V|LLANOVA HERE
FOR OPENING OF
SEASON
Match Divorced From
Commissions Control
BY CHICK KENNY

College boxing makes a double
debut in the District Of Columbia
tonight.
First, it marks the opening at
traction Of collegiate ring warfare
for the season.
Secondly, it marks the first
match staged, as divorced from
the control Of the District Boxing
Commission, hitherto the guiding
hand Of the college sport, which
was established many years before
the Commission ever was inSti-
tuted.
The match tonight brings to-
gether the mitt-SlingerS Of Cath
olic University. undefeated last
season, and Villanova College, the
toughest opponent faced by the
Cards last year. And the first bout
Of the evening is booked in the
c. U. gym starting at $50 O'Clock.
vILLANOVA FAVORED
Only the bad weather may re-
duce the crowd which is expected
in the neighborhood Of 1000.
Although undefeated and boast
ing Of perhaps the same team as
that Of last season, save for its
heavyweight star, Leo Katalinas,
the catholic U. team Is given
underdog rating this evening. If
you are a betting man, you will
probably get 6 to on the visiting
Wildcats Of Villanova.
-Four good bets in the ranks Of
the Cards are Co-Captain Davey
Bernstein, intercollegiate 100
pound champion; Co-Captain Fred
Slant, middleweight kayo artist;
Geary Strang, sophomore welter-
weight, and Jay Turner, heavy
weight hope. But even one Of
these favorites may be defeated,
as was the case last year, when
Slant lost to his Villanova ad-
verSary.
WILDCAT STANDOUTS
Should the above named four
capture their respective battles.
and Tony MaSsuri, 1875; Nester
Martinez, 1856; Bill Gearon, 145,
and Julius STANCES, heavyweight,
come through with a victory or
draw, Catholic q. automatically
will win the meet, and should go
through the remainder Of the
season with an unsullied record.
But Villanova bids fair to give
the Flying Cardinals all they are
bargaining for. Heading the visit
ing aggregation is Capt. Bill
Duffey, welterweight and general
ly conceded to be one of the best
boxers in his class in Eastern col
legtate boxing circles. Then there
is Big Ed Killian, the heavy
weight, who gave Katalinas a good
fight last season.

lovely role is pretty tiresome If a
woman is called on to play 1t for
any length of time. And with that,
we have decided that there Is no
reason In the world why q white
haired woman can't have fun living.
A few nationally known women,
like Maude Adams, set the idea in
motion by taking up new work at
an age when they should have been
content to dream of past triumphs.
And now down in Knoxville, Tenn,
little white-haired bundle OF en-
ergy, Mrs. M. E. Parmelee, Is prov
ing that you don't have to be famous
to find something interesting to do.
even if you are twice as old as wo-
men who worry about being forty.
Mrs. Parmelee has just published
her first book "a book of poems
called 1.-THE Supreme Drama" AL
her life she has found little time
for poetry writing, but not enough
to really get down to studying and
polishing. At 88 she has found the
time. The book Is out-and she Is
tickled pink.
This trying something new isn't
exactly new to Mrs. Parmelee. At SO.
when her children were grown and
she had a breathing spell, she be-
gan to study painting.

Movie-going Not Harmful
Unless It Becomes a Drug

classics, so long neglected, were de-
cidedly box office"
I think the silence that thunders
so loudly now IS because Of better
pictures as whole, the multiple
educational reels, and cleaner plots.
Mothers, however. have come to
realize too, that the picture show,
like the motor car, has come to stay.
Children know more than they used
to guess at, and that is accepted
more cheerfully.
MOVIES CLASSIFIED
LIKE BOOKS
Do I think that movies are harm
full, a recent letter asks? This lady
thinks 1t is dreadful the way young
sters spend money on them day af-
ter day.
Right here I am going to class
movies with books-good, bad and
indifferent. Books may become an
escape and even an obsession. They
can, and do, become the dream
world that takes the boy or girl out
of real life and provide a soothing
substitute for work, study and social
mixing.
So it is witt. the daily movie.
Some children not only 60 every day,
or at least several times a week, but
they remain for the second and even
the third showing. That Is not all
play. 1t Is an anodyne or q slim
ulant obtained synthetically.
I believe most emphatically in
amusement. All people need to for
get their problems and troubles for
few hours. 1t Is wholesome and
healthy to do so. But omake a
career of moving going is not to be
recommended, and that Is exactly
what many youngsters do. Once or,
occasionally, twice week is enough.
No, have great respect for the
lessons to be learned from the good
movie. That children are more en-
lightened and sophisticated Is not
alarming in itself. Maybe some are
too susceptible but parents can reg
ulate that themselves.

PIANO CARE

A piano Is a sensitive instrument,
also an expensive investment. The
right care will prolong its good
service and its beauty. Place the
piano In the room In such a position
that 1t is kept as much as possible
at normal temperature, away from
dampness, cold winds and sudden
changes, all of which are harmful to
the tone of the piano as well as its
ebautiful finish. Excessive dryness
is just as harmful. During the
months when artificial heat Is used,
keep container OF water in the
room where the piano is located.
Never, of course, place the tnstru-
ment near register, radiator or
steampipe. Expose the keys to light
every day to keep them from yellow
ing. Dust with q soft clean cloth
and occasionally wipe off the keys
with slightly dampened cloth. then
dry thoroughly.

Inflammation, sensation as though
sand in eyes," In tnrecognized and
unchecked cases advancing to ulcera
ton Of cornea and serious damage
to the eyesight. In nnilder cases the
only noticeable manifestation OF
shortage of vitamin A may be night
blindness, inability to see well In
the dusk or in dim light, or against
the glare Of approaching traffic In
night driving. This fairly common
condition Is q factor IN many traffic
accidents at night. Sometimes It Is
q factor In the loss Of Q Job. For
instance moving picture operator
became unable to see the signals or
cues for starting new reel small
dots or points Of Light, until he tried
taking natural vtamin A and then
within q day or two he could see
the cues as well as anybody and his
job was saved. A familiar test for
night blindness Is made with an in
strument by means Of which the
subjects ability to see small points
or dots Of light in a totally dark
field Is registered. It must be re-
membered, however. that other con-
ditions than vitamin A deficiency
may be accountable for night blind
ness, although certainly it can do
no harm in any case to try taking
optimal doses Of natural vitamin A
(say 100000 units in capsules-four
capsules) daily for week or two
as test Of the matter, and II this
brings notable improvements, then
seeing to 1t that the diet includes
adequate amounts Of vitaInin A rich

Severe deficiency Of vitamin A Is
likely to be responsible for an OBJ
