quette last fall often thought they were seeing double when they watched the Marquette backfield in action. And well they might, for operating against them were Art and Al Guepe, pair of identical twins.
 Art made quite a name for him. self as the receiving half of the Buivid Guepe passing combina- tion.
 The "Pizen" Pair
 A dozen or so years ago the "Pizen" twins were seeking fame and fortune in the professional boxing ring. The real name of the pair was Herman and Henry Per lick. Only their mother could tell them apart. Their manager, Nanny Schupan insisted that he could dis tinguish between them because one of the boys had gold tooth. That was discounted because, half the time, Schupan could not recall whether it was Herman or Henry who had the tooth. Nanny gen. erally evaded the issue when asked which twin was fighting by reply ing, HI. Perlick" The I'll" took care of either or both.
 The strange part of this pair was that they not only looked alike and dressed alike but they were just about on par in fighting ability. They held their own with a flock of the best lightweighs of their day, fellows like Sammy Man dell, Jackie (Kid) Berg, Tony Her rera, Armando Santiago and Ray Kizer.
 The fighting twins were nov elty-a natural peg on which am bilious promoters could hang their publicity blurbs They brought more publicity to their home town, Kala- mazoo, Mich, than the justly fam ed celery that is grown in that part of the country.
 One of these fine days you are likely to see pair of twins team ing up on one of the major league hockey teams Pittsburgh boasts a pair of forwards who rate with the best in amateur circles in Cross ley and Colin Sherwood, twins.

Dorothy Dix Says

RUT they expect to make the mat
rimonial voyage under sunny skies
and with fayoring winds and with
never cloud to mar it, They expect
their domestic partners to always yes
yes them and never consider that they
have a right to any say-so in the firm,
or to any share in the profits except
what they choose to give. They expect
marriage to give them nothing but
happiness and prosperity and are
never prepared for the trials and trib-
ulations and sickness and bills and
sacrifices it brings. And they expect
those they marry to change into just
the kind OF people they wish them to
be instead OF what they are.
So it is no wonder that so many
people are disappointed in marriage.
They are looking for miracles and
miracles never happen. One Of the
greatest misfortunes that has ever
happened to the human race is the
overtouting Of marriage by novelists
and poets They have not only set
up an ideal of marriage that does not
exist, for there are no Elysiums Of
bliss into which man and woman can
enter by way OF the altar in this
troublous world, but they have also
erected false standard by which
husbands and wives are supposed to
measure their love. This consists OF
glamour and thrills, and az soon as a
married couple cease to see each other
without their halos, and no longer
palpitate at the sound Of a footstep
they are led to believe that they no
longer love.
All of which is, of course, nonsense
You can't keep UP an illusion about q
person with whom you live and whose
little peculiarities are daily and hourly
forced on your attention. Nor can you
nave hectic chills and fevers over one
who has become part OF your every
day life. But that doesn't keep you
from finding them good companions
who are pleasant to live with and who
make you mighty comfortable and
whom you like better and better all

First Time
Important
AlW a y S
If Handled Correctly
Bad Habits Will
Not Be Formed.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE first time for anything is very
important always, but it IS espe-
cially important in the rearing Of
children. When 4 child does some
thing gery undesirable-and he will
surely do so-one must consider well
what it is one wants the child to do
instead. The way he is treated this
first time is going to make strong
impression If the treatment is not
the best one consequent behavior is
not likely to be any improvement.
The baby in his crib begins to cry.
He has been bathed and fed and laid
there for sleep. Now he Is crying,
persistently. Look him over again,
smooth his clothes, his bed. be assured
that he is in need Of nothing that you
can offer him and then leave him.
Don't pick him up and carry him, or
rock him, or hold. Leave him.
He will cry for while, but he will
stop if he finds that you do not answer.
This experience is going to set the
stage for many to come. 50 be careful
that, first, he needs nothing, second,
that he Is not going to get any
further attention from you until the
right time for it comes around. That
will prevent many miserable hour
for him and you.
Maybe he discovers that he can pull
hair and strike with his flsts Don't
consider that first time at all funny
You don't want him to continue to
pull your hair and punch you, so you
gravely take his hands of, set them
gently down and withdraw in silence
Maintain that gravity and silence, 50
that he gets no JOY from his experience
of hurting you. Even If you are not
hurt, as you will hasten to say, you
don't want him to continue this prac-
tice? Then act this first time 50 as to
make 1t the last, or near to it.
He will stop eating one day and
indicate that he is willing to be fed.
Be careful. He may be genuinely tired.
Eating without help sometimes tires .
child, but if you have left OF feeding
him don't touch his spoon or fork,
but just let him rest q minute, and
don let him feel that you are par
ticularly interested. If he continues
to rest too long, remove his meal and
don't feed him again until the right
time. This first time, treated wisely,
will give you and him good start in
the prevention Of poor eating habits.
He will be likely to want his mother
to stay with him some time when 1t is
uncalled for, unnecessary and not at
al good for him. Maybe mother Is
getting ready to 60 out and he begins
to cry and hold out his arms. Maybe
he doesn't want to be left in bed alone
and coaxes her to lie down beside him.
Maybe he doesn't want to play alone
Assure him that he is going to be quite

more than the exercise he will stop and

Etiquette
At School
y ances S
It Is Not Improper for
Girls to Attend Class
Functions Alone.
BY EMILY POST.

