CAMP LET'S, Nd, Sept. r.
A dozen good backs, any one of
whom would be welcome in any
collegiate grid camp in America,
gives George Washington Uni
versitys coaches one good reason
for optimism. However, there is
a fly in the ointment; the Col
onials must develop a pair of
flankers and a center before any
backfield can operate at full
efficacy.

the IL backfield men this writer
has noted in action.

runner; high knee action: Yale
would give much for him; most

"KNAVE'S GIRL"
WASHINGTON FASHIONS ByWlmd LaViIe

Everybody with the price Of
the fare seems to be going to
Chicago. It's decidedly the
thing to do this summer, no
matter what you're interested
in. for the fair has everything
in the way Of exhibits that you
could possibly imagine, and
many amusements as well.
And If you 60, be sure to see
the very excellent fashion show
that is part Of the amusement
and instruction. It Is cleverly
run, with costumes changed
every two weeks. so they will
be sure to be up to date, and
Chicago stores have the mer-
chandiSe for sale, as well as
some Of the other stores
throughout the country.
Dark Travel Costume
But the purpose Of this arti-
Gle is to discuss your travel
costume for going to Chicago,
not what you'll do when you
get there. You'll need at least
one simple, sensible dark cos
tune, to wear on the way, and
to bear the brunt of your daily
use while you're there. No
matter whether you go on the
train or drive, dark clothes are
best, and the least they are
inclined to get mussed, the
better. There's a new fabric
out that's designed just for
such clothes, and it is excel
lent. It's a wool and silk
crepey mixture, light and cool,
almost sheer, but extremely
practical as we'll as cookbook
ing. 1t is in indistinct stripes,
and it makes both the cos
tunes we've sketched today.
Sheer and Cool
We've sketched a woman'S
dress, and a misses dress, each
with a jacket, both of this new
striped material. The woman'S
dress has a collar of white silk
pique, has long sleeves in the
dress, and short sleeves in the
jacket. The misses dress has
short sleeves in the dress, and
longer sleeves in the jacket, and
it has a bow jabot of white silk
pique. The pointed sleeve are
interesting in this jacket, too.
Both dresses come in lovely
colorS, in the new eel gray, in
brown, navy or currant red.
And these are only two of
several styles. They're priced
$3.50, in all sizes.
For fashion information, or
the name Of the store showing
these suits, write Miss Laville

envelope, or call District $3.50,

Initial HeIplessness Of Human :
Beings q Great Asset

Initial heIpleSSneSS OF human
Beings q Great Asset
AS a tiny tot, every individual
not only is physically helpless
but mentally as well. That is,
although his brain cells are
sufficient in number, the great
majority are not yet function
ing.
Indeed, it may be said that
the human. baby is the most
stupid of all the newborn to be
found in the animal kingdom.
A chick, a cat, a dog, all are
able to take care of themselves
within a short space of time
after they see the light of day:
but the human animal is slow
to develop; so slow that it takes
some IL years to put him on a
par, so to Speak-and compare
lively considered, of course
with animals lower down the
scale.
This initial helplesSness, and
one might indeed designate it as
initial stupidity, constitutes
however, great asset. For it is
during this period of complete
dependence upon those who care
for him, and because of it, that
the child is trained; that is,
started off with concepts of life
that will prove valuable for it's
well.being later on.
In fact, were it not for this
early subservience through ne
cessity, civilization could not
long survive. Parents would be
unable to give their offspring
the benefits Of their own mis-
takes, or to teach them right
living. Schooling would not
exist. Every individual would
start out afresh, as it were,
and the heritage Of the past
would scarcely influence him.
Psychologists find that the
first five years of the life span
are actually more important
than the years that follow.

mond. It was all over. The
declarer held all winning cards.
He lost only one diamond trick
and the two ruffs Of diamonds
made by West, allowing South to
fulfill his contract for game
at hearts.
Suppose that North had de-
cided to shift bis partners A.
Hearts to 5-Diamonds and the
opening lead had been the Q
of clubs. The deciarer still can
go game, by playing as follows:
Dummy wins the trick with his
Ace of clubs. Discard the @ Of
spades from the declaring hand.
You know that diamonds prob
ably are divided 80 between
East and West. Lead two
rounds of winning hearts. Have
dummy trump the third heart
with the 10 of diamonds. Lead
the 3 of diamonds from dummy.
Put up declarer's j. The trick
will go to Vests K. That play
er can win one heart trick, and
he has won a single trump
trick, but neither opponent can
win a third trick. Game is
assured at diamonds, as well as
at hearts, the way the cards lie.

How Could Any Man Love
q Crepe.Hanger?

