~ ES MONIES, Iowa, April "a
Archie San Fomani, the
genial little Kansas Italian,
and four picked middle-dis-
tance stars drew the spotlight at the
Drake relays today as the Midwest's
greatest track and field carnival swung
INTO its second day.
San Romani, heir apparent to tho
mile crown worn by fellow Kansan,
Glenn Cunningham, set his sights on
a new world mark for the mile and q
half in race against the select
quintet.
He hoped not only to defeat the
sensational Texas Rideout twins,
Wayne and Blaine Floyd Lochner Of
Oklahoma, jim Whitaker of Ohio
State, but also to wipe out the 12-year-
old mark of 6:42.5 set by Paavo Nurmi.

CODE TO CONTROL
HANDICAP MEETS
Laws for PIay-off of Ties,
Penalty Provisions Are
Made More Drastic.
BY w. r. McCALLJTM.

n 70 MORE will there be haphaz-
M ard handicapping or interpre-
tation of rules in tournaments
sponsored by the Women's
District of Columbia Golf Association.
The girl friends, proceeding farther
along the lines of sound administra-
tion of their golf affairs, have drawn
up code of rules providing for
handicapping according to the United
States Golf Association system and
for play in all tournaments.
Briefly, the new rules cover the fol-
lowing points: Each player must have
District Golf Association handicap,
United States Golf Association rules
will prevail, ties for the winner of any
trophy in handicap tourney shall be
decided by an l8-hole handicap play
OH over the same course within five
days of the tieing day, with the hour
Of the play-otf to be arranged by the
Tournament Committee chairman.
Mrs. K. S. Giles of Indian Spring; ties
for other prizes will be drawn, ties for
last place in any flight must be played
80 A%tAA'ANNiANNiJ' ain o1ly PAdyCI llluS
tied who leaves the club before the
play-of shall forfeit her right to the
upper flight; in case of tie in a play
of nine-hole play-off shall be held
II the handicaps are the same, any
entrant more than 10 minutes late
without a valid excuse shall be dis
qualified, qualifying rounds for all
tournaments shall be played in three
somes, whenever possible.
Adequate Rules Enforced.
IN PAST years the tournaments
have been more or less run by
the rule of thumb method, but now
the feminine divot-lifters have q
definite and fixed code, as BELTS an
organization that has grown so fast
in the last six or seven years, Today
a tournament with less than 100 en-
tries is rare, and a code of rules to
cover such affairs was needed.
In addition to the tournament rules
a set of rules covering team matches
has been adopted, providing that cap
talnS must provide team line-ups,
that each team member must have a
handicap card and that in case a play
er defaults her team automatically
loses y points, with the other Ia
points to be played for in a twosome
HandicapS are to be based on uni
form yardage as adopted by the
United States Golf Association Wom-
ems Committee, and upon the five best
dated and attested scores made under
the U. S. G. A. rules.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
When I tell you my trousseau
was half finished and I firmly
expected to marry A. In two
months time, and then met an.
other man who completely
changed my feelings toward "ly
fiance, you will think I am
tickle.
A. is only five years older than
I am, but seems much more than
that. He has charming man.
ners and is a fine, well-educated
gentleman, who will always be
good to his wife and see that she
has everything. At a dance I met
z, as I shall call him, and the
moment we danced together, it
seemed all over for A, as far as
was concerned.
I've GWo-Clmeo A, gone Ou6

happy time, but I don't think
either of us cares deeply for the

him how things are, and when
I'm not with or expecting phone

WurSdAy'S Beauty Counsel
By Donna Grace

Every reducing routine must
include a restricted diet, ana
for the average person this will
be quite enough, along With the
necessary exercise. There are'
however, few women who seem
TO retain local fat at the hips
and bust even when the rest OF
the body is in good proportion.
The bust takes a certain kind OF
reducing exercise that should
never include the deep massage
and manipulations that may be
given safely to other parts OF the
body.
When it comes to vigorous
movements we do not spare the
back nor the hips. They may
be massaged with a heavy hand
and are all the better for the
stimulation and breaking up OF
the sluggish fat cells, but the
delicate construction Of the BUST
which is made up of glands and
soft tissue, will not permit any
vigorous rubbing. Neither should
there be any severe restriction
such as may be caused by tight
hrassieres and bands. Some ma
nipulation is recommended, ana
then there are lotions and exer-
cises especially safe and eftec-
tive for these parts.
Deep breathing is essential
whether one desires to reduce or
develop the bust.
Swimming is an ideal exercise
for flat chests, and when one
holds the correct position riding
will also help to give the chest
the beautiful contour so des1r.
able in the feminine figure.
There are a number of girls
of, the teen age who are likely
tc be distressed over the lack OF
chest development, but. with a
few exceptions, they are never
fully developed until they are at
least 20 years of age. So there
is no need to be alarmed until
one is past 20.
There are some exercises and
gentle messages, as well as
soothing applications, that
should be used to encourage the
retarded development, and GER
