The AutoStrop Razor is the only safety
razor that sharpens itself, shaves, and
cleans without removing a single part. "A
touch of the thumb adjusts the blade for
close, medium, or light shaving.
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1919-11-21


Today there is one safety razor that
gives you a fresh, keen edge for every
shave. With the AutoStrop Razor you
will get 500 cool, clean shaves from every
dozen blades-an average of ~ satisfying
shaves from each blade.
Like haUing a nezg blade for
every M0Ue
Built right into the frame of the
AutoStrop Razor is a remarkably simple
self-stropping device which keeps the
blade keen-edged as when new-day after
day. 1t smooths the tiny teeth of the blade
into perfect alignment, and gives you a
freshly-sharpened blade in a few seconds
= without taking the razor apart or
removing the blade.
All the comfort of a fresh blade every
day-that's what the AutoStrop Razor
means for you! It ends all the many
shaving troubles due to dulled or dul1ing
blades-"pull," aftersmart, tender spots
on the face. Morning after morning it
gives you a smooth, comfortable shave
with a keen, freshly-stropped edge.

Can you average ~ good shaves
from each razor. blade?
500 h0ves from evey dosem blades?
500 Sh0veS from every dosem blades?

row many satisfying shaves do you
get from one razor blade before it
L. A. begins to pull and scrape?
On the first day, when the blade is
fresh, your shave is smooth and cool.
But very soon your beard begins to dull
the edge. Soon the pulling and scraping
become unbearable. You throw the old
blade away slip a new blade in your
razor and begin the same round again.
The real reason that blades
gY0y dull
Under a microscope, a razor edge is
seen to consist OF hundreds of tiny teeth.
When these teeth are in alignment, the
blade is sharp. But the very first shave
with a new blade bends these teeth out
of alignment, and the blade begins to lose
it's edge.
With most safety razors, there is no
way to smooth the delicate teeth back
into alignment. The original smooth, fine
edge of the blade grows rougher with
every shave.
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1919-11-21

Don'tput up any longer with the scrape
and smart of fast duling blades. Begin
tomorrow to get the comfort of a fresh,
keen edge for every shave. Ask your
dealer today about the AutoStrop Razor

HIGGINS SEEKS
STAR "OUTFIELDER
Wants Bobby Roth, But Cant
Make Connection.

Miller Higgins, Of the Yankees, is
stirl hunting for a bang-up outfielder
for his club, although discouraged over
the prospects of landing Bobby Roth,

Hug says that he has been. offered
several gardeners, but in each case
the club has demanded one of his pitch
ing stars. Hug can't see disposing Of
any of his Crackerjack moundmen, de-
spite the fact that ne mas a sIdeshow
full of them.
Higgins has a squad of outfielders
now, but only W Of them are there
with the bat. Bodie and Lewis welded
the willow with much emphasis last
season. Elmer Miller. however, isn't
player because az his grounG-covering
ability. but Higgins would like to
strengthen his batting order.
Higgins has shown that he can get
most any player he wants If put TO
the test. Last season he wanted Ping
Bodie, He offered Connie Mack cash,
but the tall one wanted a star player
in exchange. SO Higgins found out
what player Connie desired and got
him. That man was George Burns, of
the Tigers, Higgins bought him and
then snapped him for Ping.
At least two Of the Yankee outfield-
ers will not he with the team this
season. it is well known now. Armando
Marsans has gone back 10 Cuba. Hugh
High was suspended last season when

HALAS SETS RECORD.

Retiring from major league baseball
before playing even one game in the
top set is a distinct novelty, but II a
story from Chicago is true, that APP
plies to George Halas, the collegian
o%utfielder, now under contract to the
Yankee. Halas will go south with the
Yankees next month and hopes to win
a regular place on the club, But ac-
cording to adviCes from the Great Lakes
naval training station, where Halas now
IS, he will retire permanently from the
game at the close of the 1919 seasoi.
1t may be that he can not stick in the
majors his first season and will be

to him. So he will still be the property
Of a big league,
Halas and Paddy Driscoll, slated to
go south with the Cubs, played on the
same football team with J. K. Mosser,
a seaman at Great Lakes and previously
a superintendent for a large packing

friends and Mosser has arranged with
his firm to employ Halas and Driscoll
as agents in South America. They plan
to leave this country about Nov. l to
take positions in a tannery and hide
plant owned by this packing concern
at Buenos Aires, and expect to locate
there permanently.

When right Eric is n of the best

a tendency to shirk pitching whenever

dency and that he will realize more

In the final period, Vandy was never
able to get going, and every break
went against the Gold and Black team

the basket and then fan out. They
missed many close shots that should
have been easy goals. The "Y" lads
PLAYED consistent ball throughout, and
while they were pressed hard, they
never showed any signs Of blowing
and accumulated the points necessary
to win without greatly eNerting them

up against they decided to rebel ant
to quit the league. The whole situa'
