This may have been jibe at sports
reporters who for two years had
written their arms of" on the hard
playing Belgian, but although the
young fellah laughed there was
hint of irrepressible resentment.
A Monotonous Theme.
THE Leemans tune on the type
writer got to be a sing-song even
to those who played it and to some of
the members of the G. w. team it
must have become firing. Anyway.
the monotonouS laudationS of one
player hardly affected favorably the
morale of his bruised mates.
Thus it may be that George Wash
tngton in losing a sterling individual,
gained enough in whole-hearted team
spirit to compensate greatly for the
absence of him.
The G. w. team of 1886 is as much
Of puzzle to its coaches as to any
one who has watched the Colonials
regularly in the last several years.
I'VE may be good, we may be awful"
the coaches say in effect, but none
of them seems really pessimistic.
Ever since Jim Pixlee came to George
Washington. his material has been
overrated. None of the Pixlee teams
has been two deep in strength. In
nearly all their games the Colonials
have been without dependable sub
stitutes for injured key men.

melody. So have we, and so it
was a great relief to US when David
", who used to work in Hollywood,
told US about it.
1t seems that several years ago
Laurel and Hardy We're looking for
song to use as signature to
their short comedies. 1t had to
be crazy tune, and one that
wasn't too popular. They looked
high and low for one, talked to
musical experts and went through
old files in music stores. But none
could be found that seemed just
right.
They were about TO give up when
one day Laurel was listening to the
radio and heard a tune that
sounded just like a lot Of cuckoos
cuckooing. That was it-just the
thing! Without waiting to find
out what station was broadcasting,
Laurel phoned Hardy and told him
of his find. He even hummed
and tata'd it over the phone, and
Hardy was SO impressed that he
even laughed at the secondhand
rendition of the song.
They decided to get it, but where :?
Laurel didn't know what station
had broadcast il, pot even knowing
where the dial had been set. The
only thing to do was to look up the
complete programs Of every station
broacasting at the hour Stan heard
the tune. It was let Of work but
they finally found out where the
tune had originated.
1t had been sung by quartet.
And when Laurel and Hardy con-
tacted the quartet they were given
a shocking surprise. They were
told that the autl1or Of the song
was none other than the musical
director of their own studio!

TndaN'S Recine

ROAST COOS Choose a
goose with yellow bill, for the
old birds have red bills. The feet
of the goose should be soft, fat and
yellow. If the legs have soft down,
the bird is young. Geese live to be
very old, and an old goose can be
unbeliovably tough, so choose 1t
with care. Scrub the bird thor
ougllly with soda water, one tea
spoon soda to one quart water
and soap. This will help remove
some of the fat. Rinse carefully
and dry. Rub the bird inside and
out with salt mixed with some
sweet marjoram, little sage and
thyme. The usual method of cook
ing a goose is ito roast it. Steam
ing is only done when the bird is
old. However, if you wish to steam
the fowl, put it in the top of the
steamer, over boiling water, cover
closely and steam one to two
hours. Remove from steamer,
dredge with flour and roast the
rest of the time. Set the goose on
rack in the roaster, as the fat
will permeate the bird if this is not
done. Place in a very hot oven,
500 degrees for 20 minutes, or un-
til the flour starts to brown. Re-
duce the heat to moderate, 375,
and roast at this temperature the
rest of the time. Allow 20 min
utes per pound for roasting time.
If the goose has not been steamed
and is an Old one, allow 25 min
utes per pound roasting time.
Baste with hot water every IL
minutes. After each basting dredge
lightly with flour. This will abb
sorb some of the excess fat. When
the bird is done, remove from the
roaster, add one cup water to the
liquid in the pan and thicken with
Drowned flour if necessary. Some
like to pour orange juice over the
bird just before removing from
the roaster.

Exercise Is Anuppr to Mans
Uyee to Be Slender Like Gable
Ey JULIET SHELBY
Central Press Writer on Beauty


