like her older sister, Anna, who
had been an excellent All Cloth

cotton with deep blue print.

Chief Abbot also told his audi

States he learned many good
things" in our country which he

He especially was impressed by the
Americans Christian attitude. very

world, and described it as a most
beautiful link in the American way

Like the late Mahatma Gandhi

ism. should be the driving force
Of mankind.
In explaining that one of the main
purposes of his coming here was TO
promote better relations between his
country and our nation, the distin-

The "tatami" rooms have sliding

On the garden side. there is 4

Shaving Now Better
Than Stone Age

The custom OF shaving can be
blamed on love and male vanity,
judging from information compiled
by research experts for the new
World Book Encyclopedia.
According to the researchers,
primitive men h k e d off their
boards with a hatchet and then
cut or pulled out the stubble with
hunting knife.
The motivation for this self-in-
flicted torture is believed to have
been provided when a Stone Age
fashion plate glanced into the still
waters of a pool. Reflected was
the awful image of red-rimmed
eyes and the tip of a nose protrud-
ing through the background of
grizzly whiskers.
Realizing things couldn't be
worse, this brave soul Laid his chin
on a tree stump and went to work
on the beard.
Later, SCARED but whiSkerless,
he wooed and won his heartthrob,
and got permanent housekeeper
for his cave.
Today, the equipment Is better
but the principles are the same.

as Luke had planned-he powered
it far and high into the centerfield
bleacherS for one of the longest
homers ever seen in Wrigley Field.
If Easter is a ShreWd and cum
ming hitter he is also an angry one,
and the pitcher who attempts a
dustoff will find himself out of the
box in hurry. In the Padres op-
ening series of the season, against
Hollywood in San Diego, Pinky
Woods, the hothead hurler of the
Stars, threw a deliberate duster at
Luke in the sixth inning. Luke, in
order to escape possible serious
injury, hit the dust in an awful
hurry, got off the ground slowly,
busted off his uniform, rubbed his
hands together and took his place
in the batter's box.

editors NOte-This is the Sec
ond Of a series of four articles
running in the Arizona Sun tell
ing of the sensational rise of
"Luke Easter to baseball star
dom.)
Luke barely missed making it
work by an accident in 1941 which
almost cost his life and which set
his career back for close to five
years. In June of that year he and
a friend named Sammy Jethroe
were driving from st. Louis to
Memphis to take in a Negro Am
erican League game, when the car
they were driving hit another in an
almost head-on crackup. Luke suf-
fered severe breaks of both ankles
and could hardly walk for the next
two years. And it wasn't until 1916
that he could play baseball again
regularly. (The Sammy Jethroe,
who was in the car and who es-
capped serious injury is, by the way,
the same Sammy Jethroe owned
by the Brooklyn Dodgers and cur
rently burning up the basepaths
for Montreal in the international
League.)
Luke worked in the chemical
plant until short time after Pearl
Harbor and then went into the
Army. He was in 13 months, then
was given a medical discharge be-
cause his bad ankles would not hold
up under the pounding. Upon get
ting out he went to work in a
Portland shipyard, staying there
until the end of the war in Europe.
Gle was a member of the CIO
Shipbuilding Workers but never at
tended meetings because the Negro
workers were jimcrowed.)
From Portland, Easter made his
way to Chicago where, in the sum-
mer of 1945, he wandered by Wash
ington Park and clouted that pinch
hit home run. It was that homer,
perhaps, which decided Luke upon
a career in baseball, so he made
contact with Negro team called
the Cincinnati Crescents and in
1916 began his pro career. He piled
up a rousing .407 average for the
season, whereupon a scout for the
most famous team in the Negro
major leagues, the mighty Home

It is not an uncommon practice
in Arizona's hot valleys to strip
draperieS and curtains from win
dows for summer months. Heavy
bedspreads may give way to light
washable ones, too. These changes
bring storage problems.
Some household cottonS, such as
curtains and spreads, are stored
