"Hop" Chichester Hero of Unusual Play In Battle , Old Timor# Soy They Neyor Sow It# Like Before. "Hop" Chichester, i Instructor ?t the Southern Aviation post here and rfutc.her of the Instructor team of the city softball league, staged a double piny, unassisted. In Wednesday nights Kit me with the "Army, that should make the front page of the Robert ltlpley record of unusual happenings. The unusual and unique feature of "Hop's" double play wus that his first out was in front of the home plate and the second at second base. And thereby hangs a story that old timers declares to bo the most unusual play they ever witnessed on a ball field. It was made possible by "Hop's" sprinting ability. Hull of the Array was on second base. Hall popped up team wus at bat. DeLulsl of the Army a short foul fly1 which "Hop" pulled out of the ether. DeLuJsl thinking the hall would fall safe had started for third. "Hop," instead of pegging the bull to Reynolds at second, started a Charlie Paddock stretch drlye and while DeLulsl was traveling 20 feet, ... "Hop" covored at loust 40 foot, to flash over the keystone sack a secjnd , before DeLulsl' arrived. Between You and Me ' I Newspapermen the world over have followed with interest the frequent dispatches concerning the activities of. the Gremlins?those "Little People" who bedevil the men who guide our fighting planes along the skyways. The reason for this absorbing Interest lies In the fact that the members of the race from which the Gremlins sprang have long been known to those who deal with the printed word. Readers have often gotten a good laugh out of a typographical error in a news story or an advertisement, while editors were tearing out their few hairs and advertisers were frothing at the mouth over that same error. The truth Is that these errors are the work of the Mldgeons, who Infest printing plants and who boast a history of maliciousness dating from the days of Johannes Gutemberg. Some of these Mldgeons lurg among the parts of linetype and monotype machines. When they feel the moment is right they leap out and Jump on one of the keys. They display fiendish Ingenuity In choosing the key that will cause the most dangerous mistake. Other Mldgeons Inhabit the composing room. They juggle llttlo figures, move decimal points and transpose cut lines when compositors and makeup men are looking the other way. These Mldgeons are the ones who do the spado work. The real artists among the tribe are those who whisper slyly In the ears them from detecting the errors made who divert their attention and throw Grapher dust in their eyed to prevent them fro mdetecting the errors made in the mechanical department, (etaoln Hhrdlu cmfwyp vbgkqj xsflflff.,.) This fight of newspaper men against the Mldgeons Is a never-ending battle. We hope our readers will understand how typographical errors are made. We'll never let the Mldgeons get us down. EDWARD W.

Q. 1 tmmymmtmmmmmmmmmm?Wf?? ???? Q, Can too much brushing Injure the teeth??Mies G. B. A Certainly, too much incorrect brushing can injure the teeth and gums and in all probability even too much correct brushing may be Injurious , . . "Just because a littla is good is not reason to supposa that more is better." In brushing the teeth as in most everything else, good judgment must be used.* Overbrushing can irritate the gums, cause them to recede and expose the tooth roots. "Of the various types of tooth brush injury to the gingival (gum) tissues, that which results in the permanent loss of root covering is the most pernicious in its effects bex cause it not only entails an unesthetic appearance, and, not infrequently, mechanical abrasions on the exposed root surfaces, but also, in some instances, cervical hypersensitiveness and eventual caries (decay) occasioning a need for fillings that otherwise might be avoided." Q# Would your teeth grow healthy if you brushed them twice a day??D. H. i A Brushing alone will not prevent decay. It is but one of c - ~ Mouth hygiene habits should ha established at an aulj age. the parent should supervise the cleaning even after the child reaches high school age. It should be recognised, that brushing alone Is Inadequate for the prevention of dental doeay.

