Rival Managers Tell
How 1t Happened

"It was the first test of strength
and the breaks were against u.s."
said Fred Mitchell, manager of the
Cubs. However, credit is due
Ruth for his wonderful pitching.
The Cubs have ferreted out the
weak spots of the Red Sox and the
score will tell a different story to-
morrow. 1 have not decided who
shall pitch, but it is likely to be
Tyler"
I'VE got the jump on them to-
day, and the Red Sox are conf
dent of repeating tomorrow" said
Manager Barrow, of the Boston
club. Ruth pitched great ball
and I certainly shall start him
back on the Cubs when we play in
Boston. haven't made up my
mind who shall pitch tomorrow.
1t will be either Mays or Bush.
Baseball is a long ways from dead,
judging on the enthusiasm and size
of to-day's crowd. We will even
have a bigger opening day crowd
in Boston"

Is the Dazzling Beautiful Big Water Spectacle Holiday Dream" Round at the Lyric Real
 Rght-and- Honest-to- Goodness or Camouflage

Annette Kellerman all she knows about swimming; Mir. Sam Mahoney is the originator of Holiday Dreams and he has medals and crosses and bars and everything else you ever heard of for swimming stunts and he's some artist when 1t comes to the water
 Put that palm on the pedestal" somebody called out. Janet is going to break the parafin this afternoon" a wee little voice .shivered, which means that the tank is "parafined" over the top until it is ready for use and the first little Venus who jumps in, breaks the surface, if you please. Lights" they were calling, and peo pie were rushing to and fro and mals ing ready for the big act and I was greatly interested to see the workings of the water mechanismi 1t seems that there are two tanks employed by the show; one goes on week ahead like the press agent while the other is in use; for this tank to be set up rop- erly the stage must be cut away; the tank is lowered to the basement and then covering is made to set the stage back intact for the rest of the acts; this requires vast and minute work as the tank comes in small pieces each little block numbered one two. three. and up. while the iron bars brace 1t together.
 It is really very clever piece of work; an achievement in stage mech. anism which requires the most ex- acting care and which holds the life of a dozen or more people in the bal ance.
 And then somebody asks, did you find out what becomes of the divers after they get in the tank? An, there's where the camouflage comes in, or is 1t camouflage?
 They can't stay in the water all that time; the only opening in the tank ap- parentiy Is at the top, and they don't come out of that. So what becomes of them?
 Camouflage? The quickness of the hand deceives the eye and leaves the spectator in wonder
 Camouf1age? I wonder if we ever really fool anyone worth foolinr bv all this camouflage?

Putting the sTxick. Into Econom
 SAVE BY SPENDING
px " IT IT TxyT.oR

ny We He Js IA LOn President of the Retail Credit Mems National Association. Some years ago a very delightful customer of the store. in discussing her account, said: 1T just had to have that opera coat. MT. Taylor You know. when we married. my husband and agreed on a splendid plan of economy" And what was that?" I asked. we decided" she laughed, ito economize on the necessities and have all the luxuries." laughed with her. and thought it no more than the witty epigram of clever woman; but recently the thought has come back
 to me as being particularly applicable
 to the present moment.
 It has been said that we are a na-
 tion of spenders; that we spend more
 because we make more. But the truth
 lies deeper than that.
 We earn more just because we
 spend.
 It has been free distribution in every
 line that has made this country what
 it Is. Our standards of living are
 higher than those of any other coun-
 try. because our standards of spend-
 ing are higher. This Is what has
 made America what 1t Is today. Cir
 culation of money Is to a country
 what rain is to the soil, and never
 was the need greater than now not to
 restrict circulation.
 One of the greatest calamities that could befall us would be too sudden lowering of our standards of living. The government Is urging economy wisely even enforcing it--but some people may take this too literally It is the patriots duty to save in bi irur 1n1 hllies-coal, food, fuel, etc But for woman who can afford good clothes to think of buying none at all for season would be as illukical as ampu- tating your foot to get rid of a corn. Save for the government-emphat- ically, yes! Adapt ourselves to war conditions yes! Many men are eagerly giving their time. business or profession to the government. But just as faithfully as those at the front are doing their pit We in the rear must do ours-and by we mean the great spending pub lie.
 Every shop cannot be made into machine shop, every factory cannot become a intuition factory. There must be funds to run the war. In order to collect taxes there must be things to tax. Business must be kept going. and this can only be if we keep on spending money. The luxurious opera cloak means money put in circulation--to the sales person who sold it, to the packer who packed It, to the man who delivered
 It; to the seamstress, the clothnaker.
 the furrier. and by each of them in
 turn to the butcher, the baker and the
 movie theatre. CT luxury" made in-
 comes for the many.
 My friends words come back to me:
 Let's economize on the necessities and
 have all the luxuries.
