Too Much Tobacco After
As Suicidal, Says Doctor

Immoderate use of tobacco after
forty five is suicidal, says DIR. Hirsch-
field, eminent medical author, and
other doctors agree with him. Excess
sive use of tobacco is bad for anyone,
any time, and how much you can
stand can only be told after it is too
late if you have used top much. Bet
ter to quit, and here Nicotol will help
you. Get few Nicotol tablets from
any druggist and let them drive the
craving from you. If you want to re-
sumo after seeing how much better
YOU feel without tobacco you can do
so any time Nicotol is sold under q
positive money back guarantee. 1t
costs you little to quit and nothing If
Nicotol fails.
Note: If you know you are smoking
too much let Nicotol help you reduce
the quantity and show you how easy
it is to quit altogether. Ask your drug
gist about the success of Nicotol. He
knows and can be trusted to tellJyou
the truth. (Adv).

WHAT THEY SAY
Eddie Rnush


Big stakes cause players in a
world series to be under a great
tension. But II isn't all due just
to the receipts, according to
Eddie Roush of the Reds. He
says:
True, each man is vitality inter
ested in helping his side win, for the
winners share is more substantial
than the losers. But there are other
reasons for the great tension under
which the players find themselves.
For one thing the player finds him
self occupying a position of tremen-
dous n%otoriety. Everybody is talk
ing about him, wondering what he
will do, predicting how he will COM
pare with his corresponding oppon-
ent on the rival club. All of the
adds to the players sense of re-
sponsibility. He naturally wants to
do we'll for the sake of those who
predicted that he would do well.
And just, as naturally, he wants to
prove that the critics, who didn't
rate him so highly. were mistaken.
So he finds himself keyed up to a
high pitch of excitement and feels
that he must play the best baseball
of his career. 1t is this effort to
rise to tie occasion when his nerves
have been unstrung by the burdens
of his position, which often makes
a player fall down in a world series.
Not infrequentiy if you try to do
something extraordinary you will do
something that isn't even ordinary.
The determination to play bang-up
baseball often results in playing ball
that is poor or even bad"

The Bird of Paradise is n of the

Richard Walton Tully, its author,
who will present the celebrated
Hawaiian love-drama at the Majestic
Friday evening, October 22, ordered
an entirely new scenic and wardrobe
equipment. Nearly every theatre
goer Is familiar with the big. human
story Luana, the little Hawaiian prin-
cess who marries Paul Wilson. the
young American doctor, and of her
tragic end. No love-story in all
literature Is more appealing or more
abiding while the wonderful charm
of the Hawaiian Islands with their
laughing maidens, cool mountain
pools for bathing. vivid flowers and
thrilling dances all unite to create
an absolutely unique and unforget-
able atmosphere. The part of Luana
this year will be played by Ann

Newark Turner's Will Play
Auditorium Fine This Week

Bill Manning. manager of the
Auditorium basketball team has
been successful in booking the
strong Newark Turner's to appear
here on Saturday night to play the
third big basketball game in this city
this season. The Newark Turner's
defeated Manning's outfit minus two
of their stars at Newark last Sunday
night in an interesting game. but
the local representatives are conf
dent of turning the tables in this
game. The Auditorium five defeat
ed the Newark Favorites and the
Brooklyn Triangles already this
season.
On account OF the appearance of
stretch" Meehan, the six foot, eight
inch terror and tallest man playing
basketball in the lineup of the New
arkers for this game, II Is likely that
the local manager will have to shift
his lineup. Meehan, a bit awkward
when he started playing basketball,
Is now capable of using his height
to good advantage.
frankie Boyle, one of the fastest
men in the game, will appear in an
advanced position for the Turner's In
this contest, and 1t will be necessary
for Manager Manning to use good
judgment in placing a strong de.
fensive player against this man. Role
will be Boyle's side-kick at for
ward.

a great deal of class on the local court

Big Comedy Coming.

The stage of the Majestic Theatre
Is shortly to be adorned with a
'laugh compelling" comedy. This.
everyone will agree, is a distinct
novelty in the amusement world.
There have been screaming coined
les" comedies that were hailed as
.aaugh riots" comedies that were an
nounced as 'uproarous comedies"
and numerous other brands, but the
comedy that gives you no alternative
and simply "compels" you to laugh
Is that most highly priced of all
brand of amusement-a novelty.
1t is said that after seeing 1.-THE
Hottentot" a man will forgive his
wife for not having dinner served
on time. a wife will forgive her hus-
band for forgetting her birthday an
n~iversary, a bachelor will forget that
there ever was such a thing as the
eighteenth amendment and nobody
will remember that there is such a
thing as the high cost of living.
This bright gem of the stage is
the latest vehicle of Americas fore
most and best liked comedian, Will
liam Collier. He is not only starring
in 'The Hottentot," to the delight of
everyone who is fortunate enough to
witness the play. but he collaborated
in Its writing with Victor Mapes.
New York playgoers thought so well
Of THE Hottentot" that they kept
it on Broadway at the Conan Theatre
all of last season and SO late into
the summer that most of the other
attractions in town had been forced
to CLOSE because of the heat. In fact,
only Mr.. Golfers out-of-town con-
tracts. which could not be cancelled,
prevented 1.-THE Hottentot" from re-
naming i'm New York indefinitely.

PAGER BIG FIVE MAY SOON

The PAGER Big Five basketball
team, the combination piloted by Ray
Handerhan last season with q great
deal of success. is expected to be or
ganized very shortly. Last season
the team known as the big Five"
was made up of five players small in
stature but big in playing ability.

of organization is made the team
his year will be practically the same
as last with the possible addition of
one player.
Last season the PAGERS were handi-
capped in playing Ray Handerhan, a

this year. while the remainder of the
team will be picked from Ray and

SPORTING CHANCE"
USING PARACHUTE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14:-The
mechanism for parachute jumping
from airplanes. described in a state
ment of the Army Air Service, dis
closes the hazards of the jumper
and wherein his feat has a sport
ing chance" of ending in death.
THE parachute used by aviators,"
says the Services statement, lis
folded snugly inside a pack carried
on the back. The operator steps off
the plane, allows himself a couple
chine. then pulls a wire depending
over his shoulder. This wire opens
the spring doors of the pack and
releases a small pilot chute some
couple of feet in diameter. This
pilot spring opens automatically and
catching the rush of air, draws the
main chute from the pack.
I'm the top of the main chute is
an automatic vent which, opening
to a width Of five feet when the big
parasol first unfolds, gives the air
compressed within a chance to es-
cape and lessons the danger of
blowing the chute apart. When the
fall has been checked, rubber
springs or shock-absorbers in the
vent close it in until but a small
hole remains.
AT the atmospheric pressure
wherein most parachute drops from
ordinary attitudes are made the
speed attained by the operator in
his couple of seconds fall Is suffi-
Gent to create enough pressure I'M
der the pilot chute to cause 1t when
released to yank the big one at once
from its pack. Usually the operator
is descending at normal speed after
falling less than 200 feet. However,
at high attitudes the atmosphere
has not sufficient effect on the pilot
chute until the operator has fallen
q great distance and attained a ter
rife speed. The shock when the
parachute does open is accordingly
severe and there is quite a sporting
chance of the silk flying into rib
bons."
