Games Behind
To Play
WI Pct.
Brooklyn SO SO $40 3
st. Louis So 81 GAO ~ 3


After their games today both
clubs will be idle tomorrow.
Then the Dodgers will 60 home
to Brooklyn to wrap up their
prize with two final games
against the poor and harmless
Phillies while the Cardinals
spend Saturday and Sunday at
Chicago.
If both Clubs win today.
Brooklyn can clinch the cham
pionship by beating Philadelphia
Saturday, no matter what the
Cards do.
RIVALS BOTH WIN
Both of the rivals won yester-
day-the Brooks AZ at Boston
and the Redbirds 40 at Pitts
burgh.
It was Dixie Walkers 31st
birthday and he celebrated by
slamming out a triple with the
bases loaded in the seventh inn
ing to bring Brooklyn roaring
from behind.
Up till that time Kirby Higbe's
chances of attaining his 22nd
victory had looked gloomy. Two
singles and two costly errors by
Peewee Reese and Cookie Lava
getto had given the Braves a pair
of unearned runs, lead which
big Jim Tobin sought nobly to
protect. In the seventh, how
ever, Joe Medwick beat out q
hit, Reese singled and Pinchhit-
ter Lew Riggs loaded the bases
when a force play on his ground
er failed.
WALKER POUNDS ONE
Then up strobe Walker, who
hadn't made a hit all day. Left
fielder Max West edged in close
behind his shortstop hoping
Walker would lift a little bloop-
er as he had in the third inning.
Instead Walker rifled q liner
over Vests head to clean the
bases. That was the ball game,
although the Dodgers added an
other run in the next inning for
good measure.
Harry Gumbert scattered six
singles as the Cards shut out the
Pirates and earned his sixth
straight victory. But it was a
hopeless, if masterful, perform
ance because the point has been
reached where triumphs mean
nothing to st. Louis unless the
Dodgers are beaten.
SETTLE OTHER
POSITIONS
The remaining positions in the
National League were finally
settled in the other games. Gin
cinnati clinched third place as
Bucky Walters pitched a six-hit,
2-6-shutout against the Chicago
Cubs, although the Reds them
selves were held to four safeties.
The New York Giants sewed UP
fifth place by sweeping a double
header from the Phils Al and
20, with Tom Sunkel pitching
two-hit ball in the nightcap. He
had no-hitter for seven inn
ings.
In the American League the
New York Yankees pummelled
the Philadelphia Athletics 7-2

home runs and Alley Donald
hurting a six-hit game.

Caution Urged In
 Adopting Children
Approximately l6,OOO American Children Are Placed

surrendering their children for adoption, even when the chances are that the children will have to be placed in institutions. Since three out of every four children adopted by non-relatives are born out of wedlock that makes a strong evil dence of the hitch in adopting chil- dren.
 The United States Children's Bu- reau has found that nearly half of all unmarried mothers are under twenty-one. A recent study showed that of 345 unmarried mothers, 154 were in domestic service; 94 were factory workers; 2 were still in school; 15 were salesgirls; 13 tele- phone operators; 2 teachers; 2 nurses; 3 actresses; 3 milliners and the occupations of 27 others were unknown. Obviously most of these girls were ill-equipped to take care of babies yet the social agencies per- suade such unmarried mothers to refuse their children for adoption. Miss Palmer's story is directed at the club women of America in the hope that they will investigate such situations and try to persuade the recognized agencies that homes and love for these children will aid them in fitting themselves for citizenship more readily than will institution care or paid foster parents.

Impulsiveness Led
 To Accidents Here
Death or Injuries to Children Analysed By Police De.
 partment Statisticians; Most Accidents in Daytime

