'cil line mustache. But that was
for the Florida clientele, and
that portion of Clearwater's tour
ist trade who came from the
haunts of the HabitantS across
the Northern border.
That was perhaps the outstand-
ing bit of Dodger temper ament
displayed by the Dodgers this year,
but it indicates what may flare
forth at any minute in a sudden
recrudence of the WITNESSES that
made this outfit unique among
ball clubs.
Your agent calls upon Casey
Stengel-Charles Dillon Stengel-
of Kansas City, to deny the ru'
mors. Now Stengel has cut 6 few
capers in his time, and even as
a member of the Giants in the
1923 world series rounded the
bases on a home run, thumbing
his nose at the shocked and panied
Yankees. Stengel, too, fought from
the top floor of a hotel to the
lobby, and the only bruises suf-
fered by either contestant re-
suited not from blows, but from
humping down the flights of stairs.
One Boast
At any rate the Dodgers have
one boast. They have the man
who outhit Joe Di Maggie, the
crack youngster of the New York
Yankees. This kid is Oscar Eek
hart, who hit 1893 on the coast.
Now did I say kid; well, there's
the Dodger influence. Eckhart is
"a come spring, and it is entirely
possible that the Dodgers will keep
him to parade as the boy who out
hit baseballS most famous Di
Maggie.

quaintances with q former foe.

The Dodgers will show one of
the good looking recruits of the
spring in Buddy Hassett, a kid
from New York who showed
plenty of stuff with the New
York Yankees. but he Just begged
down waiting for Lou Gehrig to
develop housemaid's knee or
something of the sort. Hassett
is a fielding sensation and not
a bad hitter.
Even if the Dodgers do show
signs of sanity today. there is
hope. They'll be here tomorrow,
and q leopard must show his
spots sooner or later. The corol.

Brooklyn boys will show their

Washington fandom will learn
the worst today. About the Griff-
men? Not at all. They will learn
the worst about baseball institu-
ton. In unwilling the 1895 Gritt-
men, who have come out Of the
South primed for a running start
for the first division, the oppoSi-
ton will be supplied by the Brook
Ign Dodgers.
Now time there was when the
Dodgers were known as the Daft
ness boys, the Gowanus Gambo-
lers, the Flatbush Futilities and
similar appropriate names. There
was always an inference that men,
tai balance was either totally lack
ing, or somewhat off center at
best. And so today, as we say,
Washington fans will learn the
worst. For if the Dodgers simu-
late sanity, much of the color Of
the game will be lost.
For those who insist upon solid,
irrefutable facts of baseball, it
may be said that Buck Newsom
will start the game for the Griffs,
and that Van Lingle Mungo, the
fastball blazer, will open for the
Dodgers with a half dozen other
fusileers in reserve. Jack Russell
probably will pitch the last three
innings for washington.
Lewis, Others on View
Washington fans will have q
chance to look over Buddy Lewis
in action, and Cecil Travis will
strut his stuff at shortstop. Dee
Miles is a probable starter in left
field, and Jess Hill, the former
Yankee may be moved to center
field.
1t is a good looking team that
will wear the white uniforms of
Washington, and a team that
with an even break in the luck
may throw bombshell into the
American League field. It may
finish fourth with favoring luck.
It may finish sixth if the pitch
ing goes bad.
But for the time being your
agent finds his interest drifting
to the Dodgers and the alleged
imminent return to sanity. Now
there is Frenchy Bordagaray who
insisted in Haunting his Gallo
ancestry in the faces of society,

Western High School.
This is Jimmy's second year
with the team. He wasn't a regu-

Compare your figure with this
progress. If you adopted the sum-
mer program, you should by now
have slimmed down an inch and
half from the Waistline and at
least half inch from the hips
and bust. Or, through exercise,
you may have developed the bust
contour and filled out too-thin
chest while reducing your hips.
Get out your measurement rec
ord and make an August entry.
The pivotal measurements are
chest, bust, WaiStline and hips.
Take the chest first, as this
structural measurement governs
symmetry in the other proportions.
This measurement is taken by
passing the tape under the arms
and above the bust, while the bust
measurement is taken across the
center of the bust. There may be
no significant change in the bust
measurement in so short a time.
However, you should be able to
notice an improvement in the bust
position.
AS the waist is the most MALE
able portion of the figure, its
measurement will show the great
est change. The Waistline may
measure 26, 27, or even % inches,
and you are not in such bad shape!
But if it comes out 80, 33 or "a
inches, your waist is getting un-
manageable. Stretching, bending
and twisting exercises are the best
possible means of slimming down
the excess inches. In no figure
should there be less than 6 inches
difference between the bust and
the waist
The hip measurement should be
taken around the bulkiest portion.
This measurement may read "a,
35 or So inches with symmetry,
but when it goes up in the alarm
ing 40's, you must take exercise
seriously and strenuously.
There are exercises to revise
every one of your measurements,
and, incidentally, you will not only
look better, but you will feel bet
ter for daily exercise. Progress
from the General Set" to those
contained in the leaflet, Exercises
to Stretch the Fat from Waistline,

HOW TO TREAT
IVY POISONING

Ivy poisoning may be caused by
three plants-poison ivy, primrose
or poison oak. The first thing to
do is to puncture with sterile
needle, and drain the blisters. Then
wash the parts thoroughly with a
thick lather of Resinol Soap. AL
ways wash toward the affected
parts, so as not to carry the poison
to the healthy skin.
When there are no more blisters,
apply Resinol Ointment literally,
and protect the part with a light
gauze bandage. Use Resinol morn
ing and night - it relieves itching
and burning promptly, tends to
counteract the poison, and promotes
healing.
Buy a jar of Resinol and a cake
of Resinol Soap from any druggist.
For free sample, write to Resinol,

SETS RECORD

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, Aug. 5.-Building permits for
nearly half million dollars worth
of construction work in Arlington
county were issued from the county
managers office here in July.
Keeping its rapid stride here,
which contractors believe will set
a new all time building record for
Arlington county, permits issued
during July totaled ITO for a total
estimated valuation of $443,703.
These figures we're approx
mately twice those for the pre-
vious month, which registered a
total of 80 building permits to the
tune of $211,388.
Total figures for the first seven
months put the total estimated
valuation of the construction work
done here at $2,525,361.
Plans for two developments in
the county now going forward are
estimated to involve several mil
lions of dollars and will place the
years figure in excess of the year

One of these developments would

You may never look the same

quickly from the face and throat,
but regained weight almost invari-
ably goes to waist and hips. Weight
lost rapidly returns at the same

never recover.
The skin is a flexible covering
which expands and contracts to
adapt itself to weight change. To
allow for contraction, reducing
must be slow. When the efficiency

The maximum reducing speed &C.

your program and is one to two
pounds per week-without a

to lose weight in the face and
throat, one pound week should
be your maximum.
Skin contraction Is a natural
process, and it cannot be haStened.
The more weight you lose, the
greater the difference between
your new weight and the skin
