Conference Football 'Chalks
Up One Death Less
Than in 1885
Bv GEORGE KIRKsEY
United Press Staff ,Corresponden n /

NEW YORK, Dec. 81. up
Professional big-time gamblers
constitute the latest and most Sc
rious menace to college football,
Gus Dorais, University Of De-
troit coach, told the American As
sociation of Football Coaches at
their concluding session ycster-
day.
Harry Kipke, Michigan, was
elected president of the coaches
association.
The conference was informed
that football injuries directly
caused 28 deaths during 1886,
one less than in 1885. Prof. Floyd
Eastwood, Of New York univer-
sity, in his sixth annual report
made in cooperation with the Ma
tional Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters. announced
that only one death resulted from
college football last season COM
pared with 3 in 1885 and 8 in
1881.
The other deaths last season
were: high school ID, sandlot IL,
athletic clubs 2. For the first time
figures showed high schools with
q higher death ratio than colleges,
2.2 per hundred thousand players
against l.5 for colleges.
Prof. Eastwood reported that
there has been improvement gen.
orally in the football fatality sit
uation since 1881, with colleges
showing consistent Improvement
from year to year. Pennsylvania
has had the largest number OF IA
talities the past six years, 25. the
report disclosed.
"These big time gamblers NOV.
ed in on football in big way
last season." said Dorais, "and the
increase in gambling on oul
games was unbelievable. | don't
need to tell you what might hap
pen unless something is done to
curb this increasing menace"
Dorais said he had been inform.
ed that more money was wagercd
on football last year than on
horse-racing. Legalized betting on
horse-races in the United States
last year represented sum close
to q billion dollars, according to
conservative estimates. More than
$5O,0O,O00 was placed in New
York state alone. Persons in a po-
sition to estimate the betting OH
football doubted if the total sum
was higher than $50,000,0O0, in.

Paris Styles
BY MARY FENTRESS

Paris (UP)-The two-piece dressy
suit will play an important role in
fall and winter wardrobes, judging
from the early Paris fashion shows.
Heavy crepe, cloque weaves, taf-
feta, velvet and MORE are seen most
frequently in these tailored and
rather formal afternoon suits.
Black MORE is used for one of
these suits that is practical for
everything from tea or cocktails to
informal restaurant dining. The
skirt is cut short and on the bias
to give a slight flare at the hem.
The hip-length jacket is fitted
closely to the waist, then flares out
in a peplum that dips lower in back
than in front.
The neck yoke and small turn
over collar are of white ermine.
The yoke extends over the broad
ened shoulders and forms a squared
bib in front and in back of the
jacket. The white touch is further

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-09

Right at the beginning of the
school year, 1t is important to make
sure of the child's foundation for
the semester ahead.
I have known dozens and dozens
of children to go through five
months of torments because they
got off on the wrong foot" during
the frs few weeks of the year.
Usually they are not given home
work at first, except in advanced
grades, so the parent may not know
of the struggle until the leaves fall
or the snow flies. In the meantime
a complete confusion may be estab-
lished, particularly in arithmetic.
May Miss Explanations
The child can so easily miss a
point when the teacher is explain
ing a new process. It may be in
decimals, fractions or square root
Perhaps just ordinary multiplication
or division. Whatever the trouble,
it won't clear up of itself, and leads
to encouragement.
This is why I suggest that par
ents keep an eye on school work
for the first month. It takes such
few moments to go over daily
papers and note recurring mistakes.
If the child cannot understand
your way of explaining the mat
ter (for we've heard the cry, I'VE
don't do it that way in school)
then a little word to the teacher
may do a world of good. She has
no way of knowing that Billy is all
mixed up about placing his decimals
because he didn't quite catch her
explanation the first day she put a
sample problem on the board and
worked it out. She could put him
right in a few minutes if her at
tention were called to the matter.
This pertains chiefly to process
work. Concrete problems that must
be analysed before they are worked
are different. Many child can sail
right through with problem; once
he is told how to go about it. And
this is supposed to be left to the
child himself.
Parents Interest Aids
Yet the parent can help indi-
rectly by training the boy or girl
to tackle problems similar to those
given and encouraging a certain
logic.
The very fact that mother and
daddy are definitely interested in
lessons often heartens the student
to work harder.
And one other thing should be
mentioned, I think. This Is praise"
How quick we are to see the low
mark and scold about it, and how
silent about the others! Yet, in
many cases, we would do well to
reverse our opinion. It Is usually
the poor" subject Billy or Beth Is
most sensitive about, and that can
make the whole school year one
grand misery. Children need not be
praised, exactly, but they do appre-

