• Before Dick Irvin, yeteran of hockey
teams, signed to become the pilot of the
Chicago Black Hawks of the National
League, there was the usual pre -signing
discussion over his contract.
Irvin was doing business with Jiro
Norris, principal owner of the Hawks.
Atter the basic salary was agreed upon, there were written
into the contract, one by one, various bonus clauses. This
is quite the usual thing. Hawks had been last in the league
through 1954 and 1955, and naturally owner Jim Norris
gladly agreed to a bonus conditional on the team finishing
in the play offs, meaning fourth place or better.
"Now" said Irvin, this being agreed upon, "put in another
bonus clause"
"For what?" enquired owner Norris, figuring the last
bonus had been settled.
"For Hawk entry into the Stanley Cup final" said Irvin
quietly.
Norris shrugged, wrote in the clause, and was ready to
hand the contract over to Irvin
The gray-haired coach held up his hand. "One more
clause" he said. "A bonus if we win the Stanley Cup"
Norris signed fol the bonus. "1'11 be very happy to pay
this," he said, "and all the other bonuses, too."
Returning to Chicago, Irvin, at 635 'of age, leaves
Canadiens after coaching that team since -40_ 0, and develop•
ing such players as Richard, Lech, 411filchard, Geoffrion,
Bouchard, Bil) Durnan, Gerry McNeil, bjtg,:;Ilarvey, Dickie
Moore, Tommy Johnson, Jacques Plante, Jean Beliveau, and
many other greats. Canadiens have-beed'-unider his leader•
ship year after year a potent factor in the National League,
winning the Stanley Cup three times, the League title four
times in a row.
Irving is leaving the Stanley Cup finalists to take over
the tail -end club. "You get in a rut remaining in one place,"
was his comment as he became the 19th Hawk coach since
the team moved into the major league in 1926.

Dressed To Kill 1 Late
One of the old New York
gangs used to march into battle
against a rival mob carrying a
dead rabbit impaled on a pike.
This battle flag was a piece of
symbolism, for in the slang of
those days a "dead rabbit" meant
a real, tough fighting man.
In addition each member of
the gang donned his battledress
Of grimy undershirt and trousers
with a red stripe; the opposing
group wore red or yellow striped
trousers.
This "uniform" worn by cri-
minals is of interest. The Camor-
ra Secret Society is said to have
originated in the Middle Ages
as a brotherhood of thieves and
rogues. The very word "Camor-
ra" is believed to be derived
from the Spanish "chamarra," a
cloak usually worn by thieves
and bullies.
In his heyday the true Camor-
rista could be recognized by his
loose, red neckerchief, the ends
floating over each shoulder, a
striped sash, and the curious im-
plement 'he always carried, a
cane heavily loaded with rings.
This peculiarity of criminals
was often of great use to the
police since a member of the
Roach Gang could be recognized
by his boots which were heavy
and usually had pieecs of knife
or axe blade let into the leather
for stamping or kicking.
Similarly, a racecourse tough
was identified by a peaked cap
which contained a razor -blade
in the peak. The cap could do
serious harm if slashed across
an opponent's face.
A woman who wore killer's
"uniform" was the notorious
Bonnie Parker who, in 1932, shot
twelve men in cold blood while
out on gangster forays with her
fast -driving mate, Clyde Bar-
row. She always wore a scarlet
dress and was wearing it when
a hail of police bullets cut short
her career near Dallas, Texas, in
1934.
Planted
Bulbs
"April showers bring May
flowers". But if the flowers are
of the bulb variety, many of
them have to be planted in the
fall if they are to burst forth
in al) their glory next spring.
Gladioli, begonia and dahlia
are exceptions to this rule, but
most other bulbs should be
planted in the fall. The depth
of planting varies with the type
of bulb. Tulips, for instance,
should be planted at a depth of
six inches, with four inches be-
tween each bulb. Jonquils are
also ,planted at six inches, but
they need about six inches be-
tween them to grow properly.
Narcissus and lily go a little
deeper in the ground - about
eight inches - with six to twelve
inches between each bulb.
To plant, dig a hole two inches
deeper than the recommended
depth. Into this hole put a tea-
spoon of fertilizer and mix
thoroughly with the next two
inches of soil, On top of this,
. put two inches of the untreated
soil that was removed from the
hole. This prevents the bulb
from coming in contact with the
fertilizer and also brings the hole
up to the proper depth.
Now plant the bulb. The soil
that was taken from the hole
could be mixed with a teaspoon
of soil conditioner and then
packed gently around the bulb.
Potted bulbs need not be
planted as deep as those out-
doors, but they should Be wat-
ered occasionally and kept in a
cool, dark place until well
sprouted. Then they may be
gradually brought up to the light
for the blooming period, about
three months later. Before plant-
ing, dust bulbswith a contbina-
tion insecticide -fungicide to pro-
tect them from diseases and in-
sects.
NOT WHAT 1S SEEMS -The hybrid contraption withan elephant -
like trunk and ice cream -wagon body is not a portable vacuum

