Cal Prepares to Cut Sox Squad
Johnston to Go

Manager Callahan is preparing the
axe for the tender necks of some of
the youthful members of the White
Sox training squad.
Ernie Johnston was the first to go,
and Ernie landed a nice job with the
Los Angeles team. Cal has strongly
,intimated that several other young
jsters, will be left on the coast for
further seasoning. Both the manager
and President Cenaiskey are boosters
of California as school for ballplay-
ers, many veterans and former big
league stars being there to prep the
youngsters. ~
Jimmy Johnston, the, Southern
League outfielder, who got chance
with the Sox because of his speed on
the bases and in the field, is appar-
emily slated for job on the coast.
Cal will shift Davy Jones from the
second to the first squad either today
or tomorrow and Johnston viii. drop
back to the seconds. This is pretty
sure indication that he will not be
carried through the season. Jones
seems slated for the regular left field
berth, Mattick for center and Collins
for right. Dr.
! Ernie Johnston, the pesky critter,
became a native son over night and
contributed the blow that beat his old
pals yesterday. In the eleventh in
ming, with the score 2 all, Ernie poked
sacrifice fly that scored man from
third. go
Bob Smith, the new Sox hurler,
worked four innings against Los An
geles and in that time pestled for
four hits and one run. Smith had
control and nerve and acted like a
regular pitcher. This is only his sec
ond time out, but he looks like the
best of the new men,

The excellent results of'the 1872 year so
far as -iia in sales is concerned were
largely the reflection Of advances made
outside the Bell system. The so-called
outside" business of Western Electric
has increased almost 100 per cent since
1906, and the European sales last year
also were of record proportions. The
81 O00, ,o00 of business billed last year was
ACCOMPLISHED by an energetic selling cam
paign in the face of increasing competi-
tion. 1t is a fact not generally appre-
ciated that Western Electric meets
more varied competition than does Gen
eTal Electric or Westinghouse.

of 5000 customers in the United States

where the owner of real estate has trans
ferred the care of his property to the
real estate department of a trust COM
pany and learns how economically and
faithful all his wishes are fulfilled, that
he makes a will in which he appoints
the trust company executor or trustee
and administrator of his estate. He is
assured that in the even of his death ths
will continue IN
his real estate property well as his
personal property with the same fidelity
as IL he were alive, for the benefit of his
wife and family. Where the trust COM
pany is consulted in the drawing up OF
the will. the power is usually given tn
the trustee to sell real estate or per-
sonal property at its discretion
II is a common occurrence with trust
companies that they save estates in
their keeping large sums of money by
disposing of property before IL depreci-
ates in value. In such cases. the trust
officer and the real estate department
manager work hand in hand. They have
expert appraisers who know in advance
whether real estate is going to depreci-
ate. In one instance, a local trust com
pany recently saved an estate $4,000, by
selling a business block belonging tn
an estate in its charge, although the
beneficiaries were at first opposed to the
sale.
In connection with the real estate de-
partment there is frequently a title de-
partment where validity Of titles are
confirmed at lowest cost. II has also
facilities for securing the best real
estate mortgage loans for investors, eth
er for those who want this kind of Sc
curity or for investment of trust funds
in their care. Because of these and
