CHICAGO, July 1.-THE endurance
racket today mad reached the teeter-
totter stage, sometimes spoken OF as
"See-Saw." .
Two young Evanston misses-Mildred
Borrey, II, and Ruth Emerson, ~,
teeter- tottered to q worlds teeter-totter
record yesterday, but finally were forced
to land by unimaginative policemen.
The little ladies had been see-sawmg
for some seven-odd hours, being re-
fueled with fruit, cakes and sandwiches
by admiring future citizens.
Out on Artesian avenue three boys
were enduring on bicycle, having done
325 miles last night and still going.
They started Monday. A refuellng crew
has been established in q tent, in case
the bicycle develops tire trouble.
That grand stunt of tree-sitting, con-
ceived by brilliant adolescents rs the
enduring-est of the endurance trials,
has become epidemic. In almost every
part of town some daring youth may pc
found perched in tree top, being re-
fueled by q proud and admiring ground
crew.
Some mothers have put q stop 10
this foolishnesS," as one or two were
unkind enough to describe it, but others
are giving victnal support TO the con-
testantS. These latter mothers, in some
instances, have expressed genuine sym.
pathy with their children'S announced
determination to remain aloft until the
September school bells ring out. They
reason that II their boys are sitting IN

the kitchen linoleum, and this they
are absolutely rigot.
The Gilmore boys, John and Martin.
and the Murphy brothers, Jimmy and
Hugh, saw their tree-sitting attempt
end in catastrophe last night. Their

SAN BERNARDINO, Calf, July IT,
Frankie Foster, Chicago gangster, whom
police had held secretly in the county
Jail here since Tuesday night, was
placed aboard q train for his return
trip to the Illinois city at HAS pm.
last night.
Despite efforts of Edgar Dudley and
John Scherping, Chicago detectives, to
keep secret the whereabouts Of their
prisoner. who is under indictment for
the staying of Alfred Lingle, Chicago
newspaper man, Mrs. Foster stepped out
on the vestibule when they boarded the
train.
You'd like to know how found out
you were going to put Foster on this
train, wouldn't you?" she said to the
officers.
The detectives made two false starts
in an effort to keep every one in the
dark concerning Foster, announcing
first they had put him on an airplane
for the return from Los Angeles and
next that he had started by train earlier
in the day.
They said the secrecy was meant to
throw gangsters off the trail. Gangsters,
they believe, may attempt to kill or kid
nap Foster. Mrs. Foster was arrested
in Los Angeles with her husband, but
later released.

The guests had an opportunity to
see the new flower garden which Mrs.
Hoover has installed with their pro-
fusion of gladioli, candy tuft and other
old-fashioned garden flowers making
riot of color.
The veterans were anxious to see the
White House dogs, but they did not
appear. the only pet in evidence being
a black cat which sat on the shrubbery-
covered railing leading from the Presi-

friend in vain.
Generally aiding to the comfort of
the guests was Mrs. Gertrude Baugh-
man, who wore her Grey Ladies uni
form; Warren Delano Robbins and
Irving H. Hoover, the head usher.
Through the thoughtfulness of the
First Lady, many of the veterans in
the hospitals, who were unable to at
tend the party, enjoyed delicacies SINH
lar to those of the more fortunate ones,
who were able to be there. Mrs. Hoover
sent large quantities of ices, cakes and
sandwiches by special messenger to the
various hospitals.

Sergt. Tom Gushing of Boone, N. c.,
who served in the Air Corps. He ar

infantry. One of the veterans, who
was decorated for gallantry in action In

The beach is a great place to

does give you this chance.
And there's a practical side to
some of these fashions, too,
They're fine to pull on over Your
suit after a swim if you
don't want to be exposed to
sun and air.
AS for the shorts they're
not only going to be used for
beach wear. They're going to
score on many a tennis court
just as they've been doing at
the winter resorts.
The whole idea of these cos
tunes is, of course, to give you

spend many lazy hours in them
just as smartly.
We've had sketched some typi-

The trousers have the side

Annual Polo Ball
Gives Promise of
Much BriLLidnCe

The annual polo ball, to- be
given at the Willard Monday
night, is becoming more or less
of an institution in the official
and social life of the Nations
Capital. Originated by Gen.
John j. Pershing, shortly after
the World War, the polo ball is
one of the most distinctive of
the many brilliant affairs that
mark the Washington season.
The multi-colored uniforms of
the military and naval attaches,
the pink coats from the nearby
hunting fields, and the polo at
tire of the players, provide the
ball with all the elements neces-
sary to make it a colorful spec
tacle of beauty.
Since its inception in 1921,
the polo ball has had for its
purpose the development of polo
in Washington. AS a result of
this support the game has made
great progress in this vicinity.
Each year the public is provided
with high class polo, including
several annual tournaments
with visiting teams. During the
past season over 100,0 900 persons
watched the games at Potomac
Park.
AS is customary, the President
and Vice President head the list
of those supporting the ball as
patrons.
Major and Mrs. j. L. Devers
will entertain a number of
friends at their home in George

Smart Jacket
For Sports
Bv WILMA LA VILE

Jackets are as smart this
year as they've ev been
in fact, smarter. but they're
different. It's true that we've
worn them for many seasons.
but they show no signs OF de-
creasing in popularity, especially
in their new versions.
First of all, they're different
because so many Of them are
belted. That's to be expected
with the return of the waist
line, and the consequent import
ance of belts in every part tf
the mode. Belts give that high
wasted look that is so smart,
and define the figure more than
ever. They may be used in var1-
Gus ways or Jackets, stitched
flat. separate, matching or con-
trasting with the fabric of the
jacket, or they may. be used
only in the back or the front.
Fabrics are more interesting
than they've been before. A
newcomer to the sportswear
world is "vello" cloth, soft and
suede-like, successor to jackets
of chamois or leather. We're
sketching one in the center Of
the accompanying drawing. 1t
is in natural colo. belted, very
tailored, and perfectly correct
for active sports.
The yachting jacket of flan-
mel in red Or navy with brass
buttons is another favorite.
Sketched at the right of the IL
lustration. It's smart not only
to wear for boating, but to
complete any informal sports
costume. Other ( mel jackets
are lelted, o. slightly fitted.
Embroidered linen, printed
pique and other novelty fabrics
are coming in for their share
of popularity, and are summery
and cool in appearance. They
are excellent to top a sleeveless
froCk of cotton or linen, or to
wear with the shirt-waist frock
that is coming into favor. It
is easy to vary your wardrobe
by matching the colors of the
print or embroidery with a
number of frocks. thus getting
extra wear out of your jacket.
The frock on the left of the
dawing is Of embroidered linen.
