 Now that the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates have started the horsehide rolling with the Gus tire- Mccullough swap, the general feeling is the minor league con- vsntion will really start humming with big league deals.
 The Chicago White Sox, busiest traders of the off-season thus far, make no bones about their hope of turing third baseman Bob Dillirg- CT from the St. Louis Browns, first baaeman Edd.e Robinson from the Cleveland club. and pitchee Allie Reynolds from the Nay zerk Yankees.
 The New York Giants want pitcher Johnny Wander Nicer from Cincinnati. They have offered sec end .bassman Billy Rigneys The deal is hot right now. Ironically, tae Reds tried awfully hard to swap Vandy to the Giants for Rig nsy last year, but were turned down.
 The National League champion Boston Braves have been making .o1ertures to Pittsburgh for out lielders Ralph Kiner and Wally Westlake, hut have not gotten very far.
 The Giants were all set to make an announcement yesterday, but changed their minds at the last minute. It is no secret they were after catcher Clyde Mccullough and soutnpaw pitcher Cliff Cham kers of the Cubs. However, when che two were traded to the Pir- ates for third baseman Frank Gus- tine and rookie righthander Call vsn McLish, it left the Giants out in the cold

Insecticide Toxic,
Rose Aide Warns

DR.. Freeman A. Weiss, chairman
of the Instruction Committee of the
Potomac Rose Society, has issued a
statement correcting an erroneous
impression gained from talk on
insecticides delivered April 2 before
the Rose Institute.
In a report of the institute, pub
lished the following day in The Star,
reference was made to DR.. Weiss
description of chemicals that make
plants immune to insect attack when
placed in the soil around the plants
This chemical, sodium selenate,
has been used by greenhouse opera
tors to control red spider mites and
aphids on phlox and chrysanthe-
NUNS, but was not advised for use
with roses.
It is extremely toxic to man and
animals, DR.. Weiss explained, and
should never be used where it may
come in contact with plants that are
to be used for food. 1t Is consid-
cred too dangerous for general use.

Souls in Torment and Bliss
Described in Dante'S Poem

frozen place which contained Judas
and Satan.
Later parts of the poem are more
cheerful. Virgil took Dante out Of
the inferno to the side of the noun
tain of Purgatory. The poet said
the spirits on this mountain were
suffering, but that they were expect
ing to get away from their troubles
after a time and enter Heaven.
Greeted by Beatrice.
At the entrance to the lowest
heaven, Virgil turned to go back to
Limbo, but Dante was greeted by
Beatrice, the woman whom he had
loved while she was on earth. She
took Dante to the Heaven of the
Moon, to the Heaven of the Sun and
to seven other heavens.
In his young manhood, shortly
after the death of Beatrice, he wrote
the Vita Nova" or Young Life" a
collection of both poetry and prose.
In it he promised that in due time
he would write about Beatrice in a
way a woman never before had been
described. He was true to his word
when he wrote the section OF the
great poem dealing with Paradise.
Dante's remains still rest at Ra-
VIENNA, Italy, where he died in exile
at 56.

Uncle Rays Corner

In his poem, THE Divine Com
edy," the famous italian named
Dante takes us with him on an
amazing journey. The poem gives
us his ideas of Heaven, He'll and
Purgatory.
After being lost in a forest, Dante
wrote, he was greeted by the spirit
of the old Roman poet Virgil, who
lived in Limbo with other noted fig
ures, including Homer and Horace
These spirits, he declared, were in
the first circle of the inferno, but
they did not suffer because they had
lived good lives. They were not per-
mitted to enter Heaven only because
they had not been members of the
Christian faith.
Virgil Guided Him.
Virgil guided the visitor through
horrible parts of the inferno. He
saw spirits being pelted with hail
while a fierce dog bit them. Other
spirits were lying on red-hot beds
and still others had turned into
stunted trees which bore poisonous
fruit. At another place, black
winged demons were forcing spirits
to dive into boiling pitch.
The lowest pit of the inferno, ac-
cording to Dante, was a cold and
