VI
The team was joined today by
one Hensick, pitcher; relief
pitcher, they tell us. Gee whilli-
kens, we have millions of those
birds cluttering up the bench.
But let us not become oVer-pes-
simistic. If Hensick can really
get out there and stop those raj
lies short; if he can strike out a
batter when the occasion de-
mands nothing less than a strike
out, then everything will be all
right and the investment will be
well made.
Bromide Utterance
From time to time we hear the
bromide utterance:
''BIuege is a great ball player,
and if he could hit. 29O, he'd
never be out of the lineup"
Well, it looks as if Ossie will be
right at third base most of the
time. Off to disappointing start
this season, Bluege found himself.
His batting average since he aban-
doned the role of pinch hitter for
that of the regular player has
been pretty close to 800. To pin
the figures down tight, Bluege
has been hitting .292 and has
driven in 80 runs since he became
a regular player.
Red Kress, the man who was
counted out but wouldn't quit, still
holds the interest and sentiment
of baseball fans. The fans up this
way know the story as well as the
fans at home, and Red is the
popular kid in Boston just as he is
at home. There's something about
a guy who can fight that makes
the wide world love him.
One double-header marks the
stay here in Boston to be played
tomorrow. In Cleveland we have
weekend bargain bills on August
II and 18.

For instance, there was a
donkey baseball game at
Griffith Stadium Thursday

slow train from Arkansas

Having watched the Washing

games so far this season, I
couldn't imagine that donkey
baseball would be any particular
innovation at our ball park, but,

Of course, there is sixth place just ahead,

for excitement and even less cause for

Education Helps To
Rout Disease Fears
Dissemination of Information Used Since 1878;
Health Classes in Schools Prove Valuable

y, Education of the public through
has been one of the greatest wea-
pons used by health authorities
10 rout fear, ignorance and SUPER
stition concerning disease, and to
bring about widespread improve
nent in public health and disease
prevention, since the days of the
first meeting of the Connecticut
State Board of Health in 1878, it
was stated by Elizabeth c. Nicker-
son, director of the Bureau of Pub
Ito Health Instruction of the State
Department of Health, in the sew
enth of the departments series Of
Tercentenary broadcasts today.
At that first meeting, the pres
ldent of the board said: Gentle
men, there Is such a remarkable
ignorance even among the more
intelligent classes of the commun-
lily in regard to the general laws
Of hygiene, that 1t becomes the
first duty of the State Board of
Health to take measures to en-
tighten the public mind not only
upon some of the main principles
but upon not few of the details
of public hygiene or state preven-
tive medicine" Since that day
steady barrage of regular and spea
cial bulletins, sent to local leaders
with the understanding that they
would keep their communities in
formed, has been maintained by
state health authorities, Miss Nick
erson declared. '4
BY this method, there have been
Blasted such fallacious ideas as
those that windows must be kept

gas was to be feared. that tuber-
culosis was hereditary. that Con-
necticut has always kept pace with
tho accepted practices in disease
prevention and promotion of
health. Health truths are not
spread by the ''over the back
fence" method, which is the great
est handicap to health progress in
any community.
Today health information is pro-
perly disseminated through many
channels, Miss Nickerson explained.

worth. Walter was so pleased
he nearly kissed them in his
gratitude at their almost VIC
lent appreciation. Only Helen
was uneasy. Nothing that they
said could she possibly have
taken exception to. Even their
manner was friendly; too
friendly. Behind their appro-
baton she felt surprise-Sur-
prise that she could have found
this tasteful apartment.
Their enthusiasm always
modified by such condescending
phrases as quite attractive"
real sweet" and that devastat-
ingly condescending word nice"
Helen squirned inwardly, but
Walter was so completely i'm
pervious to any hidden animosity
or unfriendlineSS in their rap
turous praise that Helen began
to think that it was she who
was supersensitive and over
critical and they who were cor.
dial and friendly.

had suggested she buy that

After they had gone, Walter
caught Helen in his arms and

apartment.

ulted. Lord, I never thought
anyone could be as happy as I
am. You're perfect; You're

Everyone likes you and L" he

would adore you if everyone else
didn't. But I'm glad they do"
Unconsciously using their
phrase, Helen said, They were
quite friendly"
"I'll say" Walter beamed.
you'll learn to love them after
a while. After all, they are my
sisters and my mother and I
owe so much to them. Even
though that first night was
pretty terrible. you see how
they've learned to love you?
What fools we were not to have
married sooner. We built up a
perfect wall Of fear that never
existed except in our own
minds"
Eyes, didn't we?" Helen
agreed, but she couldn't for the
life of her share his warmth.

nice, too"

Marian Craley was a slim racy
little woman whose large brown
eyes were out of all proportion
to her face. She had a singy,
breezy manner not unlike the
girls in Anastasia's Forty-fourth
Street. Helen felt perfectly at
ease with her until Irene later
told her that Marian Craley was
Q graduate of Miss Chapin's
School and had studied abroad.
"She's very snobbish," Irene
concluded.
"Oh, I don't think so, Irene.
She's lovely"
Perhaps she doesn't know
you were a manicurist," Irene
suggested silkiIy. She looked
swiftly about. No one was within
earshot. You know, my dear,
you mustn't make the mistake
Of pushing yourself among these
people. OF course, as Walters
wife you have a certain position
to maintain but you must be
careful not to be too presum.

BY the end Of the week Helen
was established in the apart

so large and roomy. There was

bath, real kitchen and several
yards of pantry and closets. The
furniture was well worn and
comfortable and Helen couldn't

Helen tried to avoid meeting
Marian but Marian called her
up and invited her to lunch with
her and invited them up for
cards and drinks in the evening.
And it was Marian who found
Helen a maid and gave her val
liable tips on laundries, grocerS,
and the address of their own
bootlegger. But Helen was no
longer comfortable with Marian.
The poisonous seed that Irene
had planted in Helen's con-
sciouSness had begun to have it's
paralyzing effect on Helen and
she was nervous and i'll at ease.
The Rileys were amazed at the
CELEBRITY with which Helen and
Walter got settled in their new
home. Now that the time limit
Walter had set was past, they
were eager to see how Walter
and Helen had established them
selves. On the second day after
Helen had unpacked and stocked
