Modern Debs

"A cial column of leading New
York paper this item appeared:
"The pretty, blond debutante, Les
ley Bogert of Newport, arrived at a
popular night club after midnight
last night with a party of friends.
The party all drank champagne with
the exception of Miss Bogert, who
followed the current debutante milk
fad!"
And there you have it. Society's
younger, pampered darlings have
more sense than you would believe!
The majority of debutantes, post
and present, are in their teens and
they go to more parties in a week
than you and / are likely to attend
in month or two months!
What would happen to the health
and beauty of these young girls if
they slipped cocktails and highballs
at every party?
A large percentage of New York's S

An outstanding New York physi-

"how new and becoming hair style

thus change the current course of
her life. Her interest in things

Fastest Sport

WORLDS fastest indoor game is
" not ice hockey, as might well
be supposed, but an ancient game
called Jai Alai, ''hy-ie" to you.
The National Geographic society
is authority for the fact thatlit was
played three centuries ago in the
Basque country of northern Spain.
There it is known as pelota, mean
ing small ball." The game evolved
from simple village pastime of
ball-tossing against church walls.
Today it is a major sport not only
in Spain but in South America,
Mexico, Cuba and even such remote
centers as Shanghai. Now jai alai
seems to be taking root in the Unit
ed States.
One reason for the spread of the
games popularity is its simplicity.
1t requires only space, three high
walls, a ball and a curved basket
like scoop lashed to the arm of
each player. When played by hard

A Mothers Job

But the mere fact that child is
old enough to go to school does
not make him less of a child.
Nor does it make his mother less
of a teacher and guardian. On
the contrary, it multiplies her re-
sponsibilities!
More than ever the child needs
careful supervision of his health
habits. For now he is in daily
contact with countless other
youngsters, from many types of
homes. More chances to pick up
germs! More chances to dissent

Health Linked to Cleanliness

All of us have heard the ex-
preston: Cleanliness is next to
Godliness," though to observe
some of our school children eating
their lunches, one might have rea-
son to believe that both mothers
and school boards have forgotten
this old copy-book maxim! But il
bears remembering, every day
and all day. For the writer who
said that soap and civilization 60
hand in hand was not far from
the truth. Certainly, soap-and-wa-
ter cleanliness and good health
are inseparably linked, and habits
of personal cleanliness are a vital
factor in safeguarding children
against infections and disease.
We often compare a correct diet
to the bricks with which a well.
constructed building is erected.
But if food represents the bricks
with which the edifice of health is
built, surely cleanliness is the
mortar!

Contaminated Food

I have pointed out many times
that in my opinion, a mothers
foremost responsibility is to feed
her children diet that takes into
account all the recent amazing
discoveries of nutritional science.
Only by so doing can she hope to
give them sturdy body with
straight bones, strong responsive
muscles. a good circulation and
sound healthy nerves.
But the parent who permits her
offspring to eat with unwashed
hands and thus take countless
germs into his body with every
mouthful of food is scarcely Civ
ing that food a chance to build
the kind of body and brain every
mother desires for her child. On
the contrary, she is risking the
danger of grave illness. For the
micrO-0rganisms which cause 90
out of every 100 deaths from COM
municable diseases enter or leave
the body through the mouth or
nose.

Questions Answered

Mrs. C. nj. L.-Yes, there is
some advantage in eating whole
oranges, as opposed to merely
drinking the juice. Both orange
and orange juice are rich in vita
min c. But the pulp possesses
additional laxative values that are
not obtained when only the juice is
consumed.

