The Charm Of
Lillian

Mrs. Gable wondered If any other
mother ever had such n difficult
daughter as her Isabel Isabel was
fourteen and had always been docile,
easily managed child till she sudden.
ly developed a demoralizing fondness
for her schoolmate, Lillian. who was
a year older than she.
"Let me have the French heels,
mother!" Isabel had pleaded one day
when they were buying footEear
These square ones are so ugly, They
haven't any style! You ought TO see
the lovely heels Lillian has on her"
Lillian! Who is Lillian" her
mother had demanded.

her! She has eyes just like those you

her mother, aghast

said O little petulantly, "They are

fearfully crimped and puffed out
around her childish face. In that first
amazed glance her mother decided
that tape line laid across the top OF
the structure would measure at least
q yard from side to side.
IT'S like Lillian's!" Isabel burst out,

Isabers passionate admiration for
Lillian threatened to become serious
affair. She squandered all her pocket
money on candy and flowers to take
to Lillian. She sung Lillians praises
morning, noon and night. She was
broken-hearted Fridays because she
could not see her divinity Till the

Special.
A decided change for he better has
taken place in the financial situation
since the dissolution of the govern
ments injunction suit against the
railroads, The prospects now are that
the railroad bill introduceds at Wash
ington Ill be the first object OF legis-
lation, and fair chance exists Of this
before the adjournment of congress,
which is not far distant. The pro
posed measure is one of great import-
ance, inasmuch as il proposes to regu-
late rates, to regulate the issue of Sc
curities, to ascertain physical yalua-
ton and to do many other things with
the railroads; some Of which are wise
and some Of which are highly vision
AIRY. What the outcome will be it is
to forecast at this time;
but an issue of great importance is,
it is hoped, about to be settled in a
ay that will ensure the rights of the
public, and conserve the rights of Sc
curity holders.
The railroads have agreed to postpone
their advances, which should lessen
political tension, but this still leaves
them in somehat uncertain position
Unless there is to be a large increase
of traffic, 1t is problem as to how
the railroads are going to meet fast
growing expenses ithout an advance
in rates. Already many of the roads
arc showing serious impairment of
net earnings, Notwithstanding liberal
gains in gross: and unless some rea-
sonable advances are permitted by
forthcoming legislation, ii is certain
that the position Of some of the rail
roads will become unenviably threat
ening.
The Crop Report.
Perhas the hrighptest development
of the week was the government crop
report; the advices as to spring wheat
being better than expected The in
dications now are for a total wheat
crop of 7o2,000,0o0 bushels, against a
harvest last year Of 737,000,000 bush
els. This suggests a shrinkage of
about 25,000,000 bushels as result of
poorer condition that year ago. An
oats crop Of 1927 100000 bushels is
indicated or about 100000 bushels
in excess of last year. while the out
look for barley Is for a crop of 49,
600, 900 bushels, or about 100000
bushels in excess of last year There
is also probability of a big hay crop,
no returns for this product
have thus far been furnished. For
cotton, the outlook is about 10000 300
bales or fully 100000 more than
last year. In all parts of the country
there has been larger acreage titled
and conditions are such as to induce
farmers everywhere to raise the very
largest product per acre possible. This
means that the country will be favor
ed WIN abundance III quantity; and
that farmers. though receiving louvre
prices than year ago, will neverthe-
less obtain liberal net results. High
prices for meats may continue for a
period, since more time is required for
increasing supplies; but it is known
that consumption of meats has been
checked, and a very con
siderable increase in the supply Of
hogs will occur this year, which is al
ready affecting the price of such pro-
ducts.

After lillian had permeated the
very atmosphere for months, invading
every conversation and upsetting all
Mrs. Cables rules and regulations
and discipline, that muchtried woman
of course noticed II when whole day
passed with no mention OF Lillian
name. For Isabel to refrain from
singing her adored ones praises was
almost too good to be true.
A whole week. however, went by
and Mrs. Gable saw Isabel actually
returning to her usual state Of child
hood naturalness. II was as though
she had emerged from some malign
spell. Curiosity finally overcame her
mothers caution.

Stanley Ketchel
Knocks Out Jim
Smith Readily
Puts Newcomer Away in Fifth Round
Of Scheduled Ten-Round Bout
with Swing to Jaw.

