Character Made
Her Beautiful

"When l first looked into Jenny's
beautiful eyes," Bill told me, 81
knew l had to marry her. She's
the most gorgeous creature in the
world!"
What Bill had really seen in Jen-
nys eyes was person of charm
and depth of character. She had
made the most of herself. Her
grooming was meticulous and she
selected her clothes with great care.
And she certainly had done a lot
with that plain little face which the
Creator had given her. But that
wasn't all. She had let her grand
sense of humor Gotten an Ugly
Duckling's compensatory carry
her through life with colors! She
lived happily, kept herself busy and
proved to all the ugly ducklings that
not being beautiful is no handicap
if you face facts. For Jenny got
her man, and a mighty nice man
at that!

Speed Record
BY ROBERT McSHANE

A COUPLE of lantern-jawed Eng
"A lishmen and an American avia-
ton engineer decisively shattered
land speed records during the past
year, furnishing thrills aplenty and
setting up brilliant records for speed
artists to try and break.
The duel for the distinction of trav-
cling faster along the ground than
any other human being was won by
Capt. George E. 7. Eyst0n, who
whizzed through measured mile
at 357.5 miles per hour last Septem-
Der. He thus erased the mark OF
350.2 established only "a hours pre-
viously by his compatriot, John r.
Cobb, London fur broker.
The engineer, Floyd Roberts of
Van Mugs, Calf, roared to hard
earned victory in the 500 mile Indi-
annapolis classic when he achieved a
record speed of 117.2 miles per hour.
Because of it's binding, bullet-like
speed, the Englishman's record was
the more exciting. Eyston's record
breaking trip was his second of the
year over the Utah salt beds of
the Bonneville Flats. Late in Au-
gust his black, seven-ton Thunder
bolt Travelled over the saline course
to raise from 311.42 to 345.49 the
standard which he himself had set
there in November of 1887.
The gallant captain was deprived
of one record performance. Three
days prior to establishing the rec
ord in such decisive fashion, Eyston
had attained a speed of 347.155 on
one dash down the Is mile straight
away. However, on the return run,
required to strike an average and
make the mark official, the timer
used to measure the speed failed.
His new standard of 345.49 stood
for only a couple of weeks when
Cobb wrested the honor from the
retired British army captain. In his
RaiIton, machine only half as
heavy as Eyst0n's, he Numbered
down the stretch at 353.29 and 347.1
for his 350.2 average.
Eyston was little daunted. Next
day he climbed into his machine and
averaged 1878 to regain the speed
king crown.
In winning the indianapolis event,
Roberts obtained his first major vic
tory in % years of racing when he
crossed the finish line five miles
ahead of Wilbur Shaw. Shaw's 1897
record of 1850 was top speed for
the 21a mile brick and asphalt oval
until Roberts scored his victory.

Important Details
To Watch

You and l know that sheer ma
terials are nuisance for they do
not permit the slightest careless
ness! Our straps must never be
pinned! If we wear more than one
strap they must look as one through
our blouse. A slip that is the least
bit mussed will look untidy, and
any slip should not show through
the side closing of your dress! Nor
should a slip show beneath the hem
of your dress. The only way to
shorten too long slip is to hem it
over-never, never knot the strap.
Cut out toes in shoes are most
comfortable and serve as much
needed ventilators for the feet but
they are hard on stockings When
you wash your hose be sure to scrub
the toes well for how shocking to
see a soiled toe peeping out from
your shoe!
Speaking about shoes-they must
be aired frequently. It is a good
idea to shake in the shoe a little
deodorant powder once a week and
leave it in over night. Before wear
ing brush it out. That helps to keep
your feet fresh.
Here's to more careful grooming!

Cups and Coaches

pITY the poor football coach for
his lack of job security, but at
the same time reserve some of your
sympathy for coaches, managers,
etc., of other sports. Theirs is by
no means bed of roses.
Take the case of "Bald Bill''
Stewart, former coach of the Chi
cago Black Hawks, world champion
hockey team last year.
Stewart learned recently that no
speedy wingman can skate half as
fast as hockey manager slides
when his club fails to function as
the owner would like it to. The
Black Hawks won the Stanley cup
last year, and half a season later
the manager was notified that his
services were no longer required.
Maj. Frederic Mclaughlin, club
owner, Disguised with the teams
poor showing, decided to replace
Stewart. In the last II years the
Black Hawks have junked IL man.
ayers, all of which makes the NOR
tally rate on managers approx
mately IL per season.
Any big league managers job de-
ponds largely on his teams ability
to pack in the fans. That can't be
done with losing teams. The Black
Hawks started off with bang this
year, drawing top crowds. Loss aft
er loss caused receipts to slump.
Therefore, unused Major McLaugh-
lin, a new manager was a neces-
sity.
The new manager, Paul Thomp-
son, is one Of the best liked PLAYERS
on the team. He'll do his best to
win the coveted Stanley cup, even
in the face of what happened to
his predecessor. Though he prob
ably doesn't like to think of the
high mortality rate.

Grid Rule Changes

THE rules committee of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic associ-
alton, meeting recently, held one OF
it's shortest and most uneventful ses-
sions-much to the delight of thou
sands of coaches throughout the ma
ton.
Only two changes in intercollegiate
football rules were adopted by that
committee. They are:
l. The penalty for forward pass
striking an ineligible player shall be
the loss of a down and Is yards
from the point of the previous
down, instead of loss of the ball.
2. All ineligible PROFESSIONALLY
the center, guards and tackles-must
remain on the line Of scrimmage
until after a pass is thrown. The
penalty for violation will be Is yards
and the play also will count as a
down.
The rules committee can well be
congratulated for the adoption of
these two rules. For one thing the
new rules will undoubtedly encou-
rage the use of shovel passes short
passes behind or to the line of scrim-
mage. 1t is very possible, of course,
that they may lead to longer rum
backs by the opponents on intercept
ed passes because fewer players will
now be allowed to 60 down under a
pass.

questions -"How did you bring up
your daughter?" 'What happened
to you while she was growing into
an adult?" "Do you keep yourself
up in appearance?" care you a
woman your daughter and husband

Those are poignant questions. It
takes steady nerves for most COM
planning mothers to answer.
Let us assume that during the
time when daughter was growing
up, mother had no easy time of it.
She had a lot of work to do and
money was scarce. She sacrificed a
great deal to give daughter nice
clothes, a good schooling, and
healthy life. All right. Her mother
love dictated. She enjoyed doing
that.
Of course she hoped, and right
fully expected, that when daughter
did grow up she would be grateful
for this loving care. Perhaps daugh-
ter, during her difficult teens is, or
was not, grateful. Perhaps she had
been thoroughly spoiled. Perhaps
for years she expected mother to
do all she did do because mother
never took the trouble to train
daughter to be grateful All that
