PEEWEE GOLF MEN
 SWARMING RIVIERA

NICE, France, Jan. 15.-Peewee golf is popular along the Riviera, but even so the ratio of devotees to promoters is becoming distorted.
 One paper here, taking the ironic view of a French journalist, de- scribes briefly the situation:
 Even if the regular tourist sea- son is bad there are enough for eigners trying to sell miniature golf outfits to make up the differ ence on the Riviera.

.A ALAN COULD ASSOC1ATEO. .RRESS SRORTS EDtfO0

CLEVELAND has developed a trio of fine all-around young out fielders in Morgan, Averill and Por- ter in the last season or two of the Evans-P -Peckinpaugh regime.
 The big gap left by the flight of Gray Eagle, Iris Speaker, has come nearer to being filled by Ed Nor gan than by any other aspirant for that difficult assignment.
 Speaker is the standard when oenterfielders are under discussion, but the former Tulane university boy has made American league fans sit up and take notice of his yer satility. Morgan may outshine Speaker as slugger for his stick work during the 1880 season in- cluded the collection of AT doubles, Il triples and 26 home runs, ex- ceeding the club record.
 Morgan starred in football as well ns baseball at Tulane. His former coach, Clark Shaughnessy, considers him one of the greatest of college athletic prooucts and a possible successor to Ty Cobb in all-around baseball ability.
 Eddie need not be discouraged even if he falls a trifle below the Cobb or Speaker standard Only 25 years old, Morgan hit for .350 last season, but at that age Cobb was pounding the American league pitching for around APO, meanwhile putting on a combined baseball act that has never been duplicated.
 Morgan wasted little time making the big league grade. He jumped from college to the New Orleans club of the Southern association in 1927 and a year late~ was in Cleve- land uniform.

NEW YORK, February SITS the
gadgets that will take retail stores out
of the red, the National Retail Dry
Goods Association was told yesterday.
There is an opportunity to build a
new industrial giant by publicizing
things that are new forgotten or over
looked in our anxiety to bring the
larger and more obvious goods to the
attention of the public" said Kenneth
Collins, executive vice president Of r.
H. Macy Co.
There are thousands of small CADETS
on our shelves which are never
brought into the spotlight of con-
structive advertising" he said.
He urged the merchants to eliminate
unproductive advertising and remember
that space in daily newspapers still is
the retailers dominant medium.
Probably the greatest sucker list in
existence" was the way Arthur o.
Price sales manager of the Namm
Store in Brooklyn, described depart
ment stores. There is far too much dis
sipatton of department store publicity
dollars in frills and fads, he said.
Newspaper advertising is the back
bone of our publicity structure" he
asserted.

WINCHESTER. Va. February 5.-An
appropriation sufficient TO employ full
time home demonstration agent for Fred

that since Miss Elizabeth Farrar, Fed

could be saved by farmers and their
families in preparation of foods and

They reported an increasing interest
among housewives and school students

ever, reserved definite decision pending
