RECOVERY TAKES TIME The terrible impact of war on a soldier's nerves is something some-thing people who stay at home can never understand. This is particularly true of a sensitive young man who has been exposed ex-posed to some extremely horrible hor-rible experience. Such a case is related in this article. A young wife tells Miss Norris about her husband, Carl, a parachute trooper, who was released because of stomach stom-ach ulcers. Carl was devoted and affectionate until he returned re-turned from service. Now he seems cold and detached, showing little interest in his baby son or his wife. Everything Every-thing seems unimportant. This difficult phase, says Miss Norris, is a common experience ex-perience of combat veterans. The shock of battle lingers for months. There is nothing to do but to be patient and con siderate. ....... i; . UitU retnonsibilitY about the baby.

That is, don't look for rational or normal nor-mal conduct in him. If he feels the baby Is spoiled, agree with him and be a little hard on the baby. If he is sick of meals in your mother's company, take him out to dinner, or encourage him with talk of hunting for a little apartment or better, a little farm, of your own. If he glooms about the war. gloom with him, immediately im-mediately afterward conceding that valor, courage, defense of America are splendid things, however they are evoked. Above all, put him first. Make him important. At any cost be always free to walk with him, plan with him, buy architectural books and study them with him. Give him a little responsibility about the baby, let Carl see that Junior gets disci plined and isn't always first. Meet his look with laughter and anection; start every sentence with his name.

Watering African Violets Brownish or whitish streaks on the leaves of your African violet probably prob-ably are the result of overhead watering or use of cold water, states J. R. Kamp, U. of Illinois college of agriculture. Always use warm water and shade the leaves until they are dry because discolora-tions discolora-tions appear if wet leaves are exposed ex-posed to the sun. Putting the pot in a pan of water until the soil is wet is a satisfactory means of watering, wa-tering, provided the pot is then removed re-moved at once. v- 31 1 j crt- 1 11 'wv ,T t Ia- T : 1 m p Appw a if Off- ?: - MM i 1 gfr --in rwrnnniTir - .rrr'-T" nniiMiliaiTi r a Thin-s are looking np for the big shows as pretty Jnanita Deisler and Paul Jerome relax for a moment between rehearsals on the flying trapeze The circos begins its annual springtime engagement at Madison Square Garden, and after May 20, Bingling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey make a tour of cities of America.

A Flop in Big Time "But in his first 27 games that season, Ike batted .410. He was terrific. ter-rific. We all said that with two good arms he'd hit .500. He was big, game, strong, a natural ainieie and a natural hitter. But In the big leagues with at least one or two clubs he was a steady .210 muer. "And there was Smeed Jollcy with the Red Sox 6 feet 3235 pounds, one of the greatest minor league hitters I ever saw. ne had everything. In the big leagues he hit maybe .200, . "There was Bevo LeBourveau of the Phillies and Giants terrific in th minors but a flop In the nig i-iB. I could name you 20 great minor league hitters who couldn't hit the size of their hats In the majors. And this Includes the great Rus sian Novikoff who can hit every thing In the minors and nothing in the majors. "One trouble with the minors, riirkev said. "Is this the pitch- era nr the catchers often fail to dis cover the batters' weakness. We'll take Lou Novikoff. He can murder wrtain tvDe of pitch. He cam even foul a fast one inside. But don't ever give him a fast one outside, murder lt. At least that's what I hear. All I know is that after be ing with the Yankees in the American Ameri-can leaeue so many years, I know just about what every fellow likes to swing at and also wnai ne DOESN'T like to swing at. And what a difference that makes." (As a side remark, I'd like to add that Bill Dickey knew more 'about American league hitters than any catcher In the history 01 oaseDau. He knew everything they liked and everything they didn't like). Greatest Hitter There was one exception. His name is Ted Williams of the Red Sn "There is the greatest hitter I ever saw," Dickey went ort. He'd never swing at a ball two Inches off h. nlate. Williams could wait for a fast ball or a fast curve until it was almost In my glove. Then 11 he liked it he'd even hooK it to leiu "Tpd had the swiftest reactions I've ever seen. He could make up his mind what to do in at least a tenth of a second. I tried to cross him every way I knew, but I could. I'll say that Ted Wil liams is the greatest hitter I ever saw in baseball, and I know how ?ood Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Joe Di Maggio were. But Williams was somethine out of this woria. tr we hadn't run into this war I be lieve Williams would have finished as the greatest hitter of all time." It might be added here that Lt Bill Dickey, the Arkansas quail shot, never makes any wild state ments. He only calls them as he sees them. Nothing else counts with him. Most Thrilling Fight When it comes to the most thrilling thrill-ing prize fight, I always pick the Dempsey - Firpo volcanic eruption that lasted only a trine more than four minutes. Where Dempsey was hammered to the floor or at least tc his knees with Firpo's first right-hand right-hand where Dempsey kept Firpc on the floor most of the round-where round-where Firpo hammered Dempsey through the ropes where everything happened In such a hurry that nc one could follow the swiftly shifting scenario of raw action.
