as any papoose This arrangement was satis-
factory enough, except when Phoebe acci-
dentally turned on the cold water faucet a.
she rolled over.
YESTERDAY the painters folded their lad
] ders and departed by way of the fire es-
cape, leaving us marooned in sea of varnish.
With all our household goods stacked in one
spot and ourselves clinging to the top of the
heap the scene is reminiscent of that old
Biblical engraving entitled 1.-THE Deluge" ''Be
it ever so huddled,' sighs Phoebe, there's no
space at home"
Last night just after sundown I made
tentative excursion across the painted desert.
Before setting out however took the pre-
caution of looping one end of the cord of my
bathrobe around my wrist and giving Phoebe
the other end to hold And it was well that
did, for by the time had taken three steps
across the glistening wastes I was stuck tight,
heel and toe-as much a fixture of the room
as the gilded radiator in the corner. I could
teeter from side to side little, and rock back
and forth. But I could not change my status
quo by fraction of an inch.
Man is surely adaptable animal" OBJ
served Phoebe grimly as she surveyed me.
Here we've been in our new home less than
"a hours and you're attached to the place

Bracing herself, Phoebe took fresh grip on
the cord. Then with a mighty heave she
yanked me free, and before you could say
"Alley-oop!" I landed sprawlng on the pile
of furniture beside her
But my shoes remained where had left
them, in the middle Of the next room. They
are still there. This morning I ventured out
to retrieve them. The varnish had hardened
sufficiently to enable me to cross it, and I
found that by walking on tiptoe in a quick,

put both feet on the floor at the same time.

Az shoes, however seem destined to be-

home. The varnish has caught them and held
them. like flies in amber, for all time. No
doubt they give the place a charming per-
sonal touch, and they may have considerable
historic value for the archeologists Of the
future Yet I can't help wishing they were
elsewhere. We had planned to use, that room
as a dining ROOM
BY the middle Of the week the floors should
be dry enough to permit us to move the fur
niture into the east and west wings, but
Phoebe and I have decided to leave it just
where it is. After two days and two nights in
the gizzard we have grown quite accustomed
to our vestibule environment. Besides we'll
be moving out again soon, and it will be a
distinct advantage to have everything stacked
up near the door so that we can get head

The world do move; I'll say it do. And even
the planets are victims of the cosnlc turn

the astrologist, has just informed me that
Jupiter is moving into the house of Libra to-
day. Where Libra is moving is none Of our
affair. But to jumping Jupiter we extend our
heartfelt sympathy especially If he intends

BY several days, leaving vacancies behind
them These vacancies are filled Immediately
By their successors, who. in turn, leave more
vacancies Thus the great wheel Of humanity
and household goods begins to revolve. and by
the first Of October it is whirling madly.
Phoebe and I moved day before yesterday.
We are still moving, but the motion is not
apparent to the naked eye. You'd have to
hold mirror to our lips to make sure that the
breath of life is still in us. And you'd have
to furnish your own mirror; ours is under the
piano. impersonating a jig-saw puzzle.
We were obliged to move prematurely be-
cause the people who had rented our apart
ment were literally treading on our heels.
So we "opened cold" in our new home, with
out even dress rehearsalEand the S. r. o.
sign has been on the house ever since.
When we arrived the painters were still at
work ON the east wing. They had just finished
the west wing. There was no place for us
but the gizzard which consisted Of the bath
room, the hallway and the clothes closet. BY
removing the chandelier in the hall we were
able to pie our furniture clear up to the
ce1ling. That night Phoebe made sort of
oqlach tp the bath room by filling the tub with
sofa pillows and I hung myself up on hook
in the clothes closet, where slept as soundly

MAGNATE HOLDS UP
 CONTRACTS, HOLDS
 DOWN ON HOLDOUTS

TUSLA, Okla, Eco. 24.--Offic- ials of the Tulsa baseball club, new member of the Texas League, have worked out a system for hold ing holdouts to a minimum.
 Instead of mailing contracts to players early in the year, leaving ample time for prolonged argu- ments and wrangles before the baseball season opens, they delay things until sometime in March
 T can't see any reason for sending out contracts and getting into lot of unnecessary cores pondence with ball players" said Don Stewart, secretary.
 When the time comes, we of fer our players what we think we can pay them and what they're worth We don't look for any ser ious holdouts."

iron. Cool's secret ambition was to score a touchdown for Cornell before his varsity career was over and it was Barrett who finally gratified this desire in a game against Virginia Polytechnic in 1915, a week after Cornell had defeated Harvard, 10-0, for the eastern championship
 As Bill Waters relays the story to me:
 Early in the second half, Cool intercepted a forward pass well in the opponents territory. Three plays took the ball to the 4-yard line. Here Barrett decided to gratify Cool's ambition to score a touchdown.
 Cool was called back, Barrett took an end position, and An derson passed the ball. In two plunges, Cool went over the line, and the stands gave him cheer.

