MANDY WILL BE IN BAD SHAPE TODAY
Tulane Arrives Friday For Game With Com
 modOreS

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Oct. 26.-Mem- bers of the Tulane football sqlad ar rived here at noon today for their game tomorrow with a makeshift Vanderbilt team. Immediately after arriving the Louisiana Greenies worked out in the Commodore sta dium and tonight announced ready for tomorrow's conflict.
 Vanderbilt, despite the fact that it's flag has steadily dropped since the beating 1t received from the Texas Longhorns last Saturday, is q favor ite to win by two touchdowns or more. That, in the face of injuries snd illness which have removed from the lineup three of the Com modores' most dependable perform ers--Captain Kuhn, quarterback; Reece, halfback, and Lawrence, a guard.
 Kuhn remained in bed throughout the week until today with a severe cold. 1t is highly improbable that he will enter the game. Reece, most valuable offensive asset of the team, has been entirely out of harness since an injury to his leg in the Texas game, and may not be used until the Tennessee game. Lawrence is slowly recuperating from Texas injuries. As a result, Hek Wakefield will be shifted from end to quarter; $. T. Porter will appear at end; Sammie Neil will fill Lawrence's place at guard. and Red Roundtree, last year halfback, will be trotted out from his medical stages in order to replace Reece at half.

DESERT BASSES-ALPES
French District That Can't Be Farmed q
 Being DepOpulated

Among the minor problems which are troubling the French just now is the steady depopulation of one of their most picturesque but least fer tile departments, that of the Basses- Apes.
 France. in common with most mod . ern civilized nations. has had to la ment the gradual shrinking Cf rural populations, owing to the attractions of the great towns; and the steep fall of her birthrate is, of course, a subject of grave national concern. But the alarming situation in the Basses-Alpes is not brought about by these general causes. The fact is that this district of precipitous noun tains. valleys trayersed by flaming rivers, and queer old towns, is being deserted by it's inhabitants because life has no rewards there which make it worth living to people who are not prepared to put up with the frugal fare and unbroken monotony of ex- istence which satisfied their ances- tors.
 Hence the people of the Basses- Apes are rapidly migrating into other parts of France, and it is said that quite number Cf the farm workers have made their homes in French Africa. In the whole department of the Basses-Alpes there are now only 96,00O people, or about 10 a square mile. Towns which were once con- siderable are now mere villages.-- Manchester Guardian.

FRANK CHANCE TO
 PILOT WHITE SOX
Former Red Sox Manager Will Succeed "Kid" Glea-
 son At Chicago

CHICAGO. Oct. 26.-(By Associated Press )-Frank Chance, manager or the Boston Red Sox last season, to- night was selected to succeed "hid Gleason as manager of the Chicago White SoX.
 Chance made his name and fortune in baseball when he managed the ia nous Cub machine--a machine that won four pennants and two world championships in five seasons.
 Chance, famous as the Peerless Leader" of the old Cub machine, came to terms with Harry Grabiner, ousl- ness manager of the White SoX, after a long distance telephone conference. Chance at his home in Los Angeles accepted the conditions or the con tract, which will run for one year The contract will be formally signed when the club owners of the Amerl- can league convene here in December for the annual meeting.
 The White Sox pilot, member of that famous ombination-Tinker to Evers to Chance-came to the Cubs in the spring of 1898 after playing ball at Washington college, Califor- mia. and at Sullivan, III. For five years he layed in the outfield and behind the bat and in 1903 went to first base, where he remained until the end of his playing days.
 Kid Gleason resigned as manager of the White Sox after winning the city series from the Cubs this year, because, he said, he was discouraged with his attempt to rebuild the team wrecked as a result of the world series scandal of 1919. Gleason was manager of the White SoX for six years and was identified with the club as assistant manager and coach under the leadership of Clarence Rowland.

"Weaker" Sex Persuade Board T. Consent To Repair Of Road

committee of women appeared before the board of revenue Friday and did what committee of men failed to do a week or two ago. They described the condition of the road connecting the Montgomery highway and the Montevallo road and pictured the difficulties of travelling over it so effectively, that the board authorized the county en- gineer to have it repaired.
 This was formerly a public road before state highways were built, and it has been neglected so Ions that it is almost impossible, the committee said.

THE WAY TO SUCCESS

The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him. Allow me to assure you that suspicion and jeal- ousy never did help any man in any situation. There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep young man down; and they will succeed, too, if he allows his mind to be di verted from it's true channel to broci over the attempted injury.-Abraham Lincoln.

FORD AUTO PARADE
SUCCESS FOR DORSEY

An immediate increase in business
and a parade without a mishap, are
the results of the first day of the
second annual Ford commercial car
show being held at the Dorsey Mo-
tors, Inc; on Maple street, from
June 2, to Saturday, June 8, during
which time more than thirty differ
emit types of Ford commercial bodies
will be exhibited.
The parade held in connection
with the show started from the Ma
pie street building shortly after
noon on Saturday and a tour was
made to South Amboy, and return
to keasbey, Fords, Woodbridge, Port
Reading, Sewaren, Maurer and then
to this city. The main object of the
parade was to give the merchants in
the various towns an opportunity to
see the different styles and models of
bodies that can be purchased with
the Ford car for use in practically
every line of business.
Another success realized on Sat-
urday was that of the flying of the
one thousand balloons, and the dis
tributiug of the 5000 loily pops.
The balloons were flown from one
of the trucks while passing through
the towns and in every instance the
parade was met by hundreds of kid
dies, who Swarmed about anXiously
in an effort to capture one of the
toys. Some of these contain cou-
pons, which, when returned to the
Dorsey Company by the person cap
turing the balloon, will entitle the
holder to one dollar. The practice
of flying these balloons will be held
throughout this week, and every af-
ternoon at $3.50 o'clock a number of
the air filled rubbers will be flown
from the building on Maple street.
The show will be held all during
this week, starting at Q o'clock in
the morning and closing in the even
ing at the same hour, in the new ad-
dition to the local Ford building.
The rooms are deliberately decora-
ted in blue, white and yellow, while
bunting and American flags predom-
mate throughout the interior and
exterior of the show rooms. At all
times during the show the full force
of statesmen will be on hand to ex-
plain every detail of the M%ifflinburg
bodies, which r used on the Ford
commercial cars, and to assist in the
selecting of the styles and models.
A new feature of the parade will
be two or more moving picture per-
formances at the local theatre, name
ly, "A Day at the Fair" and Farm
ing with the F~ordson." There will
also be a picture showing the con-
struction of the Ford commercial
bodies, and the process from crude
lumber TO a Mifflinburg body.
