we let them go. We enlisted the
aid Of some fine seamstresses, them
selves poverty stricken, to help us.
But as soon as we copied any
thing we found an immediate market
for the copy. American sightseers
kept us going in those first hard
days. Soon I realized we need not
sell the collection, but keep it and
sell the copies.

each woman works best at what she

try to consult every womans taste

Impoverished by War

1t is the history Of fine handwork
and of tapestries that they are done
by a conquered people, according to
Miss Lansberger. Even in the days
of Gobelins, it was the conquered
who created tangible beauty for the
visitors.
Our friends, who knew Of our
venture, and who wanted an oppor-
tunity to make money in any way,
begged us for an opportunity to
come and do what they could. We
all learned to sew together. And
women who had never mended a
stocking found themselves conqeur-
ing the needle. Fine sewing isn't a
gift. Yon can learn it just as you
can stenography or bookkeeping"
400 Now Employed
AS the titled ladies speeded up
their work, and more Americans
came around sightseeing, the enter
prise showed amazing vitality. Now
1t gives employment to 400 women,
over half of whom are titled. Most
of them work in their homes, but
none put in less than six hours a
day.
However. the enterprise is sup
ported almost entirely by Americans
and it was because of the magnitude
the business is assuming that Miss
Lansberger is now making her first
visit to this country-studying us at
close range.
Miss Lansberger has developed
from society girl into a business
woman without losing any of her
social graces. And she has retained
her close personal contact with her
employees, who are her friends as
we'll.
Miss Lansberger heads an enter
prise which is the direct result of
economic pressure. She and her
sister were reared in luxury and in

women who have never worked to

Alex Tells Secrets
 Of Pitching Success
Alex Emphasizes Control of Ball
 Even in Warming Up 10 Pitch

 All pitchers are not born alike. That is. nature does not give them arms that will throw everything un- der the sun. Unless nature has been unusually generous. as in my case, my advice is to work with fast ball. curve. add a slow twister and then go out 10 master control. That's enough to become major Ieaguer Don't forget control, however.
 My assortment consists Of a fast ball, Q curve, a screw ball, a knuCk- Ter. side arm and over-h hand. l have never taxed my mus cles with anything I throw.
 Don't experiment with something the arm is not fitted for. You mo- tice l have never gone in for the spithall.
 Control, as has been preached by managers and coaches for years. is not splitting the center of the plate. It is putting the ball where you aim. Keep it away from the groove , Of the hitter and l assure you more than half of your battle has been won.
 A slow ball Is essential. We have young pitcher on our club who is going 10 become q marvel as soon { as he gets control Of slow one. He l is Flint Rhem. l never saw youn- stcr with SO much natural stuff. ! A slow ball is the thing to throw those fellows up at the plate off ! their stride-unless, Of course. We mention such pitchers as Walter Johnson. Ed Reulbach, Joe Wood. l Cy Young, Jack Powell and other smoke ball wizards.
 1 But how many successful fast ] ball pitchers have we had beside the ones l have mentioned Mighty few.
 1 Once control is mastered, 1t will stick with you. I'll retain it when my other stuff has disappeared. Control can be acquired. Ability 10 throw the ball where you want to is the result of hours of work and concentration,
 A mistake most pitchers make Is ! faulty preparation as they warm up 10 pitch a game. A majority do it in haphazard manner. which ] loosens the muscles but doesn't in any way help control
 When I am selected to pitch against a certain team give though, 10 the dangerous hatters on the club as l do my preliminary pitching be- fore the start of the game. Gsuall! there are four or five batters on
 every club on whom | pitcher must work carefully.

 dozen consecutive low curves, trying
 10 keep the ball at the knee. l sc down the lino in this manner SO in stead Of merely throwing the ball tC my catcher, thereby loosening mp thc
 muscles, I am really pitching to tho
