NEW HAVEN CLUB INVITATION EVENT
 STARTS TO-DAY

The stand out amateurs of Con- necticut, or at least all of them who can spare the time from busi- ness, will report at the first tee. of the New Haven Country club this morning for the qualifying round of the annual New Haven Invita- ton, always a blue ribbon event in Connecticut golf.
 Bobby Grant. if he decides to play must be installed the favorite. As Charley Clare said of Bob at the recent Brooklawn Invitation. This is Bobby's year all right. don't think anybody can beat him." Clare was right on that occasion, for Grant went on to win. The state amateur, the Brooklawn Invitation and the New England Amateur have all been Grants and besides he qualified for the National Open and led the field in the New Eng land qualifying round for the Ma tional Amateur.
 If Grant does go to New Haven, however, he will face the competi- tion of Charley Clare, Burt Resnik, Dow Ahern. "Pipey" Warner, John Parker Dan England, Vego Larsen and C. c. -"Chick" Elwell, among others Ahern has become a most formidable contender ever since breaking his first round jinx and going to the final of the New Eng land Amateur. Dow's next try after that was the Norwich Invitation. which he won handily. Warner is the North and South Amateur champion, Clare former Connec- ticut title holder, Resnik Norwich Invitation finalist this year and England and Parker members of Yale's intercollegiate championship team.
 Match play starts tomorrow with the finals on Saturday.

OLYMPIC WOMEN l
 BLAME CLIMATE
BY MARY ALICE PARENT United Press Special Correspondent


 Los Angeles, Cal. (UP)-Olym- pic women from far-away climes don't blame the Indians. but the climate for the use of cosmetics.
 They fail to see in the prevalent use of reds, blues and blacks on feminine eomplexions anything reminiscent of the war paint of early tribes.
 "The climate. here makes the use of cosmetics necessary. Heat and dry weather take color from the face and make the skin un- attractive. People need rouge and powder here to make up for the cooler and fine skin texture the cold, moist weather furnishes in other countries"
 That is the opinion of Mrs Theodore Wright Leslie, wife of the official started for the Olym- pic games from New Zealand and chaperone of Thelma Kench, New Zealand's only woman contestant.
 Visitors to the Chapman Park hotel have noticed the complete lack of rouge and powder on most of the foreign girls. Why do Amer ican girls use so much makeup if other girls don't need it to be beautiful, they demand?
 Mrs Leslie's explanation by one of their own number is the an swer to their question.
 Tt wouldn't be long before I'd be using powder myself if l were going to be here any length of time," she said. "Thelma, and feel washed out all the time. To us the weather is almost tropical"
 The New Zealand sprinter uses lemon to soften water for her hands and face but doesn't in- dulge in cosmetics.
 "The weather at home is too cold for that sort of thing. We iind it very warm here"
 American girls are considered good looking by their track and field athletic competitors of other nations.
 French authority is accepted by the rest of the girls.
 American women. as a class. are better looking than French women," said Mile Yvonne Co., dard of Paris. But France has some women more beautiful than Americans"
 However. beauty is of second consideration at the Chapman Park hotel. A beauty shop which sent out 100 passes for free hair waving has had. only a half dozen responses.
