FAILURES NOTED

The percentage is against foreign
track stars or fighters making a
successful American debut in top
flight competition, despite brilliant
performances abroad. Initial fail
ures were registered by such invad-
ing track performers as HanneS
Kolehmainen, Joseph Guillemot
Hubert Houben, Miklas Szabo, Sgd
ney Wooderson, Taisto Maxi and the
two Swedish runners, Edwin Wide
and Erik Ny. However, there were
such notable exceptions as Paavo
Nurmi. David Lord Burghley, Char
ley Hoff, Dr. Otto Peltzer, Luigi
Beccali and j. Z. Lcve,ook.
Hagg is one of the most widely
publicized athletes to visit these
shores, and with good reason. He
holds seven world records = from
1900 meters to 5000 meters. His
time performances are amazing
But, speaking of stop watches. no
one knows for certain just how fast
Greg Rice can run, because we
can't recall that he's ever been
pressed
Hagg has run the 5000 meters in
less than Ii minutes. a feat which
Paavo Nurmi once declared impos-
sible. Galloping gunners has reg
iStered 1882 against Rice'S best
5000-meter time of l4:33.4. Rice
has run the 5000 five times, almost
invariably in terrific heat. If Sum
day is a hot day, we wonder if
Hagg can maintain the pace that
he set in cooler Sweden last year.
HAS ADVANTAGE
On running form, Hagg, too,
seems to have the advantage. He is
a slender, willowry blond who
glides effortless over the track-a
feather-footed chap who seems to
have floating power. But stocky,
barrel-chested Rice pounds the
track as ne runs, and his stride is
a foot short of Gunder's seven-foot
track-eater. Moreover, the flying
Swede is "a years old against Rice's
28.
Hagg is temperamental-a moody.
impulsive chap. He has shown that
during his training at Dartmouth
training that followed a long ocean
voyage on rolling tanker. We have
seen many temperamentai athletes
fold up when the going got rough.
There's nothing temperamental
about Americas Mighty Mite"
He'll run his heart out, if he has
to. That's why were stringing with

Lamb Good
For Quick
Dinners
By Edith VI. Barber

The business woman houSekeeper
has always depended upon lamb
chop for the quick meal. As we hope
there will be as many Of these as any
other meat this summer, she may be
able to 60 on using them. All chops,
except loin, have the same point
value as they did last month.
There are other lamb dishes which
can, however, be used for the quick
meal. The cuts which are suitable
for these have been reduced In
point value. except IN the case of
ground lamb for patties which re-
mains the same. Ground beef OF the
hamburg variety demands the same
number Of points.
One particularly savory dish OF
lamb is used for skewer cooking
or "kebabb."
I hope that you have on hand
some metal skewers, because they
are pretty hard to buy just now.
Boneless neck, which demands flve
points per pound, or the square cut
bonelesS shoulder at seven points
can be used for kabobs. 1t should be
cut at the market IN l-inch pieces.
Marinating meat with French dress
ing for several hours Will give II
q marvellous flavor. Alternate pieces
of eggplant, Or slices of onion ar
both may be placed between the
pieces of meat. Broiling IS the meth
cd used for cookery. and the skewer
should be turned occasionally dur
ing the to 10 minute cooking.
KEBABB.
l pound solid lamb or beef.
3 slices bacon.
medium-sized onions, sliced.
French dressing.
Have meat cut in 1-inch pieces,
cut Bacon in 1-inch pieces or use
bacon squares. Cover with French
dressing and let stand at least one
hour Drain, save remainder OF
dressing for use In salad. Arrange
lamb, bacon and onions alternately
on 4 metal skewers. Broil about ~
minutes, inches from fame IN
preheated broiling oven. Turn oc-
caSionally until well Drowned.
Small pieces Of eggplant may also
be used.

Your Three Cents Worth
Covering Walls With Pages of Newspapers Is Newest
Most Eye. Catching Whmsy in Home Decorating

Newsprint has remarkable deco
rative value! Designers and deco
rators are using it these days as
they would wall paper or transferred
TO frabic for drapery. 1t has almost
the same quality as the document
chintzes or the toile de jouy which
depicted important historical events
on wall covering and fabric in CO.
lonial days.
That small telephone room or
powder room which needs some
thing to pep 1t up might have the
walls papered with black and white
newsprint. with the addition Of one
or two clear, bright colors in a win
dow drapery or chair cover, this tiny
cubicle may become one Of the most
interesting spots in the house.
There are several ways this may
be done. You may use the hit-and-
miss method which will mean that
the pages are pasted to the wall at
every angle, with headlines and pic
lures superimposed one upon an
other for their decorative value
alone. Or you may combine the
decorative value with the actual
story, selecting front pages with i'm
portant news events so that you
may read a complete story while
long distance gets your connection
for you.
The procedure Is the same as for
any wall papering job. Plan your
main and most important wall first.
Start your papering from this focal
point. Continue around the room,
tucking each new sheet under or
superimposing it upon the last. II
you prefer, the white borders may
be trimmed from the pages so that
there are no breaks in the continuity
Of the background. When the wall
is completed it may be shellacked or
treated with sizing to make 1t
cleanable, or 1t may be left as 1t is

Ever since mice girls" began to

Good Manners Help to Offset
Many Annoyances of Wartime
BY .4nSeI0 PART

There can be no denial Of the
charge that manners in ordinary
walks Of life are not q matter OF
national pride Young, strong men
on their way to work keep their
seats in crowded cars and gray
haired men and women stand. Boys
and girls on their way to and from
school are noisy, rude and incon-
siderate OF other passengers.
Everybody knows that we are un-
dermanned in every civilian job but
people behave as though there were
man at their elbows waiting to
clean up after them. They TOSS
chewing gum wrappers on the plat
forms, OH the floors, Oh the stairs,
wherever they happen 10 be. They
litter the streets as casually Is they
walk through them. They streW
papers ON the lawns Of the parks,
along the beaches, although they
are the ones who use these parks and
beaches and write or telephone to
the Office to protest the slightest
lessening or letdown of service there.
Home manners are surprisingly
bad. Maybe 1t is the war. Every
thing goes wrong in wartime.
Whatever the reason, the little
courtesies, the gentleness, polite
ness of the old-fashioned homes
are missing. Children and young
people keep their seats when older
people stand. They interrupt con-
versation aud III loud tones pro-
claim their boredom. They turn
on or turn Oh the radio regardless
OF the listeners preferences. Again,
these bad-mannered ones are In
considerate OF others feelings.
Older people are not setting too
good an example Of manners to
the young people. They interrupt