OVER IN Serbia, I am told,
peasant women still practice a GUS
tom that originated back in the
days Of magic and wizardry. They
take copper coins, wash them in
wine. and then give their husbands
the liquid to drink. They believe
that this will make the average
husband blind to his wife's appear
ance.
Personally, l think that it is the
wife who could often use a bit of
this beverage, so that she would
become blind to the appearance OF
her husband. For some men per-
nit their physiques to deteriorate
to such an extent that they are
anything but pleasing to the eye!
Of course, a man doesn't actual
ly have to possess the brawny
shoulders and slender waist of a
Clark Gable, or the perfect
physique of a Johnny Weissmuller
to look the answer to a maiden's
prayer. But no man can really
expect to be the apple of any fe-
males eye if he allows himself to
become fat, flabby and thick
wasted.
Men who have permitted them
selves to become fat, pudgy and
fiabby generally have to observe
some dietary restrictions, if they
wish to lose their excess pound
age. They cannot possibly expect
to lose weight if they continue to
overindulge in the wrong sort of
foods. In addition to dieting,
exercise also is important. Dieting
alone won't take away that fiabbi-
ness and help to toughen a mans
muscles. It takes exercise to
mold the body and make it firm,
1.-THE and supple.
The average man seldom re-
ceives as much exercise as he
should. There are numerous GYM
nasiums where man may indulge
in sportive exercises. And there's
no reason why man can't do
some exercising in the privacy of
his home. The following are most
effective:
Lie fiat on the floor on your
stomach, elbows bent, hands under
The chest and palms fiat on the
Gcor. Next, keeping your knees
Igtiff and your body straight, slow
ly straighten your arms and raise

Poems That Live
SONG TO THE EVENING STAR

SONG TO THE EVENING STAR
Star that bringest home the bee,
And sett'st the weary laborer free!
If any star shed peace, It's thou
That send'st it from above,
Appearing when Heavens breath
and brow
Are sweet as hers we love
Come to the luXuriant skies,
Whilst the landscapes odors rise,
Whilst far-off lowing herds are
heard
And congs when toll is done,
From cottages whose smoke un-
stirred
Curls yellow in the sun.
Star of loves soft interviews,
Parted lovers on the muse;
Their remembrancer is Heaven,
Of thrilling vows thou art,
Too delicious to be riven
By absence from the heart.

How Santa
Claus Is
Explained
Psychologist Declares
Parents Can Be
Truthful
DR.. GARRY C. MYERS, PHI. ID.
Head Department Parent Education,
Cleveland College, Western
Reserve University


MANY PARENTS are puzzled
over the matter of Santa Claus,
a woman's page editor writes:
Dear DR.. Myers: Many of your
readers in this paper would ap-
precate it if you would include in
your column some Santa Claus in
formation. Should children be
taugir1 to believe in him? If they
have been so taught, when and how
should they be told differently ?"
/ answered these questions re-
Gently, but 1 am happy to do so
again. For the young child with
parents who understand him and
have good imaginations them
selves, Santa Claus is psychologi-
cally sound. He fits into the
Youngsters normal life of make
believe. We don't need to teach
Santa Claus to the toddler. We
can lust take Santa Claus for
granted, and the little child will,
too.
SO we did in our home with our
children. AS soon as each, in turn,
about the age of five or six, asked
us whether Santa were a real per-
son, we frankly answered he was
not, but that we were playing that
he was. And then we went on so
pretending with the child as long
as he chose to do so. After the
eldest was disillusioned, we asked
him whether we should "tell' sis
ter. mo, no." he shouted, and he
went on playing there was Santa
Claus, and hanging up his stock
ings. Years after she finally grew
wise, we asked both children to-
ge.her whether the baby seven
years younger than the sister
should be told. "Oh, no." they
yelled in concert. at means so
rauch to him, so much fun" And
they kept on dramatizing Old
Saint Nick and appeared to have
as much fun at it as the Baby
Brother Don't you and 1 still like
to lose ourselves in story or a
drama?
Is 1t Wholesome:
The youngest now is IA. We
have asked all of them whether
our way of pretending there was
Santa Claus was wholesome. Every
one is sure it was and sure, more
over, that his or her children will
enjoy Santa Claus.
But some educators would ami
hilate Santa Claus and fairies,
too! Some conscientious parents
consider Santa Claus as gross de-
cepton of the child. Perhaps so,
in the instance where parents have
deliberately forced belief in Santa
Claus upon the child past the time
when this myth did not fit into the
childs way of thinking. If, when
your child asks whether Santa
Claus is real person, he is an
swered unreservedly Yes" the
damage to him and your relation
ships with him may be grave.
Answer truthfully when he asks.

