ternal sentiment, marriage relations and politics will disappear.” From one point of view this is not an entirely new idea. When the Greeks still had a word for it, It was the custom to choose certain women whose function it was to bear children and nothing else. They were chosen, I believe, according to their physical and temperamental fitness. a a a AND so it was possible for an Athenian husband to pick one woman to bear his children, another as an intellectual companion, and still another

mounted policemen, and betwen them jam the thousands of humans who swarm from the dozens of skyscrapters ih the neighborhood. The street takes on the appearance of a subway at rush hour, or like a Coney Island beach on Sunday. They gather in vast groups or mill up and down through the jammed lanes, arguing, gossiping, haranguing and just chatting in half a dozen languages. Most of them are foreigners from the east side or the upper Bronx. They are fitters and cutters and tailors and button-hole makers and clothes craftsmen of every description. They seem totally unaware of their congested areaway, accepting it as part of their lot in New York.

A stranger, trying to make his way through the vast crowd, wonders why they choose to pack themselves thus, like cattle in a box car. The segregated zone was set aside by officials to keep them from packing the sidewalks and streets in front of the buildings where they are employed. Even with this gathering place dedicated to them, throngs still gather elsewhere and impede traffic for an hour or more. tt an Doughnids Attradire JUST up the street a few blocks, facing Broadway, the amuse-ment-zone crowds are attracted these days by a doughnut-making machine. For a year or more the crowds watched, in the same window, a tricky machine that turned out cigarets. And listening to the various couples who stop to watch the magic of machinery, you’ll hear them remark on the changes that have come since turned out crullers on the old wood range In the kitchen. nan Reunions Arc Staged TALKING about things that happened "back home ’ is, in fact one of the most wistful phases of New York like. On the slightest provocation, two or three persons who came from the same neck of the woods will get together and stage an "old home” night. Just the other night four of the old San Francisco delegation, of which I am a member, met by accident at a party. Within ten minutes we had withdrawn from the others and were huddled in a corner recalling the grand old days when the Daily News, where we all had worked, was located in a grocery store and w r e had to get out a daily on practically nothing. All four of us had gone different ways. And though we were once close as the Dumas’ musketeers—one for all and all for one—we

meet in New York about once a year. Life in Manhat tan drifts folk about like that, and c i r cumstances generally militate against frequent encounters. I know scores of little groups like that. My wife atended art school in the west. Practically

Yet just a few weeks ago, upon a trip to Woodstock, N. Y., over the week-end, three or four of them got together for the first time in several years. I’m afraid we all get too selfcentered and preoccupied with our ow’ri particular affairs. But get us together and—oh, boy—listen to the chatter. (Copyright. 1931. bv NEA Service, Inc.)

to accompany him on his nightly jaunts to the local cabarets. So far as I know, there were no laws governing a man’s fitness to become a father. It was just taken for granted in those golden days that men were men and women had but to obey. nan IT might be argued that such a course was distinctly unfair to ihe women. But I doubt this was so. At least each one had her particular role to fill. A woman was not expected to be housekeeper, mother, intellectual companion and entertainer all in one. She could concentrate all her energies on the one particular job allotted to her. A mother did not have to spend a boring evening playing bridge with her husband’s friends the while she worried about whether the maid would give little Agrippa his milk on time. And. by the same token, a woman who preferred reading Plato to wheedling children into eating spinach was not expected to make motherhood ner career. It was beautifully simple and intelligent, but far from coldly scientific.

The declarer then played the jack of spades from dummy, South refused to cover, playing the deuce and the declarer took the finesse, playing the seven spot from his own hand. North won the trick with the ace and led his ace of hearts, dummy played the ten, South discarded a club and* the declarer trumped with the queen of diamonds. Declarer played his four of diamonds, winning in the dummy with the eight spot, South discarding another club. The ten of spades was then returned from dummy, South played the three and declarer the eight, North the six. The five of spades was then played from dummy, South played the four and declarer won the trick with the king, North discarding a heart. The declarer now applies the squeeze to South by playing his king of diamonds, North drops a heart, dummy plays the six of clubs and South is helpless. If he discards his queen of spades, the nine will be good in dummy so that all he can do is to drop the five of clubs. The declarer then plays the deuce of clubs, winning in the dummy with the king and returns the ten spot. South plays the jack, and the declarer wins with the ace of clubs and then leads his good eight of clubs, thereby making his contract of five diamonds. You will notice that declarer, by trumping high, was able to use the ten and eight of diamonds in dummy as re-entries. (Copyright. 1931. by NEA Service, Inc.)

Have Plenty of Tools

By XEA Service WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. Fall is near and winter on the way, and now is the time for repair work in the home. Weather conditions are favorable and fairly long evenings and good light aid considerably. But good tools and correct ones are what make work around the house easy. These tools, listed by Vincent B. Phelan of the United States bureau of standards, are most frequently needed and enable the householder to perform the ordinary tasks in the upkeep of the house. Here is the list: Claw hammer, two screw drivers, one large and wire-

