THE HAPPY HOUSEWIFE

Four walls can make g house, but it takes a woman to make home. The woman who prepares nour-
 ishing and attractive meals, does her
 housework without grumbling, rais-
 es a family of healthy boys and
 girls and still finds time to be a pal to her husband and a friend to
 her neighbors. is accomplishing the biggest job in the world. Homes like hers-little havens of peace and .love-are the bulwark of the nation. To be a successful homemaker, a
 woman must guard her health. When mother is not we'll, the home is upset. Women everywhere are learning through their own personal experiences. the merit Of Lydia E.

NEW BUFFALO BOSSES
START BALL rolling

HOUSTON. Tex. Jan. 5.-CP)--
Houston's new has, ball policies were
discussed at length today by President
Fred Ankenman and Manager Joe
Mathcs. Mathcs reached Houston last
night. 1t was his original intention to
so to Beaumont Tuesday for hunting
trip, but an early look at the threaten
ing weather caused him to change his
mind.
One result of the discussion was
resolve to ordcr mobilization of Hous-
ton battery men at West End park
March 1. or five days in advance of the
other athletes. The plan was TO sound
the spring baseball rcvcille March )
for all hand. The alteration in plans
was more or less inspired by the fact
that the Buffs' first exhibition game
March l. is with the 81. Louis Cardi-
nails. The series is for three days.
1t will be one of the oldest ever
staged in baseball. Nine of the oppo-
sition players will be men who former
ly wore the uniform of the club against
which they will be engaged. Manager
Rogers Hornsby himself will be on the
bench. His opening day lineup against
Houston will be:
Ernie Wick. catcher; Arthur Rein
hart. pitcher; Jim Bottomlcy. first !;
Eddie Dyer, second: Ray Blades,
short; Lester Bell, third; Homer Peel,
Chick Haley and Ecine Mueller out
ficlders.
In order to retain an all-Houston
lineup against the Bluffs in 50 early Il
game it may be necessary for Dyer and
Rcinhart to swap positions after the
fourth or fifth inning. In case of Il
breakdown in any spot, Hornsby will
be forced to call upon men who have
not worn the local costume.

FASTER VALLEY
BALL LEAGUE
PROMISED
Grandstands, New Jumps
Some improvements
Trent Plans.

SAN BENITO, Jan. 5.-That the
Valley will have one Of the fastest and
best baseball leagues in it's history the
coming summer is the opinion Of Presi-
dent Guy Trent, Of San Benito.
Mr.. Trent intends, in the next few
days, to issue a call for a Valley
League meeting to be held probably
in San Benito, for the formation of a
six or eight-club circuit. In his call
Mr.. Trent says he will invite every
town in the Valley to send one or
more delegates to the meeting.
Several towns have already ex-
pressed their intention OF entering the
league. Among them Edinburg, Wes-
laco, Mission, San Benito and Harlin-
gen.
PUT UP GRANDSTANDS.
Poor playing fields, parks and the
like were n handicap to several teams
last summer. San Benito had the only
real park in the league. Brownsville
has a fair playing field, but lacks a
good grandstand. Harlingen's playing
field, which was at the fair grounds,
was not good.
This year, Mr.. Trent says, every
town in the league will put up a
grandstand, and enclose the playing
field with a board fence.
There is some sentiment in the Val
ley-and it probably will be voiced at
the meeting-for the formation Of a
Glass ID league in the Valley, taking
in Corpus Christi, Kingsville and four
clubs in the Valley.
GOOD UMPS NEEDED.
The schedule could be easily ar
ranged, in the opinion of Mr.. Trent,
but whether the towns are large
enough to support professional ball is
questionable, he says.
"We learned something last sum-
mer, and are going to correct the mis-
takes we made" said Mr.. Trent. "One
thing VIC are going to insist upon is
capable bunch of umpires."
1t is. probable that an umpire of
professional experience will be en-
gagged TO take charge of the officiating,
and the responsibility of gathering to-
gether capable umpires will be put on
him.
