BEVERLY HILLS—Wei! aii ! know
la just what I read in the papers, or
tiae. Weii air! started in iastweek to
teii youabont a
trip! had a few
weeks ago, where!
just started in to
go over into Texas.
Wei) I got there
and had a great
time at the ranch.
Butt oniy had a
short time before!
ieft for our trip
around the worid,
so! decided to go
on over into Okla-
homa and sea my
Bister and foiks. So grabbed an eve-
ning piane out of Amariiio. i had just
come in there that morning on one
from the Coast. Then on into Wichita,
KanB. Got a iittie sieep that night,
then down to Tutsa in Oiiman Mabie'a
piane, a fast Lockhead. He used to
trade and seii muies. Now he has more
hoies in the ground than a gopher, and
the funny part of it. the things got oii
spouting out of em. They got one Heid
caiied "Mabie Fieid." But its not just
Maby.itsreaiiy there.
First ianded in Tuisa, but 1 toid em
to go on over to Ciaremore. Thats 28
miies away, and say you know what
Ciaremore is doing? Putting up a fine
hangar. A rock one. No ship iH going
to break out of it if they ever get em
!n it. You see we got a fine miiitary
schooi there, Oklahoma Miiitary
Schooi. a state schooi. And they are go-
ing to have an aviation course of in-
struction, so thats how we got the
hangar. We aiready got a tine poio
team there at the schooi, the best one
in the Middie West, and now we going
to have us some aviators. Ciaremore
is booming. Dry and hot when i was
there, but its that way everywhere.
Weii went up 12 miies north of there
to where i was born, at our oid ranch.
Looked mighty good. They was thresh-
ing oats, and the women foiks was
cooking for the thresher, i got a niece
there that was raised in a city, then
married my nephew, a reai cowhand
and darned if she mint the best cook in
the Rogers County. Get a city gai if
you want a country wife. For these oid
country gais have had enough of it.
They are headed for the pavement.
Cities are fuii of country foiks, now aii
the city foiks are trying to get iittie
piaces in the country.
Caught the passenger tine out of
Tuisa for Chicago that afternoon. Then
changed for Cieveiand, then for Wash-
ington, and here 1 was in Washington
at four A. M. after ieaving Okiahoma
along about three in the afternoon.
There just aint any iimit to where you
can eat iunch and then eat dinner.
Washington looked pretty dopey.
Take ail those old Senators and Con-
gressman out of there and you have
removed a big comedy eiement, nnd a
iot of life. The rascais are aii at home
electioneering to get back. This old
politics is not Buch a cinch as its
cracked up to be. Had a Hne visit with
the Russian Ambassador. Speaks good
engiish. ! had met him in Tokio when
he was Russia's Ambassador to Japan.
Mighty accomodating iittie feiiow, 1
wanted to fix so i couid send my daily
dispatches back from there every day.
Before when! was in there iwaBent
Bending em (1 hadent started writing
dailys yet) so he assured me that no
censorship or any red tape wouid pre
vent it, and that goes for Sunday arti-
cies too. Toid me we might be abie to
fiy ciear across from the Pacific to the
Atiantic, or we might take the train for
four or five days, then the piane at a
piace about half way across caiied
Cheta.
Wei] then ! Hew that night up to N.
Y. Now get this. 1 have oniy ieft Los
Angeies three days before, and ! have
spent one day in Texas, one in Okla-
homa. and one in Washington. Oniy in
New York a part of a night, but saw my
iittie co-starring partner, Dorothy
Stone, in Maryinn Millers place in "As
Thousands Cheer." And was she a hit.
Ciever girls those Stone Girls. Paula

Caroi a big hit in a new piay "The
Sparrow." and Fred jUBt waiklng

Theatre, and we aii went to Dinty
Moores after the show. Thats the ex-
tent of my night iife in New York, 1
want Fred to play "Ah Wilderness" on
the road through the Middle West next
year. (He could do it great) and to big
houses. Let the young ones do the
dancing, just sit in a chair nnd talk
Eugene O'Neills iines, you cant go
wrong. Hopehedoesit.
Weii out at daylight to fiy to Maine
to see my Mary. Here i had started out
just to go to Texns.

