Prettiest Girl In America
In 1922 Still Is Unmarried
Columbus*.—Nearly a decade ago
aho was adjudged the prettiest girl
in the United States and yet she has
never married.
Mary Katherine Campbell, of Co
lumbus, crowned “Miss America” at
Atlantic City in 1922 and 1923—the
only girl ever to receive that title
for two successive years—says the
reason she hasn’t marched to the
altar is because she’s never been in
love.
“Maybe it’s because I've done so
much traveling,” Miss Campbell
says, "that I’ve never made the sort
of friendships that might lead to
matrimony. I don’t believe in mar
rying unless a couple are deeply in
love."
This former beauty queen reverses
many traditions concerning “Miss
Americas.”
She doesn’t smoke or use cosme
tics or even take a tiny drink.
She never diets or worries about
keeping slender.
She’s never been in motion pic
tures and has no ambition to go to
Hollywood.
She’s sorry she won those beauty
contests.
The reason Miss Campbell regrets
winning the “Miss America” title is
because this distinction brought such
a flood of publicity she’s never since
been able to live her own life as she
wanted.
“Every time anything about me
appears in the newspapers,” she
says, “I receive a lot of telephone
calls. It makes me a marked girl.
If my appearance and conduct are
not perfect in every detail I am re
minded of it by friends who are told
by other friends and so on.”
After winning the beauty title at
Atlantic City—in 1922 she was only
a 16-year-old high school girl—Miss
Campell appeared in theaters for
eight months. She went to Ohio State
University for a year, went to Ohio
Wesleyan and then transferred back
to Ohio State. Then her mother
died and Miss Campbell came home
to keep house for her father. Her
stays in Columbus were interrupted
by short appearances in other cities,
chiefly to model dresses.
CITY FOLKS SHOULD
VACATION IN COUNTRY
AND VICE VERSA
Washington.—lf you live among
green fields in the country, advises
the United States Public Health
Service, take your vacation amid city
bright lights.
Only about half the American pop
ulation—the city dwellers —can get
the right kind of vacation on a trip
to the woods, seashore or mountains,
say the health authorities. The
other half, who live most of the year
in rural quiet, should take their va
cations in the speeder tempo of city
streets.
It’s a change that’s important.
Flashing electric signs, roaring
subway trains, squawking taxicabs,
hurrying crowds, furnish a needed
and stimulating change of scen.e for
the country dweller, though they may
be the very things the city man
seeks to escape when he vacations
in the country.
Getting away from familiar
scenes, changing one’s environment
as completely as possible, is a high
ly important part of a vacation, the
public health people explain. Hence
the advice to dwellers in the open
spaces to relax among skyscrapers.
Next to a change, play is the im
portant part of a vacation, but don’t
play too hard, urge Uncle Sam’s
doctors. After all. they say. the time
to rest is during your vacation, not
after you get back. The sightseer
in the city .should not pound the
pavements or dance over night club
floors to the point of exhaustion.
Neither should the office worker try
to swim across the lake the first day,
or tote a pack up the highest moun
tain in sight.
In the country, they advise you
to beware the typhoid or other di
sease t;erms that may lurk for an un
suspecting victim in roadside wells
or milk that is not Pasteurized or
certified. In the city, avoid too many
ice-old drinks, too much food and
too much exertion on a hot day.
Some people can sleep on a bed of
poison ivy and never suffer an at
tack, while others are “poisoned” at
the merest touch of its leaves, the
health service points out. Poison
ivey is like hay fever. Some people
are sensitive to it and some are not.
If in doubt, the way to find out is to
have a physician give you a test be
fore leaving.
And of course beach advocates are
reminded that a coat of tan on the
installment plan is better than ac
quiring one outright at the price of
a week in bed. Severe sunburn
seems to have a toxic effect on the
entire system. Ten minutes’ ex
posure is enough the first day.
THINGS ONE SHOULD KNOW
Make it a rule to rub all grease
from the kitchen range and gas
etove, while still hot, with news
papers. If rubbed off then there is
no difficulty in cleaning the stove
afterward.

