come a national fuss involving the
two greatest girl bowlers that ever
fired a duckpin ball.
On the aggressive side was Lorraine
Gulh, top-ranking performer of the
country for years and president of the
Washington Women's Duckpin Asso-
citation, and opposed was Ida Simmons
of Norfolk. whom the experts say is
a sure thing to relieve Lorraine of
her diadem.
It was arranged month ago to pit
the Misses GULL and Simmons in a
contest at the Lucky Strike, with
Coyle Of Station WMAL performing a
Graham McNamee and giving the
sport in general boost.
But, sensing a bit Of business for
himself, Earle Stocking of Norfolk,
bowling alley manager and sponsor for
Miss Simmons, recently made coun-
ter proposal, and now there may be
no match. Miss GULL today baked
at his plan to include in the contest
the best girl bowler of Baltimore and
the best Of Richmond. with skirmishes
totaling 40 games to be rolled in four

FLETCHER HITS
LEAGUE FOES
Of BANKING

Attacks on the Administrators
program for amending and liberal
izing the banking laws and the
Federal Reserve act may give
q little trouble but are not founded
on sound fact" according to Sena-
tor Duncan U. Fletcher, of Florida,
chairman of the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee, who
called on the President today.
His attention was called to the
fact that the Liberty League and
other anti-Administration groups
had issued statements severely
criticizing the proposal to amend
the Federal Reserve act, particu-
larly by centralizing the control
of credits in Washington.
Senator Fletcher said:
81 do not put much conf.
Gence in the attack of the Lib
erty League. These amendments,
now being considered, are to
strengthen banking. One fine
thing is in connection with the
Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
pOratiOn, which has done a tre-
mendouS lot for the banks by
restoring the depOsitOrs' conf
dence; it brought millions out
Of boarding and placed them in
the banks. We propose to in
crease the guarantee to $4,000,
and to charge the banks one
tenth of 1 per cent for the in
surance; there should be no pro-
test against that.
"The people opposing the Ad-
ministratiOn's banking program
were also opposed to the Federal
Reserve system and every other
advance; they oppose control Of
credits here; but I'd rather have
1t here than in Wall Street."

on Tuesday, August the twen-

It is just as correct to have
the mans name first Gas one
would say "Mr. and Mrs."), if
you prefer this form. The phrase
wish to announce" is not used
just the simple word IAN

the date should be used, and the

Beauty
Floral Scents
For Summer
BY JULIET SHELBY


jeanette Macdonald, like most
intelligent women, prefers the
delicate fragrance Of flowers for
summer wear instead Of the
heavier perfumes which so de-
light us in colder months.
If you saw her in her great
screen success, Naughty Mari
eta" you could never associate
any fragrance other than floral
with this charming and talented
redhead!
One of the worlds leading
perfumers is offering floral
scents with matching fragrances
in toilet colognes. And q right
smart idea it Is! For many o
woman feels the need Of a touch
of perfume at wrists, throat and
behind each ear as the final
step to perfect grooming.
After literally bathing her
body in a fragrant cologne, she
does not wish to douse herself
with a perfume that does not
harmonic in fragrance.
You may buy these true floral
fragrances separately or in sets
of three. For instance, if you
delight in a lilac fragrance, buy
lilac cologne and a small bottle
Of lilac perfume. Quite natu'
rally, if you buy the trio set, the
cost per bottle is cheaper.
Your choice Of honeysuckle,
carnation, lilac or muguet will
be as fragrant as the blossoms
themselves.
More and more hostesses are
seeming fingerboWls with floral
colognes, floating a tiny bios
som in the scented water.
How refreshing. on a warm
summer day or evening, to dip
your fingers into cool water and
have them carry away the fra
GRANGE of the flower!
Just another reason why a
bottle or two of floral colognes

THE CORSAGE
"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

con which shoulder should .
c0rSage be worn, right or left?
81 have been wearing q young
mans ring and recently 1 gave
it back to him. Now we are
both going to the same prom
but with different people. When
I meet him, how should act?
If he asks me to dance, would it
be proper for me to dance with
him? S."
A corsage is usually worn on
the right shoulder, but there
isn't any rule about this, and
the wearer wears the corsage
wherever she thinks it looks
more effective.
Be gracious and friendly, but
don't over-do the friendliness.
Don't wear chip on your
Shoulder-on either shoulder!
And if the young man asks you
to dance it would be very child
ish and unreasonable of you to
refuse to dance with him, unless
there is some very serious rea-
son why you do not wish to.