FINAL GAME OF
 TITLE PLAY. IS SET FOR TODAY
Bremen and George Broth CTS Elves Play De-
 ciding Game

The Senior basketball champion ship of Gastineau Channel will be decided tonight in the High School gym when the Fire Depart ment and George Brothers quin- tets meet in the third and final game of the playoff series. Each team has won game.
 In the curtain-raiser, the Super Us of the High School will take on the United Meat five of the Channel circuit. It will start at 7:30 o'clock
 The two senior teams fighting it out for the cage crown of the cir cult are well-balanced and evenly matched aggregations composed of experienced players. In the first two games, the final outcome was in doubt until the last few seconds of play. Each of the two games kept the fans on edge and pro- duced some of the finest basketball displayed here in several seasons Both teams are in first class condition without an absent man from their lineups. The game is expected to be more hotly contest ed than either of the first two.
 A plea in the interest of good sportsmanship on the part of bas- ketball fans was voiced by Robert s. Raven, President of the League, today.
 There has been too much side line refereeing in recent games" declared MT. Raven. Cheering and roofing by the spectators have their place, and in view of the class of ball being played, espec- ially in this series, one cannot blame the fans for their enthus- iasm. But there are limits to partisanship, and booing from the side lines must stop.
 "Refereeing a basketball game is not an easy job and the offic- ials cannot observe every infrac- tion of the rules and call them all right. But they are trying to be fair and impartial and certainly their task is not eased by a con- stant barrage of criticism and razz- ing from the crowd. Let's be fair and give the hard working offic- ials break"

SPORT SIuANTS lA A9a oea1l

On the basis of the sweeping shake-up they have affected this winter, the St. Louis Cardinals will put some of the strangest contrasts on the major league ball fields this season that the boys have inspected for a long time.
 Whether it pays any dividends in gate receipts or in the standing of the clubs remains to be seen, but the Red Birds will exhibit the following at one and the same time:
 Dazzy Vance, erstwhile king of the speedball pitchers, and the youthful heir-apparent, Dizzy Dean and an infield including Frankie Frisch, long the defensive peer of the second basemen, and the man with whom he figured in one of baseballs greatest deals, Rogers Hornsby; a deflated hero of the National Leagues only world ser ies victory in six years, Pepper Martin, trying a bit desperately to regain position as a regular anywhere in the lineup.
 There are two former managers of the club on the roster, Hornsby and Bob OFarrell, the old back stop, to make things interesting for Gabby Street. If there is any, thing else lacking. to furnish color and confusion for the old sergeant, he may be able to find it readily when he calls the roll of talent to be assembled within the next few weeks at Bradenton, Florida

CoOL's LONE TOUCHDOWN

Ithacans knew the story well, but since the untimely death of William Cameron QGib) Cool, it's interesting to recall the lone touch down credited to Cornelps great center during his three years of gridiron warfare in 1913, 1914 and 1915 with the Big Red teams that were coached by Dr. Al. Sharpe
 For his weight and inches, Cool was one of the finest pivotmen in football history. He yielded to Bob Peck of Pittsburgh in Walter Camps estimation when All-Amer- ica selections were made in 1915, but there were many critics who disagreed. Camp did put Murray Shelton, end, and Charles Barrett, quarterback, Cool's teammates, on the 1915 All-America.

Bad breath is no pleasure In
winter time. It 10 simply an inn
possible handicap in summer!
There are almost as many rea-
sons for bad breath as there are
people who have 1t. Upset stom-
achs or chronic digestive trouble
is the basis Of the most persist
ent bad breath. This type. actually
calls for a physician's care. Per-
haps you need an entire change Of
diet and regime. Why not get 1t
attended to right now?
Some bad breath comes from a
feverish state silly folks get into
when they CAD too much. Sleep
helps this type. And it's about all
that will help 1t.
other bad breath comes from
badly cared for teeth. You may
not see a decayed tooth nor may
you feel 1t. But your breath gives
away the fact that there's some-
thing the matter and you should
see a doctor.
Hard as it is to believe, in this
enlightened age, there still are
women who do not brush their
teeth. Naturally, bad breath en-
sues.
For the majority Of women who
care about personel grooming.
Just a little caution about summer
teeth care is all that is needed.
Keep brush in your office. Brush
your teeth after lunch and rinse
your mouth with a good rinse.
Salt ID q good once-a-week gum
and tooth aid. Just pour some
onto your toothbrush and scrub
your teeth hard with 1t. Soda, a
teaspoonful in a glass of water,
n an excellent mouth wash. And
IL you really care for your mouth
health, gargle mornings, either
with salt water or soda water, or
some good mouth wash.
