Which Do You Like Worst?

This is the greatest known way for
undecided people to make up their
minds.
None but a strong minded woman
can ever decide which OF two or three
hats she likes "the best" particularly

Popular bellies have been known TO
have similar troubles with their
sweethearts. Which do l like best Is
often a momentous question.
Why not try the other way?
Decide which, Of men. or hats, or
attractive dates" you like the worst.
and then proceed to eliminate.
From there you can factor out In
the grade of desirability, until you
actually find yourself at a decision.

the very good reason that they saw
Building Inspector Beck and came to
an understanding with him, with the
result that the soldier boys will pro-

and also for the windows, after which
no more interference will be made by
the Building Inspector, and the basket

At the conference between the mil

Indeed the city official showed the
mlitianen just how they could, with
little. expense, comply with his de-
mands. Wire guards will be made and
submitted to the Building Inspector for
his approval.
This satisfactory settlement of the
dispute is greeted with much JOY by
the soldiers. who are anxious to carry

hold track meet. 1t is expected that
within few days the guards will be

all of sudden. the bottom dropped

was because Portsmouth, was not IN tho
league to help out Norfolk. because
Portsmouth was In the league. Now,
there's a reason why Norfolk didn't

the reason. In fact, there nre soma
Norfolk willing TO Sell.
But aside from all this. the report
from Norfolk says that Norfolk viii
not come Into the league with EoanoKs
and Danvllle, unless these two teams
give guarantee of $500 Tor each
series, and that comes from Umohun-
dro. In the same breath the same
man says that Norfolk would be VIII
ing to sell for fair price. Now. why
not get together and buy them out1
That's the way to do. But call tneif

them outright or else tell them what
they must do, and II they don't come