Of Color
In Garden

Whatever the size of your
land, you can contrive a salts.
factory small one-color garden,
says House Beautiful. For the
larger space these one-color gar
denS are easy to develop.
Small areas may be set aside
in separate parts of the place,
reaching their perfection at GER
tain seasons and then closed
off when bloom has passed. For
the smaller space where only
one area is available a more
practical scheme is to change
the dominant color with the
shifting seasons.
For example, in late June and
July the blue of delphinium
might be the principal tone, re-
placed by a pink garden chiefly
Of phlox in August and sue
ceeded in turn by deep yenows
in October. In this fashion unity
of color is always present, with
out the sacrifice of many desir-
able plants not obtainable in
the desired shade.
One word of warning: Do not
in your enthusiasm for a single
color scheme choose only vari-
ationS of that shade. That way
lies monotony. Most flower col
orS are intensified by the use of
complimentary colors or white,
and the subtleties of color are
lost in too large masses of the
same primary color. The effect
is better where it is really one
predominating color with occa.
Sional contrasting shade.

DiphtheriG

Prevent diphtheria by i'm
nunizing your baby. Take your
doctors advice as to the earliest
age when the three doses Of
toxoid or toxin-antitoxin should
be administered. Then make
sure that your little one is given
the Shick test, six months later,
to prove whether he has been
made immune to diphtheria.
Prevent smallpox by vaccina-
ton when your doctor advises.
If necessary, you can have your
child vaccinated and immunized
against diphtheria at free clinics
in most communities.
Prevent the digestive and in
festival disturbances which may
lead to serious trouble in hot
weather by keeping clean and
fresh the baby's food and every
thing that touches it.
Prevent disease in hot
weather by protecting the baby
and his food from infection
carrying insects, and from con-
tact with domestic pets which
are likely to be germcarriers.
Prevent hot weather trouble
with the young baby over arti-
ficial food by nursing him for
at least six months, and by de-
ferring weaving, if possible, un-
til autumn.
Prevent scurvy and ricketts, by
continuous use of the vitamin
3oods-orange juice, tomato
Juice. codliver oil-and by Civ
ing the baby plenty of sunlight.
Prevent constipation by a
proper diet and the early in.
culcation of good toilet habits.
Prevent chatting by scrupulous
washing, rinsing and boiling Of
diapers, and by keeping the
baby clean and oiling the
creaSeS of the body. .'
The Washington times., 1935-06-29
Dress Lightly

Prevent prickly heat by dress
ing the baby lightly. II, despite
all precautions, heat rash does
appear on extremely hot days,
it will be helpful to sponge the
affected skin Arrears with bicar-
Donate of soda and water, or
to dust them with two parts OF
plain starch mixed with one part
Of boric acid powder.
Prevent teething troubles by
eating foods with plenty Of lime
before the baby is born, by
nursing the baby when possible,
by giving the right formula of
artificial food when that is
necessary and by giving the
vitamin foods which counteract
any tendency to ricketts,.
Above all, prevent serious
health disorders for your child
by keeping him, from birth,
under close and intelligent med
ical supervision. Take him to
the doctors to be examined
once a month during the first
year of his life. That is the
Surest way to catch in time any
defect or weakness or incipient
disease, and remedy the condi-
ton before it gets beyond rem
edy.
Your doctor is trained to de-
tect what you cannot; give him
q chance. Never hesitate to ask
his advice at any time between
the monthly inspections, if there
is some manifestation which
worries you.
