business men begin to consult time
tables. Incoming trains bring the
mobs of early visitors and, along the
waterfront, the piers echo the noises
of outgoing steamers.
The answer to all this is simple:
the city iss beginning to take it's mind
off itself. That is characteristic
of a metropolis. The millions caught
within it's vice-like grip seek to turn
their minds in other directions at the
slightest opportunity.
Broadway is getting quite 4 giggle
out of this gag just now.
A youth appeared at an office look
ing for "a job. The office manager,
looking him over, was bit per-
picked. The lad seemed to talk with
a broguc. and yet he had nose of
Semitic cast.
Say, son, what are you-an Irish
man or a Jew
.I'm darned if I know" came the
reply. "You see I've been ushering
for five years at 'Abie's Irish Rose :
A place just off Broadway that
used to specialize in the sharpening
of safety razor blades displays in its
window a sign reading:
"Refilling station for all makes OF
automatic lighters. Repairing also
done"
And they tell me he is doing a
rushing business.
1t is known as Broadways costll-
est plaything.
In mid-theater season last winter
gold-plated coupon clipping gent,
with certain theories concerning the
fate of souls after death, had a young
playwright write Il play. He an
nounced that, if it cost him a million,
he would keep the play going until
its propaganda had spread among
thousands of playgoers. Within q
, couple of months the play had lost
a couple of hundred thousand dol
lars. A recent check of the seasons
plays showed this production to have
enjoyed one Of the longest runs OF
any play put on this year Yet it is
doubtless, the hardest loss taken or
the big street in many a year. 1t is
not unlikely that the hacker has
dropped million or more to get his
idea over-presuming, of course, thai
he converted any percentage Of tht
audiences.

y SPORTS e
YANKEES ONLY
TEAM TO TAKE
2-GAME LEAD
Early Season Wins Turned
Trick For Them Year Ago
Higgins Hopes TO Repeat
(Bv The Associated Prcss)

New York's Yankees are off IN the
lead of the big league pack.
Turning on the steam at the sea
sons start, they apparently are out
TO clinch the pcnnant in the early
Games as they did last year.
Terrific hitting, before the other
clubs had their batting eyes well on
the ball, turned the trick for the
Yanks in 1926 and Miller Higgins
can't see why it shouldn't work
again.
In the first two games Of the sea-
son. the Yankee bats swung so CT
fectivcly against the veteran Ath-
letics that the Higgins clan today
looks down upon the other seven
teams Of the American League, the
only club thus far to chalk up two
in the winning column.
kocnig Is Best Batter
The best batting average shown III
any game yesterday was made BY
Mark Kocnig, Yank shortstop, who
inade five hits in five times up. The
Yankees won, 10 to 4.
Some world beating pitching was
exhibited in the comeback OF the
champion Cardinals in Chicago
where Jess liaines, hero Of last falls
world series, held the Cubs to two
hits in ni,g innings. As though
that was nSt enough, he added two
safcties to the total of IL his team
was making and contributed sacri-
flee for good measure. The Cubs
were shut out. 3 to 0, evening the
count for the first two games.
One of those lightning finishes you
read about but seldom see enabled
the Chicago White Sox to score Sin
runs in the ninth and beat out the
Indians at Cleveland, to :. Tn,

but they blew and paid the price
After pitching good ball all the way
Levsen let the bases fill. Miller re
licvcd him and things grew worse
until Young Hudlin took charge anc

Errors Costly
Three errors at crucial moments
spelled defeat for the Robins, 4 to 2
at the hands of the Braves, despit,

WHY FAT IS
DISAPPEARING

Note in every circle how slenderness
prevails. Note how many of your
friends have reduced. One reason lies
in Marmola Prescription Tablets. They
combat the cause of excess fat, so re-
suits are brought without requiring
abnormal exercise or diet. People have
been using Marmols. for l9 years, and
users have told others. As "a result the
demand has grown to very large pro-
portions. Let it do for you what it does
for your friends-for people all about
you. Reduce to your normal weight.
All druggists supply Marmola at 81
a box. Each box contains pamphlet
explaining the results. Go try it. YOU

81 New Laws Carried
Emergency Clause

When North Dakota needs new
laws it needs some of them in a
hurry, judging by the action Of the
recent legislature which attached the
emergency clause to 81 of the 2S9
statutes passed at the last session.
A list of the laws carrying the
emergency clause has been issued by
the secretary Of state and shows chat
20 originated in the senate 32 il
the house.
Some of the bills were appropria-
tons, an example being the $4,000
appropriation for the construction Of
bridge at Grand Forks. Others
merely provided adjustments in the
distribution of certain funds and one
or two were emergency deficiency
appropriations. A number, however
were important regulatory measures
Among such measures originating
in the senate were the seed and feet
law, the seed labelling law, the stat
ute permitting horse racing at coun
tv fairs, one permitting the leasing
