/ do not think I would really
care to smoke, but I do not
want to be different. II you
could give me one good
reason that would prejudice me
against it, I would make 1t .
point not to"
I can give at least one good
reason against smoking, which
Is that it is expensive.
But that Is not on the health
side, except that when you are
broke you worry and that makes
you sick.
The question as put - 'Ts
smoking healthful?" - would
have to be answered in the mega
tive. But II you were to put 1t,
els smoking unhealthful?" that
would also, / am afraid. accord
ing to quite abundant re-
searches, have to be answered
enc"
There was once a standing
offer, as I remember it, Of a
reward Of $4,000 to anyone
who would prove that tobacco
IS injurious to health. The origi-
nator was an elderly lady in
Massachusetts,, who was very
much opposed to tobacco, but
who was unable to prove that
it was harmful and was too in
tellectually honest to propagan-
die against it until it was
proved. The reward never was
claimed.
AS to the question Of ath-
leticS and training, here, too, /
am Of the opinion that there
has been q great deal Of sense
less, or unfounded, prohibitions.
At the world series games I met
an old friend Of mine who
played for a year with the New
York Giants. He says he spent
all Of his time on the bench ex-
cept in practice-but he learned
q lot about baseball players.
One particular thing that
struck him, as contrasted to his
college athletics, was the COM
plete absence of training rules
among baseball clubs.
As far as can learn that still
obtains. The players don't get
drunk, but they are not always
total abstainerS. They smoke
and eat as they choose. The
only rule was that on the road
they had to be in bed by 10:3O.
The real training was to wind
and heart by the intensive prac-
tice, especially running, every
day.
It is pretty hard to expect a
group Of men to stay in strict
training" for the period Of the
entire baseball season. The foot
ball players are better off. Iiv-
ing up to a strict program Of
health rules is a little more
than human nature can stand
for any long stretch.

Don't you admire these stun

beauty and interest they bring
into this living-room and the
thrill that comes from watching
these lovely green things grow
in the house.
In our window box are tall
sansevieria, grapefruit plants,
aspidistra with its glossy dark
leaves, and graceful English ivy.
They're all plants that thrive
marvelously well. with little
care, in any window. Here you
see them growing beautifully in

have little sunlight.
You can have the pleasure OF
growing plants of some kind in
any window. whatever the ex-
posure. Just be sure there are
no drafts from poorly fitted
windows, or heat from radiators
below the windows. In fact,
there are delightful plants you
can grow anywhere in the house,
If you'll water and care for
them properly. So don't miss

brings, or the charm it will add
to your home.

salt and crumbs and enough
water to moiSten. Fill the chops
with the stuffing, fasten with
toothpickS and place in pan
with enough water to cover bot

the name on a card enclosed
with gift denotes that the gift
is from the person whose name
is enclosed.
I can't help thinking about
the generous thoughted little
girl. She apparently has a
charmingly friendly feeling for
your employer, and probably
herself planned this gift to him
to show her friendlineSs, her
sympathy for him in his illness,
and her wishes for his speedy
recovery. She was sending that
basket Of flowers from her, not
from her family.
And it is she, bless her heart,
to whom your employer should
write q note Of appreciation.
She would certainly be q sur
prised little girl, and I imagine
a disappointed little girl, to re-
ceive a note of thanks to her
and "the members of your fam
ily'' for her very own gift.

TWO Pieces Good

The silhouette is the same for
knitted sports clothes that you'll
find in others. There are many
clever two-piece costumes, and
three-piec suits with skirt,
blouse and jacket, that fit into
the football and autumn outdoor
season perfectly. They give you
the required warmth, yet are not
bulky under a coat.
It's impossible to describe the
many costumes that available,
but I am sure you'll be intrigued
if you shop for them in a good
sportswear department. You'll
be amazed at the variety in pat
terms, styles, colors and threads.
and you will decide most likely
that you must have a new knit

one already.

BEAU TY
Exercise and
Diets
By DONNA GRACE


Dear Donna Grace: My
daughter weighs too much. She
is always too fat and she is
only FL. Her weight is 2O6.
"Can she reduce with your
diet, or is It safe? She is SO
embarrassed and never wants
to go anywhere. Please let me
know what to do.
MRS. s. M"
Dear Mrs. 8. M: Your daugh-
ter is indeed overweight. She
may have a glandular disturb
ance. If her habits of eating
and exercise have been correct,
then it would be well to consult
a physician. She may need
medical attention.
However, your stat te m n t,
"She never wants to go any
where" tells me a lot. When
we recognize a disorder to the
extent Of letting it interfere
with our social or business ac-
tivity, we simply glorify it.
Going places" is the natural
right of everyone. Your daugh-
ter must go about as much as
she possibly can, and forget all
about her size. The change Of
routine, the interest in varied
things and people is the Surest
relief for a lazy mentality.
You must know that a normal
body will not increase in size
without food. BY all means
have your daughter use my diet
and exercises. It will not harm
anyone. I will be anxious to
know how well she does.
