YOU CAN LEARN A LOT
FROM ADVERTISING
The main thing an advertiser wants to do Is to tell yeu
plainly just, now and why his goods are worthy of your
consideration. You can learn a great deal from that
alone, because many things you see advertised are the
things you buy and use In your regular _dai|y life. By
reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and
read descriptions of the things that are best and most sat-
isfactory.
But advertising teachers more than that. All advertisers
try to make their advertisements themselves valuable te
yeu.
A pood many people hive learned a whole lot abot^ good
music. good books, good food, good clothes, ways to keep
healthy, ways to live comfortably, ways to keep the house
end grounds looking well—they’ve learned all these things
and many ether things Just by reading advertisements.
Read the advertisements right along, and you will learn ■
great dsal that will be helpful and valuable to yeu as yen
ge through Ilfs.

Gene Sarazen Speaks
for Modem Golf Ball
Gene Sarazen, the profession-
al golfers' association champion,
In commenting on the proposed
new standard golf ball, said re-
cently ;
“I can’t see any reason for
making a change; the ball we
are using now suits me pretty
welL Golfers get greater pleas-
ure out of hitting a long tee
shot than they do from any oth-
er shot of the game—therefore,
why deprive them of that pleas-
ure? However, I doubt If a ball
a little larger and a little light-
er will make so much difference
to the average player; In fact,
the ‘duffer’ will be benefited.
The bigger ball will give a larger
target to hit and sits up higher
on the ground."
BASEBALL CHANGED
SINCE OLDEN DAYS
Frank Chance Says Single
Score Is Nothing Now.
Frank Leroy Chance, who was com-
pelled to give up the management of
the Chicago White Sox on account of
ill health, remarked before leaving for
the West that baseball had changed
greatly since the days of the great
Cub machlpe; that he piloted to four
pennants and two world’s champion-
ships. And he spoke a mouthful In a
few words.
Chance was in a position to note
the vast change because of the fact
that he was away from the game for
a long period. Hls last fling before
what everybody figured would be hls
swan song In the majors was with the
Yankees In 1914, und from then until
he returned to manage the Red Sox In
1923 he was a total stranger to the
big time game. During that period
pitching went Into a decline and hit-
ting became the paramount feature of
the national pastime.
Where Chance noticed the difference
upon hls return a year ago was In the
matter of playing for runs. When he
and hls Cub wreckers were In their
prime It usually was a case of getting
a one-run lead and holding it It
took real pitchers to do that, but
Chance had them In those days.
As the game Is played today one run .
means nothing. A fluke home run ova;r
a short fence by a punk hitter can /up-
set a game In the twinkling ofi an
eye. The live ball and the fartf that
pitchers have been forced to w«rk al-
most continually with new b^lls are
responsible for this. The rei
been high scores, and the
bunt and the stolen base, whl]
potent factors In the days of
J/raOs. b.uv-vfkRMMjkbfH-J. f tu! J ea I:
repute.
Another-thing Chance noticed about
the game of the present against that
of the past #as the change In the at-
titude of the athlefes. Not all of
them, but many. There has gradual-
ly crept Into the game a tendency to
pamper the players Instead of dealing
with them with the Iron fist. Chance
naturally would notice this. In hls
day he was what we now term a hard-
boiled disciplinarian.
Whenever Chance and fines are
spoken of In the same breath the name
of Helnle Zimmerman breaks In on the
memory. Helnle was a persistent of-
fender, and Chance was forced to take
hundreds of dollars away from him,
but the Bronx Dutchman never settled
down. Fines didn’t bother Heine be-
cause he was one of those rare play-
ers who didn’t care about money.

Cricket Is Making Much
Headway in Canada City
Still they come. Another new cricket
club has been formed In Toronto by
Canadian General Electric employees,
with over 80 members. It shows how
popular the game Is becoming In Can-
ada. There Is to be a cricket week
In Toronto this year, beginning July
15. The last two days will be given
over to the annual lnter-provlnclal
match, Ontario vs Quebec, and
matches with Hamilton district and
western Ontario will also be played.
At Its meeting the Toronto and Dis-
trict Cricket council gave the Toronto
Umpires' association a black eye by
declining to accede te the request that
a foe of $2 per game per man be paid.
“In the Interest of good cricket,” de-
clares E. S. Jackson, the cricket ex-
pert, "the decision arrived at by the
delegates Is to be regretted."

For Raw Sore Throa*
At the first sign of a raw, sore
throat rub on a little Musterole with
your fingers.
It goes right to the spot with a gentle
tingle, loosens congestion, draws out
soreness and pain.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment
made-with oil of mustard. It has all
the strength of the old-fashioned mus-
tard plaster without the blister.
Nothing like Musterole for croupy
children. Keep it handy for instant
use. 35 and 65 cents in jars and tubes;
hospital size, $3.
