Pitching Distance Hailed by
Fans as SoftbalTs Biggest improvement
New Regulations
Also Hit Against
Touring Tromps'
BY JERRY BRoNDFTELD
NEA Service Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO - Softball fans who
~ grew tired Of witnessing games
where half-dozen hits made the
contest a suggest are enthusiastic
about this years rule which puts
the pitchers box 43 feet from the
plate instead Of 40
1t has long been the contention
that the advantage-and a great
one-has been with the pitcher.
Big-handed hurlers wing the H.
inch ball plateward with startling
speed.
Because of the shorter distance
the ball travels IL is much more
difficult TO get a bat around To
meet IL than IL is for hardballers TO
cope with fireballers in the majors.
No-hit and one-hit games are
far from unusual in softball. Many
pitchers have as many as three or
four perfect games To their credit.
Another pitching rule instituted
by the National Softball associa-
ton is that which says the hurler
must stand with both feet squarely
on the rubber for not less than one
second before starting his delivery.

Use Originality
In Seasoning.
When seasoned just right and
served piping hot, any one of these
soups will make an appetizing meal
for the most critical family. Orig
inality In seasoning will do much
to change the flavor of the SOUP
each time it is served. Get variety
by choosing among onion, celery
leaves, pepper corns, bay leaf, pars-
ley, sweet basil, thyme, and any of
your favorite herbs.
Garnishes for the soup are also
important in giving it "eye appeal"
Sailed whipped cream is good on
soups that have definite color and
flavor. Try sprinkling the cream
with paprika. chopped celery leaves,
chopped parsley, or minced chives.
Popped corn is a pleasant surprise
to float on top of cream of corn soup.
Croutons are another favorite. Make
them by browning cubes of dry bread
In deep fat or in the oven.
Special bread to serve with SOUP
Is so important that it seems to be
almost a part of the dish itself.
Crackers are always popular. and
there Is almost endless variety Of
them today. You can restore crack
ers to their original crispiness by
heating them slowly in the oven.
Toasted fingers or rounds Of dry
bread, cheese straws or puffs, and
pastry sticks are also good.

They go through long engagements
that end up in their being Tilted for
younger and fresher faces. And, no

how it happened that she had never

NOExcuses
For Lack
OfPoise
. Is Essential Today
To Exercise Both
Mind and Body
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If you are not some ones Valen-
tine today, probably it is because
you are an Indifferent beauty. For
it is a pretty well-established fact,
that attractive women do not want
for attention from men.
You do not have to be a raving
beauty to attract men to you, but
you must be meticulous about your
person and do everything in your
power to preserve your mental poise
as well as your body poise.
Many a girl has sacrificed q
splendid marriage through the loss
of temper. Men abhor q bad tenn
pered woman and they run from
her If it isn't too late! If you prac-
tice mental poise your temper will
never run away with your better
Judgment, you will always be mas
ter OF the current situation and you
will have no cause for regrets!
Your body requires sufficient ex-
ercise to keep it limbered. How can
you command attention. in any
group If you are stooped-shouldered,
walk in jerky tense steps and have
little aches from head to toe? Yet
many women who are lethargic, and
who laugh at ones suggestion to
exercise, have these physical faults
and more. They may blame them
on the work they do, how they were
raised, or the lack of time to en-
brace q competitive outdoor game
for exercise. IF had the time and
money to learn how to golf" they
say as an excuse. Or, IF she had
to do the housework I do every day,
she wouldn't be so beautiful"
The trouble is not with what you
do. Every woman alive can find
sufficient time to exercise and if she
is the least bit interested in health,
a long life, or her personal happi-
ness, she will take time to exercise.
If she cannot get out of doors to
enjoy the benefit Of the fresh air
and sunshine as she exercises, she
can at least open window of her
home, air room, and get down on
a rug to roll and kick. Either method
will correct many Of her chronic
ailments!
A mind, your mind, needs limber-
ing, too. I'm amazed at the women
who are satisfied to let q year 60
by without reading a good book,
current magazines (other than the
pulp variety and keeping up with
what's going on in the world. They
seem satisfied to stick at home, to
dream away the hours or wish them
away, and grow old long before
they should.
Try giving your mind q few
hurdles. Get out into intelligent
company and attempt to join in a
stimulating discussion. II you find
yourself unable to join In, deter
mine that minute to do something
about your ignorance and mental
lethargy.
II you find you don't fit in" with
the women you meet, stick to a pro-
gram of self Improvement until your
attractiveness is recognized. A slug
gish mind takes just as long to gain
poise as a sluggish body. But keep
giving 1t exercise and air 1t occa-
sionally! Sweep out = lot Of those
cobwebs which are dimming your
viewpoint.

plenty Of women like me-" she added
philosophically, who are always un-
lucky IN love. There is q fatality
that always makes us set our hearts
on the men who will beat us and
starve us. We never make a mar
riage about which our mothers love
to boast"
Oh, many explanations may be
offered for this vagary of the
feminine fancy for the men they
shouldn't marry. Young and un-
sophisticated girls think it is roman
tic to have man make love to them
who has dark and unsavory past.
The quiet and domestic type of girl
is fascinated by the tramp who tells
her tales Of wild adventure of which
he Is the hero. The girl with the
instinct Of the reformer in her is
allured by the prospect Of having a
victim always at hand whom she
can make over according to her own
pattern.
And there are many other girls
who, as father once said to me with
disgust, speaking of his daughter,
seem to have passion for the great
unwashed. But the real thing that
makes so many girls wreck their
lives for unworthy men is the fatal
maternal instinct. It is the mother
pity for the man who is still a child
and cannot cope with the world;
the mother impulse to take into her
arms those who are weak and sick,
hungry and discouraged, and COM
fort them.
It is q grand and noble sentiment,
but 1t plays hob with the lives of
many good women.