Are
Parts Of
the Skin
Cells Are Modified
and Form Horny
GrowthS
By LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. d.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, Nj. ID.
THE NAILS are regarded by
comparative anatomists as modi-
fed parts of the skin. Just as the
hair is, just as feathers and scales
and claws and, in some cases,
horns are. Sometimes horny
warty growth will grow frcm tic
skin surface and be just as hard
and tough as nails, SO it is easy
to see that the upper layer of the
skin can be modified in this way
If you examine 4 section Of rail
cut across, you sec that it docs, in
deed, rise directly from the skin
itself. not from underneath Tie
skin as it appears to OF cc1ual in
spection. The groove from which
the nail grows is simply a turned
in fold of the skin.
At the bottom of the groove Ger
tain cells from the corium of the
skin become modified, and are
known as the matriX, or mother OF
the nail. 1t is by continual division
of the matriX cells that the nail
grows forward.
The white crescent at the base
of the nail, the lunula, is simply
due to lessened transiucency al
that part. Some people do not
have lunulae. Their presence or
absence is of no significance to
health, although some people think
if you have them on the little fin
ger it means a rich husband.
Spots Due TO Air
The little white spots, known as
gift spots. in the nails, are due to
small collections of air in the in
terror of the nail substance.
The rate of growth Of nails diff
fers in different people, in different
climates and in different seasons.
The finger nails grow faster than
the toe nails, and those on the
right hand faster than those on the
left.
The average growth of nail is
201a inches year. So we grow a
little over II yards of nail a year
all over our bodies. If the bone OF
an extremity is broken, the nails
of that limb grow less rapidly than
its mate-the toe or hand, as the
case may be.
The nails respond to disease else
where in the body-just as the eye
lacks luster and the hair falls out
in some diseases, so do the nails
vary in their growth. When gen.
eral disease affects the body, the
blood supply to the nail matriX is
lessened, and the nutrition of the
nail all across its growing edge is
poor. Hence a transverse ridge in
dicating where the thinner nail oc-
ours appears. These ridges were
first described by Beau in 1870, and
are known as "Beau's lines, They
have even been observed after an
attack of seasickness.
The Sherlock Holmes of the sick
room sometimes astonishes his pa
tient by saying before a question
is asked: 81 see you had a severe
illness about two weeks ago" He
has simply observed Beau's lines
and calculated the growth of the
nail. Elementary, my dear Wat
son.

your body from the floor. Then
slowly lower your body to the floor
again, and repeat.
Stand erect, right foot extended
two feet in front of the left, arms
extended upward. Then, keeping
your knees and elbows stiff, bend
at the waist and try to touch the
floor in front of your right toe.
After this, reverse the exercise,
extending your left foot forward.
Lie on your back on the floor,
arms at the sides. Then bring
your knees up to your chest and
rotate your legs forward in circles,
alternating them in bicycle-riding
fashion. This exercise is even
more effective if you can raise your
body so that its weight is on your
shoulders, supporting your back
with your hands.

Christmas
Gift for
Boy Friend
Give From the Heart
What You Can
Afford
BY VIRGINIA LEE

THE GREAT puzzle for a good
many girls at Christmas time is
what to get for the boy friend. You
see, the girls don't know what the
boys are going to give them, and
while they don't want to bankrupt
themselves, they want to give him
something nice, too, if he is plan
ming on a pretty swell present, SO
as not to look like what my friend,
DR.. Myers, the psychologist, calls
"pestering parasites.
The odd part of it is in this mod
ern day that the girls feel embar-
rassed if they give the boys eX-
pensive presents and the boy friend
crashes through with something
not so costly. In that case both
feel like dogs, as the saying is.
And why should they? Give what
your heart and purse dictate. Don't,
my dear girls, give BECAUSE the
boy friend is going to give you
something very swell indeed, but
give him what you think he. would
like and what you can afford Il
suppose l should have put it the
other way around) no matter what
he gives you.
AS for PU IL L E d CORRE-
SPONDENT, this goes for you, too,
but why not send the young man
you write of something typical of
your part of the country, as he
has been sending you souvenirs of
his? A lively book about the his
tory of your community? That
might be just the thing. Or some
thing like gloves, slippers, cap, or
some other not too intimate article
of wearing apparel quite typical
Of your town or state?

MUSIC, AS you all know, has
a great effect upon listeners. And
since the advent of the talking
pictures, Hollywood has capital
ized on that fact, supplying tunes
for pictures that help get the
audience in the proper mood to
see what they are seeing.
Most appropriate of all these
film songs, we think, is the sigma
ture tune for those funny Laurel
and Hardy comedies. Remember
It? 1t goes tie ia te Ia, te Ia te ia,
Ia te tub, Ia te Ia tub, etc. Of
