The average family medicine chest is closet in the bathroom in which the family places practically everything that may eyer he "re- srribcd for anyone in illness, any thing distributed from door to door as useful in illness. anything used on the exterior or interior of the body for cosmetic purposes or for regulation; indeed. anything that does not quite fit somewhere else.

 All men experiment with sat- ty razors; all men have difficulty in disposing of the blades. In a half dozen medicine chests in which l have snooped in recent months, obsolete razors and blades cluttcred mp the shelves.
 IScful Remedies Are Few
 The medical profession rocog- nizrs that there IS need for lous"- hold remedies. However, the number Of remedies that aro Usu- ally useful and safe is limited. Most families have their farorite laNativcs and purgativcs. These include anything from tn" old compound pills 10 castor oil Of mineral oil
 The safest laxative for most people Of advanced years is min- cral oil. since it is not absorbed by the body and acts merely me- chanicaily. There ire today mix lures of mineral oil with other substances which in some in stances enhance its usefulness. Epson salts, sodium phosphate or citrate of magncsia are still pre- ferrcd by some people.
 Bicarbonaro of soda Is useful for many purposes. ds is also milk of maGncsia. These enter into mouth washes, antacids and other purposes.
 Almost every family has it's fla vorite pain reiievcr for headaches or mild pains associated with pc riodic disturbances. GnfOrtu- nately, Of, recent years coal tar derivatives that are potent. and derivatives of veronal have be- gun to find a place in the mcdi- cine chest and most physicians are convinced that it is dangerous to take these things habitually.
 Thoro used to be call for ion irs, but it is recognized today that the best tonic is good diet, out door air, suitable exercises. and plenty of rest. Nitamin propara- tions are beginning 10 take the place of the Old-time tonics

 The wisest thing for every fam fly to do is to so through the medicine chest at least every three months with the intention of throwing things away that are rot constantly used The things that are constantly used should be listed and the family physician should be asked to give his opinion | as 10 their merits.

Bringing Out the Hidden Lights
 m Brunei Iam

Despite the bob q WOman's hair remains her croWning glory. And now that many girls are letting their locks grow, they would be wis to take precautions 10 make them as lovely as possible when the growing ataee is past.
 Norma Shcarcr's crisp brown hair is one of her loNrli"at fca- lures. She never has bobhed it. "A woman's hair can be 90 love- ly when it is properly cared fo,' Miss Shears says, but in this day of maTcoIs and pormanonts few girls will give their hair in" proper care. The first rcquist" for lovely hair is nealth. both of the hair and of the body. If there is a trace of dandruff it should be treated immediately with q good tonic And then comes the brush. Hair should be brushed at least 100 strokes daily to bring out tne hidden lights. A scalp massaG" with the fingertips is also bencfi- cial"
 Two Kinds of shampoo
 Shampooing methods for blonda and brunetS differ.
 An excellent soap for the bru- net" Miss Shearer says, 'is pine tar soap, shaved and melted in hot water. Besides it's cleansing prop critics and the lovely lights it brings out in dark hair, this soap also has a pine odor which is de- | lightful.
 "A lemon rinse. followed by q l clear water rinse, makes the hair soft Another rinse which will bring a lovely gloss is few drops of olive oil added to the last rinse | water.

BOYS ANXIOUS
TO WIN GAMES
FOR JOHNSON
BY BRIAN EELL
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writ,

ASSOCIATED Press Sports Wrltcr.)
TAMPA. Fla, March 7.-LPp-
Walter Johnson, who spent q years
in the ranks Of the Washington
baseball club, has returned to as
sumo the post of the commander-in-
chief facing an unusual handicap.
The big fellow is held III such af-
lection by his fellows it is possible
they will be too enthusiastic il try
ing to win for him.
The great neutral vote of base
ball has cast solidly for Connie Mack
for years but the tall tactician
may have to share it this season
with the Big Train for among the
fans at large Walter Johnson re-
mains n Of the great idols Of the
game. The feeling extends to the
Washington players and every one
of the thirty athletes in the train
ing camp wants TO 90 out right now
and die in a baseball way for Good
old Barney"
Manager Johnson himself is pay
ing strict attention to his pitchers.
OF the even dozen pitchers Oh
hand over half OF the number are
regarded as sure to stick with the
other two or three places very much
in doubt. Sad Sam Jones, Garland
BraXton, Irving Hadley, Fred Mar
berry, Lloyd Brown, Adolph Liska
and Paul Mccullough promise to
start.
A merry battle may be fought out
among the rest. Bob Burke. a tall
but very thin left handler, who was
on the club last year, needs more
weight and jim Weaver, six and
one half inches over six feet and
scaling $50 pounds has too much.
IF the giant Weaver absorbs in
Structions sufficiently to get the
most from his pitching arm he
should uncover a high, hard one"
that will be difficult to bunt, much
less hit. Weaver apparently needs
schooling in fielding. He is so big
he has difficulty in c~oordinating
his hands and feet. Mike Martin,
the linament king Of the Washing
ton training quarters, boasts that
Weaver can unScreW the lights on
the roof Of a railway car while
standing flat-footed but in his brief
baseball experience his success with
buntS has not been SO striking.

