MORE EXPENSE! CLOTHES
TO MATCH MUSIC NOW

PHILADELPHIA, May q. = The
noiseless piano is on the way, and
the young lady in the above soon
will cease to terrify.
Mrs. Mary Hallock Greenwalt has
been demonstrating to friends here a
mechanical apparatus which plays
piano music in colors. 1t simply
gives the correct color value" of
each note, and makes you feel as
though you were listening to music
when, as matter of fact, you're only
looking at music.
Mrs. Greenwalt, before her mar
riage, was a concert pianist of some
standing, and therefore doesn't play
ragtime in colors, but her ''Triumphal
March from Aida" is said to be a
fine combination of rich puppies and
high carmines, and on the same
theory it is predicted that very par
ticular bridal pair may have the
Lohengrin music in white and con-
ventional black, or may choose a pro-
gram to match the brides hair.
In future, when you attend a
musicale, you may have a dress to
match the music.
American military bands, equipped
with variations of Mrs. Greenwalt's
device might drive the foe into a
fronting range by projecting over
his lines such airs as ''What'll We
Do With Him, Boys?' or might blind

LIGHT COMES TOO LATE
FOR MINOR MACNATES
By H. C. HAMILTON

Omitted press Staff Cores pondent)
NEW YOR, May 81 Those minor
league baseball magnates who last
November refused to sanction the re-
districting of minor leagues during the
meeting at Louisville probably are
beginning to see the light now-when
bit is too late.
Several leagues which are steering
nearer and nearer the rocks of de-
struction, and those which went over
the brink, might have been saved if
the vote had gone differently.
The day has gone now when con-
certed effort can be made to save the
minors. They must live or die to-
gether, and the territory they leave
open if they do succumb may be picked
up when better days come again.
The international League, one of
those to vote in favor Of a redistrict-
ing, offers an object lesson to other
leagues. When this league skidded
| around the corners of mid-winter and
voter to disband, the territory was
left wide open, and players We're de-
clared free agents. The Toronto club
for instance, lost heavily when Napo-
leon Lajoie signed to manage the
| TYld It1h nf
players were snapped up by the Am
erican association. If the best cities
of this league had been combined with
the best of the American association
there never would have been any trou-
BILE The teams dropped from each
circuit could have been embraced in q
stronger and more compact organiza-
tons.
Now Lincoln and Denver have faded
from the scenery in the Western
League Providence has gone into
the Eestern League in the east Rich
mond has been left without club
Montreal has no baseball of the pro
/ fessional kind These cities could
have been taken care of in the dis
j tricting plan figured out by Ed Barrow
The men who fought the cedistrictine
knew they were ready for the skids
/ but they grimly held on, hoping
against hope that something would
happen.
