Change Their Tune

It is doubtful. too. whether
even riflemen would object to
archers taxing a doe. Back in
the early days of hunting. these
modern Robin Hoods came in for
a lot OF jibing by those who prefer
a high power rife. But as the
years passed rifemen learned to,
respect those long. slender steel
blades that whistle through space,
carrying a message of death to
big game.
More important, the gunner has
acquired great deal Of respect
for the archer. Most Of them
feel that any one good enough
sport to try TO bring home the
bacon with bow and q broad
head deserves q lot Of credit

Fall Shoes
And Purses
To March
BY JOAN DEAN

SHOPPING FOR shoes these
days is as much fun as either
your hat or new Fall suit
and AS important. First thing 10
consider is color. II you're the
lady in black, then, of course,
you'll stick 10 black in footwear
which this season has been
smartened with contrasting ma
terials.
We found black suede. piped
and trimmed with patent :.
others studded with brass nail
heads and some have bright
piping around the soles. Many Of
these have bags TO match
NEXT TO black, always the
leading lady it seems in the shoe
world, brown is the predominant
ing color but il comes in so
many shades you'll have no trou-
bic complementing any color suit
or coat you may select for
the seasons brown in leather
ranges from tan 10 terra Gotta.
including luggage tan, calf, deep
cherry and on TO a delightful
tone called Tree Bark. border
ing on dark red but still
brown, if you please.
THE TREND we are told this
season is TO sensible shoes &.
mostly sport fashion for day
time wear and for evening we
will go completely Hollywood 4.
hence striped plpings and
variety OF trimmings.
One OF the incest groups we've
seen for sport wear is the wild
boar trio sketched for you today.
It's a pigskin tan with natural
scratches and wrinkles your
guarantee that the leather is
made from genuine pigs. You all
know. of course. the wearing
qualities Of a pigs nose.
This leather is sturdy, yet as
soft and pliable as a kid glove
particularly suitable for
school. college or business girls.
The wedge soles are for COM
fort.
Typical California casuals 4.
and that is where they are made.

Rules for Washing Rayon

dering washable rayons, have
met with success.

for information on how 10 wash

Child Needs
Many Hours
Of Sleep

A SERIOUS problem con-
fronting parents each year when
their children return 10 school
y the question of the change in
NeepIng hours.
During the Summer. when the
Youngsters are out OF doors
most OF the day, engaged in
strenuous sports and other .ac-
tivities. they become SO tired
physically that bedtime usually
is welcomed.
When the school year re-
sumes. the children face sud
den transition from great bodily
activity TO heavy mental ac-
tivity. Their bodies are less
tired and bed is less inviting
than during the vacation season.
II is al this season that par
ents must be- sure that children
not only get enough sleep. but
that they get the maximum
amount OF rest while they are
asleep.
Doctors specializing in chill
dren'S health problems believe
that the average first and sec
ond grade child needs close TO
u hours of sleep night.
In third. fourth and fifth
grades. 10 TO IL hours is suffi-
cient.
Those in the sixth grade and
above. including high school
youngsters. need not less than
nine hours OF rest on the kind
of sleeping equipment that af-
fords the maximum comfort.
