You don't go blind, as a rule, until

BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.


27.-Citizens of these parts are
1 showing no great enthusiasm
- for professional foot ball. The
citizens of these parts are unexcelled
In dizziness for the intercollegiate
game and, for that reason, it was be-
Ieved the professionals would find a
good market for their product in
Southern California.
When teams of the National Profess
sional League first showed up In these
parts a few years ago, the attendance
was excellent. But apparently the
customers came out of curiosity rather
than any deep interest in the profess
sional play, for this Winter neither
the champion Green Bay Packers nor
the Chicago Bears did much business
In their games with the Los Angeles
Bulldogs; a team sponsored by the
American Legion and coached by Gus
Henderson.
Perhaps the professionals arrived
Too late in Los Angeles to catch the full
tide of foot ball interest. The city
gets a full measure of intercollegiate
foot ball with Southern California,
University of California at Los Angeles
and Loyola College playing long sched-
ules and the Rose Bowl game providing
the tops in post-season gridiron enter
tainment. At any rate, attendance at
the games played by the Green Bay
and Chicago elevens was very disap-
pointing to the owners of those teams
and 1t is doubtful if they will give Los
Angeles any high recommendation
for franchise in the National League.
Lack Of Competition Hurts.
THE building of interest in profess
sional foot ball is a lengthy pro-
cess, particularly in community that
has the amount of intercollegiate play
offered in Los Angeles. The Ameri-
can Legion may accomplish that OBJ
jective in due time, but its handicap
Is lack of competition.
There are few professional teams on
the Pacific Coast and the game is
entirely blocked out in San Francisco,
where the st. Mary'S, Santa Clara and
OdIl rIdIlCLSCO university Teams play
Sunday games. Consequently, the Los
Angeles team is dependent upon an
alliance with the National League for
a full schedule. The Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and Brooklyn teams of the
National League played here during
the regular season as an experiment
to test the interest of Southern Cali
fornia in the professional game, but
whether the performance will be re-
peated this year is a question. If a
tenth franchise in the National
League Is awarded Cleveland, chances
are the professionals will pass up Los
Angeles except for Winter barnstorm-
ing trips.
The Green Bay Packers proved that
q professional team cannot be built
In one season when they slaughtered
the Los Angeles Bulldogs, 40 to 0, and
could have made the score much
greater had Coach Curley Lambeau
kept his regulars in the game for any
great length Of time The result of
that game further reduced interest In
the citys eleven, although it stimu-
lated quite turnout when the Pack
ars and Bears tangled on Sunday.

to catch the moisture and to
provide harbor for the spoons.
Yes, when we serve a salad
with the main course, and on
individual salad plates, we
should provide special forks,
either medium-Size forks or
salad forks, for the salad. We
should have a fresh fork with
which to eat the salad.
The salad fork should be
placed with the other silver
pieces at the individual place:
on the left Of the plate, with
the other forks, and nearest
the plate.
If small dry cakes are served
with the ice cream, it is not
necessary to place a fork for the
cake. But if we serve, say,
slices of frosted layer cake, then
we should provide a separate
fork for eating the cake. Using
an ice cream spoon to eat
"gooy" cake is only makeshift
service.

put herself under the care of a
good doctor. If she cannot af-
ford this she should apply to her
nearest maternity center or get
in touch with a lying-in hospital.
BY regular visits to the doctor,
her own and the baby's health
