SPORTS PARADE

in; but I'll be out there before it's
over" He seemed eager to face the
Yanks again.
We watched his facial muscles
for tell-tale jerk, and his eyes
for a give-away shift. We watched
for some clue that might indicate
he was merely whistling past the
graveyard. But there was no be-
traying signal that he feared the
Yanks or anyone in an American
league uniform, despite printed in
situations to the contrary-hints
of an American league complex
because of his pitching failure in
two games of last years series with
the Yanks, and because of his poor
performances in the past two all
star games
ANSWERS QUESTIONS
Cooper, just off the train from
st. Louis, stood there in the busy
hotel lobby-beside his slender
wife, Bernadine and answered
questions with grinning frankness.
What was wrong with his prev
ious pitching against American
leaguers? the kind Of pitching
that had made him such a success
in the national circuit-that had
given him 81 victories against
eight defeats this season, and 142
strikeouts.
Il think I've been giving those
boys the wrong kind of diet" he
said. Il believe I've got it figured
out-what was wrong, I mean. No,
I can't tip my mitt about that now.
Well Just have to wait till I get in
there this time, and let those Yanks
find out for themselves-what a
change of diet will do"
His brown eyes sparkled like
those of a man who had made a
happy discovery. Bernadine's eyes
sparkled too. He must have told
her the big secret.

Pointing to his record of % years in
the legislature and as l~ieutenant-gov-
ernor and acting-governor, the speaker
stated he based his plea for promotion
to governor on the record he had made.
Among the things he has favored in
the past, many of them he claims to be
the first to sponsor, are: originating
the plan for the state to provide treat
ments and operations in private hos
pitfalls for those who could not pay;
creating a department whereby crippled
children may be educated, have hos
pital and surgical treatment, and be
taught how to carr a living for them
selves; being instrumental in securing
the immediate increase of two million
dollars in the public school appropria-
ton that raises salaries for school
teachers and school bus operators could
be made for next session; passage Of
the free textbook law.
1t. Gov. Murphree said that if the
good people of Mississippi saw fit to
elevate him to the office to which he
aspires among the things he will do
hayo 0poy-oc-you-uoO ADMIN.
istration of the states affairs in
as careful and business-like manner
as a man would handle his own business
affairs; will recommend to the state
legislature the building of a home for
incurables on the state land at Whit
field, neal the present Insane Hospital;
increase old age pensions; favor home
stead exemption; increase of appropria-
tions to further promote and expand
All clubs, vocational schools, Future
Farmers of America and other youth
organizations, so as to make farms
attractive and profitable to young peo-
pie; do everything in his power to
foster and develop the business of live
stock raising in the state; appoint
farmers on college, hospital and forestry
boards, etc.; educate the returning SOL
diers free and cooperate in every way
to provide them with jobs; a fifty mil
lion dollar farm-to-market road build
ing program to be built with gasoline
tax money.
Gov. Murphree would spend a part Of
the states eighteen million dollar sur
plus in enlarging the facilities of the
State tuberculosis Sanatorium; he
would also create a revolving fund Of
about $250,000 to be used to educate
worthy boys and girls who can who
can study medicine in order to relieve
the shortage of doctors and dentists
in the state.

on our chapter to supply return trans
portation to that camp, and which call
vised to do so by the Military-not be-

Maternity Care For Servicemen's Wives
More than three-fourths of the states
have received approval by the Chill
dren's Bureau, Department of Labor, of
programs for medical and hospital ma
ternity care for wives of men i'm the
four lowest pay grades of the armed
services. The programs also include
medical care for babies. A serviceman's
wife may make application for complete
medical care dnring pregnancy and
childbirth, and for six weeks after
childbirth. She may also apply for
medical care for her child to extend
throughout the child's first year of
lie, To get such care. all that the wife
needs to do is to fill out simple forms,
which, if her own doctor is unable to
furnish copies, she can get from the
State health department.
No Gas To Go To Gardens
Special rations of gasoline for travel
to Victory gardens were discontinued
July II, although ~rations already issued
Tor this purpose may be used as long
as valid. This action was taken by OPA
upon advice of the Department of Agri-
culture that gardens planted after that
date would be too late to produce
enough food to warrant extra use of
tires and gasoline in cultivating them.
Co-Ops Can Replace Stocks
FARMERS cooperatives and any other
dealers who sell farm supplies at cost
or at a markup of not more than three
percent are permitted to replenish
stocks on farmers certificates on a
dollar-for-dollar basis, under recent
amendment of Priorities Regulation No.
10. Previously, the dealer could use
the farmers certificate to get supplies
only up to rs percent of his sales. The
amendment enables farmers cooperat-
ives which sell approximately at cost
to make full replacement of their stock.
Can't Send Recordings Overseas
Discs or recordings containing per-
sonal messages cannot be sent to sol
diers stationed outside the continental
limits of the U. s., the War Depart
ment has announced. There is no OBJ
lection to sending discs of personal mes
sages within the continental United