TESTS OF STRENGTH
SHOW SMALLER MEN
HAVE BEST CONTROL
Washington.—The old idea that a
good big man can always beat a
good little one apparently is part
ly wrong.
Extensive tests by the Public
Heath Service point in that direc
tion, anyway, with nearly 500 men,
between 20 and 34 years old, as sub
jects.
Tentatively, the ideal weight for
strength and endurance was found
to be between 100 and 170 pounds.
Below 170, an increase in push,
pull, lifting strength, grip and lung
force was recorded for each 10-
pound advance.
Over 170, the tests showed erratic
results, with increases in one phase
offset by losses in others. As an ex
ample, pulling strength in the 160
and 170 pounders averaged 96.9
pounds, but dropped to 91 in the
180-189 group, while lifting capa
city roso between 180 and 190.
The greatest strength in all ca
pacities was found in men between
67 and 68 inches tall.
Strength was sjhown to increase up
to 30 years of age, remain fairly
constant until 50, then a decline be
gan.
OFFERING DAD A REAL SAVING
(By Edgar A. Guest)
The father sat in his red armchair,
“And what do you want?” said he,
“And why do you quake, and why
do you shake
Whenever you talk to me?
The young man said: “It’s a lovely
day!”
And he shifted in his chair.
••Is that all you’ve called on me to
say?”
Asked the father sitting there.
“Well, no!” then stammered the
pale young man,
For his tongue could scarcely stir.
“But we've really thought of a
splendid plan
To save you some money, sir.
“We’ve thought of a plan,” the
father asked,
“Some money to save for me?
Have two great brains on the scheme
been tasked
And whose can the other be?
“Your daughter’s sir,” said the
youngster grave,
“We’ve talked it all out, you see.
All she’s costing you now you’ll
save
By letting her marry me."

Bring The Child Up Right
The United States Children’s Bu
reau has offered several suggestions
to govern parents in dealing with
their children. The suggestions
were probably gotten up by an old
maid, but they are good, any way,
and if followed would bring about
a reformation. They are:
1. Give the child a regular fixt
allowance: teach him not to beg and
tease for additional money.
2. Let him learn by experience
that denial must follow extrava
gance.
3. Teach the child not to expect
pay for duties he ought to perform.
4. Encourage him to earn money
by giving him a real job, preferably
one which has real commercial value;
pay him no more and no less than it
is worth.
5. Be sure any work he does out
side the home is not physically harm
ful, and does not expose him to
wrong influences.
6. Don’t tip the child for render
ing small services to his elders or for
being good or polite.
7. Teach the child the value of
saving for a definite purpose, in
stead of for the mere sake of saving;
let him learn the felly of spending
all his money at once and of going
into debt to buy something he wants.
8. Tench him that saving things
that cost money is as important as
saving money.
9. Help the child to realize the
importance of giving as well as of
spending and saving.
10. Remember that the example
of financial responsibilities the par
ents set will influence the child’s at
titude.
All children should be taught the
value of money and as soon as they
are old enough to understand the
importance of money as relates to
purchasing articles for their needs,
parents should plan a budget for
them to be governed by, and when
they spend beyond the amount as
budgeted, they should be taught to
deprive themselves of buying until
after their allowance has been re
plenished by another period of the
monthly budget plan.

MARTHA BERRY’S WORK
IN MOUNTAIN SCHOOL
DESCRIBED BY WRITER
How Martha Berry began her fa
mous School for Mountain Children
with a melodeon and three earnest
students is told by Alice Booth in
the Good Housekeeping magazine
for August.
From these humble beginnings the
school now has a 20,000-acre campus
and $5,000,000 worth of buildings
donated by Henry Ford, the article
says.
Miss Berry is now Rationally
known and has been publicly com
mended for her educational work by
two * presidents, the late Theodore
Roosevelt and Calvin Coolidge. She
was chosen as one of America’s
twelve greatest women in the nation
wide contest conducted by Good
House keeping Magazine and recent
ly won the New York Town Hall
Club’s gold medal for an achieve
ment of lasting merit. In winning
it she defeated Booth Tarkington,
novelist; Bare Connelly, playwright;
Daniel Frohman, theatrical producer,
and George Foster Peabody, banker
and philanthropist.
Three mountain children were the
first students of Miss Berry. They
appeared one day when Miss Beri >,
then a girl just home from finishing
school, was playing on her little or
gan. Soon she had them singing
hymns, and on the following Sunday
they were back again, with other
children. The girl began to conduct
a regular Sunday school, and when
she saw how ignorant her pupils
were and how eager to learn, she
decided to devote her life to educa
ting them.
Man, 92, Hurt In Fall From Peach
Tree Limb
Akron, Ohio.—Levi Morgan, who
celebrated his ninety-second birth
day last fall, is confined to his bed
Friday for the first- time in more
years than he can remember.
He fell out of a peach tree.
A little girl was crossing the At
lantic with her mother. It was her
first ocean trip. The sea was as
smooth as the proverbial mill-pond
for the first three days, then the ship
began rolling and pitching heavily.
The child could not understand
what had happened. “Mamma,” she
said, “what’s the matter? Are we
on a detour?”
