bered him as The Iron Horse.
Gehrig had played first base for
the Yanks for IA seasons, when he
had his first inkling that some
thing was wrong with him in spring
training of 1889. His once tremend-
Gus batting poer had left him.
At first, he thought it was a
spring slump. Then it became more
obvious, once the 1899 campaign
got under way, that it was more
than that. Hitting only ,l43, he
asked Manager Joe Mccarthy at
Detroit on May 2 to take him out
OF the lineup.
Gehring had made his decision
to step down two days earlier
Sunday, April so, after the Yanks
had lost a doubleheader to Wash
ington. In that game he slapped
down a grounder Buddy Myer hit
him. and tossed to Pitcher Johnny
Murphy. who covered first When
he got back to the Yankee bench
his teammates said to him:
Great play, Lou
In recalling the incident Gehrig
later remarked, Il said thanks to
them, but to myself 1 muttered,
Heavens, has it reached that
stage?'
II do not remember how I felt
sitting on the bench while another
man took my place for the first
time in 2l3l games" he said My
teammates say I cried. l don't
remember"
WENT TO CLINIC
On June II Gehrig left the
Yankees and went to the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, Mimi, for an
examination. On his 36th birthday,
seven days later, he received the
news that he was suffering from a
form of infantile paralysis and
could never play ball again. AL
though he remained with the YankS
until the close of the 1899 season,
his strength and health gradually
ebbed away.
He was seldom seen in public
after that although he went to the
ball park a few times last season.
Once when the Yanks we're III the
throes of a slump he sat on the
bench and tried to kid them out of
their doldrums. They won for him
that day. The Yanks reserved
Gehrig's locker for him even after
he left the club, and it's still there
in the dressing room today with
his name on it.
Gehrig and Ruth once formed
the backbone OF. the Yanks' awe

Wonder if time has healed the

the wound he suffered when he took

phia and lost the tournament. Well,
here he goes again day after to-

still tell you he is the best in the

There is considerable excitement
the impending hostilities between
Joe Louis and Billy Conn. Every
body asks whether Conn, weighing

against Louis artillery. The fact
that Buddy Baer knocked Joe thru
the ropes has aroused a suspicion
that the Brown Bomber is vulner-
able. The answer handed out by
this observer is that Conn has a
good chance if he can get through
the first five rounds without catch
ing a Louis punch that will rob
him of his speed and cunning. If
Bob Pastor can last the distance
against Louis, there isn't any rea-
son to think that Conn can't.

u. S. Cheese Consumption
Among Worlds Lowest

The average American housewife
appears to regard cheese as flavor
ing. But basically cheese is a food,
one of the best we have, being high

call it a good source of the calcium
and phosphorus we should all get
more of, a good source of vitamin
A, a fair source Of vitamin D, and
containing appreciate quantities Of
the vitamin B complex and Of vita
min c.
Americans use less cheese per
capita than almost any nation; the
Swiss the most. The average
Sweitzer will get away with more
than % pounds year; the average
Netherlander, Frenchman or Dane
between Is and IA pounds; the aver
age German or Englishman between
9 and 919 pounds, and the average
American or Canadian 4 to AZ
pounds. The figures are prewar.
They indicate clearly that Ameri-
cans are not getting their share.
Belief in the indigestibility Of
cheese appears to be based on con-
sumption of green or unripe cheese,
which is more commonly sold in
America than in most countries.
Properly ripened cheese is easily
digested. easily assimilated, and
very nourishing, to those with nor
NAL digestive equipment.

prove Of them any more than you
do so why continue to be a
sucker for a couple of first class
chiselers?
S. W. M.-Please tell me why
the people 1 visited Christmas
didn't answer my letter, and do the
undertaken and his wife like me?
Ans: l am sure that you will
find out it was not because they
have taken any dislike to you or
that they are holding anything
against you. We all know that
writing personal letters is a job
most of US neglect and ! am sure
you will find that your letter has
only been overlooked because of
this reason. The undertaken likes
you fine and so does his wife .
but you know women they
don't trust another woman too far
and especially where it concerns
their own husband.
L. MY complaint is that my
husband just drinks up everything
he lays his hands on. l talk to
him, but he won't listen to me.
He tells me to hush my big mouth
and l don't like to hear such kind
of talk.
Ans: And l don't blame you
one bit. Whiskey has broken up
many and many a fine home and
yours is mighty near the breaking
point. You cannot hope to find the
happiness you seek, unless you can
influence your husband to get on
the water wagon. If he is unwill-
ing to consider breaking up this
bad habit there is little hope
for peace and harmony together.
R. L. C.-The boy that I am in
love with, his people do not like
me and I have did all that could
for him and they do not want him
to see me. Will I ever get a
chance. No boy looks at me twice.
Ans: Nor will they give you a
second look unless you doll your
self up a bit. Most men like their
sweeties to look clean and neat
all the time and l assure you that
if you keep yourself looking prim
and pretty -. you'll have the boys
stretching their necks. You have
a striking personality, but you
keep it covered up. Be pleasant
and smile at the world. You can't
hope to hold friends when you go
through the world with a chip on
your shoulder.

Rotating Tires Reduces Wear

One way to save on tire wear is to
change the tires around every 1000
miles.
A plan Of rotating the tires on
various wheels can be followed
whereby each one of a set Of tires
travels but 5000 miles, although
the total distance travelled by the car
Is 10000 miles.
The idea is to move the four tire:
and the spare around the car clock.
wise. The first change puts the
spare on the left rear wheel, the
left rear tire on the left front, the
left front on right front, right front
on right rear and right rear on the
spare rack. Subsequent changes fol-
low the same scheme. This plan,
however. Is recommended only in
cases where all the tires are of the
same make. size. design and age.
