Southwest Is Now
Football Stronghold

Following the South, the wild wave
of enthusiasm brought great football
teams to the west coast. A man named
Henderson, who coached Southern Cal
ifornia, and has since been forgotten,
did more to stimulate interest in the
sport on the coast than any Of the
famous men that have succeeded him.
Now we come to the Southwest.
When S. M. U. and Louisiana State,
which is considered southwestern
team, although it is in the Southern
conference, stepped out and showed the
way, it didn't take long for Texas
Christian, Texas u, and Texas A. and
M. to fall in line. This is the sizzling
hotbed of football of the nation today
and, with the Texas Centennial going
on this year, it should be even hotter.
Incidentally, Manhattan, the college
that always meets team on it's rise,
will be down there to play Texas A.
and M. in the closing game Of our
schedule, after which, if conscious,
will be able to tell you much more
about football in the Southwest.

Foods Which Spur the Gas.

Be Avoided.

GAS I am suffering with hyper.
acidity of the stomach, l would ap-
preciate list of foods which are
antacid. Also what fruits and vege-
tables contain vitamin c, as / can
not drink orange juice, nor eat raw
fruits or vegetables" so writes a
reader. A well-known food expert
has the answers.
Hyperacidity is often caused, not
by an oversecretion of hydrochloric
acid in the stomach, but by slow
passage Of food through the stom-
ach. In this case the natural acid
becomes concentrated and the re-
suit is irritation in the lining of the
stomach. Acid foods and foods
which stimulate the flow of the gas
trio juice must be avoided. For this
reason the diet must be low in meat
and condiments. Sweets are irri-
tating and alcohol must be avoided.
Foods with large amount of fiber
such as whole cereals and raw vege-
tables cannot be well taken.
Vitamin C Important.
It is possible, however, to get
plenty of vitamin G in the diet
through the use of cooked apples,
very ripe or cooked bananas or pears,
sweet cherries, grapes and vege-
tables of mild flavor such as pota-
toes, peas, squash and carrots. Some
persons can take PURGE of spinach,
but others find it irritating because
of the oxalic acid which it contains.
Some people are able to take the
juice of very sweet oranges.
Because digestion is slow and
because roughage cannot be taken in
the form of raw fruits and vege-
tables, mineral Oil or agar is usual
ly recommended in order to hasten
the passage Of food through the
stomach. Water. which stimulates
the flow of acid, should be used in

Pure Iron Unknown

Although about 7OO,0OO,000 tons of
iron are in use in the United States,
not an ounce Of chemically pure iron
has ever been produced, states writer
in the New York Herald Tribune. If
the production Of a quantity Of pure
iron could be accomplished, a revolu-
ton in the iron and steel industries
would be likely to result from its In
vestigation. The properties Of pure
iron are unknown and are merely
guessed at on the basis of samples of
high degrees of purity. The purest
samples produced show unusual prop
critics. Those made by methods used
for determining the atomic weight Of
iron, by publication in a hydrogen
fame. are immune to rust. Even when
placed in pure water and oxygen for
several months they showed no sign
Of rusting.

BY John G. Jackson

Cities throughout the country are be-
coming aware of the fact that many
of the prominent competitors of today
are drawn from the ranks of public
links golfers and are Fastening to COM
plete bigger and better public courses
such as the one at Bethpage State park
in Farmingdale, L. l., where the ma
tional championship is to be played.
Not only are the courses being i'm
proved-and they can stand it-but the
accommodations for the players. taking
the form of more commodious club
houses, are also being bettered.
This development of public links golf
is bound, in an extremely short time, to
react to the benefit of private clubs and
the game of golf itself. Youngsters,
now unable to stand the tariff OF pri-
waite club membership, are getting a
sound grounding in the game, one that
will stand them in good stead when,
they can afford to join a club.
The growth of public links is merely
another indication that the game is
ever growing, never static. 1t is i'm
proving and developing from year to
year, with promising youngsters con-
tinually popping up into the headlines
to serve as a spur to other youths.

Golf Attendance
Ruled by Talent

We have found, in the past, that
golf attendance is ruled more by the
caliber of the competition than by the
location of the tournament. As the
outstanding example of that principle,
I can best refer to the case of Bobby
Jones. When Bobby was in his prime,
he could jam the galleries and make
the marshaIs' work nightmare no
matter where he was playing. There's
no one today, in either pro or amateur
ranks. comparable 20 him as drawing
card.
The average golfer probably does not
realize just how much tournament re-
ceipts mean to golf and the United
States Golf association. In proof offer
figures from recent report of the
executive committee, which show that
over period of nine years net dis
bursement of 50 per cent of the dues
paid by member clubs was devoted to
the work of the green's section.

Remedy for Acid Condition
Is Matter of Careful Dieting

moderation at meal time and taken
frequently in small amounts between
meals. Mild cheese, eggs, fish and
chicken in small servings, and milk,
cooked, refined cereals, besides the
foods already mentioned, may be
used. In very severe cases milk
and cream diet is sometimes given
for short time. Cream as well as
other fats inhibits the flow of acid.
Cream soups of mild flavor are usu-

TALL TALES
g
AS Told to:
FRANK E. HAGAN and
ELMO SCOTT WATSON
A Tribute to the Master


IT MAY be news to some that Baron
Munchausen, champion liar Of all
times, was a real person who really
did exist. (No foolinO.
The real Baron Munchausen was
born in 1920 in the little town Of
Bodenwerder on the Weser river, Ger
many. Like other German youths of
his day he served as an officer of the
Russian army against the Turks. Re
firing at the age of thirty, he returned
home to live and to talk.
The baron's delightful conception
of a talk was to seat himself at a
generously supplied table and relate
his fabulous adventures to a charmed
circle. All his tall tales were about
himself; most of them concerned also
his famous horse.
Once he almost lost the horse. Rid
ing over snow at night, the Baron,
so he said, hitched to what seemed to
be a post. He went to sleep and, on
awakening, found the snow melted and
his steed hanging by the bride from
a church steeple!
The old home town of Bodenwerder
has erected a monument in memory
of its most distinguished son. The
monument shows Baron Munchausen
seated on his famous half-a-horse, the
latter drinking at fountain but un-
able to quench its thirst because all
the water ran away.
The baron didn't know 1t but the
sturdy horse had been cut in two by
a falling portcullis as his master rode
hastily into a besieged town.
