Suit Is Adding Insult
To Tebbetts' Injury
BY JOHN LARDNER,
enecial Correspondent of The Star

DETROIT. Oct, 5 (N.AN.AD.-
When YOU watch Mr.. Birdie Teb-
belts perform in this World Series,
remember that he is fellow with
something on his mind. Mr. Teb-
belts is. the central character in the
sensational case of who flung the
crate of tomatoes and bottles with
malice aforethought in status quo.
Practically every day in this World
Series Mr. Tehbetts crouches behini
the plate and catches to the best
of his ability The best of his ability
is very good, The pitchers like to
throw to Mr.. Tebbetts, He is smart
and agile by disposition But the
pitchers all agree that life is tough
for Mr.. Tebbetts this week and
they do not blame him if he calls
for a fast one now and then when
a curve might be made to order.
After all, his mind is bound 10 be
occupied up to Is per cent with the
case of who flung the crate OF to-
matoes and bottles.
J. Edgar Hoover is hot on the
trail in this case. Sherlock Holmes
has broken his violin across his
knee, put his cocaine away in the
medicine chest and is concentrating
on nothing else It's not often that
you find a World Series catcher de-
Tending a lawsuit and catching
Schoolboy Rowe at one and the
same time.

Birdie Is Not Certain
What Crote Contained

You probably recall tnat IN tne
crucial Detroit Cleveland series last
week, when the Tigers won the
American League pennant, feeling
ran high, way up in the soprano
register.
Mr.. Tebbetts was in the bull pen
at Cleveland and a citizen OF that
hospitable hamlet, reasoning that
no good could come Of TebbettS
alive. sought to adjust this detail
by dropping crate upon BRIDES
busy noodle from seat just above
the bull pen
He reached the green with his tee
shot. In other words, the crate con-
tacted Mr.. Tebbetts and the citizen
evaporated in the direction of the
city hall. where he no doubt planned
to put himself in nomination for
President.
There is some question as to what
the crate contained. l have talked
to several eyeWitneSses, and also
have heard Mr. Tebbetts on the
subject MI Tebbetts says he does
not know, though he suspects the
missile contained consignment OF
rare old Cleveland scrap iron. In
the language of love (see j. B. Fol-
lansbee, What the Flowers Mean"

mount to a proposal of marriage.

If you believe the eyewitnesses,

CD. Miscellaneous glassware.
The crux of the matter occurred
when the police, having collared
gentleman whom they suspected OF
this and that in their enthusiastic
way, led him up to Mr.. Tebbetts.
Seized by a fit of generous choler,
Mr.. Tebbetts is said to have wound
up and let the stooge have it where
Jenny wore the pearls.

Manners
of the
Moment

Two executives at the head of the
same outfit don't always collaborate
perfectly. There's usually a slip
somewhere between what daddy
says and what mummy says.
But when dad slides out of such
unpleasant tasks as making the
children go to bed on time, on the
grounds that the home is mummy's
domain, he's really being mean to
mummy. 1t builds her up into some
sort of ogre.
My idea would be to have parents
take turn about weeks at being fam
lily executives. On Monday morn
ing the family would be told that
this is daddy's week, or mummy's
week, and all momentous decisions
were to be turned over accordingly.
The same might go for couples
without children who must decide
what movies are to be seen, what
social engagements accepted, what
meals to be eaten out. One week
husband takes over, the next week
decisions are up to the wife.
No fuss. No argument. (Well,
maybe you could have Just little

Care of Nails
TOP Prevent
Breaking
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Finger-wise beauties are more
conscious of smooth cuticle and long
sturdy nails. In spring, especially
II you live where winters are long
and cold, the essential oils so neces-
sary to the softness and pliancy Of
nails are sorely lacking. Your cuti-
cles are likely to become ragged as
they too become dry. Your nails split
or break because they are brittle.
Obviously external treatment is
needed. II you will follow these tips
for finger r-tip charm your nail pro-
blems will be corrected and your
hands will look nicely groomed:
File nails toward center. Don't
file down at corners and never,
never cut corners. It weakens the
nails support and they are apt to
split.
TRY not to cut the cuticle. Dip
cotton tipped orange stick into a
cuticle-remover solution and work
it around the ragged skin. Never
use scissors, as cutting the cuticle
creates pesky hangnails. If the solu-
ton does not remove the ragged skin
use nippers expertly-nipping on
only the ragged part-never touch
ing the flesh.
3-To mend split nail cover 1t
with colorless tape and apply deep,
opaque polish over 1t until 1t has
grown out.
Apply a protective, colorless
nail base before your polish. Also
apply it over your polish (when 1t
has dried thoroughly and bring
it down over and under the nail
tip. This gives added support and
makes 1t tougher.
apply polish using 1t not too
freely. Better two coats than one
runny coat! Keep your hand steady
and have moons and white tips
even.
6-After polish has dried we'll
the hand treatment. Apply little
of nail grooming oil to each nail
and massage 1t carefully around the
cuticle. Then cover hands and wrists
with q rich hand cream and slip on
cotton gloves to steam in the oils
while you read, make phone calls,
or rest. Both oil and cream should
remain on your hands at least one
half hour. It is good to apply both
just before going to bed and sleep
with the gloves on.
7HRemember to anoint your
hands with q lotion or cream each
time after washing them. Keep up
this practice until the hot weather
sets in and your hands will be
smooth, soft and your cuticles will
be ruly.
8-Once every week or ten days
when you have Q free hour
heat some olive oil, or cuticle oil
Saturate some flannel strips with II
and wrap them around your hands
and fingers. Wear loose fingered
| gloves over Ill for an hour. Remove
and wash in warm suds, dry well
and then anoint with . bit Of
quickly absorbed hand lotion.

Dear Miss Dix-Why do parents
wait until they die to help their
children financially? My father
and mother are devoted to us, and
they are more than well of, so
that they would not miss any money
that they might give us and it Is
hard to understand why they don't
do something to ease our burden
when they see the desperate straits
we are in. We have done the best
we could. We have worked hard,
but we have had SO many reverses
and so much sickness that we are
losing heart. A gift from them
would make new people Of us. They
cannot help but see how shabby our
clothes are, how wornout is our
furniture, how badly in need Of re-
pairs our house is. Why do they
not give us little money that
would be such a help now when we
need it so very much, instead Of
waiting to leave it all to us when
they die and when. perhaps, we
will not need it at all? A. A.
Answer-The alibi that parents
offer for not helping their children
get a start in life Is that 1t is good

they cannot have, or should not
have. sand parents will have to saw
no and mean it. Parents will have
to be strong enough to stand by
their duty to the child and let him
cry 1t out-in the privacy of his own
room.
When a child learns, by expert
ence, that obedience to his parents
wish brings him safety and happi-
ness and some degree of comfort, he
will stop crying. Until then, let
him cry and harden your heart.
