Making Martial Millinery
For todays lesson we take you to the Detroit plant of the McCord
Radiator company where steel helmets for our bigger, better army are
being turned out at the rate of 12,000 a day. The new model is pot
shaped. It comes down over the forehead and covers the back of the
neck, giving added protection to the entire head and sides of the face.
y ote how the martial millinery rolls off the assembly line.
SEWING , . . What sewing can there be on a steel helmet? The chin
strap. Strap-hooks hewe already been welded to the steel shell, and the
women shown in this picture are sewing on the straps.
EDGING . . . The brim of a steel
helmet is practically non-existent,
but there's a tiny turned-up edge,
and you see that edge put on here,
The machine that does the job is
called a spank press.

before the critical eyes of no less than four government inspectors. I laws

HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, PERRY, GEORGIA
npHIS may be disturbing news for
Larry MacPhail, who doesn’t
disturb easily or softly. Sam
Breadon, owner of the Cardinals,
says this 1942 collection might be
the best Cardinal team of all time.
“We had a great team in 1926
the year we trimmed the Yankees,”
Sam remarked. “We had another
great team in 1931, and still an
other in 1934 when the Gashouse
Gang with Dizzy Dean and Pepper
Martin were riding high. But it
wouldn’t surprise me to see this
bunch we are looking at now turn
out to be our all-time top. This is
certainly the best pitching staff we
ever had, and one of the best all
around teams in every department.”
“MacPhail says his Dodgers are
much stronger than last year and
after a few early flurries should
never be headed,” we told Breadon.
“His Dodgers had better not have
too many early flurries,” Sam said.
“Brooklyn has a good ball club, but
we have a better one. We have bet
ter pitching and more speed. And
if our club had any more spirit
it might explode. Billy Southworth
has the entire squad hustling to the
limit—and I can tell you now those
Dodgers will be seeing Red Wings
in their broken dreams this sum
mer. They’ll be after those Dodgers
from the first game to the finish.
Everything Necessary
“Look this ball club over,” Bread
on said. “We have all the catching
any team needs, and the best pitch
ing staff in either league, so far as
both quality and quantity go.
“You’ll be hearing from this kid
Pollet all season. He isn’t 21 yet,
but he works like a ten-year veteran.
He hasn’t blinding speed, and he
hasn’t any back-breaking curve ball.
But he is smart, cool, cunning and
a tough fellow to beat.
“And Pollet isn’t the only one.
We have at least ten high-grade
pitchers, although one or two could
use a little more experience. Mun-
SAM BREADON
ger has a world of stuff. You know
about Warneke, White, Cooper,
Lanier, Shoun, and Krist, who won
all the ten games he pitched last
year.
“Trade our infield for the Dodg
ers? Nothing doing. Hopp and
Sanders are both good first base
men. Crespi, Marion and Brown are
ball players of top rank. They give
us one of the best infields we ever
had.
“In my opinion, Terry Moore de
fensively is the finest outfielder I
ever saw. He can cover all the
ground that Speaker or DiMaggio or
anyone else ever covered—and may
be a few yards more. And Moore
is also a .300 hitter. He is a ball
player who has never received the
publicity he deserved. If Terry
hadn’t been hurt in the stretch last
fall we’d have been going away from
Brooklyn at the finish.
“Enos Slaughter is another fine
outfielder. And keep your eye on a
kid called Musial. Hopp can play
the outfield as well as first base.
And Hopp can hit and run.”
These are the disturbing items we
think Larry MacPhail should know
about. Sam Breadon gives Mac-
Phail credit for being one of the
smartest showmen, promoters and
handy guys baseball has seen. But
Breadon has an idea that Mac-
Phail has underrated this Cardinal
team, and the Dodger chief with
Leo Durocher may be in for a num
ber of nervous shocks.
It Might Have Been
“I don’t think they quite under
stand just what would have hap
pened to the Dodgers if we had had
as many of our regulars in action
as they had last year. It might have
been distressing—quite distressing.
It might not even have been close.”
From here we turned to the spirit
of Cardinal players through the
years. They have been the Notre
Dame of baseball.
“We’ve looked for two things,”
Breadon said, “speed and spirit. We
want ball players who love to play
baseball, who like to hustle and who
are out to win. Last year the Cardi
nals were crashing into fences, dug- |
outs, anything in the road, to win
a ball game.
“In that Southwest country from
where many of the great ball play
ers come, baseball is the greatest
game in the world. Football is next.
Most of them, like Dean and Martin
and many more, come up the hard
way. They know how to take a
beating and come tearing back.”

hung well over walls to give rooms
a sunny spacious effect. The same
idea may now be used to keep
light in at night. A cornice taking
the place of a picture moulding is
smart for both modern and tradi

near the ceiling for rod, or pole.

Origin of Dumdum Bullet
A dumdum bullet is a partially
steel-cased bullet with a soft core
that expands as it tears through
flesh, says Pathfinder. Because of
the mushrooming of the core it
aggravates the injury of the
wound.
Use of dumdum bullets was of
ficially condemned by the Inter
national Peace conference of 1899.
Their name derives from Dum
Dum, a town near Calcutta, India,
where they were first manufac
tured by the British for use
against fanatical native tribesmen
who refused to be stopped by or
dinary steel-jacketed bullets.
