Folly Of Bigness
Shown by Frisco
Louis D. 5randeis Says, "lnsatiate
Expansion" Is to Be Blamed for
RecelVership.

'Insatiste expansion at any cost"
was the real reason why the st. Louis
& San Francisco Railroad system was
thrown into the hands of a receiver,
according 10 Louis d. Brandeis. He
said:
The 81. Louis & San Francisco
Railroad receivership, like the pres
ent condition of the New Haven and
of the Boston & Maine Railroads will
be valuable lessons on the folly of
bigness purchased at high cost. or
indeed Of bigness purchased at any
cost even If low. Because there is
a unit Of greatest efficiency point
beyond which the efficiency of both
financial and operating management
diminishes with increasing size, and
that limit was far exceeded by the
Frisco just as it was by the New
Haven.

a blessing to the railroads Of the
whole country and both investors and
the general public will be the gain

ST. LOUIS, June THE actual

puted from the total assessment and
personal property, is approximately
S923,O4420O
In 1918 the assessment Of real es-

assessment Of personal property to-

total estimated assessment is S599,

The assessed valuation Is regarded
as being about % per cent. of the
real wealth of the city.
The figures Of the Assessors office
show the real estate assessment last
year was 1858. 2O707O. and the assess

ought to be encouraged. Nothing has
added more to the bowling interest than
the mere fact that the alleys and sur.
roundings have been so improved that g
man does not hesitate to invite his wife
or sweetheart to spend the evening al
bowling.
Many ladies have become great. en-
thusiasts and warm patronesses Of the

proper retirement for the morning, after
noon or evening hours, and there indulge
in the healthful recreation Of bowling;
and there is nothing which so endears
and cements friendship between the sexes
as recollections of amusements shared in
common in exercises where all take part
as they do in bowling.
A leading lady bowler states as follows:
Bowling is no longer considered
merely a sport, but a most beneficial ex-
ercise, and women may indulge in it as
well as men with the same benefit. OF
all the indoor sports, 1 do not know OF
one that offers both the physical bene-
fits and mental stimulus that bowling
does Thank goodness, it is no longer
considered bold or vulgar for q woman
to frequent public bowling alley and
indulge in this enjoyable exercise. For
the woman whose day Is taken up earn
ing her livelihood, bowling is indeed a
blessing, because once you learn the
game it fascinates, and you need not be
told that your health will be benefited
by it, as you will conclude, whether 1t
is or not, you enjoy the game and the
physical benefits are secondary con-
sideration. think bowling even better
than a gymnasium course, because it
takes a great deal Of stick-to-itiveness to
derive any benefit from the latter"
While bowling is a pleasure, bowling
as a form OF exercise should be practiced
regularly. Three times week is not
too often. 1t sends poor circulation and
indigestion to the -four Winds" providing
one does not include overeating and
stimulants in the fray.
Women are now competing with the
men in this form Of exercise, and 1t is no
longer anything wonderful for a woman
to defeat q man. as 1t is not the strength,
but the skill. that wins.

BENEFIT GAME At
GEORGETOWN TUESDAY
Blue and Gray Nine to Meet
Griffith's Recruits to Aid
Flood Sufferers.

There will be game Of base ball
Tuesday, April 8, on Georgetown field
between Griff1th's recruits and the
Georgetown nine. The game will be for
the benefit of the sufferers in the flood
district. The game has been arranged
by Mrs. John P. Barton in the interests
of the Woman's Democratic Study Club.
The admission will be 25 cents. and the
seats will be on sale at the gate.
It is probable that Griffith will send a
pretty fast club over to Georgetown. It
is a we'll known fact that the recruits
this year are the strongest and most ca
pable bunch that have ever represented
the Nationals, and they are bound to
make an excellent showing. It is likely
that Barton and Boehling will do the
pitching for the Nationals, while George
town will send in the best it has in order
to make a good showing.
