Lighting Great
 Aid To Sales
Westinghouse Expert Tells Service Clubs Value of Cor
 rect Attractiveness in Windows

Speaking at a Chamber of Com- merce meeting, at which were pres- ent members of the Lions club, the quota club and the Merchants Bu- reau, at the Hotel Elton this noon, J. r. O'Brien, manager of Advertts- ing and Sales Promotion Depart ment, Westinghouse Lamp Com- pany, New York city, said Retail show windows are worth 50 to 75 per cent of store rental cost in ad- vertising. Bright lights in these windows will advertise your store and bring bigger returns in sales"
 MT O'Brien's talk, Making Store Buyers out of Window Shoppers" was illustrated with slides. It is the same talk he has been presenting to groups of electrical men in collab- oration with Chambers of Com merce in a number of cities through out the state. Every phase of win dow decorating was explained, in- cluding the use of colored materials and color lighting.
 Elaborating on the value of win dow display to the gross business of the retail merchant, MT O'Brien said: Because the show window attaracts pedestrians and induces them to enter the store, resulting in actual sales. it represents a large per cent of the store rental cost in value to the business. The head of large national chain store system
 recently estimated that his show windows represented from 50 to 70 per cent of the rental cost of each store."
 That the retail merchant must use his complete repertoire of selling methods to overcome sales resist
 ance of the buying public is evil denced by MT O'Brien's statement relative to the time required for a pedestrian to pass the average store. He said: Careful investigation shows that it requires a pedestrian
 only seven seconds to pass by the
 average store show window. In that | short interval. the window display must catch his attention hold if

 said: "In planning your advertisS ing and merchandising programs dos
 not overlook the most importantz
 medium that you have at your disS~ posal = your local newspapers. The
 newspapers are your closest contacts with the consumer and vou should always plan newspaper advertising campaigns to tie-in with the manu~s lecturers national advertising. N0r advertising or promotion program is

 The defendant is charged with negligence in that he failed to keep his car under control, had defective lights, was operating in a reckless and careless manner and failed to stop in time to avoid the collision The P. F. Collier & Son Distributing Corp is named co-defendant in that Gessert was acting in the capacity of agent for the publishing company at the time of the mishap.

After much discussion, it was de- cided to submit the bill in skeleton form and then after a future meet ing, amplify it as to the proposed activity.
 The state allows $4 a week to a hosiptal for the care of a state case evec though it actually costs the hospital more than that amount daily.
 The total appropriation divided among the hospitals is about $300,- coo and there is need of consider able more money.
 The St Francis hospital in Hart ford. for instance. had about 135 such cases last year, which gives an idea of the amount of money ex- pended in the care of these indivi- duals.

Takers have Aourished in their appeals to the over-fat. Not many remain. Some of their methods were harmful, some ab- surd. All have perished quickly in the test.
 One reason is that medical science has found a great cause of excess fat. It lies in lacking gland secretion which must be supplied. Doctors the world over now supply it, and excess fat in late years has been going fast.
 A world-famous medical laboratory em- bodies this factor in Marmola prescrip- tion tablets. Not to oppose doctors, but to supply their best help in a very eco nomical way. Thus Marmola opens this right way to millions who might other wise go wrong.
 Marmola has been used for "A years millions of boxes of it. The use has grown and grown, while the frauds disappeared by the scores. Now in every circle you can see the results. Your own friends can recite them. Slender figures are the vogue.
 Marmola, in every box, gives the formula complete. It also tells you why the fat goes, why new vim appears.
 If you have been enticet by fakes, by silly claims, go now and use wh t doctors use. Combat your fat in the right and scientific way. Gain normal figure, normal vim in Natures way. Then tell your friends about it-they should know Go now and order a Sl box from your druggist. Read the book, watch the many good results.

Earnshaw, in two world series. has
pitched five games against the Car

he held them to two hits in seven
innings before giving way to a pinch

for the victory as a result Of homer
by Jimmy Foxx in the ninth.
Earnshaw has BANKED the Cardinals

against them. He set them down score

and he has run on 10 scoreless in

yielded only four runs In as many scat

famed 80 Red Birds.
It's a mervelous record, surpassed for
single series only by the superb col

MathewSon in 1905 against the Ath-
letics.
Earnshaw didn't bear down in earnest.

keeping the AS from being routed was
put upon his tall, broad frame. Maybe
it was the old college fight" that re-
vived Earnshaw's effectiveness. He is
tanned, but looks collegiate, going
around without a hat and his hair
parted in the middle. Before the series
he remarked to his friend and former
pitching champion. Stan Baumgartner:
After what did last year anything
I do in the future will be an anti
climax. I haven't the same enthusiasm
and ambition to pitch this year I had
last. 1 can honestly say the additional
money, the difference between the win
ners' and losers share, doesn't arouse
my enthusiasm.
Ambition isn't q matter Of dollars
and cents. What is there for me to do
now-after last year?"
Connie Mack furnished the answer
when he said after the third game:

handler has another goal.

