Throw your bichloride OF mercury

You wouldn't dream OF drink
ing such strong chemicals, so why
use them on any delicate vital

For personal hygiene, use the
antiseptic that physicians advo-

sitive membranes that you can
actually DRINK it-and many peo-
pie do drink Kojene every day to
overcome bad breath or halitosis.
While so much safer than car

effective for feminine hygiene. No

rate, yet easy to pull down. All you
need to say about his kicking is
that he outbooted Bob Mcnamara

Around these parts it is believed
that Jimmy Crowley of Michigan
State VIII. be the boy to succeed the
ailing Frank Cavanaugh. Also that
Cavanaugh, despite his i'll health,
will move on to Lafayette, with
Hiker Joy, the majors assistant,
replacing Captain John McEwan at
Holy Cross.
Crowley would be popular at
Fordham, just as he'd be popular
at Georgia, Stanford, Slippery
Rock, Long Island Dental, Maine
or wherever he went. For Jimmy
has what it takes to succeed, coach
ing ability and personality. But for
the life of us we can't see how
Fordham can deny Joy the job,
granting, of course, that the Hiker
wants it. For it was Joy, working
under the handicap of not actual
ly being in absolute charge who,
when Cavanaugh was forced to lay
off this year, took hold and brought
Fordham on. 1t would seem only
fair that he be given shot at
running the whole show.

METERS WILL
GOVERN RACES
BY JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The sea-
son of sports meetings is at hand
and already several momentous de-
cisions have been reached. Prob
ably the most important of any
that will have been made is the
A. A. U. adoption of the metric
system for track and field event
measurements.
The long dynasties of 100-yard,
220-yard, quarter-mile, mile, and
other events calling for use of the
English system of measurements
are now at an end. Instead we
will have our 100-meter champs,
and our 1,500-meter stars.
The change will be confusing
except to those track and field
fans and officials who have seen
Olympic game competitions. But
after one season has passed there
should be no serious complications.
The fan should remember that
cne meter is slightly in excess of
one yard. Precisely, one meter
equals 39-37 inches.
Adoption of the metric system
was made with a minimum of diff
ficulty. Although this step had
been advocated for many years,
sufficient objection always had
been brought out to prevent the
change being made. But the A.
a. u, in it's winter meeting, ap-
proved the proposal without dis
senting vote. Automatically the
1. C. A. A. A. A. adopted the met
ric system for it had voted to do
SO when and if the A. A. U. took
the original step.
The matter, probably is settled
for good and all, but hardly had
announcement of the change been
made before an anvil chorus arose.
Many track and field coaches have
objected to the adoption of the
metric system. 1t is unlikely, how
ever, that the A. A. U. will reverse
it's ruling.

HERMAN JOINS
CHICAGO CUBS
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY
United Press staff Corresponder


CHICAGO, Dec. Floyd Caves
tBabe) Herman, eccentric and hard
hitting outfielder, today became
the property of the Chicago Cubs
IN the first step toward bolstering
the 1882 National league champions.
For Herman the Cubs gave the
Cincinnati Reds Outfielders Johnny
Moore and Lance Richbourg, Pit
cher Bob Smith, Catcher Rolle
Hemsley and a bale of cash" as
President William Veeck termed the
financial part of the transaction.
Herman, ranked one of the
greatest hitters in the National
league, is expected to add consider
able strength to the Cubs attack
which dwindled to a whisper in
the world series with the New
York Yankees.
Herman is the first slugg1ng ie5S-
handed hitter the cubs have had
in years. All others, Cuyler, Eng
lish, Stephenson, Hack Wilson i
have hit from the right side of the
plate.
IN getting Herman the Cubs OBJ
tanned the type of player they
needed most. and sacrificed doubt
ful material to obtain him. Bob
Smith, who is nearing 35, won only
four games while losing three last
year. Rollie Hemsley, a brilliant

expectations, was twice suspended !

Not only is Herman expected to

nicely.

Gen. Andrews To
Oppose Bonus

NEW YORK, Oct. 6. = UP) -
Bonus demands by groups of war
veterans were denounced today by
General Lincoln c. Andrews in an
nouncing the merger of the Veter-
ans Committee for Reducing the
Cost of Peace and the National
Economy league for a more effec-
tive fight on the bonus.
General Andrews, chairman of
the Veterans committee, said: ut
will take a lot more evidence than
I have yet seen to convince me that
the rank and file of Americans who
saw service during the World War
really want to become objects of
charity.
"All this bunk about a grateful
nation has been thoughtlessly ac-
cepted by more or less sentiment
al people as a principle of govern
ment while as a matter of cold
fact we know it is largely a fiction
1t is bunk built up by politicians
for their own selfish purposes"
Andrews attacked the American
Legion as a gold digger" He said
many of its members were resign
ing to join other organizations OPP
posing the bonus payment.
