BOTH NORTHERN AND FLORIDA
VARIETIES EXPECTED BY
END OF WEEK.
CALIFORNIA GROWN HEADS
TO BE HERE LITTLE LATER
As Supply Increases Price Will Go
Down--Swest Potatoes Now on Mar
Lower Than Formerly - Without
Sugar, Cranberries Drug on Market.

The housewife will welcome the ar
rival Of the head lettuce season which
Is promised for the end Of the week.
From then on thru the winter she will
be able to procure head lettuce for the
many delectable salads which are so
nice at this season Of the year, or for
the garnishment of other foods. The
supply which is to come Saturday Will
be very nice. 1t is shipped from Du-
luth and Florida, but that from the
north is really the nicer. The north
ern heads are a little larger and al
most as solid as a head of cabbage.
They are to be 20 and rs cents each.
Iceberg head lettuce from California
is the finest variety there is, but IL is
little early yet for 1t to be had.
When it arrives the housewife can
easily tell the variety, for the heads
are more solid, the leaves more crisp
and the taste sweeter than any other
kind. The bitter taste SO often found
In some varieties never Is present in
the Iceberg.
The first supply to arrive probably
will not be very large, but as the sea-
son comes on the supply will soon be-
come normal. The increasing supply
will then lower the price.
.. Sweet Potatoes Now Best.
Sweet potatoes now on the market
are the incest Of the season and cheap
er than they have been at any time.
The Jersey sweet potato is the sweet
est and driest, but Is very hard to get,
so the Virginia, which is almost the
same quality, Is proving quite as pop
ular seller. They are very plentiful
on the market and are selling at rs
cents for four to six pounds.
Cranherries are a drug on the mar
ket, not because of cheapness, but be-
cause Of large supply and the short
age Of sugar to use with them. Just
now the city practically is without
sugar. ..

scented to a large audience Thursday
night at the Odeon, by Joe Hurtig's
Girls Of the U. 8. A." The offering was
the biggest and best burlesque perform
ance seen locally in several years.
Lavishly staged, handsomely costumed
and presented with a large company OF
capable burlesquers the attraction was
In many respects more worthy than
many musical comedy productions
which command 81 seat.
The featured comedian, Lew Hilton,
Is one Of the cleverest in burlesque
ranks and his work Is more meritorious
in that he refrains from low burlesque
quips to win laughs. He was capably
supported by Maurice Samuels, John
Bohlman. William P. Murphy, Teresa
Adams, Tenny Hilson and Babe La
vetta.
The two acts were divided into sew

considerable merit, was made up Of

ORDER TIME OUT
ON FORWARD PASS
PLAYS IN BIG TEN

Following the meeting of big
Ten" football coaches in Chicago
TO select officials for the fall games.
the mentors decided to instruct field
judges, VINO keep time in all games
where there are four officials, to
take out time for penalties follow
ing incompleted forward passes.
There is nothing in the rules to
show that time shall be taken out
during the enforcement of these
penalties and the officials who han
die the watch seldom take out time.
The coaches maintain that in close
games, where the forward pass is
employed literally, too much time
is consumed for the enforcement of
the penalty. AS the ball is not
actually in play during this enforce
ment, time should be taken out.
Coach Zuppke Of Illinois favors
change in the rules to do away with
games being won on recovered
fumbles. The Illinois mentor
claims that too many "loafers"
break" into the limelight by SCOOP
ing up fumbles and converting them
into. touchdowns Zuppke is in ia

RULES FRAMED
ON PARIS MEET
Discharged Men To Be Eligible To
Compete In Worlds Ath-
letie Carnival.

New York, March 25.-Any Of
fcer or enlisted man who served
in the allied military forces be-
tween Aug. 4. 1914, and Nov. II,
1918, is eligible to compete in the
Inter-Allied games to be held in
Paris next June, according to
cable advices from General PERISH
ing to the Amateur Athletic Union.
The message emphasized the
fact that eligibility applied equal
~ to men now in service and those
discharged.
General Pershing thanked the
union for its offer of cooperation
in the tournament, and asked it's
assistance in disseminating infor-
nation regarding the event to po-
tentiaI participants
Secretary Ruben stated that the
union would begin preparations
Immediately to cooperate with the
military officials in developing of
the American ends of the contests
Efforts will be made to secure a
comprehensive idea of the pro-
gram of events and with this as a
basis every athletic club and train
ing camp will be requested to. fur
nish the names of such eligible
athletes as may warrant special
instruction and training. A num-
Der of prominent club and college
stars and record holders have al
ready signified their willingness to
compete for the coIors.
While the A. A. U. has no funds
available to transport a team of
athletes to France, it is believed
there will be no difficulty in secur-
ing By popular subscriptions or
other methods a sum sufficient to
fArepare the best of available ma
tearial, especially if the men could
b taken to France on a transport.
There are a number of high
class performers still with the
American forces abroad and these,
augmented by those who might be
selected from the eligibles now in
this country, would undoubtedly
form a team which could hold its
own against the leading European
combinations.

face became drawn and haggard and
my disposition seemed to urge people

to despise my own company.

PRICE SPORTING

Increase In Cost of Practically

Cent Noted.

Prices of practically every class
of sporting goods are from 10 to
so per cent higher than in 1918 &C
cording to schedule just issued by
one Of the largest manufacturers.
The chief reasons advanced are the
10 per cent war tax on sporting
goods, which recently. became effec-
tive. and the high cost Of material
and labor.
Manufacturers declare that it was
their intention to reduce prices on
a number of articles but that the
war tax made this impracticable.
Since 1915 prices have increas ed
more than 100 per cent on a ma
jority of articles.
