MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
Night.ProwIing Husbands
BY Helen Rowland.

LIVERY married woman's heart

Gently applied for a divorce. be-
cause her husband wouldn't put
out the light and go to sleep
nights.
Only a woman who has blinked
her life away beside a night
prowler knows what refined
cruelty in it's more ingenious and
intensive form is like.
Whether a man inherits this
ight-prowling instinct from some
of his prehistoric ancestors. or
acquires it from never going to
bed during his bachelor days. no
woman knows. But it is the
domestic third degree" through
which wives out of 10 are put
every night from the wedding
day to the grave.
1t is the main cause of twin
beds, companionate marriages,
misunderstanding and most Of the
travel to Reno.
IT is the secret sorrow Whlch
has caused many a devoted little
wife to spend a lot Of time won
dering wistfully what a divorce
would cost.
A man can think of more things
that he wants to read. eat, say
or do after 10 p. m. than in all
the rest of the day put together.
He may doze off in his arm
chair Immediately after dinner
and remain in a state of semi
coma all through the sprightly
home evening" But at the
stroke of 10, when his wife's eye
lids begin to droop and he hears
her winding the clock. he is a
perfect little Bright Eyes and as
full of playfulness as kitten.
Many a man who is "too tired
to eat a mouthful" at dinner
time develops a fine, healthy APP
petite around midnight and in
Sists on going out and raiding
the icebox or cooking himself
hearty supper.
Many a man has acquired his
whole acquaintance with the clas-
sizes at the expense of his wife's
beauty sleep ANY girl who can't
sleep with a bed light shining in
her eyes had better be wary OF
marrying the man who brags that
he reads himself to sleep every
night.
Where DID men get this ata-
vistic habit of prowling around
the place all night?
Apparently the average man can
never go to sleep until he is con.
WINGED that his wife has reached
that stage of nervous tension
where she won't De able to close
her eyes for the rest of the night.
Then he can roll right over and
drop off into a sweet symphonic
slumber that will last until long
after the alarm clock has gone
off.

To gain the finals the New Workers
defeated the. team representing the
| tiny town of Lisbon, Me-, 6 to 4. 1t
| was a well-earned and well-deseryed
victory, but the calibre of play in
the finals lacked the class the same
youths exhibited in earlier games.
Taken all in all. however. it was
| good tourney and there were some
outstanding players performing in
it. In fact, there were enough
players of class in 1t to pick a star
team that would be a honey.
Naturally the glamour of the spot
| light focuses on the winning team.
Naturally that team would be sup
posed to have the plethora of indi-
vidual stars. And just as naturally
their pitcher would be the outstand-
ing star, for in kid teams the nine
| is built around the curver nine times
out OF ten. Well such Is just the
case with Buffalo and Mike Joyce,
| their captain is chosen as the myth
! cal teams captain and pitcher. The
complete team follows:
Elcil, Lisbon Falls, catcher:
YasckO, Lisbon Falls, and Joyce,
Buffalo, pitchers; Henderson,
AsheVilie, first base; COOmbs,
Lisbon Falls, second base; Crack
Ovitch, UniOntOwn, third base;
Ford, Buffalo, ShOrtstOp; Pfeif-
fed, Louisville, left field; WOii.
kOwiak, Buffalo, center field, and
Good, Atlanta, right field.
Such a team represents ideal Of
A. zfs-
edge hurling is insured from both
Yascko and Joyce. And in ElciK
they have a dandy receiver, a youth
who not only could hold them up
but also do his part in keeping
base runners hugging the sacks.
During the two games Elcik caught
he cut down four or five wOuld-be
base stealers with his rifle arm and
otherwise conducted himself like a
real catcher. Joe Smith, Of Buffalo, Is
q better hitter, but lacks Elcik's
class behind the bat.
In the infield there is plenty Of
steadiness. In fact, 1t was this
quality that prompted the choice Of
Coombs at second and Ford at
shortstop. Henderson, lanky Ashe.
Vile southpaw, had little chance to
demonstrate his class as a first
sacker because his team was elimi.
mated in its first game. But he was
a shade better than anyone else at
the initial corner excepting Wojiko-
WAX, who is placed in center field.
What goes for Henderson also ap-
plies to Crackovich, crack Union
town third sacker. Like Henderson,
he can hit anything and fields re-
markably well.
/ Good and Pfeiffer looked like the
best outfielders. Both can hit and
both can cover plenty of ground in
the far reaches. Each also is EN-
powered with great arm and their
fast fielding and accurate throwing
cut down several apparent doubles
to singles. Wojikowiak. Buffalo's s
Individual hero, is placed in center
| field with the full knowledge that
he could handle the assignment bet
| ter than anyone else.
In speaking Of Wojikowiak
too much praise can not be
given this youth. During tho
first two games he covered first
base in wonderful fashion.
Then yesterday with his team
hard put for pitchers he tOOk
the mound and hurled and
batted his team ta victory.
