CLARKE'S TRIUMPH

a ing bowler, by the same token,
hardly underestimates his ability. His
cockiness, in many instances. has
backfired to the extent of cultivating
an admittedly sizable corps of enc
mics. but that superbly developed
confidence perhaps is the chief factor
in his rise from comparative obscurity
to his present cum laude position in
maple-spilling ranks.
The keenly emphasized Dizzy Dean
streak in Clarke didn't develop until
shortly before Astor crashed bowling
prominence. He previously had over
heard Lorraine GULL ask a chum,
WHO is he?" and Immediately altered
his tactics by telling 'em who he was
before they had an opportunity to
query. So Astor merely informed
any one concerned he was going to
win the Howard Campbell Sweep
stakes-and did just that.
Astor, at ease in his rather spacious

when he was called on deck for his
third and final set He rolled that set
without the aid of his resin bag and
still retained his pionship-in

$1,000.
Bowling Is rather profitable side
line for the 35-year-old Clarke. Dur
ing the last eight years. or ever since
he launched his career of competitive
duckpin shooting, Astor has averaged
more than $1,000 a season.

Blister Prevents Record.

IT ACTUALLY was an effort for
Astor to tie his shoes today as the
result of the marathon maple denting
Of last Saturday. Every finger was a
thumb. and his third finger sported a
nasty broken blister. That blister de-
velepod in the first set and broke in

third finger was surrounded by sec
ond and little finger in little better
condition. both bleeding as the re-
suit of the spin applied to 8 pounds
and ounces every time Clarke swung
his beautifully developed right arm.
Il would have broken the world
record if 1t hadn't been for that
damned big blister" modestly in
formed Clarke. But We weren't dis
putting him, because the fellow too
often in the past has called his shot.
More than 10000 balls have vhirled
of Astor's hand in the last 10 years.
He rolls nine games a week in COM
petition and Is the only man ever to
win the Campbell Sweepstakes twice
in addition to registering history in
the United States Sweepstakes by
successfully defending his title.
Physical Strain Increases.
BOWLING. according to Clarke. is
more Of q physical strain now
than five years ago. The belly" Of
the pin has been increased in diameter,
and the sport now requires more
drive. The so-called soft ball which
eases down the alley no longer is q
threat in top-notch bowling circles.
The power and spin, say Clarke,
must be there.
It's easy enough to slip from that
top perch on which Astor currently is
roosting. There continually are op-
portunities for dissipation, which in
turn causes lack Of concentration
the most important item, If you listen
to Clarke.
Born in Texas, the son of an Army
officer, Clarke is employed in the
Flngerprint Division of the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation, has an active,
clever and charming wife and two
pretty daughters. He's happy and
looks 1t as we'll as acts it.
II you would be a duckpin bowler,
take a tip from guy who has gone
farther in his realm than any other.
His advice Is to concentrate only
on the box you're rolling Forget
what has passed and what's to come,
eliminate jerky motions, and your
chances Of spilling more Of EN- will
be enhanced immeasurably.

 Aside from the cleansing, or fol- lowing such cleansing of the affect ed mucous membrane, one or a1- other of the simple remedies here suggested may be used with advan- tage.
 First, when the nose is quite clear and as free from secretion as pos sible, apply some precipitated Sul- phur by means of an mSufflator or powder blower. One application of the powdered sulphur each alter nate day is sufficient, and 1t may be continued for several weeks. This is helpful not only in simple chronic rhinitis but also in atrophic rhini- tis, with or without ozena.
 Second, following the cleansing of the nasal passages apply a suit able oil to soothe and protect the membranes. For this pur- pose it is better to avoid the mineral oil preparations (petrolatum, para fin oiD so often used in nasal sprays, drops, inhalants, neubuli- gers. One good agent for the pur- pose is a solution of iodin in se- same oil-one grain of iodin to the ounce of oil. Another is common kerosene. If common kersene oil seems repugnant, a purified or nearly deodorized preparation of it may be obtained from the druggist. Most agreeable to use and perhaps most effective remedially is 8 bland oily solution containing men, thol, phenyl salicylate and vitamin D in combination. A few drops of either of these oils may be put in each nostril night and morning, or any of them may be applied by means of a nebulizer.
 Many victims of chronic "dry catarrh" have experienced much benefit from applying once or twice daily, by means of spray, warm solution of rounded teaspoonful of cane sugar in two fluid ounces of water (about one-fourth of a glass fuD.

