On the other hand ,Chuck Klein drew down a mere $7,500 from the Phillies last year for breaking the National League home run record, and his team-mate, Lefty O'Doul not much more for leading the league’s batsmen with a mark of .398. Before closing the statement of financial affairs, it may be noted that Lou Little, Columbia's new head football coach, becomes. one of the highest, if not actually the highest paid gridiron mentor in the country. It is understood Little has an agreement calling for an verage wage of $20,000 for three year: apportioned at $18,000 for 1)?0 $20,000 for 1931 and $22,000 for 1932. The Carnegie report, covering over 100 colleges and universities, revealed $14,000 as the highest sal- ary paid any head coach. The baseball customers, made en- thusiastic by Ruth, yelled for home yuns and got them—so much so that in the last few years there has been a re-action and much agitation against a continuation of the clouting. As a counter move resin bags were given to the pitch- ers. Special screen were. erected Jast season in some parks to reduce short-range targets. The National League has instructed the makers to remove the “shine from the ball so that it will soil easier and be harder to hit. rofessional hockey, in a shorter time, has had a similar experience. To meet the cry for more goals, rules were radically changed to aid the offense this season. ~The con- sequent scoring rampage resulted in National League sextets doubl- ing the output of goals. Now the tendency is to seek a happy med- jum while still furnishing enough excitement to keep up the interest of the customers. So far as the rules are concerned, one set seems as good as another to the Boston Bruins, who won the world’s championship last winter ond have spread-eagled the field th1< seacon with record-breaking B » GOODIE SALE There will be a GOODIE SALE Yeld March 1st at Garnick’s Gro- cory Store under the auspices of he Lutheran Ladies Aid Society. major | tol E ELEPHANT'S EARS START JUMBO HATS PARIS, Feb. 25—The ele- phant’s ears, like the bee's knees, used to be a sort of symbol. Now the Paris milliners have made them a part of the smart style vocabulary by launching elephant ear hats which are the rage of the Ritz. An elephant ear hat is one with long flapping sides, little back and no front brim. It bears the authori- tative stamp of one of the Rue de la Paix's costliest and most successful mod- istes. WOMEN WORKERS ARE INCREASING IN AUTO INDUSTRY WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. growing number of women workir alongside men is shown in a study of the automotive industry com pleted by the department of labo tions in the industry, which in- cludes both manufacture of motor vehicles, bodies and parts, women were employed in all except They were barred from the chinists’ and tool and die trades, and the heavy task of auto mobile assemblers. The department study shows the average weekly wages of men were $37.35 in 1928, while for the same year women were paid $24.50. The average wage for men and women was $37.05. In eight principal automotive states the number of women em- ployes increased from 1,379 in 1922 to 4,134 in 1928. — e — CURIO HUNTERS IMPERIL VALUABLE INDIAN RELICS ANN ARBOR, Mich, Feb. 25.— Priceless records of former human life are being destroyed “at a rate incredible to those not in touch with the situation,” says Dr. Carl E. Guthe, Director of the Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan. These records are Indian relics m: most valueless to tell the story of tribes, nations and customs now extinet, unless they are studied in the original mounds where un- earthed. He lays the destruction both to curio hunters and to amateur archeologists. He suggests that vandalism may be checked by correcting an er- roneous impression that archeo- Ilogical objects have an intrinsic financial value. — .o — B. P. 0.

You know Chuck Klein is the big |robust boy who cost the Phillies $750 one season and then proceed- ed the next season to hit like he first year up from the Three-1 had cost $75,000. Chuck, in hi league, lead the National League in home runs. Perhaps one reason the Phillies predict great things for Sigman is that he comes from the territory made famous by Chuck the clouter. Sigman is a product of the Cen- 1tral league, a circuit adjoining the ‘Three-I league. Sigman, who is 26, hit 41 home runs for the Canton, O, club in 1929 and then came up to Phila- delphia to finish the season. It was what he did in the ten con- cluding games that put his name in Ipublic prints in bold face type. In the ten games Tripp helped himself to 15 safe hits, including two home runs, for an average of 517. Opposing pitchers had little time to find what Tripp couldn’t hit. It seems, though, that he has no serious weakness. There is every indication, in fact, that {he is a natural slugger. Here is how Cullen Cain, the Na- tional league observer, describes the latest corn belt find: “It was not merely Sigman's batting prowess or his speed or skill in the field, during his brief big league term, that so impressed the wise ones. It was the man- ner of this young man as he went about his chores. His stance at the plate, his poise, his style, the way he took his cut at the ball— these stamped him a hitter of rare and potential promise. He 'also knows how to judge a fly ball land has a strong throwing arm.” | PG vt \ FINAL TAX NOTICE Second and Final payment Taxe become delinquent Monday, March 3, 1930, after which date 10% Pen- alty and 8% Interest attaches tc all unpaid taxes.
