Dolls-rag dolls. wax dolls and
CHINA dolls--are emigrating from the
Iairyland of the nursery to the
workday world of the schoolroom.
These little people of the counter
pane have become most important
objects of practical training of little
girls in the problems Of life, from
caring for their own little brothers
and sisters when mother is busy to
administering families Of their own
in later life.
This work was described by Miss
Agnes Hanna, director of the social
service division of the Children 5
Bureau, at the annual maternity and
infancy conference which ended here
Thursday with representatives pres
ent from 40 States. Schoolgirls in
the seventh to ninth grades in many
cities, Miss Hanna said, are being
given instruction in the care of
babies as a part of their regular
school work. In most cases dolls
are used for models.

REFUSES TO CURTAlL
U. S. FILMS IN GERMANY

Government Against More Drastic
Restrictions in Importation-54
Per Cent Shown Are American.
By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, January 15.-The German
government has refused to sanction
more drastic restrictions against the
importation of American films, despite
numerous petitions from producing
and distributing companies having no
agreement with United States
concerns.
The ministry of commerce has an
nounced that this year, as last, one
American film may be shown in
Germany for every one produced at
home. In effect, however, the con-
tinuance of the old regulations will
mean that as in 1926. about 54 per
cent of the films shown in Germany
may be American, and only 81 per
cent German, the remainder coming
from other countries. One reason for
the preponderence of American films
is that producing companies with
American connections make a con.
siderable number of pictures which
are never intended for public showing
They are filmed merely to comply
with the law and enable the com
panies to import American films.

PARIS, January 15.-The tradi
tional farm servant market" held at
st. Etienne and other agricultural
centers shows the drift to the city.
Few servant girls attended the mar
kets" this year end. Their dream
eyes may not be lifted SO high as the
moves, but they long for comfort and
company.
The men, also. are at a premium.
Each year farm labor becomes a
greater problem. The wage scale for
the coming year is from 5000 to 5000
francs, about the average for clerks
In small stores. The farm hand is
lodged and fed. his clothes cost him
little and he has other advantages,
but Paris is Paris.
Farm owners and servants from
many miles around gather at these
reunions each year and bargain with
each other for the year to come.
This gives the servants greater in
dependence and both Of them wider
choice.

|TUNNEY BACK in
TRAINING CAMP
READY FOR GO

TUNNEY CAMP, LAKE VILLA,
Ills, Sept. Ia P9-Gene Tunney was
back at his training camp tonight,
after three day vacation with friends
in Lake Forest, 80 miles away. To-
morrow the heavyweight champion
will box in the first of three final
workouts which Gene believes will
round him into perfect trim for the
title bout with Jack Dempsey at Sol
diers field, September %.
Refreshed and relaxed by the rest,
Tunney returned to the Cedar Crest
Country club late this afternoon. The
champion grabbed book as soon as
he had changed clothes and wandered
out on the lawn to read until dinner
His pal and tutor, Eddie Eagan, an
oxford scholar settled down beside him
and life in the training camp again
was normal.
Tunney is satisfied with his condi-
ton at the present time and believes
he could enter the ring tomorrow, close
to his best fighting weight. In fact,
Gene did most of the heavy training
work at Speculator, N. Y, in five
months of leisurely boxing. Return
ing to the camp today, Gene reiterated
that he was ready and had little
more training to do before entering
the ring for his first title defense.
Tunney's weight is about 1870 pounds.
During the three days at Lake Forest,
Gene shadow boxed bit and took
walks to keep his poundage down.
Billy Gibson, manager of the title
holder, announced today that he had
asked the Illinois boxing commission
to set an early date for a conference
between representatives of Tunney and
Dempsey to talk over the rules that
will govern the contest. Gibson also
is interested in the choice of a referee,
and is desirous that the commission
rule that all bandages must be applied
to the fighters hands after they have
entered the ring
The session tomorrow consisting OF
six rounds of boxing and rounds at the
light and heavy bags, will be open to
the public. Gene plans to work again
either Friday and Saturday or Friday
and Sunday before returning to Lake
Forest to rest until leaving for the
arena on the night of the fight. The
camp here probably will be broken
Monday.

COCHET BEATEN
BY HENNESSEY
IN HARD MATCH

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept IA ZAP
John Hennessey of indianapolis
rose to the heights of tennis greatness
today in achieving sensational vic
tory over Henri Cochet, France, ir
the third round Of the national turf
court championship. He won on sheer
grit and staying power in furious
five-set match, GA, 6-4 4-6, 3-6, 6-1.
To everyone but Hennessey the de-
feat of the doughty little Frenchman
seemed impossible before the match
but the slender youth knew it could
be done. To him the fact that Cochet
eliminated Tilden in the fourth round
of last years tournament, won the
English championship after beating
Tilden again and downed Johnston in
the Davis cup matches last week, was
ancient history and of no account to-
day.
While Cochet lacked in accuracy at
the start, HenneSSey was angling sharp
drives across the court for place.
fnent, taking the net at every chance
and hitting every shot with all the
power of his slight frame. When
Cochet rallied to win two sets and
even the count, the match seemed his,
for Cochet is known internationally
for his ability to win long matches
from behind. 1t was not to be, how
ever. Sweeping the first four games
with his whirlwind net attack and
cross-court driving HenneSSey carried
the fight to the Frenchman and broke
through his service for the final game.
AS a result of the upset, Hennessey
and not Cochet will meet Francis T.
Hunter in the quarter finals. Hunter
today entered the bracket in easy
fashion by downing Jean WasSer, Bel
gian champion, 7-5, 6-3, 6-3.
Tilden, however, will clash again
with member of the French Davis
cup team. The lanky Philadelphian,
victorious today over Elmer Griffin, of
New ork, 4-6, 6-1, 11-9, 60, will take
on Jean Borotra.
The bounding basque" like Tilden,
had hard fight for. the bracket, but
finally won at 2-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, 6-3,
over Jerry Long, ex-Columbia uni
versity star.
Little Bill'' Johnston, improving
steadily with practice, forehanded his
way to a Ga, Ga, GA victory over
Jack Wright, ranking Canadian player.
The California veterans quarter final
opponent will be either Jacques Brug-
non of France or Arnold Jones of
Providence, r. /. The two were tied
at two sets each when darkness halt
ed play. Brugnon won the first and
fourth at CT, 6-1, and Jones the Sec
ond third GA, 6-3.
Rene LaCoste, the French defending
titleholder, scored his third straight
victory of the tournaments by beating
Takeichi Harada, Japanese who is
ranked third in the United States, 6-3,
