step from a She.ass to a woman"
When any man gets tired of having
the women around, and the children
and the complicated trappings of
modern family life, he sometimes asks
himself if he would not be better off if
he could just rid himself of the whole
outfit. This is exactly the attitude of
the monks of Athos, and here is the
way it works, according to the one
woman who has lived among them:-
They lead lazy life. They never
perspire. They never bathe, or pare
their nails or comb their hair. They
eat half cooked food. They live in
the dirt with cooties-and scratch.
Now if the men who read this
would like to live like that, the sen.
sible course is for them to join the
monks at Mt. Athos. But before do.

DAN HOWLEY
HAS WEAK
MATERIAL
BY E. C. HALIFAX

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April
2.-Most anything but path OF
velvet will confront the Cincinnati
Reds when they launch their 1881
campaign in the National League.
It will be a surprise to the ex,
perts if the Howley clan makes a
better showing this season than
it did in 1880. The Reds won SO
times in 154 championship games
last year and terminated play
next to the cellar.
Dan Howley, the lion-hearted
leader of the Red band. is still
in the constructing stage Of his
tearing down to build up" pro
gram. He knows it is more diff
cult to build than to wreck and
therefore will make no promises
for the coming season. Physically
the team, barring natural conse-
quences of strenuous training, is
in good condition.
haETy f1CtAnNdHH AIS
Manager Howley is fairly salts
fled with his infield. pitching
and hurting staffs. It's the out
field that's a fly in the ointment
for Dan. He signed six garden
ers with the idea of keeping five,
but a serious blow was struck
when Harry Heilmann. slugging
right field man, was taken down
with arthritis In his quest for
young team, Howley handed
Curt Walker walking papers.
This act drew criticism
a-plenty, because Curt whacked
the apple at a 800 clip last
season. The Texan most likely
would be shelter in the rain
storm now. Heilmann may be
out for the entire season or
even permanently.
Howley planned to use the big
boy as fixture in right field this
season with the offense built
around him and his big bat. Now
1t appears Wally Roettger, &C.
quired from the Giants. is the
only certainty for the outer pas
lures.
Left Field Open
Left field is open for Estel
Crabtree, who was recalled from
Columbus, Ray Fitzgerald, Sc
cured from the Giants, or Gene
Moore. Howley figured to use
Nick Cullop in right, but Nick to
date has not lived up to his
reputation as a slugger.
Cullop will be given every
chance in the world to come
through. He has been nursing
a sore arm.
Bright spots have been the work
of Frank SigafooS, recruit in
fielder, and the return of the vet
eran Horace Ford to the fold.
Ford will be in utility holes this
season and is a good man to have
around. He held out for a while,
but decided that the ice cream
business can wait while.
Infield Is Intact
With Mickey Heath, former Pa
cific Coast star, at first; Tony
Cuccinello at second; Durocher, a
great fielder, at short, and Joe
Strip on third, the infield ap-
pears intact. Lena Styles and
Bob johnson are Second-string
catchers, with Clyde Sukeforth
slated for regular duty.
On the hurting staff Howley
has Larry Benton, Archie Camp

Wysong. John Ogden and Ed

ON RIVALS

Stories from Florida quote Babe
Ruth as looking for some bat
ting surprises this year. The
Babe is willing to back his
opinion with cash as he did in
1929, when he bet Wiley Moore,
the Sinker pitcher now with the
Red Sox, that he would not
make three hits all season.
"MOOre won easily and Babe
sent him a pair of mules, one
of which Wiley named Babe
and the other Ruth.
Babe is on record as saying
that:
Berger will not hit 800.
Fozz will not hit 800.
Mickey Cochrane will not hit
800.
Whether the Babe was baSing
his opinion on the new ball or
more effective pitching he would
not say. But he offered to make
a little wager with his friends

Philly Reacts to May 1 Drive

With increasing mass circulation
attained in the drive for $4,000 read
ers, it is necessary for the Daily
Worker to run on a solid foundation
financially. Financial methods in
force with a circulation of $4,000 are
ruinous with a circulation of $4,000,
It is for this reason that we can
no longer extend credit to those sub
scribers who are past due in their
accounts. Despite the fact that the
condition of the subscription list is
better than ever before in proper
ton to the subs paid in advance and
subs overdue, the additional costs for
running the present number of
papers make it impossible for lis to
carry the overdue subscriptions on
