 Edward, left alone, prowied lamely aboat his suite on the sec- ond floors of the big house. It was deadly to be indoors this fine spring weather.

Inheritance of Weak Eyesight l Will you please tell me, asks ar ! eastern correspondent, if children born of nearsighted parents would have defective vision. I am other. | wise as physically perfect as right living and correct diet makes pos sible. (Mrs J. L. M.)
 If both parents are. nearsighted the children are quite likely to be nearsighted. This is mainly ques- tion of physical resemblance. The form of the child's body is likely to bear a resem blance to the physi- cal type of one or both parents. The general shape of the skull largely determines nearsightedness or myopia. The nearsighted or myopic individual has long skull and relatively long eyebalI. A difference of hair breadth in the length of the eyeball makes great difference in the vision.
 Almost daily inquiries come from or concerning the question of glasses for young persons who are near sighted. There seems to be persistent delusion, that putting glasses on young child .weakens, the eyesight.
 The truth is that the proper glasses conserve the child's vision, when there Is a high degree of myopia or ncarsightedness. The lenses serve to save strain on the focusing power. Proper glasses keep such a child in more intimate touch with the world alround him. They help him to learn. They pre- vent the child from acquiring the blank expression that a young per- son is likely to acquire when he or she fails to see clearly the ex- pression on the faces of those about him and so does not reflect or respond to such impressions in his own expression. Proper glass; es prevent the near-sighted child from getting the reputation of dumb or dull child, in school and elsewhere Proper glasses enable the near-sighted child to see what the play or games of his con- panions are all about and to take part in such healthful activities instead of moping by. himself or herself, with shoulders hunched over a book.
 
 is bes; qualified to measure the neafsighted chiid's vision and to decide about the strength of lenses the child should wear. Not only Is such care necessary, but be- lieve the use Of drops by the eye physician, in order to determine what the eye can do without un- conscious straining, is in itself of great value, becau use 1t gives the eyes a rest for few daSs. and rest from ali near work is the best thing that can happen to near sighted eyes.
 The near-sighted child should be encouraged to play and live in the open. He or she must be strictl, limited to the amount of reading. sewing or other near work the physician deems safe. It Is of great importance to provide the proper lighting for the near work such a child does. This, too. the physi- clan should explain to the parent.

1t casual air that is correct on any, informal occasion. The tweed scarf of black. gray and yellow
 plaid carries out the new vogue for more than two colors in any one ensemble, and makes one want to start right out to look for football schedules.
 The third type is quite elaborate and is for the girl who can have more than one winter coat. It may be fitted at the waistline or built on easy. wrap-around lines. but it generally is made of a really
 precious fur and often is trimmed
 with an equally elegant one. For example, we point with pride to the broadtail creation (center). It wraps around the figure, has standup collar that can be fast ened high about the neck or worn open, wide armholes and full sleeves that are trimmed with bands of silver fox.

 The Obvious Thing to Do.
 Both children were quite all right, yet those two visitors, not much more than girls themselves decided that when they married anl had children and they got hurt they wouldn't be so bookisll about 1t. Their arms were itching to cuddle those two casualties, dry their tears and pat the sore spots Even the kicks were forgotten. "He wouldn't kick his mother.

FAILURE To WIN
SAD BLOW To
DETROIT
By FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL

by FhANh 0UCA ONE4LL
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 10.
The toughest and most bitterly
fought world series of recent his
tory is over and the st. Louis
Cardinals are champions of the
world. They brought the consecu-
tive triumph to the National
League, for the first time since
1925 and '26 when the Pirates
and Cardinals beat the Griffmen
and Yankees respectively. The
Giants beat Washington last
year.
Here in Detroit, a disappointed
fandom mourns the fourth world
series defeat of Tiger teams since
the motor city first was repre-
sented in the American League,
and buzzes over the scandalous
events that happened yesterday
afternoon when Joe Ducky Med
wick was expelled from the game
at the order of Commissioner
Kenesaw M. Lands.
AS I saw the play, Owen kicked
Medwick, and the latter lashed
out with his spikes, scoring direct
hits on Owens chest.
All things considered, we were
lucky that the fighting did not
break out long ago. The games
produced what Mickey Cochrane
called facetiously Slashing good
series. Durocher and F'risch
bumped every one who came near
them. Bill Rogell beaned Dizzy
Dean down in st. Louis, and there
was no shower of pop bottles, no
disgraceful scenes whatever. The
beaning Of Dean was purely accl-
dental.
Paul Dean knocked down
Mickey Cochrane with a couple
of chin.burning fast ones and
Cochrane blocked the plate in a
way that Medwick spiked him
trying to get home. So it went
until finally Owen almost showed
Orsatti's nose through to China

rougher with his knees than he
did with his bat.
frankie F'risch added to his
world series record of safe hits
by cracking cut half a dozen
more to bring his total to So.
Pepper Martin tied a fielding
record making four errors. Kindly
scoring gave Owen a hit and

Manhattan or Navy is weak or
mediocre.
For years Navy has won games
because of the high-spirited play
of really inferior football players.
Navy is always tough to beat be-
cause the Middies have high spirit,
fight like the very devil when all
seems lost, flash rare courage and
daring in their desperate efforts
to win, and otherwise prove that
the high-spirited player is the
hardest fellow in the world to
beat. Only another player of
equally high spirit and greater
mechanical ability can defeat him.
1t is difficult for coaches to ex-
plain in detail to their players
this remarkable attribute of spirit.
Yet spirit has won more football
games than any other single
factor.
