Toys and playthings in recent years have become
more and more useful.
The child is not SO much amused and entertain
ed nowadays by things that sparkle and things that
go. as II is enlightened and entertained by the op-
portunity to make for itself various useful objects but
Of materials ready for assembling.
Many q child Is attracted by movement and many
select mechanical toys. II permitted to make their
own selections. Many mechanical toys have a use
ful purpose, but in some cases they are poorly made
and may actually be hazardous TO the child's health
and safety.
Poorly constructed tin toys with sharp edges and
cheap paints do not endure much over the holiday
week, and may cut the fingers or break UP. with
damage to the eyes. almost before the child has had
an opportunity to use them.
Toys may. OF course. be highly educational. Con-
~struction toys have this capacity.
The child who becomes interested in developing a
railroad system with electrical trains. signal sta
tons. and similar accessories. may begin a piece OF
work that will lead him into a useful occupation.
Moreover, the use Of such toys offers opportunity for
gradual development as the child grows older.
Much Of the radio material Of today tends to
make the child interested In pop-guns, pistols, and
similar devices. There is no reason why the child
should not play policeman, but dangerous weapons
such as air rifles or bows and arrows should be
given only to children who are old enough to handle
them carefully.
A young child with an air rifle or a strong bow
and arrow can do a lot Of damage. not only to the
home in which he lives but to the safety Of those
who live with them.
Particularly useful and helpful to the average
child is a tool kit or q bench where he can do wood
work. There are also available small sets OF chem
ical supplies and even small microscopes With slides
and other materials necessary for this kind Of study.
Frequently an educational toy Of this type helps a
child in selecting It's future career.
A child that has been properly educated will appre-
ciate gifts such as clothing. sweaters. mittens. heavy
walking shoes, or a muffler. Since the holiday sea-
son is the period OF cold, such gifts have a special
value from the health point OF view.
Fortunately, the fad which caused mothers 10 send
children out into the cold with bare knees, under
the mistaken notion that this would harden them
against catching cold, is gradually disappearing.
The biggest season for the common cold is Just
after Christmas and extends well into February.
Suitable protection against exposure Is healthful.

DR.. FOX GIVES
SUGGESTION TO
THE PRESIDENT

DR.. Warren F. Fox, county health

dent Roosevelt, acknowledgement of
a letter sent by DR.. Fox to the Pre-
sident, urging tnat steps be taken
for health campaign among men

camps, and state labor camps.
Col. Howe informed Dr. Fox that
the latter'S letter had been received
by the President and was referred
by him to the executives having
charge of the CCC camps and the
PWA, with the suggestion that they
give it proper attention. Thanks Of
the President were expressed by his
secretary.
In writing the President, DR.. Fox
reminded him of the efficient
Keeping Fit campaign conducted
by the government among its arm
ed forces during the World war for
the prevention of disease, and of the
excellent results it obtained. He sug-
geSted that similar campaign be
carried on in the CCC, labor and
transient camps.
The wartime campaign placed
particular stress on venereal dis
eases, and in addition to this DR..
Fox urged emphasis on prevention
of typhoid fever, smallpox and diph-
liberia.

MORO WINS MAIN EVENT BY
KAYOING THOMAS IN FOURTH

On the receiving end of a light
ming fast and jolting right upper
cut which caught him flush on
the jaw Ritchie Thomas woke up
some 20 seconds later TO find the
show all over and the fans filing
out of the arena. Kid Moro, Fill
ipino mauler was on the other
end of the above mentioned upper
cut, delivered in the fourth round
of the scheduled 10 round main
event between these two at the
local arena last night.
The bout started in the usual or
thodox fashion. each fighter test
ing the other out. Moro seemed to
be on springs all the time as he
jumped about the canvas with daz-
zling speed. Thomas showed prom

keeping Moro away from him with
a long left jab. Toward the end of
the third session he decided to
mix things up bit and the round
ended with both fighters throwing
plenty of punches.
In the fourth stanza Thomas
again showed an inclination to
bring the battle to close range and
herein made the mistake which
spelled his downfall. Moro just
climbed all over his rangier op-
ponent and it was impossible to
keep track of the fists which
were flying from all directions.
Came a slight breathing spell and
then while Ritchie tried to get
another hold on himself and launch
another attack he ran straight into
the uppercut which lifted him off
his feet and stretched him face
down on the canvas. The count,
while necessary according to the
rules of the game was more in
the nature of formality as Thom-
as was out cold.
The six round semi final be-
tween Murder Wilson, Yuma, and
Otto Blackwell, Los Angeles, both
Negro scrappers, was a wild and
furious affair with the Yuma bat

blow of the scrap struck by Otto.

he went down in a neutral corner.

Taking a count Of eight, the

got all the cobWebS out of his
head and then the affair develop

the sixth frame Wilson knocked
Otto through the ropes but the
latter hoped right back in
again. There was no count and the
two maulerS went at each other
again with plenty Of action.

six round decision from Tony Gar
cia. Los Angeles.
The two boys started right in at
the opening gong and kept it up
with but slight rest throughout
the entire six rounds Bobby hung
a sinner on Garcia's left eye in
the first round and kept peppering
at that optic throughout the bout.
Bobby'S cleverneSS stood him in
good stead in getting out of tough
spots when Garcia got him in
corner against the ropes and
was all set to plaster him with
everything he had Leyvas would
duck and squirm and when Tony
unloosed a haymaker in his dir
ection the Yuma flash would duck
under it and come up in the center
of the ring ready and waiting.
Tony had good right but
couldn't make much of it with
Bobby dancing about. When the
right moments came, LeyvaS was
right in the battle trying to get
over a kayo punch but Garcia was
too tough a customer. They have
been rematched for a return bout
next Friday night.
In the six round opener, Pelino
Garcia, Ell Centro, copped the de-
cision from Joe Disci, Los Angeles.
Both boys were willing but need
more seasoning. Pelino was the ag-
gressor throughout but was unable
to punish Joe to any extent.
