are four mats and a long runner

of old fashioned needle weaving

Just two edges of the napkins are
banded with the weaving"
We can imagine how attractive
the table must be set with these
mats and the blue dishes. Some

warning friends or relatives to
avoid certain articles of diet.
There is a large amount of evil
dence that fear, anger or anxiety
have the effect of diminishing the
gastric secretions, and further, of
arresting or slowing down the
movement of the intestines.
If food is eaten under these con-
ditions, it may remain stagnant
in the alimentary canal, with the
subsequent formation of gases and
decomposition products. But in
stead of recognizing the true cause
of the trouble, many people erro-
neously blame the food itself
Medical men have frequently
noticed that people often develop
gastric disturbances when they
suffer financial reverses, and con-
tinue to suffer from them until
their financial condition improves

The founder of the house of Nor
gan in the horse world was a horse
born about 1789-the property of
Justin Morgan, who kept a tavern
in Springfield, Mass, until he
moved to Randolph, VT, in the
same year that was foaled the colt
which was to perpetuate its owners
name. No one seems to have any
knowledge of the blood strains of
this famous sire, writes Capt. Max
well M. Corpening in the Chicago
Tribune. Some historians of Nor
gan horses say he was anything
from thoroughbred to Canadian
pony. Others claim many infu-
sions of Arab, Barb, and Turkish
blood. Be that as it may, a good
horse was produced.
This founder of the clan was
named Figure at birth, but renamed

WHAT to EAT and WHY

In view of the fact that tran
quillity of mind is essential to the
proper utilization of food, home
makers should remember never
to discuss unpleasant subjects at
meal times. Don't nag the chill
dren about eating, or choose that
time to discuss their lapses from
discipline. Don't talk about
finances or take up real or fancied
grievances with your husband. Let
such matters wait until the meal
has been digested.
If these suggestions were more
generally followed, it is almost
certain that we would hear much
less conversation about foods that
cause distress, much more whole
some talk about the pleasures of
the table.

important wins and losses column.
However, the Blackhawks continued
to lose games as regularly as be-
fore,
Fans, demanding to know the rea-
son for their clubs failure to win
games, have been answered by the
major.
There's plenty wrong with the
Blackhawks," he admitted, "but
there won't be for long. There'n be
plenty of trades at the end of the
season. We know what we want.
We know what we have to do to
deserve the unfiagging patronage of
hockey fans, and we mean to de-
liver"
According to the owner, one of the
principal reasons why his team
hasn't delivered is the fact that
Thompson took over highly dis
organized team. He had directed
preseason practice, bringing the
Hawks into the regular season. They
won four in row, and then hit
the toboggan. Stewards illness
kept him out of the preseason work.
Thompson drilled the men and Stew
art took over when the league sea-
son started. Thompson was named
manager January 3, when the team
was sliding.
Mclaughlin dispelled any doubts
that might exist concerning his
managerial appointment.
81 am thoroughly, completely and
altogether satisfied with Thompson.
Paul asked for Carl Voss as his
coach, when we made the change.
Carl played for 10 years-not on his
size, his skating, his shot-but on
his brains. Paul wants him. They
work together beautifully and they
are making progress"
Two years ago the Blackhawks
dropped regular gymnastic work for
the players. Now it is McLaughlin's
firm belief that gym work is abso-
lutely essential for any athlete. It
has already been reinstated.
In regard to the Hawks poor
showing, he continued:
"When a hockey team begins
fioundering, as ours has recently,
there's little a coach can do about
it from the bench. The wasted eff
fort, lack of timing, poor passing,
failure to check and seeming fulfil
ity of team comes from pressing
too much. Our boys are down at
the bottom of the heap. They're
trying desperately to flash their best
form. They try too hard, SO they
blow everything. We're correcting
those things"
Next year, the big chief promises,
things are going to be different. Chi
cago is going to get the worlds
best hockey, and the Blackhawks
are going to furnish it. The major
is going to try every promising
youngster that comes along; he's 60
ing to do lot of trading and he's
going to see to it that the boys put
in their proper number of gymna-
SUM conditioning hours.
Mclaughlin is convincing. After
listening to him you really believe
his definite statement that "we're
going to build the greatest hockey
team in America"

Food DisIikes Often Unfounded

once met woman who told
me that her contented-looking huS-
band could, and did, eat most ev-
erything 'cept horseshoes. Menu
planning was simple for her! And
how different from the problems
of the home-maker who must try
to reconcile her menus, both with
the food dislikes of various mem
bers of the family, and with the
foods that they declare they can't
eat, for fear of digestive distress.
1t is true, Of course, that indi-
viduals differ greatly, and occa-
sionally food that can and should
be eaten regularly by most peo-
pie, will cause distress in an in
dividual case. But that is no in
dication that the food will have
the same effect on another per-
son, and it is misleading either to
proffer or accept advice of this ma
ture from friends.
It may be that the victim has
an allergy to the food in question
that he reacts to it differently
than the majority of people. But
there is also the possibility that
the prejudice exists because of
some previous distress, caused,
not by the food itself, but by the
circumstances under which it was
eaten.
Perhaps a clearer understand
ing of some of the mental and
physiological factors influencing
digestion would dispel many of
the bugaboOs that cause people to
avoid various, wholesome foods
and food combinations, and to
warn others against them.

