Of the joys a serious proposition. How
about the freaks? If there was ever
an inoffensive, home-loving, boss
fearing set of people, it is those
curios folks who sit on the blue
painted platforms to be grazed and
wondered at and to be lectured about
as fast as the dimes are passed in
at the door.

hand of control to fall upon this in

his or her voice in protest. Some
years ago when the greatest show on
earth went overseas. meeting was
held in london by all these people in
which they objected TO be called
freaks" London took it seriously
and the press agent who fostered the
meeting set the world laughing by
having the armless wonder elected
secretary and gave to the world the
only minutes of a deliberative body
ever written in bold spencerian by
a pen held between the big toe and
its neighbor.

every evening Jack knight climbs

His work is preparatory to the
establishment of continuous trans

pilots how to fly instead Of himself

But when the war was over

chances of cutting loose from young
players who have real promise, but
who didn't get much Of a chance to
show their worth in the ordinary
routine of spring training.
Seven teams are training in Flor
ida this year. Griffith would like to
see eight clubs do spring training in
this state, and thinks it would add
zest to the program if four were
from the American and four from the
National.
An east coast rivalry could be add
ed if Palm Beach and Miami were
represented. These two towns have
lately expressed the desire to enter
tain a major league club next year.
Griffith feels that such league
would interest the thousands of north
ern tourists in Florida during Febru-
airy and March. Incidentally, he feels
it would work as a campaign Of edu-
cation, that would stimulate interest
in baseball and greatly help the Flor
ida State League.
1t has been taken up with Presi-
dent Lang of the Florida State
League, who seems certain that his
club owners will fall in with the
idea.

Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington team of the American
League, has unique baseball idea
that he is bringing to the attention
of the major league clubs training in
Florida.
Griffith is for a spring league in
Florida, starting February 1 and ex-
tending over a period of about seven
weeks.
Most of the major league clubs 20
South late in February. Griffith's
idea is to have all the major league
recruits that are to be tried out to
report on February 1.
For period of four weeks these
recruits would play a series of reg
ular scheduled games, after they had
properly conditioned themselves.
The regulars would report about
March 1 and spend about two weeks
getting into shape. Then during the
last two weeks Of March, just prior
to the teams starting their exhibition
tour north, the veterans would be
worked into the various lineups, Civ
ing the fans of the South a chance to
see the stars as well as the recruits.

YOUR BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE BUSINESS WOMAN.

light -heartedness at all times her
mind is agile and alert-open to
new ideas And so she naturally
becomes more and more capable
and keeps young and interested.
The world needs and rewards
such persons.
Once out of her place of bust
ness, she drops business from
her thoughts. The remainder Of
her time she owes to rest, recrea-
ton, friends, family and to the
fascinating hobbies and avoca-
tons that prevent her from be-
coming bored and mentally one
sided.
Because her work is indoor
work, she keeps out.of-doors every
moment she can except during
business hours She never rides
when 1t is possible to walk.
When she must ride. she chooses
an open car or bus-top.
OF course she has a good time
with her friends and at theater,
dancing, party or opera--which-
ever appeals to her-one or two
evenings week. But she makes
UP for these late hours by going
to bed extra early other eve
nings, SO that invariably She aver.
ages eight or nine hours nightly.
Tor she knows that sleep brings
refreshment that is the first aid
to beauty. :"
Careful attention to the de.
tails of her toilette and a hot
bath each night insure deep, re.
freshing sleep. She is astir early
in the morning to make sure Of
ten or twenty minutes spent in
vigorous exercises before her open
window, followed by a quick tepid
hath. These exercises are a 10y
for they timber all her muscles
and start her blood into the
vigorous circulation that is essen.
tial to beauty.
Here Is an exercise which the
business woman may be glad to
add to her list:
Stand erect, your feet firmly
planted. on the ground and well
apart, your arms at your sides.
