Although only ten years old,
Eleanor Watts. who lives with
her parents at fayetteville.
Md. proved that she was a
baseball fan yesterday.
She iourneyed to Maryland
State College at College Park.
Md, and was an interested
spectator at a ball game. In
cidentally. her mother and
neighbors were frantic about
her disappearance.
The authorities have not
learned the name of the child
or what injuries she suffered.
1t developed late last night that
Eeanor was safely ensconced

lives some distance from Col

Sleep till the saving was over

PUNCH DRIVERS PERMITS.

Dear Bill: You have had some
interesting editorials on traffic vio.
lations in Washington and l wish
to submit a suggestion: AS II is
now, a driver who is arrested for
speeding and recklessness, even
a number Of times. may claim that
II is his first offense because the
police have no successful way OF
checking up as between the various
precincts. Why not leave a space
on each drivers permit and when a
driver is arrested and IL compelled
to deposit collateral. have the Off.
Ger at the station punch a hole
in the card?
This would give a record OF OF.
lenses committed and every driver
would be careful to avoid these
dangerous marks against him.

PROVIDED YOU HAVE CLASS

" a man has class, according
to gent Who talked before the
California Pharmaceutical As
sOciGtion. he should have his otOn
shade OF face po1Uder, his otOn
brand of toilet tUdter and shauing
soap, and even his oWn choice of
nail polish. In other words, man
must seek to make himself Just
as beautiful to Women as tUomen
try to make themselves to men.
Understand, though, that you
must have, or claim, CLASS be-
fore you get this Way. Presum-
ably, II you understand all about
toilet articles and knOW tOhdt and
When to use them you haze the
class.
As men get more and more into
the tldpper Uorld it will be nee
essury for the manufacturers of
cosmetics and toilet articles TO
put out lines of specially pre-
pared cdke-edter face stuff. In
stead of the Mary Garden per-
fumes We shall haze the Babe
Ruth cauliflower and cabbage
perfume, the Bill Hart deodor-
ant, the Doug. Fairbanks rouge,
the Warren Harding facial
cream, the Clark Griffith hennd
shampoo, the Cy Cummings face
lotion, and the Chick Exams
shaving lotion.

What's worrying US IS the

ROCK-A-BYE BOOTLEG
MAKES QUALITY LOWER

The demand for California plums

put upon the market. according TO

Because OF a desire to reach the

prices paid for the first few cars Of
plums shipped, the department
stated. there has been tendency
among shippers in recent years 10
pick the fruit in greener condition
with each succeeding season.
An investigation of the soundness
Of this policy just completed by the
department disclosed that the
tendency toward early picking re
suits in placing an inferior grade Of
