.bAMb|NO DROPS
HOT TIPS ON
FAV0R|TES

If the Babe doesn't deliberately
doublecross himself, there is a way
of picking up some hot tips on the
All-Star team he is going to choose
in The Lights big contest.
In case there happens to be a
rabid fan who hasn't been in town
for several days and doesn't already
know about the contest in question,
it is well to repeat that the efstwhile
home-run king, George Herman
Babe Ruth, is going to pick himself
another All-American team this year.
Also, that there is a stable sum
awaiting the first three fans who can
come closest TO selecting the same
team that he does.
The Light will distribute three
prizes, SO, $40 and s.. Fill out
the blank printed on this page and
mail it in at once, if not sooner.
But, first, let's get back TO those
tips.
HE SIZES EN- UP.
Back through your old copies of
The Light, ever so often, you'll come
across an article, signed by the Babe
himself. in which he discourses freely
and without prejudice on the playing
ability Of different stars in the game
today. Many of them deal with the
crop of youngsters which has broken
into the big show during the present
season. In others he gives his ideas
on the ideal ball player and compares
leading candidates for the different
positions.
OF course, when he wrote those
articles, he wasn't thinking about the
present contest. He might even have
changed his mind since he wrote them.
But anyone with genuine intentions
upon that $15 might do well to recall
the Babes past musings.
RUTH BIDES TIME.
No one knows what the Babes
selections are going to be. He doesn't
know himself yet. He locks himself
in, it's understood. about week be-
fore the contest closes on September
3, and doesn't come out even for food
until he has picked what he considers
the best team in the world. He takes
all Of the players in each position on
every club in the major leagues, and
carefully considers their qualifica'
lions.
The Babe doesn't claim to be in
fallible. In fact, there was hardly a
sports writer in the country who
agreed with his last years list in its
entirety, but that's where the sport
comes in. If it were possible to know
lust which is the best PLAYER in every
position, there wouldn't be any Babe |
Ruth contest. The fun is in seeing |
how close you can come to seeing it |
the same way Ruth does.
THE WORK BEGINS.
Although the contest opened only |
Monday morning, the Babe Ruth Con-
test Editor is already getting an ink
ling of the job which confrontS him.

Parent-Teacher Activities

This column is conducted by the
District of Columbia Congress of
Teacher Associations branch
of the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers.
All notices for this column must
be in the hands of the chairman by
noon on the Wednesday preceding
the Sunday on which publication is
desired. Address Mrs. J. N. Saunders,
361S Porter street northwest.
There have been so many calls for
clothing for school children during
the severe weather for the last few
weeks that the shelves of the clothes
conservation room are nearly empty.
This room Is open every Friday, when
the members of the different Parent
Teacher Association assist the chair
man, Mrs. G. S. Fraser, in remodeltng,
mending and distributing the gar
ments. Clothing is only supplied to
school children who are sent to Mrs.
Fraser by either their teacher or the
school nurse. This work has been
one of the greatest of the activities
of the District of Columbia Congress
of Parent Teacher Associations, as
hundreds of children are thus en-
abled to attend school who would
this aid. IL was to supply this lack
that the clothes conservation work
was started and it has been success
fully operated for about ten years.
Mrs. Fraser will receive donations of
clothing. Only garments that can be
easily made into good wearing con-
dition, can be of use. Send all con-
tributionS to the clothes conserva-
ton room, 1864 Columbia road north
west, February 6. The mothers from
Columbia Junior High will assist Mrs.
Fraser.

The ideal Parent Teacher Associa-

eighth grade pupils, Mrs. Charles
Dunmire and Mrs. Pitcher. took IL
pupils from the class to visit q. ses-
sion or Congress, thereby very spIen-
didly assisting the teacher in teach

interest that the parents of the
pupils in this school take in the edu-
cation of their children is shown in
the invitation extended to the kinder
garten class by the father of one
of the pupils, Mr.. Puryear, who is an
officer on the Mayfiower He has in