Handicap History

The Santa Anita 100000 handi-
cap, outstanding race of the Pacific
coast, had its start back in 1917
under the guiding hand of Jim Cof-
froth, San Francisco boxing promot-
er.
Coffroth had purchased an estate
near San Diego. He decided to 60
into the racing game at Tiajuana
where there was already a good
track and wooden stands. The 1917
purse was $4,000. In 1921, when the
second race was held, it paid $14, IT'S
to the winner, Be Frank. Other
winners were Mulciber, Rebuke,
Runstar, Atherstone, Carlaris and
Sir Harry.
1t wasn't long before the Tiajuana
track gave way to Aqua Caliente, a
100000 resort with a top-notch
racing plant. In 1880 it was known
as the Aqua Caliente $1,000 handi-
cap. Gambling finally went out and
Caliente was closed
It was a gloomy time for racing
until California legalized betting. A
track, promoted by Doc Charley
Strub, was built on the Lucky"
Baldwin estate at Arcadia by sew
eral wealthy turf enthusiasts.
The first of the present Santa
Anita handicaps was held in 1895,
with 100000 purse. 1t was the
same race that had started back
in 1917 in Tiajuana, under Coffroth,
who long ago faded out of the pic
ture.
The roll call of winners sounds
like the blue book of American turf.
Numbered among the champions
were Victorian, Mike Hall, Phar
Lap, Gallant Sir, Azucar, Top Row
and Rosemont.
A $4,000 Widener Cup race in
Florida on the same date this year
offered the Santa Anita affair plenty
of competition. There is plenty of
room for the two big races, espe-
cially with the distance between
them so great. Both tracks saw
Americas top-notch hay burners in
action, and betting machines were
kept busy.

Emotions Influence DIGESTION

Scientists have established that
the stomach is capable of reacting
to almost every emotion and SEN
sation that is experienced by men
and women. Thus, how you eat
becomes quite as important as
what you eat. And any food or
combination of foods consumed
when you are tired, worried or
angry, may cause acute distress,
whereas the same food, when eat
en- at another time, may be di-
gested without the slightest dis
turbance.
This indicates the folly of jump
ing to the conclusion that you
can't eat this or that, and shows
that one is scarcely justified in

Questions Answered

Mrs. G. M. B.-Perhaps the
most important single improve
ment that could be made in our
dietaries would be to include more
calcium-rich foods. So many of
our staple foods are poor in cal
cium that a diet may be abundant
and varied, and still lack this bone
and BODYBUILDING substance. In
general, milk is the best source
of calcium and should be the cor
nerstone of the diet. Fruits, vege-
tables and eggs also help to in
crease the supply of this mineral
which has such a far-reaching eff
feet upon health.

Cub Captains

w HEN the Chicago Cubs, train
w ing at Avalon, Calf, called
their first full squad roll recently,
five former players who have
served as captains of National
league teams were present and ac-
counted for.
The executive list includes Bill
Herman, present captain of the
Cubs; Gabby Hartnett, Woody Eng
Iish, Gus Mancusco and Dick Bar
tell.
Woody English succeeded Charley
Grimm as captain when Grimm was
named manager in 1882. He held
that position until he was traded to
Brooklyn in 1886. Woody was pur-
chased recently by the Cubs from
the Cincinnati Reds.
Gus Mancusco was captain of the
New York Giants at the time he
was obtained by the Cubs in the
biggest, most widely known trade
of the year.
Dick Bartell, obtained in the same
deal that brought Mancusco to the
Cubs, was captain of the Phillies
before his sale to the Giants after
the 1894 season.
Though this array of executive
talent may look formidable, Man.
ager Gabby Hartnett is not worried.
Gabby is ready and anxious to have
every man captain as long as he
is in charge. The ex-captains are
all aggressive players, and that's
right down his alley. He has no
worries that Bill Herman won't be
able to protect his position as in
cumbent chief. And he's assured
of scrappy bunch of fighters who
will work together-the answer to a
managers prayer.

Never Eat When Tired

Almost any food may cause dis
tress when one is suffering from
fatigue. So it is unwise to sit down
to a large meal when exhausted
from too much physical or mental
work. A brief rest before eating
will put the body in much better
shape to receive and assimilate
the food.
Then, if the meal is served in
pleasant surroundings, and if the
food is flavorful and well cooked,
the chances are that it will be di-
gested satisfactorily by all normal
individuals.