GOOD NUTRITION NEEDS PROTEIN
Certain Amount Necessary
in the Daily Menu. ^
By EDiTH M. BARBER
HUD nutrition demands that a eer-
tain amount of our food suppiy
us with what is known as protein.
These foods are known to the scien-
tists as protein-hearing foods, and not
any two give us exactly the same
contribution. Protein itaeif of what-
ever kind IB a very compilcated ma-
teria). containing different amounts of
the substances known as amino acids
which number twenty or more, and of
which we need greater or smaller
amounts. This need not concern us if
we use a variety of the foods which
are high in totai protein in our diets
as one wili supplement another.
Some foods, such as milk and meat
and other animal protein, wili any one
of them give us aii that we need.
Cereals, which contain more proteiu
than we usualiy consider them to have,
iind in milk just what they iack as
far as protein is concerned. You see
the custom of serving bread with milk
and cereals with the same ilquld is
based on more than the contribution
which milk makes in flavor and the
fact that it adds moisture to a food
which ia rather too dry for our taste
when eaten by itself.
Protein foods when they nre ab-
sorbed by the biood after they have
been digested are first used to rebuild
the tissues which have worn out dur-
ing the day just by the mere act of
existing. Children, of course, must use
protein for buliding the new tissues of
their growing bodies, atid one of tiie
good reasons for aliowinx each child
a quart of miik a day is the contribu-
tion it makes on this count. if any
protein ia left over after the tissues
have taken what they want, what ia
needed for suppiying energy will he
taken, and then moat of tiie remainder
maybedepositedasfat. aslstheex-
cess of any other food. Many persons
have the idea that protein Is not fat-
tening because in most retiming diets
the proportion of protein Is large.
That is because we cannot negiect sup-
plying daliyprotelnfortlie tissues nnd
also because some of the calories
which protein may suppty are used up
in its digestion, if, however, we over-
eat of protein foodsasweilns of any
other, extra fat wittusuattyresuit.
Besides the foods mentioned ai-
ready fish, eggs, cheese, nuts and
vegetables known as tegumes, which
we know as peas, hoana and ientiis.
are well supplied with protein. It
would he possibie to get what we need
from vegetahie sources, hut our meats
would he rather huiky and even the

cheese in his diet. As far ns the
food question is concerned, variety
is not only the spice of iife but its
dietetic solvation.

Lights of New York L L STEVENSON
When tite heat comes, thousands
ieave New York. They have many
places to go. Tite seashore huttgaiow
coionies are iittie cities In themseives.
There are other summer cities up in
the mountains, in addition, titereare
hundreds of iakes. in fact, the state
of New York offers just about every
variety of scenery, except desert, that
a vacation iover may desire. Since
that is true within commuting dis
tance, during tite summer many New
Yorkers merety toii in town and steep
and play away from the tights of
Broadway. But there are other thou-
sands who cannot do that. For them,
the seashore is Coney isiand, tite moun-
tains. the Paiisades of New Jersey and
the iakes more often than not. the
basin of sotne fountain or maybe just
a iirephtg shower.
* * *
Those thousands, or rather i shouid
say millions, do not iive in sections
of the city where there is some escape
from the effects of the sun. Their
dwellings nre in tite narrow streets
of the tenement districts. Their homes
are airless nnd oftentimes dark. For
them, there Is no escape from the
hent. Mghts. they crowd tite roofs or
the parks. Days, they get along ns
best they can. Often, mothers, to keep
their babes from stifting, toad them
into perambulators and walk with
them untit the enriy morning hours
afford some relief. !t is wearisome,
hut babies must breathe. And after
those ntt night ramtdes. the mothers
do tliclr housework find cook In
kitchens some of which are equipped
witii con) or wood stoves.
Those street showers are beachea
of the tenement youngsters. They
shout hapiiily under the cool spray nnd
carry on much tike we used to do
when we walked out to theold Syca-
more, peetcd our ciothes and enjoyed
ourselves in the yeilow Scioto. The
youngsters of tite sitttns can't go quite
that far. however. But they go as far
as they can, a single garment satisfy-
ing tite conventions. Some, however,
wear bathing suits. Asked a kid why
he did and he reptied. "Because it
makes me feci tike I'm out at Coney."

of his home on Ono Hundred Eighth
street nnd found a bunch of heat-ex-
hausted kids trying to turn on a Hre
hydrant. They weren't strong enough
so Ramon Miliion did it for them. He
cooled off the kids. But he broke the
iaw. While he stiii had the wrench
