keepers are a lot of gyps, and that
it is positively a civic duty to
thwart them in their attempted rob-
berry.
The Old Come-On
Then, too, the storekeepers know
perfectly we'll that the person who
goes shopping to get a bargain gen
orally buys something else. That is
the whole underlying basis for the
Gloss leader" device so frowned
upon by the federal trade commits
sion. The store advertising some
particular bargain knows that if it
can get people into it's doors by
selling something the customers
know is very cheap, the probability
is that n in every two will buy
something else-something on which
the storekeeper makes a real profit.
So this mouth to mouth propa-
ganda that bargains are to be had
over in Windsor, when the Detroit
folks are talking, or down in Aqua
Caliente, if the Los Angeles and San
Diego wives are talking about their
shopping, is insidious.
Some of these tariff dodgers real
ly buy only for their WI use, but
many of them resell, and make the
trip as often as the law allows
once every thirty days. Canada Of
fers tempting furs and duty-free
British wool cloth and garments.
Mexico has fine Indian art objects.
Both admit varieties of foreign
goods almost duty free because they
do not happen to compete with local
industries.
According to the Los Angeles mer-
chants, the movie stars are the
worst offenders. They like to run
over to Mexico anyhow, for one
reason or another. They resent fed
eral taxes in a really big way and
get a thrill out of cheating Uncle
Sam legally, which may not bother
the Treasury much but it is GER
tainly a pain in the cash drawer
for the Los Angeles department
stores and specially shops.
incidentally, Los Angeles thinks
the proposed amendment futile. 1t

only if the tourist had been out of
the country at least forty-eight

"That's just a nice Weekend"
say the southern California dealers.

Not an Accident
1t was not just an accident that
several newspapers had prominent

the announcement of Justice Willis
Van Devanter's resignation that the
probable appointee in his place
would be Senator Joseph T. Robin
son of Arkansas, the Democratic
leader of the senate for these many
years.

CLASS { BASEBALL
HASGREAT APPEAL
Eagerness Of Boys to Play
Assures Success of New
Minor Policy.
By a Stan Correspondent Of The Star


- H1CAGO. Dec. 25.-Henry P.
I Edwards. publicist for the
I American League, juggled a
~ double arm load of letters.
Kids wanting to know how to get
tryouts in the new class E leagues"
he explained, dropping the letters on
his desk. Some New York columnist
wrote that was in charge of class E
leagues and now get 40 or so letters
day; mostly from youngsters Of 1tal-
ian descent. They all want to be
Di Maggios.'
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Edwards
has nothing to do with class E leagues
or any league outside of the Ameri-
can. The new class is under the
jurisdiction of the National Assoc-
alton, but Edwards mail is indicative
OF the growing interest in professional
baseball among the youngsters of the
country. Particularly among big city
kids, for most of the letters Edwards
received were from New York.
The class E leagues, of which there
will be a dozen or so next season and
perhaps twice that many year hence
will give hundreds of boys the chance
to test themselves in organized base
ball. The primary idea of the. class
E league is to privide opportunities
for home town boys and to revive
what we used to call town ball, under
professional control.

THERE is sufficient territory in the

players. Clubs operating baseball
schools constantly are coming across
kids just short of class D ability who
might, if able to play regularly under
competent coaching. develop into ma
terial for the higher minors, if not
the majors.
If the class E leagues do nothing
else, they will stimulate interest in
professional baseball and revive the
game on a sound basis in communities
that have been without the sport for
years. Some time ago in Ohio every
small town had a team composed of
home boys, but because there were no
