Agriculture have been completely
modified to help farmers make
the greatest possible use Of the
Nations agricultural resources.
Right now we're getting ac-
quainted with the rationing Of
sugar - the largest part Of our
supply being imported - and Of
course we don't know what the
weather win do TO crops or how
much food Wen be sending to the
United Nations. But we do know
that compared with the strict
rationing Of food in the Axis
countries, and with agriculture
set for greater production this
year, the people Of the United
States should continue to eat well.
German civilians apparently are
Still eating more potatoes than
U. s. folks, but there are apparent
deficiencies In almost all other
items.
In Japan, where rice Is q pre-
dominant part Of the diet, the
1899 rice crop was the poorest in
20 years and the 1910 and 1871
crops were below normal. The
general diet Of the Japs is believed
to be glaringly low in efficient pro-
teinS, minerals, and vitamins.
BIG RESERVES
ARE SCHEDULED
Protecting the food supply Of
this nation Is the National Farm
Program, with its provisions for
abundant reserves for emergen-
cies, such as the present war en-
Urgency, and Its positive encour-
agement Of conservation farming
to get the most out Of every acre
Of land.
The adjustment features of the
program are providing the basis
for getting the right amounts Of
the right crops to meet this years
goals by stepping up the produc-
ton Of urgently needed crops,
such as soybeans, and cutting
down on commodity, like wheat,
which is already well' stocked.
Uncle Sans children, whether in
the line of battle or on the home
front, have available the most
and best food in the world; and
through the farm program the
country Is making certain 1t shall
always have an abundance OF
food.

WORLD WAR I
WAS BAD ENOUGH

So, don't expect to see any such
scenes as one woman reported
seeing during the last war. It
seems that right at q time when
the need was for more and more
man power, she passed a woman's
clubhouse where the ladies were
meeting to discuss what they
could do to win the war. In front
Of the clubhouse, Longing around
waiting patiently for the meeting
to break UP. were-l7 able-bodied
chauffeurs.

you're likely to see the wherewithal
for really quick Job.
The kit may not be fancy,

may be Just a shoe box. But It will
be filled with some kind Of efilca-

of her makeup essentials. In that

It is q great mistake, Of course,
TO put fresh cosmetics on over stale.
You may be too busy to leave your

for the length Of time required to

enough-if your grooming gadgets
are at hand, and are chosen for

graSs-choppers. Of course, when he once got within range of the ball his play was unerring because of those great hands" But often he couldn't get within range soon enough.
 You don't need that starting speed behind the plate" he con- tinued. I've got more speed than most catchers, and I've got a good throwing arm. Besides I like to handle pitchers and work out the weaknesses of batters. All along, I knew I had more assets as a catcher than as an infielder, but the opportunity never came for me to get behind the plate."
 Bragan, who has been hitting only about .230 this season, said he was positive the shift would improve his batting, because I'm in a betetr frame of mind now-more confident. It takes confidence to bat well. You cant go up to the plate moaning about your play afield and expect to hit safely. Last season I did pretty well, though. My average was only .251, but I led the leagues short stops in runs batted in, with 69."
 The new catcher added somewhat bashfully that there was an addi- tional reason why he'd have to "go to town" from now on-"the kid"
 "The kid?"
 Yeah" concluded Bragan, i've got baby boy now-two and at half months old. We call him Bobby, Jr. With that kid behind me and prom ise of a regular catcher's berth in front of me--watch my smoke"

