WAR ON CUTWORMS 10 SAVE
YOUR VICTORY GARDEN


The Victory Gardner who hesit-
ates at the first threat of insect
pests has to engage in a real fight
later. Victory Garden headquarters
al the u. S. Department of Agricult-
ure reminds gardeners that one of
the early season pests is the cut
worm. and suggests methods of war
on cutworms. one of the most wide
ly distributed garden pests.
Cutworms attack plants freshly
transplanted-often the first night
they are in The garden-and some
other plants-particularly sweet
corn in the day or two after they
push above the soil surface.
For small gardens, paper collars
will provide good protection. Paper
about the size of a penney postcard
and about as stiff makes a good
collar if bent into a cylinder and
pinned or tied to hold its shape.
With deft fingers and a little
practice, collars al be set without
pinning or tying. An anti-cutworm
collar should extend an inch into
the soil and about two inches above
the surface.
For larger gardens, cutworm bait
is the standard remedy for cutworm
trouble. The worms prefer bran
even to tomato or cabbage plants.
A good wartime bait is made from
5 pounds of bran and 4 ounces of
" -I
moistened with enough water to
make a crumbly mass to 4 quarts.
Mix the bait in the morning and
scatter it in early evening, before
the Woodworking worms start the
attacks. Spread the bait freely after
transplanting, or better still, say
the Federal entomologists-bait the
area two or three nights before
transplanting.

Study 10 Reduce Cost
OF Housing Urged by
Architects Institute

Douglas w. Orr, chairman of the
Public Relations Committee of the
American Institute of Architects,
today declared that housing costs
must be brought more nearly into
line with the incomes of prospective
| buyers and users
In statement Mr. Orr urged that
combined studies" be instituted Ito
cut housing costs all along the line
from the cost of land, taxation and
financing, through the cost of the
building itself" He added that
such studies would require "collab-
orative effort of all those interested
in meeting the housing problem"
A great need today, he asserted
Is for production of well-built. low
cost homes. The majority of pro-
spect1ye home owners are in the
moderate and low income groups,
with average-Size families" he said
TO such families, security is rep
resented by continuing comfort at
home, and they hope that private
enterprise will offer them the real
ization of their ideal"
Mr.. Orr explained that it would
not be advisable to go about the
task of reducing costs through "us-
ing cramped room sizes and cheap
materials"
Room sizes in many cases have
been reduced to an absurdity and
many materials, while cheap in
original cost, are expensive in main
tenance cost and in replacement" !"
he continued. Materials and con-
struction methods must be simpli-
fed to produce structurally sound.
adequate, healthful homes"
He pointed out that private enter
prise already had done a great deal
more in housing families of low in
comes than is generally acknowl-
edged" and explained that more than
half of the 100000 home owners
purchasing single-family houses are
paying monthly installments of less
than $40.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June l9.-The
job of shaping a football team
capable of defending the Western
Conference championship begins in
earnest today for Coach Carroll
Widdoes of Ohio State. The Bucks
were unbeaten and united last year.
"Wid" greeted 116 candidates yes
terday at the opening of the six
week summer practice session.
Heading quartet of regulars
from last years team was Bill
Hackett, all-America guard. The
others are Linemen Warren Amling
and Russ Thomas and Fullback
Ollie Cline. Nine other 1914 re-
serves donned uniforms.
The coaching staff expressed salts
faction over the size of the turnout
and said the group appeared heavier
and rangier than last years squad.
The staff has its work cut out, how
ever, to replace such stars as all
America Les Horvath, Bill Willis
and Jack Dugger.
The squad got up an impromptu
touch" football game before the
assembly and ex-Servicemen Paul
Sarringhaus, star back on the Bucks
1912 championship team, showed he
still had speed and passing ability
as he led one of the sides.
Widdoes is starting his first season
as official head coach, getting the
title when 1t. Paul Brown of the
Navy resigned to coach the Ceve-
land entry in the postwar pr5fes-
sional American Conference. Wild
does was acting coach while Brown