NEW YORK, June 1l.--Stanley Ketchel
knocked out Jim Smith Of New York mid
way In the fifth round of a scheduled
ten round bout at the National Sporting
club last night by a right swing to the jaw
IL was rough going all the way, and
both men were guilty Of holding, although
under tho referees announcement they
were allowed to fight with one hand free
in tho cllnches.
Smith, a newcomer, looked the stronger,
ana had about eight pounds the better Of
the weights, Somewhat TO Ketchers sur
prise, he showed nothing OF u novice's
diffidonce, and went right after his man
from tho tap of the bell.
Smiths aggressiveness did not allow
Ketchel to fight In his usual open style.
From beginning to end, it was one con-
tinuous series of clinches, with Ketchel
ripping In uppercuts that Jared Smith
! to his toes, whenever he could tear loose
an opening.
Smith had a shade at the end of the first,
although he slipped to the floor heavily
in avoiding an uppercut. Ketehel landed
heavily with lefts to the stomach during
the second, but Smith was quick to come
back with his share OF body blows.
In the third Ketchel dug in heavily with
guard and had him dazed at the bell.
Smith staggered the champion with two
left hooks to the jaw in the fourth, but
Ketchers vitality brought him back in a
twinkling and for the remainder of the
round he out-fought his man.
In the fifth Ketchel played heavily for
the body. Smith was growing slower, and
missed many wild swings. His fault
throughout the fight was poor judgment
Of distance, and in accuracy. Ketchel
forced his man to the ropes.
As they broke at the referees command
and took the center q the ring Ketchel
saw his chance. Smith was trying tc

Brighton Beach Races Give Taste
Call for More.


NEW YORK. June 1.-THE recent success
OF the Neutrality-suspicious. race at Brighton
Beach has aroused demand In many quar-
tiers for the construction OF a motordrome in
this city in which metropolitan events can
be held. The fact that smaller cities, such
as indianapolis, Atlanta and Los Angeles.
can build and support modern automobile
race courses has started the general query
among motor sport lovers hereabout as to
why this city is being outstripped In the
race. This movement has been quiclened
by the announcement of the proposed con-
struction Of a magnificent motordrome ON
the road between Philadelphia and Atlantic
City.
While there seems to be a general desire
on the part OF the metropolitan motor trade
10 see movement begun looking toward
the construction of an automobile speed
course In this vicinity that will be second
to none In the world. the most insistent
exponent of the scheme probably is John
I. Rainier, whose sentiments In this re-
gard are already we'll known. Mr.. Rainier.
who has been one OF the most consistent
supporters Of automobile racing on road
and tracks, now declares that a great
motordrome for New York City is abso-
lutely necessary.

BASKET BALL RULE CHANGES
Two qualifications Have Been Made
for the IntercOlleState Game.

Two qualifications Have Been Made
for the intercollegiate Game.
NEW YORK, June 1.-two important
changes in the basket ball rules were
made by the intercollegiate basket ball
rules committee at the annual meeting held
in this city recently. The first had to
do with coaching, a rule being promulgated
to obviate the members of any team being
helped by one of their number on the side
lines, and the second change took up the
question OF foul and the ruling out OF q
player for committing such, Last year a
man came under the ban after committing
five fouls, and was forced out of the
game. The rule this season is something
OF modification, it being held that the
old rule worked an injustice. Under the
present rule a player committing four
personal fouls is ruled from the game,
but the term personal fouls" is defined
to mean the more fragrant violations, and
not the mere technical ones, such as run
ming with the ball.
The rule first mentioned reads: There
shall be no coaching during the progress
OF the game by anybody connected with
either OF the teams" For the violation
on OF this the offending side shall be
warned once by the referee and II the
oILenAS IL u Tree throw I0r tne basket
The rule in relation to fouls reads: "A
player making four personal fouls shall
be disqualified for the remainder of the
game" Personal fouls" are distinguished
as holding, blocking, pushing, tripping
running into, or charging an opponent, and
unnecessary roughness. It is thought that
this rule in particular will work to good
advantage 1t will have the effect OF
eliminating the roughness the same as was
intended by the old rule, and at the same
time not force q penalty ON player where
there was no intent to violate in a man.
ner which would call forth condemnation
The committee took up each rule in de-
tail. but there were no other important
changes The reports from the members
In the various sections OF the country who
were present showed that the rules in the
entirety had met with general approval, and
in the west 1t was stated that the inter
collegiate rules were supplanting the rules
