speaking of Sports
Varied Sports
Show Planned
For Exposition
By ROBERT McSHANE

IN THE distant future, when the
curtain rings down on San Fran
cisco's Golden Gate exposition, Cal
ifornia will have staged a sports
program huge enough to exhaust
the high powered adjectives of even
the most fluent pubhcist of the Gold
en- state. The western Worlds fair

of colossal.
position ever thought sports so inn
portant, and none ever lavished
one-third as much money and ef-
fort on an athletic program.
But this is California, where
sport is more important than any
where else in the world" shyly ad-
mits Major Art McChrystal, direc-
tor of the program. ''We won't
have any world champion prize
fights, and no All-Star baseball
game as will the New York fair,
but 80 per cent of our events will
be In the exposition grounds, not
off over town somewhere.
The so-caIled minor sports will be
staged in a swift succession of
events, and will include everything
from yacht racing to the National
Open championship for horseshoe
pitchers. And perhaps fair direc-
tors are smart In not running a
championship priZe-fight - Unless
contenders show remarkable i'm
provement the horseshoe pitchers
would easily provide more excite
ment.
Indoor polo will be housed in a
coliseum seating 5000 people
around ring go feet long and 100
feet wide. In this coliseum, too,
viii be seen box lacrosse, the anna
teur rage of Canadian Old In
dian outdoor game brought inside
and played by seven men. As
fast, it is claimed, as hockey.
The N. c. A. A. basketball cham
pionship for west of the Mississippi
river will be held in the coliseum,

championship in fencing will be
held in June, the National singles
and doubles in handball May 1920,
the lawn bowling championship
September 1913, the voIley ball
championship May 1920, and the
national skeet championship August
Is.
That gives you some idea of the
programs magnitude. There are
other championships to be deter
mined, but they are too numerous
to mention. The good major has
gone to the trouble of inventing new
sports SO that additional champion
ships can be awarded. Darned un-
selfish, these Californians.

Nuts are another possibility for
Lenten meals that should be con-
sidered by every homemaker.
They, too, can be used for cro-
quettes and nut loaves, as well
as souff1es and casserole combi-
nations. Nuts can be combined
with vegetables for a main-course
dish with fruit for dessert.
In the form of nut buffers, they
make a nourishing spread for
luncheon sandwiches.

a distinctive taste, and walnuts,

Most of US feel that meat makes
the meal. And it cannot be de-
MED that its savory extractives
give il a most appetizing and in
triguing favor. But there are a
number of other foods which con-
tain proteins of equal biological
value. Furthermore, nutritionists
hold that it is desirable to obtain
protein from a number of different
sources. That is because different
protein foods contain varying
amounts of different amino acids !;
and by eating a variety of protein
foods, we can best obtain a wide
assortment of these building
stones" of the body.

vor quite different from the

Most homemakers will also want
to use eggs more frequently dur
ing Lent, because they are so
readily available and easily pre-
pared. This is commendabIe, be-
cause besides being a fine source
of protein, eggs rank next to milk
as a protective food.
Only a few of the many possi-
bilities for Lent have been sug-
gested in this brief review. But
surely they give hint of the many

maker can choose on those days
when she plans meatless meals.

Colby and without bias, it must
be said that each side to the battle
predicates its conclusions and con-
ception of its rights upon thirst for
more power. Mr.. Roosevelt, as
President, conceives that he should
be boss; the senators, as representa-
tives Of sovereign states, conceive
that they are the elected represent
atives and they are not going to
have a single individual, even
though it be the President of the
United States, dehorn them of the
strength that an election by popular
vote gives them.
Moreover, the President must do
political knitting. He must keep the
weave as free of knots as is posi-

