Russ has been In the radio business for several years both in the dramatic and announcing fields, starting while at Connecticut State College out there In storrs. Active in radio drama tlcS, both acting and directing, ct WCAC, the college owned and operated station, he grad hated finally to announcer. In fulfilling his duties there, Russ was able to gain . wide expert. ence because his work included practically everything in the radio line.
 After college Russ heard of . vacancy at WATR and after the usual announcer's addition was accepted for . stan position.

PariS Styles

 Paris (UP)-A glance around tho smart bar of tho Crillon Hotel proves that Parisian hats aro go- Ing up and up--at least, for the lato summer season. The lofty bonneS with flowerpot crowns usually have the tall line broken by Q band of ribbon or Q narrow felt tie at tho middle of the crown.
 Here, too, are seen many of those three-quarter coats of Persian in- spirntion. Robert Piguet's creation, In black and white printed percale in c carnation design, is popular RS well as numerous Persian chintE patterns.

Your Health
Couples Guided To Happy Welded Life By Pre.Marital Health Examination

certain that . couple may live a happy married life and have healthy children,
 Such examinations are also ims portant in controlling tho spread of venereal diseases, or sex diseases, Finally, they serve to detect the beginning of chronic or degenera- tive diseases and to give oppor- tunity for cure, 30 that married life will not be marred by repeated ill., ness of either husband or wife,
 The Eugenies Society of Great Britain has drawn up an outline of the subjects to be covered by such examinations 30 that the im- portant disease conditions will not be overlooked,
 First, the doctor gets the name, age, address, and occupation of the person who Is to be examined, and learns whether he or she has been previously married, and whether thero have been children,
 The doctor then inquireS whether the person is related by blood to tho ono whom he or she ia to wed, This is important because of the possibility of intenSifying either good or bad characteristics by the marriage,
 Modern science does not condemn marriage of cousins, provided no harmful characteristics arc likely to bO transmitted in intensified form by the marriage,
 Next, the doctor finds out tho condition of health Of the ancestors and relatives AS . means of do. termining diseases which may run in tho family" The doctor seeks to learn whether, among these rela- tiVeS, there arc cases of nervous ness, nervous breakdown, mental disturbance or defect, insanity, faint ing spells, conVulsionS or Ats, cases of drug addiction or heavy drink ing, incidence of suicides, or such diseases As tuberculosis, diabetes, asthma, blindness, or deafness early in life.
 These questions are raised because tho conditions concerned may have some bearing on the occurrence Of hereditary complaints,
 The doctor then looks for symp- toms arousing suspicious of diseases which may be involved in inability of . woman to have children. All these may have an hereditary char acter.
 He then inquires as to the pres- enced of any nervous troubles, in- cluding mental disturbances, fits oi crying and periods of depression morbid fears, such as the fear oi traffic, height, of open or closed spaces, of thunderstroms, of animals or disease.
 The final question concerns the persons knowledge of the relation ships between the sexes, so that suitable explanations may be made when there is insufficient under standing of these relationships by either of the prospective partners.
 Following such study, Q complete physical examination is made to de- termine the presence of abnormali. ties, tumors, or similar disturbances
 Unquestionably, such a physical and mental examination before marriage would do a great deal tc clear Up difficulties which occul afterwa<d, and perhaps also wotHc help to cut down the increasing rate of divorce, which is q feature loe our modern civilization.