S'0SS@A
a Crepe changer?
Dear Miss Fairfax
Now that it's all over, know
what the trouble was. It was
giving way to being down
hearted, worrying - having a
good time being miserable.
I inherited this "vice" from
my family. They're all crepe
hangers, who worry over every
thing-losing jobs, health, saw
ings, home, death of relatives.
When my second engage
ment was broken, went to the
mans mother and asked why
her son had got tired of me.
She said: my dear, you were
such a gloomster and crepe
hanger that Nick couldn't face
life with you."
Then I saw it all, when it
was too late. I had fallen into
the family weakness of enjoy
ing our miseries. I realize now,
out I'm aGralo Cnere'S no turo
ther happiness in store for me.
Matte.
The above is the gist of a
correspondents letter, too long
to print in full. But when
Matte writes me she's doubtful
about her future, I'm afraid
she doesn't realize the cause
of her unhappiness, even yet.
And at the risk Of posing as
a Pollyanna-a heroine I've
never had any patience with
I must call to mind certain
glaring truths.
Happiness is a state of mind,
rather than a handout from
the gods. You can make a
business Of being happy and
radiate cheer like an open fire

Secrets Of Health
By DR.. Louis E. Bisch

The parent sees the baby as
an adorable bundle Of lowell
ness, smiling and cooing when
it is pleased, fretting and cry
ing when it is displeased. Sell
dom does a father or mother
realize that during the hours
the infant is awake it Is TAX
ing in impressions from the
outside world, and that these
stimuli are being indelibly
written upon it's plastic mind.
Yet such is the case. In
TACT, it is astonishing how
often memories dating back to
the age of one year can be
reSurrected in the conscious
mind through special testing
methods. 1t is astonishing,
also, how much such impress
SionS, whether they be agree
able, or disagreeable, can model
an entire lifetime.
A baby'S mind should there
fore be respected as much as is
his stomach. No one can tell
what he is thinking, especially
during the months before he is
able to talk. Nor can anyone
guess, except in rough way,
what the infant is feeling. Let
us not forget that a foundation
is being laid during these early
days which is to support the
whole future development struc-
ture.
Using "baby talk" in con-
versing with a child is there
fore bad practice. Frightening
him with bugaboo stories, to
gain his obedience, when he is
four or five years old, is also
pernicious.
Always it should be remem-
bered that everything the child
experiences during the first five
years somehow may have a
most pronounced effect upon
his character.

Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

in winter, If you can only
persuade yourself to forego the
luxury of being wretched. That's
a form of elf-indulgence, like
being sorry for yourself or
blaming your misfortunes on
the other fellow.
And while they're holding
wakes over dead and gone
opportunities, fresh chances
knock at the door, only to
find nobody home.
Evidently Mattie's family be-
long to this class; they enjoy
holding post-mortems over what
has been, and fear-fests over
what might be. And Matte,
absorbing their worries and
miseries, tried to pass them
on to Nick, who would have
no more of them.
Good cheer is to be pursued
at the faintest signs of visi-
bility, just as misery must be
lodged.
But to return to Matte, and
all the other Matties who lose
their lovers and husbands be-
cause they are devotees Of the
misery habit. Why don't they
try to learn the art of good
sportsmanship - taking things
on the chin; squeezing a laugh
out of a situation over which a
"gloomster" would shed a bucket
of tears?
Don't make a bad situation
worse by dwelling on it, and
don't try to hand it on to some
one else.
Matte might try to see her
ex-fiance and tell him that, in
cidentally, she'd turn over a
new leaf.

it had long been upside down for him. To wn to wn

Bidding went: South, 2-Dia-
monds, to force partners re-
sponse; North, 3-Clubs, to show
at least one quick trick and
a biddable suit; South, 3-Hearts;
North, 3-No Trumps, to show
his shortness in both of part
ner's suits; South, 4-heartS, to
indicate that he held a suit OF
more than four cards in the
majors, even if his minor suit
was the longer. Having to
choose between South's two
makes, North decided that the
two were probably of equal
game-going ability, and passed:
AS a matter of fact, game could
be made at either, although
hearts gave less trouble than
diamonds would have.
Not wanting to lead away
from his K of spades, West
made an opening lead of his
@ of clubs, although dummy
had bid that suit.
Dummy's Ace won the open
ing club lead. The declarer
discarded his @ of spades. He
led dummy's 10 Of diamonds for
a finesse. West won with the
K; he led his ] of clubs. The
declarer ruffedss then he led
his Ace and K of heNrts, drop
ping the @ at his right, and

but that did no harm. Two
rounds Of diamonds were led.
West used one of his two good
trumps ruffing another lead Of

