l.. J. & l.. corset seruice IS pos sibly q greater factor tn the up-building of our
 Corset business than the fa- nous makes of corsets tUe keep in stock at aH tin1es-aUaiL your self of this
 Service
l.. J. & L..

HIS mdIUoT Ol corset SeTVlcc is of such vast importance that we are going to explain ourselves and take our chances of being considered mOnotonous.
 By CORSET SERVICE we mean corset fitting. See ing that you, a particular type of woman, are be- ing fitted with the cor set, whether front lacing or back lacing, whether Cos sard or Memo, that is best suited to the type of figure your figure repres e nts. Should we not exert such ex- treme care, possibly you would be none the wiser un- til the defects would begin to show and discomfort and poor health result.
 To assure you the sort of cor set service that we want you to have-a perfect service, we have had our corsetieres attend schools of corsetry. Here they made actual fit tings on normal figures and abnormal figures of every sort. They were taught how to correct and ease many fa- male ills and how to fit a woman so that she will only be conscious of her corset through its h ell D f II lness, through its support and its comfort.
 That is what L., J. & l.. Cor set Service means.

Athletics is a better preparation

Rev. F'r. John Cavanaugh. president
OF The University OF Notre Dame last
niSht when questioned concerning
the continuance of sports at \otre

has been the opinion of some educa-
tors that il would be necessary to do
away with athletics during the war.
the local educator brought out some
strong points for the continuation OF
all sporting activities.
The statement made by Fr. Cav

sition in this matter is entirely cor

of certain newspapers and univer-
sity presidents towards college ath-

college presidents give up their golf

athletics is a better preparation for

.LeOen Baseball
Boosters Turn
Out at Meeting
BY Walter \. Phelan.

Does south Bend want baseball
This was the question asked at a
meeting of II men at Kable's ban
quet hall Thursday night.
These II men met in answer to
a call for the organization of a
booster club 10 boost baseball
one business man was represent
ed in the crowd two were newspa-
permen. one was Ed Smith and the
rest were loyal fans who wanted TO
do something 10 keep the ball team
in South Bend.
A personal canvass Of the business
district by FIVE or six committees Of
two men each was decided upon as
the best plan for disposing of three
or four thousand season ticket books
which are necessary TO insure the
success of the two-cent baseball
plan.
To Map Out Districts.
For this purpose a committee Of
three and Ed Smith will map out
the districts to be covered. They will
ask men who are workers to give
a small share Of their time and take
a certain section of the district and
give It a thorough canvass. Every
person in that section viii be reach
ed by the workers.
As soon as the districts are map
ped out the work will start and by
the time the ball club returns from
Grand Rapids and Muskegon a con-
siderable portion of the pasteboards
to be disposed of should be sold
There is no question but that the
first sale of season books was lack
ing i'm the necessary punch TO put il
across. The Chamber of Commerce
gladly took hold of the proposition
the mem ers Of the various bureaus
put the books around 20 stores.
business houses, factories, cafes and
cigar stores. But there the work
stopped.
There was no follOw-up method
used. once the tickets were in the
store they were placed on a shelf.
IF someone volunteered 20 buy a tic
ket it was sold If they didn't al
right. The few places that pushed
the sale of tickets reported good
success he rest returned the major
share Of their books
Reports from the Chamber Of
Commerce show that there are sew
eral hundred tickets yet Unaccount-
ed for. But the most of them have
been checked ur and the total num-
Der sold counting those not account
ed for now Will fall below 1000.
When the books were pu: out il
was believed that the working peo-
pie would be the ones who would
he hard 10 sell II has proven just
the opposite The wOrkinEman
bought his book early and uses it
at every opportunity often he pass
es il TO his hoy who makes use OF
it. Nearly 1000 kids have been adj

son tickets since the team has been
home. These kids did not buy their

These are the people whom the

ping was in 1912, when the Russians
were said TO have had huge balloon
for that purpose; but nothing was
done with it. In 1847, however, the
Austrians, when attacking Venice,
sent up paper fire balloons, which were
to drop bombs into the town. But they
