.276 QUALIFY IN
COAST TO COAST
MARATHON RACE

LOS ANGELES, March / R)-
Two hundred and seyenty-six run
ners and walkers, among them in
ternational figures over marathon
distances, have qualified for the
cross-country trek to New York
City, starting here Sunday, it was
announced today
All of these ''hoofers' have pass
ed preliminary tests in the way of
ability to jaunt long distances, and
were pronounced by a physician to
be able to- stand the fatigue of the
340O mile grind. The entry list
was considerably larger, but many
were eliminated in the physical ex-
animation.
c. G. Pyle, who is staging the
marathon, announced today that in
starting the race, the runners would
be sent away in groups Of rs, so
that there will be no congestion on
the boulevards. The first stop of
the event will be Punte, Calf,
where the contestants will remain
over night. 1t wa1 decided to make
Bloomington, Calf, the second
nights control so as to facilitate
matters for the following days
run.
Arthur Duffy, the man who first
Travelled 100 yards in 8 3-5 seconds,
land who has been appointed ref
cree for the trans-continentaI jaunt,
will arrive here tomorrow from
Boston. Duffy Immediately will
confer with the entrants and an
Inounce the rules he has set for
Ethe race.

made several friendly wagers that
the former champion will look for
other targets if he does return to
the ring.
The champion also does not
think much of Jack Sharkey as a
fighter, although he recognizes
that he has some traits of person
ality that might make him a good
drawing card.
Sharkey, in the opinion of the
lTunney camp, has some of the me-
chanics of al good tighter, but he
/ lacks ring brains and a lot of smart
boxing men give him similar
rating
! Tunney, according to his friend,
| isn't interested in the challenger
Tex Rickard picks for his summer
engagements. He wants the name
of the man well enough in advance
of the date of the fight only that
he may train for the particular kind
OF a fight that opponent may re-
quire.
He is not looking at his oppon-
ents as box office attractions, as
he feels that he will pack any
arena as the champion and that he
drew as many customers in Phila-
delphia and Chicago as Dempsey
did. He insists that he is just as
good a drawing card as Dempsey
ever was and that all Rickard will
have to do is to take in the dough
when he arranges the match re-
rardleas of tho challenger.

rWO RIVALS FOR GENE.

TWO RIVALS FOR GENE.
One of Gene Tunney's best
friends, man who is as close to
the heavyweight champion as any
of his little group Of intimates,
was discussing few days ago the
prospects OF the fighters who hope
to relieve him of the title.
He seemed to think that of all

Tunney, it was learned from his

the title against him and he has

speed if he fattened himself up in
a short time. Loughran'sI great
est asset is his speed and l don
believe he is much faster than Tun-
ney."
Tunney's friend seemed to think
more of Loughran as future pros
pect than Delaney.
Delaney" he said, has scored
some impressive looking knock
outs, and he surely can hit a GER
tain kind of target But Tunney
is not his type of target Delaney
can crack the jaw of any big man
who tears into him open for a
counter punch, but Tunney would
not be the champion if he happen
ed to- be that kind of fighter.

"The records will show that
Delaney isn't big enough, strong
enough or good enough to beat
a fast big man. Against truck
horse, he is wow.''

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday, October 2.

