 PATRICIA NASH, plum p, stubborn girl from Gulfport, Miss, didn't think Dizzy Deans blunders were so funny, so he married her
 T didn't need a manager, eith- err explains Dizzy. T already had two-one for the summer and special one for the winter"
 The problem of any rookie break ing into the Cardinals organization is to keep from getting lost in the crowd. Even Branch Hickey admits that many excellent players get away in the hustle.
 Hello Branch, or Boy!
 But there was little chance of Dizzy Dean getting lost in the crowd He was sent at the start of the l93O season to the St. Joseph, Mo, club, but before many days passed, Branch Hickey had cause to look up the record of Jerome Herman Dean.
 There was no record, but Dlz- zy took care of that. He marched out of a St. Joseph hotel one eve ming and didn't return. Several days later he was presented the bill, but he fumed and argued that there was mistake. T ain't been there in a week." he roared.
 The Cardinals paid this and several other bills contracted by Dizzy, and put black mark against his record Then they had cause to notice Dean for another reason He had won IT and lost only eight, so before the season was over the Cardinals had to take him out of St. Joseph and send him to the Houston club in the Texas league.
 It's a Cinch!
 He won eight more for Houston and lost only two and though the Cards were leading the National league race, they decided to take look at him anyway. So he was ordered to report to Manager Gab- by Street of the Cardinals inn mediately in New York. 1

Mueller meant it wien he said. Quit wearing my clothes; you're ruining them"
 Fifteen minutes before he was due to leave for New York, he was found shuffling along one of Hous- tons. main streets, laden with packages. Another player had been delegated to see that Dean gets on that train for New York sure" Dizzy explained that he had to get some clothes before he went to New York, admitted that it hadn't occurred to him that he could get shirts in New York.
 So in less than a season. he

At this time in his life, Dizzy Dean lived from shirt to shirt" When he was in St. Joseph, he bought one shirt, wore it until it was black, then threw it away and bought another one. He wore any thing he could get his hands on, which, of course, included his room- mates clothes. It so happened that his roommate in St. Joseph was Emmett Mueller, rookie infield- CT, six and one half inches short CT than Dizzy, and not until the little fellow shook a dangerous, 38- ounce bat in front of the great ones head did he understand that

went from the St. Joseph club. to the majors, and when the Cards had clinched the 1930 pennant, Manager Street decided to let Dlz- zy pitch a game just to see what he could do. He beat the Pitts burgh Pirates, giving them only a few hits.
 This victory brought his record for the entire year to 26 victories and 10 defeats. But the one vic- tory over the Pirates causes more trouble between Dizzy and the front office than any they have had since he joined the organiza- ton.
 He went about buying anything that appealed to him, signed hlsl name and directed the merchants, to sehd their bills to the Cardinals.
 Dean was called into the office, and Rickey and Breadon discovered they had a far different case on their hands than they had antici- pated. This boy actually believed that now that he was with, the Cards, all things would be free. When the bills were totalled up, he had spent almost his entire salary for the following year.
 Keey Your Eye on Him
 The Cardinals then put him in charge of Oliver French, who was business manager of the St. Joseph, Club and is now in the same po-' sition with the Greensboro, N. O.. club. French took him to his home in Charleston, Mo, and saw to 1t that he kept within the limits of the budget set for him by Hickey.
 Sent back to Houston in 1881, he returned with a bride, who really looks out for him and his finances. Jerome Herman Dean goes mo- where now without the spouse: she makes the road trips, the exhibi- tion games; sets the dates for his comings. So you need not worry about the $50,0O0 he will make between the last world series and the next. It will be controlled by the chancellor of the excheque-r.

TN the great surgical clinics today, you will find
many machines which have proved of immense
Importance in saving human life. First you will see
great batteries of stream Steriizers that destroy
germs on banoageS, linens. and Instruments
Instead of depending on just one anesthetc the
modern surgeon has a choice of ether nitrous oxide
oxygen, ethylene, and other anesthetc mixtures of
gases.
New types of machines have developed which ar
range and mix the material accurately and supply
them TO the surgical patient safely and regularly
There are eSpecially-built X-ray machines for use
in the operating room
In the performance of the surgical operation ma
chimes now are available which cut and seal the
tissues Of the body by of electric knife. There
are electrically driven saws, and machines which
make clips take the place of silk for stitching the
skin.
TN the physical therapeutic departments of the
hospital, more machines come to light. There are
devices which provide ultraviolet rays. Other ap-
paratus applies heat to the body by of electric
light, by burning of carbons with reectors and by
passing electric current through the tissues
Many hours would be required even to list de-
vices used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease
today. Their names are complicated and their uses
highly technical.

BY DAVID DIETZ

THE bright star-like object which comes over the
= eastern horizon each night about an hour after
sunset is the planet Jupiter. 1t is not the planet
Venus.
Venus is not in the evening sky but shines
in the morning sky. On Sunday Venus rose over
month it will be rising at $780, 1t fades from view
of course, when the sun rises.
But Jupiter, rising after sunset, is in view
throughout the entire night. Gradually it climbs
higher and higher into the sky BY midnight it
is almost overhead. Then it descends into the west
sky.
Jupiter is brighter than any of the stars and so
it is easy to find 1t is not, however brighter than
Venus. At its brightest, Venus may be fifty times
brighter than Jupiter.
have urged many times that readers get &C
quainted with the consultations Of the stars and
with the planets. Life is richer if you can identify
the consultations they come into view with the
seasons and you follow the wanderings of the
planets against the patterns of the consultations
1t is pity but nevertheless true, that many per-
sons do not know the fundamental distinction be-
tween star and planet even using the worzs as
though they were interchangeable.
THE stars are great glowing bodies like our sun,
l. some a little smaller, some thousands of times
larger. They are great globes of gaseous material
ranging in temperature from 300 to $4,000 degrees
The planets are small bodies like our own earth.
Our earth is planet. The sun is star. If you
remember these simple facts, you will never con-
fuse the two.
The planets all secondary bodies belonging
to one particular star. namely our sun They range
in size from Mercury which is 300 miles in di-
ameter to Jupiter which is $4,000 miles in diameter.
Because the planets revolving around the sun,
they appear to move against the background OF
stars. This fact noticed by the ancentS. The
name planet" comes from the Greek and means
"wander~r."
