The banking problem involved IL
one which concerns all banks alike.
Its solution does not depend upon

SAMMIES APATHETIC
TOWARD WORLD SERIES
BIGGER GAVE AHEAD

Field Headquarters OF the American
army in France. Oct. 9-The Sammies
are s.ngularly apathetic regarding the
outcome OF the worlds series baseball
games being played in Chicago and
New York. Possibly this is because
they are engrossed in the more seri.
Gus business of war This is particul-
arly true Of the contingents that have
been longest in France.
Who won the first game?" asked
several Sammies. And then: We'll,

The first detailed account of the
first game reached the camps Sunday
night in the Paris edition of the Lon
don Daily Mail. The account gave
New fork's side of the game, play by
play and then Chicago's side This
was very perplexing way to des-
cribe a baseball game for the Ameri-
cans
There has been little betting. most

ey There seem to be more support
ers Of the Giants than OF the White
Sox, Few of the Sammies save those
Mailing from Chicago, are backing the
Sox.
Something of the grim football spr-
1t OF Old Yale, something of the dash
that made Alonzo Staggs Chicago Uni.
versity elevens famous, was witnessed
at Divisional field day on Sunday.
1t was football weather, sharp and
crisp with low hanging clouds. A stiff
wind was blowing.
General Pershing. Major General
Sibert and a number OF other officers
as well as Medill Mccormick, of Chi.
cago were among the spectators.
General Pershing presented silver
trophy cups to the winning teams.
The pretty girls that always pack
the Harvard stadium were lacking but
feminlty was represented by real
French princess from neighboring
chateau. who stood besides General
Pershing and graciously presented
consolation trophies.

Women Steady Workers.

II used TO be said that women could
not be depended upon like men To
work steadily, and. consequently,
ought not to expect SO much pay as
men employed az similar work.
While it would be foolish for any
young woman To stay at work when
physically unfit. ii is believed that
most women now continue at their
work as constantly as men. Any
woman who is unable to do so should
take Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. the old. reliable medicine
for women, and get the aid she needs
to enable her to Keep at work.
