WHEN CIVILIAN TRIPS
BECOME NECESSARY
WATCHING THE WAR TIME
GUESTS as they sit about the spa
cious lobby of a Los Angeles hotel
one wonders who they are, where
they came from, why they are there
and what they are thinking about.
An old lady, evidently of rural
America, takes the chair beside
me. She wants to be talkative to re
lieve her homesickness, she explains.
I find she is the widow of an Iowa
small town banker. She came to
California to say good-by to an 18
year-old grandson who had, two
weeks before, sailed across the Pa
cific as a member of a carrier's
crew. "His father died three years
ago, his mother five years ago, and
he was my last 'chick'," she said.
The grandmother had traveled to
California in a day coach, as the
only way she could get there, but
did not feel able to return the same
way. She could not secure a sleep
er reservation for at least another
two weeks. The days seemed ter
ribly long. She wanted so much to
be back ,ia her Iowa home, to sea
her pet cat, to wear a kitchen apron
and have; the company of her home
town friends.
That bit of conversation prompted
another motherly soul to tell her sto
ry. She was in Los Angeles await
ing the arrival of a son, the youngest
of four. "My baby," she said. He
had been away four years. A cap
tive of the Japs on Luzon. Now he
was nnminp home, and she was ex
pecting the arrival of his ship each
day. Together they would go back
to the farm in Minnesota, where
his father and one brother were pro
ducing food for the nation. Two
other sons were in Germany in the
army of occupation.
A young man wearing a sailor
suit, with his wife and a small boy
of some two years, frequented the
lobby. The young wife told me she
came all the way from Pennsyl
vania, so Jim, for the first time,
could see his son. Jim had a 10
days' shore leave before his ship
would again sail for the Jap infest
ed waters of the Far East. When
the 10 happy days were over she and
the baby would return, as they
came, by bus, to await the end of
the war with the hope that Jim
would return to them. r
Such were but examples of
those found in that spacious lob
by. They were not vacationists;
their trips were, to them, war
ereated necessities. They had
endured hardships of travel, the
long waits for train accommo
dations, the crowded hotel con
ditions, the financial sacrifices,
that they might, to some degree,
satisfy the heart longings the
war had brought to them. The
war had inflicted cruelties other
than those of the battle fronts.
The people, most of them, in that
hotel lobby had not been lured to
Los Angeles by the California cli
mate, or a mere desire to go places.
War had brought them. War had
made their trips necessary.

INTEREST OF HOME
ALWAYS PARAMOUNT
THE INTEREST IN, and senti
ment for, close to 100 per cent of
the American people starts with the
family and home, extends from
there to take in the home town, the
county, the state and the nation. Up
to the time of World War I that
sentiment and interest stopped at
the national boundaries. We Amer
icans saw in the aggression of the
Hun in World War I a threat against
those things in which we are direct
ly interested, and we took a hand.
Following that war a percentage of
us believed we must extend our in
terests to cover the world, but that
percentage was not great enough to
force the ratification of the League
of Nations Covenant. A second ag
gression on the part of the Hun was
an even greater threat than the first.
From it we have realized that, like
it or not as we may, we must ex
tend our interests to a world wide
scope. We are not isolationists, nor
are we internationalists to the extent
of surrendering any part of our sov
ereignty.
We have to and we cannot
safely stop at onr national

protection for those things of
importance to us. We are will-,
ing to take a hand in world af
fairs that we may play safe for
oar more important interests,
oar family and home, oar home

