 Project Outlined
U. s. Department Of Agriculture Issues Guide To Anl- bilious Garden Fans-Movement Vital To America

New York. Jan. 19-In accord- ance with plans outlined by the United States Department of Agri- culture, House & Garden has de- voted separate, 52-page section of it's current January Double Num- Der to a Defense Garden Guide for 1942." Edited by Richardson Wright, national garden authority, 1t is planned to help gardeners grow focl for defense, flowers for morale. It contains 200 graphic "how-to-grow-it" sketches and more than $ garden photographs, as well as seed, planting and climate charts.
 "The Defense Garden says MT. Wright, Twill be notable improve ment over the War Garden of 1914. There will be no hysterical veget- able growing. In the first World War, over enthusiastic gardening caused a great waste of valuable seed and land. Since many seed- producing ations are now under Nazi domination, and since there is some ;hortage in our own seed crop due to unfavorable weather, we must not waste seed. Calculate your needs carefully and SOW to meet them. Grow your own veget-. ables, can the surplus, become self-sufficient as to food, but do no abandon growing and flower ing beauty" advises MT. Wright.
 Concise charts and "how-to-grow- ftO clynfrhnc ivSn1,ylnI {vH Defense section to guide the gar- dener in his planting. For exam pie, there is a Home Garden Veget- able Chart, with the amounts of seed carefully estimated for the needs of 8 family of five, and one servant. An important feature for the housewife is advice on how to grow a veg etable garden for home table and canning purposes. Anoth- CT chart shows how to raise onions, cucumbers, potatoes, sweet corn, and cabbage varieties. A master planting guide lists the planting and seeding seasons for 52 local ities throughout the United States. A great boon to the amateur, and to even the seasoned gardener, is the information on garden tools and planning a tool shed.
 In line with Governments ad- monition not to abandon growing and Towering beauty" part of the Defense Gardening Guide is de- voted to flowers. There are designs for gardens of easy-to-grow annuals and perennials which can be brought to bloom a minimum of time and effort, leaving the gardner free to cultivate essential vegetables and fruits. Full-color photographs show prize winning novelties of 1942, old fashioned favorites, and hybridizers
 Amateur and expert alike will find January House and Garden con- else guide to defense gardening which is rapidly becoming a vital factor in Americas home defense front.

PROVISIONS MADE
 TO PROTECT PETS
American Red Star Animal Relief Gives Hints; Dr.
 Beere Local Chairman

The American Red Star Animal Relief, sponsored in this state by the Connecticut Humane society, released today valuable hints on the proper care of pets and animals un- der war conditions. Reed w. Hitch cock, state director of the organiza- tion, urged that this advice be fol- lowed not only to protect the pets themselves but also to protect the civilian population from the menace of homeless, terrified, and hungry animals.
 MT. Hitchcock, assisted by Carlton E. Buttrick and Mrs. w. B. Williams, chairman of the Red Star auxiliaries of the state, have organized a sys- tenn for caring for domestic animals in time of emergency in twenty of the larger cities and towns of Con- necticut. This number is more than half of the completed set up which will be organized as soon as possible.
 A list of rules and regulations for the care of animals under war time conditions prepared by MT. Hitchcock have been approved by Edward J. Hickey, commissioner of state police, and Colonel Samuel Fisher, administrator of the state defense council. They are:
 Dog license tag should be worn at all times. Dogs and valued cats should wear collars bearing name and address of owner.
 All dogs should be kept under strict control during air raid warn ing and confined to one room on a leash.
 Keep drinking water available. Exercise dogs near home. Provide strong collar and leash.
 Animals will not be permitted in air raid shelters.
 Do not permit animals to roam day or night.
 If animals are of nervous disposi- ton consult your veterinarian for a proper sedative.
 An injured animal frenzied by pain should be handled with gloves or wrapped in blanket, so that it cannot bite. Keep face away from injured animals head. Support broken bones.
 Take your injured or sick animal to veterinarian.
 Burns must be treated promptly. In minor cases apply strong cold tea. Cover burns with tanic acid jelly, carron oil or plain vaseline to keep out air. See veterinarian if burn is serious.
 Serious bleeding may be stopped by pressure. Do not leave tourni- quet on more than twenty minutes.
 Don't work nervous or fractious horse on the street.
 Don't tie your horse by the reins, or to a lamp post or railing.
 Horses should wear halter and rope at all times.
 In case of an air raid warning with no shelter available for a horse pull into a vacant lot or side street, chain front and rear wheels to- gether and tie horse to the rear of wagon.
 The application of these rules by all animal owners will not only safe guard their pets in time of emer- gency but will also prove helpful to any Red Star agent doing rescue work in case of disaster The Waterbury chairman is Dr. Merritt Fl. Beere, 9 Country Club road. The Watertown chairman is Walter Harrdisty, an agent of the Connecticut Humane society.