CHICAGO, June 19.-There may
be bit of pennant fever in the
jungle of the Detroit Tigers, now
leading the American League, but
it's not apparent.
1--WE aren't talking about it," Man
ager Steve O'Neill said here today
We're just trying to win one game
after another. We hope we win
enough of them"
The Bengal boss man wasn't t
skeptical as he looked on down the
pennant trail. but he wouldn't pre-
dict anything.
1--WE haven't played so games yet,
he said. "A lot can happen before
we finish out our schedule in Oc-
tober.
mo, none of the boys are talking
pennant. They're just out there
playing, one game at time"
But with the season a third gone
and the Tigers a game ahead of the
American League pack despite three
straight losses to Chicago's White
Sox, there were plenty of followers
who almost were ready to concede
Detroit its first pennant since 1884.
Bank on Greenberg.
One reason, of course, is the an
ticipated return to top form of
Hank Greenberg, Tiger slugger who
went from a $55,0O0-a-year job to a
$500 job when he donned the khaki
of the Army more than four years
ago. Greenberg will rejoin the club
in Detroit Tuesday.
He says he is in good shape
physically but hasn't been playing
any baseball. He probably won't
be able to play for two or three
weeks" O'Neill said. "It won't take
him long and we're all hoping-and
Greenberg, too-that he'll be able
to clout that ball like he did before
he left here"
Greenberg, whose batting records
include .339 in 1894, a .348 in 1886
and $40 in 1910. twice was selected
the leagues most valuable player
during his eight full seasons with
Illc 1lSeTS.
Counts ON Benton's Return.
O'Neill also can count on the re-
turn of AL Benton, right-handed
hurler who won five straight before
he suffered broken bone in his
leg a few weeks ago, to strengthen
his stretch drive.
But with Greenberg back in the
line-up-if he plays like the
| "Hankus -Pankus" of four years age
- Benton back to strengthen a
somewhat wobbly mound corps, Ii
didn't seem the Tigers could be
knocked off the top roost.
I'VE still need another pitcher OF
two to help Dizzy Trout and Hal
Newhouser carry the load" O'Neill
said
I'VE just don't have the mound
strength. The hitters are called on
for two much. But we all hope we'll
be there next October-if we can
win game at time and keep our
heads above water from now until
then"

The National League pennant
probably would be a cinch for the
Brooklyn Dodgers If they could play
the Giants at Ebbets Field all the
time.
Branch Rickey's ''Ferocious Gen.
tlemen" pelted the Giants last night
for the sixth straight time at the
Brooklyn park. They rallied to tie
the score in the ninth and won out,
2 to l, in the 18th on Howie Schultz S
single with the bases loaded.
A crowd of 29,866 saw the Dodgers
tighten their grip on first place.
Dixie Walker singled home Goody
Rosen with the tying run in the
ninth and drew a base on balls in
the 18th to help set the stage for
Shultz.
The Giants loaded the sacks with
one out in the top of the 18th, but
muffed their chance when Ernie
Lombardi and Napolean Reyes
popped out. The defeat dropped the
Ottmen to fourth place.
The Detroit Tigers, American
League pace-setters, took it on the
chin for the third straight time from
the Chicago White Sox, to 0. Bill
Dietrich celebrated his return to the
mound, after an operation to his
elbow, by outpitching Dizzy Trout.
A squeeze-play bunt by Catcher
Mike fresh won the game for the
Sox in the last of the ninth. The
ball rolled along the third base line

NEW YORK, June 19.-The stars
Of the major league hitting parade
remain the same but the supporting
cast is entirely different this week
with Tommy Holmes of Boston the
hero for the National League and
Tony Cuccinello of Chicago for the
American loop.
Using games through Sunday as
their script, Holmes and Cuccinello
retained their league leaderships
while the remainder of the big 10
in each circuit underwent a wild
shakeup.
Holmes dropped a lone point to
1886, still the best aggregate in the
majors. Cuccinello skidded two
points to .347 for the best in Amer
lean League.
Whitley Kurowski of the ST. Louis
Cards is the runnerup to Holmes
although his 1857 average is off
point from that of a week ago.
Mel OFT of New York dropped from
second to third when his average
sank from .37l to 1854.
Nick Etten of the Yankees. saw
10 points melt from his total but
his remaining 1928 was good enough
to keep Bobby Estalella of Phila-
