"I would like to tell you some thing. I couldn't say It to anybody who would laugh at me. But I know you won't. Sometimes I feel as If I wasn't just me, but two quite dif ferent people at tho aumo tlmo, "One wants to grow up to be very beautiful. She wanU to havo lots and lota of men fall In love with her. She wants to do nothing but wear beau tiful dresses and dance and bo ad mired. Tho other one wants only to be very strong and Independent and to do some sort of work to make other people happy and to make the world better. "I wonder which I wll! turn out to be. I'm afraid I won't be cither because I want to be both." ' 'j'- Such conflicts of ambition are frequent. The adult who is hon ored with the child's confidence can perhaps explain that the' two Ideals are not necessarily opposed to each other. It Is possible to achieve both at least partly. 1 . One would not bo satisfied to be Just one or the other and bo orie de velops both as far as one enfi. In every human being thero Is rootn for all sorts of wishes, all sorts of Striv ings and all sorts of achievement. One must wait and Bee and try to mnke the most, of everything. l' Tho introspective child who Is likely to have such thoughts ' is much helped by some such sympa thetic explanation. It helps to pre vent him from wasting his energy In conflicts that have little basis In the actualities of life. It helps him to turn his energy outward Into active living.

It Is one of the fundamental prin ciples of good health that no stren uous exercise should be undertaken while the stomach Is filled with food e.nd yet I have seen golfers time after time, gulp down a hearty luncheon, and then rush out at once to play another round. : If golfers would rest for at least half on hour after luncheon before starting 'out again; much1 br the in testinal disturbances, Indigestion, et cetera, which beset them, would be easily overcome. After' luncheon, you should relax in a comfortable chair, give your selt at least thirty minutes of com plete rest, and you will find that your afternoon round will show marked improvement.

Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) Edvln Wide, the sturdy little Swede who has competed in three past Olympic games, will be among the missing at Los Angeles when the big International spectacle gets underway the last of July. , Wide, who back in 1026 defeated the great Paavo Nurml both at 1500 meters ond two miles, recent ly sat on the sidelines at Stock holm, watching the Olympic try outs. He admitted it was time for him to step out of the picture. Tho little Swede felt qualified from his long experience to add his contribution to the perennial sub ject of ('professionalism." Here's a dlgeBt of his remarks, as reported by Elmer W. Peterson, correspon dent of The Associated Press in that far-nung spot: "When an athlete," Wide said, "does nothing else but train, for weeks and months, he is profession al In spirit if not In name. If an athlete Isn't working for a living. li means -that someone is paying his expenses. He may not receive actual money payment but he Is getting something when he gets a free I chance to spend all his time prac tising. Wide gestured toward the Stock holm stadium field where Swedish athletes were competing. TIME LIMITED "Very few of those boys are uni versity students. The schools in Sweden put comparatively little stress on athletics. Practically all the boys out there are workers. They train only during the eve ning, or In their spare time. That's different from having the oppor tunity to do nothing else except train. "In the United States the schools do much to encourage and foster good athletes. I believe In this. Schools ought to develon eonrt bodies as well as good minds. It has been my Impression that the American student has more time to devote to athletics, with the sld of good coaches, and this Is what helps the United States when It comes to Olympic games." flEFKXns Nt'RMI I Wide shook his head at mention of the dtspute over Nurmla eligi bility, whom he regards the great eat runner in history. "It might be a good Idea." he sug gested, "to eliminate all distinction m"'Ur Professional I m the Olympics. Just let every country send the best men It has in each sport.
