Notice No-tice the fine interest in detail and careful tailoring. darts are mighty important In making mak-ing the garment fit you. The neckline neck-line may require more than one or two darts to make it fit snugly. The darts at the waistline may have to be a little smaller than shown in the pattern. Perhaps the underarm darts should be just a little deeper to give you good line. All of these little things can be determined by basting first, then fitting. A recent bit of news suggested that we women were spreading across the hips much more since the war than our designers anticipated. antici-pated. And, they tell us, that does not apply only to the older women, but to the teen-aged youngsters as welL - Because the skirt fit is so important impor-tant it's a good idea to baste the entire skirt in place before attempting attempt-ing any sewing. Slip the garment on, and if the seam allowance has been too generous, you can always let it out. If the garment is too snug, it may be necessary to place panels at the sides to give more room. At any rate, it's better to know just what the score is before you put in those hard-to-rip stitches. Don't feel that just because you're sewing on cotton that you can afford to be careless. Whereas cotton cot-ton used to be an inexpensive material mate-rial before the war, it is anything but that now. A good piece of material mate-rial deserves just as good treatment as you can give it Care of Fabrics For washing woolen garments use a neutral soap. Soaps with alkali have a harmful effect on woolen garments. Use as little friction as possible when washing, wash-ing, as it : mav rain the fibers. Squeezing 1 ( .iy in lukewarm suds is the.,test method. Hang the garment where air circulates freely and Is neither too hot nor cold. These same precautions are necessary for washing silk. To prevent yellowing, hang silk in the shade. Cotton and linen wash easily, although alkali cleaning agents should be used carefully. Sunshine Sun-shine tends to whiten both of these fabrics and they can withstand with-stand the higher temperatures fairly easy in washing. Soft water and mild soap are the essentials for washing rayons. Two sudsings should be used if necessary. The fabric should not be rubbed or twisted. Ironing with just warm heat is very important impor-tant Bemberg fabrics are handled like silk, wrapped in a towel and ironed with just a warm iron.

Baseball's most valuable players, Phil Cav-rretta, Cav-rretta, Chicago Cubs, left, was chosen as the National league's most valuable player in 1945, and Hal Newbouser, Detroit, won the award for the most valuable player in American league. Both men show promise of being leading contenders for the high honor this season. GREEN FOR OPA . . . William Green, president of the AFL, told the senate banking committee that those who opposed extension of the OPA were a "death lobby." He demanded it be continued intact. TpHE argument broke into a rash concerning the easiest position to play on a baseball team. We put the debate up to Joe McCarthy, who knows what it is all about, no matter what the position might happen to be. "Why don't you ask a lot of ball players," Joe said, "and get their slantr After Stirn-weiss Stirn-weiss had played third three or four days, I asked him how he liked the Job.

What about the pitcherT The pitcher only works every fourth or fifth day, and too often only toils four or five innings. But the catcher, the better catchers, catch-ers, get few vacations. You might talk to Bill Dickey some time about this and discover the beatings they take around the plate. Catching a hundred ball games a year is harder work than playing any other position for three hundred hun-dred games. All of which leads up to the easiest or softest job on the team. This is where the argument argu-ment started. resent o 'Hot Corner Eas the We talked with thPdlnals, Yankees, Red Sox, Tig'' Indians, and several others abou e easiest position to play. Fro start the players, began votii. , or third and first base. The conJhsus final ly settled on third base. As one veteran expressed it "I'll tell you about playing third base. On a general average when they slap one at you, it is either a hit or an out but nearly always a hit if you don't handle it Yes, there are bunts to cover, but as a per centage proposition, third basemen get few errors thrown into their records. rec-ords. It always happens in a hurry at third base and it is all different at short and second. They have room enough and time enough to move around. The third baseman doesn't." The next soft job consensus went to first base. But a first baseman Is supposed to be one of the best hit ters on the club. Charley Comiskey was the first of all the first basemen who left the safety of the bag to cut down a few drives slashed towards to-wards right field. That 50 years ago, was a daring innovation. It remained for Hal Chase to prove how an artist could handle first But Hal was too great an artist for his own good along certain devious lines we won't discuss here. Now here Is a peculiar angle. Baseball has known more great first basemen and more great second sec-ond basemen than It has ever known shortstops and third basemen. base-men. Just how can you explain this? At first base we have had stars from the days of Fred Tenney on, through Frank Chance, Stuffy Mo-Innis, Mo-Innis, Hal Chase, George Sislcr, Loo Gehrig, and Bill Terry. Many Stars at Second Second has the longest parade of stars Lajoie, Collins, Evers, Frisch, Hornsby, Gordon, Doerr. But outside of the enduring Honus Wagner, shortstop has given the game few outstanding names. There have been such good ones as Bancroft Ban-croft Jackson, Jennings, Tinker, Long, Wallace but only a limited list ranged below Wagner's fame. Third base, voted as the easiest job on the club to hold, should be arrayed and bedecked with great names. The list of good ones is , fairly long. The list of great ones very scant Jimmy Collins, Pie Traynor, Art Devlin, Heinie Groh, Red Rolfe, Bill Bradley, these were among the best In order to ward off indignant and protesting letters we'll admit in advance mat many good names have been left off the list due m&inly to a zigzag memory. The tough spot and the most important im-portant spot on the infield is the combination of short and second. Two fast men here can take pretty good care of the Infield, especially those of the Rizzuto-Gordon and the Pesky-Doerr type, not to overlook Marion and his mate on the Cardinals. Cardi-nals. Third base may be the "hot corner" but it also requires less terrain to patroL No Room for Alibis The box score is a national institution in-stitution that has been attracting more and more popular interest in the United States for 70 years.
