The company denied any

The report recommended q

is. he weighs over 200
pounds. He eats constantly
and is always nagging ME
to go on a diet. He says 1t
doesn't matter how fat a
MAN gets. but 1t looks ter
rible on a woman. Can you
beat that? I'd be willing to
60 on a diet II he would.
Could you give me any sug-
gestions? PLUMP
First you've got to con-
vince him that excess blub-
Der doesn't look any better
on him than II does on you.
Then promise him for every
pound HE loses, you1l lose

FAMOUS FABLES

Steal: Dazzy Vance, fireball'
pitcher Of the old Brooklyn
Dodgers, always stuffed O
games supply Of chewing
tobacco into his hip pocket
before leaving the dugout.
As the game progressed. he
would pause now and then
for O. refill.
His motions were always
the same. no matter what the
situation on the field. He
would tuck the ball into his
armpit, remove the tobacco
pouch from his pocket, grab
five fingers full. replace the
pouch. take the ball out Of
his armpit and 90 into his
windup.
One day, when he was In
the middle Of his routine,
the runner on third suddenly
broke for home. Dazzy didn't
have time to reach for the
ball In his armpit. With a
lightning motion, he whipped
the tobacco pouch into the
plate.
The catcher made the tag,
the wary umpire cried "Safel"
and the runner, shedding
tobacco. trotted to the
dugout.
