" t It wasn't so long ago that Clark Griffith was a determined opponent of the night game. But the situation has changed. Mr. Griffith is one of the most radical advocates of the. electrically-lighted sport. There's a good reason for Griffith's change oPheart. Washington is glutted with federal employes who couldn't take time off for an afternoon game. They did want baseball, but had to have it in the cool of the evening. Logic--and business acumen-- dictated the answer to Griffith. Washington now is the night baseball center of the major leagues. Griffith has permission to play as many night games as he desires, except on Sundays or holidays. Many changes have come to pass during the past 12 years. Of the 15 major league clubs, all but 5 have facilities for night baseball. Those 5 fields remaining in the dark are Fenway park and Braves field in Boston, Wrigley field in Chicago, Brlggs stadium In Detroit and the Yankee stadium in New York. These parks couldn't install the powerful batteries of lights on their steel towers BOW if they wanted to, becMM^iren though the ban en i|<V construction was lifted not long ago, the material required isn't likely to b* available until after the war. The Evidence Not that General Electric will go into rhapsodies, but we're in favor of night baH. Joe Doakes, the boy who helps turn out materials for i war, deserves a break. He probably ! likes baseball. But he can't knock j off the job Thursday afternoon to i see the Yanks and White Sox battle. Night baseball provides the answer. Joe can see the game. He is happy. And Joe, multiplied a few hundred thousand times, makes the baseball club treasurer, happy. The case of the Southern association is proof of the value of the night game. This fine organization practically owes its existence to Mr. Edison's incandescent lamp. All games except those on Saturdays. Sundays and holidays are played at night in Billy Evans' circuit. Evans wasn't wild about night baseball when he resigned from the Boston Red Sox and took over the presidency of the association. It didn't take him long to find out that the lights made the difference between black and red in the ledger. Association cities which formerly attracted 300 on week days now draw 3,000 in the hush of the evening. The preponderance of evidence favors night ball. The situation is likely to continue. SPORTS SHORTS C. Gov. Dwight Griswold of Nebraska played football at Nebraska Wesleyan more than 30 years ago. He starred on the eleven. C The Saratoga, N. Y., Spa golf course has no grade steeper than 5 per cent because of cardiac patients at the resort. C. Emil Verban, the Cardinals' new infielder, has a twin sister, Frances, who is a Softball star. C. The St. Louis Cardinals won their first National league pennant in 1926. Since then they have won six more. ica were grown in large quantities as pot plants from seed obtained principally from Germany and Switzerland. When this supply was cut off, American growers found"difficulty in producing seeds, as many plants failed to produce seed or were untrue to type. ' , The primrose normally produces two different types of plants whose powers differ in structure. Following extensive experimentation, Dr. Mehlquist discovered that good results could be obtained by hand oross-pollination of the two types. A cornel's hair brush was used to distribute pollen from the flowers of one type to another. With this method ,ene well grown plant will produce 10.000 or more seeds. Important Seams One of the things to check when you are purchasing a garment is the strength of the seams. The simplest test for assuring a satisfactory seam is to count the number of stitches. Eight or less to the inch Indicates a poorly made seam which may give way when strained or cleaned. To be sure that a seam will hold, you should be able to count 12 or more stitches to each inch. * Taxes Wiped Out Lake Erie has washed approximately $2,000,000 off the Lake county, Ohio, tax list in the last few „ years. At Painesville-on-the- Lake, Ohio, some lake front lots formerly on the tax book for $1,000 now are appraised at $10. Not only has erosion resulted in the area, but in a number of cases buildings either have been plunged into the lake or have been moved to preserve them. , Pad Shoulders Narrow sloping shoulders may be padded to create the illusion of broad shoulders. Lines that slant diagonally to the shoulders also help this illusion. Shoulders that are too square may be made less so by eliminating padding at the shoulders, by wearing sleeves set on a raglan line or a type of dress that does not clearly define the armhole. Food Values A fair-sized potato contributes onjy 100 calories, the same number as ant found in a large orange, a large ap> pie, four average size prunes, a thick slice of bread, and two-thirds o| * , ; cup of whole milk. •/ Water Glass Storage Tb keep eggs for other months of the year when prices will be higher, water glass storage is probably the simplest and surest. Water glass can be obtained from any drug store at a cost of about 25 cents a quart. A quart mixed with about nine quarts of water that has been boiled and then cooled, is enough to cover about 15 dozen eggs for storage. The eggs can be kept in a clean earthen crock or wooden tub qf about six-gallon capacity, in a oopl place. Children's Accidents All age groups except children experienced a decrease in the number of accidents in 1943 in comparison with 1942. The increase in deaths of children despite decreases of 13 to $0 per cent in adult age groups are particularly interesting as an indication of the effect of wartime relaxation of parental supervision. 0e It y»9rseff-Mt Mmt Cfatomlfad PfltMANENT WAVE KIT •Choammp pleoto«* *t j!<tii icurlers. tmr9JkPUAf hT&t'tir .M KXI>Tr laom dnoil ouek Ir vsuitf*o--r rmviri>rv t ytop e« uotffc • $ta CBATBKKURI.
