Read" Signals Of Quarter

So when practice was over he came
to me.
READ" Signals Of Quarter
Coach" he said. "those loud signals
are absolutely unnecessary. You see,
when sickness in my kid days brought
on this deafness my folks gave me the
best instructors obtainable to teach
my lip-reading know every one of
our signals by heart and never fail to
read them, even when I'm standing on
the sidelines."
Well, this changed things lot. That
night thought things over and finally
reached conclusion as to the way in
which l could make use of Strupper
and make use of him right.
Naturally I'd want him in the back
field. Quarterback would have been his
assignment if his inability to call sig
mails clearly hadn't barred him. He
was too light for fullback, SO he would
have to play one of the halfbacks.

was invaluable in backing up the line

Superceding Fielder, the left half,
was a delicate matter to engineer, too.
Fielder had been elected captain of
the team the previous fall. RELOCATING
the captain to the sidelines was an
unusual procedure. Anyway, al.

two. Fielder was a whale of a player

The Cross.Strined Shirt

ID UNS the olden jingle, with a mod h ern twist: Think naught is a
 trifle, though small it may appear |; small sands make the mountain half one per cent is beer" Style is an af- fair of seemingly unimportant varia- tions, because the general cut of mems clothes, unlike women's, is fixed by custom and tradition, and men, again unlike women. are so encrusted with the stucco of habit that they will not accept any radical departures. This applies especially to shirts of which little is seen when worn under the waistcoat and which do not appreciably change in character, but only in color.
 During the last two or three seasons there has been a noticeable trend to- ward the revival of the cross-striped shirt bosom. It vas high in vogue some twenty years ago when the eadGndy flour ished in his prime. Today the dandy, as a type, is virtually extinct. He has been shouldered aside by the well dressed man, who puts his mind on his clothes, but does not keep them on his mind.
 The cross-striped shirt, sketched here, has a short, "set-in," one-stud bosom made of starched madras with the col lar and cuffs to match. The body of the garment is in a harmonizing or con trasting color. This combination. remi- niscent of the old patch" bosom, is new and smart and certain to be ac- cepted as one of the season's outstand- ing fashions among men who like to dress ahead of the crowd and the cal

l5O,OOO WATCH
 ASLEGION HORDE MARCHES PAST
Charles C. Dawes Tramps Along With Illinois
 Buddies

ST. PAUL. Minn., Sept. 16-Down streets banked with humanity. past plazas packed with cheering thousands, more than 125,000 members of the American Legion marched today as an outstanding feature of their national . convention.
 With Legionnaire Charles G. Dawes tramping along with his Illinois buddies, the long line wound its way past re- viewing stand at the state capitol, where National Commander .J. R. Quinn headed the group of prominent visitors which reviewed the spectacle.
 Police estimates of the crowds that witnessed the parade placed the num- Der in excess of 150,000 and most of these watched through until the last unit had passed. It took a few min utes less than three hours for the col umn to pass given point.
 Tn the reviewing stand with Com mander Quinn were Governor Preus of Minnesota, w. B. Haldeman of Louis vile. commander in chief of the, United Confederate veterans; S. R. Van Sant and Ell Torrance of Minneapolis. past commanders of the G. A. R., and for mer Judge K. NJ. Landis.
 Troops Head Parade
 Troops from Fort Smelling headed the parade, and the first legion depart ment in the line was Florida. followed in order by New Mexico, Tennessee. Wisconsin and on down the line in ac- cordance with membership increase rat ing. Sventy-one departments were rep resented.
 As the procession wound through the downtown loop district, where all busi- ness was at a complete standstill, Armi- stice Day scenes were re-enacted. Spec tators in office windows high above the streets sent confetti showering down on the legionnaires, paper streamers shot out upon them and just plain paper by the ton, seemingly, filled the air.
 Overhead six airplanes of the Minne- sota observation squadron flew in va- ried formations, but the roar of their motors was drowned in the chatter of hundreds of horses hoofs as the artil- lery units moved along the line.
 The Milkbanks, s. D., corps had a complete threshing machine in the float section, with the blower of the sepa- rator waiting straw into the crowd as it moved along.
 Civil War Represented
 A few Civil war veterans, with their own fife and drum corps, received a big hand all along the line.
 Minnesota's best fall weather pre- vailed, a warm September sun making shirt sleeve marching pleasant and also adding an air of comfort to the bathing beauties disporting themselves on tho miniature bathing beach that was Flor idas float.
 Commander Quinn led the parade to the reviewing stand, wearing the garb of a cowboy and mounted on bay horse. The Texas delegation was headed by it's "old gray mare" with Miss May Peterson riding her.
 Post mascots wer there in every con ceivable variety. from plain dog, through Missouri's inevitable mule, to bears, foxes, wolves, raccoons and DOT cupines.

ELECTRIC MEN
 VISIT LEAGUES
 MODEL HOME
Continuation Of Crowds Feature Argyle Road
 Show '

The model electrical home" in spected by thousands of home owners and builders since its opening. came under the survey of experts Tuesday, when a score of delegates attending the southern division convention of the National Electric Light association took advantage of the display.
 These men, while their expressions were perhaps more technical than previous guests, also stated an ad- miration for the premises. Three rep resentatiyes from Atlanta were par ticularly enthusiastic over the appoint- ments of the home, and one, who has had intimate experience in staging similar exhibits, declared the Birming ham show to be the best he had ever seen.
 The home, located at 2811 Argyle road, will be open until Sunday eve ming between the hours of 2sand lO o'clock and officials of the Birmingham Electrical league, who are staging the exposition in cooperation with The Age-Herald, are making preparations for a continuance of the throngs which have toured the house.
 Of the numbers who have inspected the lighting system and equipment but one man has voiced flaw in the sys- tenn. He declared that his visit had not been a success because he didn't own the home" and couldn't afford to" if he did. Keynote of the household is education and the league expects that the seeds sown by the guides during the rounds of inspection will bear fruit in better and more beautiful lighted homes for Birmingham.

endar. You may choose plain stripes, or two-tone stripes or cluster stripes in many different effects, all extending cross-wise. The collar to match is some times made in two shapes, one with blunt corners and the other with point ed tips. The cuffs are decidedly round- ed off. A startling innovation is the wing collar, also made to match the bosom of this shirt.
 As a rule, the cross-striped bosom is most becoming to the tall, lean figure as it seem sto give it an appearance of greater breadth. It does not look so we'll on the short, thickset, round faced man, because he needs length, not width. In selecteing cravats to go with the cross-striped shirt. be sure that they are either plain, diagonally striped or figured. A cross!striped scarf over cross-striped shirt spells the whole effect, does cravat which is too vivid in hue.

Parkes declared, and announced his intention of bringing the company back to Birmingham again next spring,,a bigger and better com pany than ever before.
 ''So This Is London" promises to be one of the biggest hits of the season, first because it is rated as among the best of comedies and because most of Birmingham is expected to greet the All-Star players during their last week in Birmingham.