Impulsiveness of children was a contributing factor in automobile accidents occurring in the city, ac- cording to a report received from the Waterbury Accident Prevention Bureau, in which an analysis of child accidents is made for 1940 The report was compiled under the supervision of Patrolmen William Dwyer, James Wagner, Jr., and James Little. The report adds that this characteristic of children has caused more accidents than all other causes combined.
 There were 100 children injured during 1940, three fatally. A fact indicated in the report shows that 70 children were injured during daylight and in clear weather while darkness and snow and rain brought injuries to eleven.
 Public schools listed 20 pupils hurt in automobile accidents from an attendance of i4,043, while only nine children were injured in au- tomoblle accidents from parochial schools out of an attendance Of 4,0O6.
 The bureau statistics pointed out that fifteen of these accidents oc- cured on the way to or from school while there were TS injured dur- ing the free time Of children. Children crossing or playing in streets were among tho greater number injured. 70 being hurt, while second were yosingsters on

says, with 85 million quarts of milk delivered daily to homes and stores.
 Pictorial charts and figures show the importance of the milk industry to the country's economic picture and illustrate how milk costs less in the U. s. in minutes of labor. Diagramatic charts illustrate how the annual milk supply of some 51 billion quarts is utilized.
 Fluid or fresh milk for cities and villages providing the farmers high est cash return, accounts for 29.9 per cent of the country's yearly pro- duction. Creamery butter takes 316 per cent, farm butter-9.2 per cent, while TIT per cent of the milk is used as fluid milk on farms where produced in making cheese 6.3 per cent of the total milk is used; ice cream-3.1 per cent and canned milks-4.5 per cent, according to charts.
 A chart of the distributors milk dollar shows 52.31 per cent going to dairy farmers for milk; 1924 per cent to delivery labor; 821 per cent to delivery expense; 6.33 plant ex- pense; 4.94 plant labor; 2.78 admin istrative labor; 218 administrative expense; 168 office labor; and pro- fit 2.3 3per cent, representing only a fraction of a cent per quart of milk.
 "The production and utilization of milk have so increased in this coun- try" says the booklet, that today we are the greatest of dairy na- tions. Milk, butter and other dairy products annually create an output valued at 3 1-2 billion dollars.
 Facts about the cows and the farmers that furnish the milk, the distributors whose efficiency has made wide usage possible and the consumption of this most nearly perfect food should lead to clear CT understanding of milk economics.
 "One out of every fifteen families in the U. S. is dependent on milk for livelihood. Milk is the largest single source of farm cash income, larger than cattle, twice cotton, three times wheat, five times tobac- co. There are 25 million COWS on three quarters of the nations mill lion farms.
 Americans enjoy the best milk in the world and economical distribu- ton, meticulous sanitation, pasteur- ization and other safeguards have made our milk supply a world standard"

bicycles with IS hurt, and next in line were youngsters coaSting with 12 injured, and listed at the bottom were children hitching rides with only three reported for the year.
 Boys led the list, the report con- tinues, with 30 injured as compared against only 20 girls hurt.
 Child fatalities comprised one- third of the total deaths in Water bury for l940. There were 79 chil- dren of school age injured as against 2l youngsters that did not attend class.
 The report draws attention to the unique fact that not more than one accident happened at each scene where some child suffered injuries. The accidents occurred in various sections throughout the city but never in the same place, and for the first time in many years the child trafiic death rate increased in Waterbury, the report noted.
 The report will be distributed to the various schools in the city by the accident prevention bureau.

Every year there are approxim- ately 16,000 American children plac- ed for adoption. Which means, talk ing more approximate figures, about 60 homes competing for each child or 59 homes that would be open to homeless youngstre which are doomed to disappointment. Of the 16,0o0 children only about one-tenth are placed by recognized adoption agencies; the rest are either out and-out bootleg affairs or in the hands of inexperienced doctors who are doing the best they can to see that homeless youngsters find the protection and love they need.
 On the other side of the picture are about 1 million childless famil- ies in the United States who would like to adopt child but are ham, pered by the bottleneck of social workers with more psychology than good sense who insist that mothers keep their children with them no matter how ill-equipped they may be for caring for the children. These figures have been obtained from ex- perts by Gretta Palmer who writes Whats Wrong with Adoption?" for the February issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine.
 Investigating the situation which dooms 499 families to childlessness or to resorting to unauthorized agencies for adoption Miss Palmer uncovered such figures as these:
 100000 children in this country living separated from their parents in paid foster homes or institutions, who are not available for adoption. For the reason given by social workers, statisticians and would be foster parents, Miss Palmer was told that the one fact responsible for this condition is that social workers use every inducement to prevent unmarried mothers from
