FLYING
BY CONRAD NJ. JENNINGS
 Maruuctte Track Coach

One of the most interesting and exacting events of a track meet Is ehe Quarter-mile, or 440-yard run. 1t is interesting because it offers spectators the flash of speed of a wprinter, and exactting because 1t hemands the utmost stamina of q runner to dash at breakneck speed mnor0 than four times the distance of the century.
 The 40 really is not a run; it's . sprint. When Ben Eastman broke the world record in 46.4 seconds, he ran his first 220 in 21.4 and his second in 25 fiat. It is said that his best time in the 220 before that demonstration was 21.6 sec 0nds.
 A champion quarter-miler like Eastman or Ivan Fuqua of Indi- ana must have the speed of a eprinter. Eastman, who always was c front runner, ran his first fur long at least three seconds mas keh than his second.
 i. --ithough I am not one to criti- kize a champion, think that the 6rst 22O yards in a quarter mile race should not be run more than one or two seconds faster than the last. This brings q more bal anced pace, and provides reserve Gor a better sprint at the finish.
 The early-season training of khe 440 man should consist of eogging and over-distance work to Gone up the leg muscles and CO., erdinate heart and lung action.
 After the athlete is in condition. et is advisa ble never to run over aistance. The longest assignment give to guarter-milers during the running season is 300 yards. lay much stress on starts and sprints, and order considerable work on bace and timing over the furlong. 1Copyright, 1885, NEA Service, Incl

AMERICAN HOCKEY DEAGUE
 MAY INCREASE MEMBERS

Kansas City, Mo. (UP).-The American Hockey association, now on a four team basis, will boast six teams next winter if w. F. Grant, president of the circuit, is successful in his efforts this sum mer to line up two more cities that will support the ice game.
 Grant contends, and the other team owners agree, that the pres ent set-up of Kansas City, St. Louis, Tulsa and Oklahoma City does not present enough variety to hold fan interest over a 4s-game schedule.
 Des Moines, Wichita and Omaha have considered getting into the IcagGa, but Grant says Indianapolis and Louisville promoters have dis llayed keen interest in the pos- abilities of an fee franchise and that these two are more likely to join the league.

Invitations
And Fashion
AtWeddings
BY EMILY POST.

hEAR MRS. POST: l am to be
~ married soon and there will be
a small dinner served in hotel for
only members Of my immediate family
and those of my fiance's. The only
child in both families is his sisters,
who is years old. Must invite her?
1 would not for anything offend my
future family-in-law"
Answer-Since children are always
included at weddings but not neces-
sarily at dinners, I think you would
better ask her mother whether or not
she would like to bring her.
Dear Mrs. Post: At a reception
where there will be a separate bridal
table, must the flower girl, aged 8, be
seated with the rest of the brides
attendants, or may she be left with
her parents?"
Answer-Young children who take
part in the procession are usually left
with their parents or other children
at the reception.
X X
Dear Mrs. Post: I'm not wearing
bridal clothes; therefore know that
I should have only one attendant.
But I have only two sisters (twins)
and I would like to have both of them.
Would this be proper?"
Answer-Strictly speaking. no. But
under the circumstances, you may
perfectly well have your sisters walk
together.
Dear Mrs. Post: 1 know it is con-
sidered polite to send the grooms
family invitations to our wedding.
But if the invitations are to be hand
written, how is theirs worded since
have asked them verbally and they
live close by?"
Answer-Under these circumstances
no other invitation is necessary.
Dear Mrs. Post: Why is it that you
never suggest white linen suits for
the groom and his attendants at hot
weather weddings? Are they in bad
taste?"
Answer-I never suggest all white
suits because, while not in bad taste
in a tropical climate. they are not
in best taste in a colder one. At
very simple wedding in the country in
Midsummer and Gu a hot day, they
would be quite all right.
Dear Mrs. Post: My flances best
man has just told US about his secret
marriage. which will be announced
before our wedding. Since we are
having a wedding for only the imme-
diate families and wedding party,
must I include his wife under the
circumstances"
Answer-You really must include
the wives (and husbands) Of all mar
ried attendants.

