UCCESS ht^oo in life depends j __________ upon
a clear, quick brain and the
energy to use it. The ability
to think clearly is governed large¬
ly by our health, and our health
by what we eat. After a heavy
breakfast, we are likely to feel
stupid all morning, perhaps all
day, and if this occurs often we
get the reputation of being slow
and stupid, and our advancement
is equally slow. It pays to con¬
sider the menu of the morning
meal; to eat those things wh'eh
give buoyancy and a quick brain.
Of all the energizing foods,
pineapple is one of the most ef¬
fective. A slice or two of pine¬
apple the first thing in the morn¬
ing, or a dish of crushed pine¬
apple, or a drink of pineapple
juice goes “to the spot,” and sets
one up for the day. 'There is a
scientific reason for this: Pine¬
apple contains mineral salts, an
enzyme “broinelin” which acts as
a digester of other foods, and also
the three most important vitamins
in large amounts.
Juice and Fruit Can Be Used
The housewife who wishes to
feerve Hawaiian pineapple juice in the
manner will find on
pouring the juice from a large
can of sliced pineapple that
she has one large measuring cup

BASEBALL UMPIRES HAVE EASIER JOB
TIS SUMMER ON DUSTLESS DIAMOND
Ruth-Gehrig Race for Homers Spurs Others to Hit Long

of Country, Sports Writers Declare.
-I’ - '* ASEBALL umpires every day

ance risks principally because
dust, once the bane of the blue-clad
arbiter's existence, is being elimi¬
nated.
Sports writers all over the country
are taking notice of the improvement,
even in the wildcat leagues of Texas
and the Far West where the old
fashioned “skin” diamonds are being
replaced by grass-sod affairs that com¬
pare favorably with major league
grounds.
In the older days, decisions at the
bases and at home plate were always
close because the runner tore up the
ground so viciously that he invariably
raised a cloud of dust, a dust screen—
to borrow the nomenclature of naval
strategy, that hid his efforts front the
umpire.
In that cloud of dust the umpire
wae frequently at his wits’ end to de¬
cide the play properly. His uncertain
attitude was frequently misunderstood
by the fans, with the result that pot
bottles, thrown with great force, were
aimed at thfe judge of play.
Now he has an easy time, speaking
comparatively, for dust is scarce.
Sporting writers who have studied the
matter this year explain the lack of
dust as due to several factors.
First, of course, has been the bet¬

More than 1,000,000 men, women and
children every day found play and
recreation on public playgrounds last

New Light ^

street ns she and Jack Wallingford
sat close beside each other on the
porch steps. Never had the neat,
deal) little houses looked plainer or
less interesting. The street In front
of them was as silent ns death. Sud¬
denly everything In Cornelia’s pro¬
testing nature welled up in a big
choking sob and she dropped her head
on tier knees and wept.
“Oh, Conny, dearest, what is the
matter?” asked Wallingford, drawing
tier closer to him. “I've known alt
along that something was wrong and
it’s breaking my heart your not tell¬
ing me what It Is.”
In Hie half light of the moon his
dark face looked almost tragic as be
leaned over his little sweetheart and
tried vainly to soothe her.
“You’re going to tell me now,” he
almost commanded. “I won't leave
until you do if it's two o’clock toinor
row afternoon.”
"It's only that I'm so—so miserably
unhappy. I've lived In this dreary
hole all of my life anil I’m sick of It,
f want to get away. The very sight
of these dingy old houses makes me
sick, . . . Look at my chum, Nell
Winton. What did she do hut pack
her trunk and go oft to New York and
you just ought to i"'ud the letters she
writes. 1 got another today. She has
a Job In some wholesale office and
oh, New York must lie heaven. She
wrote me twenty-four pages last week
all about Coney Island ami the rich
people she’s seen driving along River¬
side. She’s met a girl there who
takes her around Saturday afternoons
and Sundays and shows her things.
. . And the museums and the zoo
and the mansions. JShe says they’re
palaces really. It must lie sort of a
fairyland. I do so , want to go up
there. It seems as If this little hole
would rise up and smother me. Hut.
of course, I can't go. I'm tied by the
leg. I couldn’t leave mother by her¬
self. But . . . life doesn't seem
worth living any more. I'll never be
satisfied in this pokey little place
again. Never.”
Cornelia hurst Into another fit of
weeping and .lack In his big clumsy
way tried awkwardly to soothe her.
But In that short moment lie had
become suddenly self deprecating. He
felt that lie was part of the whole
setting and that she was revolting
against him. as well as the town. Cer¬
tainly he coaid not measure up tiMinv
New York standards of wealth and
glamor, lie who was just an ambi¬
tious, plodding young lawyer whose
highest longing was to own a pretty
home somewhere on one of the better
streets with Cornelia presiding as mis¬
tress over It. Somehow he felt Ills
dreams crumbling in ashes over It.
There was something so intangible
about the situation. lie could not
grapple with It; It was like being
struck in the dark. Ills sweetheart
was there In his arms, yet she was
not really there, for her heart and
mind had wandered* away front him
into the misty future.
“Then I guess our IHtle plans about
getting married are all up,” he said at
last sadly.
“Oh, Jack, you don’t understand
f just couldn’t settle down. I must be
part of that great rushing throng of
people that Nell talks about so much,
and perhaps some day I shall be able
to go. Maybe I cun earn enough to
•my a companion t*> stay here and
care for inn! her.”
Jack said lillle in answer to her
arguments; after a while, he took him¬
self wearily off down the deserted
street, a lonely, solitary figure In the
dark. :
Summer rushed Into autumn, winter
came at last and with It Cornelia bad
lost every vestige of her old ga.vety.
It was on n cold morning when she
saw a familiar figure hurrying down
I lie street toward her. She dropped
her broom and rushed to meet her.
“Nell I” she gasped. "When did you
g<it here and why did you come?”
Together they walked into the glow¬
ing kitchen their tears falling un¬
ashamed as they clung to each otiier.
"It's been terrible," sighed Nell at
last. “I lost m.v job, then I got sick
and all in all 1 never was so lonely
and homesick In all my whole life
Sometimes I thought I would die from
sheer longing.”
"But you didn’t write like that,"
protested Cornelia angrily.
“No. I was ashamed to since I’d
fussed and fumed at home until they
let trie go, hut I guess I got enough.
Me for the little home town after this
with Its friendly faces and people
who’ve loved you all your life.”
For a moment Cornelia stood as one
stunned then excused herself and