The Beauty
Box
By HELEN FOLLETT

A NEW coiffure trick is to
clip little short bang along
either side of the side parting,
have it arranged in flat, small
shell curls.
The smartest coiffures make
the head look small. They hug
tightly to the skull, do not
extend beyond the hair lines at
the back, and reveal the ears.
A mass of curlS or puffs at
the back won't do. There must
be a definite design, ringlets
marching in a row, puffs in
clusters, or ringlets and puffs
grouped. It's all intricate, but
must look simple. Tresses are
supposed to carry a gloss. Wave
lines are wide and fluid.
Squinting isn't always due
to glaring lights or defective
vision; often it is nothing more
than a bad habit. Eye shut
ters partially close, horrid little
creases appear, in course OF
time they develop into crows
feet that are difficult to erase.
Tissues are delicate around the
eyes, crimp easily.
If lines have already formed,
be a wideeyed girl, don't
squint under any circum-
stances; if you do, you'll never
get your lids ironed out. Tap
in a tissue cream every night.
Place the first finger on the
eyeid, close to the nose, sweep
outward over the temples,
come back underneath the eye
to the starting point. After
wards apply pads Of gauze-
heavy ones-that have been
dipped in witch hazel.
When starting on the motor
trip take along a liquid, oily
skin cleanser. Use on the COM
plexion before washing off the
dust Of the road with soap and
water. Don't overlook the need
Of a hand lotion and, if you
are going to do any sight see
ing, you will need a busting
powder for the tired little dogs.
Protect the eyes with yellow
glasses, if you don't, the glare
Of white roads will dig lines be-
tween your eyebrows. And
keep the hair covered when
dust is flying.

Late Fashion
Flashes
By ALICE ALDEN

Maids in uniform means that
we shall all soon be wearing
nice little frocks Of black satin
as the ideal costume for all day
in town. A typical model has a
draped cowl neck, short sleeves
and diamond buttons and belt
buckle.
Always in the picture is the
black frock. A charming frock
Of black crepe has a V-Shaped
border on the bodice, wide
shoulder pieces and a belt Of
sky-blue chiffon with pin tucks.
The plain chiffon forms a yoke
back and front.

Dr.. Bisch' s Daily
Diet Hint

The way to reduce is through
proper dieting and exercise, and
never should thyroid extract or
any drug be taken unless the
same is prescribed by a ply
Sician and his directions are
closely followed. In fact, it is
dangerous to diet unless ones
doctor has been consulted and
he has first made q physical
examination.

Don't" he said mildly, don't
be demoralized by your success.
The cup isn't ours-not yet"
It was. At / o'clock Patricia
and Julian Haverholt tri-
umphed over Mr.. and Mrs.
Granville Simpson, and the
officials computed the total
scores of the tournament eve
ming. The Reuben Blair cup
belonged to Julian Haverholt,
the donors most bitter enemy.
1t was not a popular victory.
These players, for the most
part, were Blair's friends and
supporters. Julian liked that
sort of unpopularity. He quite
outdid himself in boasting.
Patricia could not object.
She could object to nothing
now. Sparkling, laughing, in
toxicated with the heady wine
of success, she stood in the
midst of the milling group,
which had awaited the final
outcome. Defeated players all,
bitter, reSentful, jealous, smil-
ing their sweet, false smiles,
offering their meaningless, in
sincere congratulations. To
the girl everything rang true.
She loved everything tonight,
even the huge, ornate, shining
cup, awaiting her name and
Julian's. A marvellous cup.
She said so often.
Must We leave it?" she de-
manded youthfully, appealing
to them all. Couldn't we have
the names engraved ourselves?"
IT think it will be safe to
leave it," Julian advised her
dryly,> cycling the cup as if he
meant to pawn it, and con-
sidered that the silver would
not bring so much. He picked
1t up. Just then his glance
fell upon the doorway. Imme-
diately his face lit with wicked
Joy. GAS I live and BREATHE"
he announced it gleefully. "here
comes Reuben Blair!"
Winners
There came Blair indeed, a
fat, pompous little man, re-
luctance in his step. Reuben
Blair wore an immaculate, yet
old fashioned dinner jacket with
a wide, black waistcoat. He car
ried a gold-headed cane; in his
pocket was a fat, gold watch
which had been owned by some
Revolutionary Blair and which
this last son of the ancient
Virginia Blairs loved to display.
He belonged to one Of the first
families Of the South, he had
been in the Social Register as
long as there had been a Social
Register. His own Importance
weighed constantly upon his
mind. Since the war, he
thought, the world had gone to
pot. What had society come
to when such upstairs as Julian
Haverholt were allowed to
fraternize with gentlemen?
Stiffly, slowly, he advanced.
Greetings" carolled Haver-
holt. you've managed to miss
an exciting evening, Reuben.
I've just won your cup!"
For proof he waved the
trophy in the air.
$50 I heard" said the other
man, coldly. "Allow me to pre-
sent my congratulations"
"Are they from the hearth"
inquired Haverholt with defi-
mite mockery. He added mu-
singly, "I'm afraid, Reuben,
your congratulations don't come
from the heart"
MY name is Blair, If you
please, Sir!"
The older mans red face
was quite purple. Patricia was
horribly conscious Of a large
and attentive audience, con-
SciouS Of watching eyes and Of
listening ears. She had wanted
to be dignified and gracious
and sweet, to let Reuben Blair
share in her pleasure. After
all, he was the donor of the
cup. He was the grand old
man Of bridge. The grand old
