 NEW YORK, Sept. 27-Looking at the National League race by tel escope, this dept. wouldn't be sur prised now to see the pennant go to the Cardinals in spite of their tendency to let down after a couple of tough games. That blowup the Cubs staged in the seventh in ming yesterday was the biggest of it's kind since the recent Florida hurricane and teams don't recover quickly from that sort of thing.

Maybe you've wondered how much a homerun is worth to a baseball fan. . Well, last night at Portland something happen d which might throw some light on the subject. Danny Escobar of the Beavers hit a two-run homer to win the game against Seattle. j. Eight thousand fans saw the stunt ?. And to show their appreciation they tossed $81 in small change on the field. l. <. So, you could figure that homerun was worth one cent to each fan.

Simpson, wearer of the Dis

tells it, the boys thought
they should get together
for dinner once a year TO
keep in touch with one an Y

Soon there were 20 men, ----
bers of the Guinea Pig Club.
Last year there were almost
200. Today there are nearly 400.
They laid down this tenet:
ITO become a member, you must
have been one of a flying crew OF
the Royal Air Force in this war and
TO have been so severely injured in
combat or on operational duties that
you fell into the hands Of the plastic
surgeons of a well-known hospital in
Southern England"
The original purpose of the club
expanded and now the members are
determined to help one another TO be-
come adjusted in civilian life after
the war. Many are pledged to volun-
teer for whatever operations or treat
ments doctors think might contribute
to their welfare.
It is a grim business that goes on
in the hospital, for these men are
truly wrecks of humanity. But there
is no sadness or complaint. DR.. A. II.

Aw heroic men-populate a unique
hospital in Southern England, where
plastic .surgeons-by trial and error

ugly wounds of war.
The patients comprise an eXclu-

the Royal Air Force manned in the
line of duty, and only once when
life was in the balance, has a woman
been treated there since the war.
The surgery being accomplished
is frankly experimental, and large
measure of its success is due to the
perfect concurrence of the filters
with the doctors. Most of the airmen
are so badly injured they know they
cannot face the world as they are,
so they willingly cooperate on a
chance they will help themselves and
those who come after them.
Their devotion to the cause is so
sincere that they have formed the
worlds most select organization
the Guinea Pig Club-and many of
them have dedicated their lives to
the current scientific experiment so
that medical knowledge may profit
by their injuries.
The club was started in 1871. Six

quest of their main river barrier,
the Rhine.
Such Rhineland streams as the
Mosel, the Roer, and the Saar have
taken their places in the history of
the second World War, along with
the Abr, whose little bridgehead at
Remagen burst suddenly into fame
when Yank forces first corssed the
Rhine by way of the bridge there
which the Germans had surprising
ly left intact.
Before the Allied invasion, the
Rhineland was one of Germany's
most fertile and productive regions.
Outstanding was the cultivation Of
vineyards. rising thickly along the
terraced hillsides of river banks.
From it's highlands, its broad mea-
dows and sheltered valleys came
rye, wheat, barley, oats, corn, and
potatoes; sugar beets, fruits, tobac-
CO, and garden vegetables. Its for
est resources supported wood carv-
ing and other time tested local
trades. It's coal deposits, together
with the still greater concentrations
of mines and factories in the near
by Ruhr and Saar areas, provided
power and material for the many
big and middlesized industrial cen
tiers that lined the banks of the
Rhine, and clustered here and there
to the west.
Transportation in this part Of
Europe is especially well develop
ed. A close-m eshed network of rail-
roads and highways covers the
Rhineland. A trunk line parallels
the great river, and is fed nor
mally by lines reaching it from all
directions. The Rhine itself is one
of Europe's chief trade arteries,
carrying vast quantities of coal,
iron, timber, grain, and manufac-
tured goods. Commercially val
liable in peace, this traffic became
in war a vital source of supply and
transport for the Nazis.
Gateway for Invasion
Geography and politics have
made the Rhineland an historic
buffer territory. Because its north
ern and central sections offer an
accessible gateway into France by
way of the Belgian lowlands and
Luxembourg, it was along this path
that the Germans struck in the op-
ening drives of both the first and
second World Wars. Again, late in
1914, after the Allied invasion of
Germany, this region was used by
the Nazis to launch the counter at
tack which became known as the
Battle of the Bulge.''
After the first World War, French
authorities declared that the Rhine
land had been made by the Ger
