The heart is our most precious
organ. 1t is so much the center
of life that we attribute most of
our emotions to it. 1t is the cap
tain of our body, and when it ceases
beating all the other processes of
the living organism soon stop.
In this day, when heart trouble is
increasing alarmingly. we should do
everything possible to protect our
hearts. We know that emotional
stress, such as worry and unhappi-
ness, put a strain on the heart, and
that unwise physical exercise can
injure it.
When I was student preparing
for a career as a teacher of physical
education my instructors used to
say: Watch the heart curve. You
cannot be too careful about it"
Over and over this was pounded
into my consciousness. BY the heart
curve they meant the curve of the
hearts activity during exercise and
Immediately following it.
The rate of heartbeat should be
increased gradually and then gradu-
ally decreased. There should be no
mountainous jumps in its record.
Whenever teach an exercise class
I start my pupils out by having
them walk around the room, first
slowly and then with gradually in
creasing tempo, until they are walk
ing rapidly. At the end of the
period the heart also should be
slowed down gradually.
AS long as 200 years ago, Pesto-
lozzi, the Swedish educator, said,
Begin easy and end easy" This
is a splendid slogan to take with you
to all forms of exercise.
When we do not give the valves
of the heart an opportunity to

Gourmet Dinners
By G. Selner Fougner. M.
BdyYotDs & Co., Inc.

"A book Of gastronomic adven-
ture, with the menus of great meals
and the original recipes of the chefs
who made them So" runs the sub
title to this volume that Is almost
guaranteed to turn the sternest
ascetic into q gourmet Of the first
class. The sudden death of its
author, shortly before its publica-
ton, unhappily enhances its value
for such a record Of dining Is
unique and 1t is not to be expected
that another individual with such
a rich experience in the art will
be encountered for many q year
if, indeed, ever.
Mr.. Fougner, whose column,
along the Wine Trail" in the New
York Sun, was followed by thou
sands of epicures, has compressed
within the covers of his book the
high lights OF the really great din
ners and their menus which have
been outstanding in his life. The
supreme offerings to the members
of LES Anis dEscoff1er," Les
Cn6FdutTS Ou 1dSIcNl11 dIIO SA4Il14d1
groups of famous gourmets, are in
cluded-along with the chefs own
recipes for the marvellous dishes
themselves. The wines, too, are
listed, and to one who has learned
to love the art of winning and
dining as it was brought to perfec-
ton in Europe, every page brings
a pang for the culinary and vinous
joys that are no more.
Although this is not primarily
intended as a practical cookbook
for the novice in the kitchen, there
are any number of excellent recipes
that may be adapted for enter
tanning in the average household.
But, in reality, it belongs on the
library shelves of those who are
gourmets at heart, who wish to
treasure it as a record of an era
that may we'll be fading into the
limbo of forgotten things.

Unnecessary
Places Set
Reason Is Mainly
Esthetic, Not
So Practical
By Emily Post

According to formal requirement,
q lunch or dinner table is never
set with less than four places. This
exaction of table setting undoubt-
edly accounts for the confusion
evident in this readers question:
why is one supposed to set four
places at table, whether or not as
many as four people are to sit down?
We often have unexpected company,
that is true, but I don't see the
sense of putting extra places on
until the emergency guest arrive" Z"
think the hospitality idea the
incest, but the true explanation is
mainly esthetic. In short, form
and balance are both essential at
tributes of beauty. To set one place
at large table in large room is ut
terly forlorn; two places with long
blank between looks skimpy. Three
places would make the whole plan
lopsided. The rule to set no less
than four evenly spaced places
makes a completed and balanced
table. But this formal require
ment, like nearly all other formal
requirements, is. time-taking and
since houses with stats of servants
are growing fewer every year, a
greater and greater majority of
people are each year finding it much
more practical to set their tables
merely for the, number of people
who are to be seated.
Dear Miss Post: Is it customary to
tip a chauffeur when he meets the
train and drives a guest to the
house, and then later back to the
station? Perhaps actual details will
make q difference in answering, SO
the incident I refer to is this: A
group Of ladies were met and driven
a short distance to the house to
have lunch and play bridge. At
lunch this same man served. Later
he drove us to the station. The
group was divided on the question
of giving him something so we
ended by giving him nothing.
.Answer-For driving you such a
short distance it was quite right
to give him nothing further than
a polite thank you" The fact
that he waited on table had moth
ing to do with it, since in America
the butler is never tipped except
by a house guest. You might tip a
chauffeur who had driven very far
to fetch you and perhaps to take
you home again-or occasionally tip
one who has driven you on many
occasions without the family.

and phraseology are correct when
ever you write q letter. Send for

for
Child to Be
Stubborn
Contrariness Must
Be Dealt With
Intelligently
Bp Lettice Lee STREET.