lust what is acne and what can
be done to cure it? These two
questions appear time and time again
question is, How long must I keep
up my local treatments and attention
to diet in order to be permanently nd
of the blemish?"
Acne is the scientific name for
pimples and 1t covers a number of
different kinds. Some have pus and
blackneads in them, others do not.
Some are very sore and infamed.
Color varies from light red to violet.
There is great difference in size also,
some becoming relatively large abb
scesses. Acne is a disease of the skin
that Is encouraged by an oily con-
dition. Acne roSacea is a chronic In
flammatory condition with consider
able redness, swelling and a network
Of dilated capillaries.
For best and quickest results the
acne patient should have a doctors
advice on diet and general health, in
addition to local treatments at home
or at beauty shop. In some cases
local cleansing treatments alone will
clear up the condition in a short
time. A change of diet from an ex-
cess Of sweets. starches and meats to
fruit and green vegetables will often
clear the skin. In obstinate cases
X-rays, mild sunburn or autogenous
vaccine treatments bring excellent re-
suits. The basis of local care consists
of keeping the skin scrupulously
clean, draining the pimples, removing
blackheadS, using antiseptic ana
astringent preparations and special
acne creams or lotions. It is usually
the oily SKIN that is affected with
acne, so that correction of this fault
frequently results in cure.
The common type of pimples (acne
vulgariS) usually begins at about IA
years of age and may last for 20 years
If not treated Systematically. The
skin becomes covered with small pits
and red spots or scars, besides being
made coarse and thick Back, shoul-
ders and chest as well as the face
may be visited with acne. The condi-
ton Is infectious. so that it is impor-
tant to use antiseptic measures when
opening and draining the pustules.
The treatment is often discouraging,
because when local care and attention
to diet are neglected there is pretty
sure to be a relapse. Those who have
this beauty problem should make up
their minds to keep up the fight
against it for years if necessary.
Soap and water cleansing Of the
skin at least twice a day is essential
in the treatment of acne. Massage
with creams should be avoided. At
this season of the year sufferers from
acne should take advantage of the an
tiseptic and drying effects of sun
baths. Mild sunburn is very helpful
in many cases. Halter neck bathing
suits give back and shoulders the
maximum of exposure to the sun.
There are also play suits with the same
healthful feature. so that you can be
modish while giving your acne q sun
treatment. When giving facial pim-
piles sun bath be sure to cover your
eyes and do not expose your skin for
more than one hour day.

Psychology

LANGUAGES of Childhood.

THERE is period extending over
- two or three years, in the life of
every bright child, which might be
called the age Of languages. The
6 or Z year old begins to entertain
you with what he calls Chinese" !"
Italian" or Indian talk"
In some cases the young linguist
merely wants to attract attention.
The one ambition in the life of most
children is to command an audience
with elders. In such cases, they are
merely trying to grow up, Very
few adults realize how little the aver
age child understands of the ordinary
conversation in the home. So chill
dren will sometimes fake language
in order to put themselves on par
with the rest of the family.
In other cases, the fake language is
q sign of social awakening in
larger sense. About the time children
begin to take up geography in the
school they begin to wonder about the
habits of peoples in other countries.
They hear something about the
strange languages of, foreign groups.
This information arouses their i'm
agination, anc they come home from
school taking" the language Of the
country they happen to be most in
terested in for the time being.

A WOMAN of 81 who doesn't like
" her looks cries: Give me
~ beauty or give me death"
4 a and offers herself as subject
for experimentation to any plastic
surgeon who will undertake to make
her face over nearer to her hearts
desire, because, she says, she would
rather be dead than homely.
Men may sneer at this woman who
is willing to risk her life If necessary
in order to be transformed into the
similitude of a movie heroine, but
women will understand her and SYM
pathize with her. because, in a way,
she expresses the greatest aspiration
how much they may deny it, women
do put good looks above every other
desirable quality that woman can
possess.
Certainly If the mythical fairy god
mother should suddenly appear and
offer to bestow upon women the thing
they most longed for in the world, 80
per cent of them would ask for beauty.
This would be true of all ages and
classes; of grandmothers and flappers,
of morons and highbrows. For the
one thing no woman is ever recon-
ciled to losing is her good looks. and
the possession of brains never makes
up to college graduate for the lack
of a peaches-and-cream complexion
and naturally wavy hair.
To attain even synthetic prettiness
women heroically 60 through tortures
that entitle them to be venerated
among the martyrs. In the midst of
plenty they endure the pangs of semi
starvation in order to keep their fig
ures slim and willowy. They gladly
go through the agony of being par
boiled and scalped and skinned alive
and pounded to pulp in the opti-
mistic belief that they will thereby at
tain pulchritude, They spend the
greater part of their time, their
money, their thoughts and their
energies in trying to preserve their
beauty II they have any, or in at
tempting to circumvent Nature and
create an illusion of good looks If
they have them not.

AND to what end, one wonders?
Why this blind and fanatical wor-
ship of beauty by women? Where, in
the phrase of the day, does it get
them? Is it so necessary to their sue
cess and happiness? Is beauty the
open sesame" that throws wide the
doors Of opportunity to a woman? Or
even assures her Of love?
I think not. I think that there is
nothing that women more over-value
than they do beauty. and that there
are a thousand qualities a girl can
have that are more valuable to her
than classical profile or violet eyes
or golden locks. I even 60 so far as
to think that great beauty is a handi-
cap rather than an asset, and that the
girl who Is merely easy on the eyes
has . better chance to get what sha