FAiR AND WETTER --Sarah Lee, "Fairest of the Fair of 1955,"
thought it was fun to help bathe a prize heifer at .the Mid -
South Fair, But she""got a most unexpeced shower bath when

Baby -Sitter Wanted
For a Barilla!
Mr. and Mrs. H. Greer, of
Houston, Texas, have a four-year-
old gorilla named Hugo, captur-
ed on safari in Africa. They are
prepared to part with t h e
animal for about :$10,000, they
say. On the other hand, it they
can get someone to look after it
they would just as soon keep the
80 -ib. ape, since they like him
and think he will grow up to be
a circus star.
Over 100 applicants showed up
in response to: a recent news-
paper advertisement for a ''gor-
illa help." If Hugo, who was
tied to the kitchen table, glow-
ered at them, they were turned
down, since Mrs. Greer thinks
gorillas need "love and affection"
just like humans.
On the "short list" she put a
young man whe introduced Hugo
to the delights of bubble -gum,
kept him from tearing down
the curtains, destroying the tele-
phone message pad, and wind-
ing himself up in the bedclothes.
Hugo regards the telephone as
his .particular enemy, and be-
comes terribly jealous when Mrs.
Greer uses it. He will throw
pots and pans about, turn on gas
taps, and chew up hunks of
linoleum just to distract .her.
Mrs. Greer is now making her
final ..choice. The job of being
nurse and companion to Hugo
looks like going to a pretty girl
who lives next door to the Greers.
Hugo nestled on her lap and let
her feed him his favourite food
- vitamin pills and chewing-
gum.

BROKE THE SANK
Monte Carlo was the scene
of a strange occurrence one night
many years ago. An elderly
gentleman took a 'seat in the
casino and ventured fifty francs
on Number 17. The number
came uup. The old man pointed
at Number 17 again and made
no move to rake in any of his
winnings. Again the little sil-
ver'ball came to rest at Number
171 The croupier looked ques-
tioningly at the old man, who
sat with his head clown on one
arm and his finger pointed at
Number 17 on the board. Five
more consecutive times the
wheel hit Number 17. The old
man's pile of chips was enor-
mous. The crowd stood silent
with admiration for his nerve
The croupier had a hurried con-
sultation with the directors, and
announced that the bank had
been broken and the roulette
game was at an end.
But the winner of the fortune
never stirred. He was dead.
Furthermore, a doctor testified
in court he had been dead ever
since the second spin. A dead
man broke the bank at Monte
Carlo.

Hid His Ugliness
For Forty Years
Vincenzo Bandiglio, the barber
of Castelfranco, in Miscano vil-
lage In Italy, was very ugly.
'He was kind, helpful, polite,
and highly regarded, but his
ugliness was, as he puts it, "a
cross I could not bear." So he
hid himself in a cave.
Vincenzo, now 83, was foupd
recently by a courting couple.
Entering a grotto deep in a wood
some miles from the village, they
discovered him preparing a
meal.
They took him back to the
village where, trying to remem-
ber words he had not used in
nearly half a century, he re-
counted his story.
"In the company of men my
. appearance was no trouble. But
I wanted to marry and have
children. The girls shuddered
when they looked at me, but
one day I fell in love with a
girl who had beautiful black
eyes. Every 'time I went near
her she ran away. So at last I
decided to walk and walk until
I found a place to hide."
In the next 40 years he lived
on the fruit he grew near the
cave and the game he trapped.
For his few necessities he traded
fruit and game with roving
gipsies.
The presence of a "caveman"
was known in the area, but none
of the few people who dared
penetrate deep in the wood ever
saw him. The war passed him by.
The village has now taken him
back, given him a cellar to live
in, and has promised to feed
and clothe him for the rest of
his life.
So old Vincenzo sits in the sun
with his enormous flapping ears,
his grotesquely long nose, his
tiny eyes and straggling whisk-
ers. and grins: "I'm a bit too old
for love now, so I can forget my
ugly face," he tells the passers-
by.
