policemen and firemen, in selling
tickets for a boxing show to be
held at Griffith Stadium on Octo-

Commissioner Hazen agreed to
permit this if the show is given q

Mrs. Boyle estimates that 1t will

from some degree of malnutrition.
There are at least 5000 children
who must go hungry. without q

All Unnatural Factors


Result: Contraction of business expenditures,

none of them is natural A big crop is natural

tGirls are more of a problem

tieularly true when your Amy
reaches that difficult period when
she's neither child nor woman (. /.
when she's too young to wear
grown-up dresses and too old to
wear pinafores. She's awkward,
ungainly and probably self-con-

you're doing everything you can
about it. In a short year or so,
she'll turn into a lovely lily maid.

it needn't-to surround her with
all the charm and beauty you can
command.
Above all, if it's humanity pos
pible. see that she has a room Of
her. own. And make it into a
haven for her. Her bedroom, for
instance. A place to relax and
dream where Launcelot may
ride BY, if she wants him to. Soft
color for the walls-soft yellows,
blues, pinks. Or, if she's hard

like something a little holder.
Furniture in pastel color is al
ways nice, with dressing table,
easy chair-and a desk where a
poetic mood can be fulfilled.
Grapes and bed coverings may be
either fluffy or simple-according
to whichever kind of a girl she is.
But whatever she chooses, let her
have her own way, with a gentle
steering along the lines of good
taste.
What colors? Whatever she
wants. There are a great many
lovely ones. Creamy white with
pale green or blue or pink. Pink
with blue. Yellow and blue. Both
deep dark and light pink. French
blue, soft red and white. Your
paint dealer will have many ideas
for color schemes, and will be
glad to help you work one out.

your daughter. It's her room.
Having her own way contributes
very materially to her poise and
