At any rate, your Uncle Sam
has established a brides school,
designed as a means of helping
to insure contented family life.
The WPA adult education pro-
gram of the New York City
Board of Education has estab-
lished this new course as a
special service to prospective
brides.
The instruction covers the
buying of all types of products
which must be bought for the
new home. Nothing is over
looked, from meat to mouse
traps, vinegar to vegetables,
salt to silk, rugs to refrigerators.
So, if the bride turns out to
be a poor housekeeper and
drives her husband to perchipg
on a stool at the drugstore to
eat a leathery sandwich, it
will not be the fault of Uncle
Sam.
Variety of
Subjects Discussed
The course includes analysis
of foods, textiles, leather pro-
jects, dyes and dyeing processes,
personal clothing for members
of the family and complete
range Of house furnishings and
appliances.

Claire was held responsible for
Ruth's alleged ambition to get
Joe McCarthy'S job.
LeaStWayS, a very exclusive
celebration was held, not at the
Beard home on Alaska Avenue
where Ruth by then had come
to be a frequent guest,
but at small downtown hotel

AS the chronlcler recalls, only
Lefty" Gomez and June O'Day
Gomez were present of the Yam

and her eldest daughter, Julia,
were there, of course; and did
Claire pull the watch on the
Babe at 10 o'clock and kite him
off to his hotel.
1t was o. K, for it was a sup
per affair which started at 7
and, after all, Ruth'S sleep was
getting to be important as he
left his youth behind. You have
no idea of the wear and tear to
which any public idol is sub
jected-and Ruth was getting
to show the strain, as his playing
indicated.
We need not remind you OF
the success of the Babe Ruth

caught a pass thrown by Dougal
Russell good for a 98-yard gain,
thereby breaking his own previous
record of 95 yards gained on a
pass play from Pat Coffee in 1897.
Finishing second to TinSley was
Hutson, who Snagged 80 passes for
548 yards and nine touchdoWnS in
ten games. Tinsley gained SIG
yards and scored but one touch
down in nine of eleven games.
Joe Carter of the Philadelphia

ticipating in only about five in
nings per game, there could be
no mistake the old boy was on
the toboggan for keeps.
Washington, sensing this, did
him honor by holding Babe
Ruth Day" here on the last day
OF the season, thousands of fans
here autographing huge parch-
ment which was open for all
signatures in the lobby of The
Washington Times, so that the
man who had given more auto
graphs than any modern or
ancient sports figure, might
have a few of his own to carry
out of his incompatible career.
But Sam Beard, already hav-
ing been in durance vile on an
income tax evasion charge since
he first met Babe Ruth, wanted
to go a bit further than merely
sign the parchment and attend
what was felt by everybody
would be the Babes last game,
certainly as a Yankee.
GIVES PARTY
Sam wanted to toss a party on
the eve of the Babe Ruth Day
at Griffith Stadium, a day
which attracted the second
largest throng of 1894, being
outpatronized only by the open
day, when the President threw
out the first ball.

lplaced. There is, on the contrary,
no basic requirement for starches,
which simply furnish energy. You
will need less starches when lying
in bed than when running mile
race, or playing a game of tennis.
The same is true of fat. The re-
lquirement for these foods varies
with the activity and age and size
|of the body. But protein loss is
lgoing on at the same rate night and
lday, and must be replaced in the
food. So it is very essential to know
how much protein loss goes on.
Determined in Subject
It can be determined best in the
fasting subject, because on him we
|can measure the amount Of loss
without having to calculate for how
much he takes in. We can calculate
the protein loss from nitrogen ex-
erection, but if a man is eating 100
grams of protein a day, we don't
know how much nitrogen loss comes
from the food, and how much from
the body. In the fasting subject we
know that all the loss comes from
the body.
Succi tasted for 80 days. At the
end of this time he was excreting 33
grams of protein a day, the same as
he was excreting at the end Of Is
days. So we may take 80 grams Of
protein as the minimum require
ment in the daily food. Most of us
eat from 80 to $50 grams in our
ordinary diet, SO we are on the safe
side. - '
Starvation experiments on growth
bring out an interesting thing. If
an animal is growing rapidly and is
suddenly. starved, the growth nat
urally stops. When feeding is re-
sumed, the tendency is for growth
to stop. There is kind Of growth
and the underfed young
animal burns it up. This is a very
important point for infant and
childhood feeding.
