Staff Correspondent) New York, April 9. — (U.P.) —With five new managers handling clubs in a league that has been reorganized almost entirely, a prediction ot the outcome of the American league championship races involves more than the ordinary risks. It would be a simpler and a more pleasing process to act like the bookmakers and establish two clubs on the same odds as the favorites for the championship. Accepting the responsibility of being wrong — and very wrong—the standing of the teams in the American league next October looks like this: Philadelphia Athletics. New York Yankees. Washington Senators. Cleveland Indians. Detroit Tigers. St. Louis Browns. Chicago White Sox. Boston Red Sox. • Choosing between the Athletics and the Yankees for the call on first place requires a verdict against a powerful team that won a championship last year, a club with hitting power enough to be rated a five run ball club. The Yankees with the exception of the pitching staff, are A club of class and power. The Athletics, however, seem to be almost a perfect team. the most powerful pitching staff in the league and he seems to have everything else. Some critics have said the real strength of the club is worked around too many old bones but even if Cobb. Collins and Wheat can't work in every game, the utility men are able to handle their positions. The Indians wifi miss Speaker and it is not safe to assume that the pitchers will function as they did last year on that George Burns will maintain the same most valuable player pace. The Detroit Tigers, however, may be the big surprise of the league. PICKS COLONELS Clark B. Kelsey Picks Louisville To Win In A, A. By Clark B. Kelsey (U. P.

VINES DESTROYED Shrubbery Along Lincoln Highway Victim Os Vandals Indianapolis, Ind. April 9 1 Unit'd Trass) A flagrant case of civic unthoughtfulness and roadside vtindallsm whereby ornamental vines and! shrubbery planted al considerable cost for toad side beautification were being I destroyed, developed this week. Highway employes discovered two m< n, who claimed to be police officers, digging sassafras along the Ideal Section of the Lincoln Highway lu Lake County. The sassafras was part of very extensive plantings in the roadside land scaping scheme established some time ago along that section, which cost several thousand dollars. state Highway officials are appealing to the public to retrain from taking wild flowers, vines and shrubs along opt n roads. Much of this is volnntarv growth, but is valuable for beautification purposes, nevertheless. Very often vines and shrubs serve to prevent erosion ot the road bed .and in this why protect the motorist. The Ideal Section of the Lincoln Highway was built as a show road to show what landscaping and prept r road building can do toward beautifitation. The pavement is 40 feet wide, and for a mile and a half traverses a 100 foot right-of-way. Private, civic and national interests subscribed to landscape the right-of-way parallelling the road. o —— TWO NEW DIRECTORS ELECTED BY DODGE BROS. l odge Brothers, Inc., announces the election to the board of directors of two Dealers, C.

Both Thorton and Dashiell are “original Dodge Brothers Dealers." having been identified with the sale of Dodge Brothers cars since 1914 when the car first came on'the market. Mr. Thorton is identified with the Thorton Fuller Co. of Philadelphia. His 1914 cotract called for the delivery of 400 cars. Last year the contract specified 7,800 cars for delivery. Mr. Dashiell is president of the Dashiell Motor Co. of Chicago. His total sales the first year were 900 cats while in 1926 the Dashiell Motor Co. “What Price Glory” Coming To Fort Wayne Still in the first flush of its sensational success in New York and direct from a long run in'Cincinnati, ■where it has been acclaimed as the year's greatest motion picture, “What | Price Glory,” comes to the Shrine Auditorium, Fort Wayne, Easter Sunday night, beginning a four days’ engagement. Captain Flagg, Sergeant I Quirt.

Its spontaneous success in New York and Chicago forecasts na-tion-wide popularity next, season when it tours the hinterlands as a "road show" picture. The Fort Wayne engagement will mark its £irst presentation in Indiana. Victor McLagen a brawny adventurer -who has been a prizefighter, circus strong man, life guard and sol-, dier in various parts of the world, has stepped to stardom almost overnight in the role of Captain Flagg.

SEEDING LAWNS Early Fall, Not Spring, Is Time To Seed Lawns Lafayette Ind. April 9 (Unlh'd Press)—A warning against needin'' lawns daring the spring was Isued today by A. A. Hundsen of the Ptirdn.’ Extension Staff. Early fall is I lie pro pi r lime to do this work, he said. Weeds ate the great enemies of turf, according to Hensen, and most of ihe lawn weeds come from seeds that ghrminate during the early spring. It Is for this reason that spring seeding of lawns is not a success, during the spring the tender grass seed Ings are brought into direct competition with tardy young plantains, buckhoru and other vigorous weeds, which is not the ease when the lawn is seded during early fall. p Stimson Discussed As Successor To Kellogg Washington, I). ■('. April 9—(United Press) —Henry L. Stimson, newly appointed special investigator of the Nicaraguan problem, was discussed heretoday as a possible successor to secretary of state Kellogg, if the latter resigns this summer. Stimson, who was secretary of war in the Taft cabinet, has been President Coolidge’s confidential advisor on the Philllppines, Tacnarica and Caribbean policies. His Nicaraguan mission described as likely to have far reaching result’s on the Central American policy of the United States. The President has asked Stimson to report on a formula for future relations between the United States and Nicaragua covered by the so-called "protectorate treaty,” proposed by President Diaz but no? entirely satisfactory to this government. The President’s dispatch of a large naval and marine fo>'ce to protect America’s rights to the Interocean>c canal and naval bases, in connexion with the present Civil war, is being supplemented now by a move to insure stability and protection of American rights in the future, it is said. o New Appeal Against Growing Lynching Evil Is Issued By Churches Washington, Apr. 9 (United Press) —Churches throughout the country were called on today by the Federal Council of Churches to redouble the efforts to arouse public opinion against the evils of lynching. “Protestant Churches, for five years, have been marshaling a campaign against, lynching to make America a lynchless land,” Dr. Peter Ainslie, Baltimore, chairman of the Race Relations Committee of the Council said. "The record of 1926 has given a set of 30 persons were victims of mobs last year." Dr. Ainslie pointed out that there were 13 more lynchings in 1926 than the previous year. Lynchings occurred in ten different states. The Federal Council of Churches is "shocked by the increase in the number of lynchings in 1926,” Dr. Ainslie said. He made public a list of states and their "lynching record” as follows: States that have never had a record

We are advised to dress warmly, keep the feet dry. avoid exposure, and above all, drink plenty of good water and avoid eating sweets of all kinds. Rheumatism is caused by body waste and acids resulting from food fennentatiion. it is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine the pores of the hkin are also a means of treeing the blood of tins impurity. In damp and chilly coild weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate, this waste and acids, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove waste matter, also to stimulate the kidneys, thus often ridding the blood of rheumatic poison. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla. and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
