SARAH PALFRY IS NEW TENNIS STAR
Seventeen Year Old Girl Reaches
 Third Round Of Tourney

Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug. 21 LPI-
 A new mighty atom" not yet F
 years of age and weighing only 115
 pounds has flashed into fame on the
 tennis courts of the West Side sta dium.
 Perhaps the smallest player ever to get so far in a national cham , plonship, dainty little Sarah Palfrey of Brooklinc, Mass, stood today in the third round of the women's title tournament surrounded by more ex-
 perienced players, some of whom i are more than twice her size. But this clever protege of Mrs Hazel HotchkiSs Wightman is not dismayed. Although she believes she never will be as big as Helen i Wills and Betty Nuthall she finds some solace in the fact that since last year she has gained "a whole ten pounds
 Like Little Bill" Johnston of Davis Cup renown. Miss Palfrey hits a tennis ball with power all out of proportion to her pounds. It was speed as well as guile and court craft that carried her to victory yeS- terday over Mrs. Dorothy Shepheri Barron, sturdy veteran of England's Wightman Cup team, after nervous ness had deprived her of a chance to win the opening set.
 Yet Miss Palfrey probably never can hope to wallop a ball as hard as Miss Wills and accordingly her game is built upon sharp-shooting and court-coVering ability rather than on sheer power of stroke. De spite her lack of stature. Miss Pal frey demonstrated yesterday that she can play the net far better than some of the leading woman players of the world, Her speed of foot and mastery of court strategy aS tonlshed the gallery as well as her opponent and reflected credit to tha teachings of Mrs. Wightman, the eX-champion, who had an important part in the development of Helen Wills.
 Miss Palfrey is one of four play CTS still surviving who were not seeded in the draw. Mrs. Shepher- Barron was one of the seeded num- Der and so is Mary Greef of Kansas City whom Sarah was to meet in third round play this afternoon. If successful the Brookline miss was to try conclusions Thursday with Helen Jacobs providing the stocky young star from Berkeley came through according to schedule against Mrs B. c. Covell Of the English contin- gent team.
 The other leading entrants like wise were expected to traverse the third round successfully. Miss Wills who has lost only one game in two matches. met Alice Francis Of Orange, N J., while Betty NuthaN. the principal English threat. was to meet Mrs May Bundy. the santa Monica, Calf, veteran.

In 40 cases of ringWorm of the feet, the organism was recovered from the toe nails in every in- stance. and in many cases the ab- normality of the toe nails was so light that the patients disreGarded it and did not even ask the exam- ming physician about it. Further- more, it was found that the infec- tion around the toe nails persisted long after the skin disturbance had disappeared.
 Hence, it is quite likely that this infection was responsible for re- l injecting the skin of the patient and injecting the feet of other peo- pie as well.
 In order to overcome this condi- | ton, physicians have recommended | the wearing of paper slippers that | can be discarded, particularly around gymnasiums and public pools Various antiseptic powders are used to Sterilize the shoes and | the floor.
 In the treatment of the condition, lotions and ointments are used which are so caustic that the pa tient should not attempt to treat the condition himself. Once the condition is cured, it is extremely important 10 be sure that the pa tient is not reinfected. Stockings and underwear must be boiled to kill the organism.

 The present day vogue for patch work is due primarily to decp- seated interest in all things his torically expressive of our national background and growth" Mrs. Fin ley pointed out. "The older Quilt patterns are much more at home among the straight lines and futur- istic furnishings of today than when surrounded with the graceful curves of the Queen Anne period or the elaborate carvings of the Victorian age.
 "The patchwork quilt has staged a comeback, not only as a counter | pane, but as a decoration and q wal 1 hanging. We have at last caught uI with our patching grand mothers.'

 Striped Chipmunk was gone for some time. When at last he did re- turn Flip saw just what he had seen in the first placa-a head all out of shape and twice as big as it ought to be. It looked as if Striped Chip munk must have a toothache or the humps on both sides at once. Ger tainly. his head Sas all swelled out. AS before, Striped Chibmunk turned his head sideways and disappeared In that hole.
 Flip was terribly impatient for Striped Chipmunk to reappear. II seemed as if he were gone & long time, though really it was only d few moments. When at last Striped Chipmuni's head did pop out of that hole Flip just couldn't help giving little yolp Of excitement, at which Striped Chipmunk promptly disap- pearcd.

HIS BROTHERS FOOTSTEPS
By Alice Jrdson Peale

Harry certainly Is lucky. Think of his going away to the same school in which has brother already has spent @ year and done so well by the family name. Larry will be popular without half trying. He'll be invited to join everything, and everybody will be expecting the best of him. It's fine to have a reputa- tion to live up to. All he has to do is to follow in his brothers foot steps"
 Thus spoke family friend over the tea cups. But Larry's mother, with some of that intuition so gen. erously attributed to all mothers, was not so sure that Larry was lucky.
 She knew that her younger boy was quite different from his broth CT. If, indeed. he should find him self popular, it would be for reasons wholly different from those which had won the elder boy his leader ship.
 
 that, although there was a very real affection between the boys, there was also a current of antagonism which, If Larry proved unhappy in the school situation, might readily produce whole crop of quarrels and hard feelings,
 Brothers are born rivals, and it is tempting providence to throw them into situations which empha- size the personal equation. It is not wise to send away to school togeth- CT brothers so nearly the same age that comparisons are inevitable. Personal tension is likely to de- velop, and the powers of one or the other are bound to be handicapped in their expression. No boy should feel that he is expected to follow ir 1 his brothers footsteps He should feel free to choose his own direction