IL v LefTCe lee OHSSf
The young mother with one child
may become quite disturbed when
she realizes that her bonny 2-year-
old is an exceedingly obstinate miss
or that her handsome 3-year -old son
has a rebellious mind of his own
that he does not hesitate to express
It is comforting news to hear that
the child who does not go through
a definite stage of negativism is SO
rare as to be considered almost
abnormal. Every average baby will
enter this period of contrariness
when his response to most requests
will be firm mol" loudly and
defiantly shouted. He wants to do
exactly the opposite of whatever is
asked of him.
Most girls are at their most stub
born point of behavior at about "a
months, and boys at about 8 years.
Boys are apt to keep this nom
compliant attitude longer than girls.
and they are also more noisily
mutinous.
If we guide our children sensibly
through this childhood tempest in
a teapot, and do not allow our
selves to lay undue stress on this
normal, but unpleasant situation,
1t will be over with more quickly
than If we aggravate 1t by calling
the baby's attention to his unsocial
behavior by nagging, scolding and
punishment.
The intelligent child learns from
contact with others that he fares
better when he complies with every
day life. and If his mother treats
him differently from the rest of the
world she is only delaying his
eventual and necessary adjustment
and doing her baby a real harm
The 2, or year old is still
hampered by an unwieldly body
over which he has not the control
he desires. He is unable to express
himself adequately In words, unable
to understand q great deal that he
sees and hears; and this exasper-
ates him. He finds himself con-
tinually faced with bewildering re-
quests and problems. He cannot
answer or meet them. so he assumes
a defiant attitude and angrily puts
his little back to the wall.
He is beginning to realize that
he is a person with rights. He will
not admit that he must give in, he
insists that the world give in to
him. Gradually, with an under
standing mothers help, he learns
that he can more successfully meet
his problems when he is pleasant
He discovers that matters are only
made worse when he doubles up
his fists and shouts q defiant, II
won't!"
The most successful way to meet
this expected character crisis Is to
observe what makes your baby re-
volt. Avoid asking him to do a
thing unless it is absolutely neces-
sary, and be careful to be fair about
interrupting engrossing play.
Babies love excitement, noise and
confusion. Try and keep your voice
low and casual while your baby Is
acting up," for If you do not he
will surely be all the more naughty
just for the fun of seeing you rise
to the bait.
Have you questions to ask con-
cerning the care of your baby?

 Jack Sharkey warned against punching the heavy bag after he developed a tennis elbow at that violent exercise. The Gob's right arm actually became shorter than his left. Jack Dempsey, Leonard and other ringmen did not consider a workout complete without . long session with the big bag.
 Until Max Baer,s father stopped 1t, Mike Cantwell hurled a heavy medicine ball against his big boys body while he lay flat on his back. Competent trainers shrink with horror at the sight, wondering how Cantwell figured all that jarring did Baer's insides any good.

 Pornpton Lakes, N. J.-Lou Nova isn't simply seeking publicity when he speaks of his hypothetic power house and illustrates his cosnic clouts.
 Joe Louis challenger is convinced heavyweights and fighters in general from Jim Figg to John L. Sullivan had better balance than those of today. . Nova realizes that speed, first acc centuated by Jim Corbett, took boxers from the flat. to the. balls of their feet, and that they no longer can walk in as straight as a string without getting their heads knocked off.
 What Nova is striving to attain, with the coaching of Prof. Walston Crocker Brown, who saw his need for 1t, Is happy medium.
 Professor Brown who has an ex- hibit at the Rockefeller Museum of Science and Industry in New York, went back to the ancient Greeks for his system, but all he is trying to show Nova is what Billy, Gibson used to tell Benny Leonard in much sin- pier language.
 'Now when you get this dude in the right spot" Will Gibson whis- pered to Leonard, grip that canvas with your toes and let him have 1t on the old potato"
 Nova at Pompton Lakes is further perfecting his series of dynamic punches with 8 paddle 28 inches long and with a white cover. Ray Arcel nearly breaks his arm daily holding the stick out there and mov- ing it around.
 Nova feels the device helps him get proper leverage with his right hand. He jabs the board with his left, blazes away with the right and follows with a left hook.
 Arcel, one of the better trainers sees no harm in this. =. points out that Professor Browns scheme ac- tually has improved Nova'S balance
 The collegian formerly was a sort of waddler. At times 1t appeared as though he had two left feet.
 The stick is an eye Sharpener if nothing else, so Nova may be con- tributing something worth while. Few warriors have introduced any, thing new in conditioning since George Dixor-Little Chocolate

