MANAGER Of AUTO SHOW
TALKS ON ADVERTISING
Monte Stone Declares That 1t Pays
To Advertise In Newspapers.
Expect Great Display.

Before leaving for his trip to the
West and North. General Manager
Monte d. Stone. of the Richmond
Automobile Dealers Show. Inc, had
a few words to say about the value
OF newspaper advertising.
We intend to do everything to
make tina big show which opens in
the Grays Afmory big success and
1t will be. II the newspapers get be-
hind it, he remarked.
We can turn the Grays' Armory
into a tropical garden which will be
the wonder and admiration Of every
one who sees 1t. but that won't amount
to SO much unless the newspapers
tell about 1t and get the people in
terested.
I'VE can furnish a Hawaiian or
chestra, Just as we intend to do, but
all the Hawaiian orcheetras on tour
the newspapers didn't have some
thing to say about them.
I'VE are going to have dancing
every night. maybe a prize dance or
two, but that will not make the auto
show unusually interesting unless the
newspapers pass the word on TO their
readers.
We know we are going to have
the finest collection of cars ever seen
IN the Souln. the newest creations in
body designs. the last word in en-
gines and the most beautiful chassis
anyone ever laid their eyes on, but
1t is up to the newspapers to say So
The newspapers are as necessary to
the success of the show as harmony
on ball team.
You know the story about George
Stallings and his players In spring
training. Stallings was giving them
n talk at skull practice. We can
have a great set of batteries, but II
we don't have harmony on the team
We won't be in IT. said George. We
may be all right for an infield. but
We gotta have harmony. We have

BOSTON RED SOX PICKED
TO REPEAT NEXT. YEAR
Expected To Be Better in 1917 Campaign Than This
Year and Should Be Able To Breeze Through Johnson
Organization With Another Pennant.

Much is expected of Harold jan
win. who made pronounced hit
by his play In the worlds series. jan
win IS the youngest member OF the
team and should improve consider
ably with experience. Larry Gard
ner is aging. but despite that fact,
last season was one of his best years.
He was at his top form especially in
the worlds series. In which he bat
ted harder than any other member OF
his team. Duffy Lewis. Harry Hooper
and Tilly Walker again should guard
the outfeld for the Red Sox as capa-
bly, as they did last season.
1t may be that the Red Sox will go
back. According to all the laws of
the dope. three champions are due to
retrograde.
The Yankees already are strong
enough to win the championship of
the American League, provided In
juries do not pluck the stars from
the lineup as they did last season.
One cannot predict for Chicago. Joe
Jackson and Eddie Collins appear to
be slipping. Yet Chicago's pitching
should be better than in 1915. Comis-
key may acquire a new first base
man. In that event. Chicago may be
stronger than IN 1916. Detroit al
most assuredly will be stronger. Jen-
nings has everything but pitchers,
and he may procure one or two good
ones for next year Washington will
be stronger than in 1915. The ac-
QUESTION OF Leonard and Smith help
ed Griffith's hitting in the autumn.
Milan ought to bat heavier than last
season. Cleveland needs some pitch
ing, which IL probably will get. Chap
man ought to have a better year In
1917 than he had in 1915. Wambs-
ganss will be a vs>sly improved play
err according to Lee Fohl.

1t is pointed out that the major
portion OF the men who came out on
the field each afternoon to give the
varsity practice were members of
fraternities and men who never had
a chance of becoming a first string
man during the season. They knew
this as well as the coach, but they
had the right kind Of school spirit,
and they kept plugging away.
Why Blame Ffatcrnities?
1t Is a known fact that fraternities
exert every effort to get their mem
bers to try out for all branches of
athletics. They do this in. order to
make competition keen. to make the
men fight hard for the positions, and,
incidentally. that the coach may OBJ
tain the best results from the men.
All fraternities like to have their
members on the team, but they do
not try to get them on the squad to
the detriment of any other candidates
for the team. whether they be nom
fraternity men or members Of ono Of
the Greek letter organizations.
1t Is absurd to say that the poor
showing of the Virginia football
eleven this season was due to frater-
nifty activities. The material on hand
did not compare favorably with that
Of previous years. and the poor show
ing can be attributed largely to this.
In 1915 Virginia defeated Tale, lost
to Harvard by = nine-point margin
and emerged victorious over all of
their other opponents Fraternities
existed at Virginia then. In fact, for
ten years previous to this disastrous
seAson, Virginia has been turning out

was also stated that tho fraternities

Meaning of the Crsscant.

The Turkish crescent, although now
regarded as essentially Mohammedan
in significance, was, it appears. of
Christian origin. A crescent moon
was the emblem OF the Byzantine en-
pire and of the Eastern church. The
Turks adopted it as a badge of tri-
umph after the capture of Constan-
tlnople in 1853. With reference to
the crescent, the story of the origin
OF the crescent-shaped Vienna roll is
worth recalling. 1t arose in the six
teenth century, when the Turks were
besieging Vienna Failing to carry it
by assault, they began to mine the
walls. AT that period the city's bake
houses were in the walls under the
notifications, and when the mines
were almost through the sound of the
work was heard in the underground
hakehouses and an alarm was given.
To celebrate this event the bakers of
Vienna adopted the Turkish emblem
as the form in which to mold and
bake their bread

fact is ably demonstrated in her film

real Spanish surroundings in which to
work out the plot.
In addition to excellent acting, the
