WE
the Women
BY RUTH M1IIEIT

In explaining why she gave up
her iull time job to take care Of
her little boy one mother said, II
suddenly realized how much more
of my time he wanted and needed.
He was well taken care of, but I
was with him only on Sundays and
for an hour each day. I decided
right then I'd do something about
it. 1 gave my employer two weeks
notice and Quit"
The little boy Who needed more
of his mothers time is COrky, son
of one of Americas war heroes, the
late Colin Kelly, Jr.
But he might be the child of any
man who has left home to fight
for his cOuntry-so far as the need
for his mothers time and atten-
ton and love is concerned.
It is only natural for woman
whose husband is gone to think
OF getting a job. She knows it will
keep her mind occupied, keep her
from suffering quite SO much from
loneliness, give her a new and chal-
longing interest.
But if she has small child, she
hasn't the right to think first of
herself and of her loneliness. If she
has a child her first duty is to him
and she shouldn't turn his care
over to anyone else, unless it is
absolutely necessary for her to work
all day in order to contribute to
her own and her child's support
CHILDREN NEED LOVE
When men go to war it is up to
the women to take care of the
children-not Just to see that their
physical needs are taken care Of,
but to see that they have a real
home and security and love.
Staying home all clay with small
children may be a lonely life for
woman, when she can no longer
look forward to her husbands COM
ing home at night. But doing one S
job in wartime is seldom easy.
Mothers should remember that
when they are tempted to turn their
children over to maid or to grand
parents and get jobs that aren't
absolutely necessary to the family
budget.
The child who has only one par
ent for the duration needs all the
love and gaiety and security that
one parent can create.

YANKS and RED
SOX SET MERRY
PACE IN LEAGUE
Gordon Going "Great
Guns; DiMaggiO Has
Big Day
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY
United Press STAFF COrrespOndentl

UNITED Press Stan Correspondent
New York, April % - (UP) -
Remember the hero Of the world
series Joseph Lowell Gordon,
Yankee second baseman who hit
a cool 500 and made the Dodgers
moan he wasn't human because
Of his dazzling defensive play. Well
MFR. Gordon is doing all right for
himself again.
He's leading the American League
hitters with an average Of ACT and
in the field he is Mr.. Impregnable
himself. Gordon's fielding was a
thing Of beauty yesterday as he
handled IL chances clearly in the
Yankees II to s triumph over the
pathetic Athletics.
Jolting Joe DiMaggio also had a
day for himself yesterday. Smack
ing out his second homer and two
triples as the Yanks cudgeled Beck
man and Fowler for 10 hits.
Tied with Yanks
The Boston Red Sox also had on
their slugging clothes, hammering
out a 1894 triumph over Washing
ton, and remained deadlocked with
the Yanks for the American League
lead. TWO. Judd, the Red Sox 80
year old Canadian southpaw, hung
up his first victory, holding the
Senators to nine hits. Jimmy Foxx
was out Of the Red Sox lineup with
sinus trouble.
Cleveland ratified off its fourth
straight victory when Vernon Ken
nedy let the Browns down with
five hits for q 80 decision. Ken
needy gave UP only five hits and
stopped st. Louis cold in the ninth
after the Browns had filled the
bases with none out.
Don Holloway, young White Sox
second baSema11, starred as Chicago
beat Detroit, Bel. Holloway doubled
twice, scored both times on outfield
flies and drove in the other Sox
run with q single.
The Dodgers kept up their blaz-
ing early pace by winning a 40
decision over the Braves In ~ in
nings. Pee Wee Reese's single with
the bases loaded broke up the
scoreless battle. Jim Tobin held
the Dodgers to six hits. Whit Wyatt
making his first start, allowed 10
hits in nine innings but kept them
scattered. Hugh Casey held the
Braves hitless the last three frames.
Riddle Routed
Harry Gumbert scored his second
victory by pitching the Cardinals
to q 6-1 victory over the Reds. FL
mer Riddle lost his second straight
start, giving up II hits in seven
innings.
Rookie Dave Koslo pitched the
Giants to q 80 triumph over the
Phils. Johnny Mize hit q double
and single and drove in two New
York runs.
Luke Hamlin, former Dodger, won
his first game for Pittsburgh, hold
ing the Cubs to seven hits for q g.
l victory Bob Elliott took the major
league lead with his third homer
and second in two days.

Lexington, KY, April 23.-(UP)--
Remember the nursery rhyme about
the 10 little Indians who sat in a
line until one fell away and then
there were nine? If you do, don't
whistle it within earSfot of Honest
Ben Jones, the head man at War
rem Wright's Calumet Farm, or he
Is apt to dent your skull with the
nearest axe.
It seems that wo months ago there
were eight little Calumet Kentucky
Derby eligibles standing in a line,
Well, one dropped off and then
there were seven. Then another
one went bad and there were six.
To keep this piece to reasonable
length I'll state at this point that
to date they've all dropped away
and now there is none.
The vagaries of the turf were
never more wildly highlighted. Last
year Jones had only one thorough
bred who was eligible for the Derby
His name was Whirlaway and his
disposition was wild, wonderful ant
completely whacky. But Whirlaway
suddenly turned straight.
He won the Derby and he set an
amazing track record in doing it.
This year Jones started with
eight glittering prospects. In order
Of ability, they were Sun Again,
Some Chance, Col. Teddy, Wish
bone, Markell, Paratheen, Yukon
and Early n Smart. As juveniles,
Sun Again won the Arlington Flu
turity and Some Chance the Bel
mont. They were some shucks,
really.
Only One Left
Now, nine days from the big show
at Louisville, the husky Kansan
doubts that Calumet'S Devil Red
and Blue silks will even reach the
post. At the moment there Is only
the barest chance that Sun Again
can be readied for the Derby. The
others have been written of the
books as mere might-have-beens.
The fates have been cruel to
Jones and Wright this year. Just
how cruel nobody realizes until he
has seen Calumet Farm. Not until
he has walked through the vastness
Of its blue grass pastures gazed at
Its scores Of indigo blooded brood
mares and been awed by its i'm
per!ouS stations can he know Just
how quickly a mans luck can turn
Calumet is a fabulous and price,
less institution dedicated to raising
horses who can win races like the
Derby and the PreakneSS. Here
money means nothing. It is mere
ly something to be used in achiev-
ing q goal. Every man and, every
blade Of grass on the farms 1900
acres Is devoted to flne thorough
BREEDS.
The eight horses Wright and
Jones nominated for the Derby this
