.TTNRANSFER Transfer!" thatA Go the cry. In this day of traffid
 and transportation h c y will transfer anything from your cats seventh kitten to your most ,,rAciouk ease of ''bottled in pond" any lime. from February 30 to Christmas Snndav anywhere, from Doc Cooks Station to Perry Point. On the station and of Morris avenue, at all approaches to Inc government building, in highways and by-ways you hear the cry. Even The eounty iail is not immune and the rest;ye guests at "BigIRock' listen with scorn to the hawking If the day drivers down below. a
 But now a new significance has heen fixed upon the word. It was inangurated as a baleball inn0va- tion onIy recently bA Mr Robert q. Alien, of Little R&I, always .forward-loolsing businek man, when ha ia looking at mOneN When the ticket buyers who settled around the spot where his basbal stands are located refused to dme out in sufficient numbers Mir. \Allen de- cided to transfer. (TheNact that he changed his mind hasno bear ing on our present nterarA eff0rt.)
 But the transfer has been used sue eessfully in baseball and nowAwe take up the doleful refrain, Eansfer Transfer ?, Yes, transfer us aRaseball team into the Magic City or Nansfer one out. Transfer the jinz froA Rick wood, transfer something, but bSng a change!
 Give us a transfer, we want NoA change cars1 You pay nine cene on a street car and get transfeE But there's no rest for the WearyA you get no transfer at RiclEwood.\ \ 1t is the same old thing day by day. The team transfers, the results the same. Whether Little Rock or or Nashville or Redwood, what matters the town, they ride the same ticket, to station Defeat.
 Five times in three days the Baroni took the count in Little Rock. Aftei this minor setback tho hopeful misfiti opered the series in Nashville Satur day in an suspicious manner by drop ping the first game-six in a row. Wi don't see how Little Rock can hope ts hold her place. The Magic City flashes gre giving them terrible battle for tn, lowest berth.
 The BarOns return to Redwood Wednesday for series with Chat tanOOga. If the team will just drop the remaining games to Nash ville before their return here it will be almost a perfect road trip. Of course they did win one off Mem, phis but that was something of Q slip-up for the Chicks. With such an outstanding showing it appears fitting and proper that a large gathering of fans should meet the cOnquering heroes at the train with a brass band and parade through the city. It would be in order to have all wind instruments in fine shape with the exception of reeds, which should be omitted, and the drums nice and shiny, with the heads left off. With such a band great gObs of silence could be waited up in the afternoon breeze such as would warm the heart Of any pr0digaI son.

ANOTHER ESTIMATE
 ON BONUS MEASURE
Latest Figures Compromise Low
 and High AmOutns

Washington, March 26.--A new es- innate on the cost of the soldier bonus fill passed by the house-s3.- 3pV'0oo,ooO - was presented to the senate hnance committee today by the actuary Of the American Legion, Her bert Hess.
 The figure is compromise between the cost of s4, $50, ,000,O00 estimated by Joseph Mccoy, government actuary and s2,11s.o00,600 estimated by H. P. Brown, veterans bureau actuary.
 Hess, like Brown, argued the cost oi the pald-up insurance policies to the government would not have to in- clllde interest on funds advanced by the government to purchase the poli- cies. These funds, he said, would take the form of direct appropria- tions. Mir. Mccoy insisted the govern nient would be taking the money from one pocket to put it in another ;-ad it would have to account for in- terest in figuring the cost of the bonus.
 Meanwhile the committee again re- sumed consideration of the revenue blli, agreeing to several sections of ad- hinistrative provisions. Senator Reed, republican, Pennsylvania, served mo- tice he would offer an amendment to make interest received. from tax exempt securities taxable. This will again open the fight against tax exempt securities. Chairman Smoot said he believed it would be impossi- ble to tax these securities without a constitutional amendment which al- ready had been defeated by the house.
