How many days before you'll be
ready to start?" Griffith asked him.

his young first baseman countered.

That afternoon he made at least
three plays around first that left
your scalp sizzling. They were
plays no n but a great artist could
make. With a runner on second
someone laid a bunt along the first
base foul-line. The kid was on 1t

to nail the runner at third. 1t took
less than his first ball game to know
that another star was on his way

Another Fair Entry
There was the day back in Angus
ia around the same period when an
18-year-old STRIPPING came along.
First time up he laid down a
bunt, beat it out, stole second and
then third. He finished out the day
with a double, triple and home run.
The Hon. Oliver Babe Hardy was
among those present. Not a bad
afternoon for an 18-year-old kid.
His name was Tyrus Raymond Cobb
Of Royston, Ga.
Later on he only made over 1000
base hits and stole close to 1000
bases before he took off the spikes

Here's an Easy Way
To Do SHOCKING
BY RUTH WYETH SPEARS

A MOTHER writes: II have en-
"A joyed using the embroidery
stitches in SEWING Book 2. I
find a great deal Of pleasure in
handwork for the dresses of my
little ive-year-old, and am partic-
ularly interested in shocking"
Here is a trick that is useful
for making honeycomb shocking
in points without a special pat
tern. The fullness of any dress
may be basted into tucks Of grad
uated length, as at A.. Even a
little fullness in the center front
or at the neckline may be shocked
in one or two points. Always
haste the center front tuck first
and then work each way from it.
The shocking starts at the left
and is done with colored thread.

After cooking carrots until ten

seemed to be in a bad dream, o
the thing had come upon me like a
thunderbolt, and the past was all
spoiled as well as the future.
Arthur. as completely oblivious
Of any feeling of mine as he had
been Of ordinary decency and duty,
asked me If I would have the girl
at the house now and then, so
there would be no talk This, I
told him, was a physical as well as
moral impossibility. I simply
couldn't do 1t. On this point we
had our first serious quarrel.
"Since then I have not spoken to
Arthur directly. But for the chill
dren's sake a certain amount OF
civility must 60 on. Arthur con-
tinues to show nothing but COM
placency and high spirits. He tells
me that if he and the girl had e
sisted temptation-or love, IS he
calls it-then all three Of US would
be unhappy. AS it is, I am the only
miserable one, and they don't ex-
pect me to understand The girl
came to see me, and was fearful
and explanatory and heroic. I don't
think I spoke at all in the 10 min
utes I endured her company.
Arthur would be dropped from
the faculty if this were known. His
fine old father, president emeritus
Of another university. would die Of
grief. And how would my children
be bettered by the shame Of their
father? But I can't 60 on as things
are. These few weeks have shown
me that. Tell me what to do"
Advice to Marjorie.
Marjorie, the first thing to do is
get out, and take the children with
you. But not with any bitterness
or threats. Say to your few close
friends that you are taking the baby
to the mountains. Or that the small
daughter had two chest colds last
year and you think it wise to try
the shore. Not far from you there
are lakeside summer cabins which
rent in winter for as little as $40
a month. Find one and move.
This will have a triple advantage.
It will get you away from the i'm
mediate contemplation of an insult
ferable state Of affairs. It will
scare the complacent philandering
Arthur out Of his wits; he will be
lonely, disorganized and possibly
brought to a realization of what
wealth he had. and has done all he
could to destroy. And lastly. it will
terrify the girl. She may suddenly
awaken to the truth that she has
given everything for nothing, and
is in 4 fair way to lose position
and reputation.
When Arthur comes to his senses,
or rather, having obviously very
little sense, when he appreciates
that he has made an expensive and
foolish mistake, then come back,
forgive him, and resume the outer
shell Of the old happy. loving life.
You may never want to share his
room or his affection again; he
could hardly expect that. But for
the rest, take the blow that fortune
has dealt you, as every woman
must in one way or another, pick
UP the pieces, and face the future

der In your heart.

