you, although you don't list it, is
war. To womankind the state of
being at war is like a perpetual
nagging headache, perpetual
weight on the heart, perpetual,
restless misery of soul. These con-
ditions keep her in a nervous quiv-
er, so that little daily disappoint-
ments and upsets, usually so unim-
portant, aggravate her into a frenzy.
Now Bettina, unwind. Just take
the travelled ends of those nerves
and smooth them off, and tuck them
down deep into the big generous,
quiet center of your soul. Tell your
self that whatever is transpiring on
the wide battlefelds of the world
will not be helped by your nervous
outbreaks, your wakeful nights, your
impatient complaints of matters on
the home front.
This fearful war will end, will pass
into history with other wars, and
the women who serve America 10y
ally and bravely now will take their
places beside those other heroic
women who helped to give us our
country, and helped to build it strong
and firm in the crises that followed
the wars.
Remain Undaunted.
Keep three girls, one weary man,
one delicate child happy through
this hard time. Reduce meals to a
minimum of serving and cooking;
have one-dish dinners and serve
them in the kitchen if you like, but
from now on have your mood always
sunny and undaunted. Think, hope
hope for the brother in the service,
for the busy doctor, for the little son
hope for America and all it stands
for. And meanwhile keep every de-
tail of your housekeeping wifehood,
mothering, as simple, gentle, sweet,
confident as though peace were real
ly in view, and a great wave of
brotherhood and rebuilding and re-
lief and security were washing over
the world.
For that peace will come, and
when it does you don't want it to
find you wrecked, nervous, broken
woman who couldn't stand ADVERSE
ty. You want your husband to turn
to you instead with grateful, low
ing "she pulled us all through"
You want your girls to say, "Ev-
eryone said that Mother was SIM
ply wonderful" and you want your
little boy, with his eyes restored like
any other boys eyes, to have his
mother to thank for the nursing that
cured him.
So gear down. Simplify. Just as
we are driving our cars frugally at
35 miles, in these days, drive your
self steadily on lower base of de-
mand, of expectation; remind your
self that there ARE no easy times;
nothing can make them pleasant or
secure for everyone, but every one
of us who spares her household the
worst of them is by just so much
lifting the burden and the sorrow of
the world.
If you say to yourself, ''War is
heaven on EARTH" you are going to
have a pretty bad time reconciling
your statement with the facts.
But if you say "War is hell on
EARTH" then every CLINT of good
news, of family serenity, of the SIM
pie routine of having a delicious
dinner, of seeing good movie, of
reading new book, is so much
gained.
We're not having a good time, ma
tionally speaking.
Make it kind of game to see
just how much you can do to keep
those nearest you from firdirg it cut

The Touch of q Hund

A gentleman went into a jewell
er's shop and asked to be shown
some precious stones. The shop
keeper brought forth a tray con-
tanning, among other stones, an
opal. AS it lay beside the others
it appeared dull and altogether of
little value.
Then the jeweler took it in his
hand and held it for some mo-
ments, and again showed it to his
customer. Now it shone and
flashed with all the hues of the
rainbow. It needed the warm
touch of a human hand to bring
out its color and beauty. There
are human lives about us that
seem cold and dull and lusterless.
Perhaps because they need a help
ing hand from some of us!

Well, Bettina, as far as that goes,
there are good many of us who
would like to crawl into a dark hole
for the next five years, knowing that
fearful crises and changes must
take place in those five years, and
that we would emerge into a saner
and safer world. But inasmuch as
you and I are among the men and
women who must help to make those
changes, and see that they are in
the direction of Gods peace and
Gods justice, we can't crawl to COW

We have to fight on, in our quieter
grooves, just as steadily and coura-

Amid the roll of drums etc, ETC.,
tonight we present to you our Nell,
Nell Elsberg, she of golf fame, who,
although a newcomer in the Mixed
League, has fit into the leagues
fun and activities like well-fitting
glove. Nell, who losses them down
the alley like Lefty Gomez whizzes
them over the plate, has improved
her bowling SO much during the sea-
son that our secretary has quite a
job keeping her average straight.
Whether she rolls them good or bad,
Nell is always spreading her in
fictitious gayety to the opposition and
there is sure to be some fun on
those alleys. Nice to have you with
us, Nell!

Our friend, Milt Carlson of the
banking Carlsons, hit them very we'll
Monday night. Milt turned nice
total of 343 for his three games and
enabled his team to garner two
points from Vim Duff's Connectors.
Pinfall, by the way, in this struggle
went Milt's way by the margin OF
only one pin.
Joe May increased his hold on
first place by taking four points
from the second place Wires. Ruth
Bowen again helped the May outfit
this week by throwing in 119
third string. Ruth is doing far bet
ter on one leg than she ever did on
both pins! Ruth, you know, has
been laid up for month or so with
a bad foot injury and as yet she
cannot use her foot to it's fullest ex-
tenD.
Dick Hyland, who has been hay
ing one OF those bad slumps that
hits us all sooner or later, finally
came through with a snappy 1865 to-
tai to enable his squad to win two
points from the Jets. Vim DeLucia
OF the Jets, a new member of the
league, rolled a nice first game of
1919.
We all welcome to our snappy
league Ted BLY,, veteran bowler of
many campaigns We know Won will
enjoy the swell hospitality of all
our gals and boys and hope you will
throw in many, many strikes.
Mary Sheehan and Peg Dunn con-
tinued their fine bowling among
the female bowlers. Mary had a 1923
total and Peg 1877. Good bowling,
folks! BY the way, it seems to us
that our Gwen has slipped this year

