Hank in Final
Game Today
For a Year
By LEO MACDONELL

Hank Greenberg will make his
final appearance, for a year or
more, in the lineup Of the Tigers
when they take the field against
the New York Yankees at Briggs
Stadium today.
Greenberg will be indicted into
the army early tomorrow morning.
Possibility that yesterday may
have been his last game appeared
as showers and thunderstorms
were predicted for this afternoon.
He will miss by few hours the
raising of the American League
pennant won by the valiant Tigers
last year, an achievement to which
the great Tiger slugger contrib
uted so much.
BY the time the league flag is
raised at Briggs Stadium, Green
berg will be paying homage to Old
Glory at Camp Custer. as a soldier.
He will leave behind a princely
salary reported TO be $4,000 a
year. greatest ever paid a ball
player other than Babe Ruth, who
one season received a fantastic
$50, 900. to shoulder arms for $21
a month.
Greenberg was a good ball
player-he will be a good soldier.
EIGHT YEARS A STAR
With Greenberg's departure,
the Tigers lose their greatest bat
ter and baseball loses one of the
most colorful players of all time,
star during eight years of serv-
ice with Detroit, the only big
league club with which the former
Bronx high school athlete was
ever attached.
A brilliant player, Greenberg in
his comparatively short career as
a big Lacquer won many honors,
glories that put him in a class with
such immortals as Ty Cobb. Rog-
ers Hornsby and other great bats
men as well as Ruth, the home run
slugger.
Whether or not he will later re-
gain the heights of past achieve
ments in the national pastime,
Greenberg can cherisI. memories
of great deeds with the BATS
homers in 1888. only two less than
Ruth's all-time record. He won
the most valuable player award
twice and many all-star team
selections.

Jewelry Innovation
Adds Chic to Frocks

A new development in the jewelry
realm is clips that come in series
from two to three, four or five. They
vary in size and are worn along a
neckline or are clipped or pinned
to sweep down one side of the bodice
like flock of little birds.
Another version of the jewel series
is interpreted in several clips that
may be worn singly, in series or
fastened together to form one inn
portant Notwithstanding piece.
Such is the new lotus flower clip.
One clip may be the flower, an
other the bud still another the TO-
liage. Wear them separately and
they serve many purposes, fasten
them together (they are made to do
just that and you have one impos-
ing piece of jewelry to wear with
your evening gown.
The idea is carried on in some in
stances to include matching finger
ring and earrings.

Main Street Gone
From Fashion World

"There is no more Main Street in
Fashion," declared Mrs. 'Wilhela
Cushman, fashion editor of Ladies
Home Journal, before a conven-
ton OF retailers and manufacturers
who recently held their spring ma
tional shoe fair in Chicago. Mrs.
Cushman says she has found in her
travels of 10000 miles in the past
that Main street and Fifth avenue
meet and now launch simultaneously
the same advance fashions.
Declaring that this season "a cos
tune will be made by it's access
sories," Mrs. Cushman said that
bags will be bigger, softer and more
colorful In footwear, the news
is of softer shoes. There is new
softness about the leather used. The
seamless glove will also be featured
this season, she added.

AROUND
THE HOUSE

A Towel Tip-Instead of making
kitchen towels roller shape, put
deep hem on each end and slip
roller through. When one end be-
comes damp reverse the towel.
Less toweling is needed and it will
dry much quicker.
To prevent the OdOr of cooking
cabbage, broccoli or onions. from
permeating the house, cook these
vegetables uncovered with two
pieces of bread on the cooking
water.
Whenever possible add favoring
extracts to a food when it is cool.
If the food is hot, much of the
favoring will vanish in steam. This
does not apply to baked foods,
however.
A little vinegar put into soapy
water when washing aluminium
ware helps to keep it bright.

Unusual Fabrics
Enhance Dresses

Unusual fabrics frequently add to
the attractiveness of evening gowns.
A little use of the imagination will
often produce satisfactory results.
If you are smart young person
you might consider going to the up
holstery department next time you
need material for new evening
dress. You will be doubly smart if
you choose material with gray
background.
Heavy gray rayon taffeta has
great possibilities, as does gray sat-
in with tiny motifs in gold or striped
and damask designs. This material
is so wide that it takes only few
yards to make beautiful dress.

BREAKFASTS TO GET THE
FAMILY UP

''The nice thing about breakfasts"
said one newlywed, els that you
don't have to plan them, you just
serve them" Although it is possible
to get a breakfast with whatever
there is at hand in the line of toast,
coffee, and fruit juices, a little plan
ming does yield big dividends.
For it is planning that makes pos
sible the breakfast specialties that
get the laggards out of bed in the
morning-and down to eat before
they go. And that's important, be-
cause they miss the Vitamin c in
the orange or tomato juice when
they skip breakfast, the Vitamin B
in the whole grain cereal, the iron
in the egg yolk, which aren't always
made up later in the day.
A sketchy, hurried breakfast, or
none at all, accounts, too, for some
of that mid-morning fatigue. It's a
long time to go without food, from
six o'clock of one night until noon
of the next day.

seem to me to all that l had seen
or imagined of the human form for
striking effect. I remember with
what delight, in my after studies,
I came to the line in Virgil that
expressed all the enthusiasm of my
own feelings, as inspired by that
presence, and which I could not
often enough repeat: I verify be-
lieve, nor is my confidence un-
founded, that he is of divine de-

Senator Robbins then recalled
that he had been privileged to at
tend the meeting of Washington
and Count Rochambeau, the French
naval commander, when they drew
up the plan of combined operations
between the French fleet and the
American Army against the British
forces on Chesapeake Bay, at one
of the most critical periods in the
War for Independence. 1t was a,
gripping recital.
"And then I saw the immense
crowd drawn together from all the
neighboring towns" the Rhode
Islander continued, ito get, if possi-

one of that immense crowd doubted
the final triumph of his country in
her arduous conflict; for every one
saw, or thought he saw in Wash

missioned by Heaven to insure her
that triumph. Nil desperandum'
was the motto of every one.
