Monte Irwin
Surprised At
Trip To Minors

/ New York - When So year old
Monte Irwin got the news that he
had been sent down to the Min
! neapolis Millers with no chance to
ever return to the Giants, he was
extremely disappointed. These
were his words: "The way I was
playing, / thought I might be
traded to some club. But l didn't
expect that I could 60 like 1 did"
Monte will carry with him his
$4,000 salary and thus be about
the highest paid player in the
minors. He also has the promise
Of Giant Owner, Horace Stone
ham that the Giants will do
everything they can to bring him
back to the majors even though
he car never play with the Giants.
Said Stoneham-a loyal nan
who remembers how much Irwin
did for the. club in the miracle
of 81" when Monte blazed the
way to the pennant with his bat
IF Monte gets hot and some
other major league club bids for
his contract, the Minneapolis
club will SELL" The Giants own
Minneapolis and so can order the
club to do so.
With the Giants seven years
and a great favorite with both
the fans and the players, Monte
had his best year in 81 with a
.312 batting average. When he
broke his ankle the following
spring, he probably tried to get
back in action too SOC and so
was never the same again. Even
last year with the Giants winning
the pennant, Irwin wasn't half as
effective though he did much
damage to the Dodgers. He
leaves the Giants with a .253 bat
ting average though his overall
major league record is .299.

TruveI Hints

Negro motorists have more
problems to contend with than
any other disadvantaged group
in America!
The statement is rash, with
overtones Of rancor and bitter
ness, but it is true.
What are some of these prob
lens? First, the matter of find
ing decent places to sleep in near
ly every part of the country.
Negroes have been known to be
refused in Massachusetts, as well
as California, and they know,
without being told, that they just
can't find accommodations Gin
discriminatory in States where
mixing Of the races is illegal.
Second, in many Southern
States, the Negro motorist is
hard put to find gasoline service
stations where he and his fam
lily can use the rest rooms. In
most cases, it is not the fault OF
the company that sells the gas to
the operator; the william is the
owner of the station or the hired
help.
Third, the matter of getting a
good hot meal. It is common
practice for Negroes going on
long trips to carry enough food
to last a week. They know by
sad experience that to attempt
to find restaurants along the way
where they won't be embarrassed,
is well-nigh impossible, especially
in the South and some places in
the Midwest.
There are other problems but

Beauty
Secrets
By Rose Morgan OF New York
IFS Tn YOur Hands

By Rose Morgan Of New York
It's In Your Hands
Housework getting under your
skin? Take a look at your hands
and e if it really is. If they
are rough, sometimes chapped
and painful, with hangnails a.
round the cuticle, it is time for
you to give them a bit of needed
attention.
In addition to the care Of the
hands by a professional, a good
deal can be done by each, individ-
ual woman to protect the beauty
Of her hands and nails.
To prevent drying of the flesh
of the hands (where age will tell
on you even though your face
hasn't a wrinkle) be careful a.
bout putting them in too much hot
water. Use rubber gloves at
dish washing time or when doing
the laundry, so that strong soaps
and very hot water don't have a
chance to coarsen your skin. Keep
your hand cream or lotion not
only in the bathroom, but also
close to your washing areas. Use
it freely each time you take your
hands out of water.
When the cuticle around the
nails becomes rough and broken,
give it a simple beauty treatment
every time you wash your rands.
AS you dry with a soft towel,
gently push back the flesh around
the nails. working toward always
keeping it from hardening against
the base of the nail.
Rub a rich cream into the cuti-
cles nightly, and any time during
the day you happen to think Of it.
This procedure will help to prevent
splitting of the nails at the tip
and also halt the lines which
sometimes form on the nail from
injured cuticle.
To relieve chapping and rough
ness, massage the hands and a.
round the nails with a rich skin
cream. Then dig out a pair Of
old cotton gloves from your draw
er and sleep in them for a night
or two. You'll be amazed at the
way your hands will respond to
this attention.
M~eticulous attention to the
cleanliness of the hands and nails
is, of course, absolutely necessary.
The most beautiful skin can lose
its charm when stains and dirt
are ground into the flesh around
the nails.
It's a good policy to remember
that your beauty secrets are Of
ten Sin your hands,"