/. Do you think it improper for
girls to go alone to their own high
school class dances? Some Of our
parents think it Is not proper for us
to go to our dance without escorts
and many Of the boys 60 in groups
alone and never ask girls.
Answer certainly don't think 1t
improper, unless there has been 4
precedent established 1T your school,
which would make 1t embarrassing for
girls to begin going in groups or by
themselves. Even though some of the
boys stop for best" girls, this Is no
reason that can see why all the other
girls must stay away from their own
class dance any more than they would
be expected to stay away from a
private dance to which their hostess
has invited them to come alone.
2. At school dance is a boy sup
posed to ask girl, or the boy who
is sitting with her, If he may have
the next dance?
Answer-A boy usually cuts in while
a girl is dancing with another boy.
II not, and he goes up to her while
she Is sitting at the side Of the dance
floor, certainly he does not ask the
boy with whom she is sitting If he
may have the next dance. He would
ask her personally. On the other
hand, If she is really sitting out"
with boy (that means on the stairs
or in another room) q boy must not
interrupt her tete-a-tete, but must
wait and ask her when she comes
back into the dance room.
3. Mother says Santa Claus must
have showered perfume over many a
house this year, since 50 many OF the
girls bring home with me after school
are wearing perfume. Mother thinks
perfume on a schoolgirl Is very much
out of order. What do you think?
Answer-1 agree with your mother
entirely. Perfume belongs in the same
list Of tabus for school as red finger
nail polish and too much makeup.
4. One Of our classmates has Just
been taken to the hospital, where he
will soon have an operation. We ex-
pect that he will have to stay in the
hospital for some weeks. The class
would like to do something to show
our esteem for this boy, but one Of the
girls thinks that boys and men are not
usually sent flowers. Is this true and
If so, what would you suggest that we
send him?
Answer-Flowers from his class
mates would be very nice, and perhaps
later. when he is stronger, the class
might now and again send him a few
magazines which the other boys in
the class think would especially inter-
est him. Also, the amusing get-well
cards, sent few at q time, would be
q cheering way to show him that you
are all thinking of him. Speaking of
flowers, it Is true that this is the only
time can think or when men are sent
flowers-except at their funerals.

by on another track, without even
stopping to say "howdy." Sometime
later-usually quite while-my train
gives up listening for whatever it was
listening for and heaves itself disap-
pointedly on It's way. But that IS al
most driving me crazy-what Is it that
the train waits for?
Another mystery to me is the spite
fulness OF the beast. As long as you
sit still, reading the latest magazine, it
glides along like a ferry boat; the mo-
ment that you decide to walk to the
diner or observation car it begins act
ing up like Old Fury. Especially when
you are crossing that awful no-man's
land between cars, does the dragon
take it into its head to shake itself all
over and start chasing its tail. You
arrive at your table with your hat
over one eye, smudge on your nose
and your nerves in q state Of complete
collapse. Then, of course, the minute
you are seated and q fixture once more
it straightens itself out and moves
smoothly on-until you try pouring
coffee, and 1t acts up again.
A ND there is the matter Of adding
and subtracting from trains in
stations. Besides shaking your back
teeth out, every time the train at
tempts to do sums 1t always ends up
with your car finding itself right back
of the engine, when it had been next
to the club car, and, though you
walked forward to the diner for lunch,
for dinner you must retrace
goodly portion of the tracks over
which you have just passed. Very
confusing. Also, If you have wired
that you will be getting home on the
second section you inevitably arrive
on the first, or vice versa. And the
train pants amusedly at you as you
follow your porters past its black nose
on your way to the gate.
love trains, but 1 don't understand
their whims and fancies. I like to
ride on them, like to go places over
the shining rails, but am practically
a lunatic trying to figure out why
they do the things they do. Maybe
that is part Of their charm-they are
aloof and infinitely con-
fusing. Some day, maybe, I'll ind
out the answers. And when do Ill
be the one to smile in q supercilious
manner at the engine-especially If
I have found out what the train has
been waiting for out in the wide open
spaced in the dead Of night!
Only very likely, can't tell!

each time? Is the engineer bored and
wants to jazz things up bit by press
ing the middle valve down-or does
the whistle get stuck like an automo-
mile horn (always an embarrassing
moment)?
Why, sometimes, when the train
comes into a station, does it buck like
a broncho and hump itself all over
the place as the brakes are being ap-
piled? At other times this same train
will purr up to a platform and stop
like a tired child, with just sigh OF
steam to indicate that it has arrived.
and them what likes to walk can get
out and do it.
Very much the same trouble oc-
ours on pulling out of stations-at one
place the train picks up its brakes as
daintily as lady, and gets under way
with ease and grace; at another it
does the rhumba backwards and for
wards before settling into the collar
and taking the long pull (Metephors
90 get so involvedD Now, what l
want to know is why can't that train
quit being temperamental and pursue
the tenor of its ways in the approved
even manner?
THEN there is the strange problem
of the train that stops in the
middle of the night, miles out in the
bushes, and, to all intents and pur-
poses, entirely alone. 1t sits on a
section Of track, under the black sky,
and lifts up its voice in a sad erie
cry. Perhaps it is calling for its mate
but if it is, it doesn't do it any good,
because If another train does come
along, it just gives my train one snort
and a roar OF disapproval and sails

Dearest and company admire the