A A NNE’S heart gave its queer little*
jump, just as it. always did, wh: i
she heard Kent’s clear voice over tlin
telephone.
“Hello, Anne,” the voice came, with!
a swift, tender touch on her muni.
’There is danger ahead. I have Jut t
been tipped off by father’s secretary
that Had Is driving out to see you.
You can guess why be is coming—to
try to convince you that you should
not marry ids son. Don't—”
“Ob, Ken—” she cried in dismay.
His voice changed to a deeper no’.a
that in many a mood she loved to
hear.
“Remember—you belong to me, and
no one cun take you from me. I ait

and here’s the point—don’t pay any
attention to what lie says. Just a»
soon as I can get my car I am coming
hot on his trail. Be of good cheer,
Brown Eyes, and—-remember!”
She turned from the telephone wild
the gay “remember” chiming softly la
her ears, but the next moment her
thoughts were dark with dread. Her
meeting with Kent the month before
had been an accident; and even the'*
friendship that had swiftly turned id
love had come about so surely that's! 4
had not thought of the consequence t
She knew his father, as did everybody
in tier suburban town, as a great and
successful, city lawyer; and from Kent
she bud gathered that after the deal’ll
of his mother his father had grown a
bit grim in ids ways and had adopted
peculiar Ideas.
She dreaded the thought of meeting
him, and her thoughts were anything
but happy. Perhaps it would not b«
wise for her io marry Kent, and try;
to step frotn her small world into big
big one.
In ihe midst of her troubled mus¬
ing tlie doorbell rang. When slia
opened the door she faced a tall mail
whose bulk frightened her. She knew:
in a glance It was Kent’s father —ri
head taller I ban Kent, and he was big
enough.
His eyes were keen, but Ids volcig
was mild as lie greeted her, and ln\
made It very easy for her to usher hint
Into the riving room and begin the con¬
versation.
“I am a bit late, but I had somei
trouble in finding your street,” he said
with a smile.
“It is a little home street,” she an¬
swered, not. very well known."
He nodded and pondered a momenta
“Miss Elmer, T suppose yon know my,
errand. I w'.sli there were some quiet!
way In which we could come to an un¬
derstanding. You see, Kent Is my only,
boy, and I have great hopes that hit
will marry the daughter of one of my;
old friends. I soy this frankly because)
I feel you will see my position—sue! i.
a marriage means happiness for nl
circle of ns. In addition, Ids world
Is quite a different world than—them
yours.”
She smiled, although her heart wa.e
hurt. “Just what do you mean?"
He smiled In turn and said mildly J
“Well, his Is a world of wealth amt
all It means.”
“Mine, please, is a happy one e\euj
without the wealth,” she said as mild¬
ly as he had spoken. “There are sonic)
worlds of wealth I do not core to en¬
ter—even—even with Kent; if youriS
is that kind, then you need have ins
fear. But as 1 know him, Ids is a’
world of friendliness, appreciation of
others, regard for men und women no
matter whether they are wealthy or
not. Is yours different than his?”
He cleared his throat. “You do not
see ray point. I—’’
He paused and half turned toward
the door. Faintly through it came the
fragrant odor of Ihe supper her
mother was preparing, and Anne’s
quick eye noted the look of Interest
on his face.
“Mother Is preparing dinner. You
have a long drive back to the city.
Won’t you stay with us?" she said ea¬
gerly, the thought In her ndnd tln.t
Kent might he along in time to rescue
her.
She could see that he was badly
tempted, and In a moment he surren¬
dered. She surmise*d that Ids wflllii -
ness was due in part to see just whet
sort of home was hers. But she wrt
proud of her dark-haired, brown-eye I
little mother and their winsome lit
tie home.
He started when he saw her inottu** -
and seemed pleased when he found
himself at the attractive dining table,
but Anne hud to smile ns she saw hl3
evident pleasure in one dish—potatoes
cooked In milk gravy as her mother
alone could cook them.
Anne was soon out of the conver¬
sation, for her mother with her quick
mind was a match for the lawyer. The
minutes passed, and In the midst ot
‘hem the bell rang, and without cere-
4 pony, as was his way, Kent came In,
his black eyes dancing.
“Why, hello, l»ad, you here?” he ex¬
claimed.
The older man looked up. “Cer¬
tainly, and let me tell you something.
I suppose you think you are to have
a share of tills potato. You’re not.
I’m to have yours!” His grey eyes
twinkled. ”B.v the way, what Is the
idea of forcing me to come out here
alone to get acquainted with your
bride-to-be?”
Anne gasped and looked at Kent.
Il« blinked. “Say —say that again,
will you, father?”
His father turned to Anne’s mother.
