Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE rs,ifod PreSS Staff CarreSn0nd

New York, April 17-(UP)-Every right thinking American who has ever thrown bottle at an umpire or abused a manager knows that today Is the opening of the baseball sea- son.
 Many of us fans won't be able to see a game because the teams are out of town, but think we would be less than patriotic if we let the day pass unnoticed and did not pay some sore of tribute to the National sport.
 Baseball is an integral part of our nation. If you don't believe it, ask the owner of any team. He will tell you that home plate means as much to our country as Plymouth Rock; that the Adamses, the Jeffer- sons, and the Hamiltons contributed no more to the fibre of this country than the Rube Waddals, the Bugs Raymonds. the Cletus Poffenber- gers; and that the eagle is no more our national bird than the bird" from the bleachers.
 So let us rally on this day, and, even though we cannot go to a game, observe fitting ceremonies. Upon arising from bed let us jump sharply to attention and, while sa- luting, say:
 T pledge allegiance to my team as long as 1t stays in the first division ''
 Then, let us have a breakfast of peanuts and our favorite soft drink The peanuts should not be fresh nor the soft drink cold. They should be gulped down while small members of your family walk back and forth across your feet. To get the true and proper baseball effect your chair should be placed behind post SC that you can't see the old familier wall across from you without a good deal of craning.
 Breakfast over, the next step in training for the baseball season is to practice umpire batting. If you are fortunately unfortunate enough to have an unwanted relative visit ing you, this is the person you should get to act as umpire. Think ing it only a game, the relative will not realize the utter satisfaction you are getting out of saying:
 You bum."
 "You thief. you!"
 fYou worthless, no good scoun- drel!"
 Get on out of here, you big cheatl"
 When lunchtime comes you shoule dine on a lukewarm dog. Not hot dog, mind you, because there never was such thing as hot dog served at a ball park. Smear on the luke. warm dog an inferior mustard sub. stitution, wrap this in a paper nap kin, and allow 1t to sit for a full hour. In the meantime drink a goot deal more soda pop and then eat tn dog, mustard, and most of the nap kin. which has become an integra part of the roll. I figured up onl! last year that during the baseball season I had eaten enough papel napkins to dry the hands of the en. tire Soviet army.
 The afternoon should be spent al

Sunshine Cleaners
Operating A "Still''

During the past week Sunshine Clean
ers added vacuum still to their well
equipped shop. This still is to play
a very important part in their business
this fall and winter when wooden clothes
will again be king.
This piece of machinery works on the
same principle as "still" used in the
manufacture of whiskey, Mr.. Rutledge.
manager of the Sunshine Cleaners
stated. All dirty solvent is pumped into
the still and heated by steam. AS the
solvent has a low boiling point, it is
soon reduced to vapor and passes up
and over into the condensing chamber.
where it passes through tubes around
which circulating water flows. This
vapor is then condensed to pure sol
vent. All the oil, fatty impurities, dirt
and other foreign matter washed from
the clothes are left in the container
where the old solvent was just vapor-
ized.
This machine cleans and purifies
solvent to such high degree that even
all new solvent is first distilled before
being used on clothes.
The Sunshine Cleaners invite yor
around to see this still in operation and
see for yourself just how much extra
care is made to give you the best in
cleaning fluids.
