Talk More Pro Grid Tits
National League Mognotes May Boost
Schedule Above Usual II Games

sible for the desire to play more
games, Carr reported.
Increasing the number of night
contests would make it possible
for teams to play more than II
games without extending the
actual playing period, Carr
pointed out.
Few, If any, radical rule
changes are anticipated, club
owners generally feeling the reg
ulations now in force give the
fans the kind of football they
want. A few minor suggestions
probably will be made to the

 Clothing stores are said to be right in the midst of a boom. Groc- CTS and meat dealers, however, are not getting much extra business al- though they admit that some pay ments are being made on several long past due bills.
 Radio stores and automobile deal CTS admit that there is an increase in business but not to the extent that they expected in view of in- creased wages in the local factories.
 One of the remarkable angles in the present situation is the fact that fewer turkeys were sold in the city for Thanksgiving than were sold a year ago and previous "lean" years, despite the fact that the price of the Thanksgiving piece de re- sistance" was lower this year than in many previous years,

Andres Notable Figure
In Early Boston History

Sir Edmund Andres, who was born
on the island Of Guernsey, in the
Channel islands, on December 6,
1887, and who died in London in
February, 1714, left his marks on
American history. AS a friend of
the duke of York, brother of the
king, went to New York as COVER
nor in 1874, remaining there until
1881, writes a correspondent to the
Detroit News. Five years later he
returned to the Colonies, to carry out
James IFS idea of consolidating the
New England colonies into one royal
province.
When they heard Of the landing
Of William Of Orange in England in
1889, the people of Boston rose and
seized the royal officers, including
Andres himself. He was returned to
England for trial but acquitted, and
IN 1892 was appointed governor of
Virginia, where for five years he
had considerable success. From
1704 to 1706 he was ieutenant-gov-
ernor Of Guernsey. THE Dictionary
Of American Biography" says that
Though not popular with advocates
Of democratic government, never
the1ess, he was one of the ablest
English colonial governors of the
Seventeenth century" He was es-
sentially a soldier, and where SOL
dierly qualities were needed his rule
was excellent; but he lacked under
standing of business affairs and Of
Puritan psychology.

ately and having the ceremony per-
formed. She is sure of your love
and gets a big kick out of putting
you off. She loves you too.
NJ. W.: l am worried about my
brother. He has been in failing
health over a year. They say he is
crazy. Is his wife the cause of his
condition or not?
Ans: His mind is affected as you
probably know although this
condition should not be blamed on
his wife. She had nothing what
ever to do with it and she is just as
upset over his being sick as you
are. He is getting good care and a
change for the better will take place
before many months.
R. L. G.: Does this boy who
comes to see me regularly love me
as he says he does and what makes
him cry so?
Ans: He's so darn much in love
with you that he just can't control
his emotions at times. Don't make
fun of his crying he can't seem
to help it. You love him too and it
is indicated to me that you and he
will make a trip to the minister's
study before very long.
R. M: Am in the house with my
parents and it seems that every
thing for the past three months
has been going wrong. Tell me
how to overcome this trouble?
Ans: Content yourself in the
home with your parents for the
time being. You have a wife and
child, and right now you aren't able
to get a place to yourself and sup
port them you and your wife
must overlook the things your par
ents say for as long as you are de-
pendent upon them you cannot af-
ford to grippe. By Christmas you
will be able to make a change.
A. c.: 1 am a man who loves to
travel and l have travelled plenty
in my life. I have been thinking
that 1 would like to move to Canada
and wonder if it would be a good
idea?
Ans: Make the change if you like
but international affairs as I'M
certain as they are now, l would ad-
wise you to remain here in the good
old U. S. A. Take a trip and visit
there if you like, but return here
for your home.
