If you want to see some real
Christmas glitter and some gor
geous Christmas dresses, by all
means go to Esserman’s.
Their dress racks are just bub
bling over with adorable holiday
dresses, dresses that are bound
to make even the homeliest look
really angelic.
I’m going to describe a few of
them in the next few minutes, so
you can get a bit of a glimpse.
A black taffeta flared skirt
swishes beautifully below a black
and white striped top of knit.
The stripes are horzinal and in
each tiny black stripe are wee
gold metallic threads that make
you light up almost like a Chirst
mas tree. There are three tiny
slits in the front jacket and two
in the back. The long fittest
sleeves are cuffed with black
taffeta, as is the neat roll collar.
Another, and definitely my
choice for the holidays, is the
I lovely, lovely irridescent rayon
jfaille by Minx Mode, you see on
; this page. It’s skirt has all
around unpressed pleats be -
'low a medium wide self belt
Perky bows on the shoulders, a
deep roll collar and bit of
sleeves make this dress all you
could ask for. But there’s more
—the colors are heavenly, garnet,
amthyst and gold—um!
Perfect for sweet sixteeners
(and a lot of other people) is the
femme fatale black tissue taffeta
with a basque waist and flared
skirt set off by a tiny dstruffle all
around the bottom. A hint of a
bertha is given with the big yoke
of pink lace under melene.
In blue or black two-piece,
with three quarter sleeves you
can see a pretty taffeta which is
sparkling with oodles of horizon
al gold metallic threads. The
dress is simply styled, what with
the gay stripes.
Carol King offers a simple
number in Toast. It has a gather
ed skirt, plain high round neck
line and tiny cape sleeves. But
wait, it’s not so simple as that—
no mam, swirls and swirls of gold
sequins decorate the entire top
of the dress in front.
Luscious red or green are the
colors of the glamour number by

MISS LORENE OWENS, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Owens,
of Armuchee Route 2, (Little
Sand Mountain), who has been!
named one of the 10 loveliest co
eds at Alabama Polytechnic In
stitue, Auburn, Ala.
A vaccine known as BCG (Ba
cillus Calmette - Guerin) offers '
limited protection against tuber
culosis. Studies are now under
way to determine the exact value
of BCG. Until more is known
about the vaccine, its use is not
recommended for the general
population. However, its use is
recommended for groups more
than ordinarily exposed to tu
berculosis, such as physicians
and hospital personnel, if they i
have a negative reaction to the i
tuberculin test.
Tuberculosis is not inherited. If
the disease seems to run in fami
lies, it is because, in the close
family circle, one infected per
son gives the disease to other
members of the family. Babies
are not born with tuberculosis. If
they develop tuberculosis, it is
because they have caught it from
someone else.
Tuberculosis ’frequently has no
obvious symptoms at first. This
is one of the insidious aspects of
the disease. Peoule who seem to }
be healthy may have tuberculosis
without being aware they are ill
until the disease has progressed
to a stage where long treatment j
may be required for its arrest.
Quilla Darby, which is truly
Christmasy and perfect for any ,
type. There’s sequins on the side
drape and also up the side of the
waist.
How’s this : crepe spring print,
pastel flowers on black back
ground, peplum which boldly
plunges into a deep V in back,
lined with black taffeta, and has
a simple top?
Then there’s the festive red
polka dot( the dots are black),
with black belt and tiny black
buttons. The skirt is
the fabric is tissue taffeta and
the price is right!
M. M. has other lovely num
bers, including some in that
“starlight blue” so becoming to
all.

Comment On Sports
WASHINGTON, D. C. Since
the political polls have fallen
from the public’s grace, other
rating systems have come under
fire. Here in Washington there’s
a growing number of news
hounds who feel that rating sys
tems used to determine national
rank in football are for the birds.
Not as in baroball’s organized
leagues, where each team plays
every other the same number of
games, the college football pic
ture is a little bit of everything
in the way of schedules. The
strongest team may be beaten on
one or two occasions, while some
team without a loss may be play
ing a ‘breather’ schedule, and be
ranked at the top.
Then the records that are so
wildely kept as to the country’s
leading runners, passers, etc.
—they’re results of the sched
ule a team plays in most cases,
though there are exceptions.
Snerdville A. & M. might have
the runnin’est ball carrier in the
forty eight states, but if he is up
against Michigan, North Caro
lina, and California op success
ive Saturdays, he isn’t going too
far.
On the other hand, Willie
Jones, of Georgia Tech, might
follow ten husky blockers and
trample over teams from small
colleges. But he isn’t necessarily
the greatest ground gainer in the
country.
Again, spirit has a lot to do
with college football, and be
cause one team whipped another
that whipped today’s opponent
isn’t any sure reason to expect a
victory. Likewise because one
team is undefeated in conference
play, while all other conference
teams lost, isn’t a good indica
tion that such a team deserves
the conference crown. It may be
the schedule that did it for the
undefeated team. But to the un
defeated goes the conference
crown on every occasion.
And now we get around to the
All-American teams, which are
just about as unscientific as
political polls. As long as we had
to choose one of them, we’d pre
fer Grantland Rice’s system—
which depends on the choices of
coaches all over the country.
Some of the others are farcial.
Thus, in football, the ratings,
the rankings and conference
championships don’t mean a lot.
In some cases they may be ac
curate. but next time they may
be far off the mark. Claims that
scientific football rating system
mean a whole lot are becoming
hotly disputed. Maybe someone
ought to conduct a poll as to the
scientific quality of football rat
ing systems.
Democracy in the economic set
up of the nation is just about as
important as it is in the form of
government.
