Underwood

Our children OF today are
catered to and considered in
shops as little men and little
women. During these years they
look forward to being older.
The display in Underwood &
Underwood's window this week
suggests TO many the idea of
having your boy photographed
while at this age-for in year
or more he will have outgrown
his boyish attitude.
The different poses are inter-
esting studies made in familiar
surroundings of the home-and
such pictures recall priceless
memories in years to come.
There is no extra charge for
making sitting in the home
but should you prefer a studio
sitting your children win be de-
lighted with a visit to this studio
and quite as natural, because
there is gracious at home" hos
pitality about Underwood's that
makes everyone enjoy his visit
and the skill with which these
famous artists make sittings dis
pells all idea of boresome posing.
Let Underwood & Underwood
make your ohildrens pictures
now.

Sensib|eWayto
Lose Fat

Start taking Kruschen Salts TO-
day-that's the common-sense way
to reduce.
This is what they do-they clean
out the impurities in your blood
by keeping the bowels, kidneys
and liver in splendid working
shape and fill you with q vigor
and tireleSS energy you'd most
forgotten had existed.
AS a result instead of planting your
self in an easy chair every free moment
and letting flabby fat accumulate you
feel an urge for activity that keeps you
moving around doing the things you've
always wanted to do and needed to do
to keep you in good condition.
BE careful of the foods you eat-then
watch the pounds slide off!
Kruschen Salts are the up-to-date
Fountain of Youth. Take one half tea
spoonful in a glass of hot or cold water
tomorrow morning and every morning-
they're tasteless that way. and il they
don't change your whole idea about re-
ducing, go back and get the small price
you paid for them. Get an IS cent bot
tie Of Kruschen Salts-lasts weeks
at Peoples Drug Stores or any progress

LOCO WEED

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 4 (1.N.S0
You may know what makes the
wild cat wild, but not even a
scientist knows what makes the
loco weed loco.
I'VE know the effect Of the
loco weed upon live stock" said
DR.. William G. McGinnies,
range ecOIOgist at the Univer-
sity of Arizona, "but just what
the constituents of the weed
are, we have not been able to
determine. Various hypothesis
have been suggested, but they
have all been proved wrong by
further research.
"A cow or horse which starts
eating loco weed becomes ad-
dicted to the habit as a human
being becomes addicted to NOR
phine or any other dope. Cattle
who are eating the weed will
not stray off by themselves and
it becomes almost impossible to
drive them. They have the
appearance Of poor health, their
coats become rough and their
eyes CLASSY and staring. The
effect is cumulative and if they
are not taken away from the
loco weed territory, they even
tually will die"

MIDDLEBURY, VT, Aug. 4.
Middlebury College is the one
place in New England where no
English may be spoken. Stu
dents here for the summer ses-
sion pledge themselves to con-
verse in no language other than
the one they are studying. The
result is that, so far as the for
eign language students are con-
cerned, the summer term is made
up Of a group Of foreign culture
villages.
The center of French culture is
the College Chateau, distinctly
French from architecture to
menu. on the north end of the
campus. The Spanish settlement
planned in a similar manner is
built around the Casa on the
south part of the campus. The
German school at Bristol, re,
opened this summer, reminds the
Vermont tourist of Bavarian
hamlet.
In all the schools there is
maintained a strictly national at
mosphere. European festivals are
celebrated, and Spanish, French
and German traditions are re
tanned. Evening programs include
plays in the respective foreign
languages, dances, carnivals ano
parties similar to those one
would witness on a conducted
tour of Europe. Only native in
structors are employed, many oi
them being internationally known
in political and educational fields

