been ordered TO meet the team in

must pass before Frank Baker or

but Hughey High is in shape to play
today and Ray Caldwel1's leg is on
the mend.
Nick Cullops' physician advises an
other weeks rest so that two weeks
more should see the Yanks' stars
back in full force.
With these reports from the Dono-
van hospital, another week OF the big
league struggle finds the Dodgers and
Yanks still at the head OF their re-
spective circuits. The half way
mark has been passed and at this
time last year. Boston and Philac
delphia, the pennant winners, were
up In front, never to be headed.
Today marks the end of the west
ern invasion OF the American league.
1t has not been a success from a
western point of view. After the
last intersectional battle today the
teams swing westward while the Ma
tional league map switches towards
the eastern coast Eastern clubs will
come home, all in the first division,
no matter what happens today. The
next two weeks while their cripples
are still on the side lines, will be
critical ones for the leading Yanks.
The Red Sox have just begun to
climb. Detroit, and Cleveland and
Chicago entrenched on their home
fields, are sure to cause Donovan's
men a lot of trouble, and it will take
all the fighting spirit which the team
has shown through its recent trou-
bles to hold them up.

of a esries to be brought about by the
society that is studying the eastern
economic situation, also contains a
worning against excessive optimism
on the part of Germany. Prof. Junge
spent five years investigating the Rus
sian attempt to Europeanize Turkes-
tan, and he warns the Germans
against repeating the methods which
Russia tried in that part OF the eNar
East. The Russians, he declared, had
taken only a merchants view of the
opportunities presented. They had
worked the market for all it was worth
without looking to the future Occi-
dental fashions were introduced in
order to increase the demand for Eu-
ropean goods, and similarly, imports
We're forced by other means. Long
credits were extended that involved
the Russian merchant in the fate of
the native buying firms and he was
finally obliged to squeeze the latter
for payment, with the result that many
of the native firms were ruined. VAL
liable Oriental goods of artistic de-
sign were initiated by European fac
les and sent into Turkestan to dis
place the home product.
In suggesting a commercial pollok
for Germany in Turkey, Prof Junge
declared that Turkish business life
should be allowed to reamin Turkish
instead of being made German. Ger
many, he said, should indulge in no
thought of making Turkey a part of
the German economic system. He
even favored a protective policy in
Turkeys behalf which should act
against imports from Germany as
we'll as those from other countries.

Silk Hosiery
Is More Now
Than Before

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. ATLANTA
girls of all classes are wearing nearly
seventy-five per cent more silk hos
iery, as compared to cotton than they
did few years ago.
Not only do the daughters of the
rich and well-to-do wear silk at all
times, but nearly every shop girl and
working girl, even on meagre salary
has a few pairs of silk stockings to
dress up" in, while some of them
wear silk stockings all the time, even
if they can't scrape up money enough
to half sole their shoes and build up
their rundown heels.
The change has been partly brought
about, it is said, by changed standards
of living, and partly, too, by the fact
that SILK hosiery is not, comparatively
speaking, as costly as it once was.
Then also comes the explanation
that prevailing styles show a good
deal more of the damsel's ankles, and
sometimes, more than the ankles. This
is more than was formerly allowed to
show, and it is but natural to want to
make them look as attractive as pos
sible.
Ten years ago, except when he
wind was blowing, it was impossible
to tell whether a lady had on silk or
cotton, or none at all, but now the