SIMPLE REMEDIES FOR OZENA

SIMPLE REMEDIES FOR OZENA
 A foul discharge coming from one side of the nose suggests the possi- bility of foreign body lodged in the nose, especially in the case of an infant or young child. But in some instances it is 8 manifesto ton of nasal diphtheria. Occasion ally such foreign body is animate an insect, intestinal worm, even the developing larva of fly (mag- got)-and the most serious, even fatal symptoms are produced by the presence of an animate foreign body in the nose. The importance of a careful examination, by the aid of headlight, speculum and other in- struments used by physicians equip ped to deal with nose and throat conditions, is obvious. The 1aity has been oversold on socialism. A com- petent general practitioner or fam fly doctor can diagnose and treat all of these everyoay nose and throat conditions as well as any what-have-you specialist can. After all, Mrs. Whitecollarman and Mrs. Executive merely betray their cheap snobbery in running to the specialist every time the baby well, whenever a word of medical advice is needed. That sort of thing may have impressed the neighborS in the days when boomers were news; today it is as distinctive as lipstick.

expected to be interesting in her own right, And that usually means that she must have some interests of her own-not as wife or mother but for herself.
 And she can't get by without making something of her looks whatever they were to begin with. Is she an ugly duckling, she knows she had better work to look smart.
 It is assumed that she will do 8 good job of bringing up her children. without letting them become the center of her existence. And 1t is usually taken for grant, ed that she will have friends of her own, instead of limiting her friendships to the women whose husbands her husband likes.
 If she doesn't have servant, she is expected to be good cook, without making much of fuss about it. And her housekeeping has to be almost as good as her grand mothers.
 She can't get by with chattering at the bridge table, or making a bid of two spades, when her partner indicated hearts, seem cute. You often hear older people talk about the easy life of the modern housewife with her shining elec- trical servants.
 But when you start thinking what a Jack of -all-trades she has to be you realize it would have been a fairly simple thing If not much fun-to be just GOOD woman. Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

WOMAN,S REALM
Glouying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer


 The next time you feel pretty de- pressed-whether for 8 good reason or no reason at all-try going to beauty shop for an hour or two or giving yourself a home manicure or facial. More often than not, improving your appearance will lift your spirits out of the doldruns.
 For instance, what is more dis couraging when you're pretty dis couraged about life anyway, than seeing that the reflection of your self in 8 mirror shows your hair to be oily, unwaved and decidedly stringy? And the sight of nails that are too long and quite dingy with the polish entirely missing, or, worse yet, clipped and cracked, is enough to make anyone start feel ing even sorrier for herself.
 A leading psychologist says that 1t isn't 8 good idea to sit quietly in corner during period of men, tai depression. So if you intend to follow his advice and get up and do something, why not get up and go energetically about the business of making yourself more attractive.
 Start by doing 8 few exercises. And keep on doing them for ten minutes whether you like them or not. Then brush your hair for five minutes. Now clean your face and throat, smooth on the incest mask you own or can make, get into tub of lukewarm water and sit there until you are quite relaxed. Read if you like. Or do your nails. Or scrub your knees and elbows with little brush. Do something, anyway. Don't just sit there and brood over your worries. Handle them later when you are less tired and in better mood.
 After the bath, pat your body with cologne and remove the mask from face and throat. Unless your skin is quite oily, smooth on layer of tissue cream and pat 1t in. After ward, apply makeup carefully, put on fresh underwear and stockings and dress that you really like. Feel better?

 Paris - CUP) - Frances loyalty to it's knitting needles is unswerving There is no couturier brave enough to ignore "hand-knitS" or to ex- clude them from a collection. From the coarseSt scarf, knit by an old woman flower-vendor, to the gossa- mer blouses knit in the exclusive "tricot" salons, there is finess about French knitting which Is hard to beat.
 Indo Chinese silk - heavy strands of pure silk in multi tude of colors mixed in stained- glass effect is used to Amy Blatt for one of the most Strik- ing knit dresses of the season. The one-piece outfit has a skirt that is pleated while it is knit. A tiny white silk pique collar and black leather belt are the only embellish- ments to the richness of the silk yarn.
 White week k-end" yarn makes another stunning Blatt creation. Six rows of narrow navy-blue crocheted lace edging run down the front forming slenderizing panels.

 and finds relife in putting his enemy in a fix, or tries to at- tract attention (which he may not be getting from his parents or teacher) by teasing just anyone at all
 This is closely related to dis- obedience, to poor physical habits or temper outbursts, many of which are bids for more attention. The child who THINKS he is not get- ting his share of hu1noring and fussing, may use almost any meth- cd to attract notice. Teasing fits right in.
 Bully Is Unhappy
 Teasing, in such 8 case, requires a good searching into causes, I think. Not necessarily when the child resorts to 1t once in while for a thrill, as most children do. but when it becomes real habit.
 Perhaps the child who feels in- ferior is given to teasing as a cover- up, to help down the superior one. But one of the worst leases I ever knew was spoiled boy who had the whole house under his thumb. What he demanded was still more attention. He outgrew it nobly, but not until sudden new responsibili- ties made him into real man.
 The bully is either teaser or buffer, depending upon the way he tries to hide his real self. But to digress a little, don't be too hard on the bully. Inside he is the most unhappy person in the world, and his terror is that people will dis cover the trutl1-that he is afraid. He would rather be thought vil- lain than be thought coward.
 Once in while teasers are really cruel. They love to hurt just for the sake of hurting. They are short- sports, too, and can't take it when the tables are turned.
 Analyzing cruelty, as pure in- stinct, is hard. It belongs in the abnormal class. And yet, in one way or another, it must be the result of unhappy early experience. I can- not think that any child Is delib-. erately cruel without reason. Chil- dren are cruel, of course, but mostly through indifference or ignorance.
