Miss Betty Small Of.
Detroit Crowned /
Queen of Skeet.

CROWNED queen of skeet at the
second national skeet shooting
championships, held last week in ST.
Louis, Miss Betty Small of Detroit,
Mich, gave an example Of the en-
thusiasm and nerve shown by the
women shooters who gathered from all
parts of the country to participate.
During four days the sun was scarce
ly visible, and the exciting shoot-of
which decided the championship came
at twilight in rain storm.
Miss Small won the title with SO
targets out of 100. Mrs. Dan Rice
of Wheaton. Ill. dropping to second
place. Miss Abbie ingalls, of Hot
Springs. Va. last years champion.
came In third with an SO. after
shoot-of with Viola Siedof of Wich-
its. Kans.
The costumes were practical but

hem. one shooter wore bright red felt
hat and anklets, and leather cart.
ridge belt that also held personal ac-
cessories. Another chose a forest
green skirt and gay scarf to contrast
with her standard shooting jacket OF
beige cotton twill. A doeskin cardigan
with knitted waistband and cuffs was
seen with rough plaid tweed skirt. A
mixed ensemble" included clan plaid
skirt worn with single breasted tweed
jacket Stiff brimmed felt hats were
favored, and shoe styles included
ghillies, monks and classic oxfords in
dark shades of bucko.
Small gauge guns are increasingly
popular this year among women shoot
ers. A 12-gauge used to be about the
only gun seen on a skeet firing line,
but women have proved themselves
accurate shooters with light weight
guns and powder charges. Many
women now use 20gauge guns, with
ga drains of powder and 70 ounces Of
shot. In fact, Mrs. Sidney Small.
mother of this years champion and
one Of the greatest Of woman shots,
uses 20-gauge.
In Hollywood last Winter. it was
noted that Jean Harlow. Ann Harding.
Sandra Shaw, Fay Wray and the
Stone sisters. Paula and Dorothy. used
20-gauge guns. Others use l6-gauge
guns. 2la drams of powder and

Many of the woman shooters are

THERE are some general rules for
the frying of doughnuts that may
prove helpful to you:
To a 3-quart kettle, filled with one
quart Of liquid fat, allow about three
doughnuts at one time. The tempera-
ture Of the fat should be between $50
and 370 degrees Fahrenheit. If you
do not have thermometer the tenn
perature may be determined by test
ing with a one-inch cube OF day-old
bread being dropped into 1t. II the
bread browns in 40 seconds. the fat Is
ready for frying.
good way to insure the texture
and flavor of doughnuts Is to have a
wide saucepan OF boiling water beside
the kettle on the stove. AS soon as
each doughnut Is fried, dip it rapidly
in and out of the boiling water. Place
the doughnuts In a moderate oven
until they are brown and crisp. Many
cooks prefer this method TO that of
draining the doughnuts on brown or
crumpled paper.

BROCCOLI, mounds of it, Is seen
at all the stands and you'll find
1t to be one Of the vegetable buys OF
the week. The fiowerettes are firm
and green, as they should be. and
the leaves and stocks tender, because
the crop is still young. Spinach, the
large -leafed variety, Is now coming
from Texas, as is baby kale, which is
exceptionally fine. Eggplant, carrots,
baby red beets, turnips, parsnips and
small white onions for boiling, offer
q score of menu suggestions. French
artichokes and avocado pears are
plentiful and cheap. as are large
white-capped mushrooms. Okra,
endives, escarole and romaine con-
tinue to arrive in good shipments.
Tomatoes, both the hothouse and gar
den variety, are Of high grade. Water
cress and loose-leafed Boston lettuce,
snowy white cauliflower and savoy
cabbage were never better. Lima
beans are q little larger now, but
still mealy and tender. Green and
red peppers, large Idaho baking po-
tatoes. hubbard squash and large
yams round out choice list for week
end buying.

