Springtime
in the Shops

have the designs been more fascin-
atingly lovely. There is a distinction
to the models rarely seen outside those
exclusive shops where superior sales
women condescendingly offer IAN in
expensive little model at $685." yet the
lovely creations shown at Astrich's
present such exclusive designs as
hand-sewn lisere, hand-embroidered
French hair braids (real imported cat
erpillar brady, and other models
touched with hand-embroidery and
applique at prices ranging from $3.50
to SIS. The new lace-like hairbraids;
which are so delightfully."- becoming are
extensively shown, while for imme-
diate wear there are offered the smart
est of little hats, with severe edges
softened by bit of tulle.
The New Oxfords
There is so much in favor of the
oxford as a spring footwear model
that its appearance in fashionable
boot shops is most welcome. Trim,
smart, comfortable and different" 1t
is sure to gain a tremendous vogue this
spring, for all the fashion authorities
sanction it, and the Walk-Over Boot
Shop, 226 Market street, are showing
now one of the prettlest of the new
models. 1t is a black laced oxford,
with a straight tip defined with a line
of perforations, and the low walking
heel which finishes 1t. commends this
model to the practical miss, while its
style and distinction recommend 1t to
those who like the newest and smart
est mode.

Gardening has become so popular
hat the shops are offering smart gar
den aprons, and one of the prettiest
of these designs is shown at the Wo-
mans Exchange, Third street at Herr.
IT is a white apron with a lovely con-
ventional flower design in rose, blue
and black, with pockets of black and
white stripes set very low. For those
who use their aprons for sewing or
knitting, big bags to match are Of
fered, while a number of new knitting
bags in novel patterns of cretonne
have just made their appearance at
this interesting shop, and are offered
at most reasonable prices.
The Spring Dict
We would be far less subject to
colds, grippe and spring fever if we
adopted a more natural and whole
some diet in the spring, and any doc
tor will advise the abundant use of
olive oil in connection with salads for
healthful spring menus. The Stude-
baker Grocery Store (Mr. George
Barnes), Second street. at the crossing
of State, offers the highest grade of
imported olive oil-the Tuscan olive
has the rich fruity flavor that is only
found in oil secured from the first
pressing of the most luscious olives at
their ripest point.

Sure Way to Get
Rid of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it.. This de-
stroys it entirely To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to mois-
ten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.

COAST HITTERS
DOWN To FORM
Are Hitting the Ball Stead
lily; Johnston Is
Leader.

san Francisco. Calf. May 26.-With
the second month of the Pacific Coast
baseball league season has come the
more normal batting averages Of the
various players. With only two ex-
ceptions. the regulars have dropped
from their 400 and 500 percent posi-
tions and now are in the midst of
their struggle either to reach or TO
maintain their places over the 500
percent mark Bassler, of Los An
geles of Ryan of Salt Lake were the
last OF the regulars to cling to the
400 figures.
From present appearances, 1t does
not seem at all likely that there viii
be any man capable OF exciting the
fans with the home run habit of such
players as Ping Bodie and Bunny
Brief. With one quarter of the sea-
son behind them no one as yet has
made any approach to breaking into
two figures. With one or two excep-
tons. the three base hits baGged by
any individual may be counted on the
fingers of one hand
Neither are there any Jimmy John
stons in the league when it comes TO
the matter of base stealing. Corhan,
OF san Francisco, with less than a
score of pliers to his credit, is not
experiencing any serious competition
thus far. This is, in part, ascribed to
the fact that the catchers on the va
riou5 teams are keeping a sharp eye
out 10 second base and are throwing
10 that point with good result.

BUNNY BRIEF
Gets TRYOUT.
Salt Lake Infielder Is
Making Good With
Pirate Team.

New York. May 26.-Bunny Brief.
who is working on 80 days trial as
the regular first sacker Of the Pitts
burgh Pirate, should be highly elated
over the fact that crack first basemen
are scarce.
This fact alone brought Bunny back
to the major leagues He was pur-
chased recently from the Salt Lake
club by Barney Dreyfus. who was up
against it for an initial Dagger, and
if he shows sufficient hitting and
fielding ability he viii have a regu-
lar job with the Pittsburgh club.
Otherwise il will be back to the
Coast league for Bunny and another
brief stay in the majors
Several years ago Brief was given
a tryOut with the Browns. but al that
time he was very much of a STRIPPING,
not heavy enough for the job and he
failed to stick. IN the Coast league
last season Brief had the best year of
his career. He finished the season
with a batting average of -3l4 and
the title OF home run king OF his
league in tow He smashed out 80
home runs, which is said to be a
worlds record The major league rec
ords since 1899 show that Gavvy era
Vath holds the title in the big show
with "a, made in 1915.
So the chances of Bunny making
good are bright. and il he sticks there
will be a great load of worry lifted
from Jimmy Callahan's shoulders, for
when ne failed TO land Fred Merkle
he was at his wits end for a player 70
