America’s Healthiest Girl Named. The crown of America’s healthiest {xh'l rests lightly on the brow of shy arie Antrim, whose bewilderment at winning the championship was equaled only by her anxiety to escape the flashlights of photegraphers. She fell Just short of being perfect, her score being 99.15. Young Christensen, the new boy health leader, also neared perfect fig. ures with a score of 99. And as a style champion, Olive Van Vuren had no peer. Her ability and | taste made her foremost in the 4H fashion show. Miss Antrim, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Antrim, have six other children, is blue-eyed, bobbed and pretty. But she could not understand Just what had won for her. “I have no special diet,” she said. *“I eat all sorts of things. But I ke vegetables most, and eat meat only occasionally.” Fond of Sports. Bhe likes sports, plays tennis, base ball and croguet, takes some exer- eises, she says, but follows no set rules. She loves her farm and home work, is a sophomore in the King- man High School, and like all other girls she cares for lovely things. The blue of her trim silk dress matched the color of her eyes as she won the crown Jast night. Fred Christensen is a regular American boy. He graduated from the College Springs High School last Spring after an' excellent scholastic record. He won his letter at foot ball, caplained the basket ball team, snd was among the student leaders. He likes the farm, doesn’t crave = college education, but intends to take a short course in agriculture to help him in his work. His skin is tanned and unblemished. Long Rours of farm work and plenty of rest at night keep him in condition. He doesn't bother much about girls, but he does not dislike them. Drinks No Coffee, He Says. Plenty of milk and vegetables, no eoffee, are his rules. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Christensen, say he eats the ordinary farm fare. He is one of two sons. The new style champion, Miss Van Wuren, wore a pretty school dress of blue and of her own design in winning her championship. The con- testants had to make their own dresses, but were permitted to pur- chase the remainder of their en- semble. Not only ability in design and -preparation but taste in choos- ing the accouterments were consid- ered in selecting her as the winner. - JUDGE TO TAKE OATH. John S. Newman Will.

PAROLE PRACTICE HELD HARMFUL BY COURT First Offenders Encouraged Rather Than Deterred, S8ays Judge Peter of Montgomery County. Special Dispatch to The Star. ‘ROCKVILLE, Md., November 30.— That the practice of paroling first offenders, especially the young, tends to encourage rather than deter crime, was declared by Judge Robert B. Peter in the Circuit Court here yes. terday in imposing sentence on Al- bert Martin, colored, of Washington, found guilty of stealing two coats from Leslie Barr, a fellower employe of the Congressional Country Club, and Judge Peter further stated that he need not be expected to extend leniency in such cases excepting when the circumstances are especially ap- pealing. It was suggested that, in view of the fact that it was Martin's first offense and because of his previous good reputation, sentence be sus- pended. . Judge Peter, however, coul® not see his way clear to accept.the sugges- tion, and sentenced the defendant to the House of Correction for one year. A Time-Saver in Greece. From the Open Road. ‘The Corinth Canal was begun by the Roman emperor Nero but proved too great 'a task for those times. It crosses the Isthmus of Corinth, which formerly connected the large penin- sular called the Peloponnesus with the mainland of Greece. It was only 4 miles wide and cut- ting the canal shortened the distance from the Adriatic Sea to Piraeus, ‘the port of Athens, by 202 miles. No won- der the ancients started it. But it was not until 1882 that a French company took hold of it and it was finished in 1893 by the Greeks. It is 26 feet deep, 50 that quite large vessels can use it. \ Areyours eager feet?

[OWANS LEADING LIVE STOCK SHOW Lively Competition Among! Farmers at International Exposition in Chicago. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 30.—Bedecked with ribbons showing supremacy in animal husbandry, farmers of the tra- ditional Tall Corn State, Towa, ex- pected to clinch honors for the largest number of first places at the interna- tional live stock exposition today. Aithough denied blue ribbons in the major grand championship events, the Towans were so far in the lead at the twenty-seventh annual exposition that nothing but a long series of grand slams by their closest competitors— Ohio, Indiana, Tllinois and California— could sweep the all-exposition victory from their grasps. Biggest Plum to California. California, however, was apparently satisfied, having won the biggest plum of the entire show—the grand steer championship. This honor went to| California Stamp, a cross-bred An-| gus-Shorthorn, bred and entered by the University of California. Indiana also had reason to be pleased, one of her sons, Chester B. Troyer of Lafountaine, having been crowned corn king with a near-perfect 10-ear exhibit. Montana had the wheat king, C. Edson £mith of Corvallis. Among the State agricultural col- leges, the Towa State College, at Ames, was far in, front, with those of Kan- sas, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Califor- nia, North Dakota, Illinois and In- diana bringing up the rear. If the exposition were confined to horses it probably would be a run- away race for Ohio and Canada. Don Vegas, entered by G. A. Dix of Dela- | ware, Ohio, won the American-bred Percheron championship. ‘Winning Reserve Champion. The reserve champion in that event | is Hesitation Again, owned by G. S. Sonner, also of Delaware. The junior champion in that class was another Ohio stallion, Sir Laet, entered by W. H. Butler of Columbus. Canada equines scored heavily in the prize awards of the opening day, Monday. The most important events on to- day’s program in the animal husband- ry competition were the Intercollegiate meat-judging contest and John Clay divisional competition for various breeds of live stock. Both are col- legiate contests. Prince Henry de Linge of Belgium and Secretary of Agriculture William Jardine are familiar figures at the exposition. Prince de Ligne will award the King of Belgium's trophy to the prize Belgian stallion tomorrow. Forest Protection Increased. Special Dispatch to The Star.