THE LATE Henry Cabot Lodge,
then Republican senator from Mas

of the opposition, but he led more

of us remember the vote that result

New Development in
Poultry Buildings
Asbestos and Mineral
Wool Used Effectively
Something new and modern in
poultry house construction can be
found on the Tenderex farms at
Middletown, Ky.
The farm was planned with the
co-operation of the Stoker Poultry
company. The decision to build
durable buildings having long life
View on Tenderex farm.
with low maintenance, led to ex
haustive and careful study and ex
perimentation. The results found
are of interest to farmers generally.
Using Gothic-type house, prefabri
cated arch construction, with the
framing for the roof and wall com
bined in one unit, not only was a
saving made in original costs, but
considerable saving was effected in
future heating costs.
The 33 houses on the Tenderex
farms are all 24 by 30 feet, with the
continuous arches anchored to a
concrete foundation. Sheathing is of
tongue and groove covered with
thick butt asphalt shingles. These
type shingles are easily moulded to
the contour of any roof. Their gray
tone offers harmonious contrast with
the red hollow tile used in the end
walls.
Mineral wool was selected to insu
late the interior wall, which is lined
with asbestos board.
To eliminate dampness, the floor
consists of cinder fill and four
inches of hollow tile, topped with 2V4
inches of concrete.
An important factor in selecting
asphalt shingles, concrete, hollow
tile, mineral wool and asbestos board
was the fire-resistant construction
these materials provide.
Postwar Machinery
Pickup Baler
This is an automatic self-feeding,
self-tying baler with bale separation
making it a one man operation job.
Neatly formed and firm bales of
sliced hay weighing 40 to 65 pounds
can be turned out at the rate of three
to five bales per minute.
It is designed primarily for wind
row pickup baling. The construction
saves leaves and assures that all the
hay is carried into the bale cham
ber. It is a McCormick-Deering
postwar improvement.
Danger! Sheep Scab
May Be on Way Back
Will sheep scab stage another
comeback?once more causing mil
lions of dollars in losses, as it did
a few years ago?
Dr. Floyd Cross of the American
Veterinary Medical association and
government authorities report such
a possibility. "The condition is
present to an alarming extent in the
Midwest," Dr. Cross reports.
If sheep show loss of wool, forma
tion of scabs on the skin, or a ten
dency to rub against fences and
pens, the condition should be called
to the attention of a veterinarian.
Through greatly diminished wool
production, loss in body weight, gen
eral unthriftiness and death, scabies
play their toll.
The scab is caused by a small
mite, barely visible to the unaided
eye, but can be brought under ef
fective control.
The only effective treatment is the
external application of some medic
inal agent that will kin the scab
mites. This can be best accom
plished by dipping, foUowed by isola
tion. The dips recommended by the
USDA are made from lime-sulfur or
nicotine.
Fumigation Practices
Carbon disulphide is the most
common fumigant used on the farm.
It is a liquid that quickly evaporates
into a heavier-than-air gas. Opera
tors should avoid inhaling the va
pors or spilling the liquid on cloth
ing. Extreme caution must be taken
against fire.
Do not fumigate when the temper
ature is below 60 degrees. It is best
to start lata in the afternoon when
the air is calm, ft will take 14
hours.
Dirndl Skirt and Peasant Blouse
Costume Delights Teen-Agers
* ????
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
()F ALL the smart fashions for
^ young girls, nothing can eclipse
the endearing charms, the witchery
and the flattery of the picturesque
dirndl-skirt and peasant blouse cos
tumes which teen-agers take such
delight in wearing. All through
summer and midseason and on into
the fall these gay little twosomes
will stand at the top as the fashion
ideal for girls.
It seems as if these quaint peas
ant costumes are prettier and more
eye-thrilling than ever before. The
skirts give play to unfettered imagi
nation, for no matter how daring
their colorfulness or their fabric,
they have eye-appeal plus. The
more they go a la Mexicano or bal
lerino style the better.
The blouses worn with them are
of the lovely sweet-simplicity type
that simply fascinate with their re
freshingly naive and ingenue look.
They have everything about them
that makes a pretty girl look her
prettiest. The lingerie types made
of dainty white sheers with their
low cut drawstring necklines, or
with ribbon-threaded beading about
the neck and the sprightly short
puff sleeves, fascinate with their
cunning ways. Often the peasant
look is accented with trimmings of
gay embroidered banding. Others
of the sheerer type are exquisitely
but very daintily lace trimmed.
An adorable. peasant skirt and
blouse by Ballerino of California is
shown to the left in the illustration.
High artistry is seen in the beauti
fully styled black skirt with its
brilliant band trimming, formed of
braid together with tiny white
fringe. Double rows of Irish lace
add to. the witchery of this dainty
sheer and lovtly fine batiste blouse.
One of the many charms of this ex
quisite model is that it can be worn
either in the exciting off-the-shoul
t
der effect or be adjusted at will to a
more conservative neckline.
To make you look as cool as an
ice-cream soda top your flower
fresh print skirt with a white voile,
cap-sleeve, U-neck blouse cut along
the lines of a simplicity pattern, for
the glory of these winsome peasant
blouses is their dramatic simplicity.
With her pretty-pretty print dirndl
and peasant blouse costume, the
dancing girl to the right wears that

ry out the ballerino spirit, draw
your hair to the top o" your head
either tying a ribbon about your
coronet of curls or encircling it with
a wreath of flowers, or a single
large flower according to pref
erence.
In the twosome centered in the
trio the order has been reversed,
in that blouse is of print worn with
a black skirt. However1, the sim
plicity theme holds good, for the
charm of these winsome blouses is
that they be made as simply as pos

Girls who know their fashions are

blouses. Just the fact that it re

another dirndl, has caused these be
coming little twosomes to become
the mainstay among girls whose
clothes budget is limited. These
smart lassies buy up the most at
tractive remnants imaginable of
permanent glaze chintz or gay flow
er print or spun rayon or any likable,
material and they run up a dirndl
in a jiffy. These enterprising an*Q-v
teur sewers find too it's a good idea
to lay in a quantity of bright ric '
rac, for it makes the perfect trim
ming for dirndl-and-blouse play
clothes.