Vinegar Cures Rust. - Don't
waste time trying to clean rusty
articles with emery paper! Place
them in a jar of ordinary vinegar,
leave for couple of days, and you
will find that they are quite free
from rust.
On Heat Appliances. - Lamp
sockets and cords waste electric
ity and deteriorate rapidly when
used with heat appliances. If the
cord on the toaster or electric
iron gives out, a new cord suited
to that piece of equipment will
save current and possibly Sc
rious accident.
Care of Bo0k.-Never bend a
book backward to keep it open.
That weakens the back strap so
that the leaves will fall out. Use
a book mark or put a small weight
on one corner of the book to keep
it open.
To Make Beef Juice.-Add one
pound of fresh raw finely chopped
round steak without fat to six
ounces of cold water. Add a pinch
of salt, put the beef and water in
a glass jar and stand it on ice,
over night. Shake and strain it
through coarse muslin, squeezing
hard to obtain all the juice.
Care of Satin.-Freshen black
satin with potato water, sponging
on the right side and ironing on
the back.
To Clean Chromium.-Chromi-
um plated household fittings
should be kept clean by frequent
busting with a soft cloth. If dirty,
wipe with a cloth wrung out in
warm water and then dry thor
oughly with a soft duster. Or try
wiping with a rag moistened with
parafin.
Renewing Leather.-Since the
natural oils in leather slowly dry
out and may cause it to crack and

he attended a local trial held in

Keeping EverIasfingly at It

Most babies are kept clean by
their mothers because mothers
know that they cannot keep their
babies well if they do not keep
them clean. If the same careful
policy were followed in later child
hood, it is almost certain that
there would be less illness among
children.
Unfortunately, many mothers
relax their vigilance the moment
their child is ready for school. In
some cases, they believe that the
child has had sufficient training
and can be relied upon; in other
instances, they believe, or hope,
that further training will be sup
piled by the school!

Too Many Tackles

Seven tackles, he decided, are al
together too many. When they come
together the spectators can't see
what's happening, and the players
themselves hardly know what it's
all about. Tackles only get in the
way of the ball carrier, anyhow. So
out went two men and two uniforms.
Then Epler took the guards. The
team has to have ends to run down
punts, receive passes, turn in the
0ffense. 1t also has to have center
to get the ball in motion. But who
ever heard of a guard making a
touchdown? So on each side of the
center guard was left jobless. His
team now had a center and two
ends. He had chopped off four men.
When it came to the backfield it
wasn't so easy, but Epler shut his
eyes and crossed off one halfback.
His team now consisted of a CEN
ter, two ends, a quarterback, half
back, and fullback. Three men in
/ the line, three in the backfield.
Because the town couldn't provide
regulation gridiron, 100 yards long
by 160 feet wide, without running a
good crop of standing corn, Epler
reduced the length of the field to
30 yards, the width to 40 yards.

The Ely miner., 1938-11-10
Safer Game

A by-product of this condensed
team is a marked decrease in the
hazards of football. Surveys show
that many football injuries result
7 from the simple fact that in a pile
of IA men, some one has to be at
the bottom. Fewer linemen reduced
this major hazard.
Also for the sake of safety, Epler
added one rule to regulation foot
ball. The man who receives the
ball from the center must pass it to
a teammate, either with a back
ward, lateral, or forward pass, be-
fore crossing the line of scrimmage.
This slowed up the offense enough
to reduce much of the effect of bruis-
ing line plunges.
When the game opened up, the Of
tense had shade too much advan-
tage, so Epler handicapped the
team IN possession of the ball by
requiring an advance of Is yards
instead of the regulation 10, in four
successive downs.
He also found that injuries were
frequent at the start of the game
or second half when muscles were
cold and tense and at the end of the
game when players were tired. So
he set up a penalty against teams
that did not warm up" for three
minutes before the start of play and
he allowed players to be taken out
of the game and returned at will.
In the regulation game a player cam
not be returned during the period in
which he has been removed. This
ruling, in regulation football, tends
b to keep the players in too long.
Surveys show that more injuries
occur near the goal lines where
players of both sides get desperate
than in midfield. To remedy this
situation, Epler widened the goal
posts to 25 feet, made them at least
20 feet in height, lowered the cross
= bar to 9 feet, and awarded a pre-
MUM for goal kicks. A try-for-point
after touchdown nets two points if
made successfully by kicking, only
one point if made from scrimmage.
This encourages kicking in place of
scrimmage when team nears the
goal line.
