TT AVE you visited the store of

removal to 1915 Chestnut
street? The new location seems
most desirable in every respect, for.
while it is outside the crowded shop
ping district, it is just near enough
to 1t to be convenient if YOU arc
lunching in town. The new store is
very attractive, and, when I visited
it the other day, I saw several lovely
Oriental rugs which, in the right
setting, would enhance greatly the
beauty of a room, and, you know,
the success of a decorative scheme
depends very often on the choice of
a rug. That is the most significant
reason for buying your rugs at a
store which handles only floor cover
ings. Such shop is prepared to
offer you invaluable service in the

Says Atty. Gen.

ALBANY. N. Y, May 29.--Attorney
General Charles D. Newton ruled yes
terday that boxing and sparring oxhibl-
tions may be held In State Armorles,
AdJutant General Charles w. Berry
had asked for an opinion in the be-
lief that the new walker Boxing Law
and the Military Law confllcted. The
Attorney General holds that officers
in charge OF armories may lease them
with the approval OF the Division
Brigade Commanders, TO licensed cor
poratlons for boxing exhibitions for
a portion Of a day or night in each
week or month during a rental period
OF year. II the State Is indemniied
against loss and the corporation
agrees to terminate the lease whenever
public emergency requires,
Mr.. Newton said that there was
nothing in the Military Law to prevent
the use OF armorles for other than
military purposes, Tho Attorney
General held that II was manifest
that the Legislature under the Walk
er law intended to authorize the use
OF armorles for boxing, when 1t did
not conflict with tho duties OF the
military organization.

Million-Player Prediction This
Season Despite the High
Cost of Golfing.
BIZ William Abbott.

A N investigator in Washington,
n seeking the cause of the pre-
vailing high cost of every
thing, figured that people were simp-
ly charmed by high prices. Possibly
this solution can be applied TO the
present high cost of golf. Club ia
cilities, balls. clubs, everything used
in the old Scotch game, were never
so costly as now, and yet there were
never so many playing golf in the
United States.
The trend to higher levels first
made painful impressions on active
players when golf clubs throughout
the country began TO make up loss Of
revenue from the closing OF the we'll
paying nineteenth hole. Higher dues
and special assessments came along
with the national drought. Then the
price of golf materials took a leap
upwards, Good drivers that could
be had for 81 and S. n short time ago
are now touching IS. Iron CluDs
which formerly fetched $3.50 are now
over IS. 1t was hoped that golf balls,
which already had scared in price,
would not be more expensive this
season, but several lines have been
advanced in price.
While all paraphernalia of the links
is costing much, more, manufacturers
to day are away behind orders. From
ocean to ocean and border to border
the mashie madmen seem to be en-
gagged in a mass attack on Col. Bogey,
and orders for more equipment con-
tinue to pour in. Based on the de-
mand for supplies a prominent manu-

Penn and Tigers
To Fight 1t Out
For Track Title

PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-Penn-
sylvanla qualified fifteen men for the
semi-finals and finals OF the forty
fourth intercollegiate track and field
championship which began at Frank
lin Field under ideal weather con-
ditions. but before a comparatively
small gathering. As the result of their
fine showing, Pennsylvania's fol-
lowers are now positive that Lawson
Robertson's Red and Blue warriors
are going to win the coveted college
title.
But It will be a mighty close and
keenly contested struggle for the
championship, as Keene Fitzpatrick's
Princeton team ran Pennsylvania n
close second, and as a matter Of fact
led the local institution until the final
event. The Orange and Black team
qualified fourteen men, and last
night the well-known Tiger Of old
Nassau had his claws manicured and
his hair brushed for big doings to-
day.
Cornell, which was easily defeated
by Pennsylvania in a dual meet here
two weeks ago, made good show
ing, qualifying eleven men for the
various track and field events. Jack
Moakley, the veteran mentor of the
lads from the shores Of Lake CayuSa,
has not as yet given up hope of e.
tanning the title which his team has
won ever since 1914. Cornelrs sue
cess to-day depends upon the show
ing 1t makes in the quarter the half
mile and the two hurdle events.