WE don’t hear so much about dog-days as we used to, I wonder why! Is it because we got wise to a superstition, or because we have learned that dogs are no madder in August than at any other time of the year? That statement seems to imply that rabies is a common thing, but that is the last idea in the world I mean to conve>. It is entirely the other way round—dogs have suffered from such stigma far too long and they need a friend to put in a good word rather than make things worse for them. There is such a thing as rabies, certainly, but in proportion to the number of dogs in the world, it is a rare thing. We know now that many comparatively harmless diseases of dogs show marked rabies symptoms, such as frothing at the mouth. a Need Clear Water In hot weather dogs get sick from improper feeding, and from drinking unclean water, just as people do if they eat partially spoiled food and drink water containing bacteria. Then we jump to the conclusion that they are mad. I am giving a hot-weather dissertation on the dog for another reason besides the fact that I like to see them treated decently and fed properly. That reason is the children. If you want to keep your children safe, keep the family pet in good condition. As I said before, rabies is rare, but there is no reason for running the risk of even the lesser diseases. It makes a bad time all around, when a sick dog who is suffering pain or nausea lets his nerves get the better of him and snaps or growls his displeasure or bites somebody—particularly if he has grown resentful by too much teasing or abuse. a \ Bath Is Necessary Dr, axel MUNTHE. who wrote “San Michels,” tells about his dogs. He loves them, I think, better than he does human

doubt that anything less than a cosmic upheaval could change or eradicate the instinct of motherhood. ana THAT birth should be regarded as merely a surgical operation I agree with. And as such it should be the aim of every scientist to make this a painless operation. There is no earthly reason why women should updergo the terrific agony of child-bearing. We have spent millions experimenting with cancer cures, tuberculosis preventives and the like. But in this all-important function of child-bearing we still are hopelesly medieval. True, the very wealthy have at their command the newest discoveries and the

ablest surgeons to bring them safely and painlessly through this ordeal. But, after all, it is quite possible that some future genius will be the child of poor parents. Such things have happened before. Why, then, shouldn't that mother be the recipient of every scientific advantage available, so that she may bring forth her child in happiness rather than in pain? The oft repeated platitude that pain makes the child so much dearer seems to me nothing but a fallacy. Like other time-worn slogans, it was meant to keep the masses satisfied and imbue them with a sense of duty for fear that they might rebel and refuse to bear children.

What’s in Fasliion

Directed by Amos Parrish NEW YORK, Aug. 22. doesn't take more than one look at the new' fall hats to tell you that hair dressing is going to be different. With the spring and summer hat —worn as it has been, pushed

back on the head —it's been - the front of the hair that was seen. But new fall hats go up on the left side and down over the right eye. With some of them, the back of the hair shows, toe. The new hats are dignity personified. They’re are sophisticated as any hats women have ever worn. And much, much prettier and more feminine than any they’ve worn for years. The new hair dressing has to be dignified, too, if it's to be in the spirit of the new’ hats.

A Good Tip to the Golfer

How should one take care of his clubs when not in use ? a a a Now’ that the end of the golf season is close at hand —for the northern half of the country, at least—many golfers will be laying away their sticks for the winter months. After playing, it is good practice to w’ipe the club free of any moisture which might cause the wood shafts to warp. The shaft should be oiled slightly every week or so. Fraying of the grip or thread bindings should be given immediate attention by an expert. The best way to keep clubs in shape when not in use is to place them across a flat surface, such as a table, being sure the shafts are lying flat, with the heads over the edge of the table.

a a tt Hair Dressing to Be Far Different This Fall, IF it h Great Change in Hats.

So first off, the left side Qf the hair (the side that shows) will look smooth when it's fashionably dressed. Not necessarily straight (though if straight hair is becoming. it’s smart with these hats)—but not frizzy and wild looking, either. Large, flat waves are the thing. So it's a good idea to have*some of the hair thinned out underneath so it won't puff out at the side. Mme. Agnes, the French milliner, is one person who insists on this smooth, flat look and on some of her hats she puts a bandeau effect on the left side for the express purpose of keeping the hair flat. Some women are even wearing little sheer veils under the hat and over the upper left side of the hair to keep it in place. a a u Brush Hair Back Just about the simplest way of doing the hair becomingly for these new up-on-the-left hats is to brush it solftly back from the face, showing the left temple, with the ends of the left side hidden in the back under the hat. This is a way becoming to many w’omen —young or not-so-young—-slender or not-so-slender. It’s shown in the second sketch. A little more extreme version of this is to brush the hair back and up so the lower part of the ear—or the whole ear, if you like —shows. Some of the smart French women are wearing their hair this way and fastening on a short drop or button earring. The side of the hair can be waved horizontally (the usual way) or slanting vertically. nan New Windblown Bob A hair dressing suggested by Mme. Agnes for some of her more youthful customers is the new version of the old windblown bob. You can see it in the lower sketch the left side brushed forward and the ends cut in slightly irregular fashion. The hair can be left straight or softly waved in a vertical line. A quite old-fashioned looking coiffure —one that goes beautifully with the old-fashioned feeling of the hats—is shown in the top sketch. The hair parted in the middle, waved very flat on the sides and fastened very flat across the base of the head. And a tiny curl-a real "spit curl” completes the quaint effect. n an Side Roll Is Extreme If you want to look rather extreme, brush the hair straight down at the sides and curl the ends up in a tight little roll like the third sketch. Not easy to keep in place, though. If your hair is still very short, you’ll probably want to let it grow a bit so you can turn up the back in a neat roll or flat twist. It doesn’t have to be really long to do this—three inches is ample—but it gives a finished effect in the back that looks better than the close-clipped hairline. Some fashionable women who still have really long hair, find the easiest way to dress it is to twist the back hair into a coil low on the neck that shows below the hat. Or they twist it up along the back of the head vertically, French roll fashion. (Copyright. 1931. bv Amos Parrish) Next: Fashions in fall sLoes are reported by Amos Parrish.
