SEALS BACK IN FASHIONS
 FAVOR AGAIN
By RITA FERRIS

Associated Press Fashion Edit0r)
 PARIS, Oct. 17.-Seal is back in the fashion parade.
 The soft, pliable fur, long lost to fashions favor, returns this year in coats, muffs, trimmings and hats. A rich bronze-brown and black are the colors in which it generally appears.
 Coats Seal Trimmed
 Seal trims appear on many win ter coats One designer displays a black wool coat trimmed with a deep cape collar of black seal, an- other exhibits an olive-green wool coat with a small high collar and cuffs of bronze-brown seal, and a third finishes a gray ensemble with a scarf collar of black seal.
 Both long and three quarter length coats made of the same soft fur are displayed as smart winter wraps. One chic afternoon coat is a three-quarter length model of black seal faced with ermine. An other is full-length model of bronze brown seal collared in fox dyed the same shade.
 A Touch of 1910
 Hip-length seal capes and big seal muffs give a 1910 touch to a number of. winter costumes. The .muffs are much larger than the small melon designs in favor last year. The 1884 model is big pillow huff, often as large as twelve by eighteen inches.
 Little seal toques appear with costumes trimmed in the same fur. They are made on trim lines re- calling a Russian cossack cap and are worn slightly tilted over the right eyebrow.

BALLYHOO ON THE WAIVE

It may be because the world series has captured the popular fancies for the time being or il may be due to some widespread changes in college football policy but so far this Fall there has been less ballyhoo and blast for the campus gridiron heroes or near-heroes than in any season I recall for years.
 This is not to say there is any elimination of activity by the col lege football men. that they are derelict in dispatching the vital statistics. the team dope" and the coming schedules attractiveness to one and all who may be inter ested. There is plenty of material, in other words, but little or no over emphasis" so far on what Red Whoozis or Joe Glutz will do.
 Ere long, Red and Joe may be Hitting places with that pigskin or oval. I do not suspect there will be any shortage of All-Amer- ica nominations, later on, but l have the feeling that the golden era of super promotion, of individ- ual exploitation has definitely passed from the football picture. In short, the proposition is gain- ing headway that it will be plen- ty time enough to sing the praises of Joe and Red, if and when they demonstrate by their performance es on the field that they have all- America stuff in them.

SPORT j SLANTS

The great Carl Hubbell is a NIissourian born, and now an Ok lahoman by adoption, but it devel- ops the southpaw ace first saw the light of day at Maple Grove, Mo, hamlet about IA miles north east of Carthage, which is erron- eously listed as the pitchers birthplace in baseball records.
 To help settle this vital matter for the benefit of all concerned, Fletcher Cupp of the sports desk of the Carthage Evening Press, wrote to Hubbell early this sum- mer and received the following reply;
 q was born somewhere in the rural districts out near Maple Grove. I am sure Carthage was the closest railroad town but don't know whether that was our ad- dress or not" He added that his family moved to Meeker, Okla, his present residence, when he was three years old.
 We regret the fact that we cannot bask in the reflected glory, " adds MT Cupp, although we man. aged to eke some pleasure out of the fact that Carthage was the nearest railroad town to Hubbell's birthplace At any rate th CT are a number of Carthage people who were born and reared in Ma pie Grove and knew the Hubbell family, who are following Carl'S career quite closely"

 Lefty Williams started hurling the Minneapolis game. He let in five runs without getting a man out. All the other Louisville pitch CTS had been worked hard in the St. Paul series, so Southaron turn ed to Marcum and asked how long since he had pitched a game.
 Marcum replied three months" :" but Sothoron believed the game was hopelessly lost and put him in to pitch anyway. The first man up was Henry Cullop, who hooked onto Marcum's first pitch and knocked it into the stands for his second home run of the inning.

there was an almost tctal lack Of en-
barrassment on the part Of inaugural
visitors at the hotels for cash.
"At one small hotel, which, with 200
rooms, had 800 guests during the in
augural period, every bill but Jone was
paid by cash, while the single exception
called for the cashing Of an A. B. A.
travellers check" he declared.
This condition was typical of all the
hotels checked this morning by Mr..
Gumpert. he declared.
He pointed out that the large dele
cations from such centers in the East
as New York and Philadelphia, had
their own disbursing agents who took
care of all financial arrangements for
the trip to the Capital, and with re-
markable foresight, they all brought
cash with which to pay for the accom-
modations of their groups while in the
city.
The scores Of thousands Of persons
who visited in private homes, Of course,
paid no charges for the accommoda-
tions, but a check-up with the 1nau-
gural Housing and Hospitality Commit
tee this morning revealed that practi-
cally all who came to Washington and
secured accommodations through this
agency were well supplied with cash
with which to pay their bills.

MILITARY REGIME

Gen. Plastiras Takes Control When

Slight Majority.

BY the Associated Press.
AIXIENS. Greece, March 6.-Gen.
Plastiras, who was head Of the revolu-
tionary government Of 1922-24, set up
q military government in Greece today.
Yesterdays general election resulted
in a slight majority for the party
headed by former Premier Panayoti
Tsaldaris. Gen. Plastiras asserted that
in his opinion this situation did not
permit of the establishment Of a stable
government.
Thereupon, said the semi-ofiicial
news agency, he announced that he
would establish a military govern
ment to avoid the possibility Of dis
orders"
In a proclamation to the people the
general announced that all meetings
would be forbidden and that any
gatherings in violation Of this order
would be dispersed by force.
Two elections In five months, he de-
clared, proved that the parliamentary
regime is disadvantageous to Greece,
having been unable to furnish stable
government or ito ward of threatening
dangers of anarchy, fratricide and
economic calamity"
Under the military regime, the pro-
clamation asserted, there will be tran
quillity, economic reconstruction and
social consolidation.

POLICEMAN'S BIBLE SAVES DAY
WHEN NEW CABINET TAKES OATH
Charles Baum, White House Guard, Lends Own Volume
to Seekers Of Holy Book

A White House Bible could not be
found during the hurried preparations
for the swearing in Of the new cabinet
in the oval room Of the White House
late Saturday, and what might have
turned out to be a very embarrassing
situation was saved by q policeman Of
the White House force who had one in
his locker.
It was Charles s. Baum, who has
been doing guard duty at the presiden-
tial home since the last year Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's administration, who
was the hero on this particular historic
occasion. When he learned of the pre-
dicament of the White House attaches,
after 0 search of the house for Bible
had been fruitless and the hour was
approaching for the swearing-in cere-
monies, Oficer Baum asked to be ex-
cused from his post Of duty and hur-
ried to his locker In the basement and
returned with his own Bible. There

spent many hours during the long
nights while on guard duty at the
White House reading the holy book.
He was very happy to be Of service on
this occasion and today Is proud Of the
historic use to which his little volume
was put.
The Hoover family took away with
them their own personal Bibles when
they moved out Of the White House,
and although there are known to be
at least two other Bibles belonging to
the White House somewhere In the big
mansion, these could not be found Sat-
urday afternoon.
This situation is not likely to happen
again, that is during the Roosevelt
occupancy of the White House, mas
much as the old Dutch family Bible
Of the Roosevelts, used for the In
augural oath on Saturday, and which
dates back to 1870, was brought to the
