TRYING OUT THE RECRUITS

MONTGOMERY. Ala, March g.
Clark Griffith, manager of the New
York Americans, has made a coed start
il his plan OF giving his pitchers, espe-
cfally his new pitchers. a week of work
prior TO the reporting Of the regular
men.
The full team, except Chesbro and
Keeier, who are coaching Harvard, and
Camel. whose movements since he
bought the Grand Rapids franchise are
uncertain, is expected to be on hand
by the middle of this week, and by that
time the pitchers Will have been at work
for d week. Not only viii there be
enough suppleness Of arm developed in
the twirling corps to give the batters
better pitching. and, consequently,
more valuable practice than they ordi-
narily get at this time of the year, but
Griffith will have begun to get some idea
of which is the wheat and which the
chaff among the new box material he
is trying out down here.
Griffith VIII Pitch.
Griffith says he expects to do a little
pitching himself this season. Griff is the
midget Of his staff Of slab artists. In
fact, the box brigade OF the Highland
ers is, in the main, OF big and brawny
physique, strikingly go. There are
Powell, Putnam, Orth, Chesbro and
Newton for instance. 1t is the big pitch
ers who are in the foreground these
days, and the Highlanders have their
share OF them. Unless signs fail the
tall left-hander, Putnam, will be a
success this season. 1t has been demon
strated that he has speed and sharp
curves and also control, and this year
he has more ginger. These things
with the experience Of last year. will
make him formidable, especially as he
always was cool one In the box
Powell, Putnam, Orth. Chesbro, Clark

SUMMER COOKERY
A Word to the Wise Is Sufficient About
Sandwich Making.

A word as to sandwich making in gen
eral: When white bread is used the city
housewife viii do well 70 order the
regular sandwich loaf, which is from
y TO II inches long, and each slice cuts
in a square Of five OF six inches. Each
loaf Is baked separately. with a golden
crust on all six sides, and generally
sells for 10 cents Il loaf. 1t cuts into
iGeal triangular sandwiches.
White bread for sandwiches should
be eat very thin and thp butter should
bc soft. but not melted if it is to be
spread on as thiuly as tie modern sand
w1ch demands.
Faddlshness in the matter of bread
l. responsible for the appearance on
many tea tables Of very dainty sand
wiches made from graham or whole
wheat bread. Brown bread cut rather
thicker than for the white sandwiches,
is also in demand.
All bread for sandwiches should have
the crust carefully removed. The aver
age loaf of bread cuts to more econom-
iCal advantage in oblongs, squares, or
tTangles, but some hOstesses, who
wish 10 have variety of shapes, use
a round biscuit cutter FOR shaping the
bread. When very delicate service is
desired the bread may be cut thin, and,
after filling. the sandwich is rolled and
tied with ribbons TO match the color
scheme on the table
When sandwiches are made several
hours in advance Of the function they
must be packed in alright boxes or
wrapped In clean cloths. napkins, or
squares OF old linen, which have been
dipped in clear water and then Wrung
very, very dry. Sandwiches whose 'filI-
ings contain vinegar. lemon, or soft
cheese should not be laid in a tin box
unless they are carefully wrapped in
cloths first, as they absorb a ''ttnuy'
taste. Sandwiches may be served on a
fiat plate or salveT in a nest of crisp
lettuce leaves, or they may be garnished
with parsley. Whatever garnish is used
must be crisp and fresh looking, or it is
worse than no garnish at all.
A popular filing for white bread sand
wiches Is a peanut paste Chop a cup
of sheled and skinned roasted peanuts
very fine Add 10 them enough mayon-
naise dressing to make the mixture Of
the proper consistency to spread on the
bread Add salt to taste and cover thin
slices of bread with n coating of the
paste.
Almond fling-Chop half a pound OF
blanched almonds with an equal bulk of
shredded or grated celery and add a
little salt. Moisten with mayonnaise
dressing and spread between thin. round
slices of white bread or Cblongs OF
brown bread.
Particularly appetizing for q brown
bread filling is an olive and anchoYy
paste. Chop stoned olives into fine bits
and mix them with a small quantity of
anchovy paste.

Complexion Don Is.

Don't use any but a pure soap.
Don't neglect the daily bath If you
want q radiant complexion.
Don't use hard water for face OF
hands. as it roughens the skin and
causes it to lose its satin-like texture.
Don't be afraid of sunshine; il gives
bloom and color. Where the sun does
not enter, the doctor must" Is an old
japanese proverb.
Don't be afraid of friction for the face;
freshness is prolonged Dy the tepiG
bath. followed by long friction; this
keeps the blood at the surface.
Don't fail TO expose the skin to the
air as well as the sun a least once
daily; this makes the flesh firm and
hard. and the harder the flesh the more
perfect the skin.
Don't use violence in massaging the
face, for it will not stand being pounded.
The manipulation must be gentle and
even. or the skin Will become coarse and
leathery.
Don't fiex the last joint of the fingers.
In all forms OF massage this Joint should
be extended, heXation being limited to
the second joint and the knuckle. In
this way one gets broad surface for
contact with the part. which gives a
pleasanter. as well as more effective
massage.

4 TEST of Friendship.

neither misses anything, the calm con-
tent and serenity of spirit which per

sympathy which exists that makes un-
derstanding complete. That is the real
friendship which respects moods and
demands nothing which it is not willing