THE fish stands are bountifully

Rockfish, all sizes, from pan to baking,

marriage is that even the
I most intelligent men and
~ women entertain naive,
childlike belief in the miraculous pow
ers of the marriage ceremony to alter
the character and disposition OF an
individual and change him or her into
something entirely different from what
he or she Is by nature.
Thus 1t is a common sight to behold
a highly cultured man leading to the
altar a little Dumb Dora who has
never read a book In her life, serene
in the faith that as soon as the min
lister has mumbled . few words over
them she will become an intellectual
companion to him. We see domestic
men marrying women who loathe
cooking stoves and love night clubs.
We see ambitious men marrying lazy
slovens who have not even energy
enough to put wave in their hair or
keep their compilations clear. We see
tightwad men marrying spenders.
And we see sentimental, romantic
women marrying prosaic, practical
business men Puritans marrying
FOUNDERS and hordes OF otherwise sane
and sensible women marrying drunk
ards. gamblers, ne'er-do-wels-all VIC
tins of the superstition that there is
something mysterious and occult in
marriage that changes man and
woman from the sort of a husband

We do want.

WE MARVEL at the incompatible
w marriages we behold on every
side, We can't understand why poor,
henpecked John married Sally, whose
temper and bossy ways he had known
all of his life. Nor why Tommy Poor
married Gertrude, whose extravaganza
he must have known would keep his
nose to the grindstone. Nor why Mary
let herself in for fishing q drunkard

The explanation, Of course, Of this
queer vagary Of matrimony Is that
none of these men and women expect
ed those they married to have the
faults after marriage that they had
before. They believed that there was
some magic in the wedding ring that
would change natural tendencies and
lifelong habits, curb tempers, improve
the complexion, stop falling hair, cure
fat feet and generally make over the
party of the other part to their hearts
desire.
II, however it is an amazing thing
that any one outside Of an institute

that marriage has the power to change
others, 1t Is still stranger that we
actually believe that marriage will
change Jus, ourselves, and that after
q clergyman or justice Of the peace
has made few passes over US we will
come forth new people, with an en-
tirely different set Of characteristics.
This is why many men look upon
marriage as q reformatory institution.

beset them. but they are sure that

Tips on the Food Market
BY LUCIE EBERLY.

THE fruit stands at local markets
and stores appear to be well
stocked this week with pears-four
varieties of them-and in looking them
over we are impressed with the fact
that each one seems to have an i'm
portant role to play in our cuisine.
The good old-fashioned russets. fox
instance, that are pouring in from
nearby Maryland and Virginia, are
one of the fastest eating pears to be
had They are at their prime and are
very cheap. And those hardy keefers,
old favorites, too, are considered the
best for cooking and preserving. Small,
sweet seckels, which continue to arrive
in large lots despite the fact that it
is late for them, are also nice for eat
ing and cooking. For the fruit bowl,
however. choose the Oregon seckels.
They are much larger and more per-
feet than those We are receiving from
neighboring orchards. The Washing
ton State Bartletts, though their sea-
son is fast waning. are still good and
reasonably priced. They are rated as
the best fancy eating" and It Is well
to enjoy them while you may.

A PPLES are arriving by the bushel
"A daily. Siberian crab apples from
New York, pickings of q late crop, are
being received in record lots.
They are considered the finest crab
apples grown. You'll surely want to
spice some of them for the Thanks
giving feast. Grimes Golden, those
solid, juicy eating apples from Vir-
ginia, are at their peak. Red-cheeked
Delicious from California, as well as
nearby, are excellent. Jonathans, too,
are plentiful. These fine, crisp apples
are rated as one Of the incest all round
apples to be had. For eating or cook
ing they are unusually flavorful.
The first batch of large, firm jap
anese persimmons from Virginia have
been received. Those from California,
we learn, will be coming in soon now,
too. A few boxes Of fresh California
dates, evidently early pickings, are
seen at some Of the stands and are
reasonably priced. Tokay grapes, as
well as the tiny seedless, are at the
height of their season. A few Con-
cords are seen, but It Is evident their
day has passed.

Dorothy Dix Says
Marriage Does Not Change People-1t
Only Makes Them More So.

is married he will lose his taste for
liquor and never thirst for a highball
again, or yearn for the conviviality of
wet parties. The spender and waster
believes that marriage will sew up the
holes in his pockets and turn him into
a saver. The lazy loafer believes that
marriage will fill him with energy and
pep and make him a go-getter. The
philanderer believes that marriage will
stay his wandering feet and nail them
to his own fireside.