Although q strongly benefic aspect
| dominates tomorrow, according to
astrology, there are minor adverse in
| fluenceS.
! This is pTe-eminently a planetary
government under which to use all
! forms of publicity. 1t is especially
suspicious for newspaper advertising.
Writers and editors should benefit
| from this sway. but there is llkell-
hood of libel while this conf1guration
prevails.
The rule encourages unkindly Cos
sip, especially concerning persons in
the public eye. Again the seers warn
men and women to guard their speech,
for the direction of the stars is sin
lister and is supposed to make persons
o,1ick to believe the worst concerning
| their fellow beings.
Tomorrow is not favorable day for
seeking new positions and those In
search of employment will be wise
to postpone important plans for
reaching coveted places.
The earth forming its major con-
junction with Uranus now is supposed
to bring about intense desire for lib
erty and even license.
Craving for excitement and nov
eltv will continue, especially among
Young persons, who should be safe
guarded against many current customs
and temptations.
Mars elevated again appears to pres
age a warlike spirit in Europe as the
Autumn advances and new diplomatic
problems are indicated for the United
States.
Under this planetary government
women may be exceedingly restless and
disconnected. Many will desire change
and will seek to remove from their
places of abode, 1t is foretold.
Comfort and prosperity for wage
earners of all classes are prognosti-
Gated. Farmers are to benefit in 1929.
Persons whose birth date is tomor-
row may have rather a trying year in
which there is tendency to work at
cross purposes. These subjects OF
Virgo are usually methodical and or
derry. so they suffer from any sort OF
upheaval. but they are able to over
come many obstacles.
Children born on tomorrow prob
ably will have many talents, and on
that account will present difficulties to
those who rear and educate them.
They should be taught patience and
adaptability. Virgo children are capa-
BILE of amazing development.

Inasmuch as it is intended to be written
upon. it will take India ink very nicely,
and 1t will probably offer good surface
for the painting also to be done.
Water colors are the thing to use.
They come in two kinds, transparent
and opaque, and are recommended.
They are considered more decorative.
Also, they are somewhat easier to ap-
ply. The initials should be colored III
a shade striking in contrast to the
color of the paper itself. Since there
is so little of this color, its presence in
a bright hue is no less dignified than
of bright gold in an engraved mono
gram.
Should one wish both background
and initial to be in color water color
paper that will also take ink is advised.
Something with little substance is
preferred. Imagine unite envelope OF
good quality on the back of which is
chic little hand-colored seal in bright
orange and blue-or purple and yellow
or red and bottle green.
The means suggested for carrying out
the idea of the personal letter seals is
one which involves practically no out
lay. If one wished to go to trif1ing
expense the model of the letter could
be used for a cut, from which many
printings could be made, obviating the
necessity of doing the pen work by
hand and insuring its uniformity as
we'll as saving time.
(Copyright. 1929
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-10-01

Those who like novelty and distinc-
ton to mark even the outside OF the
social letters they send will appreciate
knowing a further use for the initials
which are appearing from time to time
in this paper.
The fashion for the cut-out initials
In tire corner of letter paper is as
cribed } France, as also is the one for
using he letters in somewhat different
form 20 give the personal touch to the
envelope.
There are many styles in stationery
DO bizarre as to be undignified. but the
mode for the initials here discussed is
given approval by the most conserva-
Eave women abroad.
It is in the role of seal upon the
envelope flap that the decorative in
HalS are used. When wax is the medi-
an, it is customary for it to bear the
imprint of the initial or other insignia
of the sender, and likewise is it appro-
pirate that the chic of the pasted
seal should be derived from the let
ter it shows, and the colors in which
1t is ornamented.
In using the tiny initials for en-
velope flaps, the surface of them is not
cut out as in the prescribed use for
note paper. The contours are traced
upon a fine grade of paper. and out
lined in India ink. A single sheet of
the paper to be used with the envelope
will supply material for many initials.

ton. There must be good wall spaces,
well placed windows and all such con-
veniences as will simplify the daily
tasks.
One Of the most important points
for an attractive house is that which
deals with closet space. for there must
be plenty of this. Clothes, hats, shoes.
bed and table linen all have to be
taken care of, and yet they must not
make the house appear crowded.
The piece of furniture with seven
sliding tray drawers and two small
ones of the regulation type, shown In
the illustration, is an ideal piece for
large house or small apartment.
It slips right into the closet and may
be finished to match the woodwork, so
that it will look as If 1t were an in
stalled piece. Don't forget to paint the
interior of the drawers in a contrast
ing shade, for this always lends interest
to a roon-and closets are fast be-
coming artistic.
