WILL PLAY POOL
Remarkable Exhibition to be Given by
Hall at Young Mems Republican Club

or Frederick r. Hall, who will give an
exhibition of pool playing at the Young
Mems Republican Club tonight, the Bal
timore Sun says:
At the city clubhouse of the Maryland
Country Club last night Frederick b.
Han, the exhibition pool player, gave an
exhibition Of his manipulation Of the
pool balls before large number of spec
tators. Mr.. Hall has Travelled over 1000
miles this season, giving exhibitions Of
pool playing. He attributes his skill to
his never having INDUCED in liquor, to-
haccO or even tea or coffee.
Some of the shots he makes appear to
be impossibilities. In one he pockets
fourteen balls with one shot Of the cue
ball. Another of his difficult feats is
known as Chinese pool" In this he
uses two cues. He picks up the cue ball
between the cues and throws it in the
air; as it descends he catches ID on the
cues and lets the bah roll down off the
cues and pocket an object ball. Once he
breaks the frame he proceeds to pocket
the entire fifteen balls, not by hitting the
cue ball with a cue. but by letting It run
down off the two cues and hitting the OBJ
Ject ball, driving it To a pocket.
In one feat Of finger billiards he has
thirty balls going around the table pass
ing each other as they cross from cushion
TO cushion. and finally landmg all thirty
in the same pocket lie also showed
some wonderful jump shots. In one he
Jumped double line OF twenty balls in
length, the cue ball lighting beyond the
line and pocketing an object ball.
Mr. Halls wife is almost, il not quite,
as clever as he is with a cue. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hall viii 20 to Europe shortly to

What knOK.Ne2

What know we Of the gnawing grief
That dims perchance our neighbor' S
way,
The fretting worry, secret pain
That may be his from day to day?
Then let no idle word of ours
Sting to his heart with more dismay.
What know we of temptations deep
That hover round him like the night
What bitter struggles may be his,
What evil influences blight?
Then be not hasty to condemn
II he have strayed from paths OF
right.
We know 80 little of the hearts
That everywhere around us beat,
So little of the inner lives
OF those whom day by day we greet,
Oh. It behooves us one and all
Gently to deal with those we meet.
Gently to deal and gently judge,
With that divinest charity
That thinks no evil but would seek
The good in every soul to see,
Measuring not by what it lis,
But by that which it strives to be.

Notes From WOman'S Realm Z
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

After the massage is over, turn upon
the back. that the shoulders may lie
perfectly fiat on the couch for five or
ten minutes, with the head but little
inclined.
The shoulder movement forward and
backward is very necessary TO correct
a STOPPING carriage and bent back.
With the hands resting on the hips,
both shoulders are first moved forward
evenly, but vigorously, and then drawn
backward.
The elbows must also be moved for
ward and backward as far as possible,
but the upper part of the body and
head is held erect With the backward
movement of che shoulders inhale, and
with the forward movement exhale.
Almost everybody has a low shoul-
der. This is caused in various WAYS
certain muscles are contracted when
walking, or one shoulder is held higher
than the other. or the head is carried
little to one side. Often this one
sidedness is the result of seemingly
trhing habits, like leaning to one side
while sitting.
To correct a want of uniformity in
the shoulders try this exercise several
times during the day. With the arm
dropped by the side, raise the low
shoulder slowly but strongly as high
as possible, holding it there while
counting ten. Then lower slowly. This
will by degrees increase the height OF
the shoulder.
A shoulder may be too high as we'll
as too low; in such cases draw the
high shoulder down, keeping it so for
few moments. Practice This at inter
walls during the day.
If there is no inequality in the shoul-
ders. it is still a good exercise to raise
and lower the shoulders simultaneously
1t not only develops the muscles
strengthening them if they are weak
but it lifts up the upper ribs. so that
the upper portion of the cavity of the
! chest is enlarged, and activity of res
piratiOn promoted.
She who has the interest of shoulder
blades at heart, always keeps the fol-
lowing rules tucked away in her mind
for immediate reference
Try to push the shoulder blades to-
gether many times during the day.
Roll the shoulder backward and for
ward
Walk or stand with the hands clasp
ed behind the head and the elbows
wide apart
Stand now and again during the
day with the back touching a vertical
wall.
Put the hands on the hips with the
elbows back and the fingers forward.
To make the skin satin-like in tex
ture and ivorywhite in color, THE
shoulders need an occasional l1neading
with an emolientNothing is better than
cream balm made thus: White wax 1
dram, paIaffin y dram, oil of sweet
almonds drains. Melt over gentle
heat, stirring we'll, then add 10 drops
of extract of violet. A rough skin can
be made fine, soft and beautiful by
this treatment, together with frequent
bathing of the shoulders in very warm
water, followed by a dash of cold
water.

REPLY TO SECRETARY LONG.
The Value Of Industrial School Prop.
erty Stated.

The District Commissioners have replied
to Secretary Long, OF the navy. relative to
the value of the land of the Industrial
Home School, within the limits OF the OBJ
servatory circle proposed to be establish
ed about the naval observatory for the
permanent protection Of the delicate in
struments used there. The Commission
ers state that the estimated valuation by
the board Of charities of the District for the
land is $74. 4O4 or 6.764 acres at 81 600
per acre, which Is held to be a reasonable
appraisal
The estimated value" the Commission
ers continue, "of the buildings on the land
within the area OF the circle Is sos 800.
for which the District should be re-
imbursed to enable it to erect other ac-
commodations for the school. Besides the
structures within the circle, there are
three buildings on the portion outside the
circle which will be valueiess for the pur-
poses OF the school. II the remainder of
the school land should be taken. The
present value of these buildings for the
purposes of the school Is about $4,000.
In case this property should be taken
by the general government. the Industrial
Home School should be permitted to oc-
cupy the site until other suitable build
ings can be provided and the Commission
ers should be authorized by Congress to
dispose of this portion Of the tract outside
of the circle at public or private sale On
this basis the Commissioners will gladly
cooperate with the Navy Department in
an effort to obtain authority from Con-
gress to make the proposed transfer.
