This average cost considers the pur-chase price, interest on investment, depreciation and all operating and maintenance costs. A detailed comparison with any other car in the low priced field will convince you that Chevrolet is the . , best buy because of its superior quality and because the purchase price includes full equipment. More than a million Chevrolets are now in use. Twelve huge plants are now building them at the rate of twenty-fiv-e hundred per working day. Nearly one-ha- lf million Chevrolets were bought in 1923 far exceeding in number the sales of any other quality car. Thus, our statements have the strongest possible backing, namely, the faith and patronage of the American people who know automobiles and know practical valuesbetter than any other people on earth. Let any one of our seven thousand dealers show you our seven types of cars and explain how easy it is to get one and enjoy its use. Prices f. o. b.

PITCHERS OF TODAY ARE ONLY GAMBLERS Simply Throw Ball to Plate and Take a Chance. Ideas on pitching, rather the reasons for the lack of It, vary. Joe Tinker was never a pitcher, but played left end of the combination, lie was the only bat-ter that ever consistently hit Christy Mathewson. Tinker believes that the reason there Is so much poor pitching Is that the pitchers of today are not students of pitching, but gamblers. By gamblers he means that pitchers Just throw the ball- - to the plate and take a chaace on getting It by the batsman. The general run of pitchers today Is far removed from the at wage of 18 years ago, thinks Tinker He laughs at the stories of unsuccessful pitchers that they cannot pitch Ucause they cannot make the ball break., and points to Sara Jones, Howard Ehiuke, George Dauss, George Uhle and a few others to refute that alibi. Thee pitchers surely succeed In making It break. There are In baseball today too many "ten-cent- " heads. That Is what Tinker thinks. Players do not give thought to their work. This does not refer only to the pitchers, but to catchers, Infleldcrs and outfielders as well. Tinker recalled the game of 20 years ago. Players had to be drilled thoroughly in the minors before the majors ever considered them. Any time they made a mistake they were subjected to unmerciful criticism and then hnd to take It. That was part of the game to take It and not commit the same error a second time. Today the recruits come Into the majors with-out the schooling that recruits used to have and they are above criticism. They simply refuse to stand for It To sum It all up, the trouble with baseball today In Tinker's opinion, Is that too ninny of the players are piti-fully stupid. cross In alchemy Is the synonym of light, because any figure of the cross contains the letters L X V ('light'."

' Rosicrucians Secret Order of 14th Century The Hosicrucluns were a secret fra-ernlt- y alleged to have been founded during the latter part of the Four-teenth century by Christian ltosen-kreuz- German mystic, who dwelt for 1 time In India and Egypt, where he acquired a profound knowledge of the occult arts. The Koslcrueians, like the alchem-'st- s, pretended to transmute metals, to prolong life and to possess knowledge of what was occurring in distant places. They first became known to the world enrly In the Seventeenth century, through the publication of certain documents said to have been Issued by them; but according to many authorities, their existence was doubtful. The Rosicrucians were nlso called he Brothers of the Posy Cross, from the notion that the mime Is derived from "crux" (cross), and "rosa" (rose), P.rewer, however, says that the word Hoslcruclnn comes from "ros" (dew) find "rosa" (rose).

Bad Eyesight Cause of Many Diamond Failures Baseball to retain Its high standard of proficiency must take steps to con-serve capable athletes. Under modern conditions, with the best care and training, with expert Instructions as to keeping In shape, the average players hist about live years In the big show, and men who have served twelve or more seasons are unusual The biggest loss of players Is due, not to weak arms or bad legs, In wpite f what some say, but to eyes. More players lire lost because their eyes weaken than through any other cause, and more good youngsters are burred from the pro ranks because of some eye defect than from all other causes. The manager who can Invent classes that will not break and can be used without danger of serious accident to a player will have nt least .'0 per cent advantage over rival teams. For there Is no doubt that one-fourt- h of all veteran players would see better If they used gtusses while playing. Promoter Must Pay Many Large Bills for Fights In these modern times a promoter has to figure on giving at least CO per cent to the fighters and In some cases more. Out of 40 per cent be must provide nn arena for the contest, be must ad-vertise and exploit the card, be must hire a big stnlT to handle the tickets, be must pay the salaries of several hundred ushers, special police, etc. "Incidentals" alone uniount to a huge sum, and after all that has been sub-tracted, bo has to whack up the net profits, because he Is not In busi-ness "on bis own." Professional baseball does not carry the freight that boxing does, but it costs plenty to carry a major league baseball team through a season where tli weather gamble is a large one In early spring and late fail nnl where the salary problem Is one of ever concern.
