His Last Dime
By Katherine Edelmun

IN AN DRISCOLL was broke.
Well, almost broke. He had
- one thin dime, hiding in the
dark depths of a purse that had once
held bills of three figures.
He had held it for 20 years, ever
since he had found it while plough
ing on his fathers farm. His lucky
dime-that's what he had called it.
Dan laughed grinly at the thought.
Lucky! Had anyone ever been so
unlucky as him? Here was the whole
town preparing for Christmas, shop
ping, spending coolies of money, and
he was penniless, weary wander
er. A lucky dime!
A little place around the corner
caught his eye. Dan entered, his
nostrils quivering under the tanta-
hzing odors. He looked around with
greedy eyes, his mouth watering
with longing. Soup, roast fowl, po-
tatoes, luscious mince pie! But he
mustn't think about such things. He
had just one dime-the price of a
cup of coffee and a doughnut, or a
hamburger. Which would it be? The

WHAT to EAT and WHY


eats sparingly and whose dislikes
usually far outnumber his likes.
Such child must be encouraged
tactfully to eat a wide variety of
foods, but mothers must not be
over-solicitous, nor must they be-
come obviously angry or irritated
when the child refuses food.
Scolding, punishment and threats
of punishment should be avoided,
as they defeat their purpose. Re-
member, too, that precept is a
powerful teacher. and that a
child's dislike for certain foods
may have been instilled by a
none-too-guardedly expressed dis
like of a similar food on the part
of an adult.

Problem of Anorexia

All normal children will, at
times, exhibit lack of appetite.
We are not concerned here with
occasions when a child who usu-
ally eats well feels no desire for
food. Such lack of appetite may
mean the beginning of a cold or
some other illness and should be
carefully investigated. Unfortu-
hately, however, many mothers
of young children are faced with
chronic lack of appetite in their
children-a condition that physi-
clans describe as anorexia. In or
der to correct this condition, it is
necessary to understand its
causes and to use wisdom in help
ing to remove them.

Sports De-Emphasis
INTERCOLLEGIATE

INTERCOLLEGIATE sports are
definitely out at historic st. Johns
college in Annapolis. This bold stride
away from the conventional pattern
OF American colleges was made re-
Gently when President Stringfellow
Barr criticized what he termed a
professional system"
st. Johns, he said, from now on
will give first consideration to "stu-
dent pleasure. And so, after the
end of the current school year and
its athletic schedule, the UNCOVERED
college on the hanks of the quiet
Severn will concentrate on a greatly
expanded intramural program.
From the viewpoint of educators.
as well as many students, a de-
emphasized athletic program is
probably desirable. But crowds of
from $4,000 upwards will not fill the
stadium of dear old Whoozis to watch
two six-man football teams compete
on an intramural basis.
Colleges throughout the nation
have sunk millions of dollars in huge
athletic arenas, and a de-empha-
sized athletic program won't fill
football bowls with thousands of
frenzied fans who have laid their
money on the line. The beautiful
jingle of the athletic departments
cash register has been sweet music
to the ears of many a college, and
football, the most emphasized sport.
has shOuldered more than its inan-
cial load in filling university Golfers.
1t isn't likely that many major col
leges will follow in the footsteps Of
st. Johns. They have too much at
stake, and thoughts of an empty sta
dunn on a fall Saturday afternoon
are, to say the least, tragic.

Mattamuskeet was pumped dry

Developing the Right Attitude

Developing the Right Attitude
Strange as it may seem, such
difficulties often arise because a
mother fails to give the necessary
consideration to developing in the
young child a proper attitude to-
ward food. Some children need
to be taught that they must eat
enough food for their body re-
quirements. It is part of the
training they should have in early
childhood, so that they develop a
willingness to eat what is put be-
fore them, to try new foods when
offered, and to become increas-
ingly independent in making a
wise selection at mealtimes.
If child has been properly con-
ditioned in these respects from his
earliest years, mothers will sell
dom find themselves faced with a
"child who will not eat"

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-12-08

too prolonged exercise or excite
ment may result in fatigue during
the day. If a child spends too
much time with adults, overstim-
ulation may be the result. And
in the case of older children, their
school work may be troubling
them.
Another frequent cause of lag
ging appetite is the constant nerv-
Gus tension to be observed in
some households. If a child is al
lowed to become unhappy, angry,
or worried over some uncomplet-
ed school assignment, it may in
terfere seriously with his appe-
tite and consequently with his nu-
triton. With younger children,
the fact that they are able to at
tract favorable attention from
adults by refusing to eat often
stimulates them to repeat their
refusal as long as mother shows
concern over their antics.

