OCTLkeS lWeCUe
A few years ago, it was said Of certain man
that he was made to STRIKE TWELVE, but he
never struck more than TEN in his life.
Birth, education, opportunity -all conspired to
make him top-notcher He died. however with
out having reached the goal quite within his grasp.
There are stores just like that man. They are
too good not to be better In day when the public
demands superlative service and superior mer-
chandise it is folly for any Store not to try to make
its business STRIKE TWELVE.
The Palais Royal in the great MAY SALE that
is now meriting and securing the enthusiastic at
tentlon of the public is eXenplifying some of the
outstanding marks of Department Store that
STRIKES TWELVE.
It is demonstrating the wisdom of a truly pro-
gressive management. This is not the place to
indulge in personalities; nevertheless the most
casual observer of the Palais Royal during these
busy days of the MAY SALE cannot fail to see
obvious evidences OF management that thorough
ly believes in anticipating the publics wants, and
then supplying them with the best merchandise
that the public will buy. In organization, buying,
displaying goods, selling making small profits and
quick turnovers, the Palas Royal is thoroughly
modern and progressive
Another mark Of the store that STRIKES
TWELVE is it's knowledge of the needs of the peo-
pie who comprise it's clientele. knowledge is
power" in business as we'll as in the professions
the sciences, and elsewhere The Buyers of the
fifty-nine departments of The Palais Royal are
experts in knowing the wants of Washington. Com
parsons are sometimes odious, especially when
culture refinement, good taste, and education are
questions Of consideration The Palais Royal knows
that because Washington at it's best is cross Sec
ton of the culture and refinement Of the world,
only the best values for money expended will make
a successful appeal to the Washington public.
Without this knowledge, scientific and proper buy
ing is impossible Good taste in merchandise is
necessary to satisfy the average Washington
patron. The Paais Royal seeks always to major
in good TASTE The present sale is an excellent IL
lustration
In America genuine democracy is necessary in
the policy Of Department Store that STRIKES
TWELVE This spirit and policy of democracy
must run clear through the organization of the
store from the manager to the last salesperson
employed, if the best cooperation is to be secured.
In this respect, The Palas Royal is model Recog-
milton and reward of merit go hand in hand with
the spirit of cooperation and good will among the
seven hundred and eighty people who comprise the
personnel Of the store Naturally this democracy
is reflected in the courteous attitude of The Palas
Royal toward it's patrons. Because of this fact,
the crowds that are daily seen in The Paais Royal
during the May Sale represents cross section of
humanity.

TUFTS HEAD URGES
FOOT BALL FOR ALL

MEDFORD, Mass, December 23.-
A program Of collegiate foot ball In
which every man in college physical
ly able would play tho game In inter-
mural competition until about No
vember 10, after which the best 20
players would be selected and coach
ed as the college team to meet other
teams similarly chosen in inter-
collegiate play, was advanced today
by President John A. Cousens Of
Tufts.
Similar arrangements In other var
sity sports were recommended.
The present undue influences Of
graduates IN what should be purely
undergraduate activity would be
minimized and the coach would be a
bona fide professor OF physical educa-
ton.
Independent of tho question of
adoption OF this suggested change
in the general scheme, Presi-
dent Cousens predicted that the pro-
fessional coach will disappear from,
college athletics.
The college head said that there
was no doubt that colleges gain ed
benefits from foot ball and other
sports in addition to the physical
training involved to members Of the
squads.
BY no other means could SO keen
community Of interest be arou-ed
throughout a college in tho early
months of the college year a. by foot
ball, he thought.
The suggested changes, he said.
were advanced with the thought Of
extending these benefits.

Scrapper who took the championship
from Abe Goldstein at Madison
Square Garden last week, is the sixth

Pete Herman, Joe Lynch and Johnny
Buff took turns occupying the

Homer Hazel, 1923 all-American
foot ball star and father of three
children, has won his varsity letter in
five sports at Rutgers. Besides the
Sridiron game, he was awarded the
''R" in basket ball, base ball, track
and tennis.

Sridiron stars by graduation, includ-
ing Capt. Berry, named as all-Eastern
end by many critics; Budd, giant
guard, also is included in numerous
ace; Crate and Brown. two other

Unusual reliance is being placed
upon pitchers by major league clubs

campaign. Connie Mack parted with

acquired three veteran twirlers, Cow
cleskie, Ruether and Gregg, while the

TO St Louis. Mack figures that with
the addition of Groves, his long task
of rebuilding the Athletics is about
TO bear fruit. The tall tutor sees
visions of a pennant in 1925 or 1926.
The Mackmen have made threatening
gestures for the past two seasons, but
now loom as real contenders.
