WINTER GOLF IS PLEASING INSTITUTION Copyright, Underweed ap Underwood JEROME D. TRAVERS, OPEN GOLF CHAMPION. Winter golf, carried into the South, is a pleasing institution. But so far as developing championship form, it is entirely useless. Jerome Travers believed in resting up on the zame from October to April. He found that he came back to play with greater keenness and greater effect. Oswald Kirkby plays practically no golf between September and April. Yet Travers and Kirkby have been next to unbeatable between April and Beptember. On the other side, Phil Carter, who won five consecutive tourna- ments at Pinehurst last winter, failed to win a start after April. A few weeks of winter golf might be of service. But the man who tries to put in 12 months’ or 11 months’ play will soon come upon a stale game with all keenness erased. TO INSURE SOCCER PLAYERS Most Unique Idea Ever Evolved Sport Tried Out Successfully In California. Probably the most unique idea ever evolved in sport has been tried out suc- cessfully in California and is being considered by soccer football officials elsewhere. This is the establishment of a mutual protection insurance com- pany for the league players. Hereto- fore soccer pluyers, who are exposed to many injuries in the course of a season, played at their town personal risk and many suffered the conse- quences of their accidents, as the reg- ular insurance companies will not handle these hazards. The California Football association, which has suffered at various times through these runs of injuries, finally has decided to insure its own ath- letes. Funds are secured through a small assessment of players, through a sale of programs, and by smokers and other sources. The plan provides for compensation up to $50 for any in- Jury a player may sustain. HAILED AS COMING CHAMPION Young Jake Sehaefer Thought to Have Good Chance to Succeed to Willie Hoppe’s Title. in Young Jake Schaefer has a good chance of becoming champion billiard- ist one of these days say those who are expert fn the balk-line game. Schaefer has been coming along fast and is soon Sue to reach the perfection of his play, vhich, his friends think, will place him Jake Schaefer. at the top. Among those who have ‘een instrumental in bringing out the vest billiards there is in Schaefer is Willie Hoppe, the champion. Hoppe wax a pupil of the late Jake Schaefer, the tather of the present seeker after the titic, and the Wizard was respon- sible in large measure ipcaae! Hoppe the cue wonder he is today. is nothing strange, therefore, that Hoppe would in turn impart much of his own knowledge to the son of the man who taught him many of the finer points of the greencloth game. Schaefer is now twenty-three years old and in his style of play reminds one forcibly of his father, who was one of the greatest exponents of the game.

Small Piece of Webbing, Fastened to Catcher’s Glove, Made Noise Like Foul Tip—How It Fooled Tom Lynch. When a ball player has been with Connie Mack two years or more he gen- erally becomes a smart fellow—wiser in the tricks of the game than the usual run of battlers, There are few angles Mack does not know from the grouna up. Several changes in rules were due tu the heady work of ball players and at least one change can be lald directly to Connie's door. This was making a foul tip out on the third strike, writes Malcolm McLean in Chicago Evening Post. Years ago a batter was out if the catcher caught a foul tip on the first ball delivered. Connie Mack was catching for the Pirates in 1893 and he roomed with George Moreland when the team was on the road. George had various offices with the Pittsburgh club, being scout, chief assistant, etc. One night Moreland entered their ho- tel room before Mack and dug up the latter's best catching mitt. He started to cut a hole in the center of it, and was still engaged at this task when Mack came in, “Hey, George, what are you do- ing?” asked Mack. This was a most natural query for a catcher to spring when seeing his best glove being treat- ed in this fashion. “Never mind, just watch,” replied Moreland, digging away. In a few minutes he took a piece of webbing out of his pocket. He trimmed this to a certain measure and began sewing it over the hole. “Come on, George; game?” again asked Mack. answered Moreland, without even looking up. Suddenly, as Mack gazed at the cu- rious proceeding, Moreland caught hold of the web and let it flip back. It sounded like the crack of a small whip. Mack needed no explanation. He was on his feet in an instant, shouting: “Give me that glove.” Ad Gumbert was pitching for the Pi- rates the next day and Tom Lynch, later president of the National league, was umpiring. On the first ball pitched the batter scarcely lifted the bat from his shoul- what's the BARRIS & EWING 07 so petal Connie Mack. der. Just before it reached Mack's hands he flipped the piece of webbing in his glove. “You're out!” yelled Lynch. The batter turned around in amaze- ment. “Out? Say, I didn’t even offer at the ball.” “Can't help that; it’s a foul tip,” snapped Lynch, “I heard it.” And the batter, puzzled and angry, had to stalk back to his bench. Kight men bit the dust that day be- fore Gumbert and Mack. Every once Ja a while Connie would filp that web and the batter would be out, Connie watched the batters