The Pirates have won nine of
their exhibition games this season
and lost three while the Chicago
team has Won six and dropped
four.
The White Sox looked a little diff
ferent in Tuesdays game than they
usually do for throughout the entire
season last year they were plagued
by lack of hitting. With the most
consistent pitching in the major
leagues. they could only finish
third in the American league race.
Bob Elliott, valley boy on the
Pirate team, was again on third
base Tuesday and is slated for that
position when the teams meet here.
Elliott, usually an outfielder. has
started out great guns and may help

of the
Moment

If you have a woman baseball far
in your home, it's best to leave heI
to her game. Never try to argue
with her about best pitchers and best
shortstops. She's a fanatic with a
one track mind. She knows her
favorites and she refuses to admire
any of their rivals.
This particularly is bit of advice
for men They have an idea that a
woman never knows as much about
baseball as they do. But they should
beware. If woman knows anything
at all about baseball she's very
likely to know lot more than the
men in her family. The chances
are that she has listened to every
game her team has played this
season, and probably for several
seasons before this. Her sessions
with the baseball announcers are
held when the rest of the family is
not around, and they may not know
the extent of her knowledge. But
her knowledge is apt to be terrific.
She'll remember every play for
months back And, no matter how
you argue with her, she'll always
have comeback.
Let her alone. She knows what
she likes, and she might as we'll like
it. If you want to recognize her
interest in baseball, ask her opinion
OF a game once in awhile. Don't
tell her what it should be. JEAN.

Dy Josephine LOlCman
In discharging her everyday duties
the average woman uses her body in
such a way as to tear down SYM
metry and health rather than build
1t up. Take the simple activity of
picking things up off the floor.
During her lifetime a woman ex-
pends enough energy in this way
to build pyramid! If she had a
nickel for every time she has stopped
over to retrieve something her taxes
would be paid for the duration and
afterward
This same duty can be performed
with less energy when done cor
rectly. At the same time muscles
can be firmed. posture improved, and
the woman will certainly look more
graceful and attractive.
Some women look as though they
are in the last throes of a broken
down hulu-hula or have cricks in
their backs or corns on their toes
Many certainly do not give the i'm
preston of graceful, alluring woman
hood or smoothly functioning body
The woman who understands gooo
posture has her back straight, hel
tummy pulled in, her body in perfect
balance, and the thigh muscles are
doing most of the work. The whole
position looks so easy that you
imagine the lady could stop half
way down to order groceries
It's shame not to use our daily
activities to build firm thighs
strengthen the back and improve
posture. Make an exercise out oil
picking things up off the floor-a
deep knee bend, back straight, trunk
slightly forward You can pick the
| articles up at your side. Just move
the arm to the side of your body.

AehAAiiilC dIt Vi DcCOIllllk lovely
enough to please some man.
That, believe. is all we'll and
good, But without starting the
'equal-rights' discussion all over
again. may I ask why the gentlemen
should not take just as much trouble
to make themselves appealing to us?
II we must work like slaves to have
them notice us, why shouldn't they
put forth just little effort to be
pretty in their more robust wayp
I'VE spend a good Is or 20 minutes
IN the morning putting on our faces
so that we can be seen in public.
But Joe Doakes, who works at the
next desk, hasn't even taken the
trouble to shave two-day growth
OF beard. We plunk out our hard
earned salaries for perfumes and
toilet waters, but he hasn't the time
or inclination to go in for a good
masculine cologne that would make
his presence a pleasure and which
would win the approval of those
around him. Would we girls think
OF going without a necessary de-
odorant, In winter as we'll as sum-
mer? Not on your life. But Joe
never uses deodorant, for he thinks
it's sissy stuff and he, the big.
strong thing. is too much of a man
to worry about those who have to
work In the same steam heated Of
flee with him all through the day.
1--WE read all the charm ads and
advice to women who would be ir-
risistible. And all I have to say is,
why don't you writer's go to work on
the stronger sex? Manufacturers
have come a long way with mas
culine beauty aids but the articles
don't do any good sitting on the
counters! So, please, Miss Vogt,
couldn't you bring these things to
the attention of the readers? Maybe
some man will stumble across the
woman'S page on his way to the
sports section. Or maybe the little
woman" will clip your written ad-
vice and leave it conspicuously on
the end table next to his pipes. I'm
sure a great many women feel the
way do about the lack of consider
alton on the part of most men, even
though we seem helpless to do any
thing about it. Maybe the only way
to get George to put on clean
shirt oftener than once every three
days is for us to wear the same
soiled blouse time after time. II
almost would be worth the sacrifice
Hopefully yours,

the coils turn red and warml How
ever. these heaters will make a very
small difference in raising the tenn

were not designed for this purpose.
In addition to this they are expen-

of the electricity that is going to be
needed to run all sorts of vital de-

better to rule out the electric heater,
except for the emergency purposes
for which it was designed. Turn it on
