Old?
By Josebhine L0wman

Not long ago friend of mine said,
in speaking of a mutual acquaint-
ance, II cannot understand what has
happened. Blank used to have such
good taste in dressing. She had
loads of chic and dash and was al
ways outstanding in such manners.
All of a sudden she has begun to
load herself down with bracelets,
pins, ornaments and bows. If she
had never possessed taste and style
to such q marked degree it would
not seem so strange"
Blank Is about SIS now and the
only reason I can imagine for the
change is that she is unconsciously
attempting to look younger than
she is and gayer than she feels. In
my estimation, any woman will look
like Christmas tree If she wears
many bracelets, ear rings, pins, neck
laces and bows all at once, and if
she is past early youth, she is apt
to look like slightly bedraggled one.
A few well-chosen ornaments do
wonders for a costume but too many
spoil its elegance. Simplicity, style
and distinction are even more i'm
portant to the older woman than to
the young one. I suppose we all
have to watch out for unconscious
repercussions in ourselves as the
years pile up. Many women lose
their charm and beauty in muddle
of girlish squeals and manneriSms,
and a sudden loss of taste in dress
which is induced by the terror OF
buying clothes that look like an
old woman.
Those of you who have read why
Grow Old?" at all regularly know
that I do not believe in age con-
sciousness or dressing your age" in
the accepted sense of the phrase.
I think that far too many middle
aged women pass up the help which
color gives them and take to black
only. However, we do have to use
some sense in these matters and
certainly should kid ourselves out
of such tendencies as my acquaint-
ance has given in to.
If you wish to have my leaflet,
Clothes to Suit Your Figure and
Personality" send a stamped, self
addressed envelope with your re-
quest for leaflet No. 54 to Josephine
Lowman in care of The Evening
Star.

STOP JUVENILE DELINQUENCY!
From Mrs. B. L. T., Arlington.)
The horizon of this page, mean
ing really that of the women who
participate, has seemed to me to
broaden greatly during the three
years I have read the page. This
medium of information, exchange
and discussion has gone far beyond
the recipe" stage, for the letters
have broadened to worthwhile civic
projects (such as recent letters con-
cerning United States Savings
Bonds, Community Chest, cold
abolishmelt, etc.l.
I believe this trend is indicative
of a general change in the Amer
lean homemaker land there is no
more important individual in Amer
ica-or elsewhereD. Juvenile de-
linquency falls naturally on the
shoulders of our group. Women are
the basic group with which youth
guidance and training must start.
Each of us is responsible for the
training being given each day to
our own children. That is funda-
mental. To do the best job possible,
let's 60 beyond our own personal
responsibilities and endeavor to help
civic projects which are striving to
accomplish the same thing on q
larger scale.

Browns Picked Wronq
W. g. PhiIs Figure
By the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2O.-Hert
Pennock, general manager of the
Philadelphia Phillies, figures the st
Louis Browns got the wrong w. G
Hammer when they drafted Wesley
Garvin Hammer from Toronto of the
International League.
The two Richmond, Va, brothers
were property of the Phils, but Pen
mock considers Wilbur Granville the
better of the two. Wilbur Gran
vile played with the Utica Blue Sox,
champions of the Eastern League
last year, and will be brought up for
spring training. Wesley Garvin.
older of the two, was with Mem
phis in the Southern Association.
Pennock figures here is what
happened, knowing that Owner
Dick Muckerman of the Browns
had his eyes on Wilbur Granville.
When Muckerman saw w. G. Ham
ner of Toronto on the draft list
he thought the Phils had sent Will
bur Granville out for another year
of seasoning.
Actually, the Phils had moved
Wesley Garvin up notch. So the
Phils got $4,000 for a player who
hadn't figured in their plans. Pen
mock said the Chicago Cubs recently
offered $4,000 for Wilbur Gran
vile.

Trojans Given
Inside Track on
Rose Bowl Bid
Nomination Is Seen in
Spite of Possibility
Of Tie for Title
By the A.soeiofed Press

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2o.-Ths
Pacific Coast Conference grid CAM
paign could wind up Saturday in
four-way tie for the championship,
but win or lose, the University Of
Southern California has the inside
track on landing the Rose Bowl
nomination.
Here's the picture:
II U. c. L. A. should whip the
Trojans and California win over
Stanford and Oregon over Oregon
State. the final standings would
leave each of the four schools with
one conference defeat-California
by U. S. c., U. S. C. by U. c. L. A.,
U. c. L. A. by California and Ore
gon by U. c. L. A.
Nonconference games do not
count in the standings, but they
doubtless will receive consideration
in the event of deadlock when the
10 member schools vote for the Rose
Bowl nominee Monday.
If U. G. L. A. should knock over
the Troys by q heavy score, Cali
fornia most likely would get the
vote. The Bears lost but one game
all year and walloped the Big Mines
Wisconsin, 48-7, which is better than
the 40-6 meted out to Wisconsin by
Michigan.
U. S. G. has not been defeated
but has TT tie with Rice to mar
its record. However, it would ap-
pear that if the Trojans can't whip
U. G. L. A., they won't stand much
chance of winning from Notre Dame
and the conference then would
have elected a twice-beaten, once
tied team to do the honors New
Year Day In Pasadena.
U. G. L. A. virtually blew its Rose
Bowl hopes in losing, 60, to Cali
fornia, as we'll as dropping close de-
cisions to Northwestern (27-26), and
Southern Methodist (7-0).
One conference official, who must
remain unidentified for obvious
reasons, said he anticipated no
under-the-table politics when the
brothers vote by telegram. He ad-
mitted that in many matters U. s. G.
and U. c. L. A. usually discover they
trail by an 8-to-2 count.
But I'm sure in such matter as
selecting their Rose Bowl repre-
sentative, politics will not figure and
the best team will be selected" he
said.
