N o Longer Considered Sissy’ Dish, Grill Manager Reveals ; Baseball Players Now Going for Shrimp|
~ Salad in Big Way; Most Patrons . ' Call for Plain Dishes.
BY HELEN LINDSAY
A salad no longer is a “sissy” dish.
Men, who used to eat T-bone steaks and. French fried potatoes, Waive become victims of the salad bowl lure, and order one daily as their
midday meal.
Baseball Players, in particular, have taken to shrimp salads like In fact, Marr Hoffman, manager of the Claypool Sandwich Grill, wonders if shrimp salad is included on players’

People .are becoming wiser about what they. eat, he believes. They are ordering now the simple and plain foods. “There was a day when hotels prepared elaborate menus, with fancy foods drenched in highly seaBut people no longer will accept them; they dodge the many-coursed dinner for a simple meal, and they know whether it is ‘prepared well or not.” Mr. Hoffman has watched loca! and out-of-town celebrities order with increasing interest the last two years. And by the foods they order, he knows them. If Indiana voters elect Raymond G: Springer as Governor, the meals in the Governor's Mansion will be light, with plenty of fruit, cereals and salads. “That's what he orders when he

Townsend Takes Steaks
Lieut. Gav. Clifford M. Townsend, Mr. Springer’s Democratic opponent for tke governorship, is a / heavy cater. He likes steaks, and gnany cf his meals are centered ut a giachealihy portion of well-done roast ee
Judge Dewey Meyers, municipal court judge, is another man who clings to heavy foods. Judge Walter Treanor, according to Miss Evelyn Smith, another Claypool waitress, likes pie.
“Especially the juicy, fruit pies,” she explained. “And you should see how he enjoys a good-sized piece of gooseberry pie.”

ord in minor leagues for hitting home runs, also holds the record for being one of the heartiest eaters, according to Miss Smith. Pleas Greenlee, defeated candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, hasn't been upset by failure to get the nomination, if you can judge by his appetite. He
still enjoys steak sandwiches, and
according to Mr. Hoffman, can eat one anytime—breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Mrs. Scholl Likes Coffee
Mrs, Emery Scholl, Democratic State Central committee’ vice chairman, likes all foods. When her political duties bring her to state headquarters from her .- home in Connersville, she orders anything that the menu offers—but “all you have to do to make her particularly happy is to bring her plenty of coffee,” Miss Hurst said. Sam Freeman, advertising manager for L. Strauss and Co. finds particular epicurean delight in the fruit plate. Charles Mayer, Indian--apolis merchant, is an enthusiast for shrimp salad and tea. : Ken Collins, Apollo theater manager, is another steak sandwich eater. Former Gov. Harry Leslié is a lover of simple food. His latest delight for lunch is a bowl of cold cooked rice, with fresh fruit, cream and sugar. When Mrs. Virginia Jenckes, Indiana congresswoman, visited here, she ordered meals which included plenty of fresh fruit, melon and French toast.
Customer Sets Clocks
Omar Jackson, state Democratic chairman, often eats breakfast in His standing order is orange juice, oatmeal, four-minute eggs, and coffee without caffeine. Bowman Elder, Democratic Central Committee treasurer, limits his breakfast to honeydew melon -and eggs Grill employes set their walls by the breakfast time of Ewing Sinclair, Kingan and Co. superin_tendent, & daily visitor. His stan"dard - breakfast; which is always
eaten between 6 and 6:15 a. m,, is;
orange juice, cereal, melba toast and coffee. Mr. and Mrs. John R McNutt, Gov. McNutt's parents, order simple meals. Mr. McNutt always orders apple sauce, buttered toast, ice cream and black coffee. Mrs. Mc«Nutt likes a fruit plate. When Silver Dollar Brady, who is in Indianapolis promoting attendance at the Texas Centennial, eats, he proves that he is a real “he-man.” ""His breakfast consists of orange “Juice,. bacon and eggs, toast and

Both young women are inclined toward dramatics. Miss Young leans toward radio work, and Miss Robinson looks with hazy eyes at the legitimate stage. Both are agreed on two points— that it was great fun to make the picture, and that if (not when) they ever. do any professional movie work they wiil live normal lives. They believe it can be done, despite general opinion that actresses live in glass houses and their lives: belong to the public. “It all depends upon the individual,” were the words of both. There's a lot in knowing how to relax. Mary Paxton admitted today as she sat sewing under a shade tree in the back yard at 3454 Guilford-av, where she lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Young. “If a person feels like sitting on the flcor or lying on the grass under a tree, he should do: just that,” she said. She does her “relaxing” on Sunday nights when a group of musically inclined young people usually drops in for an informal get-to-gether. “No entertainment,” she said, “they entertain themselves.” Miss Young, who acted in dramatic organizations at Tudor Hall and Butler University, has participated in several radio plays, had small parts in several Civic The-

Her main interest today is radio work—her ambition for the future, musical plays in which she could sing and act. Speed with which the movie was “shot” amazed Miss Young. “It took only three days—we : set: 8 record,” she said. She found movies greatly different from the stage. “You had to stay right by the. microphone,” she said “and not ‘move around. While in a play, if a certain word motiyated you, you moved.” 5 “If the picture is good, it will be a miracle,” she admitted with a | smile. “My family? Oh, they think it’s wonderful.
