Picnickers in the woods around Washington are apt to have the tick jump on their necks and hide in the hair of the scruff. Public health bulletins to local papers advised that the insects be picked off the neck very carefully, without crushing. Children coming in from play in gardens or woods should be gone over.

...annual survey of the industry compiled by Seidman & Seidman, top-flight furniture accountants, showed an aggregate net profit of 4.04% on sales of $430,000,000 in 1936, compared to a net loss of .6% on $307,000,000 sales in 1935.

S. fancy-diving was becoming fancier than ever, was what Diver Jump did with her weapons after being photographed with them. The bow & arrow were wired together. The click of the camera was Diver Jump's signal to drop them. By no means a novelty, the "Diana Dive" was invented by Photographer Powell in 1932, when he had Diver Georgia Coleman perform it to publicize the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles...
Lupe Lupien continues to lead the Crimson attack and is hitting at a fast .361 clip. The rise in the Varsity potency at the plate is evidenced by the jump this week in the team batting average in League contests from .226 to .252. Behind Lupien is Frankie Owen in the clean-up position with .324, while lead-off man Art Johns is clouting the ball at an even .300. Falling from first place to fifth in league fielding, the Mitchellmen hold a mediocre .229 percentage...
