ton adequately.
Vacation Report
You probably wouldn't be lnter
ested to know about what a sports
writer does on his vacation. But
even if Col. Gillette doesn't think
q sports scribe needs a vacation
we really enjoyed it.
In part it was a busman's non
day, for we journeyed out 10 tne
Bronx on one day and witnessed
the slaughter of the Indians TO
the tune of IS to 2 by the inimitable
Yankees. And aside from watch
ing some of the best baseball tai
ent in the world perform we had
a ringside seat at the fight be-
tween Indian hurler Al Milnar and
Yankee coach Earl Combs. Al was
considerably peeved because the
veteran coach fathomed every
thing he was pitching and when
the lanky Tribe moundsman was
called in he took a full-sized SWING
or two at Combs.
Lifebuoy and the Yanks
After we had taken Jul seats in
mammoth Yankee stadium, we
started reading the signs. One IN
particular attracted our fancy. IL
read: 1.-THE Yankees use Llfebuoy
in their daily showers"
Commenting on the sign, we
overheard a nearby fan remark
II wonder why they smell this
year then
Before the second inning W a S
over, however, the said fan had
taken it all back. The Yankees
looked better than the best and
with a stable margin at that.
The Yankee Fan
And don't let anyone kid you
that the Yankee fan is any less
yociferous than the Dodger fan.
While that game was going on
they yelled, they cried, they
laughed. They did everything
even down to pulling off t e r
coats, shirts, hats and even start
Juggling at their pants.
And even after that Is to 2 de-
bacle, and we were gathered IN a
little bar across the street from
the stadium reading the auto
graphed pictures of the Yankee
greats strung along the oaken
walls, l had to take back all the
things 1 had said about the champs
because a hefty red-faced man
that looked like John L. Sullivan
told me to.
I had timidly remarked that the
Indians did have a chance to win
one game out of the series. The
man looked hurt. He also looked
like l should be hurt. I might
have been if I hadn't agreed that
the Yanks were the best ball team
afoot.
Anyway, the John L. looking
gentleman was right. Cleveland
didn't win a game in that series.
In fact, I am almost convinced
that they may never beat tn
Yankees again.
Not In the Ritual
Outside of that ball game and
Eleanor Holm's Acquacade at the
Fair, about the nearest thing we
came to sports while in the met
ropolis was trying to race about
a million people to the subway
entrance and not get trampled.
At any rate, New York
much fun. But we're glad to get
back in this corne and after we
catch our breath we'll start figur-
ing out what it's all about and tell
you of it.
And now, thanks again to the

You want the admiration Of 9th
ers, don't you? Then, use your
head Dull, dingy hair has a re-
polling influence on people. You
yourself know that you don't turn
your head and look a second time
at someone whose hair is unkempt,
discOlored and drab-lOOking.
Despite the popular saying that
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" 1t Is my
belief that Gentlemen Prefer Won
en-" no matter what the color of
their crUwning glory--IF it is a
color--One cOlOr-any color that is
attractive.
Look at your hair In the front, on
the back of your head, and lifting
several strands, look underneath.
Is 1t streaky and vari-cOlOred, Is II
spOtty? Is 1t lovely because Of Its
, well-grOOmed appearance?
II you are disappointed In the
way your hair looks, If the cOlOring
does not suit you, apply an ac-
credited cOloring and see for your
self how much improved your APP
pearance will be.
Don't be a stay-at-hOme, don't lose
opportunities for happiness and rO-

have overlooked the appearance of
your hair. It's so much a part OF
you but that is all the more reason
for taking care of it-beautify your
hair with regular treatment and a
well-rounded diet.
The subject of proper foods for
general health, as well as hair
health, will be considered in later
column, so for the time being we
shall think only about what daily
routine will help to develop your
hair so that you will be the envy of
your friends, and the admiration of
your masculine associates.
The small amount of effort ex-

will pay handsome dividends Use

Juvenile Laws Criticized

Despite a steady trend toward
more liberal procedures in dealing
with juvenile delinquents, legal ex-
ecution of children is still possible
in many states, according to Gil
bert Consulich of New York. legal
research assistant of the National
Probation association. Consulich
declares that the death penalty has
never proved a deterrent to delin-
quency or crime. Socialized and pre-
ventive methods, he says, were far
more effective than harsh and brutal
punishments. Terming laws permit
ting the execution Of juveniles to
be relics Of the day Of the thumb
screw, the rack and the faggot,