The Best System

Most successful bowlers use meth
cd three, selecting a spot at the
foul line for release of the ball.
They make it point to release the
ball at that spot each time. Just
before they deliver the ball they lift
their eyes to watch its trip down the
alley, noting carefully the angle at
which it rolls, how it finishes and
its effect when it comes into con-
tact with the pins.
Bowlers using system four, or the
"spot" system, keep their eye on a
definite spot at the foul line, con-
centrating on that spot during
the approach and even after the
ball leaves their hand. Then they
raise their eyes to study the course
of the ball.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-12-08
Delivery Important

When your approach becomes me-
chanical, look to your delivery. AS
you take your place on the ap-
proach hold the ball in the palm of
your left hand. Place the fingers
of your bowling hand in the holes
and try your grip. AS you approach
the foul line, with your left foot slid
ing slightly up to the line, place the
ball on the alley just beyond the
foul line. Don't try to throw the
ball down the alley. Better accura-
cy is secured by rolling the ball as
soon as possible. Rhythm and tim
ing are of the utmost importance.
At this juncture you can choose
one of four systems. The first tells
you to roll the ball at the pins, fir
ing away with no respect to imagi-
nary sights on the alley. Once in
a while you'll astonish yourself by
totaling a good game, but usually
this method leads to low scores.
System two advocates the release
of the ball at the same spot at the
foul line, with the purpose of send
ing the ball over another spot (your
sight) which directs the ball to the
1-3 pocket.

Find the Causes

When a child chemically lacks
interest in food, the mother should
set about Systematically to learn
the reasons why. Possibly the CO.
operation. of your physician will
be required, for sometimes OBJ
scure physical causes may be re-
sponsible, such as faulty elimina-
ton, diseased tonsils or teeth or
some other focal infection. On the
other hand, it frequently occurs
that a changed attitude on the
part of the mother in presenting
food is all that is necessary to
alter completely a child's attitude
in regard to his meals.
1t is interesting to note, how
ever, that in studying large
group of children with poor appe-
titles, one investigator found that
50 per cent of the children were
more than average in height and
narrow in body build.
Faulty Diet May Destroy Appetite
Frequently, child's lack of in
terest in food may be traced di-
rectly to poor choice among the
foods presented to him. 1t has
been repeatedly demonstrated, for
example, that when the diet lacks
vitamin b., appetite decreases, so
that there is less desire for food of
any kind. Then, too, when a
child's diet contains too much fat,
digestion may be delayed and this
in turn may interfere with the ap-
petite for the next meal. While
some children thrive better with
a between-meal feeding, in others
it seems to destroy appetite for
the meal that is to follow. And
with some children, "fussiness"
at mealtimes may be due to the
fact that their diet contains too
many concentrated foods, too few
crisp raw ones that stimulate ap-
petite.

Politicians Are Alarmed,


Talk with the politicians privately
discloses that all of them, Republicans
or Democrats, are alarmed by the
political machine which has been built
up in the name Of old-age pensions.
They are saying that, if the present
constitutional provision is reratified
in the coming election, it means that
o. Otto Moore, who marshals the pen
sioners in the name of the Annuity
League of Colorado, will be the real
Governor of the State The Governor
and Legislature, they assert, would
have no recourse but to do his bidding.
This rising power of Moore and his
associates has become a major factor
in the campaign, and there are indi-
cations that, if the constitutional pro-
vision is defeated, it will be more
because of popular fear of the newly
created pension political power than
rejection of pensions per Sc.
A straw which may indicate the
trend Of popular opinion was an elec-
ton in Denver two weeks ago, at
which bond issues for new schools,
totaling $3,67l, 900, were overwhelm-
ingly defeated.
