A WARNING TO THE GENTLE SEX
REGARDING THE SPLIT SKIRT
Girls, the split skirt is dangerous.
It may not be hard on the eyes of
men, and may facilitate walking, but
it is a mighty poor protection when

Mike Roman owns, or did own,
bulldog. 1t is perfectly moral ami
NAL, but it couldn't stand the sight
of Anna McMannagan's split skirt.
Miss McMannagan visited the Ro-
main home wearing one of the new
tangled garments. Romans bulldog
grabbed her by what the skirt failed
to conceal and closed his jaws. AS
result Anna is painfully hurt, and the
dog is in the pound, awaiting death.

MiIwaukee.-Frederick D. Under

said today that he was running that
road and that neither Geo. w. Per-
kins, J. P. Morgan & Co. nor anyone
else had finger in it.
This is UnderwOOd's answer to the
statement of w. G. Lee, president Of
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men that Perkins brought Under
wood into the Erie in 1910, and that
the only way to deal with the Erie
now is through Morgan & Co. or the

Erie Railroad that his road will ac-
cept the award of the federal medi-
ators under the Newlands act clari-
f1es the Eastern railroad situation.
The string attached to the Erie's
admission of defeat is that no adj
vance granted by the award shall be-
come effective until January, 1915.
But this string has been lightly
hoped over by the union men, who
say that is something for the Erie to
settle with it's own employees.
The only remaining difficulty to
mediation is the request of the rail-
way managers that their eight de-
mands on their employees be arbi-
trated along with the demands of
the men for a 20 per cent raise in pay.
It is believed the railways will with
draw this demand.

John Dunn WAS tho father of the
movement to organize the amateur

work for the players should not be
overlooked and a rousing testimonial
in aid of the Dunn memorial fund

Many Of the horses now racing at
Juarez apparently are coming this
way, Philip Hyams, who raced IN
Kentucky last season, being one of
the latest applicants for stall room.
Hyaxns wants six stalls and Martin
Foley requires fourteen. Foley has
added several horses to his stable

Brevite won at big price here last
spring and supplied Foley with the
money wherewith to carry him over

bad legs.
Hyam's best horse is Granite. a son
of Chuctanunda, who bowed tendon

Many questions have been asked as
to the two fields, with many contend
ing on both sides. Actual measure
ment shows that the new park lis the
larger OF the two. From home plate
to the right field fence in the new
park is exactly 314 feet. In the old
park, however. it was 433 feet, the
fence being eight feet closer in now
than formerly. This is made up by a
thirty-foot fence on that side which
will carry the signs.
The left field fence, however, is
where the room comes in. Left field
fence at the new park is exactly BAT
feet from the home plate as against
the 297 feet of the old park. making
the left field now exactly fifty feet
further away from the batter than
was the case at the old lot.
on the new field the grandstand is
exactly ninety feet from home plate,
the distance required by the rules.
From home plate to the corner of
the centerfield fence is over fifty feet
further than on the old grounds, and
a drive past the center garden will
come pretty near being a home run
for the batter if he can speed 1t UP a
biz on the path,
The clubhouse will be erected in
deep center, with fine, large score
board over its top, which will be con-
nected with the reporters stand on
top of the grandstand by phone.

counting the testimonial performance
for the Dunn memorial fund on Tues

No matter how Incredible Ii might
appear to this generation 1.-The White

through all the adventures that came
upon her in the blessed days before
the war. Nowadays If a man came
before a crowd of people and declared
that he had been swallowed by a
great fish and lived in its belly for
three days and three nights folks
would call his worse names than they
fling at DR.. Cook. Yet, we all know
what happened to Jonah. and it's per-
fectly true, too.
A small paragraph in this accurate
and meritorious column intiInated
that Janet Priest, the clever little
lady with the "A Day and a Knight
company at the Empire. was able to
write her own publicity notices and
probably did so. Nothing could be
farther than what was intended and
what should have appeared If the en-
tire Item had been printed. 1t should
have said that Janet Priest was once
newspaper woman and the clever
ness she displayed in her former ca
reer had followed her into her latest
line of work. AS Moses Steiukopf
says this isn't an apology, Its an ex-
PLANTATION.

This sale. like few other truck sales

1t was not so much a question of buy

When the Atlantic people decided

these manufacturers to a series of
