SCHOOLBOyF|VES
STILL ARE ACTIVE
Have 19 TuSsIes Scheduled
This Week-Track Squads
Will Turn Out.

~ ISTRICT schooIboy basket ball
outfits today will begin their
last big week of the season.
Next week there will be an ap-
preciable falling off in the number OF
contests and thereafter only scattering
games will remain.
There's still plenty of interest in the
court game among the scholaStlcs,
though, and many of the l9 games
listed this week promise to produce
worthwhile competition.
This week also will mark the start
of the competitive track season Tor the
scholastics. Central, Eastern and Teen
representatives will show their wares in
the Meadowbrook games Saturday IN
Philadelphia.
OUTSTANDING among the court
~ tilts are the encounters between
Eastern, public high school cham
pion. and Catholic U. freshmen and
Tech and George washington yearllngs,
both to be played Wednesday at c. U.
and Tech. respectively. The Gonzaga-
St. Johns game, to be played trloay
night at o'clock is another high spot.
These old rivals usually manage to put
on an interesting show. regardless OF
the sport. A game between Tech ana
the Charlottesville fiveS at Tech Saturz
day is another match of more than
usual appeal.
Central and Catholic University fresh
men will come to grips at c. U. IN the
chief attraction today. Other con-
tests are scheduled between Georgetown
Prep and Landon at the Epiphany
Church gymnasium and Hyattsvllle
High and GonZaga at GonZaga.
A clash between St Johns and Alex
andria High on the st. Johns court at
8 o'clock looms as the best on tomor-
rows card. Afternoon games are slated
between Dewitt and Eastern at East
ern, Western and Wilson Teachers Col
lege on the latter'S court and George
town Prep and Maryland School for the
Deaf at Georgetown Prep.
A SIDE from the Eastern-C. U. fresh
II men and the Tech-G. w. yearling
contests Wednesdays schedule
calls for clashes between Landon and
st. Albans at ST. Adams, Dewitt and
Gonzaga at Gonzaga and Georgetown
at Silver Spring.
Thursday, generally lean day for
scholaStics. is no exception this week.
Western is to meet Bethesda Chevy
Chase High at Western in the one game
listed.
The Gonzaga st. Johns game is the
only one carded here Friday. ST. Al
bans is to go down to Orange, Va, for
a brush with Woodberry Forest, and
Georgetown Prep has an engagement
with Mount st. Joseph's of Baltimore
at Garrett Park.
WHILE Tech is entertaining Char
w lottesville fives Saturday, Business
will be enjoying its annual trip
to Greenbrier. w. Va. to meet the
Greenbrier Military Academy qulnt.
Central probably will have half
dozen or so boys in the Meadowbrook
games, but Eastern and Tech plan to
have only two or three each in the
competition.

Damaged Axle on Car May
Prove Costly If Not
Repaired Quickly.

A good pair of tires should last
a long time under present road con-
ditions and should be worn down
smoothly. Whenever they begin to
pit or wear in irregular patches or
on one side; it is probable that the
wheels are not in alignment-and
the motorist either will pay for the
trouble in the wear on the tires or
IN having it repaired.
There is considerable danger in
a Wabbling wheel. 1t i~nterfereS
with the steering. The very time
when the driver may need all the
skill he has to avoid hitting some
thing is the very time that the
Wabble will be the most pronounced.
1t really is not a serious mat
ter to have this corrected. Either
the wheel is out of alignment or the
axle is bent, and neither of these
is beyond remedying.
In fact, at the c. Off 81 Co. shop,
LOT North East street, axles are
Strengthened at low cost quickly and
satisfactorily on machines designed
for this purpose but a cold process
that does not affect the temper of
the metal.
This company has been in bust
ness in indianapolis more than half
a century. In addition to work on
aXleS it cares for all sheet metal
troubles as we'll, including the repair
of tenders, bodies and radiators,
and offers a towing service during
working hours.
G. Off & Co. maintains q staff of
experts in sheet metal work of all
kinds. A department of the bust
ness repairs roofs, cutters and
downSpouts, and does other sheet
metal work.
Automotive work has claimed a
large part of the firms attention
since the inception of the industry,
as it started making hoods, tenders
and gas tanks many years ago.
The wheel and axle aligning fea-
lures were added in response to a
popular demand, and no shop in the
city is better equipped for this class
of work.
William M Off is president and
A. H. Off is secretary Of the COM
pany.

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS
SHANK OFFERS
CLEAN STORAGE
FOR FURNITURE
Every Protection Possible
Provided for Patrons in
Big Warehouse.

Good furniture deserves a better
fate, when it is not in use, than
being stored in a dirty loft or attic,
where dust and moths have access
to it.
There is a wey to take care Of
these pieces properly, protecting
them against any damages, and
that way has been adopted and
worked out to greater usefulness by
the Shank Fireproof Warehouse
Company, 1870 North Illinois street.
1t largely is a matter Of cleanli-
ness, but that cleanliness can not
be secured unless the building is
adapted especially to the purpose.
This has been done in the Shank
establishment, where the building
was erected for storage purposes,
and where every advantage has
been utilized in making storage safe.
Cleanliness is sanitation. A sani-
tary establishment of necessity is a
clean one. It is secured by what
in a home would be called good
housekeeping, aided by special fu-
migation methods the home seldom
can have. So in the Shank estab-
lishment good housekeeping is the
rule, assured by the fact a woman
is at the head of the business

sition, the doors of both vaults hay
ing the added tear gas burglary
protection, 7 among the provi-
sions.
Special storage rooms, kept at an
even heat all the time, protect pi-
amos and other articles affected by
changes of temperature.
In the forwarding department the
company has the services of many
trucks, through their agency, the
Allied Van Lines, Inc, for very long
hauls, shorter hauls being taken
care of by their own trucks.
Goods are shipped to any part
of the United States, even being
sent by airplane when necessary.
A branch Office is maintained at
1874 Rue Championnet, Paris, for
the accommodation of Americans
travelling in Europe, from which
shipment will be sent anywhere in
the world.
Unnecessary luggage is stored in
the Paris Office, which also acts as
a receiving depot for any purchases
made abroad.

HIGHER UTILITY RATES
VOTED BY COMMISSION
East Chicago Pleas Ignored After
Leslie VetOes Municipal Bill.

Having previously refused to per-
nit the Northern Indiana Public
Service Company to supply the
Calumet district with higher heat
unit gas at increased rates, public
service commissioners today were on
record as having succumbed to
company demands.
At the Friday afternoon con-
ference the new rates were voted
and the plea of the East Chicago
city council against them was
ignored.
Refusal Of the city demands in
favor of the utility company fol-
lowed closely Governor Harry G.
Leslie's veto of the special session
bill which would give cities the con-
troll of local utilities through
municipal ownership, without pub
lie service commission dictation.