MAJORS OPEN
TO NEGROES

CHICAGO, July 19 CUP) - Base
ball Commissioner KeneSaw M.
Lands said today that there was
no rule against major league clubs
hiring Negro baseball players.
Lands statement was issued after
he had questioned Leo Durocher,
manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
about a story in the New York Daily
Worker. The story quoted Durocher
as saying he would hire Negro play
ers if he we're permitted.
Durocher was said to have denied
making the statement. After the
conference Lands said certain
managers had been quoted as say
ing that the reason Negroes are
not playing in organized baseball
is that the commissioner would not
permit them to do So
Il have come to the conclusion
that it is time for me to express
myself on this important issue,
Lands said. "Negroes are not barred
from organized baseball by the
commissioner and never have been

Browns
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS

NEW YORK. July 18-tUP) -
With both the New York Yankees
and Brooklyn Dodgers safely berth
ed and looking unbeatable behind
comfortable league leads. the only
genuinely interesting club in the
majors today was the st. Louis
Browns.
The Brownies are usually regard
ed as just a club of spoilers" - an
outfit with nothing to lose and
everything to gain-but they have
jumped into fourth place in the
American league on the crest of an
eight-game winning streak.
Their sudden rise can be traced
to good pitching and remarkable
outburst of hitting by outfielder
Chet LaabS Manager Luke SeWell
said only few days ago that if he
had "one hot hitter" he'd make the
Browns ROLAND fast.
TWO MORE HOMERS
Laabs has been filling that bill
with a vengeance. He hit another
pair of homers yesterday as the
Browns clipped the AS, 4-2 and
Ill. Those four-baggers brought
his seasons output to II, two off
the major league lead held by Ted
williams of the Red Sox. Laabs
has now lammed seven homers in
as many days and driven in "a runs
for the year. Last year he raped
Is homers and drove in SO runs.
Steve Sundra gvae up II hits but
scattered them we'll enough in the
first game to win his third victory
Stan Ferens, rookie southpaW,

ger paced the Yankees to a clean
sweep of their series with Cleveland
and brought Spud Chandler his
10th triumph as the champions
downed the Tribe, 81.
Williams single in the 18th scor-
ed Johnny Pesky with the run that
gave the Red Sox a 2-1 triumph
over the Chicago White Sox.
SOLONS WIN
The Senators swept their series
with the Tigers, scoring a 80 tri-
umph in the first twilight game
ever played at Washington. A crowd
of 1000 saw Buck Newsom and
Hal Newhouser each allow four
hits.
The Brooklyn Dodgers trounced
the Cubs, 10-5, knocking Claude
Passeau from the box for the sec
ond time in this series, with five
run foray in the fifth. They added
three runs in the seventh and col
lected Is hits in all of three pitchers.
HoWie KriSt won his sixth vic
tory against only one defeat as the
Cards trounced the Phils, 10-1.
Three pitchers worked for the Phils
and allowed 13 hits.
Hal Schumacher's five-hit hurting
and a 20-hit barrage enabled the
Giants to shellack the Pirates. 11-2.
Billy Jurges drove in four runs on
four hits for the Giants, including
a fth-inning home run. Dick Bar

ming each made three hits.