HIGH CACERS {
PLAY FRIDAY
State Tourney To Be Run Off
AT College Station Is
Colorful One \
Especial to The Herald
~ CIT Tav

COLLEGE STATION, Tex,
For eight years the annual Ia
terscholastic league basketball tour
nament to determine the high school
cage champions Of Texas has been
one Of the most colorful high school
athletic events of the state and,
with increasing popularity each
year, it is becoming n Of the most
important high school classics of
Texas. The ninth annual tourna-
ment to be held at the "A. g. M.
Memorial gymnasium Friday and
Saturday, March SO, promises to
lack nothing in the color or action
Of meets Of previous years and with
fourteen Of the strongest teams ever
entered in such an annual tourney,
the meet this year is expected to at
tract more than usual interest.
The first Interschola5tic league
tourney Was held in 1921 when Andy
Cohen, now famous major league
ball player. led the Ell Paso high
school cagerS to the title. The fol-
lowing year the small town Of Lin
dale sent forward to cop the trophy
what was said to be the strongest
aggregation ever entered in a stats
meet. This team was later declared
ineligible. however. In 1928 and 1924
Oak Cliff high school of Dallas set
a mark which has never been equal
led by taking the title twice in "a
row. In 1925 Holly Brock, ace Of
the Texas Longhorn quintet this
year, led the Beaumont cager5 to
the championship and in 1926 Brac-
kenridge high school of San An
tonic won the meet. Athens high
school won the meet at A. 81 M. in
1927 and last year the Austin Ma
rooms won the title but were declar-
ed ineligible and the trophy given
to Temple.
This year speculation as to the
outcome of the meet has been rife
but on preseason dope numerous
scribes and critics favor the veteran
Athens quintet while Denton, Ell
Paso, CorSicana and San Jacinto
high school of Houston have also
come in for a large share of consid-
Grafton. However. with the large
number Of upsets that have featured
Journeys Of the past, it is evident
that dope mean almost nothing and
everyone Of the fourteen teams en-
tered in the meet is conceded a good
shot at the title.
The fourteen bi-district cham
pions entered in the meet are: Ath-
ems, Bryan, Cisco, Corsicana, Deni-
son, Denton, FL Paso, Estelline,
Knippa. Main Avenue (San Anto-
Mo-. May, McAllen. Perryton and
San Jacinto high school Of HousN.

a promising young shortstop acting
as understudy. Stuffy Stewart and
Minter Hayes will play second base
between them. Stewart seems to
become faster as he grows older and
he has practically made good on
his third trial although he may not
play regularly. On the F%loridian's
previous visit to the Washington
camp he has found the manager,
Bucky Harris playing his position.
Joe Judge has no opposition at
first base but a substitute has not
yet been elected. The chances of
Harley Boss. a Little Rock recruit.
were hutr when he suffered injuries
TO his hands in an automobile acct

