the services Of a number of German
prisoners to be used in building.
The price asked is $1.6O a day. Build

employment for German prisoners,

effect. Certainly these prisoners
should not be maintained in idleness,
while Americans must work and make
sacrifices as they never did before.

CURLY Hair.

Curly hair is constitutional, heredi-

because it Is fiat. Straight hair is cylin-
drical Being fiat, the hair has natu-
raj tendency to assume spiral shape.
Cutting has no effect, as the cause OF
the fairness lies in the shape of the
follicle. Hair issuing from slanting,

NEW YORK. Nay 15--If the Giants
~ ard White soz meet in the worlds
series this fall they win be the fourth
pair Of teams to meet twice in sue
cession for the title.
Baseball history dating back to
Issf shows that but three sets OF
teams have accomplished this feat
before. and the Cubs and the IL
gers are the only teams in modern
baseball history who have munOp-
olIEed the big series for two
straight years.
The famous Cubs OF 1905 to 1908
won three straight pennants for Chi
caEo in the National league, and their
first worlds series In modern cOmpe-
tition between the National and
American leagues resulted in defeat
al the hands Of the White SoX. The
next two years. 1907 and 1908. the
Cubs battled Detroit in the fan clas-
sic and on both occasions they an
uexed the bunting.
Another interesting feature is the
fact that the Cubs. Tigers and Giants
are the only clubs that have won
three straight pennants in either big
league since the American league was
formed
Rare Performance.

pfonship prior 10 the formation Of the
