WHAT to EAT and WHY

berries or tomatoes; sweets, such
as jams and jellies: bread and
meat. While molds are physiO-
logically harmless il eaten, they
definitely spoil the taste and APP
pearance of food.
Mold growths can be killed by
boiling. They are retarded by the
dry circulating air of an efficient
refrigerator. It is to allow for
air circulation that berries should
be stored uncovered-if possible,
spread out so that the air can
reach more than just the top
layer.
Frequent inspection of all food
supplies, including those IN the
bread box, and the prompt elinni-
nation of any items showing signs
of mold, viii help to keep it from
spreading.
Constant vigilance on the part OF
the homemaker In caring for foods
on hand will avoid a needless
drain on the food budget and viii
safeguard the health of every
member of the family.

Kiddy Car Grows Up

Nov comes the midget racing
l y automobile-jokingly referred
to several years ago as a "skiddy
car"-to take its place among the
major sport implements OF the coun-
try.
A group of sportsmen have sched-
uIed a worlds championship midget
auto race to be held in Chicago
on the nights of June Is, 20, 22, "a
and 25 In Soldier Field.
The meet viii nave the sanction Of
the American Automobile associa-
ton and a $4,000 purse will lure
drivers from all parts of the country
and possibly from Europe and South
America. A quarter-mile banked
board track viii be constructed for
the worlds title meet.
Just so you won't get the idea that
a midget automobile is a toy, we
can remind You that the runt motors
have travelled I26 miles an hour.
The record was set by Ronnie
Householder of Los Angeles on the
bed of Murdock Dry Lake in Cali
fornia. Further proof of its major
sport claims is offered by the fact
that Jimmy Snyder, Harry Mac
Quinn, Householder, Duke Nalon and
Tony whitman, who compete annual
ly In the Indianapolis 500-mile classic
drive the midgets for a livelihood
throughout the year.
A midget car, constructed to meet
specifications, will weigh between
700 and 900 pounds. The length
varies from 20 to rs inches and the
tread can be up to 46 inches wide.
The piston displacement is limited
to los cubic inches.
The runts are geared in a to I
ratio, usually, spinning at the rate
Of 5000 revolutions per minute, and
are thus able to pickup from about
Is miles an hour to go miles in any
where from to so feet. They have
two speeds, generally, second and
high. The best cars have hand
brakes, which affords the driver
more powerful leverage.
About the only stock car that
meets midget racing specifications
is the Ford V-60, while the run
of the mill midget motor is a four
cycle job, such as half-Miller, half
Duesenberg, Offenhauser and other
special makes. Many drivers have
built fast cars around a motorcycle
motor. Outboard motors have been
used on the midget ovals, but they
are losing popularity because of
their penchant for noise, smoke and
inability to take punishment.

Two essentials are necessary for

must be stored at a temperature

Cunningham Places

He stretched point and raised
the list to eight, including the names
of Glenn Cunningham and Tommy
Hitchcock, admitting that the iden-
tity of Hitchcock would fall off con-
siderably outside the metropolitan
area. A few had heard of both
men and partly identified them.
As for the remaining two-Vidmer
hazarded no opinion. No athlete was
recognized by enough people to in
clude him on list of the 10 best
known.
So picking that list isn't the cas-
lest thing in the world. For your
own satisfaction try to name the 10
most famous active athletes. And
when you've done that, show the list
to few other people. You'll
find that not one in 10 agrees vita
You on all of them. In fact, most
of them won't even recognize some
of the names.
Fame has geographical hmita-
tionS. The quarterback on the
Jonesville high schools eleven is
PAOb004y k4C A4AOSb WHEY h1lOWu
athlete Of that vicinity. Tony Ga
lento is undoubtedly New Jerseys
chief claimant to fame. The de-
scriptive phrase, nationally known"
usually covers far too much terri
tory. Of course there are those
athletes who are known from coast
to coast, but they occur only hand
full to generation.
Proof that the best known athletes
are not necessarily the best In their
field is shown by the large num-
Der of persons who recognized the
name of Max Baer. No one, not
even his most loyal fan, really be-
lieves Max to be top man In the
present heavyweight ranks.
It is natural, however, that the
old-timers are the most widely
known. They have had a longer
time IN which to intrench themselves
In the public's fancy. Maybe the
idea is all wrong, but we are Of the
opinion that the athletes Of yester-
day were more colorful, and there
fore more easily puhlicized, than
those Of the present day. Great
ness isn't the only factor.
