NOTES ON THE FIGHT


 When Joe Louis steps into the ling tonight to defend his title against Buddy Baer, it will be his eighth appearance at Madison Square Garden and the third de- :,ense of his title broadcast exclu- sively by WATR-Mutual. Of Louis seven Garden fights, two took place before he won the heavyweight title in 1897. The others have been as 8 champion. Despite the fact that Louis has won all his Garden matches and five of these by knock outs, not all his appearances there have been glittering successes. There was, for example, his first meeting with Bob Pastor in which the Brown Bomber was made to look very bad indeed by the back pedal defensive tactics of Bicycle Bob". Louis won the decision but lost lot of prestige. Then there was the title defense against Ar turo Godoy, Chilean heavyweight. Again Joe manage to win the de- cision, but for the first time, he lost a vote of one of the officials. The entire proceeds of tonight's title program will go to the Navy Re- lief Society. A large crowd is ex- pected to witness Louis twentieth defense of his crown, and thousands will tune to WATR at 10 o'clock for the exclusive MES broadcast.

For twenty-five minutes of the thirty devoted to WATR-Mutual's s Tuesday night quiz show, Whats My Name?", pleasant faced young man sits quietly in the last row of the Mutual Playhouse. Not a move does he make while Arlene Francis and John Reed King put contestants through their paces Even when the commercial comes in after about quarter of an hour, the fellow in the back TOW doesn't move. But at 8:2630 he jumps up and runs backstage. There, he draws two tumblers out of little black bag and steps onstage. Just before the sign-oh, he carefully steps in front of the microphone and briskly clinks the two glasses together. The clink is timed with Kings closing words on the pro- gram: ITO our health" Clink- clink-and sound effects man Don Foster has done his job!

Goes
Out as Wrap
Or a Dress
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-To be caught In
~ ones nightgown was once a
S h king experience, but who
would be very much disturbed by
being caught in a gown that had
most OF the details of a ball dress
and was made Of, shall we say, q
printed crepe that would be effec-
tive for ball as well as bedroom
wear?
Women who know clothes have
discovered that some housecoats
60 out nights either as wrap or
dress, depending on their fabric
and line. and that some house
dresses. negligees or hostess
dresses get about in mixed COM
pany. There really is no reason
for dresses that haven't too init
mate a look staying at home.
II women want to take the new
prints to bed with them, surely
that's their privilege. Printed
nighties have been gaining in
popularity. While the general
preference is for daintier tones
and designs than one might choose
for less intimate occasions, there
are women who look best in warm
colors and prefer them in. as we'll
as out Of, bed.
And speaking Of prints and the
colors in which they are liked, re-
ports from Palm Beach play up
paStelS-One color or white against
a pastel background. Gray, pale
blue and dusty pink are men,
toned as background colors.
Dresses with hip yokes are
something to think about; so, Of
course, are those with front full
ness or with an open panel or
redingote effect. The hip yoke Is
interesting because it is new. BY

Various Causes

Bed wetting Is the result OF vari-
Gus causes. An irritable bladder
distinct acid or alkaline urine
intestinx1 worms, stone in the
bladder, or even kidney trouble
may be the source. This does not
appear to be q complicated case
Her doctor should give her some
sedative drugs. such as belladOnna,
and strychnia. but only while
watching the case carefully.

soundly and Is hard to waken,

crease the frequency sof bedwet-
!. ting. An old grandmother's rem.
I edy was to tie q brush on the back,
between the shoulder blades, 50
that the child could not sleep on
his back.
I advise eliminating the cause
or causes Of local origin. and then
trying TO control the bladder irri-
tatiou. Sometimes dilating the
sphincter muscle Of the bladder Is
very helpful. Shaming the child
and punishing her may only ag-
gravate the trouble. It Is possible
that vitamin b might quiet the
nervous system. It Is obtainable
now In convenient form.
Mrs. p. 8. Of Pennsylvania,
whose mother has been told she