CHANGE OF Diet
ALSO BOUND TO
HAVE EFFECT
Night Games Good for
Fans and Owners "as
Long as Players Last"
BY OSCAR FRALEY


Omitted Press staff Correspondent
New York, Feb. 6 up Babe
Ruth observed his 47th birthday an
niversary on a train to Hollywood
today after predicting that IN
creased night baseball in the major
leagues would lessen the physical
efficiency Of the players.
THE greatly increased number of
night games can't help but hurt
the players" the ex-SultoA of Swat
announced last night enroute to his
train.
The Babe, from a players stand
point, was incensed over approval
OF 161 nocturnal games-more than
double the II of last year.
Playing such a large number OF
night games probably will weaken
and may even ruin--their eyes,
Ruth said. THE change of diets
also is going to have an effect.
For instance, playing in the aft
ernoon, a ball player usually gets
his dinner at about 6 p. M But
when they play night ball they can't
eat heavy before the game and It's
going to be one o'clock in the morn
ing before they have dinner.
Tougher, Now
1T wasn't so bad when there were
fewer night games" the Babe said
halting to wave to some friends and
puff on a cigar. But with this
greater number it's going to be hard
on their constitutions.
"Of course, 1 think it's going 10
be a good thing for the clubs, f.
nancially that is" Ruth added "It's
good for the fans, too-as long as
the ball players last"
Ruth, who set the still-existing
record for the most home runs IN
one season when he belted 60 in
1927, also forecast a less exactine
brand of major league baseball be-
cause of the men being drawn from
the game by the draft.
But anyhow, it's going to feel
good to get aho,d of that bat again, "
he said. I'm down to 223 pounds
and haven't felt better in 20 years.
He and Bill Dickey will appear
in the motion picture Pride OF the
Yankees" 1t is based on the life
OF their late teammate, Lou Gehrig
with whom they first formed the
Yanks' celebrated 'Murderers' Row.
Ruth's broad fact was etched with
deep grin as he escorted his wife
to their compartment. Hatless and
bundled in a camel hair topcoat, he
appeared to have recovered COM
pletely from recent illness which
hospitalized him for a week.
And then, as the train pulled out
the big fellow rashly waved boXed
birthday cake presented by friend
and chortled:

CONN and zALE
FIGURES TOUGH
FIGHT FRIDAY
Some Experts" Believe
Billy Has "Slipped"
Since Louis K. 0.

New York, Feb. 6-How much ef-
feet did the defeat by Joe Louis
have on the boxing ability OF Billy
Conn?
The answer may be provided at
Madison Square Garden next Fri
day night when Conn opposes Tony
Yale, world middleweight cham
pion, in contest scheduled for
twelve rounds.
But in the meantime there are
two schools of thought. There are
those who argue that Conn will
never be the same, that he hasn't
yet and never will recover from the
punishment he suffered at the
hands of Louis in the thirteeneth
and final round of the heavyweight
title bout at the Polo Grounds last
June.
In opposition to this theory, there
are those who contend that Conn
did not take severe punishment
from Louis, that he collapsed from
exhaustion as much as from Louis'S
punches, that he had extended him.
self to the utmost in the first IL
rounds of the Louis contest and
lacked the stamina to Withstand
Louis's assault in the thirteenth.
Slipping?
The opponents of the idea that
Conn is no longer the same fighter,
point, as evidence, to the two fights
Billy has had in the past few weeks,
against Henry Cooper in Toledo,
Ohio, and against j. d. Turner in
st. Louis. In each of these fights
Conn looked no part of a great
fighter. Indeed, he was sluggish
and slow and had no easy time
winning from opponents who GER
tainly cannot be classed as top
flight heavyWeights.
But this argument is discounted
by those on the other side of the
fence. Conn, they point out, wisely
took a long rest after the Louis
match. He is young and strong
and possesses excellent recuperative
powers and SO even if he did take
a beating from Louis, which they
doubt, he has recovered fully.
He looked slow against Cooper
and Turner, they hold, only because
he was just getting back into fight
ing form and had not yet reached
his peak. Those two fights were
Just what he needed and next Fri
day night he'll be the same old
Conn.
Well see.

BY "THE SPIDER"

Before daWning upon chattering
and remarks, ETC., here and there,
let us Wend our way and find out
how the various teams finished out
another evening in the hot" bowl
irg race of the Holy Name society
of st. Lucy's church in games play
ed at the Norh End :" Wednesday.
Winning couple of games apiece,
the Trailers and the Presidents con-
tinue to maintain deadlock for
first place; the Trailers knocking
over the powerful G-Men and the
Presidents pushed over the Sena-
tors. The Scouts sent the New
Dealers back again in the cellar by
taking two contests.
According to my own personal
records, I find that Winnie Ippolito,
the Clipper" of the Hamiltonian
environment. is the most improved
bowler in the league; that of late
games. At the beginning of the
race, Winnie just about Sneaked in
an 85-game, but showed no signs
of disappointment. Several weeks
back the clipper" acquired some
what of a slight tip position with
a small break in the knee that
helped to improve his bowling very
much. The clipper" now throws
in a couple of zoos.
There has been much controversy
for a fortnight upon the entrance
of Bomber" Lucia to the Scouts
lineup. The Scouts boosted their
ranks with lucia but much talk
against it was aired. Some bowl
ers see 1t that Lucia is too power
full to join with the Scouts, especial
ly at this time of the campaign,
which is on the home stretch. f. =.
Evidently nothing was done about

by two sticks in beating John Bri-
otis high single mark OF 157 when
he led the Scouts to 21-pin mar

would be no question that I would
