With laying houses ready for win
ter, egg profits r not so much af-
fected by winter weather.
Patch the laying house roof. Stop
those leaks. Cover those cracks in
the walls with battons, or other ma
~terials. Close those openings in the
back of the house that are not need
ed for light and ventilation. Close
any openings in the house that would
cause drafts. Provide roll curtains
of white feed sacks to roll down over
the front opening on extremely cold
nights.
Stop up those openings under the
house where the cold wind whistles
up between the stills and the ground
Bank up around the house with dirt,
especially on the north side. Ditch
ing around the house may be neces-
sary to drain away the water.
Build up dirt floor to 6 to 8 inches
above the grade level by filling ir
dirt. Or better yet, use gravel anc
clay moistened and packed hard
This helps keep the laying house
dry.
Clean up the premises. Haul away
refuse. Clean, disinfect and store
summer equipment that will not be
used this winter.

Seven cases of Scarlet Fever in
Holmes county now and the season
is just beginning. Let me urge all
parents and teachers to be on the
alert each morning for symptoms
such as slight fever and sore throat
etc. If these symptoms develop at
home, please keep the child in, bet
ter still put him to bed. II they de-
velop at school please send it home.
Better far for one child to loose a
few days from school than to take
chances on exposing the whole
school to Scarlet Fever. On account
Of so much scarlet fever and trench
mouth, let me urge all school lunch
room operators to be most vigilant
in sterilizing all dishes and table
ware.

Dodson 67, Metz 68 Lead
 St. Paul Field
BY WALTER BYERS United Press Staff Correspondent

St. Paul, Minn., July 21-UP)- Leonard Dodson, golf's reformed clown prince" was the man to beat today as second round play gets under way in the 72-hole St. Paul Open.
 Dodson staged a story book fin ish when he blazed a five under par 67 over the Keller Country Club course yesterday to take a one-stroke lead on the Holman field and to show that at long last he has become a businessman golf CT.
 Now 32, and slim 15O pounds, the Kansas City, Mo, veteran has dropped the devil-may-care clown ing and betting which made him the games merry-maker during 1941 when he was a big money winner
 He played the rolling fairways and pint-sized greens for keeps yes terday. Shooting the tough puts, on which he often used to wager anything and everything, Dodson played the ball with a furrowed- brow concentration more familiar on anyone but him.
 Dick Metz, the Kansas cowboy, was leading the field with a 68 when Dodson finished his first nine with a 35, one under par. Then ,Dodson fired four birdies, three in row, one the incoming nine for 8 four-under-par 32. Not once during the 18 holes did he slip to a bogie.
 Unattached
 DodSon dropped out of the big tournament play after his out standing Al and AZ seasons and has been working as club pro since, his latest job being at San Francisco. Now he's back, un- attached, trying for a comeback as are so many of the games former stars in this Byron Nelson-less tournament.
 Metz, former Ryder Cup star, is making his first tournament ap- pearance since 1922. He knitted to- gether four birdies and 14 pars yes- terday for his 68, which apparently was good for second place until two other veterans came in to tie him.

JAKUCKI HAS
 FOOLED MOST
 B. B. EXPERTS
BY CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Staff COrersuOndent


 New York July 21 = (UP) - The wise guys took a first look at Sig mund Jakucki's pitching and guess ed that the strawberry roan" of the St. Louis Browns soon would be back on the Texas sandlots as a semi-pro.
 That was in 1914 during the first swing around the circuit for the amazing Browns, whose followers hadn't got used to them leading the league. The Browns might stay up there, they hoped crossing their fingers, but Jakucki-not much chance. He just didn't look like a big leaguer. Today the Browns are back and Jakucki is up but they aren't. How neatly the Galveston, Tex. paper-hanger fooled the ex- perts makes one of the most pleasant success stories of war time baseball and the scoffers now are pulling hard for him to make the grade in peacetime.
 The two-fisted New Jersey Polish rookie-veteran, who is a native of Camden but spent most of his life in Texas hasn't much pitching style and can't tell you himself "how I get the ball up there"
 T just throw 'em there" he said. My sinker works best but I throw anything and I never know where I am going to throw from. Some times what I start out to throw turns out to be something else"
 Bag Of Tricks
 The Yankees wouldn't know how he does it but were ready to testify today that the ex-star of Ray Du- mont's semi-pro tournament at Wichita Kan. brought along a fine bag of tricks when he came to the Majors.
 Big Sig used both his bat and his arm to beat the Yankees 4 to 3, yes- terday and old Al Hollingsworth fol- lowed with one of his better days, winning the second game, to 2, to give the Browns a sweep. Jakucki, leading Brownie pitcher, won his 10th game against six defeats. He scattered eight hits and didn't walk man. He and Boris Martin hit homers in the opener; Milt Byrnes led the winning drive in the sec ond game with homer.
 Washington turned the tables on the leading Tigers, moving back within three games of the top with 1 to 3 and to 1 victories. Well pitched games by Emil Leonard and Roger Wolff provided the margin Leonard won his 11th game in the opener, scattering eight hits. He also scored what proved to be the winning run after singling Wolff's

