MEMORY is SHORT
Baseball Magnates Promised to
Help Build New SOx Team.
But COmiskey Is Forced to Bid
High for Players.

New York, Dec. S.-Somehow base
ball magnates will slip a mental cog
once in a while.
Their memory has refused to func-
ton in the case of Charles Con1iskey'
the Grand Old Roman" and the
martyr of clean baseball.
Going around the final bend Of the
1920 race, Comiskey broke up the
White Sox, considered the greatest
team in baseball. when he learned
they had fallen for the lure of easy
money.
He had left but the skeleton Of a
club, a mere shell of a once great or
ganization.
Then moguls, altruistic to the core,
condoled with the Old Roman. The
White Sox would rebuild from ma
terial furnished by the other more
fortunate owners, they said.
They rushed with proffered gifts to
the exponent of high ideals.
That was three months ago.
But Comiskey is still holding the
game fragments remnants of the
wreck. He has added a few more re-
cruits but he got them for cash in the
open market anu ne HdQ u OulDAA
his fellow magnates.
OF course, Comiskey refused gifts.
He has money and he insisted upon
using it to get new club together.
But money and all, he's having
hard task.
The other clubs with superfluous
material that would fill up holes in the
Sox team are holding tight and refus-
ing to sell.
Not only that, but they are rush
ing to the bushes and buying up all
the rookie prospects forcing Comiskey
to go high for one when he does find
a 1--we one.
Comiskey is not bowling. He's not
that kind He promised the Chicago
bugs that he would get them a team
and he probably will have one when
the 1921 season gets Under way.
The New York Yankees offered him
any part of their team to finish the
race Probably that vas as far as
they figured their beneficence should
e:-tend-just to help him to the end
of the season.
Recently the notion spread that
joey Dugan would be sold by Connie
Mack. and the SoX wanted him badly.
But the Yankees went wildly after
him. They offered Mack money and
five or six players but Mack wouldn't
take it. Perhaps Comiskey will get
him yet but he will have to come high
for him.
Three months is not a long while
but it seems plenty long to forget.

What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF CROSSING A
BRIDGE?

NEARLY all authorities agree that
y to dream of crossing bridge In.
| dicates success In business. II you
dream that the bridge is in bad condl.
ton and that you are warned not to
cross 1t, and yet do cross 1t, Is sign
that you will rapidly go onward to
success. If you have any difficulty
In getting across your dream bridge,
and yet do so, 1t means that you
will successfully overcome Obstacles
thrown in your path. Simply to see
bridge in dream means that you
will soon be called upon to exert your
self to get the better of some private
difficulty or business obstacle. But
don't fall Off your bridge of Dreams
wake up before you do that. How.
ever, IL you should fall Off, or be
pushed Off, or be forced to leave the
roadway to avoid being run over, II
you support yourself by clinging to
the structure 1t is still good sign,
for 1t means the overcoming Of diff
culties on the road to success. Only
one authority can be found who re-
CARDS 1t unlucky to dream of a bridge;
the almost unanimous verdict Is the
other way-except that you should
not fall entirely off the structure. In
that case, or If the bridge collapses
under you, beware of false friends.

: THE GIRL ON THE JOB /:
: How to Succeed-How to Get :
Ahead-How to Make Good /:
BY JESSIE ROBERTS :
RAINY TOMORROW

Il XPERTS are agreed that sooner
II or later there may be slump In
financial matters, and that money will
be much harder to get than 1t Is now.
Salaries may fall, there may again be
much unemployment-in short, after a
lot of fair weather rain may be looked
for.
Are you getting your umbrella and
overshoes, metaphorically speaking,
for the wet spell2
In other words, are you laying aside
some of the money you are getting to-
day for the time when you find 1t diff
cult to make as much?
No woman in business or employ
ment of any kind should spend her en-
tire income. Even with the best Of
luck there Is likely to be time when
money is badly needed, and when a
sum In the bank or properly invested
may be really a life saver.
A spell Of illness, an accident a
sudden responsibility-these things
are apt to come to any of us, to all Of
us. To meet them we need more than
the regular sum we make; we need a
reserve. And 1t Is fatal mistake to
spend your entire income in the full
days, simply because you take 1t for
granted that you will always go on
making as much as you are now, or
even more. You may do so, you may
make more for awhile. and again you
may not. And IL you have never de-
veloped the habit of saving part of
what you make you will be no more
secure when your income grows larger, |
because you will continue to spend |
II ALL
1t Is no use counting on 1t always
being FAIR AND WARMER for you.
Make sure that some day 1t will read.
RAIN TOMORROW, and that 1t will
be right Be prepared. And espe-
cially now, when the world Is in a
most upset condition, and when any
thing may happen, make your own
future as secure as you may by, lay
Ing something away each week, and
by buying sound securities when you
have enough laid by to do So

This Is the season for fudge max
Ing. Try adding a spoonful or two Of

make delicacy more easily digested

wholesome candy for children Is fudge

fakes and stir In as many as the mix