n YEW YORK, October Benny
Leonard has started his come
back program with a knock
cut victory over Pal Silvers Of
Brooklyn with the jeers of a crowd
Of Is 900 as the principal accompani-
ment. Leonard floored Silvers in the
second round of their 10-round bout
in the Greensboro Stadium last night
and Silvers stayed down for the full
count. although most experts at the
ringside thought the bldws were any
thing but hard At the count of 10,
Silvers bounced to his feet, apparently
unhurt and ready to continue. Referee
Arthur Donovan waved him to his cor
ner and lifted Leonardr hand as the
Benny, bit plump around the
waistline, showed the effects of his
seven-year lay-off from the ring. The
undefeated lightweight champion ap-
peared stage struck" in the first
round and the sudden ending of the
bout in the second round made it i'm
possible to deduce just what chance
Leonard has of winning the middle
weight title, the goal on which he says
his eyes are fixed.
There were a few cheers when the
referee lifted Leonard's hand. but these
were drowned in storm of boos from
a major portion Of the capacity
crowd
Leonard took the match with Silvers
last week after the New York State
Athletic Commission had declined to
sanction a bout between Leonard and
Paulie Walker until Benny first proved
his ability in smaller arena.

stimulating effect he has on the other
players.
His stimulus yesterday consisted Of
beautiful double in the dying moments
of the game. That Gabby Street is fully
aware Of the Peppers power to start
something was proven when, after
Martin doubled, he shot in another
pitcher in an effort to kindle the sparks
tossed among the Cards by tho Okla

'"D'o fou think that George Earn
shaw's great pitching feat yesterday
is the talk of the moment in the hotel
Hobbies here? Or Foxx's homer and
the return of the champions batting
power?
Not for 2 to 1. It's the Pepper box.
The boys who follow the series from
year to year have not seen anything
like It q long while. And yet-and
here Is a kick-they argue that the
remarkable as are the world cham
pions 80 poorly protected against
speed.
Those Red Birds, even in defeat, are
making the Athletics look terribly
slow. Always figured a truck-moving
base ball machine. the charge stands
out well backed up when the Cards
put on little speed on the bags. The
Athletics are champs, but they are not
the customers style of leaders on the
bases. OF course, 1t Is not hard to see
why the Athletics need not be smart
on the hasSocks. Why worry about
the next base, they contend, when a
batter will send you down there in a
hurry. But If Connie popped his men
up on the bags he would have not only
wonderful machine-like champion,
but colorfui leader.
Gabby's Cards were no bargain to
look at yesterday, however, other than
Martins flash and a few other Spurts.
They were not hitting, and It proved
that, no matter how colorful a club
may be, when Il lacks hitting IL Is
down on the same plane with any other
outfit not getting its blows.
With the battle of the dough bag
now standing at 2-all, the fifth game
today is being figured to belong to
Connie Mack. In taking over the
Reds yesterday the Athletics are be-
lieved to have regained that lost COM
posture picked up in the third fracas.
And 1t is possible that more effort will
be made to put the damper upon Mar
tins activities.
But no matter who takes this series,
Martin Is already nominated as the
bright light OF the affair.

stolen base. He had the entire Ath-
letic team dizzy bluff1ng steal Of second
after his single. Then he stole, arriT-
ing on his stomach.
Connie Mack said he didn't expect
Pepper to steal when he did.
Martin now has four stolen bases for
the series. Hafey and Frisch have one
each. Last year the Cardinals stole
total of no bases.
Jimmie Foxx, after trying the whole
series to duplicate his 1880 series homer,
parked one in the sixth. 1t was one of
the longest drives IN Shibe Park history
and the longest of any world series
there. 1t cleared the two-decker bleach
ers by many feet.
Jackie Flowers, Cardinal reserve third
baseman. was hurt in infeld practice.
but started the game anyway. He hit

WHITE SOX BUOyED
BY CITY TRIUMPH
Victory Over Cubs Removes
Curse From Poor Season.
Bush May Stay.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
H1CAGO. October 7.-Donie
Bush and his luckless White
SoX. who were kicked around
numerically by the American
League clubs last season, had their big
day at last today.
They were Chicago City champions
for the first time in five years, their
pockets were lined with the big end of
the players purse, and they had big
time joshing club followers by wishing
they played in the National League in
stead OF the American. Bush had
something more to be happy about as
1t was generally believed he might
after all be rehired as manager of the
team for 1892.
A noisy 6-run rally in the fourth
inning, backed by AL Thomas four-hit
pitching. gave the White Sox 7-to-2
victory in the seventh and final game
Of the long series at Wrigley Field yes
terday. The third-place holders in the
1891 National League race didn't have
a chance after that and the White Sox
fans cheered so much that they almost
lost their voices.
Throughout the seven games, the cell
lar occupants of the American League
played by far the better base ball. They
scored So runs to II by the Cubs and
their pitchers turned in several beauti
full hurting performances. While the
Cubs won their three games by the mar
gin of one run, the White Sox captured
their victories by margins OF 9 to 0, 4
to 3, IS to 6, and to 2. Manager
Bush used only four pitches-Faber
Thomas, Lyons and Frasier-while the
Cubs employed IL.
Before the series opened, it was the
general opinion in Chicago base ball
circles that Bush was definitely through
as manager of the team. But his d.
rection in the city series was so capable
that he was regarded as certain to
manage the team in 1882. His two
year contract expired at the end of
yesterdays game.
The official, total attendance for the
series was 137.45l, with receipts at
$152,124.50. The players share was
$37, 108.l0: clubs share, 92,197.70, and
the commissioners share, $13,677.3o.
