Ranger Wins Contest
But Gentleman Of
Georgia Steals Show

DALLAS, Tex, June Is. u.P)--
Leonard Pack, two gun ranger cap
tain and a follower of the two-finger
method in distance eXpectoration,
won the tobcaco splitting champion
ship of the southwest but a gentle
man from Georgia who didn't leave
his name won the plaudits of the
spectators.
After Pack took his three trials
and defeated Leon Friedman, mem
Der of the Louisiana house OF repre-
sentatives from Matches, the Georg-
ia gent stepped to the dias and with
fine scorn for the efforts OF Pack
and Friedman, announced that in
Georgia finger splitting was consid-
cred illegal.
I'VE do it this way" he said, and
let go with free hand squirt that
carried 18 feet and left everyone
speeches with amazement. Then

he walked away.
Captain Pack, who performed in
the Texas centennial, was pretty
chagrined, for his best effort car
ried only 13 feet inches.
I'D have done better but my fin
gers in a splint," he said. 81 had
to use the fingers on my right hand
and I'm naturally a left handed
splitter"
Friedman was last minute sub.
stitute for Louisiana's pride, Rep.
Leonard G. Spinks, who overtrained
and had to withdraw. Friedman
might have defeated Pack, but when
he came up for his third trial he
tried too hard. tightened up and

When 7 told her wanted to know
il the Vice President could cook and
what he could cook, she replied in
astonishment, "a busy man like the
Vice President cannot be bothered
with such nonsense!"
Finally she agreed. however. to ask
the Vice President If he would see me
for five minutes but said that it would
be entirely up to him as to whether
the answer would be aye of nay. The
next morning Miss Sterling said the
answer was AYE" and I hurried to
the suite of Offices in the Senate once
Building.
was waiting in the large recep-
ton room to be called into Mr.. Gar
ner's presence, when I looked up
from my book, to see standing smil-
ingly before me q pink-cheeked,
bright-eyed man. He wore light grey
suit that seemed to match his hair.
This sudden appearance and my ex-
element made me almost forget to
address him, 'Mr. Vice President"
When asked, do you know how to
cook?" he replied, eyes, can make
bread and on my fishing trips, am
the baker of the party!"
Mr.. Garner continued: Making
bread is an art in camp when you
have nothing but a skillet and hot
Goals. I make peculiar bread but
it Is very good and I've been making
it for 40 years.
II mix -four and corn meal, using
one-fourth as much meal as -four.
Stir in some baking powder and melted
lard. Mix the whole with o little
water and put it all In q skillet over
Goals. Put plenty Of Goals on top.
1t Is hard to get too much heat on
top but you must be careful not to
have too much heat beneath, a. bread
must cook slowly"
He smiled proudly and said, EVERY
body likes It,"
When inadvertently used the word
frying pan," instead Of skillet" in
repeating the directions, the Vice
President said: young lady, you must
learn the difference between q frying
pan and . skillet. A frying pan Is
a shallow pan with fiaring sides and
no top. A skillet Is deeper and has
cover. I cook my bread In q skill
let"
With smile and a friendly wave
Of his hand the Vice President bade
me good-by and was of to preside
over the Senate Of the United States.

Tipping the
DOOrrnan
Large Hotel
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: I am not ac-
customed to stopping in big hotels
in a great city and am going there
to buy my trousseau very soon. Is it
customary to tip the doorman at a
hotel, and would the type of hotel have
anything to do with the amount one
would be expected to give him?
Answer: If you merely go in and out
of the hotel on foot, you need not tip
him at all. If he calls taxis for you
and helps you in and out, or still more,
If you have car of your own parked a
little way from the door and he holds
an umbrella over your head in the rain
and opens your car door for you, you
would in the first place give him an oc-
casional quarter and in the second
place perhaps an occasional so cents.
The smartness of the hotel has less TO
do with the tip expected Of you than
the smartneSs Of your appearance and
the value of your car. But there would
be a difference, naturally, between
hotel de luxe and one of very moderate
price.
Dear Mrs. Post: Please explain again
the difference between an American
plan and European plan hotel.
Answer: American plan means so
much a day for room, including table
d'hote meals (set price for each meal,
irrespective Of how much or how little
you order). In the European plan
hotel, on the other hand, the prices
Of rooms include no food.

Strenuous
Mono Diets
And Fasts
Must Be Carefully
Outlined With Doc
tors Approval.
BY ELSIE PIERCE

AM often asked about the value Of
a milk diet or single food diet.
And invariably women asking about
the value OF such a diet will add:
So-and-So reduced so many pounds
following it.
Mono diets may prove invaluable
m some cases. However, those cases
are definitely for the physician. They
are not to be undertaken without his
consent and supervision. For that
matter, no reducing regime Gas have
already warned) should be started
without a thorough physical exami-
nation, and the approval Of ply
sician, but mono diets or drastic re-
ducing need professional guidance even
more than a general regime such as
We have outlined. The reason for
this is obvious-a mono diet seldom,
if ever, supplies the various food ele-
ments which We observed were neces-
sary to the normal functioning of the
body.
This also applies to such drastic
measures as going without breakfast,
skipping lunch or having two instead
of three meals day Certainly 1t is
unwise for any one doing hard work
to do without one meal q day. 1t is
too weakening.
Short fastS, enforced once a week,
with only clear bouillon, water, coffee,
few bran crackers, a small amount
Of fruit such as oranges, apples, etc,
are permissible. The value of such
short fasts is psychological, more than
actual. The single day sees drop Of
pound or so and the individual natu-
rally assumes Polyanna attitude to
the whole reducing course and feels"
better, too.
A word of warning, however, when
such short fasts are INDUCED in. no
exercise of any kind should be taken.
1t is easy enough to reduce by cut
ting down on ones food intake and
increasing ones exercise. But that
doesn't make for a sane, balanced re-
ducing regime.
Speaking Of exercise, the finest re-
ducing courses call for exercise TO be
undertaken regularly. However, such
exercise need not and should not be
violent. Furthermore, it should in
terest and not bore. That is why
sports such as golf, swimming and
similar exercises are splendid. They
afford real pleasure and at the same
time keep every muscle of the body
amply active. Calisthenics are good,
but usually become a nuisance and a
bore and when they do they should
be cut out for a while

