OF the
other Spartan backs. Lambeth,
Wagner and Fox carried the ball
for consistently long gains aided
by the powerful offense of the line
and the excellent interference given
each ball carrier.
In the line while every Spartan
played brilliantly, Dilbeck and Fur
bass were exceptional both on Of
fenSe and defense.
The Spartans scored their first
touchdown in the opening quarter
and held this advantage at half
time. In the third period the Spar
tanS again crossed the Calexico
goal line and made good on the
conversion making the score 1870
in their favor. With this handi-
cap against them the CaleXicans
came to life with a vengeance and
by means of long pass put the
ball in scoring position from which

CAME TOPS
FOR TODAY
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Oct. 27. = Topped
by the Army-Yale classic, an even
dozen momentous regional battles
headlined todays bang-up mid-sea-
son program of 220 football games.
Each of the II encounters had a
direct bearing on the nations five
big races for sectional champion
ships.
More than 10000 fans, largest
crowd of the season thus far, were
expected at New Haven for the
traditional meeting between the
Ellis and Cadets.
In the other outstanding east
ern brawl, the unbeaten Holy Cross
crusaders were assigned to repel
the invasion of Colgate at Wor-
cester, Mass.
Dixie saw the hottest and prob
ably the most significant fighting
of the day. In the southeastern
conference, Alabama faced Georgia;
Tulane tangled with Georgia Tech,
and Vanderbilt tackled Louisiana
State. Duke opposed Tennessee in
an interconference struggle.
Two unbeaten Big Ten contenders
and an undefeated aspirant for
Big Six honors saw action in the
midwest. In the Big Ten, unbeaten
Minnesota met strong Iowa, and
undefeated Illinois stacked up
against formidable Nebraska.
On the Pacific Coast two big
conference games stood out. I'm

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. q. -
Who? Army and Yale
What? Football.
When? Today.
Where? The bowl
Why? 10000 customers at three
bucks head.
Now that I've done my reperto-
rial duty and given you enough
facts to satisfy even a school OF
journalism dean, hope you will
bear with me while l try to figure
cut what is going to happen when
Soldier meets Bulldog and vice
versa.
If do happen to hit upon the
answer I will be unique in New
Haven for the thousands gathered
here for the game, not one-and
that goes for both coacheS-haS
announced his platform. Right now
the streets are filled with gents
waving fistfuls of serious money
and yelling that they'll take the
team they don't want. They had
few takers, and the few took no
chances. At Thirty-fourth and
Chapel they plunged five on Army
and at Thirty fifth and Chapel
they coppered with quid on Yale.
Determined to get my public gen.
uine feed-boX information, l asked
10 v fY
lieutenant who head coaches Army
what he thought OF Army's chances
Lieutenant Davidson said he didn't
dare think, and that even if he did
dare, his thoughts wouldn't be
worth much, being as Army had
been punching the light bag all
season.
Our four games have been
against teams too weak to bring our
defects to light" he said. I'VE look
ed pretty fair against Washburn,
Davidson and that sort, but Army
may have men in the starting line
up who will be unable to take it in
first class company I only hope
Yale doesn't put couple of touch
downs over before we find it out"
The Yale coaching staff feels the
same way about the Bulldogs.
Against Columbia in the opening
game of the season, they look help
less. They were anything but man
eaters against Pennsylvania. But
last Saturday they licked Brown 81
to 0, running wild with a beWil-
deIing passing game. Normally, a
team that kicked Brown by that
many touchdownS, would be hailed
as red-hot, but Browns line is
weak, and the Bulldog passerS were
never rushed. How they'll fare in
the face OF a hitting, quick
charging forward wall, is something
else.
Our guess is that Army will win.
We guess this way largely because
Army has a young gentleman
named Jack Buckler carrying the
mail. Buckler hasn't been SO hot
SO far this fall but those who know
him aren't worried. Jack happens
to be one of those athletes who
can't get interested until the going
gets tough. Against set-ups he
can outloaf any six backs you know.
But when the chips are down, the
money is riding, he can go. And
In the right direction, too.