closely and would finally work his trick when he saw the man was going to swing. It was impossible for the umpire to tell whether the batter struck the ball or not, but he heard the tip all right. Mack never gave that secret away, and he went along quite a time until finally discovered. After that time nothing was allowed to be placed in the glove like webbing or rubber. Then Connie learned how to snap his finger to make it sound like a foul tip. It wound up by having the rule changed so that the batter wasn’t out except on the third strike, when it was a foul tip, This didn't occur until the following year, and Mack had a whole season in which to befuddle umpires and batters, DEFER BILLIARDS IN LONDON To Be No Championship Contest In England During Winter—War Is Given as Reason. There will not be a championship contest at English billiards in London during the coming winter. The Bil- Mards Control club, which has juris- diction over professional billiard championships in England, has an- nounced that Melbourne Inman wtli be permitted to retain the title of cham- pion indefinitely. One reason given for the decision is .hat some of the championship eligibles may be called to the colors before the competition can be arranged. The fault was grave; I might have known What far too soon, alas! I learned— The heart can bind itself alone, And faith may oft be unreturned. More eagerly sought and longed for than friendship which Is supposed be true and deep. It is .sur- prising to find how wany kinds of socalled friendships one may meet with. Wowen expect much of those to whom they extend their confidence. Ask any wotmnn what she expects of a woman friend and she will re ply unhesitating- ly, “One who shows an interest in and to whom I can go for consolation if [ am troubled or dispirited; one who | sure to cheer me up, & woman who will stand by me through thick and thin, if I meet with reverses as well as success.” But there are friendships bought too dearly, friendships that in time turn confidences into fear, not to say alarm. All friendships between women are delightful in the beginning. Some are honest, others are cloven- me, some footed. No foe is so mean as the one- time friend. When a woman has un- folded her heart secrets to another woman—grave family secrets which no power on earth et id have wrenched from her bosom—she finds too late that the friendship which she thought the quicksands. She is forever in her power. The me pst advantage such a person can take of her is to make the guardianship of her secret the basis of borrowing money from her. The victim fears to refuse. If there were no obligations between them “the friend” would ask the favor hesitat- ingly. If the whip handle has been placed in her hands, she forever holds the weapon over the other woman's head. The favor she asks, or rather demands, grows in proportion to the other woman's fear, In a burst of confidence, a woman once told an intimate friend that her husband had been accused of a crime, EEE EEE ET Mothers’ Cook Book PEPE ETE Love of home and of what home stands for converts the drudgery of daily routine into a higher order of social service. Good Dishes for the Family. A punch that you need not fear to give to the children is made as fol- tows: Prepare a rich cranberry jeily, carefully straining, to remove all seeds. To a quart of the jelly add the juice of a lemon and a tablespoonful of gela- tin softened in cold water, add enough cold ‘water to make two quarts, freeze and serve as a frappe or punch. Veal Omelet. Put three cupfuls of cooked veal through the meat chopper with a good slice of salt pork and three small | crackers rolled fine, then add one beat- en egg, two tablespoonfuls of softened outter, one teaspoonful of salt, a little pepper and nutmeg. Mold in the form of an oblong loaf, put in a pan with softened butter and fine cracker crumbs. Baste several times, adding more crumbs so that at the last it may have a brown crust. Bake one hour; serve thinly sliced with tomato sauce. French Roast Goose. Clean and truss a young fat goose, removing all the fat possible from the vent. Stuff with bread, four parbotled onions, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a half cupful of cooked chest- nuts, a little grated nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Put the goose in a sauce- pan, breast down, on a bed of sliced carrots, celery and one onion chopped fine, a little marjoram, clove and pars- ley sprinkled over the vegetables. Cook in a very hot oven for 20 minutes, then lower the heat and cook three and a half hours slowly for a six-pound goose. Use the giblets for a sauce. Brown four tablespoonfuls of flour with the same amount of fat, add a half cupful of water and, when smooth, add milk to thin the sauce to the right consistency. A half cupful of ripe olives, chopped, added to the sauce im- proves it. Caper Stuffing for Fish. Take three slices of dry bread and a small siice of salt pork fnely chopped. Pour boiling water over the bread, squeeze dry, add the pork, a tablespoonful of melted butter and one teaspoonful of capers chopped, a half teaspoonful of marjoram, mix well and stuff the fish. Cream Cucumber Sauce for Fish. Beat a cupful of cream until stiff and add a tablespoonful of vinegar. If the cream is sour less vinegar Is need- ed.

