Sports Hazards
The football season brings te>
mind the hazards associated with
sports and athletics. During the last >
five years, 146 deaths were directly
attributed to injuries suffered in j
fogtball games played by young-;
sters. athletic clubs, high schools
and colleges. Sixty-nine additional
death* were ascribed to football.,
but were due to other activities. Of j
the 146 authentic football deaths.!
almost half were suffered by play
ers of the high school grade.
However, these figures should not ■
be misinterpreted for in a given
year there are almost 10 times as
many high school students playing
football as there are college men.
in reality the fatality risk is three
times as great among college stu
As to the inherent hazards hi I
football. Dr. Marvin A, Stevens has
said, "It is probably far more dan
gerous to motor to a football game
than to participate as a player.”
Nevertheless, athletics present a!
definite hazard, a substantial por-j
lion of which can be eliminated !
Foremast, among the preventive
stands that intangible somethingl
known as good sportsmanship. The |
player with a sharp temper or the
one who bears a grudge is likely to
injure himself or to inflict Injury
on another. This hazard is greatest
in teams composed of young and
Immature players. Adequate coach
ing is also important in the pre
vention of injuries. Every player in
football, as in other games, should
be definitely Instructed on the haz
ards involved and should be taught
how to avoid them.
Adequate equipment also contrib
utes to accident prevention. While
football leads the list of sports and
athletic activities giving rise to in
juries, there are others which also
carry risks. In the order of their
importance they may be listed for
men as follows: polo, wrestling, la
erosse, soccer, rowing, boxing, touch
football, basketball ice hockey and
heavy apparatus.
, Women do not play football and
for them the most hazardous ath
letic activity is apparatus work
Riding field hockey, basketball and
speed ball are also hazardous acti
vities far women.
Part of the special hazard asso
ciated with injuries sustained dur
ing sports activities lies in the
temptation for the player to earn’
on, though injured. The Spartan
Ideal prevails in competitive games.
Thus, siprple injuries ara feadlly
compounded and the more serious
injuries may lead to fatal results.
It is better sense and even better
sportsmanship to withdraw from
the game when hurt. Prompt diag
nosis and adequate medical care
tend to minimize the damage s\|f
fered. 1

'Economizing' On Bed*
By BROOKE PETERS CHURCH
The young: couple were furnish
ing their new home. They bought
a davenport and two easy chairs, a
dining room table and chairs, and
a radio, lamps, a dressing table and
a bureau. On the beds they saved
money.
AH their lives they saved money
on beds. The children slept in beds
that were not only cheap, with weak
and sagging sp/ngs. but poorly
made up. The sheets were too
short, the blankets were grimy, the
pillow’s and mattresses humpy.
A little baby spends most *>f its
time in bed, and even the adult is
in bed for about one third or at
least a quarter of every 24 hours
But how many housewives consider
> this? How many mothers realize
that their children's posture is
largely affected by how they sleep?
One grows, one’s organs function,
even while one sleeps.
A bed for a tiny baby as well as
for an adult should be solid, the
springs even and not too yielding,
the mattress level and not too soft.!

firm and smooth.
Bed clothing should fit the bed.
sand the sheets especially should
adequately cover and protect the
mattress, which necessarily cannot
be changed every* so often. Blankets
should be warm and light and scru
pulously clean. They are a splendid
breeding-place for germs. and
since they constantly touch the
face, may easily carry infection to
the sleeper.
All the bed clothes should be air- j
ed onoe a day, and then replaced
on the bed smoothly and drawn!

If ft is humanly possible chil-j

any other detail of housekeeping
can be neglected more safetly than
the beds in which the members ofj
the family spend so large a part of,

HOiiiYWOQD.—Tala Blrell was
the “girl who looked like Garbo.”
Jt did not matter that she had
done things on her own In Europe
on 6tage and screen. When she
came to Hollywood, this Garbo
conscious townAhe was put through
the make-up mill. Her light brown
hair was bleached and brushed into
a Garbo bob, and all the trickery
that lies In paint pots was employ
ed to make her over. She was pho
tographed in Garboesque poses, and
her studio had a "second Garbo ”
Natalie Bierl of Bucharest, Rou
mania, had grown into a talented
actress who admired Garbo but did
not wish to Imitate her. So Tala Bl
rell was unhappy. After she did
"The Doomed Battalion” she met
ner own doom m Magana.
Propped After Bum Picture
"Nagana'’ was one of those pic
tures. It was a starring vehicle for
Tala Birell but it was made of
stock shots of wild animals and
Jungles, with Tala and Melvjpi
Douglas thrust in here and there
for story purposes. Tala says she
never figured out who she was in
tile story, or how Douglas happened
to wander into it, or why the pic
ture was made.
It was bad enough however, to
cause Douglas to go back to the
stage and gain success all over
again before returning to films, and
to cause Tala Birell to be “drop
ped." She too went to New York.
“I was determined not to go
homp a failure,” she says. “I told
myself I should never join the pa
rade of foreign players who come to
Hollywood and go back without ac
complishing anything. It was hard
to get a play in New York because
my accent was heavy. But I stayed
until I found one—my role was a
Russian countess.”
And in that role a movie pro
ducer saw' her and brought her
back to Hollywood — because she
looked like Garbo. It was for the
picture, ‘'Let’s Pall in Love.” She
played a temperamental foreign
star who •‘walked’’ and gave Ann
Sothern a movie break. And that
led to other exotic roles, adventur
esses and villalnesses
Can Be Herself Now
But all the while she was study
ing, erasing her accent. Improving
| her English. She wanted to do real
acting jobs afain. She had one
| chance in ‘‘Crime and Punish
ment,” which was the high spot of
her Hollywood experience,
j Now she is back at the studio
' where she started. But it is under
new management. They don’t want
l her to look like Garbo. In her first
| picture there, “Blonde Dynamite,"
1 she wears glamorous clothes and
drab prison uniforms. She has let
her hair return to Us natural color,
| and is busy being Tala Birell.

