PENNANTRACES OPEN TOMORROW warriors rowing upon their arms on the eve of battle, most of the sixteen major league dubs are taking things easily today in preparation for the official opening of the 1929 baseball season tomorrow. Six weeks of a strenuous training campaign lie behind them; six months of pennant, pursuit lie just ahead. The customary predictions for a prosperous season and two close races having been made by the heads of organized baseball, all that remains is to raise the flags and, as old Tim Hurst used to growl, "Let ’er go.” Inclement weather, especially in the east, may necessitate postponement of several of the opening games. The schedule for the opening day is: National League Pittsburgh at Chicago New York at Philadelphia St. Louis at Cincinnati Brooklyn at Boston. American League Philadelhpia a’.

towering arena. The Italian’s body is streightened out from the force of the shot at first, and then as it reaches its greatest altitude, it begins to turn over and over as it falls into a net stretched from the balcony on the other side of the Garden. It is all over in a second, of course and Tony untangles himself after a few bounces and comes smiling bravly down to earth on his own two feet. His girl-wife rushes to his side, but he assures her with a kiss and they go off down the tan bark arm in arm, while the circus crowd roars partly in applause and partly with relief. But you can’t fool a New York ’wise guy”. On the opening night Dexter Fellows, the demon press agent, was mingling with the departing throng, his ears fairly wiggling for information as to the crowd’s reaction to the stunt. Two of those fellows who are so smart they bet 3 to 1 on prize fights were elbowing their way out the exit, ”Ow dwelo “Whaddaya tink of dat?” whaddayaed one of them. “Aw, dey dp it wit’ mirrors,” repliedthe other. Mr. Fellowes was revived with some of the very smelling salts he had provided for patrons who might be overcome by the act.

DELAYS ON 8-HOUR DAY Geneva, April Tf^TuP)—Ten years after Its enactment, the famous Washington eight-hour labor convention has been ratified by only fourteen nations. And of these nations, only nine have ratified it unconditionally and put it in operation. According to the International Labor Bureau here which has just completed a fresh survey of the world-wide situation as regards eight-hour labor day, the principal difficulty in securing the ratification and application of the convention, has been the failure of the larger Industrial nations to take the lead in the matter. Os the fourteen nations that have ratified the convention today only Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Cezechosolvakia, Greece, Indiana iuzembourg, Portugal and Romania have ratified it unconditionally. The five other ratifying nations, namely Austria, France, Italy, Latvia and Spain have made the going into effect of their ratifications conditional upon the convention first being

Our automobiles stand ready to whisk us over smooth boulevards to new scents. Monday is no longer blue; tne family washing is done by electricity; so too is tin* evcl: ng. and the preserving of food, and the sweeping of floors. Yes, the world we live in has changed ... changed marvelously for the better. Have you ever stopped to consider the part advertising has played in this change?