MUELLER TAKES. MOUND AGAINST
 ALLENTOWN SOx

The Brasscos start all over again tonight, hoping to engineer another 11-game victory string but the pickings for their 18th game of the campaign are4anything but lean. In meeting the Allentown Red Sox at 8;45 at Municipal Stadium, the Brasscos face strong opposition from Joe Calls aggregation of met ropolitan stars, the majority of whom have played minor league ball.
 Mueller vs HoIboroa
 Manager Fred Davi plans to start Warren Mueller, former Hartford left handler, with Johnny Taylor, Teddy Grabeck and Junior Thomas in reserve. The latter has pitched only three innings this year but he will see more action starting next week when Mickey DeLuccia joins the club as first baseman and spare pitcher. DeLuccia will play with the Meriden Contelcos on Sundays but show here in the weekly night con- tests.
 John Holboroa, a sturdy right handler with considerable profess sional experience, will pitch for the Red Sox tonight.
 The Sox infield will line up with Dick Tota at first; Den Healey at second; Tony Cincotta at shortstop; and Frank Bruno at third. The out field will show George Flakenberg in left, George Hennessy in center, and Ed Nolan in right. Frank Mr. tini will catch.

 Teen Age Player Poll
 To Be Resumed
 With two weeks in which to 00 some extra campaigning behind them, the teen-age players in the City leagues poll to decide who shall represent Waterbury in the Na- tional Addition game at Shibe park in Philadelphia, August IS, is due to get some added impetus. Jack Reardon, Brooklyn A. c. first base- man, is at present leading with 13,- 700 votes but runner-up Joe Aufiero of Mary Abbott as well as Jimmy Piersall of Leavenworth, Jim Max well of the Tribunes, Jim Steck of Crosby and Herb Carlone of Leav- enworth are due to draw heavy votes tomorrow which should cut deeply into Reardon's lead Of S,70O.

BROOKLYN X. 6. vS. WASHINGTON
 HILLS FEATURE

It's 'do-or-die" for those time honored athletic rivals, the Brook lyn A. c. and Washington Hills, when their respective entries in the hectic City Amateur league race clash in the main go of tomorrow's double-header at Hamilton park. The Brooks-Hills setto is ticketed for 4 o'clock production while the league-leading Tribunes and Bran ford Townies clash at 2. The Avig- lanense A. c. take to the road for a league game with Hamden's Townies at Hamden's beautiful Rockford field.
 A Brooklyn Washington Hill clash never did need realm of ballyhoo whether it was in baseball, basket ball or ping-pong and that goes for tomorrow's crucial diamond tilt. A defeat for either will lose for them any mathematical chance of catch ing the Tribes who right now seem destined to get their strongest com- petition from here in from the Avigs.
 l Uc 11111o IAdQ IAlC AllAoAOA OuAAC OA being deprived of their punch two weeks ago when Ralph Bradley and Corp. Al Kinds were lost in transit from their Boston Army Base but that will not happen tomorrow be- cause the two sluggerS have assured Mgr. Pat Quilter that they will be on hand at game time. Bradley will probably get the call for mound duty to stop the rambuctious young Brooklyns but big Slim" Newberry, the Arkansas "cork-screw" delivery exponent is also expected to be here on frlrlough from the Boston Navy Yard and will be ready at a mo- ment's notice for any emergency.
 Chuck Althausen and George Pond will comprise the B. A.. c. starting battery and the Bridgeport pair is fully capable of handling anything that the Hills have to offer. Jimmy Crichton and Joe Mo- bile will team up to handle the um- piring duties.