Dorothy Dix Says
Joining New Matrimonial Course Takes
Marriage Out of the Guessing Game Glass

tain their husbands love. They want
to know why they should jolly their
husbands along instead of bawling
them out, and why they should keep
themselves looking young and pretty
and attractive and be interesting and
entertaining and wear themselves
out keeping their husbands perpetu-
ally vamped.
A ND the answer Is that as long as
"A a wife can keep her husband in
love with her and thinking her the
only woman in the world she not only
makes him happy, but is happier her
self, and she Is safe from the leal-
ousies and fears that tear 50 many
women's hearts to tatters. And hus-
band spends his money on her and
the children instead Of other ladies.
Anyhow, It Is heartening to learn
that college girls are taking up the
study of marriage in a serious way
and realizing that it Is more profitable
to them to learn how to run q budget
than it is to square the circle, and
that 1t is better for q wife to be able
to speak honeyed words to her hus-
band than for her to be able to con-
verse In foreign languages. The
trouble has been heretofore that girls
had to learn all of the things that
they needed to know about managing
a husband after marriage, which
made the information come too late
to do them any good, and SO there Is
no doubt that they will be saved much
grief by being taught these things in
their school days.

The Brother
And Sister
Probl e m
Apt to Prove Difficult
to Solve at
Times.
NV ANGELO PATRI.


vt DON'T expect him to let his sister
l. live in peace all the time. I've
long ago given up that dream. All I
ask is that he stop short of hating her
and affronting her in public. That is
not too much to ask of even such
little savage as he, is it?"
What did he do?"
"You see, Alvina is little vain. I
have to admit that, but what OF 1t?
Isn't he Just as bad when he gets
Jealous of her and tries to shame her
in public? Well, anyway, Alvina was
to take part in the school play, and
she wanted to be the fairy and do a
dance. The teacher said that would
be all right. Alvina was delighted.
What does her brother do?
The afternoon of the play he takes
her dancing slippers, and he smears
chewing gum on the heels and toes.
You get the idea? OF course, she is so
excited that she never looks at her
slippers. so when she comes on dancing
she can't twirl and skip and slide be-
cause her shoes stick. And right in
the most important part her slipper
comes off. He's sitting right up in
front with gang of his friends, and
haw-haws out loud and his gang with
him. Now, what do you think OF
that?
When I took him soundly to task
for 1t, he said: 'Aw, she's always show
ing of, as If she was too good for this
earth, and she's worse than I am
Then he makes long complaint about
his sister-how she plays for attention,
how she gets other people to do her
work, how she gets whatever she wants
and he only gets bawling out. I've
tried to keep peace between them, but
it is useless. The funny thing about
1t all is that if others say word
against her he is on their backs like
q splitting cat. It's beyond me"
Sisters who have brothers know
without telling they must look we'll to
their manners. Brothers are sisters
severest critics. When they find their
reproofs fall upon deaf ears, they are
likely to take their own measures OF
reform. Sticking chewing gum where
it will be most likely to cause annoy
ance might be one of those measures.
Not that I would justify such deplor-
able behavior. 1 merely explain it,
while bemoan its expressions. Broth
erly love takes queer turns in its
flights, and sisters are usually condi-
toned to them through long expert
ence. AS general thing, they do their
full share of the inciting to wrath and
retaliate promptly in kind when the
wrath is wreaked upon their own
heads.
Parents have to suffer this as best
they may while they do their brave
best to bring about understanding and
harmony. BY and by the strife ceases,
the enemies are at peace and present.
ing a united front to the rest of the
world. Few brothers there are who
have not tormented their sisters in
their affectionate concern for their
welfare.
DO want her to make holy show
of herself? If you don't want me to
stop her. why don't you do it?"
Brothers are keenly sensitive about
the public's regard for their sisters.
Much of their disciplinary effort is
misdirected, but it is none the less de-
voted and sincere. Perhaps this will
serve to explain some brotherly at
tentions that have seemed beyond ex-

The Old Gardener Says:

For some reason most of the
seedsmen wait until Midsummer
before issuing their perennial
seed catalogs. Yet with a few
exceptions, all perennials and BIZ
ennials should be sown this
month, preferably within the
next 10 days. They they will
have a chance to get well started
before hot weather comes, and
will make plants large enough to
move readily in the Autumn. 1t
is very convenient to use q cold
frame, shaded with a covering of
laths, spaced the width Of a lath
apart. Some growers like to use
cheesecloth elevated high enough
on sticks at the corners to admit
air. Lacking a frame. the
seeds can be sown in q specially
prepared seed bed in a corner of
the garden where the soil can be
made very fine and where there
is no danger Of washing when
heavy rainstorms come.
