V\ R C Mowm'i SYRUP PEPSIN; A Doctor's Family Laxatnc, I \Jvhts of *> O J WAITKR NEW YORK TRUMBULL Moat of the big baseball player# lur* a very wsru> spot lu their heart* for youngsters. I know that Lou Gehrig, for example, recently broke an en^ gagement to go to a purly at a hoys club. And when he got there, with Minlllng good nature he autographed hooka, cards und everything the kid# offered him on which to write hia name. Gehrig, the 'man tClark Grlftllh and many other baseball men have frequently selected an their ull-star. all time first baseman, la ? modest, likable giant, who has none of the s?> called bad habits. Yet his baseball Idol Is Ha he ltuth. who has not always followed the straight ami narrow path. I Hecause he has been on the same team with the Ha he, l.ou Gehrig bits not always bad the recognition his ability deserves, and It might he only natural If he felt some resentment. Hut his admiration for ltuth Is unoolored by the slightest tinge of JealouAj| The Sultan of Swat has no miflw loyal booster Gehrig declares and believes that ltuth Is a grand fellow and the greatest hull player that ever lived. 0 When the New York Yunkees are on the road, Oehrlg sometimes goes down to the dining room ahead of ltuth and the Babe usks Lou to order his dinner for him, tt "Ho always eats the same thing. Hays Gehrig. "I Qrder him a stenk. and if It Is not two Inches thick, ne Bends It back." Hut I know another favorite dish of the Habe's. I have often known him to drive from St. Petersburg to Tampa, because there Is a restaurant in the latter city which gets stone crabs from the Kast coast. * Ruth now sees humor In an experience he once had, but he didn t laugh when it happened He was drlxing his car to keep a golf engagement at a club which Is pretty well out in the country, and he was hurrying. A small town motorcycle cop chased and halted him. "He didn't recognize me." said the great man. In relating the incident t-> his friends, "so 1 told him my name." "And what did he say then?" in quired a listener. "lie said." roared the Hnbe. "So your name Is Ruth? Well, what business nre you In?'" ( To a man who can't walk a block or two In New York without tying up truffle, this was a crushing blow. It Is an experience to walk on a busy thoroughfare In almost any large city with either of those two superlative showmen, Ruth or Jack Dempsey. Before you have gone a block, you realize that as far as avoiding attention Is concerned, you might as well lead a lion on a leash, or take an airlug on an elephant. As a matter of fact, I saw an elephant led through .our ittcoti for advertising purposes, and It attracted considerably less attention than I have seen crowds display for both the Mannssa Mauler and the Bambino. One more story about Ruth. When ho was making a picture In Hollywood, a certain news service assigned a reporter to "cover him," with \lnstructlons not to let him out of sight from the time he rose until he retired for the night, and to write all he did. The representative of the press took his job so seriously that he got on the Babe's nerves. He asked Ruth whether he did any road work keep In condition and was assured that he did. Why then, the"Yeporter demanded, had he never seen the Babe on the road. It was hecause, he was told, he did not rise early enough, ltuth. he was told, did his road work at 6 a. m. The news gatherer was shocked to hear that he had been tnlaslng something and announced that he would be on hand the next morning. This was unwelcome news, but the Babe and Artie McQovern, who was with him, set nn alarm clock for 5:45 and struggled out into the early dawn They found the reporter waiting. They started to Jog up the street and the reporter Jogged with them. Hut then the Babe Increased the pace. At the end of a couple of blocks, the news bound was nil in. He gasped a i question as to whether they would re , turn by the same route, was assured thnt they would and dropping breath- 1 less ..Ti a lonven: nt lawn, stated that he would w a : for them.

Pawnbroker's Sign Traced to the City of Florence The three glided balls which are often used as the Indication of a pawnbroker's shop may be traced to the City of Florence many hundreds of years ago. The business of lending money for prollt Is very old, and the establishment of such a business was an Important pnrt of the enterprises carried on by the powerful Medici family during the Middle ages. This family rose to wealth und In fluenCfe by successful commercial ventures. and continued to combine the career of merchants and bankers with the exercise of political power. It was In ajl, probability the Importance of the Medici in money matters that led the money-lenders to adopt the Medici coat-of arms, on which there were three gilt halls. Some authorities say that the three halls represent three pills, In a punning allusion to the profession of medicine by the Medici family. 1 Location of Sing Sing Sing Sing Is a famous New York state prison located at Osslnlng, a town on the Hudson river about thirty miles north of New York city. The town Itself was originally called Sing Sing, supposedly from the Sine Sing or Slotslnk tribe of Indians who once llred In that vicinity. In 1901 the name of the town was 'officially changed to Osslnlng, which Is merely a different form of "Sing Sing," because the old name became objectionable to the Inhabitants due to its association with the penitentiary. Both "Sing Sing" and "Osslnlng" are corruptions of the Delaware Indian word "asslneslnk," literally meaning "at the small stone." u' Bogey's Biography A golfing gentleman still well remembered Is Colonel Bogey. According to report, he wns born In England and derived his name from the song popular at the time: "Hush, hush, here comes the bogey man!" He was thus named by the secretary of the United Service Golf club, who a little later suggested that as all members of that club must be serving or retired officers, It was proper that the new Invisible member should have rank, and that as he never made mistakes he must be a senior officer? hence the title "Colonel."?Boston Transcript.
