The as the roving workers I-'are called, can't afford to go to a doc- tor's the doctor's office is being brought to them. And spread of epidemics from farm to farm, from field to field is being checked. i From many states come the "migs" to follow the crops. Their poverty. their nomad life makes them very ,1 susceptible to contagious diseases.

There are more than 30.000 of these and their living conditions range from absolute squalor to the comparative luxury of Federal Farm Security Administration camps. Each mobile clinic is staffed by a physician, a nurse, a sanitation expert. by do not met requirements, the entire population may be compelled to move to a new location. In a camp maintained by a grower, the owner is ordered to correct the trouble. Should an emergency case arise, the clinics are ready.

Rear ends of the station wagons are sometimes used as operating tables. In a newly-inaugurated auto-clinic survey. Wassei'man tests are being made to find prevalence of syphilis. Early results indicate that, contrary to general opinion, there is less venereal disease among the "migs" than among the permanent residents of the state. Dovetailed with the clinic work, is the recently established medical program of the Agricultural Workers' Health and Medical non-profit corporation of federal and state organizations.

F. S. A. funds pay for medical care for workers treated in camp clinics and the offices of private physicians. Health conditions in California are their best in history, claims Dr.

Boys began hawking cigarettes at Jersey ferry landings which New Yorkers could reach by paying a nickel for th round trip. Now Jersey firms offered to send cartoons costing $1.55 in New York for $1.25, plus postage. On five cartoons this meant a saving of Sl.lvl.

Tax officials couldn't do much tn stop this, but when the bootlegger appeared they warned that anyone caught smuggling cigarettes lo New Yorkers was liable to a fine or a year in jail, or both. To make their rulings stick they sent out agents to watch for bootleggers. A Bronx youth was nabbed after he had imported and sold IS cartoons tu factory workers. A magistrate made an example of him with a jail sentence. But next day another judge in another case asked the prosecutor: "Do you mean to tell me that if my wife took a drive through New Jersey an I told her to bring back a couple of packs she would be violating the law?" "I do, sir." the prosecutor replied.

and others consider curly, black-haired Vance DiMaggio the greatest defensive center fielder they ever saw better than his brother of the yankees. It was an uneven, jerky swing with a hitch in it that shipped the elder DiMaggio from the Boston Bees to the Yankees' Kansas City subsidiary in the deal for Shortstop Eddie Miller. DiMaggio straightened out his suing sufficiently to bat better than .3011 for the Blues and to lead the American Association with something like 40 runs and in total bases and runs batted in. DiMaggio's response to suggestion by Bill Meyer, Kansas City manager, last spring was lo get to the park every day 15 minutes before the rest and have someone pitch the high and inside balls that kept his National League batting average down lo .228. How well the San Francisco Italian succeeded in smacking pitches that formerly puzzled him was made evident by his purchase by Cincinnati for the equivalent of $40,000.

DiMaggio quit resting his bat on his shoulder, cocked it and began stepping ito pitches. "Last year I'd start moving before r.y 1IAKIMSON Service Slal'f HOLLYWOOD.

Vince is not a line drive hitter as much as Joe and takes a much longer stride than his brother who takes an unusnlly short one. But Vince claims he's shortened his stride "to more like Joe's this year." Vince DiMHggio preferred to go to Cincinnati next spring for two reasons. William Boyd McKccluiic managed him in Boston two years ago.

And in Cincinnati the left field wall, only H28 feet distant, is tailor-made for a right-handed hitter like him. The ramc wall is 3fi8 feet away in Boston's National park. "Sure Vincc DiMaggio strikes out," concludes Bill Meyer. "So did Babe Ruth." pulling up peg. pine." Kae ODay.
