HOUSEWORK IS AS GOOD AS GOLF New York. — (U.R) —A scientist here announces to a waiting world that the best of all exercises for a j woman who wants to keep fit, or reduce, or just have a good time, is—housework! Housework, he asserts, is just as good as golf, or tennis, or swimming. Sweeping is a swell way to accomplish that difficult thing known to the trade as “slenderizing.” Dishwashing and bedmaking are almost as good. The authorities ou the subject say that women ought to go after their housework in exactly the same way they go after their sports. Nothing like housecleaning to improve your figure. And you can make conditioning exercises out of the weekly wash, or the family mending. Collier's Weekly goes into the whole matter in great detail in its forthcoming issue. The main thing j to be considered, it develops, is! that you must tackle housework | with the same emphasis on form j and stroke that you would give your golf game. Your posture must be correct. It is the way you do it that counts. "“Running up and down stairs can melt your hips and take off all your surplus poundage—or it can make you old before your time —depending on the way you run. Sweeping, by the way, is recommended as fine practice for your golf stroke, it's ail very confusing, as these great new discoveries j sometimes are.

SYNOPSIS Born of humble parents. Mom and Pop, in a tiny Middle West factory town. Tommy Randolph, “always different from other children”, becomes a high school football sensation both to the delight and disdain of his hard-working family. Big universities are bidding for him with the chances favoring I Thorndyke, > "millionaires college in the East. Mom manages it so that she and Pop make a splendid showing at Tommy's graduation which proved to be a public demonstration in their boy's honor ns tears welled in Mom's eyes and Pop, thrilled, temporarily forgot his shop-sore feet in new store shoes.... , CHAPTER TEN Nobody who had ever graduated in Athens got near as many shirts and sox and ties as Tommy Randolph did. It seemed that everybody just wanted to show they were behind him and backing him to put the old town on the map when he got to snooty Thorndyke. The fact was hardly anybody in Athens really knew much about Thorndyke except it was snooty and the place to go, some place better than State or the colleges the boys around town liked to go to — those who went at all. Mom didn’t know any better than anybody else but of course she could*’t let them know that. The funny part was that Charlie Whitney, the one Mom thought did know all about places like Thorndyke, was still kind of holding back. Pop came home from the factory one night all wrought up; Mom knew it as soon as she caught sight of him coming down the street—that eye was squinted and be was acting real important, as if he were thinking, and not seeing people. He didn't say anything until they had all sat down to supper. Then Pop started: “Tom, I don’t know whether I’ll let you go tc that Thorndyke or not.” Tommy kept cutting his steak and said, carelessly: "Why not. Pop?” Pop squinted his eye and looked wise; he was speaking like a father to a son, all right. “Well, they ain’t your kind.” “I won’t hold that against them, Pop. More potatoes, Mom.” Pop didn’t know what to think j about that. He couldn’t go back of what Tommy said unless he admitted that the rich man’s sons were better than his son. Then he said something different; and when he had said it Mom knew Charlie Whitney had been talking to him. “What kind of a course you going to take?” Tommy looked up as if he hadn’t expected this kind of a question. “The regular one there —A B.” Pop shook his head. “A B, huh—that’s right—A Bum.” Tommy laughed. “Pass the bread, Pop.” “If you’re going to waste four | yea r s in college why don’t you I learn something?” Pop argued, and Mom felt there was sense to what he said, even though she had con- ! fidencc in Tommy. “Why don’t yotf take law or something and then j you could run for office?” Tommy made a face. “This town’s full of bum lawyers now—and bum politicians, too. Every farmer in the county who goes to law school comes here and hangs up his shingle.” Mom knew that was true; still, she got a thrill out of thinking of her own son as a lawyer and may-

I S hips of hard bitten farmers, It ! lias proved an economic blessing. "Give me a short crop and a dej mend and you can have the bump-,-r crop every time," declared Sam Kennedy, Jr., operator of one of I the largest farms In the area. Reason tor his declaration was explained by a Hit!* simple aritltmotlc. The crop from Ills 170 acres of potatoes this year will return four times It* selling price last year. The dry spell ha* cut his production only by Halt. • last year I sold my Urst freight carload of cabbages at $5 a ton,” Kennedy continued. "This year i my first carload sold at $55 a ton • Is there any wonder we're feeling'

be mayor; maybe governor—there didn’t seem to be anything Tommy couldn’t do if he set his mi-d to it; the only thing he had really ever set hia mind to was football hut Tommy was real smart—then Pop took the words right out of ; her mouth. “Well, what I want to know,” Pop said, “is what you’re figuring on doing when this football is over?” “Plenty," Torn said airily, “but it won’t be back in this burg.” Pop bristled. “So you’re too good | for the town, huh?" Mom broke in: “He don’t mean that. Pop—he means that seme of them rich men will give him a chance to make big money — and you can’t make big money back here—you know that.” Pop turned to her. “I suppose I never made big enough money for you, huh? I suppose you’d rather you married big money? I suppose a workingman like me or Pete ain't good enough for you or this dude son of yours?” “Now you know I don’t mean that,” Mom said. “But if Tommy gets a chance to better himself he’s entitled to take it—you know that.” “Sure, Pop — cut the comedy,” Tommy advised. “What've we got for dessert, Mom?” “Apple dumplm’,” Mom said and went to the stove oven where she kept it warm. They ate in the kitchen except for big times. “Hot xiggity!” Tommy said, i “Apple dumpling! Lots of milk on I it, too, Mom.” “You could come back and do some white-collar job at the sac- : tory if you took a business course,” Pop said. Tommy thought this funny. ! “Swell chance!” “Yoa might even be manager some day," Pop said. Mom looked at him and wondered if Charlie Whitney had told Pop that. “That dump needs a manager all right—but it won’t be me,” Tommy I said quickly. Pop got up and left ■ the table. Mom rffshed over to him. “Now Jim,” she said, “Tommy : didn’t mean anything. Sit down and , eat your supper before it gets cold.” But Pop stood and said: “You 1 young swellhead—maybe some day - you might be glad to come back t to that factory.” “Quit the kiddin’, Pop!” , Pop walked away—and when he didn’t talk Mom knew he was real ; mad underneath; and she didn’t ! like to see him that way because - Pop had a bad temper if he really i got started — when them talkative > ones began to get quiet it waa time l to look out. s “Tommy didn't mean anything,” . Mom said soothingly. Pop went out - and didn’t come back for a long time. Mom knew how he felt. That - factory was the big thing in his . life; and Charlie Whitney was the one rich man Pop had much use -for. Nobody could ever say anything about Charlie Whitney to Pop , in that town; and the funny part was that nobody ever talked about r Charlie except some drunk that got l fired, or some lazy good-for-noth--1 ing strump that didn’t tend to his t job. The fact was, Charlie Whitney i was too good to his men and the i best of them, like Pop, knew it; the trouble was, some took advantage i of it. Some said Charlie wasn’t a i real good manager, that he wasn’t i cut out for such a job but had to l do it because he just fell into it. i Mom didn’t know anything about that; the factory always worked , good in good times and Charlie ' Whitney was a fine man—had always been a fine boy, too, and re-
