McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C.. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1938
A PRELUDE TO
THE BIG GAME
Few of the 40,000,000 peo
ple who watch this autumn’s
gridiron games know of the
months spent by skilled work
men turning pigskin and rub
ber into footballs. Long before
the triple-threat halfback be
gan training, football manu
facturers began their prepara
tion. Each ball has received
as much attention as the glam
orous players themselves. First
step, illustrated at left, is cut-
ting and selecting leather for
the football.
A check for precision: Each **panel” of pigskin used in the
football is weighed to check on the skiving. Regulation foot
balls must be of standard weight.
i :
LEFT—Panels are examined still more before a skilled crafts
man matches them, guaranteeing that the finished football will
have uniform color and quality. RIGHT-—The assembly job
begins when panels are stitched on a hot wax machine.
LEFT—Ends are stitched by hands, not an easy job when
you consider the toughness of this pigskin. RIGHT—An im
portant part of football manufacture is the cementing and prep
aration of linings and panels, thus insuring firmness.
The finished product, ready for booting and passing by a
bone-crushing fullback. But first the ball must be checked and
its diameter measured after inflation. To pass tests this diam
eter must be 21 inches.

WELL TRAINED HUBBY
“Your hubby is a dancing man,
isn’t he?”
“Well—I makr him dance, all
right.”
Easier
Sam was being implored by a
committee Of brethren to contribute
to a special fund the church was
trying to raise. But Sam was ob
durate.
“Well,” said one of the brothers
with a clincher of an argument,
“don’t you all think you owes de
Lawd anythin’?”
“Oh, ah sure does,” said Sam,
“only He ain’t pressin’ me like mah
other creditors is ”—Philadelphia
Bulletin.
MORE FEET
“When 1 was at the seashore I
had several men at my feet.”
“I had several on my feet every
time I attended a dance.”
Fashions for Daytime
That Are Flattering
C'ACH of these good-looking new
*- J designs is Just as comfortable
and practical as it is becoming,
and each is accompanied by a de
tailed sew chart that assures you
no difficulty at all in the making.
Dirndl-Style Jumper.
High neckline, to cover up her
collar bones, with a little round*
collar to soften. High-puffed
sleeves and very full skirt to fill
her out. Shirred waistline, to
make her look soft and small
through the middle. Those are the
details making this one of the
most becoming dresses a girl of
the fast-growing years can possi
bly wear. Make the jumper of
flannel, jersey or wool plaid, for
every day, with linen, batiste or
flat crepe blouse. Repeat it, for
parties, of velveteen, with organ
dy or chiffon blouse.
Large Woman’s House Dress.
Plenty of leeway for reaching
up, down and under, is promised
you by the ample armholes, slight
blouse above the belt, and easy
waistline of this practical home
dress. And it looks very trim and
tailored, because the long lines,
the darts around the middle, scal
loped closing and narrow collar
are just as slenderizing as they
can be. You will enjoy having a
jersey or challis version of this
dress for cold weather, as well
as several in calico, gingham or
percale. It’s a diagram design
that you can make in no time.