Sundown Stories
For The Kiddies
Willy NUly’a Excitement
By MART GRAHAM BONNER
They arrived at the empty house
and went Indoors.
“Oh dear, oh dear!” sighed Willy
Nilly. "I had quite forgotten that
we had left It in such disorder. But
we had some feasts here, and the
muddy tracks made by the cow and
her twins have now become dusty
floors. Yes, yes, there Is even more
to be done than I thought. Get to
work, Puddle Muddlers! There Is no
time to waste.”
“You were going to telj us why
you were so excited about this
house - cleaning.” quacked Mrs.
Quacko.
“Just get your family of ducks
washing the floors and I'll soon tell
you," answered Willy Nilly. “Rip,
push around this mop in the up
stairs rooms. Top Notch, hop up
to the shelves with this duster and
clean them all off. Christopher
Columbus Crow, here is a duster for
you—you fly around and get rid of
all the cobwebs.”
Never had they seen Willy Nilly
so hurried over such a matter as
house-cleaning. Never had he been
so in command. They felt they
must hurry, and yet they had the
feeling that they must do their
work thoroughly.
“You’re going to tell us why
you're so excited about this clean
ing? You have something special in
mind?” barked Rip, as he ran
downstairs to have Willy Nilly wring
out his mop in fresh water.
‘Yes. yes. of course. I'm excited
and I’ll tell you why in a very
short time. I have something spe
cial in mind; oh yes. but we must
finish the work first of all,” the lit
tle man briskly answered.

SMALL TALK
By MRS. RENN DRUM
SINCE I ONCE ^OT CALLED DOWN FOR NOT ZhUX&S
ing the answ^ <t> a problem which I hadn’t even proposed,1
T don’t mean to hi caught napping on that score after I have |
propounded one.
The correct aswer to the prob
lem about the haaseman who went
to the fairs is 29. One begins, if one
works it at all, a* the end of the
problem, with the one horse he had
to ride home and the one horse he
used to buy his way out of Pair No.
3. Since he sold half the horses he
had when he got into the third fair,
one doubles these two horses and
concludes that he had four horses
left when he got inside that third
fair. Adding the two horses he paid
to get into number 3 and out of
number 2, one has six. which one
doubles again for the number
lied had on hand when he got
inside fair number two, and from
that one continues to add two and
double until he reaches the 28 with
which he started.
Of course if one wants to strug
gle with algebraic equations, includ
ing clearing parenthesis, one may
begin with X equals the number of
horses ,etc.
* * * •
And the next problem, which
may or may not have an answer, is:
Why don't Indians have beards?
One of my friends, who professes to
know it all, assures me In good
faith that it’s quite true they don’t
have. The Indian male need have
no nicking his face every night, no
custfhg when the water’s cold, no
pouting when the wife has used the
razor to trim the linoleum; the In
dian man of the house simply side
steps the shaving issue.
The dictionary when checked on
the subject specifies that Indians
have only a sparse growth of beard,
not sufficient to demand shaving.
So that settles the question but
doesn’t explain it.
WATCH OUT FOR A DELUGE OF
bandeau hats as soon as the mak
ers of hats can get ’em on the mar
ket. Why? Because Mrs. Simpson
has worn one in practically every
one of the hatted photographs of
her which have filled the papers
these last months.
At that, it might be a relief if
congress passed a law forcing all
women to wear uniform hats, even
if all were bandeau hats. It would
relieve the population’s skyline of
this appalling array of garden im
plements, kitchen utensils, fish and
fowl, which at present masquerade
as hats on the heads of the female
portion of the human race.
• • • •
From that subject it’s a short
step to the influence Mrs. Simpson
|has had on the world’s beauty trade.
A recent news story says:
“The Baltimore Belle has con
vinced American women that it is
never too late to be charming, ac
cording to New York beauty ex
perts.
"P. Richard, a leading halrdrees
er, said that within the past ten
days at least 20 per cent more
women have come to us.
"Most of them ask, that we make
them as beautiful as Mrs. Simp
son,” he said.
And may I add to that, if the lady
has stimulated in women the desire
and determination to be beautiful,
she has rendered a real service, in
the world, regardless of what any
ol us think about the royal romance.
The world is shorter on beauty and
charm than, any other items and
consequently they’re two of the
things it needs most.
The next move will be for the
men of America to erect a monu
ment to Wally.