dences of crowding around third,

his regular position and still remain

ley Glass d League Organized With 4 Clubs

find out in the next few days If
Harlingen and Mission cared to en-
ter, and If not to get in touch with
Corpus Christi and k%ingSville.
Rules and regulations of the lea
que were drawn up, subject to the
approval of the board of directors
Of the permanent organization. The
board Of directors is composed of
the president Of each club Of the
league.
The season is scheduled to start
May l and end August Is. It was
also agreed to have a split season.
A salary limit OF $500 per month
was put in the laws, as were other
rules as follows:
President of league to devote his
whole time to the league.
Thirteen players to be carried.
Three umpireS to be employed.
No club shall carry more than one
player who has played in a league
with a rating higher than Glass A.
Price of admission shall be 60c
and 40c on week days; 75c and soc
on Sundays and holidays. Children
under Is years of age shall be ad-
mitted for Csc.
Every Monday shall be ladies' day,
at which time ladies will be admit
ted free.
Gate receipts to be pooled, and
each club apportioned share and
share alike, after expenses Of the
league are deducted.
A forfeit bond of $500 must be
put up before franchise is granted
to any town.
An optimistic note prevailed, and
each n present believed that with
proper organization back of each
club it would be Self-Sustaining, and
a going concern from year to year.
Disappointment was expressed at
Harlingen'S not sending a represent
ative, as it had declared itself ready
to enter the Glass D league several
weeks ago. Mr.. Trent, however, be-
lieyed Harlingen would enter the
league.
Mr.. Boston expects to call the
representatives together in the next
few days, or as soon as he finds out
whether Harrington and Nilsson
wan to enter, and effect permanent
organization.

BERTHS LEFT
OPEN FOR TWO
MORE CITIES
fSnecial to The Herald

MERCEDES, March IA base
ball league was organized here last
night, composed of Brownsville,
San Benito, Mercedes and McAllen.
The personnel of the league mem
bers may be changed. as Mercedes
was not certain it could enter.
Berths were left open for Har-
lingen and Mission, should they de-
sire to enter. Harrington announced
sometime ago its intention OF being
q member and Mission asked that 1t
be given until Friday to make a fl
nal decision.
Should both or either of these
towns not enter the circuit, Corpus
Christi, known to be DESTROYS Of en-
tering, and KingSville will be offered
franchises in the organization.
o. n. Boston, of BROWNSVILLE, was
elected president, by a committee.
Mr.. Boston, in accepting the cleo
ton, thanked the committee for
this action, stated 1t was not his
desire to become head Of the league
because he, along with Bob Wells,
had been working toward organi-
cation for several weeks.
iii accept the presidency, for
the time being at least" MIR Boston
declared. And if al the time of
permanent organization Of the lea
que, the board Of directors see fit
to not continue me in office, or to
make me permanent president. will
be all right with me. I want base
ball. want to see the Valley in or
ganized baseball; I am an enthuSi-
asst" Mr.. Boston stated.
The delegates gathered at the city
hall in this city at 1880 o'clock.
Guy Trent, San Benito, chairman
of the committee looking toward the
permanent organization Of the lea
que, called upon Boston and Wells
to inform those present what they
had done toward formation of the
league. Mr.. Wells stated that Mis-
sion citizens had asked him to state
to the meeting that they would
know definitely Friday if she could
enter the circuit, and asked that a
berth be left open for her until then.
NfcAllen announced ready to go.
Mercedes vas uncertain, but be-
lieved it would enter.
Harlingen failed to send a repre-
sentative.
San Benito announced ready, as
did Brownsville.
The president was instructed to

yes, the Valley is coming into its
own at 2 rapid rate along the
sport line.
What's Hornsby going to do this
year with the Chicago Cubs, is
baseball fodder among fans the
country over. Valley fans are also
interested and talking along this
phase of the national pastime. We
believe Hornsby is going to be just
what he has been in the past, the
greatest hitter in the National lea
que, and u of the greatest ball
players that ever stepped upon q
diamond. Mccarthy. Cub manager,
knows how to handle men like
HornSby, Hack Wilson, Cuyler and
Stephenson. It's going to be pretty
tough on pitchers when facing such
sluggerS as the above named Cubs.
Walter JOhnsOn-SucceSS or not
as manager of the Washington
Senators this year-certainly has
the right idea of conditioning his
prOteges. First thing the popu-
lar Senator did when he reached
training camp was to issue orders
10 his men not to throw the ball
around until they had limbered
up their legs and muscles of the
body. Many a good ball player
has ruined his chances of becom-
ing a star by grabbing a ball the
first day of spring training and
heaving it with all his might, and
consequently throwing it away
in diamond parlance.
Way out in Phoenix, Ariz., Bucky
Harris is putting the Detroit Tigers
In fighting mood for this coming
season. Harris may be regarded as
a high-hatted gent by some fans
and writer's, but the fact remains
that Bucky who, before going to
the big leagues, was a poor boy
working in a coal mine. Anybody
who has the ambition and the sue
cess Harris has had. under such cir
cumstanceS, deserves credit. But
the thing we greatly admire about
Harris, is that he is the boss of his
players on the field; a lot more than
many managers of ball clubs, who
haven't the backbone to back up
their Judgment. when coming in
contact with the president Of his
club.