' There's only one type of outfit' that can compete with us,'* says Major Bourke, "and that's an automobile manufacturing plant. With our working staff of hundreds of men and tremendous equipment, including much salvage, there's nothing we can't rebuild." The army doesn't waste any time fussing with cars that have been basked to a fare-thee-well. Salvage crews snap up any useable parts, and the derelict goes to the War scrap heap. "We don't start out with the idea of doing a job that will make the car good for a couple of weeks or so," one of the officers said, "we give it the gun so that when the machine leaves here it's ready to be sent anywhere in the world." German Walked in and Then Right Out Again NEW YORK. ? Here's a story which has reached New York from Germany, as one of the anecdotes supposedly going the rounds among the Germans. A German in Berlin had his house bombed. It was half destroyed. With a friend he went to the claims bureau for a settlement. The friend waited outside. The German entered and found two doors with signs reading "major damage" ana "minor damage." He entered the one marked "minor damage." Then he reached a big hall with two doors, one for Germans and one for foreigners. He entered the door for Germans. Then he found two more doors?one for party members, the second for non-party members. He opened the second door and found himself on the street again. British Plane Output Exceeds Total of Axis LONDON.?Capt. Oliver Lyttelton, minister of production, declared recently that Britain, with a plane production four times the rate of the first quarter of 1940, now has "far passed the total Axis output of aircraft." Britain, however, no longer can hope to increase production by any large intake of labor into war industries and can raise her production ceiling only by making greater use of both labor and. machines now at the nation's disposal, Lyttelton told the Institute of Production Engineers. U. S. Loses Soldier Who is AJJergic to Wool PAHOKEE, FLA.?It wasn't war or the strenuous life of a soldier that worried Marvin Berry. He could put up with all that, but his tour in the army didn't work out for another reason. He's back home now, honorably discharged. Military authorities fopnd him hopelessly allergic to wool. Soviet Factory Heads Are Jailed for Neglect MOSCOW.?The 4 Soviet prosecutor's office announced recently that even heads of factory departments had been sentenced to prison terms ranging from one to six years for failing to send to trial workers who were absent or tardy without reason and for lack of efficiency in feeding and housing workers. i Changing Family Food HabiuUptoHouaawifa " Families may be able to tuA> on the electric light at home andI onlay the benefits of its illumination without understanding the science of electrical energy, but they can not plan healthful meals unlessthey understand to some degree the scientific facta behind good nutrition.

Formerly, PruggitU Sold Coffee by the Ouncf Only American coffee drinkers, faced with weaker brews, smaller cups and fewer of them, may be cheered to know that their favorite beverage was not always sold over the grocer's counter in pound lots. Before coffee gained its worldwide popularity, says a bulletin from the National Geographic Society, cautious pharmacists doled it out by the ounce "for medicinal purposes only." Since the days when the first early Mohammedans were forbidden wine and took to sipping concoctions I made from the coffee bean in order j to keep awake during their long religious ceremonies, coffee has been acclaimed and disclaimed. In Cairo, after its introduction there in the early 1500s, its use was forbidden because it was considered j intoxicating. All places storing or using the "seditious berry" were ordered burned. During the reign of Charles II, coffee houses in London were ordered closed because they not only brewed a fine cup of coffee, but political unrest as well. f First Tuesday After First Monday National election day was fixed by act of congress in 1845. Several circumstances made it advisable. Previously each state fixed its own election day within 34 days of the meeting of the. electors (in. accordance with act of congress, 1782); All the states elected in November, but the dates varied and this lack of uniformity led to grave consequences. In contiguous states "repeating" was so easy it became common. Popiflar demand for reform led to the 1845 law. In the frontier country it often was, necessary for voters to set out the preceding day in order to reach the polls in time to vote, so it was desirable to have a day intervene between Sunday and election day. Tuesday was chosen, but the first Tuesday was excluded since occasionally it coincided with the first of the month, making it inconvenient for business men. The second Tuesday could fall as late as the 14th, leaving only 22 days between election day and the meeting of electors on the first Wednesday in December. The first Tuesday after the first Monday placed the date not later than November 8 and always about 30 days before the meeting of the electors. That Tuesday still is retained, although the time of the meeting of the electors since has been changed. Compounds Save Fuel Chinks around. windows and window panes 'and cracks and open joints in walls and around doors and windows are in the front line of fuel wasters. An easy and inexpensive way to effect an important saving , in fuel is to fill these openings with putty or glazing or caulking compounds, depending upon the Kind of opening. Putty and glazing compounds are especially suitabla for use with window glass, while caulking compounds, which may be applied either with a gun, collapsible tube, or with a putty knife, are made especially for the larger openings elsewhere in the structure of the house.