New York, Aug. 11.-OP)-De- Spite his exterior, 60-year old Hans Lobert is an alchemist at heart. The bespectacled, grizzly bear manager of the Phils now frolics with ela- ton during fungo practice because his l0test, and perhaps greatest, ex- pertinent has been successful.
 Before last nights game with the Dodgers, reporter stepped up to Pilot Lobert in the Ebbets field dug put and inquired, What's fryin', Hans, old boy?"
 "Pah-lenty!" boomed Hans eager ". Have you noticed what I've been doin' with young Bobby Bra xan?"
 The reporter meditated: "Bragan Bragan-. Oh, yeah, your short stop"
 Neds Polish
 "Shortstop nothing" flung back Robert triumphantly. "He used to be g. shortstop. But I've changed that in the last couple of weeks. I've turned him into catcher. Amt usln' him as a first-stringer yet, till he gets little more polish. But Say-there's kid who's bound to become one of the best catchers in the majors. I always had hunch he'd be catcher-got such great hands-but I was afraid to experi- 1nent with him when we needed in- 4eiiders too badly.
 Well, on our recent western trip, got desperate for catchers-what with Livingston suddenly called home by his wife's illness. So I Ask for volunteers, known all the time who's going to pop up and ask for chance. Of course, Bra gan volunteered, so I put him in a game at St. Louis and he worked like a charm. And I used him in four or five games since then. He's great. Bill Killefer (coach. has been working with him, smoothing out some rough spots. In little while Bragan will be tops behind the plate. Say-why don't you go over there and talk to Bragan? That's him over there with '21' on his back"
 Bobby Bragan is strapping, dark haired, bronZed lad from Birming- ham, Ala, who stands close to six { feet and is built like light heavy weight.
 What did the Alabaman think of Lobert's experiment?
 T think it's puffect," drawled Bragan. "Why-I been ai1nin' at a catcher's berth for the five years I been in pro ball, but they always need infielders and had catchers. I started out as 8 catcher in high school and during three seasons of American Legion play. But when I started with Panama City of the Alabama Florida league in '37, it was at third base and shortstop."
 Bragan explained frankly that he knew he never would make a great infielder because he was too slow afoot-in starting after drives and

Make Or Break" Fight For Pep Tonight
DOUBLE WIND-UP AT MISC. THURS.
Montgomery vs. Ruffin !; Zivic to Face Fignting
 Marine, Garvey Young

New York, Aug. 11-Along with double-header ball games, double decked sanwiches, double-barrelled guns, double-feature movies, and double-talk, we now have a double windup boxing show.
 One such is scheduled at Madison Square Garden Thursday night when Bob Montgomery, Philadel- phia lightweight, opposes Bobby Ruffin, Astoria, L. l., and Fritzie zivic, of Pittsburgh, former world welterweight champion, faces Gar vey Young, U. s. Marine stationed at Boston. Both matches are listed for ten rounds.
 And that isn't all. There is an- other ten-rounder slated. This one has Maxie Shapiro, East Side light weight, and Cleo Shans, of Los An- geles.
 The principals in the three tens have all been seen before by Garden fans, with the exception of Garvey Young. He is a newcomer to New York but his reputation as a two- listed fighter has preceded him here. Young outpoirted welterweight champion Freddy (Fred) Cochrane in an overweight match at Boston last May 8.
 Impressive
 Next to Ray Robinson, Young has the most imposing record of any welterweight in action today. He has won his last 31 fights in a row. In fact he hasn't lost fight in four years. Young has been in the Marines more than two years, enlisting in Cleveland. He was at Paris Island, s. C., for close to year and transferred to Boston about fifteen months ago.
 He won eleven straight fights in Boston and then had to lay off box ing to undergo an appendectomy. But he is back in action now and confident he will add zivic, from whom Cochrane won the title, to his list of victims.
 Young is 8 southpaw and a body puncher. Almost half his victories have been scored by knockouts. His fiery, aggressive style makes him a strong attraction. He is sure his first start in the Gar den will put him in solid with New York ring enthusiasts.

PEP MADE 2-1
 CHOICE OVER PUERTO REGAIN
Hernandez Would Be Fa- vOrite in New York;
 CarilIip FalcO to Show

Hartford, Aug. 11.-A report oVM of New York has it that a group of Pedro Hernandez's Puerto Ricar countrymen have clipped in to cover some of that 2-1 money said to be floating around the city, money that is backing Willie Pep against the No. 2 challenger for the worlds feather title. Unbeaten Willie takes on Pe- dro in g. ten-rounder at Bulkeley Stadium tonight.
 Those odds are a bit off the beam if cagey fight connoisseurs are to be believed. They see 1t as 8 good even-money affair. But the youth full Pep-he's only 19-has capti- vated rabid fight fans locally, and he's come through for them so often that they've made him 8 distinct favorite in the betting odds rang. ing from 5-7 to 1-2. When logi. cally, and in any other city in thG country, Hernandez would be the favorite.
 May Draw 10000
 The advance sale indicates 1argG turnout, possibly 5000. Promoter E9 Hurley is prepared to handle 2 crowd of 10000. Interest runs high in the possibilities of Pep making it 46 straight triumphS at the ex- pense of fighter who is purported to be in line for title short with the winner of the Chalky Wright Lulu Costantino bout. It looms aS Pep's toughest fight to date.
