The all!time all-America value
in sports is being offered by the
washington Baseball Club on July
z. The entire bleacher sector, ex-
tending northward from the fence
to the left field foul line, is scaled
at S. cents, and every seat Is re-
served. You. can get into the
stands ct / o'clock or earlier: start
ing time win be announced after
the meeting Of the major league
advisory committee tomorrow.
Setting the bleacher price at IS
cents was Clark G. Griffith's idea.
The Old Fox has commended that
this all-Star game was the fans
game, and that it should be kept
within the price range Of the
men who are out there every day,
keeping baseball alive. From SIS
cents the prices go to $1.6S. There
is no tipping the ante to q point
where the game becomes q luxury.
washington, it may be said, Is
going for the all-star game on an
allstar basis. There won't be 3d.
900 seats available, but there
won't be any left in a couple Of
days If the letters keep pouring IN
as they've been pouring in lately.
Ed Eynon, secretary of the Wash
ington Club, estimates that more
than $4,000 applications have
been received up to date.
at Is gratifying the way re.
quests have poured in," said
Griff today as he checked over
the boxes. "But the headache
will come later. The Out-Of.tOwn
fans have not started demand.
ing their tickets, and when they
do we're going to have our troT-
bleS. It IL too bad that we Just
can't get . park 30 big that We
could accommodate everybody
without any trouble"
Walt Miles made q great block
Of the plate when he stopped Pete
Fox from scoring in the first in
ming. dreenberg whitfield as the
Tigers put on q double steal.
Travis returned Miles throw to
the catcher, who made q great
block Of Fox and stopped q run.
You may live to see q better
catch than the one Al Simmons
made on Gerry Walker IN the fifth
inning. But II you do. you'll be
lucky.
Simmons turned and ran TO the
barrier, risking injury to make q
play. This, with his catch on Ro-
gen In the eighth on Sunday, must
have made Mickey Cochrane won4
der about releasing AL to Wash
Ington. .--...

was decided yesterday.
Pete Fox made q great catch Of

winter.-nuw get out in the sun
shine in your spare time, and that
will be variety in itself. 1t doesn't
make much difference whether yOB
merely go out for walks, or wheth-
er you develop outdoor sports, OF
what sort of outdoor activity It is,
even working in a garden in the
fresh air will give you better ap-
petite. make you sleep better. and
make you feel better.
A change in your diet will make
a great deal of difference, too.
After all, we get tired of eating the
same old winter foods for months
at time. Make sure that you eat
plenty of the summer vegetables
and fruits as soon as they are on
the market, and your meals will be-
come more interesting.
And, of course. there's nothing
like new clothes to make life more
enjoyable. Even If you can't af-
ford to buy a whole new summer
wardrobe. it's fun to select a few
attractive dresses, and to fix up
the old ones so they'll look new.
Get out that old sweater and dye
it a new color. You can even feel
more dressed up by putting a diff.
ferent color band on your hat, or
wearing a gaily-colored handker-
chief or scarf.
Maybe these things all sound
small and unimp0rtant. not half as
exciting as trip or a new job.
But it's surprising how much differ
ence the little things make. Even
If you don't do anything but dye
an old pair Of shoes some newer,
fashionable color. you'll start feel
ing happier the minute you put
them on. After all, life is only a
big collection of those little things.

BOYS AND GIRLS TO |
HAVE CERTIFICATES.
None Under Is Can Work

Raleigh, May 22-Effective July 1,
all boys and girls under IS years of
age who are regularly employed must
obtain certificates from the county
welfare officers and the State Depart
ment of Labor and no employers will
be permitted to employ any minors
under 18 years of age unless they
have obtained such certificates, it was
pointed out here today by Commits
sioner of Labor A. L. Fletcher.
Under the present State child Ia
Dor law, certificates are required only
of children working regularly who are
under 16 years Of age. But the 1897
General Assembly changed the law so
that beginning July 1, the age limit
would be Is years, Commissioner
Fletcher pointed out. The enforce
ment of the new child labor law is
placed under the supervision of the
State labor department, where it has
been in the past
In order that boys and girls 16 and
IL years old who are now employed
and who want to continue working,
may obtain their certificates and con-
tinue at work without interruption,
the necessary forms and blanks for
getting the required certificates will
be in the hands of all county super
intendents of public welfare by June
Is, Commissioner Fletcher announced
and can be obtained from them upon
application. The certificates must be
obtained or at least applications made
for the certificates before July 1.
This new law also prohibits the en-
ployment of any children under 16
years Of age in any full-time manufac-
turing jobs after July 1, although the
old law permitted the employment of
children between the ages of IA and
16, if they were properly certified by
the Department of Labor and the
county superintendent of public wei
fare.

table dictator in his home division, it
is pointed out The chairman of the
State Highway Commission would
then become little more than Eyes
man" for the ten division commits
sioners, to act as a referee if the
commissioner holds the expenditures
within his district to the amount
budgeted. 1t would have the effect
of reducing the position of highway
chairman from one of the most i'm
pOrtant executive posts in the State
to little more than that of an exalted
bookkeeper at a salary of $500 a
year, many maintain. Already it has
been decided that both the mainten-
ance and construction funds will be
allotted to the various divisions on
the basis of the area, population and
road mileage in the various divisions,
with the exception that the automo-
bile registration will also be consid-
cred in the allotment of maintenance
funds.
The duty of the highway commits
sion, however, is to build highways,
rather than to build political fences or
provide pie counters for the county
rings" The highway commission in
North Carolina has always enjoyed a
reputation for having been operated
without any graft and with a mini
mum of politics, and for the benefit
of the people of the State as a whole
rather than for any small or interest
ed groups It was because of the po-
litics involved in the old county high
way commissions and the correspond
ing high cost of these commissions.
that the 1929 General Assembly, at
the insistence of Governor o. Max
Gardner, placed county as we'll as
State roads under the State Highway
Commission, and changed the high
way commission from the old district
to a Statewide basis. It was because
of politics, extravaganza and ineffici-
ency in the county operation of prison
camps that caused the 1893 General
Assembly, at the request of Governor
j. G.. b. Ehringhaus, to consolidate
the county prison systems with the
State Prison set-up and place them all
under the administration and super
vision of the State Highway and Pub
lie work commission.
The 1887 General Assembly was
will ing to go along with Governor
Clyde r. Hoey in changing the high
way commissi ion back to the district
plan for the hearings of delegations,
requests for new road and of COM
plants But it is not believed that
the 1887 General Assembly would
have enacted the new law if it had
had any intimation that the State
would be divided up into nine dis
trict commissions and the administra-
ton of the roads and prisons thrown
back into local politics. The outcome
is being watched with interest.

Actually, however, another woman's
name should have been given to the
costume, for it was Elizabeth Smith
Miller, who introduced Oriental style
trousers for women at the worlds
first equal rights meeting, in Seneca
Falls, N. Y. Miss Miller woret with
them a skirt that reached just below
her knees. Mrs. BloOmer wrote an
article for a popular woman's maya
zine of this time, advocating leaving
off skirts entirely in favor of the
trousers. So they came to be called
bloOmerS.
Of course, women don't wear bloom
ers today and they're a pretty dull
subject but once they were the SYM
boil of woman's emancipation.
