Cl-Mlni Unit for Sunday Ton Late tn CIamIO A Uli Saturday afternoon PIam ramamhar American College Health Programs Said Inadequate New York, (U.R) Health and physical education programs in many American Junior colleges are not in conformity "with se lected standards of desirable practice,"' Dr. Henry J. de Giro lamo, a member of the hygiene department of the College of the City of New York, reports after investigating conditions in 68 such institutions throughout the country. Dr. de Girolamo found that junior colleges are deficient in one or more aspects of health supervision of students, health service, health instruction and physical education. A fourth of the colleges inspected did not require health examination for matriculating students; in a quar ter of them the department of physical education did not as sume responsibility for health examination of athletes, and in 10 per cent no health examina tion was required of athletes Hospital care for all students was not provided In 5 per cent, while' 30 per cent did not main tain complete health records of students. .

(U.R) The second month of , major league play begins today after a surprising start marked by (1) failure of the St. Louis teams to bid for a repeat one-city world series as expected and (2) the threat of New York or Chicago teams to do it if the Missourians can't.

(U.R) Hats, with flowers, fruits and vege tables and now hats made from Kansas corn husksl Students at the University of Kansas and in Lawrence are using Kansas wheat straw, cat tails, slough grass and corn husks for making handbags, belts, coasters, hot-dish pads, rugs, pottery, whisk brooms and women's hats. Maud Ellsworth, director of elementary school art in Law rence, and assistant professor of art education at Kansas uni versity, said 'recently that corn husks are suited to many uses. She told of an acquaintance of hers who dyed some husks navy blue and made a hat for her spring ensemble. One simple practice in the use of corn husks, Miss Ellsworth said, is to dampen the husks, shred them to the desired width, and make flat three-strand braids. These are sewed together with strong thread. The husks dye well, she said, but they aften need no dye because husks have a natural color variation from pale cream to brown.
