Shopping Rules
Three Suggestions

1nree OuSSeSClOHS
Now comes the time of frayed
Christmas shopping goes into its last few hectic days. the
shoppers saespeop anishes and is to be
followed by impotence and dissatisfaction.
In order avoid this condition far possible the Mer
chants and Manufacturers Association has prepared three
simple rules which the lastminute shopper will do we'll
follow.
The Association suggests:
That you read your newspaper before starting
your shopping expedition and prepare a list of articles
desired.
That you get Downtown early in the day.
That you carry home at least your small bundles
Compliance with these suggestions will do much tighten
your burden and will also give you chance to display
little Christmas spirit toward the hundreds of clerks in the
who by Saturday. will be the point of exhaustion
It is too late to talk about shopping early unless you
have already done it.
The idea to keep in mind to shop wisely and with
understanding and consideration only your prob
lens but likewise Of the problems of other shoppers and of the
merchant.

Battling Nervousness


The nervous person becomes
still more nervous in the pres
ence of those who frequently
allude to the subject.
1t is unkind to tell anyone
that he would get along better
if he would control his nervous
ness.
It is not the right system to
employ with a nervous person.
Do not give a hint that you
think they are nervous.
If anything, express conf
dence that they have the abil.
ity to carry on successfully.
Try to minimize obstacles.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1933-12-19
ONCE OVERS

Don't enlarge on serious con.
sequences of certain procedures.
Be explicit in your directions
or instructions but calm in
your suggestions when it comes
time for immediate action.
Ground is always lost when a
nervous person IS censured for
something which was poorly
done due to a nervous tension.
The instructor and adviser of
a nervous person must be pa
tient and not show irritation.
The one whose nerves are on
edge is anxious to do things
right.

Perhaps it is thanks to the

that all Reform is taken for

OPEN PLAY TO
FEATURE This
GRID SEASON
Will Be Spectacular Bid
For Glory And For Gate
Receipts

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. (UP)
Spectacular open play is ex-
pected to feature the dawning
football season in which some of
the nations rugged young giants
will have the dual roles of war
riors battling for Alma Matters
glory and showmen striving for
big gates to keep old Alma out
of the red.
Reports to the United Press
from he collegiate training
fields show that many coaches
are trying to develop not only
winning teams but colOrful,
crowd-plcasing combinations that
will thrill the fans and win big
black headline with sparkling,
open-field performances.
The "open channel rather
than the battering, downfield
march will feature this seasons
offensive. A greater proportion
Of sweeping end plays, emery
ing from back-of-thc-line hocus-
pocuS will be seen, as well as
attacks studded with forward
passes.
Scouts report that the trend
toward more open play is true in
all sections and regardless of the
Fundamental coaching sys m
used, be it the old Michigan kick
formation, the Rockne balanced
line or the Warner unbalanced
line.
Every year there are develop
ment sand innovations in these
three systems, and this season
most of the new plays are being
designed to launch player into
the open, rather than to smash
back the opposing line merely
for yardage.
An important aim of these
plays is to get an end down the
field to take out some of the
opposition in the far channel
ahead of the runner. Because
this end, or possibly other men
on the line, is concentrating on
moving down the field, the pos
sibilitv of an opposing linesmen
breaking through and smothering
the play behind the line is great
er. Consequently, the coaches
refer to them as gambling"
plays and they expect the throws
for losses to be greatly increas-
ed.
Showmanship will be at a pre-
mum. Chick Meehan of Man
