injury?"
Nor need a ''bean-ball head
gear" be cumbersome affair. The
Wilson Sporting Goods Co. of
Chicago has devised baseball
cap padded with cellular rubber to
protect young ball players and has
been supplying them to safety
conscious schools for years. Big
league ball players use them, too.
DR.. Vincent Nardiello, exarnin-
ing physician for the New York
State Boxing Commission, recon-
mends the new thumbless boxing
glove to prevent eye-gouging and
thumb dislocations. To reduce the
astronomical number of dental
casualties in football, caused by
high-velocity tackles, the National
Federation of High School Athletic
Associations urges compulsory
rubber mouthpieces for young pig
sknners. They're similar to the
rubber moulds used by fighters
to protect their teeth.
If your son is one of the thou
sands of boys who play football,
you would do we'll to ponder the
grim findings of Professor Floyd
E. Eastwood, of the American
Football Coaches Association. As
chairman of their Committee on
Injuries and Fatalities, Professor
Eastwood probed into the causes
behind 486 gridiron killings during
the past II years.
wAthletic Haxa-lixi"
ONE of his observations was that
SO per cent of these deaths we're
caused by blows to the head which
resulted in fatal brain or spinal
cord injuries. Most of those
deaths could have been avoided"
Professor Eastwood concludes, "if
the players had been wearing
proper helmets"
For more than Is years, DR..
Harry E. Mock, a successful Chi
cago surgeon, gravely concerned
with footballs numerous fatalities,
has made speciality of the prob
lem of head injuries to gridiron
athletes. Together with his two
sons. also surgeons. DR.. Mock
analyzed the case histories of more
than 5000 injured players from
every state. Their conclusions:
Modern football helmets offer in
adequate protection, leave the
base of the skull and the back of
the neck vulnerable. The player
who wears a plastic helmet is
committing athletic hara-kiri."
BAttsxing Ram
l HE trouble with the modern
football helmet is that it doesn't
protect. 1t is more a weapon of
offense than defense. Whether
made of steel-hard plastic or tough
pigskin, it converts the speeding
tackler into a human .battering

bly, showed back against the base
of the wearer's head and neck,
frequently Injuries him.
These helmets are particularly
brutal to the opposition. Last year
one high-school player was killed
when an opponent slammed head
on into his midriff. The armor-
plate plastic helmets snap ribs,
knock out teeth and break Jaws.
The tough leather headpiece may
also spell sudden death, and the
exposed strips of its outer surface
lacerate the opponents flesh, men
ace his eyes.
OF LATE, medical and scholastic
authorities are waging a hot war
against these murderous helmets.
DR.. George Bennett of Johns Hop
kins, whose patients have included
many famed athletes, denounces
the helmets bitterly. l spoke with
Lou Little. Columbia Univer-
sity's football mentor. He, too,
believes that modern football
gear requires "softening up" to
provide greater protection for
both defensive and offensive play.
Caught in this heavy crossfre,
the homicidal plastic helmet seems
about to be thrown for a perma-
nent loss. Recently. the National
Football Rules Committee notified
the various equipment makers
that it contemplates outlawing
plastic and hard-fber headgear by
1850.
And, according to Professor
Eastwood, your son will soon be
wearing a helmet which will re-
duce head injuries to a minimum.
Football experts have been study
ing information made available
by the Department of Medical
Aviation at the University of
Southern California. Their plan
is to design headgear which is
lined with foam rubber. The
amazing shock-absorbing power of
this resilient substance has been
demonstrated in experiments
which show that an egg can be
dropped from Is feet on a sheet of
foam rubber without breaking.
Safer football is on the way.
Wisconsin Plan
WILL your child be hurt in scho-
lastic sports this year? The chances
are very slim, indeed - provided
he lives in the State of Wisconsin.
For years Wisconsin has acquitted
itself creditably on the national
scoresheet of scholastic injuries
with a consistently low ratio of
accidents. While the national
average for cases requiring medi-
cal attention is 80 per 1000, in
Wisconsin the toll has dipped to