Danes Have Reputation
AS Skilled Lacemakers

One Of the Danish kings OF long
ago forbade all women who made
lace to leave the kingdom. He was
afraid that emigrants would divulge
to foreigners the methods Of this
marvellous native handicraft indus
try.
Today such forcible secrecy is out
of fashion but Danish peasant wom-
en- still have a monopoly in produc-
ing certain kinds of intricately
worked designs in fine linen thread.
A particularly desirable variety in
Copenhagen shops is Tonder lace,
made only by women in the little
town of that name, situated on the
Jutland peninsula.
Another famous sort Of needle
work found in shops in the Danish
capital is the Hedebo embroidery.
The technique in making this stuff
is many centuries old, but it con-
tinues to appear in new designs, as
it has since it originated in the
Middle ages.
Besides the cunning and rich de-
signs from cottage industry needles,
silver and china are two commodi-
ties that visitors should consider in
Denmark. Modern Danish porce-
lain may be from either the royal or
a private factory. The first kind
is identified by a trade mark show
ing three wavy lines which repre-
sent the three sea passages through
the Danish Archipelago by which
ships enter the Baltic, the Sound,
the Great Belt and the Little Belt.
The private pottery mark displays
the three towers on the national
coat of arms.
In either case china bought in
good shops in Copenhagen or the
other cities of the country is lovely
ware. The workmen who paint the
designs on it are real artists. Many
of them are descended from a line
of ancestors who have handed down
their skill from father to son and
the decorations are baked into q
clay mixed by process that still
is a secret.
Danish silver has the widest repu-
tation of all the artistic things pro-
duced in the country. In fact, it can
be purchased now in nearly every
large city in the world.

Mozambique Population
Retards Modernization

With an area nearly that Of Texas
and Louisiana combined, Mozam-
bique, or Portuguese East Africa,

$4,000, says the National Geographic
society. The native population, OF
many tribes, is about 4,000,0 900, or
less than one-third the population Of
New York state.
Despite the unusual fertility Of the
soil, navigable rivers and proximity
to the ocean, with ample harbors,
development Of Mozambique was
long retarded by hostile natives,
wild animals, bog-bound rivers and.
malaria. A century ago "a out of
every 40 Europeans died there of
fever. Today, with ordinary precau-
tons, farmers, miners and others
have little fear of fever.
Mozambique's more than 1,400
miles of African east coast, oppo-
site the island Of Madagascar, is
now dotted with cities and towns.
Eleven thousand miles Of good roads
form network over the colony con-
Meeting every important town and
there are more than 1900 miles Of
railroads, connecting with British
rails in South and Central Africa.
Hydro-electric plants have been

ments, aside from hunting with bow
and spear, are dancing and music.

Government Is Promoting
Sorghum Breakfast Food

The department Of agriculture is
promoting a new breakfast food,
made from grain sorghums.
The grains, feterita, kafir and mi
10, are said to compare favorably
with corn and wheat cereals in taste
and nutritional value.
Increasing popularity Of the new
cereal is predicted by the depart
ment's food experts. The Farm Sc
curity administration has instructed
its home demonstration agents to
introduce it among low-income farm
families.
Tests made by the department
showed the food value Of grain sor-
ghums only slightly below corn and
wheat. Raw, white corn has 1,758
calories per pound, while feterita has
1,736. Wheat has 1,675 per pound.
'In the light of these facts, the
Farm Security administration con-
siders itself on safe ground in spon-
soring the grain sorghums as food,
though there are many things we
would like to know" an official
said.
The circumstances which prompt
ed the FSA to sponsor the new food
were largely financial. Grain sor-
ghum is the cheapest source Of sew
eral food elements. It is grown
extensively In the Southwest.
The grain sorghums may be used
nc "a hreadsfIIff az uyel1 as a hreaL.
fast cereal. When finely ground it
makes an excellent muffin, the food
experts said. They have demon
strated their qualities in scores Of
communities.
The grain sorghuns constitute q
breadstuff more wholesome and less
expensive than white flour custo-
marily used, FSA report said. The
flavor is a surprise to people who
have considered such grains largely
as an economy measure.