Advisers Reckoned Not
With Senatorial Courtesy

After the manner Of senate pro-
cedure, Senators Glass and Byrd
rose in their places In the senate
and pronounced Judge Roberts
personally offensive" to them.
That was enough. The senate, as it
has done so many times before,
promptly rejected the Roberts NOM
nation by the terrific JOLT of 70 to 9.
It was such slap that even the
Virginia senators were surprised at
its overwhelming character. 1t
surely made the fact abundantly
clear that Mr.. Roosevelt could not
get away with his theory namely,
that a President can pick nominees
without ''the advice and consent of
the senate" as the Constitution spec
lies. But it did not have that effect.
And here was where the President
made a great political mistake. He
sought to discipline the senate by
publication of letter to Judge Rob-
erts IN explanation Of the senate's
action. He scored Senator Glass and
he tarred Senator Byrd. They were
almost guilty of conduct unbecoming
gentlemen.
It was rumored that the strategy
of the Inner circle" was to have
Mr.. Roosevelt smear the two sena-
tors and thus create serious defec-
ton in their own political machines
in their native Virginia-which any,
one acquainted with Virginia poll
tics will tell you is much easier
said than done. It was reported
even that Mr.. Roosevelt would send
up another name without consulting
the two senators and If that were
rejected to send up still others.
That, believed the elmer circle, {"
would slowly force disintegration OF
the Glass-Byrd support
But the President and his I'M
trained political advisers reckoned
not with senatorial courtesy. Now,
senatorial courtesy is an intangible
thing. No one ever has been able
to define or describe IT, One simply
has to say that it exists and let time
prove the statement. The proof al
ways can be found, and the action
of the senate on the Roberts nomi-
nation, and since, certainly seems to
demonstrate that the senators viii
fight for their rights, or what they
believe to be their rights, on a col
lective basis. Each sticks by the
others; none knows when he may
need the same kind of help.

Age-Old Fight Between President
And Senate In Vicious Revival
Current Squabbe, Involving Senators Glass and Byrd
Invited by President Himself; Mr.. Roosevelts Attempt
To Discipline Senate Serious Political Mistake.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service National Press Bldg, Washington d. C.

WASHINGTON. - Through nearly
all of our nations history, there
has been a continuing controversy
concerning the respective rights and
prerogatives of the President of the
United States and the senate. 1t
has alternately smouldered and
burst into flame. It has been char
acterized by vicious outbursts from
one side or the other at various
times and il has made or destroyed
the political fortunes Of a great
many men.
Washington has been RECALLED with
a fresh revival of the controversy In
the last several weeks. The funda-
mental differences are the same as
they always have been. There are,
however, new names and new faces
and obviously the political fortunes
of individuals who have entered
upon the public stage IN recent years
are bound up in the boiling kettle.
Like the earlier embitterments over
these rights, this one will prove
4OL44A45 Ii k44G way u q hcA 5-N-G
solution.
The current fight must be said to
have been invited by President
Roosevelt. Perhaps, his course Of
action was urged by some Of the
Inner circle" which so often has
wrongly advised him lately, men
who do not know politics and who
ignore political history-but the fact
remains that the President carried
the fight to the senate, and there
are more than few observers who
expect that he will come off bad
loser.
Mr.. Roosevelt, as have reported
IN these columns earlier, was insist
ing upon his own selection for po-
Etical appointments where the sena-
tors from a particular state were
not receiving his smiles. The pro-
cedure was not pleasant but there
was no sensational outcry from the
senators concerned until the nurni-
nation Of Judge Floyd Roberts, to a
United States district judgeship, was
sent to the senate. Mr.. Roberts
was picked without consultation
even over others recommended
with Senators Glass and Byrd Of
Virginia. It proved to be the signal
for a riot.

For Meafless Meals

Fish comes to mind, first Of all,
as a main dish for the meal that
does not include meat. For those
who are far from the source of
supply of fresh-caught fish, there
are the quick-frozen varieties, the
dried and sailed fish, such as fin
nan haddie, shredded Goldfish and
block cod, and q types of canned
fish and shell fish.
Canned salmon is one Of the
least expensive of all protein
foods. And so many things can
be said in its favor that one na-
tionally known food authority re-
ferred to it as the most nutritious
animal food that could be had for
children over six. It is a notable
source of minerals, especially cal
ciunn, phosphorus and iodine. and
contains vitamins A, D. and G.

Cheese is especially good when
combined with such foods as mac

affords pleasing favor contrast.
And it helps to balance the menu
lin two ways First. the proteins
of cheese supplement those found
in wheat from which macaroni
products are made. Secondly,
cheese contains substantial
amount of fat, which teams well
with high carbohydrate foods,
such as any of those made from
the cereal grains. Cheese may
also be combined with vegetables,
to make another balanced food
team. The cheese contributes pro-
teins, energy values, and miner
ais, while the vegetables are an
outstanding source of cellulose or

erals.

Cheese is another splendid

And in addition, it contains the
