Is Beauties to
Fly Here For
Personal

Sixteen Of the most beautiful
girls in Hollywood are expected
to visit Washington next month
as one of the stops during a
period of three weeks cruising be-
tween Hollywood and New York
in q huge American Airline pas
senger plane.
The l6 girls are to be chosen
from among the 200 who COM
pose the chorus Of Warner Bros
First Nationals forthcoming pic
ture, Gold Diggers of 1887" Dur
ing the three weeks they will visit
"a of the nations leading cities,
flying by day, sleeping in hotels
at night, although the plane char
tered for them by the producers
is of the sleeper" type. 1t is said
to be the largest land plane ever
built.
For many of the girls the tour
will include a gala homecoming,
since about 90 per cent OF the
Gold Diggers" come from locali-
ties other than Hollywood. Two
washington girls are in the
chorus and hope to be among the
16 to make the trip.
When not otherwise occupied
the 16 girls will make personal
appearances in theaters showing
Gold Diggers Of 1887" This will
include the Earle Theater here.
The exact itinerary has not yet
been definitely determined but the
air tour is scheduled to start about
November Is, bringing the
Gold Diggers" to Washington in
late November or early December
So far as records show, this will
be the first time a theatrical
troupe has toured by airplane.
Busby Berkeley, who staged the
musical numbers for the "Golc
Diggers" film, is now choosing the
girls who will make the trip. Inas
much as each and every one o.
the 200 girls expressed a desire
to be among the l6, Berkeley'S /!
no easy task.
He has established certain Speci
ficationS for the girls to be chosen
Among other things, they must b.
of uniform height and weight
They must be pretty and shapely
Above all, declares Berkeley the!
must be intelligent and able t.
sing and dance.

COON the newspaper boys will be
~ tipping countless columns in the big
time baseball training camps. Wires
that now sob the chill tidings concern
ing the defeat Of another favorite at
HiaIeah will crackIe joyfully with the
red hot news about the deeds OF a
hundred corn-fed youngsters.
Since even the Dodgers or the Phil

If enough Ty Cobbs could be discov-

Then, with true poetic fervor, they

There never was a greater mistake.
Perhaps there has been rookie who
could blush buff so-his name is

For Instance there was younester
who went South with the Giants not
too many seasons ago. He was a red

In New Jersey. Before the train had
reached Manhattan Transfer he had
given out new interviews, considerably
improving on the first performance.
That kept up for night and day.
He confided to the porter that he could

the Orioles took him South he never
had ridden in a car.
After his first ride the idea appealed
to him considerably and so he took
matters into his own hands.
For 5s;~.s after that the veterans In
the camp wondered why the slim kid
who previously had displayed such
marvellous appetite was so late to
breakfast nowadays. Then a reporter
returning to the hotel in the wee hours
discovered the reason.
Babe Ruth had been arising at 3 80
each morning so that he might ride
around town in the rafting old truck
in which the milkman was delivering
his wares.
Another Of Babes quaint ambitions
was to be an elevator operator. One
afternoon he failed to report for prac-
tice. One of the outfieIders glanced
into the bIeachers and saw that the
colored boy who was the regular Gus
todian Of the one-man hotel elevator
seemed to be having an afternoon Of
leisure.
That gave him an idea. There was
an investigation. Sure enough. Back
in the hotel they found the Babe proud
ly operating the elevator.

Jersey Kid Promised
Surprise for McGraw

There also was Jack, broad-backed
youngster who was in Florida with the
Yankees during the days Of their
greater glory.
Jack had considerable ability and
there seemed chance that he might
become a big timer. So the Yankees
who, as usual, were short on reserve
catchers, watched him carefully. They
also listened to him plenty. While the
pitchers were working their arms In
shape he hit balls over all fences and
proudly proclaimed that this was only
weak sample of his true worth.
Finally the situation became a trife
strained. The veteran pitchers were
over tired Of the talk and-probably-
none too well pleased with the numer-
Gus stories that had been wired North.
Since most of them were in shape by
now to start the season they coaxed
Jack into talking his freest one night.
The next morning they met him at the
ball park.
Jack came up to the plate swinging
his bat. Pennock pitched. Jack was
kept at the plate. Shocker pitched.
There was no recess for Jack. Hoyt
took up the pleasant task. Still Jack
stood up there, swung and sweated.
At last, although there were two
or three other pitchers yearning for
they proper reward, the humane Miller
Higgins called halt.
Sixty-five balls had been thrown at
Jack. He had swung 65 frantic times.

rookie mates knew that he could not
throw with either hand and could not
play any place. But he was right about
one thing. Indeed he rather under

He had promised that after one look
at him McGraw would get an eyefuI.
McGraw got it and also seemed to be-

that rookie had one of the shortest

had donned his first uniform he was

A lonely English soldier living on
an island in the Indian ocean wrote
that he wanted wife, saying, 81 have
hazel eyes," nothing else about himself.
Already $50 English girls have offered
to marry him. The 249 disappointed
may find comfort in better marriage,
picking out somebody with blue eyes.
1t annoys many, but it must be said
that practically all the great men in
history had blue or gray eyes, even
men from dark-eyed races, like Ma
poleon from Corsica, Caesar from
Rome.
To save answering questions, here
is short list: Washington, Jefferson,
Lincoln, Roosevelt, Edison, Henry

with men, women, children, on the

Nudism is queer atavistic craving.
The human race began that way in
the Garden of Eden, and each of us
starts out as nudist at birth. The
struggle is to keep clothed thereafter.
