"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.

YOURD.ENTAL I. 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.
Froper diet, plus early', regular and
thorough dental attention also la essential*
the procedures necessary for gdb4
dental health.

Super Garage Fixes

U. S. Army^$,Plant Is Largest
In the World.
FOKT DEVENS, MASS. ? Uncle
Stem has ^tn excellent place here for
repairing and overhauling jeeps,
staff cars and trucks, but he ought
to have scouting squads * ready in
case visitors get lost.
His garage is ooe of those intimate
buildings?occupying a tidy little
area of 6% acres I *
s Almost 1,000 men are employed,
most of them civilian mechanics.
Two hundred vehicles are being repaired
all the time, and an average
of 40 ere ready for the road again
each day. / ?
One of the largest places in the
work! for getting a fender fixed or
a motor changed, the war department
is planning to use it as a pattern
for jother "motor vehicle hospitals."
The big base is under the direction
of Col. Harry C. Snyder, who was
opce affiliated with the Pierce-Arrow
company. In charge of maintenance
l Maj, M. C. Bourke. - ?
' 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.

Changing Family Food

" 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.
The coming of the draft with
its revelation that many young men
were undernourished was the headline
news necossary to show American
citizens that the nations nutritionists
and doctors knew what
they were talking about when they
said that American families needed
to revise some of their eating habits.
To tills end, the national nutrition
program is of concern to every,man,
Avoman and ehild, and it carries iesponsibilities
to ail of us because
we are still living in a democracy
that allows us to choose from a
wide variety of foods what we will

1 there must be a willingness on their

The most important responsibility
of the homemaker who chooses, prepares

family is the responsibility of putting
into practice the results of the
many years of experimentation and
experience that have gone into the
study of the relationship of food tq ,

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.