How President Resigns

+ A President or vice president Of
the United States may resign by
signing a written statement of resig-
nation and forwarding 1t to the de-
partment Of state-not to the legis-
lative or judicial branch Of the gov
eminent This procedure Ii set
forth in a federal law adopted In
1892 and still in effect The law says
in part: "A resignation Of the Of
fee Of President or Vice President
shall be an instrument in writing
declaring the same and de-
livered into the office Of the Secre-
tary Of State" No President has
ever resigned. but one vice presi-
dent has-John c. Calhoun of South
Carolina. He quit the vice presi-
dency in 1892 in order to become q
senator.

were going to braid it) all over your
head, and taking one part at a time,
brush upward and outward with Wig
Orous strokes Keep this up until
your scalp fairly tingles with life
you have already improved the cir
culatiOn, and good circulation to the
roots Of your hair will result in
stronger and healthier hair.
If your hair is dry, try oil treat
ments or shampOOs. Keep out of
the sun-on windy days, remember
to wear some kind of covering on
your head because the elements are
hard on hair and render the problem
of caring for the hair a most diff
cult one.
If your hair Is oily, use egg sham
pOos to help brighten IT, to bring out
the sheen which is ordinarily hidden
by the accumulation of oil from the
scalp.
1t is never good to scratch the
head-instead, place your fingertips
on your scalp and gently, but firmly,
move the scalp backwards and for
wards, and from side to side. This
exercise has stimulating effect and
will reward you in hair beauty and
health.
For the next several weeks, con-
centrate on your hair. 1t Is a lot
more beneficial to follow a few rules
for beauty regularly, than to con-
fuse the mind with many which, in
the end, are forgotten because 1t is
too hard to remember so much.
Don't go around envying others
beautiful hair when it is so easy to
have beautiful hair yourself.

Substitute for Old Chores

Various factors in modern life
ave made it more and more diff
cult for growing children to take
n important part in family activi-
les" says Prof. Ernest Osborne Of
Columbia Teachers college.
Chores in a city apartment or
even in a suburban home are al
most non-existent. 1t is only nat
ural that children are given little
chance to share in the remaining
responsibilities Of the home or in
the planning of home activities.
1T is necessary for parents to
make conscious efforts from the
earliest years of the child's life to
include him in the planning of FAM
lily activities and to allow him to
assume certain responsibilities for
which he is adequate. Only as he
gets the feeling or the satisfaction
that comes from helping to plan a
vacation or some other project, viii
he develop the basic pattern Of Co
operation essential to good citizen

Sizing for Rugs

Rugs in constant use frequently
lose their shape and just won't
lay down because the sizing on the
under side has deteriorated. Ae-
cording to the extension service of
the University Of Nebraska agricul-
ture college, the life Of such rugs
may be prolonged by resting them.
First thoroughly clean the rug by
shampooing and let it dry. Then
tack 1t napside down on the floor
and apply a solution Of one part
glue (one-fourth pound and eight
parts water 1.-TWO quarts). II the
rug is light weight, be sure not to
put on so much glue that 1t pene-
trates to the right side. After ap-
plication Of the sizing, let the rug
dry for "a hours before relaying.

A fog of official secrecy blanket ing Moscow obscured the answer to Europe's most urgent question peace or continued war between Russia and Finland.
 The Finnish delegates, this morn- ing, were apparently still closeted at the Kremlin, hearing Russia terms for peace.
 Helsinki newspapers disagreed as to whether the delegates were about tO return nome Or remain in Mos COW for time.
 Finland'S Scandinavian neighbors are reported divided 50-50 between optimism and pessimism, according to news agency advices.
 Copenhagen reports said the Moscow negotiations between Rus sia and Finland are still on, ap- parently meaning Russia'S demands have stiffened.
 The British Foreign office reit- crates that several communications have been sent to the Finnish Gov einment offering military assistance il requested.