A ND it is the same way with women.
The virago thinks marriage will
cure her temper. The clothes-mad
woman thinks she won't be interested
in the new fashions, once she is mar
ried. The shiftless woman thinks she
will just love to work in her own house,
and so on
And in this unfounded belief in the
magic of marriage not only to change
others, but also to change themselves,
lies the great tragedy Of marriage. For.
alas, the charm does not work. There
is no virtue in the hocus-pocus. Mar
riage does not change people. 1t only
makes them more so. After marriage
the drunkard yearns just as much for
drink as before marriage. The gambler
Is just as much drawn by every game
of chance. The man who was restless
and pleasure-loving, and to whom
every fluttering petticoat was a signal
to get up and follow, finds home q
prison and wife a jailer.
The woman who loved pretty clothes
and gay times and whose feet ached to
dance cannot solace herself with. the
pots and pans, cooking dinners and
walking the baby. For we are even as
God made US, and marriage does not
change us into something else.

\h/ for coats for the Juniors
w We have quite a different
basis for making our Sc
lectionS than when buying for our
selves. Instead of looking for intri-
cate styling and the newest inspira-
tions from outstanding designers We
look for a garment that is, first Of
all. warm and cosy; we also ask that
it be young and gay as we'll, and If
it has some of the hallmarks Of the
seasons outstanding fashion trends,
so much the better.
With these thoughts in mind We
have been looking around to see just
what these little folk will be wearing
this Winter for school and for Sun
day best" and we believe that they
are going to be turned out as smartly
as their elders.
What could be nicer for the little
girl of, say or years old, than an
everyday coat made of the finest
blanket wool, with a deep, fluffy nap
that will last indefinitely If properly
cared for? These little coats are
double breasted and have raglan
sleeves, patch pockets. and come in
a variety of colors. There Is an in
verted pleat at the back for extra
fullness. One of the best things
about them is that they can be
washed just like blanket, either at
the laundry or at home, and, If care
fully done and brushed afterward,
will look like new. In fact. these coats
are made by one of the outstanding
makers Of fine wool blankets. Cum
ming little tams with chin straps are
made of the same material in match
ing colors. Such a set is real in
vestment in smart comfort for all
concerned.

BY ANGELO PATRI.

MATCHING a grandfather and
wv daddy deal with their small
son and grandson made me feel that
they were playing a game in which
they were the goblins and the child
the frightened little victim. The
men were quite unconscious Of the
\ part they were playing, but it was
quite clear to me, looking on.
Sinmie is 8. He goes to school
and does very well there. Daddy and
grandfather do not attend school, He
plays well with the other boys, gets
very dirty, tears his blouse occasional
ly, wins at marbles and counts his
gains, screeches his loudest and swats
his hardest on the base bail team.
He gets along fine until he gets to
where daddy and grandfather come
into the game. Small boys and COB
uns never did get on well together
Grandfather is home most Of the
time doing nothing except reading his
paper, listening to the radio, talking
to this one and that on the walk to
the tobacco shop. Along about half
after three he begins looking at his
watch. That young man is going
to be late coming home. You'd bet
ter do something with him. Mary.
I'm telling you
He'll come along soon, grand
father. He is playing on the lot this
afternoon"
"Humph! Here he is now. Where
did you get such dirty face young
fellow? How'd you come to tear your
shirt like that? Think your dad is
made of money, do you? Get along
In here and mind what's said to you
or Ill sort you" The whole speech
Is meaningless, but it frightens Sim
mie, upsets him. makes him mad.
Mother has trouble with him after
that.
Grandfather keeps up running
fire of suggestion and criticism until
father gets home. Then father be-
gins. Now there are two COLLINS.

to speak to him save in criticism and
fault-fnding. Too bad.

The Old Gardener Says:

Lilies, tulips and other bulbs
which are to be planted this Fall,
or which may go into the ground
q little later, will need some kind
Of protection in the colder sec
tions. March hay is particularly
suitable for this purpose. Straw
is fairly satisfactory. Peat moss
and buckwheat hulls give good re-
suits. The danger from using
leaves is that they will become
wet and then freeze, making an
alright covering. Oak and other
hardwood leaves are better than
maple leaves and others of that
kind. Excelsior Is sometimes used
as a protective mulch, but is
rather dangerous because of the
ease with which it burns.
