ASK MORE CASH
FOR STATE AGED

The Montana board of public well
fare asked all counties to increase old
age assistance payments in accordance
with 1941 session laws and promised
to use ''its best efforts" to see that
increases are available as soon as
possible.
Chairman o. A. Borgeson of Dillon
and Board Members D. S. McCorkle
of Conrad, Davis Graham Of Missoula.
Harry L. Burns of Chinook and Mrs.
Belle Nye Of Billings issued a state
ment pointing out an appropriation
increase Of $4,000 made by the 1871
session of the legislature for increased
old age pension payments.
The statement added:
These increases Gin old age pen
sions) cannot lawfully be made by the
board. Old age assistance must
be based on need. All county
welfare departments have been
requested to review old age assistance
grants in accordance with the need
of the individual
"Since the federal government con-
tributes so percent of the amount paid
in old age assistance, any increase
must be approved by the social Sc
curity board. Further, the present test
case pending in the Montana supreme
court may affect the amount available
to the various counties. For these rea-
sons the board cannot at this time
determine or fix the amount Of in
crease.
'"The board believes that present
grants are too low and the al
lowances must be increased"

downstairs. She had rented the upper
part of the house only: the ground

The little girl who matched patterns

lived in the basement with two grand
children, and had the whole house

Miss Croy's heart fluttered; then she
drew deep breath and held up hel

But she wasn't going home yet. She
was going back to the dead, the empty

The hall was very dark. She felt her
way to the lift and propelled herself
up to the first floor. She dared not
risk the stairs, and yet, when her life

to take these precautions. She was

 The Brooklyn Dodgers waited un- hl the fourth game of the world series to begin living down to their reputation, but once they got start ed they did 1t up in l7-jewel, straight eight, e la carte faGhion. In Ave frenxied seconds yesterday they surpassed N'l the incredible things they ever have done, going all the way back to the glorious days of Babe Herman who used to field flies by letting them hit him on top Of the head.
 The Dodgers may lose the world series-in fact, they have just about as much chance to win 1t aS Mickey Owen has to get c raise but their fame is secure in the all- nals of baseball. No one ever will equal their feat of yesterday.
 They became the only team ever to win and lose world series game on one pitch.
 Won Hut Lost
 For 6 fragment of Q second the Dodgers had defeated the Yankees 4 to 3, and evened the series at two games each. They were Nctors long enough for Q yell of triumph to ge up from the F1atbush faithful ane for police to swarm onto the f1ele to protect the buns from theil frenzied adherents.
 There were two out in tht Yankees half of the ninth, thC Dodgers were leading by one TUT and the count on the batter-Tom' my Henrich-were three and two Hugh Casey, Brooklyn pitcher, wa one pitch away from victory. HI rared back and gave it all he had The ball came up like a bullet broke low and inside to the left handed Henrich and the batter tool mighty swipe. He missed. It wa the third strike and the third out Or rather 1t would have been thu third out if any other team excep the Dodgers had been playing.
 The crowd thought Heinrich wa! out. The police thought he was out Tn fact, as he revealed later, Hen rich himself thought he was out But he looked down the first bast line and saw Coach Earl Comb frantica,ly waving at him to run So Heinrich ran. and when he go to first base he turned and saw strange sight.
 He saw Mickey Owen, Dodgel catcher, clear back by the grand stand just completing 8 throw tt first base. Then he knew why Combs had been so busily wig-wag' ging him to run. The ball had plunked against Owens glove ant gone bouncing back to the wall Tucked away in the rules of base bah is Q provision that the batter may run if the catcher falls to holc e third strike.

 By now, of course. you know wna' happened next. Yankees hit singles Yankees hit doubles. Yankees re- celved intentional passes and unin. tentioual passes. Yankees poured across the plate with runs befors Casey got the side cut.

Brooklyn Is Dizzy Disney Land Where N Nothing Is Real
BY MARTIN KANE

(UnAted Press Stan COfreSp0ndentl
 Fantasy Field, Brooklyn, Oct. 6 = (U.P0 = This is @ dizzy, disneyes- que land where nothing is real. The third strike for the third out in the ninth inning doesn't end the ball game here. The Wizard of Oz? This is his home.
 They say that on Walpurgis Eve the ghosts of Old Dodgers come out on Ebbets Field and play a game of ball backwards. The pitcher stands ct home plate and the batter on the pitchers mound, they run the bases from third to first, the umpires are always right and the third strike for the third out always starts a batting rally.
 There is something sinister about 1t. What are they trying to do to baSeballp Was that c spectre stir ring up the dust around first base or just the breeze from Leo Duro- chers coaching box2 What phantom rules this plot of land, this earth, this realm, this Brooklynp What goes on here7
 Look, 1t stands to reason that when q guy has three strikes on him he's out.
 Old Man, Now
 Reason has nothing to do with 1t, sonny. I can remember back to Sum day afternoon when two and two made four. Beyond that It's kind of haEy. I've heard talk about three terms for president. And prohibition. When are they going to enforce itp I'm an old man now, old before my time, and my memory isn't SO good any more. Things are all mixed up. So Heinie Zimmerman chased Eddie Collins across home plate, eh7 That doesn't seem 80 long ago. Just like yesterday.
 What baseball needs is fiber hel- mets for ball players only they should get them when they are babies to protect their heads. When they fall out of high chairs.
 And root up all this marijuana weed that grows around here.
 If you would loosen this strait jacket I could breathe easier. We were talking about the Dod- gers, weren't we? A great ball team. They always come through in the clutch. A ball game isn't over till the third out in the ninth, they always say.
 Painting
 They say that Stevedore Daily is a great painter. He never painted nothing like this. Let him come out to this ball park, Sonny, and we will show him stuff to curdle his color scheme. And if Groucho Marx means it when he says he is quitting the movies, well, here is his chance I have been scouting him for some time nowand he is about ripe. When he gets overripe we will send for him.
 Whats Roy Riegels doing these days? Of course, he was a football player but he had the makin's. He was brought up wrong, is all. Many a good boy goes wrong and ends up playing pinball machines when the Dodgers are just starving for ma- terial. If 1t was a pinball machine yesterday all the lights would have flashed, the bells would have rune and then the damn thing would have tilted.
 Btngo. Take two and hit to right Old Dodgers never die, they only fade away. Don't call them buns anymore. I like to think of them as Destiny's Dopes. Don't tell me those men in white coats are selling hol dogs. know what they're here for
