That prophecy doesn’t require the

evitable as a hangover. There are
too many evenly matched teams to
afford anything but a maximum of
excitement, upset dope and ruined

University of Chicago to forsake
football has led to a better balance
within the conference. No team this
year will romp over Chicago for a

can be very informal when it

of it that look good when worn with
bright plaid skirts. Often these vel-

Speaking of plaids—they are su-

Easily Learn to Write.
They first are taught to draw a
straight line and once this is ac-
complished they gain confidence and
it is comparatively simple to teach
them to write. .
Each student is supplied with a
paper six inches square, containing
a series of four upraised dots placed
one inch apart. Spaced between the
inch markers is another raised dot
to designate one-halt inch.
The student then places his finger
tips on one of the four raised dots
along each border which serve as
guide lines. Next, with a light pen-
cil at the tip of one finger, the pupil
moves it across the paper to the
right. Each repetition of the per-
formance will produce four paral-
lel lines and to the blind student this
is a great accomplishment.
Then after mastering the tech-
nique of drawing a straight line the
students begin writing their name.
This is a feat which many blind nev-
er have been able to do. It is Wally's
contention that the blind may be
trained in the arts, producing plays,
musical comedies and operas, to
further develop their talents.

‘Patriotism’ Themes
The craze for patriotic themes in
fashion’s realm reflects in the sea-
son's newest pririts. In washgoods
sections the stars and stripes are
floating throughout cleverly pat-
terned cottons, linens, broadcloths
and spun rayons. Such motifs as
flags, eagles, military emblems and
the like are patterning washable
weaves in artful attractive manner.
• For scarfs and blouses and acces-
sory items, there is a series of shiny
rayon crepe weaves that are most
intriguing. In this class you will
find the American eagle, the Amer-
ican flag on a starry ground and
even the Statue of Liberty.
LOS ANGELES.—Little did George
T. Wally dream 12 years ago that
his embarrassment would some day
lead him into a field that eventually
would become his life work, and as
a result, his embarrassing moments
would bring hours of happiness to
many less fortunate than he.
A new method of teaching the
blind to enjoy some of the pleas-
ures of normal persons and to awak-
en talents otherwise dormant is be-
ing developed by Wally.-
The idea was conceived by the
artist and former Golden Glove box-
ing champion in 1928 during the time
he was sketching characters on New
York streets. Finding it embarrass-
ing to sketch a subject amid curious
onlookers, Wally began searching
for some inconspicuous means of
making his drawing unobserved.
Sketched to Pocket.
He solved the problem by wear-
ing a deep pocketed coat and with
the aid of a pencil and paper drew
the sketch within the depths of the
pocket, never seeing the drawing.
As he put it, “I merely transferred
the mental picture onto the pad in
my pocket, using my fingers and a
pencil as a medium.
"At the time I wondered about
the possibilities of introducing such
a system to aid the blind,” he said.
Though the idea of subconscious-
ly transferring a mental-image to
paper occurred to him 12 years ago,
it was not until six months ago that
he began to develop it. And, after
a brief experiment in using it as an
aid to the blind, Wally believes the
blind can be taught to write,
draw and paint without the medium
(of Braille.
Progress has been made during
the past six months by Wally's 12
pupils. Unaided, aside from funda-
mental instructions. they have
learned to write their names, write
poetry, letters and notes, play tit-
tat-toe and paint simple designs [with

At that highly significant event,the
