wasn't wasted, however, for with
Buddy Myer perched on second
base and the Mats trailing 81, he
rammed a ball high off the score
board in right field and beat it out
for Washington second home run
OF the year
Buddy had arrived at second
through the medium of a walk and
Charley Gelbert's inf1eld out, and
when Esty lugged his .143 batting
average to the plate the more skep-
tical customers started toward the
exits. Estalella provided the fic-
ton finish with head-first slide
to the plate, barely beating the
throw to Catcher Rudy York.
Estalella today was destined tc
decorate the bench, what with
Cleveland employing a right-hand
hurler, but his prospects of remain
ing with the Mats have been buoyed
by that clouC.
The Tigers had manufactured
their runs in the second inning,
when Beau Bell blasted a triple off
the center field barrier to score
York, who had walked Bell then
scored on Pinky Higgins infield out,
and not until the fifth did the Mats
reduce that margin to 21.
That was when Angelo Giuliani
singled to left, moved to second on
Charley Gehringer's tumble of Car
rasquel's grounder, to third or
George Cases sacrifice and across
after Buddy Lewis flied deep to
Barnel McCosky.
McKain Hurls Brilliantly.
Meanwhile Calrasquel was dispos-
ing of the Tigers in effective fash
ton, yielding only two hits in the
last five innings and retiring in
order the last II men to face him
but Archie McKain also was chuck
ing some sizzling ball for Detroit.
McKain held the Mats to four
singles in the eight innings he
labored, being aided considerably by
spectacular fielding contributions by
Higgins. who twice robbed Colbert
of hits. and Dixie Walker, who made
a neat over-the shoulder running
catch of Taft Wright's deep drive
In the sixth. Harry Eisenstat re-
placed the tired McKain in the
ninth and was debited with the
defeat.
A Washington scoring opportunity
perished in the first inning, when
Case singled sharply to left. ad-
vanced to second on Lewis infield
out and to third on his eleventh
stolen base OF the season. He was
STRANDED when Jimmy Wasdell
fouled to York and Wright flied to
Walker.
Shortstop Cecil Travis was given
. day OF rest by Harris but was to
bs at his regular post today, which,
incidentally, was to be the first
ladies day of the season here.

 It is hard to put your finger on any one with glossier prospects of Rooseveltian favor. In the face of the known hostility of Post master General Farley of Secre- tary Ickes, and number of others who have the Presidents ear. the President has conferred outstand- ing favors upon McNutt.
 He gave him an opportunity to get closeup of our No. l diplo- matic problem, the Orient, by ap- pointing him High Commissioner of the Philippines. Then he hauled him back home to put him in charge of the Federal Security administration which harbors the social welfare dearest to the Presi- dents heart, such as the social security and old age programs. It is no wonder then that he becomes the target of Secretary Ickes, as volunteer spokesman for those in the Adpinistration who think Me- Mutt would. be very bottom side-up choice for the President to make.

Henry c. Dalton, Silent Iron king,' Millionaire, Is Dead;
 Sfaried as Shipping Clerk

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 28. - Henry G. Dalton. IT. millionaire, Chairman of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company and head of the Nations largest iron ore ship ping firm, died here late yester- day.
 Dalton, at one time a shipping clerk, was leader in the spectacu- lar fight in 193O in an attempt to merge the Youngstown firm with Bethlehem Steel.
 Dalton was as reticent publicly as the Authenticated mines, ships and steel mills were clamorous.
 Silent Iron King"
 His fellow Clevelanders termed him the silent iron king" When he received a chamber of commerce public service medal in 1888, Dal- tons words of thanks numbered "A.
 He rose to business dominance from job at 16 checking freight on the Lake Erie city's ore docks. As a director of both Bethlehem Steel Corporation and Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company in 1880, Dalton was a leader in the at- tempt to weld these giant produc- CTS. Cyrus s. Eaton, another self effacing Clevelander who had just formed Republic Steel Corporation, blocked the merger after a spec tacular court battle.
 In Key Positions
 While Dalton, calm, polite man of medium build and height, was perhaps best known for his part in the merger dispute, he held key positions in the industry for many years. He resigned his Bethlehem directorship in 1881 but on Febru- ary 6, 1892, became chairman of Youngstown Sheet and Tube Com pany, the fourth largest indepen- dent producer.
 Office Boy to Partner
 Dalton was only 20 when in 1883 he left the docks to become office boy for Pickands, Mather and Com pany Ten years later he became partner and commanded the Cleve- land firm after Samuel Mather's death in 1881
 Pickands, Mather and Company mined, shipped and sold ore and coal; manufactured pig iron, hauled on commission, handled ore mining properties for steel concerns and managed boats and docks on the Great Lakes. It did most of it's business with the two steel giants Dalton sought to unite
 Millions at Stake

 Just now that has political im- portance.
 The Gridiron members are men of a special stripe. With few exceptions they are seniors among the press corps, bureau chiefs, or special writers of long Washing ton experience with large or spec ial following. Among them are many who have access to the heaven where Democratic prayers are answered

That practical materials and

to do with the chic of q costume.
Again and again we find costumes
has been effectively brought out
at most of the Fashion showings
recent. Again and again we find
costumes designed to fill more than
one need, and some transformed
altogether by whising off a skirt
or changing from dark to light ac-
c~essories. One very interesting en-
semble in this category is the

costume with real utility value, and
is fashioned, the designers tell us,
"to tame the daily knocks of sight
seeing at the worlds fair"

too closely if your hands do not
correspond to those of the pictured
model. Extremely long, bright
hued nails are all very well on the
models hand but then her fortune is
in her hands and she probably uses
them for little else than posing.
But for busy housewives and hard
working girls such nails are imprac-
tical. 1t Is virtually impossible to
keep long tapering nails in condi-
ton, while washing dishes, busting,
tipping. filing, etc. 1t is far better
to have your nails short and we'll
groomed than long and cracked.
Color Combinations Important
And give a little thought to the
color combinations when you select
your polish. Startling polishes are
not for the fat wide hand. They
merely call attention to the stubbi-
ness of the hand and nail. If your
hands are not all that you would
like them to be, limit your polishes
to the paler shades.
Above all, don't be ashamed oil
your hands just because they are
not the long, unlined hands of the
models. Your character shows in
your hands and anyone would
prefer to be judged a useful member
of society than a china doll. Keep
your hands clean, well-groomed and
natural looking (and don't forget to
apply hand lotion after each wash.
