MtMANUS
GLADIAT0RS OF CIVIC
CLUBS FIGHT MONDAY

Ghosts of the past will BE seen
stalking in all their grandeur and mag
nificence when the Kiwanis and Young
Mems Business clubs send their pow
erful basketball gladiators into the
arena at the Coliseum next Monday
night to decide, by nimbleness of foot
and trueness of eye, the basketball
championship of all the world--and
part of Richmond.
Aside from the headline attraction
of the evening, which is announced
as the basketball contest, a galaxy
of entertainers will display their arts
in variegated manner, insuring the on
lockers an "eye full" from the time
of the opening act to the final whistle
of the game.
The world will undoubtedly be in
debted to the two clubs for their
great additions to the art of entertain
ment at basketball contest, and the
performance to be given by the popu-
lar clubs of the city will bring out the
wonderful dramatic possibilities of the
game, which have remained dormant
since its invention.
Secret practices are being held by
the teams and the lineup or outfits
Will not be known until they appear
on the floor. 1t is rumored, however,
that the Young Mems team will de-
pend upon weight altogether, with Joe
Hill and Howard Horton at forwards,
Pete Lichtenfels at center, Howard
Hitz, floor guard, and Charles Twigg,
back guard.
The Kiwanis club mentor is trying
out Oren Miller and Guild Copeland
tor forwards, Prof. Sam Carton. cen.
ter, Harry Coleman, floor guard, and
Ray Move, back guard. With these
lineups from the two clubs it appears
to be ripping contest. However,
charges of professionalism are liable
to develop before the game and put a
few out of the running.
All the proceeds go for Christmas
baskets for the poor of the city.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
DUBIOUS ABOUT ENTRY
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE American
Association is willing to enter into
the new national baseball agreement
with Judge X. NJ. Lands, as supreme
commissioner, but does not feel as
though it should go in for the provided
25 year period, according to President
Tom Hickey on his return here from
New York.
Judge Lands term is for seven
years." he said. I'VE would have no
say about the new commissioner at
the termination of Judge Landis' term.
This is what the American association
is debating about
Hickey declares that he believes the
movement of the class AA leagues to
withdraw from the present National
association for the purpose of forming
separate and distinct body to affil-
late with both the major and smaller
minors would result in the ironing out
of lot of wrinkles.
"Such an arrangement would result
in benefit 10 all parties concerned and
would tend to solve the problem of
the draft" he said.

Consumers Union, Comprised of Women. to Battle Against
High Cost Of Living

The Consumers union, ~35,O00,000 members strong. will soon be in
action, according to a Washington correspondent.
1t will call nationwide strikes One of the first will be against
styles. Every one of the 35,000O00 women belonging to the union will
pledge herself to wear last years hats and last years gowns.
"Of course they will do it," said Miss Edith S. Strauss, appointed by
Attorney General Palmer as a marshal Of the army Of women to be mobi-
lized by the government in a gigantic offensive against the high cost of
living. every woman is willing to wear last years hat if she knows
every other woman is doing it. I've already gone on a strike against high
prices. have taken a VOW to buy no more clothes until those am wear
ing can be no longer clothes.
Everyone is organizing in America except the poor consumer. Until
the consumers unite and stand soldly behind the government in an inten-
sive campaign against high prices we might as well sit with folded arms
and watch the profteer flourish.
"The women must carry on about nine-tenths OF this warfare against
high prices and with 35,OOOO0O of them organized and working as a
living back to normal levels.
"In every city and village there must be a league Of consumers who
pledge themselves to do without rather than pay excessive prices. When
milk is raised to a price beyond reason, like against the people of New
York, they will call a milk strike and or certain days of the week do
without milk until the law of supply and demand forces a cut in the price.
zone of the reasons for excessive prices is that the American public
is drunk with money; people have more money than ever before and they
are spending it ~reckesly.
cone of the first things we must do is to cut out senseless Injuries,
another is to increase production"
Miss Strauss is a pretty, energetic, wholly confident young woman.

"Do you know that there are 10000 men and women earning their
living by travelling through the country telling people how unhappy they
should be and how they should go out from under and overthrow existing
conditions" she concluded.

PIGS CAUSED
WORLD WAR
Quarrel Between Austria and Serbia
Traced to Difficulty Over Swine

Pigs-just pigs-brought on the
war. according to a statement accred-
tied to Count Carl Seilern, formerly
confidential adviser to the erstwhile
Emperor Charles at Vienna. Frederick
III. Mead of Troy, n. Y, a member Of
the Red Cross convoy taking food sup
plies to Budapest, reports the count
as saying:
Fifteen years before the war Ser
via was shipping great numbers Of
pigs into Hungary, successfully com
peting with the Hungarian farmers.
The Hungarians protested but the Dor
der was left open. Finally the Austro-
Hungarian government on the preteXt
that all Servian pigs were diseased
placed an embargo on them.
up to that time the two govern
mentS had more or less Of a friendly
understanding. Political leaders in
Servia seized upon the pig incident.
Austro-Hungarian diplomats took up
the question. MISUNDERSTANDING arose

litical propaganda, other questions
were built out Of it and thus the world
war was brought n

Production Costs Increased in Europe.
The cost of production in European
countries will be increased over the
pre-War period because of the change
in labor conditions. In the matter OF
machinery and efficient methods Of
production, America may be counted
upon to keep well apace. The cost Of
production and labor, and the in
creased shipping and banking facil-
tiles, as compared with pre-war COM
petition conditions, greatly favor the
American trader. The uncertain fac
tor in the immediate future OF our for
eign trade is the VnsOlved problem Of
foreign credit.

equivalent Of $2.74 in British money,
1888 in French money. $4.4S in Ital-
ian money, and $13.47 in German
money. If the depreciation of Euro
pean moneys continues, or the rate of
exchange becomes more abnormal, it
will probably restrict imports not only
of bread cereals. but also Of other
commodities. to the bare necessities,
and will constitute a powerful slim
ulus in foreign countries to increase
production.

American Musicians Are
Returning to Old Haunts
After World War Strain

From the music of cannon and the
rhythm of marching feet, back TO the
quiet harmony of studio and concert
hall.
Hundreds Of musicians in America
threw down their bow and their baton

tional musician engaged in the brutal,
uncomfortable business of fighting,
To those who knew the patriotic fer
vor and adaptability Of these inspired
music makers. there was more n a
a little anxiety for the peace future
OF warrior musicians. How would the
delicate mechanism Of their psychOl-
ogy be affected by an activity so pow
erful and so far from their normal
desires?
Some musicians like David Hoch-
stein, the young violinist who lost his
life in the Argonne, will lever return.
But unasSuming numbers of them
have taken their places again in the
ranks OF players. One may hear them
in the theuter orchestra. They are
playing in the cabaret jazz band, coz
tent TO return TO the humdrum of the
life which was SO enthralling TO them
before the war. 1t may be a bit stale
to them now. But the reaction will
sooa set in, has already come to many
who have lost the first restless crav-
ing for excitement that they felt on
their return from the front.
Percy Granger, Australian pianist.
has returned to his old job of compoS-
ing and concertislng. Irving Berlin,
king of popular music, has stopped in
spring the soldier and has set his
brilliant talents TO inspiring the sol
der i'm civilian life. Albert Spalding,
one of the greatest of Americas violin
lists, is on his way home from the
front. His old job Of tiddling and
making the world safe for culture is
waiting for him, and he will TAX 1t
gladly. Pianists, tenors, trombonists
are ail slipping back into the OLD
paths-and are glad 10 be there.