debts, contracts and insurance.
1888 Family Cases.
Family matters account for
about one-third of the cases. The
bureau accepts as clients only
those whose income is so low as to
make it impossible for them to
engage the services of a private
attorney. Even in such cases, if
the claim is such that it may
ethically be handled on a con-
tingent fee basis, it is referred to
a member of the bar not con-
nected with the bureau, and the
bureau withdraWs from the case.
There were 1888 family cases
handled last year. A typical one
was that of a mother of five small
children, deserted by her hus-
band, seeking means to force him
to contribute to their support.
Since the law would permit his
being committed to Jail, the ends
of justice would have been served
better by keeping him out of jail
and working-an old problem to
courts and welfare agencies.
The trouble in this case was
keeping the husband working. His
method, when his employment
was discovered, was to quit his
Job and have no money to contrib

sation. These lawyers maintain
regular Office periods of an hour
a week each at the bureau.
In addition students from the
various law schools contribute
their time as legal assistants. The
only full-time employe is the ad-
ministrative assistant.
Generally, the case load of the
bureau falls into three broad
classifcatjons: Family matters
which include problems involving
separations, desertions. failure to
provide maintenance for children,
adoptions and legitimacy; prop
erty matters, which include
rights to real estate, landlord
tenant disputes, ownership OF
personal property and rights in
estates OF deceased persons, and
economic matters which involve
wage claims, damage claims, at

these were referred TO attorneys
in private practice.
In all, as against the $11,250
cost of operation, the bureau COL
lected 1898 for its clients and
saved others $15,811 for which
they would have been liable under
unjust claims.

80 clients. and 50 cases were ad-
justed out Of court, while A
clients withdrew their claims.
Only 81 cases finally got before
a judge, and the bureaus lawyers
made an enviable batting average:
Forty-eight won, three lost.
The bureau refused only 43 of
the 4,237 cases as lacking merit
and referred 292 others to appro-
pirate social agencies because the
problems involved were other
than rights at law. OF all those
considered, 755 were found to be
able to pay reasonable fees or to
involve matters where a contin-
gent fee would be advisable. and

after she had visited him in the
hospital that she decided not to
marry him. His problem was to
get the ring back. He did, but it
was more than a simple matter of
asking for it. In addition to all
these, there were 473 miscellan-
eouS cases.

The story of how $11,250 of
Community Chest contributions is
spent for purposes other than
food, clothing or shelter is told in
the annual report of the Legal Aid
Bureau made public today.
The total amount of the bu-
reau's budget, less than the sum
paid by many individual litigants
for lawyers fees, provided legal
advice and assistance for 4,237
persons in 1913. These clients
presented a fair cross-section OF
most types of legal work engaging
the attention of the courts in
Washington, with the exception of
criminal cases which the bureau
does not handle.
They included laborers, domestic
workers, abandoned mothers OF
children, elderly persons seeking
pensions, harassed debtors, and, in
general perplexed men and
women, in doubt concerning their
legal rights.

trustees representing the legal pro-

Economic matters were the next
largest classification - 1927 cases
for the year. One of these in
volved two young veterans who,
starting on a shoestring, were set
ting themselves up in business in
stalling heating equipment for a
sales agency. Their problem was
to determine whether to form a
partnership or a corporation, the
question involving taxes, licenses,
insurance, liability under damage

and responsibility with every
body else in the community here,
there, and everywhere, hat Amt

Pback gate talk, which is an
expression whifh got started in
the days before Lincoln and when
ever Amt Haggar's Chilluns had
any kind of talk to do or econ
versation to make about Gree
dom" and the doings of the big
house which they wanted kept
strictly amongst the chilluns.
That was when they used to go
down to the back lot or to some
other far away spot out of ear
shot and eyeshot of the Big
House where it was presumed
that tn eWhite Folks always
kept an eye and an ear always
open for such talk and CONVEX
sation. Well, we've been talking
about our being grown-up, and
it aint been down at what Grand
ma called the "Back Gate" But
just the same everything been
getting back to the Big House.
But what's more there is more
and more evidence that what's
amt making nobody mad so
been taken up to the big house
much, but it beginning to look
like its beginning to make the
folks of the big houses more and
more willing to take our word for
what we wants and what we ough-
to git. Sitting over my fish and
beer listening to a conversation
along the above lines which had
to do with the pedigrees of

Heads" that use to take nothing
and do US so much harm over on
our side of the track, instead
of them all becoming the victims
of some strange malady as Amt
