AUTUMN HATS WORN
HIGH ON THE HEAD

You will find that the new au-
tumn hats are not easy to wear and
that the hair must be beautifully
done, as much of the head Is ex-
posed at one side. Tiny tiled brims,
very shallow crowns, the hats worn
high on the head. that is the style
message Of the very best milliners.
And managers and buyers for the
hat departments in the very smart
est Of speciality shops assure us that
these hats will be the thing next
autumn and that real millinery is
back with US again. And that is
something for which the really we'll
dressed woman will be profoundly
grateful.
All too long we have been con-
tent with just covering for our
heads, and the covering was not too
good-looking either. Nor were the
little caps at all healthy for the
scalp, as you have no doubt learned
from your favorite hairdresser.

In the meantime parents are
warned by the physicians to watch
the books their children bring
home to read from the libraries.
They can see that their own shelv-
es are not cluttered with illegible
books. They can make salutary
and effective demands for better
books upon the boards of their
local libraries.
1t is a crime against the prec-
ious sight Of children, says this
bulletin, to urge them on the one
hand, to form an appetite for read
ing and to give them dangerously
illegible books to satisfy that ap-
petite.

Tattered Books Peril
the Sight of Children
Doctors Urge Care in Selection
of Books inNSchool or
Library

st. Paul Sept Hundreds Of
thousands of children will be
thumbing hundreds of thousands
Of books again before the end of
September.
Some Of them will be school
textbooks presumably written in
proper type on proper paper.
A good many others will be old
and dilapidated library books, re-
ference works, story books, travel
books that go along with lessons
and cool days and renewed interest
in the book world in general.
Today's bulletin from the Min
nesota State Medical Association
concerns itself particularly with
the very old and dilapidated books
that will be handed on to the
children to read because some Of
these children will suffer serious
eyestrain and eye damage because
of them.
"Pick up the books on the shelv-
ers of most of the chlidren's librar-
les i'm schools and on the town and
city shelves" these doctors sug-
gest. "At least a half Of them are
so greyed with age that the print
ed letters are blurred and some
times almost indistinguishable. The
pages are creased and the letters
damaged or the printing in gen.
eral is faint with age.
Serious damage ii chiIdren's eyes
can and does result from puring
over these books" says doctors. "It
these books" say these doctors. 1t
should be the business of some
committee on every school and
public library board to censor the
books on the children's shelves
from the point of view Of clear,
easy legibility alone and also the
lighting in the rooms provided for
reading. That most libraries, city
or country, do not have such COM
mittees and are consequently seri-
GUS offenders against the sight of
children is fact that the Society
for the Prevention of Blindness
already acknowledges and is hop
ing to remedy. When a set of
standards for the printing and
paper to be used, particularly in
children's books now being carried
on at Columbia, is completed per-
haps some general movement to
improve conditions will get under

NMA|N MATCH

There won't be much rough
stuff when Jimmy Londos and
Matros Kirilenko get together in
their match which is the top
number Of Promoter Joe Turner'S
all-star card at the Washington
ditorium tomorrow night
Neither Londos nor Kirilenko use
underhand tactics unless the op'
ponent goes in for this style at
the outset.
Londos and Kirilenko wrestle
fairly and cleanly and both have
regulations that are envied by
others of their profession. Local
fans have seen the Little Greek
God" too often and know that
the bronzed grappler plays square
" with his rival.
Throws Sander SZabO
The Greek downed one Of his
strongest adversarieS when he put
away Sander szabo. the Hun
garian wizard, in a stirring match
in Baltimore last night.
Londos is appearing here after
an absence Of nearly four months.
Back in the middle Of August, he
toiled with Rudy Dusek at the
Clark Griffith Stadium before
$4,000 onlookers, the largest crowd
to witness a wrestling match in
this city.
The Russian has tangled with
LondoS once before. the champion
clamping Kirilenko'S shoulders to
the mat in 81 minutes and 81
seconds. Kirilenko hopes to
square accounts tomorrow night.
Rough Match in Sight
Fans who delight in seeing a
rough and tumble contest will
have their innings when Frank
Brunowicz, the Polish terror, and
Rudy Dusek, the Nebraska Wild
cat" go into action in the main
preliminary. This affair should
set the customers wild.
