Blick visited Rickard primarily
IA get ideas and incidentally to in
vite the promoter to become asso-
ciated with the washington Garden.
Rickard loaded him with ideas, but
contract with the Ringing Broth

As . result Of the talk with
Richard, Blick is confident that

'.and If boxing is legalized so much

Rickard, hockey, basketball and
bike races make more money Tor
his place than boxing.
Lou Little, director of athletics
at Georgetown University, and
John O'Reilly, the Blue and Gray
track coach, are two Of the most
interested moral supporters Of
Blfck and his associates. They have
been forced to call off the annual
Georgetown indoor meet for want
Of place to hold It.
Until Blick and his associates con.
verted Convention Hall into a bowl
ing alley, the Georgetown meets,
held there. drew overflow crowds.
It was sad day for the Blue and
Gray when the hall switched games,
Georgetown authorities hopefully but
in vain examined the city's facilities
and finally declared the institution
could no longer carry on with its
traditional meet.
And the loss of Convention Hall
came at q time when track and

Lingerie. 1t would seem, always lags
just a few feet behind frocks and
wraps In following fashions. We
wear faring frocks when our slips
are built on the FELLOWSHIP principle.
Our outside frocks show a slight in
ward molding at the waistline when
our vests or combinations or night
gowns are still constructed as If we
were proportioned like unto a string
bean. And our skirts grow shorter
and our slips must needs be shortened.
We have to become quite sure that
skirts are going to remain short for
sea son before we ask for very short
lingerie. We use our longer slips and
turn up the hem if they seem too
long for our curtailed frocks. We
hardly dare cut off the extra material
in the slips for fear we might need to
make them long again. 1t is only
when the short skirt has fingered so
long that no one regards 1t as very
thrilling or naughty any more that
lingerie definitely becomes shorter.
Slips now are short, so short that
they don't look like slips and combina-
lions. and step-ins likewise are very
short. OF all our garments apparently
nightgowns alone remain long. There
seems to be something rather grace
less about the knee-length nightgown
and our pajamas are still made with
trousers down to the ankles. It's
rather lucky that the mode for short
skirts has not forced us into the
fashion of wearing pajamas short like
knee breaches.

My earliest memory of museum
is one at the University of Wiscon-
sin, which | visited as a boy. | ga zed
with awe at the bones of giant ami
NAL.
Once upon 4 time the owner of
the skeleton roamed about the Mis-
s!ssIppi Valley. 1t was a mastodon.
a beast about the size of an elephant.
Its body was formed like an eIe-
plants, but the hide was coated with
hair and the teeth were of different
shape.
Herds of maStodons lived III Amer
lea thousands Of years ago. Their
hairy coverings protected them from
the severe cold IT the time of the
last visit of the glacial sheet. There
were also mammothS in early Amer
lea. Both of these beasts had hair.
but You can keep them apart in your
mind by remembering that maStodonS
had tuSks which We're straight. or

ties she attended, the cocktails she
drank or the lingerie she wore-or
rather didn't wear. The older, more
sedate chaperons sat and talked
about it--but they can find little thrill
in doing 1t now, because the chances
are that the chaperons themselves
have left off certain articles OF under
apparel themselves that they used to
consider as essential to responsibility.
What happened, of course, was that
when girls left off corsets when they
went to a dance-nothing seemed TO
come of it; and the girls who wore
ounces of lingerie beneath their pretty
party frocks turned out to be as sane
and decent and of the sort you'd like
for a daughter as those who wore
ounces of such-like georgette and chlf-
fon. Besides, chaperons found That
their own clothes looked better ana
that they felt better If they didn't
wear bulky undertakings, and that the
necessity for wearing corsets really
was more matter of pounds OF hesh
than of responsibility.
So at least the atmosphere is clear
ed-and we can frankly announce the
fact that all manner of combinations
and step-ins are becoming shorter and
shorter and will be as short as may
be for Spring and Summer, without
feeling that we have been a bearer of
disgraceful news. There really have
been some interesting, though not
very drastic, developments in the field
of lingerie within the past fewfweeks

top, or the vest or brassiere should
serve this purpose. Some of the finest
tailored combinations and slips are
made with fine hemstitching for their
sole ornament and this gives just the
right touch when shown beneath the
tailored sport frock.
The fact that very generally lingerie
designed for late Winter and early
Spring wear is of soft pale tints and
that much of 1t is of white ought not
to be surprising nor does 1t really in
dicate that women have tired of bright
shades. What it does indicate is that
women have set their hearts on wear
ing little silk frocks or jumper cos
tunes made Of lightweight silks, and
other thin materials. Though they
are not actually transparent, the color
of the slip or other underwear shows
through.
The amount of green that would
show through a pink silk frock would
be quite inconsiderable If that green
was of the new variety that is shown

today the explanations attempted by
Wall Street were perfunctory. There
was the serious character of the MeXi

cash by those who had waited until
the last day 10 establish tax losses
These were the two subjects most
dwelt on.
The selling reached a good size vol

after was not SO important. AS a
matter of fact this in an influence
which in the closing days of every
recent year has always been eXagger'
ated, as has been very quickly estab.
lished when business started in for
the new calendar period.
SO far as Mexico was concerned, 1t
IS a situation which affects the Ameri-
can oil companies having interests
below the border. but that is all. The
Pan-American r shares, with the
quarterly dividend deducted from the
price, sold down to SO, where they
were within six points of the extreme
low of 1926. This comparatively low
price level indicates a considerable
measure Of preparation for any even
tuality.
Baldwin Locomotive broke badly.
Supporting orders for a while were
apparently withdrawn almost COM

was true of du POnt.
Southern Railway was the out
standing feature among the rails and
when it started forward toward the

the railway list responded. The curl
Gus part about the buying of the last
week or more in Southern Railway is
that it has not been attended by
rumors, but appears to have been
straight out and out buying for in
Nestment purposes. New York Cen