MAURIELLO TO GET RET URN 60
 WITH NEW CHAMP l!
Announcer Gums Up Finish of "TitIe" Bout Before
 Small Crowd at N. s. C.
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Stan CorrespOndent)

4 hSwN%AA SS@AN@(~@wH
 New York. August 27 - (UP)-. Young Tami Mauriello-a substi' ute contender came so close N winning the light heavyweight titlG. last night that he has been re-. matched for Q return bout with champion Gus LeSneyich at the Garden, Nov. IA.
 Lesnevich, New Jersey veteran received Q split decision over thd, 21-year-old Bronx Italian in aH screwball finale that caused O.694 fans to shake the Garden girders with roars of astoniShnent.
 The 16-round brawl was so close 1t would have been 8 good draw. When announcer Harry Balogh. yelled into the mike: t'Winnah - and new champeenl', everyone naturally thought he meant Maub' riello had won. Such was not the case. Balogh was being technical.
 When LeSnevich entered the ring, he already was recognized as cham pion by the National Boxing Asso- ciation. And since last nights bout was sanctioned also by the New York commission, his victory made him lindisputed successor to Billy Conl1's vacated 175-pound crown.
 What announcer Ralogh meant and what he finally managed to explain, after loud and lengthy htlr- ly-burly, was that Lesnevich is the new champeen" in New York state
 Looked One Sided
 In this battle between experience and youth, 26-year-old LeSnevich started out to ''moider" his younger opponent. He gave slender, dark haired Tami boxing lesson in the first four rounds, fioored him for the count of nine in the second and gashed his left eyelid badly in the fourth. At this stage 1t seemed that Mauriello was in for a beat. ing. It seemed Promoter Mike Ja- cobS had made mistake in SubSti- tuting him as contender after Les- nevich'S original pponent- Jimmy Webb of St. Louis-had been knocked out in tune-up bout.
 But after the fourth round Mall- riello improved, and veteran Gus who apparently had weakened him. self pairing down to the 175-pound limit -bega to fade. Talni fought on even terms in the fifth and sixth and won six of the remaining ses- siOns. He registered a knockdown in the 18th, jaclZniflng Gus with B left to the belly and driving him to one knee with right hook. /
 Split Verdict
 Lesnevich, who outweighed Taml l75 pounds to 170 3-4, got the vote of the two judges, John Potter and Bill. Healy, but Referee Eddie Jos- eph ballotted for Mauriello, giving him 10 rounds to five. The United Press scored six for each fighter and three even.
 This defeat snapped Mauriellos knockout string at eight straight and was his second loss in 34 pro- fessional bouts.
 The gross gate, hamstrung by a rainy night. was $20,051.

 When medal play ended at sum- down yesterday, the starting field of 145 men was heduced to GA. Ar thurI Doering, Jr., of Chicago and Raymond E. Brownell, Jr., of Del Monte.

At 1:15 p. m. the 32 survivors of the first round will resume the contests and by to- night only Is men will remain in the tournament.
 Stewart (Skip) Alexander, the Burlington, N. C., entrant who won the medal with his IA score a record-plays Johnny Fischer of Fort Thomas. Ky, former national champion. Alexander shot a five under par 67 Monday, but he scared to IT yesterday.
 Poor Match Player
 Having turned in his score early, Alexander hung around the course all day, watching Johnny Burke of Chicago and others in the running for the medal, blow their chances. Twice before he has reached match play. but lost in the first round, despite shooting sub-par golf.
 Grateful
 "The fellows certainly presented me with something yesterday and ] hope they'll be as generous today, he said. My previous record in national match play isn't so hot and x& like to stick around while"
 The match should be one of the days best, because Fischer got the feel of the course on the closing nine yesterday and came home with . two under par S4 that give him total of 73.
 Another close forenoon match should be the one between Dick Chapman of Mamaroneck, N. Y. ene defending champion, and Lot Jennings of Portland, Ore. Jen- uings qualified at 15l. stroke less than the champion needed.
