strument in addition to the one which
he plays when the band is appearing
as, military organization. This
policy was laid down by Leader San

and has been rigidly followed since,
the only permitted exceptions being

ough knowledge Of all stringed in
struments and with many years Of
training in symphony orchestra

This inscription will be placed on

The kindergarten unit was organ

Miss Curtis went to France in 1917,
representing the citizens committee
for the Children of America, to study
the effects OF war upon the children.
There she found conditions which
were pitiful-children living In cell

nothing of play and sunshine: chill

HAY fever CLINIC
WILL START MARCH 4

The Womau's Welfare Association
announces that on Tuesday, March 4,
at I pm, it's clinic for the preven-
tive treatment for hay fever and
asthma will be reopened for the third
season. The treatment will be espe-
cially designed for tho summer type
of hay fever. incorrectly termed
rose fever"
This type of hay fever begins in
the latter part of May and extends
to the middle of July. 1t is coincident
with the pollination of the grasses.
In this locality, sweet vernal grass,
June grass. orchard grass, red top,
timothy and fox tail grass bloom in
succession. Susceptible individuals
upon the inhalation of the pollen
grains suffer from the distressing
symptoms of hay fever.
Has Collected Pollen.
The clinic has collected pollen from
the local flora and is well supplied
with appropriate potent extracts
upon which favorable treatment de-
pends. The results achieved in the
past compare favorably with the best
clinics in the country, and improve
developed offer even greater promise
for the relief of hay fever victims.
To attain the best results, treatment
should begin at least six to eight
weeks in advance of the onset Of the
disease.
MElndy Increasing.
- cen conservatively esti-
mated that / per cent of the popula-
t.--- ..oyo.. to nay fever. The
numper seems to be increasing each
year because of the hereditary char
Acter of the disease. Hay fever is
regarded as the most serious of the
uon-fatal diseases. Asthma, which is
present in about 20 per cent Of the
cases adds to it's dreaded character.
The clinic is held at the Social
Service House, 1929 11th street, cor
uer il street northwest.
The clinic is supported by dona-
tions from friends of the Woman's
Welfare Association. Owing to its
limited facilities, the treatment is
given only to those working women
and girls who are unable to pay
private physicians for similar profess
Sional services

October II, and then the gentlemen from Tennessee will catch the train for Minneapolis, there to meet Minnesota on November 9, the Saturday before they encounter Sewanee in their an nual Thanksgiving classic.
 Louisiana State university will make raid on the fields of southwestern football, in addition to Florida and Sewanee, for the eleven coached by Mike Donohue will play Rice at Hous- ton, on October IS. Mississippi A. & M. ventures over into Missouri to bat tie Washington university at St. Louis in their closing-oue encounter, Novem- Der 27.
 As for prospects the searching eye of the critic can see nothing but Florida, Alabama and Vanderbilt on the dope sheet. Here is as queer a trio as one can conjure up. Alabama, the mighty terror of the Dixie gridiron of 1923, crushed in the final game by Florida, Vanderbilt, who had not nearly at tained the record of the Crimsons from Alabama up to the final game, is awarded the championship, and Florida, the team which threw the balance to Vanderbilt's end of the scales, merely won another game.
 With only two letter men gone, Cap tain Robbie Robinson and Stewart Pomeroy, tackle and halfback, respec- lively, there seems little hope of many southern elevens stopping Florida. Ala bama is not on the Gators menu this fall and it will be up to Georgia Tech, Mississippi A. & M. and~ Washington and Lee to check the rush of the Ali gators in the southern conference. Florida will have Ed" Jones, alI- southern on many picks, at quarter, Goldstein, all-southern tackle, Middle cauf, who received many votes as all- southern fullback, Lightsey, all-south- ern end on many mythical elevens, and a host of stars in uniform when their seasons menu is opened.
 As for Vanderbilt there are many of her greatest men back. The mighty Bomar, Walter Camps choice for two years on his all-American eleven, Wake field, of whom Yost, at Michigan, said, He IS the most perfect end that has ever performed on Wolverine field, Captain Kelly, all-southern tackle. Gil Reese, all-southern halfback, Rives, another aIl-sOuthern tackle, and lesser stars Of their great constellation.
 At Alabama the most promising fea- ture is Coach Wallace Wade. It is figured that with the nucleus that he has, and he cannot boast of any such wealth of material as these other two great Dixie elevens, and the one year m which he has had to train the men in his style of playing the great Ameri- can college game, that he will out any ele'en Whlch will sweep to victroy and the championship cup.

ATLANTA LOSES
 LAST CHANCE
Best Crackers Can Do Is To
 Tie Chickasaws

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 14.-By los- ing today's game to Chattanooga, At lanta dropped it's last chance to win the Southern Association pennant on the basis of regularly scheduled games, but still has a long chance to tie the Memphis Chickasaws for the champion ship and throw the decision into post season games.
 Had the Chicks won today, they would have cinched the pennant, but Nashville took a twelve inning game from Memphis.
 Atlanta has six more games to play, while Memphis has five. Should At lanta lose another game or should Mem phis win another, the pennant will go to the Chickasaws. If Atlanta wins all six games and Memphis loses the five scheduled games, the teams will be tied, with 101 victories and B defeats for each team. If either team fails to play all the games remaining on the schedule, Memphis will win the pen nant.
 Including today's games, Memphis won six and lost two during the week s play while Atlanta won four and lost two. The Chicks gained their victories through terrific hitting. In seven games, including Saturdays, Memphis made 100 hits, for 56 runs. These hits included six home runs. Atlanta in five games hit safely 49 times for IS runs. Defensively, Atlanta allowed opponents but 12 runs in the five games, while Memphis allowed 31 runs in seven games.
 Little Rock had the best week of the season winning out of six games, getting better pitching and hitting the ball for an average of over ten safeties to the game.
 { MO R E)
 Nashville, suffering a batting slump, lost five out of seven games played.
 The league enters the final week with Memphis, Atlanta, New Orleans and Nashville forming the first division in the order named, and with all proba- bility that they will finish the season in that lineup.
 Mobile, Chattanooga, Birmingham and Little Rock form the second division in the order named.
 Details of the post-season games-the Dixie world series-with Fort Worth, champions of the Texas league, will not be settled until the pennant race in the Southern is definitely decided, Presi- dent Martin of the Southern association has announced.
 The weeks play, including Saturday s games follows:
