Why are mothers so eager for
their daughters to be social sue
cesses? Why Is a mother prouder
Of her daughter being popular with
boys and having many dates than
she would be If the girl had carried
off all the highest honors at college?
And, more especially, why is
mother so anxious to get her daugh-
tiers married off? Why would a
mother prefer her daughter to
marry almost any kind of a man
rather than not to marry at all?
And why does mother always feel
that her old maid daughters are a
reproach and a disgrace to her?
These are questions a young woman
asked me the other day. and then
she went on to say: That's the way
my mother feels and it is the way
all the mothers that I know feel
about their daughters. They are
proud of us if men put the seal of
their appreciation on us and
ashamed of us if men don't notice
us. And they want to get us married
off as soon as possible. Why this
should be the case 1 don't know,
since very few of them have got
husbands who were prizes in the
matrimonial lottery or found mar
riage much of picnic.
you would think that instead
of urging her daughters to rush into
marriage with the first Tom, Dick
or Harry who came along mother
would i.nplore them to be cautious
and wary and certain that even
Prince Charming had all his Gre
dentials before they trusted their
lives into his hands.
But not so. Mother feels that

wedding and is the crown of her
success, as you can see if you will
observe mamma as the last of her
daughters marches up the aisle in
white satin and tulle. She always
puffs out her chest and looks like
a victorious general.
And, stranger than that, a
mothers attitude toward her
daughters changes completely when
they marry. Before Sally Sue

The Scientific
Way to Care
For Ears
Women Over Forty
Should Dress Hair
To Show Lobes
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Not much attention Is required
ordinarily in the care Of ears.
We wash them and let them 20
at that. But how to wash them
is Of prime Importance If we wish
not to injure the delicate construc-
ton which enables us to hear.
One mistake frequently made Is
the attempt to clean the ears with
hairpins and other hard objects in
order to relieve them Of a sup
posed accumulation Of wax. II
should be sufficient to wash the
ears scientific, " with a twisted
wad Of absorbent cotton.
The presence of a certain amount
of wax is natural and has a protec-
tive purpose. If an abnormal de-
post is in one ear, or both of them.
1t should be removed by a physician
through washing process. Even a
physician should not insert a hard
object into the ear to remove a wax
deposit. Swinging takes longer,
but it is the proper method of clean
ing the ear.
Don't ever put a finger nail
into your ear when IL itches! That
is dangerous habit, for a scratch
by a nail may give rise to serious
Inflammation and possibly tragic
consequences. To relieve the itch,
swab the ear out gently with soap
and water. You may buy prepared
sWabs at drug store. or you NAV
twist wad Of sanitary absorbent
cotton such as mother does when
cleaning a young baby's tender
nose.
One should also take the pre-
caution to keep powder out of the
ears. If you feel you must tone
down the color of your ears with
powder apply it with your finger
tips to the outer part only. Rouge,
which some women like TO use on
the lobes, should also be applied
in like manner.
Button earrings. especially pearl
ones, frequently add to a woman's
facial beauty. Women over 20
should always show the lobes of
their ears by dressing their hair
back from their faces. Thus
button earring on the lobe can
bring flattering color close to the
face.
If skin rash or other minor
blemish appears on the ear one
should treat it with diluted gerni-
eide after a thorough washing and
rinsing. If a blemish persists one
should seek the advice Of a doctor
before local infection spreads into
the ear or to the scalp and causes
serious problem.

STANFORD BOSS
| DOING fine JOB
ON WEST COAST
Clark Shaughnessy Team
Unbeaten; Meet U. S. G.
Saturday
BY HARRY FERGUSON

NOAASCW \ AOSO OROA 10 A1tAAUVAy
New York, Oct. 23.-(UP)-He is
bringing back to Palo Alto some of
the glory that was there in the
great days of Pop Warner and Ernie
Movers.
The United Press dominates for
the coach of the week-Clark
Shaughnessy of Stanford.
It looked like he was jumping
from the frying pan into the fire
when he left Chicago University
last winter and moved into Palo
Alto, Cl., where a demoralized STAN
ford team had just finished dis
astrous season. But he took what
material he had, instillod morale
and fight into his squad and so
far this season he Is unb eaten and
united.
No Miracle Man
Even when Chicago University's
team was the laughing stock of the
nation in 1899, football men knew
that a good coach was on the job
at the midway. 1t would have TAX
en- a miracle to bring a winning
team out of the, material Shugh-
messy had in Chicago and he lays
no claim to being miracle man.
But he can rig up tricky, fast
moving offense and that is what has
brought Stanford victories over San
Francisco, Oregon, Santa Clara and
Washington State. On Saturday the
boys go against Southern California
in a game that probably will de-
ter1nine which team carries the
hopes of the west into the Rose
bowl.
Clark Shaughnessy is Al years old,
stands six feet tall, weighs 1877
pounds and is a graduate Of the
University of Minnesota where they
grow their football players rough
and tough. From 1914 until 1926 he
coached Tulane, compiling record
of So games won, q lost and six
tied. Then he moved over to
Loyola of the south where, in five
years, he won SO, lost 16 and tied
two.
Good Coach, Poor Teams
His record at Chicago from 1888
through 1889 is not impressive-17
won, "a lost and four tied-but his
reputation as a sound football man
was big enough to survive that. In
January of this year he went to
Stanford under five-year contract.
Shaughnessy's favorite expression
as he sends his players up and
down the practice field is "get nifty"
and that's what Stanford has done
this season.
It's just about the same squad, SO
far as personnel is concerned, that
went nowhere Aast year. But things
are different now. Running from a
T formation with style roughly
patterned after thath of the Chicago
Bears, Stanford is plenty nifty on
every play except punt formation
There Is a man in motion. There
Is usually a man floating behind the
ball to- take laterals.
Shaughnessy gives all the credit
for this years successes to the bows.
emphasizing thai they handle the
ball well and learn new plays quick
". Proof of that is that he de-
yised a new play between halves of
the Santa Clara game, diagramming
1t for them on a blackboard in The
pressing room. They promptly went
out and tried it-and went for eight
