New York, April 10. Everything ex
cept the weather is set today for the
opening of the major li-aguc baseball
season tomorrow. As for the weather
it 's beet not to interview any baseball
magnate on thut subject.
iNutte very, very cult! snow was doing
the honors today at Ebbots Field and
the Polo (Jroiinds in New York, and at
Braves Field in Boston. Conditions
were little better in Philadelphia.
.President Tener of ihe National
league todny announced his umpire as
signments jor the opening series ami
then sat right piiet to see if his luck
is jjood. O 'Iny and Bransf ield are
scheduled or Hrooklyu; Byron and
luigley at Boston; Klein and Enislio
at Chicago; Ixiglcr and Ortli at Cincin
nati i.
The weather in these parts is a serious
menace to opening the season. Unless
it turns wurnicr it will be impossible
to play baseball.

frcezone, the ether discovery of a Cin
cinnati man, which is said to loosen
any corn so it lifts out with tho fin
gers. Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter
ounce of frcezone, which will cost very
little, but is said to be sufficient to rid
one's feet of every hard or soft corn

You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching eorn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the eorn
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. It is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the adjoin

This discovery will prevent thou

Freddie Welsh Would
Raise Sport Regiment
New York, April 10 Freddie Welsh,
lightweight champion of tho world, to
day sent, to (iovernor Ulntmau a letter
asking that he be allowed to organize
a sportsman's regiment in America for
service in the Kuiopean trenches. Welsh
declares he wants to offer his services
and financial assistance in such an en
terprise . anil he proposed boxing bouts
in which he shall appear as one ot me
principals, the proceeds to go to the sup
port of the force.
"Several friends of mine, graduates
of West Point," Welsh wrote, "to.
whom I hav broached the subject, have
signified the subject, have signified
their willingness to join the regiment.
Many boxers and oilier sportsmen are
enthusiastic over the project and want
not only to join, but to help in every
way to raise tho necessary funds. A
number of these boxers have seen serv
ice in the United Htates army."
Welsh, who is an Englishman by
birth, points out that he has lived in
this country for 15 years. His wife and
two children are Auihnrans.
"I feel that the entrance of America
into the war," he said, "is the call to
arms for every man, who, like myself,
has been given an opportunity to earn
a living in this great country.'-'
Harry Pollock, manager of Welsh, de
clared his intention of being the first to
enroll in the Welsh regiment.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

How many
people say to
thenisclv e s ,
"Next year
will find me
with a nice
little savings
account," and
then realize
later on that
it was like
so many oth
er good reso
lutions, never
carried out.
The time to
begin is now, nothing is ever gain
ed by indecision. Begin by doing
without some one" tiling, wliiih
possibly may not come under the
head of extravagance, and still is
not a necessity. It is not so much
the amount you save at first that
counts, but .it paves the way for
the systematic saving, which, in the
end, makes the successful men and
women of tomorrow.
There is no country in the world
today with such vast opportuni
ties as our own for making and
saving money. Thcfce facts shottld
be especially brought home to us
at this time, considering the fear
ful cost of war md the increased
cost of liviug.
Secretary Redfield of the De
partment of Commerce, has sent
appeals to the public schools
throughout the country, asking the
children to save old paper andi
rags. "In the early history of the ;
paper industry," he says, "pub-
iicity was given to the importance!
of saving rags. It is of scarcely;
less importance now." If the cliil-;
drcn would begin by saving these '
two things, it would be a great I
step in the right direction. We
should teach them it is not a thing:
to be ashamed of, as some of our'
largest industries make their prof-v
its from by-products. '
Andrew Carnegie, who for years
yielded an influence in the indus-;
trial world as great, perhaps, as
any living man, came to this coun-l
try practica'ly penniless when he
was twelve, years old. His phe
nomenal rise in life may be at
tributed to his following clear prin
cipals and methods. In an ad
dress to students in a commercial
college he said, "Avoid specula
tion; avoid indorsements. Aim
high. For the question 'What
must I do for my employer?' sub
stitute 'What can I do?' Begin to
save early 'Capitalists trust the
saving young inaii.' Concentrate
your energy, thought and capital;
tight it out ou one line."
