rida area will be without a major
league training camp.
The area is not. expected to feel
any ill effects, While considered
part of the winter season pro-
gram, baseball has not been held
to be much of a drawing card
when compared to the sports on
which there is betting.
Hotel rates have been advanc-
ed in recent years, along with
other prices, but they are al
ways fixed before the teams ever
decide definitely on their train
ing quarters. Their room and
meal rates are lower than the
tourists pay, but otherwise the
players run into the same high
figures as the visitors.
! The Pirates asserted they were
leaving Miami Beach because of
prices, the condition of the play
ing field and the sea breezes that
cooled the players off too quick
ly.
The Braves complained that
they were unable to get other
clubs to come to Fort Lauder
dale, 80 miles north of Miami
! because they could get more
money from larger gates else
where. The Browns said they Mi
ami because of the playing field
and prices.
Despite numerous attractions
to take baseball off the minds
of the players. manaoers have
reported little difficulty along
this line.
The south Florida area still
would welcome any major league
! team and efforts still are being
eXerted to bring them here. but
more and more they are bunch
ed on the west coast where the
jumps are short, enthusiasm
higher, gate receipts better and
prices lower.

horse racing, jal alal, the night
clubs, and the ocean and sun.
While high prices were blamed
largely for the Pittsburgh Pirates
quitting Miami Beach, the ST.
Louis Browns leaving Miami and
the Boston Braves farewell to
Fort Lauderdale, small crowds
at the exhibitions had much to
do with the decisions.
The Grapefruit League along
the Florida west coast and the
central part of the state will not
be disturbed. Baseball is a ma
jor attraction and life is quieter
there. The people follow the
game the year-round and meet
the players personally in the win
ter.
This is not the case along the
Cutlery east coast from West
Palm Beach south. The Miami area
has always welcomed baseball
teams and will at any time but
the sport can't possibly be a
paying attraction when it COM
petes with the tracks, the night
clubs and the beaches.
The Pirates will go to Hol-
lyWood and the Browns to San
Bernardino, Calf, and the Bra
yes will move over to BradentoWn
on the west coast of Florida to
join the Grapefruit family.

Commerce official suggested that

data on 2O6 applicants for day care
for their children for one month.
They learned that of the 206 moth
ers, 119 were working mothers, who
worked because it was necessary to
supplement the family income. A
large percentage of the applicants
are wives of men studying under the
GI bill. (Some of the mothers, ex-
servicewomen, are themselves STU
dents.) Seventy of the mothers were
the sole support of their families.
Illness or personality problems in
the home accounted for the remain
der of the women. Occasionally the
mother had left the home, perma-
nently or temporarily, as in the case
of woman faced with a lengthy
stay In tuberculosis sanitarium.o
Currently, Foster Day Care is
looking for women who are inter-
ested in caring for the children
of these working mothers during
the day. The agency is looking for
women who are genuinely interested
in children. Many Of the women
now serving as foster mothers are
young mothers raising their own
children, or grandmothers whose
children are raised. Sometimes q

Why Grow Old?

So. let us outline skeleton list
of things mother must have In the
day just for herself.
l. Enough sleep.
2. Some daily exercise. other than
cleaning house.
3. A couple of rest periods even
if they are short.
4. Time for skin fabrication and
cleansing and her daily bath.
S. Time for scalp massage and hair
brushing.
s. Time for self-eXpression in
hobby or some personal development.
7. Time for facial and neck eXer-
cises if she is much past thirty.
8. Time for good grooming such as
nail and hair care.
9. Some time alone, when she has
the opportunity to recoup spiritual
values through thoughtful solitude.
Most of these listed activities take
very little time and bring such big
results. Skin fabrication can be
combined with housecleaning or
ahead-of-schedule cooking. Fifteen
or 20 minutes a day spent In mat
exercises will suffice 1t is mainly a
question of giving such items the
Importance they deserve and thus
working them into a routine.

Theater
Notes

Opening night at the National

tonians Drawing the rain to turn
out to see and hear Maurice Cheva-
lier. The inimitable Chevalier did
right by his very well-dressed audi
ence, and occasionally we saw him
look up to one Of the theater's boxes
to gaze at most charming young
woman, dressed In bright red. This
Is THE color for fall, and perhaps
the brightness of 1t was what at
tracted M. Chevalier's glance. How
ever, in addition, this young lady
was most "love-lee," so If you are
"love-lee" and can wear red-go
ahead, don't stop!
Perhaps the varied new lengths
are the reason, but we saw more
little capes, stoles and short fur
jackets than we've seen in a long
time. There's a definite return to
dressing up for the theater, and
we spotted many an attractive din
ner dress. Bright wool evening coats,
studded with jewel embroidery and
theater suits in satin and taffeta
were seen. One young woman wore
brown satin, done in the new look
of full, ballerina length skirt and
tight, long -sleeved jacket, with a
small, round collar that had sequins
embroidered on it. With it she
wore brown suede closed-toe-and-

PAINT PROBLEM?
STOVE COMMENT

From Mrs. G. r. D., Arlington.)
Could some one tell me If water
paint should be washed off sand
finished walls before papering OF
painting with oil paint?
Some one asked how to keep
washed rag rugs from Tightening
and curling up. When drying you
should constantly press 1t every inch
or so to keep it fiat. Preferably
keep the rug lying fiat on a table
such as a dining room table. The
round rugs do better than the oval