We take it as a matter of course that a man or woman must be twenty-one years old to vote, Girard observes in the Philadelphia Ledger. In Hungary men vote at twenty, but | in Austria, which the Irish bullmaker would designate the “major half" of Emperor Charles Joseph's empire, men must be twenty-four, We hear a great deal about Prus- | Sianism these days, A I jan can- not vote under twenty-five Nor can the conquered Belgian cast a ballot at a more tender age. Up in Denmark folks grow up slow- ly, and thir years is the minimum limit for a voter. Japanese are sup- posed to know enough at twenty-five to use the ballot wisely. The czar fixes things nicely in the matter of elections. As you know, he has a great army even in times of peace, But no Russian soldier can vote. Nor can a Russian student or polic man. The theory is that these classes of men can easily cong ate 80 a8 LO act in unison, which might ut certain times cause formidable combinations. In Portugal domestic servants were formerly not allowed to vote. French and Italian soldiers when un- der arms cannot enjoy the franchise. England disqualifies anybody who ac- cepts charitable relief, but she also puts a premium upon the highbrow.

DIXON, Commissioner of Health of Pennsyl- vania. Let the innocent bystander beware of the careless or ignorant individual who takes no pre caution to cover the nose and mouth to catch the spray when sneezing. Such carelessness should be resent- ed as you would resent the danger- ous habit of spit- ting. When you sneeze, a spray of the secretions from the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and the throat is thrown into the air for quite some distance around you. This +spray often carries germs of disease. From some forms of leprosy aod cuber- culosis, thousands of germs that will produce those diseases, are breathed in by these who are standing within the zone of the spray. Many of the Influenzas or so-called yds are communicited from one per- son to another inthe sume way, Some healthy people have disease-producing organisms that are sneezed out and if taken into the respiratory tract of uth- ers who have less resistance, they will lead to serious results. Mirrors at Curves. To make the world-famed scenic drive through Denver's municipal mountain park system all the more sufe and enjoyable, tw> large mirrors have been placed at the sharpest curves on the’ Bear creek canyon sec- tion of the road, These provide a practical guard against accidents by enabling people to see whether any motor cars or other vehicles are ap- proaching from the opposite side of the curve. The mirrors are three feet high by Ove feet wide and are mount- ed on tron pipe securely cemented in solid rock on the outer edge of the road. They are carefully set in heavy wood frames which are covered by the substantial and attractive copper covering used in connection with plate glass in store fronts. The frames ure so constructed as to prevent injury from moisture. The cost of the mir- rors and the work of installing amounts to about $50 each, Hard to Please. “That manicure made a poor Job of my nails,” “But the smile she gave you “Shucas!

Even those who were not born in America develop into the American type after ten or twenty years in this country. Perhaps it is the freedom of thought and action that brings about the change. You know the poor man of Europe—the peasant—has no free- dom of action and thought, and when he comes to America and learns what it is to act as he likes and think as he likes it changes his whole countenance. This is what makes the American typ even of the immigrants, after they have had a few years of this uew spir- itual atmosphere, “One must occasionally go to Europe to appreciate America. Here you all have opportunity. You can have your little home and can work if you will. No one need go hungry nor ask char- ity here. “Europe will not recover her posi- tion of two years ago in generations. How long it will take no man can tell. But today the best blood is be- ing poured out on the field of battle, the best of her children are dying by thousands of diseases back of the lines of battle. Science will be calling for men to push on her work and the men who would have answered the call will be found to have dfed on the bat- tlefield, The ablest physicians of the future are dying in the trenches, the best artisans, the greatest teachers and the most fertile-minded invent- ors.” Why Some Are Color-Blind. That part of the eye called the retina ie divided into little structures, some of which can perceive a slowly moving ray of light. Others can see only medium or rapidly moving waves. The slow waves look red, the medium green or yellow and the rapid waves blue or violet. When any of these dell- cate eye structures lose the power of visualizing the colors which they were destined to see the eye's owner be- comes color blind, being unable to dif- ferentiate between red or green or blue. Kept at Home. “Is your outlook on life changed, now that you are a married man?” “I suspect so,” replied the benedict who was forinerly a gay bachelor. “At least 1 am denied the opportunities for studying night ife I used to have.” Poultry Pointers EEE The direct rays of the sun will kill disease germs If they come in ecntact with them, and this shows how neces- sary it Is to have clean, large windows in the henhouse to permit the sun's rays free access. If it has not been done, be sure that the henhouse roof is water-tight and the sides windproof so that the house can be kept dry and the fowls protect- ed from drafts, especially when on the roosts at night.
