Regarding the shift from Jacinto
to Jack. When Calvo first Joined the
Washington club at Charlottesville
he came as Jacinto Calvo, Of Spanish
ancestry and upbringing. Now he
comes as Jack Calvo, a slugging out
fielder, who thinks himself good
enough for the best there is in base
bail. And inasmuch as baseball de-
pends not on Spanish blood or up
bringing, but on what one does right
here, Calvo's chance is for the better.
The railroad situation is bothering
the Griffs not a little, as they must
play in Philadelphia next Monday.
When Prexy Griffith conferred with
the railroad men here he discovered
that there would be no sleepers out
OF here Saturday night for Philadel-
phia. He decided, accordingly. to send
most Of the gang to the Quaker City
Sunday morning at 0 o'clock. Just
when they will arrive remains yet to
be decided.
On Sunday an exhibition game Is
to be played at New Haven, where
Courtney performed so nobly last sea-
son before hitting the big show, but
there will be trouble galore when the
athletes make their getaway. They
must leave at $3.50 o'clock and no
reservations can be obtained. II they
don't get seats they will just have to
stand up, that's all. Travelling around
the big league in these times is more
than one grand sweet song. It's fast
becoming an experience.

Bryant Washburn at l,lp

Bryant Washburn plays a two days engagement at the Hip starting today, his latest Paramount comedy. The Sins of Saint Anthony"
 Here's a comedy that will make the worst case of grouch hunt a side street, and 1t reveals in terms of a mirth provoking, rollicking farce the troubles of one Anthony Osgood a scientist whose habits are so plebeian that his fiance has continually postponed the date for their wedding. Finally said ffance gets into correspondence with an overseas hero through the Red Cross and Anthony is politely told that he lacks pep" Amazed at the turn of affairs, he forthwith starts on a career to anass a goodly portion of said pep" and tells his troubles to a musical com edy star. The star proceeds to make him over, having him discard his old fashioned clothes, get hair cut, throw away his horn trimmed glasses, and otherwise assume an air of non- chalance that precedes ''pep.' This all causes consternation in the camp of friend fiance and she wakes up to the realization that Anthony is a regular fellow after all. But the musical com edy star awakens to the same fact, and poor old Saint" Anthony is called upon to make the choice for a life contract. Here's where the fun ruins riot, and Bryant Washburn scores one of the bigget hits of his career. A
 Christie comedy is added for gooc
 measure.

INVESTING FOR TIE WIFE

A Wall street man some two or three years ago advised his wife to put her pin money savings into a hundred shares of stock of a company that was then paying $7 a year dividends, and selling around $96 share. She did. Now that stock is selling around s4 share and the dividend, needless to say, is missing. But every three months the lady gets SITS from her husband and still believes that her investment is absolutely all right. And friend hus- band is hoping that she will never take 1t into her head to look over the mark ct column of the paper.
 A different care was that of tho head of a large company the stock of which once sold close to $20e a share and now sells at about one-tenth that amount.
 He had an unpleasant shock recently when his better half informed him cas- uallv that she had bought 200 shares at around s9O without his knowledge From the Wall Street Journal

SILK srocKiNeEp SCHOOL DAYS

SILK SToCKINGED SCHOOL DAYS
 The appearance of silk hose and among high school stud ents was condemned while the social hour and dancing in the schools was commended at meeting of the moth CTS congress and parent-teacher asso- citation in Denver recently.
 According to the parents, the num- Der of young girls in the high schools wearing silk stockings is increasing and a discussion lasting more than an hour ensued as to who was to blame for the situation. It was finally decided that the fault was with the parents, and mothers were urged to take firm stand in depriving their daughters oi these gossamer luxuries.
 Educating the parents to the dangers of permitting their children to drive to and from school in automobiles will be the means of combating this problem according to plans discussed. After school ioyrides fin which careless driv- ing plays a conspicuous part will be- come a think of the past if this edu- cational plan materializes, according tC