Pastel Cottons for
Back-to-School Wear
Women who are fashion-wiae have
come to know that pretty pastel cot
tons are just as practical and as
much-to-be-desired for little girls'
back-to-school clothes as they were
at the springtime of the year. Who
wants to go to school on a hot Sep
tember day in other than a cool and
refreshing wash frock. If it be a
bit cool in the morning children are
wearing the cutest little toppers
imaginable tailored of pastel wools.
This year there's a definite move
ment on in favor of pastel cottons
for back-to-school wear. Even the
beloved plaid ginghams have gone
pastel, and they're ever so smart
and pretty for little girl's frocks.
The new light-colored cottons for
school wear include pastel-ground
plaids, also checks and clean-cut
white stripes on pink or blue cham
bray.
Color Parade for Fall
Features Plum, Ityby Red
Among the new colors we'll be
seeing much of in the near future
comes a deep dark plum tone. A
soft ruby red is also noted as one
of the new colors of the year. White
wine, the shade which got such a
good start for spring, is featured
again in the new collections. Gray
continues to carry on with style
prestige. Royal blue is a novelty
shade that still appears in many top
collections, usually contrasted with
black. Chutney brown is a rich
lively brown that is given an im
portant place in the mode. Beige
is a quality color that has a big
future. It looks like the autumn will
be richly colorful.
\XfHEN Tommy Holmes of the
* * Boston Braves passed Rogers
Hornsby's consecutive hitting record
of S3 games, the time seemed to
be about right for your correspond
ent to look up a few notable
records that might last for genera
tions.
One of these is Joe DiMaggio's
consecutive hitting record for both
jeagues max loxaieo
M contests. This
took place in 1941.
DiMaggio began col
lecting base hits on
May 15 and Anally
ceased firing on the
16th of July.
Any record can be
beaten, but this will
be a tough one to
crack. There are
two other almost
GrantlandBice Pn?n">m targeis
that may never be
surpassed. One is Lou Gehrig's con
secutive game record that carried
on for a matter of 14 years and more
than 2,000 contests. It will take a
stronger combination of steel and
concrete than we have ever seen so
far in one human system to pass
Lou Gehrig's mark. This must
stand among the incredible features
of sport.
Lou began his long march in 1929
and finally came to the end of his
career in 1939. The second untouch
able mark belongs to Babe Ruth and
his count of 60 home runs, piled up
in 1927.
There is another pretty fair hall
player by the name of Tyros Ray
mond Cobb wbo has to his credit
a different set of figures that no one
now living will ever see equaled.
This record includes a lifetime total
of 2,244 runs and 4,191 hits.
Jimmy Fozx and Hank Greenberg
almost caught up with Ruth's home
run accumulation of 60 in a season,
but no other ball player has even
come close to Cobb's double mark.
This same record also includes 892
stolen bases, well beyond Eddie Col
lins' turn of 744.
Cobb, Ruth and Gehrig, all Ameri
can Leaguers, complete the trio that
offers the toughest targets on the
batting side of the game. And when
vol I mention iVin ftaro oroaioct Kail
players pi all time, Cobb and Ruth
draw most of the votes although
Hahs Wagner still has a stout follow
ing that refuses to be shaken loose.
Mel Ott is the most redoubtable of
the National League record holders
at bat?and Mel is still under
way and increasing his lead. Mel
sets a record of some sort every
time he gets another hit or steps into
another home run?insofar as the
National League is concerned.
Stand-Out Pitchers
Walter Johnson, another American
Leaguer, is the pitcher that stands
out as the main all-time target to
knock over. But for all that even
Old Barney isn't so far in front of
Cy Young. In fact, looking a trifle
deeper into the matter, Young's
mark may outlive all others. It con
sists largely of these figures?games
pitched?906, games won?510. When
you figure that Walter Johnson is in
second place, 97 winning games
away at 413, you get a better idea
of Cy's miraculous contribution to
the art of piling up victories.
One of Johnson's top marks is the
count of 54 consecutive scoreless
innings, compiled in 1913. That
means something better than six
straight shutouts. For a eareer ran
Johnson also sets up two other tar
gets with 3,497 strikeouts and 113
shntouts, 33 beyond Grover Alexand
er's total.
But Old Pete must be drawn into
this select society with the pitching
he offered in 1910. That season,
working in Philadelphia's bandbox
ball park, where a looping fly was
ukuaIIv a hnmpr Alp*and#?r turnaH
in 16 shutouts?more shutouts in one
season than most pitchers can call
winning games.
The two marks o 1 IS consecutive
victories established by Tim Keefe
and Rube Marquard of the Giants,
form another elusive target that
many have fired at through the
years in vain.
There was no record ever set that
can't be broken. But those referred
to in these brief dispatches are
something more than records. They
are landmarks. Even peering into
the future, what batter is there to
pile up 4,191 base hits? Or what
pitcher can ever hope to win 516
games? Or what iron man can out
last Gehrig's 14 seasons of consecu
tive play? These are the three
toughest of them all to shatter or
drive away from the record pages.
For all three call not only tor ex
tremc skill but also for the amaz
ing stamina that few ever possess.
