The practical side of birling is foreign to younger rollers but they know the rules of the game which is all that concerns the judges. The Battle Begins. And modern birling does have definite rules. A round, smooth and perfectly turned white pine log, 13 feet long, and measuring all the way from 16 to 18 inches in diameter, is put in the water. Two men wearing light calked shoes mount the log, one, at each end. Then comes the battle, a tempestuous warfare of churning pine in which each man, by spinning and snubbing the tricky log, tries to throw the other into the water. With bewildering speed the timber whirls and stops, then starts the other way. From the river bank spectators see an exhibition of perfect balance, timing and muscular But eventually one man topples and splashes into the creek. As in wrestling, two falls out of three constitute a match. Birling has flourished since the nineties without the aid of a promoter. But it was not until the lumbermen's exposition at Omaha in 1898 that it became organized as an annual national event. That was the year Tom Fleming defeated Al Hubbard in the final match. In 1900, 1901 and 1902 the tourney was held at Ashland, Wis., after which it was abandoned. In 1914 William P. Hart, Wisconsin sportsman, revived it at Eau Claire. Birling's Child Prodigy. Big Joe Madwayosh won his first crown in 1924 and on the sidelines Wilthat year was thirteen-year-ol- d bur Marx who decided birling looked easy. He came back the next year to provide the tournament sensation by almost defeating "Big Joe," racing him off the log after 21 minutes of breathless birling in the second round. When the next year's tournament opened Marx was again present, merely fifteen years old, but now a seasoned athlete instead of an awkward boy. Losing a third round elimination match in the northwest titular tourney steadied him and he won the Wisconsin state title without difficulty. Twenty-si- x of the most accomplished log cuffers in the game were entered for the world's title and young Marx defeated four of them in swift succession, winning his way through the first, second and third rounds of elimination and the Then he faced little Billy Girard of Gladstone, Mich., in the final match. Too eager, too confident, he made the mistake of thinking himself speedier than Girard and "Little Billy" raced him off the log for straight falls in the fastest match that has ever been rolled. Feet trod so fast they could hardly be seen; spiked shoes chewed the logs to slivers; "white water" splashed the contestants' legs and both birlers were almost continually on the verge of a wetting. On to Victory. But Marx was a steadier birler the next year and he could not be stopped. At sixteen he won the world's championship against a score of veteran log rollers. He held it 10 years. But last year the college boy from Minnesota came along and Marx, whom the old time lumberjacks had at last taken to their hearts, lost his title. To what depths has this sport fallen! This year Marx says he'll regain the championship and the bearded birlers from the northwoods are wishing a real logger would appear to teach all these young upstarts a lesson. But Joe Connor, the college boy, has been spending the summer at a CCC camp making his legs tough and preparing to take on all comers. Maybe Joe Connor will be defeated, but even then the lumberjacks won't be completely happy. At last year's Escanaba tournament they rubbed their eyes with amazement and chagrin to see four girl birlers engage in a contest of their own. A few old timers admitted the women showed a speed and style that equalled or surpassed the skill shown by a lot in the men's of the tourney. Their only consolation, it appeared, was in the memory of Paul Bunyan, patron saint of all log rollers. Paul's wife, the story goes, was the only one able to wet him in a birling match! well-muscle- d, J - if , i ce j EIGHT: East 38th Street, New York City d to of their AMERICANS spend from to meat.

There are the same good reasons for using meat in the diet of the child as in the diet of the grown-up- . Moreover, the child's protein requirement is greater than that of the adult, in proportion to his body weight. At the beginning of the second year, many authorities advise that small servings of tender and finely minced beef, chicken, lamb or liver may be given about three times a week. As the child becomes older, he may have meat more often and as his ability to chew increases, he may be given larger pieces. -- Some Fallacies Regarding Meat Many people believe that veal is less completely digested than other meats. But it has been demonstrated that even very young veal digests as rapidly and as completely as beef. It has also that red meats are less digestible and, therefore, less desirable than white meats. There is no evidence to support this point of view. Someone with a gift for concise expression once remarked: "No meat no man!" His point was well taken. For considering its delicious flavor, essential food values, and ease of preparation, it is easy to agree that THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT. been-Jiel- WNU C. Houston Goudiss - 22 and comfort.
