Properly used, the telescope is a wonder
fully effective instrument. But look through
the wrong end and your vision becomes distorted;
things get out of focus; objects well within your
reach look miles away.
An important province Of this paper is to
act your telescope. Use it properly and your
vision is enlarged. That means reading the
advertisements as well as the other news. Fail
to read the advertising and you overlook a great
deal that you ought to see and know-the best IN
alues-opportunties for economy, increased
comfort, convenience and happiness.
Advertising brings close to your hand the
things you want. Tells you where to buy them
what they cost. You CLEAN much valuable
information about merchants, their stores, their
goods their services-al important points to you
as possible purchaser.
You may read every line of the news col
umns-but if you overlook the advertising you
remain uninformed about the very things that

First Airplane
Carrier Goes In
Service Monday

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1s.-The for
mer naval collier Jupiter, first turbo-
electric propulsion vessel to be built,
will be commissioned Monday at
the Norfolk naval base as the naval
airplane carrier Langley. The ship
has been undergoing the process Of
conversion for more than a year and
has been fitted with a top deck on
which planes can land as well asswith
devices for starting them into the air
while the ship is in motion.
The Langley, first airplane carrier
to be added to the navy, is rated as
a second line vessel, as she has a
speed OF approximately IL knots and
displaces less than 10000 tons. Navy
officials are now urging congress TO
permit the conversion of two battle
cruisers, construction on which has
been suspended because of the naval
limitation treaty, into first line car
riers with a displacement of $4,000
tons and speed of little less than
So knots. The Langley will be used
in her new capacity as an airplane
carrier and as tender for the air
fleets OF the navy.

in charge, sailed from Bremen up the
coast of Holland into the North Sea.

Senator Ball OF Delaware, a mem

desirability OF that agreement. but
asserted that the utmost efficiency

said, "fully manned with properly

to their navies proper aid, that they

To Pick Soccerites
for Game With Butte

All the soccer players and fans of
the city are called together again for
a meteing to hold forth Monday night
in 219 Ford building. This is Justice
Shields court chamber.
The meeting is primarily to pick a
team to represent Great Falls against
the Butte team which it is planned to
bring here for an inter city combat on
Labor day. 1t is understood that the
finances for this meet are already ar
ranged and there remains only to pick
a strong aggregation from the 80 odd
soccer players of the city.
Great Falls should be represented
by a fast outfit in this sport. 1t so
happens that there is a wealth of ma
terial. men who have played on the
best teams both of Canada and the old
country. and reasonable practice should
turn forth n team which could give
the best of them a bad rub.
The Labor day game will probably
be played in Earring park. Although
there was formerly a city league run
ming at full tilt in Great Falls. it is
now three years since a game has been
played. "A group of Great Falls play
ers ~Journeyed to Butte and played
against a picked Butte aggregation,
holding these men who had been play
ing all season to a low score, and are
convinced that practice is the only
thing needed to turn the tables.

New York, Aug. 12.-When the
major leagues shifted and the Ameri-
can eastern teams went west Miller
Higgins, manager of the Yanks, said
in the course of a talk about his team:
If we can win more than 80 per
cent of the games on this trip 1
think we will win the pennant again.
This trip will make or break
Ruth. 1t will take him away from
New York where he has been stung
by the criticism of spectators and
some others. He is not accustomed
to it and he cannot understand it.
toward sport and sharp comment
rubs harshly or his sensibilities. If
Ruth plays at his best, this club can
| win it's second p%ennant. That it can
win without Ruth going at his best is
a question. Were l to answer that
question, l would say no."
Having said this, Hug insisted that
not a word be mentioned about it
until after the trip. He felt chary
about starting into the country Of the
enemy with any comment or predic-
tons floating loose in the baseball
atmosphere.
Yanks Broke Better Than Even
The trip is over and the Yanks
broke better than even. Ruth played
better ball than he had been playing
prior to the time that the team
started west and for these reasons
the conversation with Higgins comes
to be very good baseball history. 1t
will now be in order for the New York
baseball club to win the champion
ship to indicate the judgment of the
New York manager.
As a matter of fact the New York
club On its trip west played superior
baseball to the other clubs in the
American league. Very likely the
managers of rival clubs made their
estimate of what New York could do
on the basis of what New York did
in the earlier part of the season.
They did not expect to see the 1anks
win two-thirds of their games.
Gleason thought they would be lucky
if they broke even; Foil of st. Louis.
as usual, had nothing to say. Lee is
the afternoons on which the Browns
win. You know he thinks of this base
ball year as one of vindication for
himself. He still feels that he was
entitled to a better deal in Cleveland;
that he would have produced a win
ming team there if permitted to go his
own way.
The trip made by the Yanks is up
to the standard of their trips of last
year when they Won their first pen
nant. In some years such a trip
might have broken the spirit Of the
contender. ANY baseball team winning
approximately two games in three is
playing the kind of ball that discour-
ages the other fellows. However. |
there enters into this display of the
Yanks the fact that Detroit and st.
Louis have been playing nearly as
well, and for that reason the spirit of
the contending teams has not been
abated by the success of the cham
pions.
That Higgins estimated Ruth's |
value to his team better than any man
who has spoken of Ruth as a ball
proves itself by the noticeable
improvement in the playing of the
Yanks when Ruth began to strike the
pace which he set in 1921. Those
who shouted so vigorously that the

Two Hot Games Today
May Settle City Race

Today's doubleheader in the City
league at Earring park will do much to-
wards settling the futures of all the
teams playing. Fans will be particularly
interested in what happens to Eagles
and the Electrics.
Figuring possibilities, a defeat for
the Eagles and a win for the Electrics
today would make a whirlwind race
for the title as a season finisher. These
two things can happen. There are many
ifs. They can happen IF the Eagles
are no better than in their last game.
and IF the Elks start walloping the
Eagle pitchers, and IF Bolland can
hold the Electric batsmen in check.
and IF the West Siders can hit. These
aren't such impossible possibilities.
Anyway. fans are sure to be treated
to a couple of sure enough ball games
today, and Earring park bids fair to
hold its record crowd of the season
thus far. The attendance last Thurs
day was the biggest mid-week crowd
of the summer indicating that interest
in the league finish is on the increase.
New Factors In Play
The last week has brought nee fac
tors into play. For the first time this
season the Eagles. for so long way up
at the top of things. look reasonably
beatable. The Electrics made them look
foolish in Thursdays twilight affair.
Lacking Remenas in the box and
Laughlin as an outfield bolsterer. Bill
McKee's club doesn't look very heavy.
Neither Burg nor Macrae could stop
the Electric sluggers and the Elks
will undoubtedly try to do the same
thing this afternoon.
Manager Mckee announces that
Berg will be started against the
antlered folk. with Macrae in reserve
and the possibility of Ollinger taking
the mound.
This game will also probably see