stewed fruit.
Sirniki For Five or Six
Two cups cottage cheese, egg, l
tablespoon sugar, / teaspoon vanilla,
l pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons flour,
butter for frying, sour cream or
fruit.
Get the driest cottage cheese
you can find or make your own out
of sour milk.
Press the cheese through a fine
sieve, removing all Jumps.
To the cheese, add the slightly
beaten egg, sugar, vanilla. salt and
enough flour to bind. About table,
spoons is enough. Don't add toe
much -four, or the little cakes will
be heavy.
Form this mixture into IL or more
small rounds, patting them into
shape.
Place in the refrigerator to chill If
you have the time.
The cakes should be quite small
about 2 inches across. Serve 2 to
each person.
Just before serving time, fry the
Sirniki in butter until golden brown
and serve at once.
Serve cold sour cream or crush
ed or stewed fruit as sauce.
The little cakes may be made in
the morning, left in the refrigerator
and Drowned just before serving.
Saptay1,har Y,oaans continued hot
weather for most of us and after
the customary salad meal, Sirniki is
the perfect dessert.
A good family dinner based on
Sirniki for dessert would be cream

If you eat light luncheons you
will find Sirniki Just filling enough

EMOTION A FACTOR OF
ORGANIC DISEASE

A reader asks whether organic
disease, particularly heart disease,
may be induced by continued nerv-
tension, worry, emotional excite
ment, without other contributing
cause.
AS say in the red book Build
ing Vitality CNo. 16 booklet in
Little Lessons in the Ways of
Healthy, I take little stock in the
common conceit that premature
physical breakdown or wearing out
is due to the high tension and kill
ing pace is anything over fifty miles
per hour. Likewise I think the
populad idea that heavy business
responsibilities and domestic cares
bring on nervous breakdown" or
nerve exhaustion" is sheer hooey.
In his monograph on Angina
Pectoris (Harper & Bros.) DR.. Har-
low Brooks says:
4 "It is the writer's impression. that
the complex (angina pectoris) is OF
growing appearance among women
in this country because of the in
creased stress of life to which they
are obligated by the modern voca-
lions and avocationS of women :.
The writer wishes particularly to
stress the relation which emotional
tension bears to the evfiolution OF
the complex. 1t is proable that this
is due not only to the effects of
stress of this character on the de-
velopment of arterial disease, but
also because a life of this character
sensitizes the nervous system :"
Emotion may be defined as agi-
tation or excitement of the feelings
or sensibilities without motion. For
example, anger without fighting or
running away. Or as Webster says,
IAN impulse to overt action, and
internal bodily changes in respira-
ton, circulation, glandular action,
etc.; any one Of the states desig-
mated as fear, disgust, grief, JOY,
surprise, yearning, ETC."
These internal bodily changes
have a purpose. They prepare the
body for fighting running away,
vigorous effort, contest, play.
1t is not the impulse to overt
action, but resisting that impulse,
that does physical harm. Even re-
sisting through self-control is in
furious. When artificial aids to in
hibition, such as tobacco or alcohol,
are used, the body machinery has
to absorb abuse. 1t is like racing
an automobile engine without going
anywhere. Emotion increases blood
