imagine how they knew this in

In fact, the only thing that wasn't

No, that's practically like cash

One of these, for example, might

several titles to spare, and Kay
Stammers, the English gal with

a set to Joan Ingram, an English

GIRLS IN SPORT
RIDICULOUS,
SAYS SCRIBE

There is something "faintly
ridiculous" about the big.time lady
athletes.
At least that is the opinion Of
Paul calico, noted sports COM
mentator and author, in an article
in the July issue Of the Cosmopol-
itan Magazine, entitled "Mermaids
and Muscle Molls."
Why, MIR. Calico
Calico finds the feminine ath.
letes interesting but not attractive.
The golfing gals he describes as
having weathered faces, their skin
tanned and dried by sun and wind.
The tennis ladies have hard and
lumpy muscles. The track ath-
leteS he finds as flat chested and
with terrible legs. In fact, he
finds the muscle molls" to be "a
strange, almost fantastic crew. He
says:
Most Of them are Jealous,
petty, Spiteful, often bad-man-
nered; spoiled, frequently stupid,
= wretched sports, dull and self
conferred. Yet withal they are
gay and exciting, and absolutely
game. For that matter, they are
gamer than most men, bear pain
and discomfort better, and when
they get their teeth into any
kind Of match 1t is something
to see.
"The greatest woman athlete
Of our time was an exceptional
person as well as great per-
former. She was Gertrude
Ederle, the delicatessen-store
prOprietOr's daughter who, on
August 6, 1925, swan the Eng
lish Channel from France to
England in Ia hours and 81
minutes, and was the first wOnl-
an ever to accomplish this feat.
mo other woman athlete In
any line Of sport has ever come
close to this performance as q
demonstration of skill, stamina,
courage and indOmitable will.
Seven British girls have since
swum the Channel, but none Of
them came within an hour of
Miss Ederle's time. And it must
always be remembered that
"Trudy" was the first. She
softened it up for the others.
EDERLE UNSPOILED
"Of all the hundreds Of girl
athletes who have attained fame
and publicity, Gertrude Ederle
was the only one / knew who
remained completely unspOiled
by publicity, aduIation and fiat
terry. Her financial affairs were
badly handled upon her return
to the United States. She was
never bitter, never complained,
was never rude or gnObbish. She
was never anything but simple,
unaSSuming, wholly lOvable per
SON. There never has been q girl
athlete like her. ~.

some of the decidedly helpful hints
given by the speaker.
On display in the club house
were several tables decorated for
various occasions: Christmas, st.
Valentines day, and others, while
one long table had several exqui-
site groups of flower arrangements
which were excellent illustrations
of the principle emphasized by the
speaker, that combinations of
flowers and leaves may be used
to advantage in original arrange
ments. A gay hued arrangement
suitable for patio or beach tables
attracted considerable attention.

years the club has been operating

peal of that emergency resolution
and substitute amendment which
makes the dues one dollar a year

CONSTIPATION CUTS
DOWN YOUR ENERGY,
DULLS HAPPINESS

Don't let common constipation
take all the fun out of living. This
condition drains your vitality and
enthusiasm. 1t may also be the
cause of dull headaches, poor appe-
tite, sleeplessness. You feel punk.
Why endure half-sick days when
you can correct constipation due to
meals low in "bulk" by eating a
delicious cereal?
Millions of people have used Kel-
logg's ALL-BRAN with satisfactory
results. Laboratory tests prove it's
safe and effective.
Within the body, ALL-BRAN alb
serbs twice its weight in water, and
gently cleanses the intestines. Isn't
this food better than taking weaken

or in recipes. Sold by all grocers.

Use of simple garden flowers
In inexpensive containers to make
original and beautiful arrange
ments was demonstrated by Miss
Helen Eadie of San Bernardino
for both the Junior and Senior
Ten Thousand clubs at their meet
ings Thursday in the club house,
the Seniors hearing her in the af-
teriloon, and the Juniors in the
evening.
Miss Eadie explained the basic
principles of flower arrangements,
beauty of line, form and color,
pointing out that expensive flow
ers and vases are not essential
for lovely designs but that effec-
tive arrangements may be made
just as well from ordinary flowers
and shrubs, and that cheap vases,
If good in design and color, are
equally as beautiful as are the
rarest containers.
Sketching the basic principles
of flower design as developed by
the Japanese, the first authori-
ties on flower arrangements, Miss
Eadie discussed the Importance of
proper flower arrangement and
the development of the Hawaiian,
the American and French schools.
Flowers Arranged
In illustration of her points she
arranged for her audiences all
sorts of exquisite designs featur-
ing dramatic line and color Aar-
mony in stylized bouquet, color
harmony in dainty pastels, q spe-
cial Christmas arrangement, sew
eral arrangements featuring leaves
instead of flowers, explaining the
principles involved and giving her
listeners many practical hints as
to possibilities in flower arrange
ments. Types of frogs, use of "gad-
gets, methods OF cutting flowers
