Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer New York (U.R) There will be the usual quota of stars today as the major league sea son gets under way but the eager athletes will have to go" a long way to match the biggest opening day thrill of them all. The year was 1940. The Cleve land Indians started the season with a 1-0 victory over the Chi cago White Sox. And a young Iowa farm boy named Bobby Feller pitched the only opening day no-hitter in big league history. It was a cold, gray day in forbidding Comiskey Park when the burly, 21-year-old with the blazing fast ball went to the hill. Nor, at the start, were the shiv- BOWLING INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE Standings W Ricrfield Oil Co 18 Stevens Kaiser-Willys 17 i Barnards . 17 Padgham's 16 Snobovs 15 Medford Steel Co 15 Telephone Employees 15 Austin King 13 Hunter and Best 12 Cummings Agency 12 Hawkinson Tire Tread Co. 11 Jr. Chamber of Commerce 10 'i L 10 10 ',2 11 12 13 13 13 15 16 16 17 17 2 Hawkinson's 2 Cummincs' 2 A.

Out of Jam They .were, as a matter of fact, jelling for his scalp in the second inning when the White Sox loaded the bases with two out. But then he went to that bullet-life fast ball, rearing back and blowing it past Bob Ken nedy three straight times to get out of the jam. In the fourth inning, his Cleveland teammates got him his run. That was to be Cleveland's only run, but it was enough. Because from the fourth inn ing through the eight, Feller re tired 15 men in a row as he roll ed up eight strikeouts. Thus they came to the bottom of the ninth and tension was thick in the big green ball park. Feller, working calmly and without any visible emotion, got the first two men easily. But the next man up was pesky Luke.

But Ray Mack lunged desperately, knocked the ball down and scrambled to pick it up flipped to Hal Trosky for the final putout. Now 36, Feller will be on the Cleveland bench as this season gets under way. No longer is he one of the club's "Big Four" and his assignments will be of the spot variety. Silos Help To Halt Erosion of Soil Manhattan, Kan. (U.R) A Kansas State College agronomist says silos are one of the best de vices to prevent soil-blowing in the plains area. Frank Bieberly, the expert, ex plained: If farmers have good feed sup plies, they are not forced to over graze the vegetative cover that protects their soil from blowing. The Kansas agricultural exper iment station reports that en silage will keep indefinitely and still be nutritious and palatable to livestock. The information is important now because of the ravages of drought in the nation's "bread basket." Kansas and some nearby states had the driest November in recorded weather history and this after two years of in termittent drought. Bieberly believes that soil blowing will be greatly reduced when all Midwest fanners learn how well ensilage will keep and start storing feed from the good years to be used during slim crop years.

McAndrews Phone 2-4107 Glance at Gals Expensive At Mexico City Barbershop Mexico City (U.R) Looking at senoritas can be expensive, especially if you are getting clipped in Olegario Pacheco's outdoor barber emporium. Olegario's establishment con sists of an old chair placed on a soap box on the sidewalk by his cousin's grocery store in the outskirts of Mexico City. If you are willing to sit fac ing the wall, your haircut costs a mere six cents. But if you want to sit facing the street and ogle the female passers-by, the price goes up to 10 cents. The reason, says Olegario, is that it's harder to give a haircut when the client faces the street. The gals are a distraction. Outdoor Shops Everywhere Outdoor barbershops here are in as solidly as beans and tor tillas. You see them set up under trees, along sidewalks and even in the middle of back streets on week ends. But the days of the soup bowl haircut are gone, says Olegario, and he doesn't go in for such tom-foolery as crew-cuts. "A man's head could get cold and it might very well affect his thinking," reasoned Senor Pa checo. Say that a man climbs in your chair, wants a haircut styled to his personality and the shape of his head like they do in these fancy barbershops downtown. What does Pacheco do? "I cut his damn hair the way a man's hair ought to be cut," he , spat, "and I charge him a man's price. If they want some thing fancy, they can go to a beauty parlor." Olegario calls his place a "sometimes" barbershop because he is open for business only when he needs money. On a good day, he might take in as much. as two bucks. The main thing is,: he doesn't have any spare time. His wife, Clotilde, works the small garden patch and Olegario supervises this operation. The rest of the time he spends sitting in the sun beside his shack thinking. He doesn't bother with politics because he figures it's all chan neled and out of the hands of the average man. Current events don't bother him because he can't do anything about what's happening. Besides, Olegario isn't the curious type. There are plenty of other things to think about; girls, the good old days and just plain nothing. More than anything, Olegario Pacheco says he likes to think about nothing. He never studied barbering. It's a talent that comes naturally and is mostly a question of com mon sense. Exciting Moments But barbering can have its ex citing moments. There was the time the Mexican general came around in a big rush for a hair cut because he had to attend some kind of a ceremony within an hour. The general didn't look like the type of man to be trifled with. Olegario helped him into the chair on the soap box, tied the sheet around his neck and start ed to work. Halfway through, two big dogs ploughed into them in a running fight and upset the chair and the general Olegario's scissors slipped and snipped the tip of the general's ear off as he went over. Monday. April 11, 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Women Have No Instinct on Feeding Babies, British Scientist Discovers By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Writer New York (U.R) It is the con sidered opinions of medical sci ence that women have no in stinct which tells them how to feed their babies. Dr. Mavis Gunther studied 150 women, who were mothers for the first" time, and also searched out everything science has found out about maternal instincts. That instinct was not among them. But if it is any consola tion to women, she pointed out that chimpanzees in captivity don't know how to feed their ba bies either. They have to be taught. Blames Modesty "When a female chimpanzee cannot rear her young without having a human male to, teach her, instinct in the mother may indeed be said to have failed," remarked Dr. Gunther. A likely explanation of nature having short-changed women on instincts is that "mimicry" may take the place of instinct in infant-feeding in human beings as well as in monkeys. Monkeys live in colonies. The females have watched the feeding proc ess many times before it becomes their turn. But with women, a real trou ble has developed with advanc ing civilization. "The small size of present day families and the conventions of modesty, com bined with housing which allows privacy, have ensured that most women do not as children watch a baby being suckled,'.' he said. Must Be Taught Since there is no instinct in women and since they can't mimic when they don't know what it is they're to mimic, doc tors have to face up to the fact that first mothers have to be taught. Teaching mothers what in stinct doesn't tell them is a mat ter of much importance, she thought, because "when a moth er is very anxious to fed her child, and he refuses and fights, she is profoundly depressed. She may be found weeping before each feeding, and her delight in her child may be completely taken away by her misery." Dr. Gunther made her studies in a large obstetrical hospital in London. She reported her results in the world famous medical journal, The Lancet. Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport PHONE 1 VIVE 2-8781 9th at Central NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS Nationwide Guaranteed Recaps O.K.

W didn't keep all of this money, of course. 1 6.8 of it we paid to our 8700 employees as wages and benefits. 4.8 went for taxes. (This does not in clude 560,000,000 additional in fuel taxes which we collected for the government.) 68.2 by far the lion's share we divided among more than fifteen thousand other companies and individuals with whom we do business. This left us net earnings of 10.2. From which we paid shareholders like Miss Randall 4.5 as dividends for the use of their money, and reinvested the remaining 5.7 in necessary expansion and modernization of facilities. We hope Miss Randall is pleased with this report. We are certain she should be pleased with herself.