ROAD DAMAGING
VEHICLES HIT
MRS. BRAY

With an intensive drive against
the use of tractors and other
hard.tired vehicles on the State
roads in Southern Maryland al
ready under way, District Engi-
neer Joseph CLANCY, of the roads
commission, has declared that he
is receiving every consideration
from people transporting such
vehicles over the highways.
Although the matter Is taken
care Of under a legislative act,
it is seldom that farmers and
others using these vehicles have
to be warned against driving
them over hard-surfaced roads,
Mr.. Chaney said.
Under the law, it is a misde'
meanor to drive any vehicle
equipped so as to damage roads.
These vehicles include wagons
trucks, road engines, traction en-
gines. or other vehicles having
metal tires or treads, or vehicles
with wheels equipped with clamps,
spike ribs. or other devices.
The act provides fines rang
ing from $40 to 500 for viola
tions. All fines are turned ovei
tc the commission or other pub
lie authorities in the districts
for road maintenance.

inquiry into the motion-picture

Formal ruling was given by

exists in the industry, and since
combines are illegal. the way is

Connie Mack so far has been TO- tating his four first string pitching choices in this order: Rube Wal berg; George Earnshaw, Hank Mo- Donald and Lefty Grove.
 So far, too, they nave looked good enough to warrant the prediction that if the As fail to repeat it vii net be because of pitching.
 Mcdonald, Earnshaw and Grove ''all have lost close decisions on per- formances that would be put in the winning column five times out of six.
 Mcdonald is the best lookine pitching prospect to bust into the American league since Wesley Fer rell of Cleveland He is only 19, but he handles himself like veteran and has change of pace that is seldom seen in rookie.
 The big sticks of the As, espec- 'ially that of MT. Aloysius Simmons, haven't been rattling the boards in their accustomed manner.
 The As hit 220 as a team in their first week which pretty well tells the story.

Turnstile Music

Baseball has been packing, 'em in most everywhere the big leagues have opened fire, aided and abetted by much early excitement and the finest spring weather the magnatss have been favored with in years.
 New attendance records have been set in a number of the big towns, perhaps in support of the contention of baseball men that when the unemployed have no place else to go they decide to watch the ball games At any rate. business is booming in the big show. Brooklyn's opening ceremon- .ies attracted record outpouring at Ebbets Field despite the dismal start of Uncle Wilbert's Robins.
 On the other hand, some skep- ticism has been manifest concern ing the figures given out in the press box of the Yankee Stadium. It was officially announced the cash customers at the first clash between the Worlds mpi O n Athletics and Yankees on a Sun day, totalled 80,403, but the pay acff to the visiting club was based on a paid attendance of n GOO.
 The stadium was crammed to It's capacity, so far as the most criti- Gal investigator could ascertain. The situation did not seem to call for any padding of the figures, Tor

ELKS DEFEAT MOOSE IN FIRST
 BALL GAME, 9-1
Contest Is Marked by Some Good Pitch ing and
 Scintillating Plays

By score of to l, the Eiks at Recreation Park last evening de- feated the Moose in the first base ball game of the year in Juneau. The contest started the schedule of the Gastineau Amateur League, and notwithstanding cloudy weather that threatened rain, it was wis messed by fairly large crowd.
 The game, which went seven innings, was more interesting than the score indicates. Until the last inning, the Elks had been held to three runs, scattered over as many innings, and the Moose had fail ed to score at all
 Manning, twirling for the Elks, was in mid-season form. He yielded but two hits, struck out eight and vouchsafed no walks. Not until the last inning was there a run made against him.
 P. Schmitz, on the slab of the Moose, kept the hits allowed pret- ty well scattered until the final frame. He weakened then and six runs were garnered from his de- livery. In the course of the game, he famed seven, and walked two.
 Manning lent diversion in the third inning by failing to touch second after having poled out a nice three-bagger. Although he was declared out, he sent in a run ahead of him.
 Smothered High Fly.
 r. Schnitz, second baseman for the Moose, glittered in racing from his position to take high fly on the right field foul line. Andrews, left-handed initial sacker for the Elks, made a nice play by run ming toward the home plate and snagging a low foul with his meat paw.
 The next game scheduled by the League is between the Moose and the Legion tomorrow evening starting 6:30 o'clock.
