MICKEY DOES MATHEMATICS

Mickey Cocfrane wishes his old boss, Connie Mack, lots of luck this year and all that sort of thing but the new manager of the Detroit Tigers can't see how the As are going to figure in the Am erican League race, minus any thing resembling a replacement for his old pal, Lefty Grove.
 Here's the way to figure that situation" says Mickey. 'The As finished third last year. They won 79 games. Grove pitched "A vic- tories for himself and saved ten games. That's a total of 34 games on the winning side for which he deserves all or partial credit. How are you going to replace guy who was nearly 50 per cent of your pitching staff?"

 Tripping a sample of the new pill from hand to hand as he talk ed, Carl harked back to last falls world series for his dissertation on the American league ball, which, by adoption, has become standard equipment for both major leagues.
 It May Annoy Slow Ballers
 "We played three games down at Washington with that ball, you'll remember. and it didn't bother us especially, but so far as throwing it's concerned I couldn't see bit of difference
 Meeker's first citizen has one theory of his own about the new ball, but he can't foresee any ava lanche of base hits or new home run records on it's account.
 For the boys who specialize in sloW-balls," he says, it may make a difference. The seams don't pro- trude as much and there's not the wind resistance to make their float CTS as effective-but they'll get on to it. It'll look about the same to the batter"

WAKE UP YOUR

 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk. don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have e thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
 It takes those good, old CAREERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to geE these two pounds of bile flowing freeiy and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless. gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when 1t comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent .

POLITICAL POT BUBBLES
IN CONGRESS HEIGHTS

Like a national election. the choice
OF officers for the Congress Heights
Citizens Association has become
matter of intense interest long before
Che voters are to cast their ballots:
Although the next election day does
not come until November, 1884, an
announcement by J. Louis Goldman,
former secretary of the organization
and present delegate to the Federation
Of Citizens Associations, has indicated
the battle for control of the group Will
be carried through many preliminary
stages.
Mr.. Goldman. who served for seven
years as secretary of the Congress
Heights group and recently resumed
his position as delegate for the fourth
year, has given notice of his candidacy
FOR the office of president The in
eumbent is Dr. E. E. Richardson.
At the 1888 elections the progress
Sives" presented a complete ticket OF
officers Some of them were elected
and seated, but C. j. Benner, who
headed the slate, was nosed out by
DR.. Richardson for the highest post
Encouraged by the narrow margin
OF their defeat last time, the group is
planning now to launch an early start
on its campaign for next Fall. Their
chief aim is playground for the chill
dren of the Congress Heights section,
but aside from that they insist the
association needs shaking up.

bill TO LEGAL|zE
ALEXANDRIA RACING
DRAWS OPPOSITION
Sixth Ward Citizens Express
Fear of Objectionable
influences.

BY Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, January 81
Although the Sixth Ward Citizens
Association here has taken no action.
a number of its citizens strongly pro-
tested against the bill to legalize horse
racing in Virginia at a meeting of the
citizens body this week.
They claimed race tracks yield an
objectionable influence on communities
in which they are located.
The protested bill was introduced in
the Virginia House Of Delegates by
Delegate Wilbur C. Hall Of Loudoun
County, and it was reported one track
was proposed for the Alexandria Sec
ton.
It was pointed out that If one of the
tracks Is constructed here, it would
have to be located either in or near
the sixth ward. which covers practically
all the sparsely settled area of Alex
andria.
Many members recalled the St Asaph
race track here, which was operated
some rs years ago, in a section Of the
present sixth ward. They pointed out
the evils" attendant upon operation
Of the former track, and protested
against the possibility of their being
brought back
Their protests follow a recent move
Of the Alexandria Chamber of Com
merce to have. one of the proposed race
tracks located in Alexandria if the bill
is adopted by the Virginia Assembly.
The chamber believes the location Of
a track here would better local business
conditions.
In view Of the citizens protests, it
has been pointed out that one of the
provisions OF Delegate Halls bill is
that tracks may be barred from any
location If the majority Of the quail
fed voters Of the location disapprove
of the track at an election. which
may be called by the judge Of the Cir
cult Court upon being petitioned by so
mr. more voters

Two Years Ago.

and Minnesota avenues southeast the
Randle Highlands Citizens Association
faces a second test on the same issue.
The fight is by no means new
one" said Adelbert w. Lee, president
of the Randle Highlands body. Two
years ago the Park and Planning Com
mission withdrew the name LEnfant
and wanted to give the square in front
of Union Station that name" MI. Lee.
who was chairman of the Committee
on Parks and Reservations for the asso-
citation at that time. said his. group
and the D. A. r. protested to the Com
missionerS and the Park and Planning
Commission and the matter was
dropped.
Mr.. Lee said the Park Commission
has already changed the name OF the
square and attached it to the area
fronting the new Commerce Building.
and the name TWining Square has been
assigned to the area over which the
protest is made His association objects
to this because citizens of the COM
munity were not consulted about the
matter, Mr.. Lee declared, and also be-
cause old plats of the territory as lar
back as 1900 identify the area In
question with the name L'Enfant.
Members of the Randle Highlands
Citizens Association are expected to
have a report on the results OF the pro-
tests when they meet at the Benjamin
Orr School Wednesday night.

CLUBS TO PROTECT
PROPERTY SOUGHT
Georgetown Group Has Plan
to Teach School Children
Appreciation.

A curb on the thoughtlessness and
occasional righteousness of children
who deface both public and private
property is being sought by the George
town Citizens Association in sponsor
ing formation of an organization ten
tatively named Citizens Service Clubs,
in the schools of the neighborhood.
The clubs will not be clubs at all
in the usual sense of the word, but
organizations of children pledged to
hold the appearance of their COM
munity at heart.
In recognition and reminder, each
member would be given a small ribbon
or similar token. The movement IS
intended to keep the streets and public
buildings free from trash, obscene
writings. fruit Feelings and the like
and discourage children running
through hedges and breaking down
shrubbery
The idea was suggested at recent
Association by Henry w. Draper, chair
man of its Schools Committee. Mr..
Draper is supervising principal of the
first division of the District public
schools. Twenty-one schools are In
his territory, which stretches from the
White House to Chevy Chase and from
the White House to Glen Echo, taking
in the Georgetown section.
Mr.. Draper said he already has
suggested the club plan at the Curtis
School and intends to drop similar
suggestions when he visits other
schools. He emphasized that the
movement is in the nature OF clean
up campaign. ~
The Georgetown civic group Will
concentrate on the Georgetown schools,
which include the Curtis, the Jackson,
the Fillmore and the Corcoran. In
addition, it intends to foster the move
ment throughout the city.

Will Congress Change
Method of ID. c. Appropriation?

nor months various changes have
Il been suggested for handling
District of Columbia estimates
and appropriations. Chairman
Thomas of the Senate District Of
Columbia Subcommittee on Appro-
priations has taken up with Chair
man Cannon of the similar commit
tee of the House the matter of Joint
hearings and consideration of the
District appropriation bill by the
two committees. So far as is known
no decision has been reached
Others have suggested that juris-
diction of the District appropriation
bill be transferred 20 the Legis-
lative Committees on the District
of Columbia of the two Houses.
In this connection it is contended
that the two District committees
have a greater familiarity with the
needs of the District and therefore
can handle the matter much more
efficiently.
Among our civic bodies there is
practical agreement that there
should be complete separation of
the District budget from the Bu-
reau of the Budget. The Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations at it's
last meeting declared it believes the
budget as approved by the Commits
Sioners should be sent direct to the

tees, to be considered by those COM
