BASE BALL OF
LOCAL INTEREST

Cumberland was in such a hurry
to get in the P. o. NJ. League and
now there is. a possibility of it gett-
ing out in justsuc a big rush. The
team is much inferior to any minor
league bunch in our knowledge.
Piedmont shut them out and just
the other day Frostburg with a team
purely local gave them an awful
drubbing at the ratio of eleven to
one. If Wheeling decides to put
in an outlaw team then 1t is very
likely Cumberland will be dropped.

Many of the fans are banking
heavily on the return of "Bull"
Smith. Should he decide to return
instead Of staying with st. Paul, the
team will gain immeasurably in
strength.

The local team will take a weeks
trip over on the "Creel" before the
season is much older. Cumberland,
Piedmont, Frostburg, Lonaconing
and several other towns up in that
region have strong teams and there
will not be trouble in securing dates.

ful Woman Takes Account
Of Stock

There are few women who can pos
sibly tie over the whole summer
with the clothes they had made In
May. observes Anne Rittanhouse.
Sun and soap are two very damag-
ing causes of the going-to-pieces OF
the clothes we wear between March
and October. While blouses disin-
tegrate rapidly under the pressure Of
the washboard and the sharp point
OF the iron; most col0rs fade from
cloth after being worn In the sun after
two months; white skirts begin to
show raveling threads at the edge
and from constant pulling and press
ing the plaits and the gathers get out
OF gear.
COlored straw hats fade. as well as
the roses and ribbon on them. Even
tan shoes get steadily darker while
the stockings bought to match them
grow rapidly lighter. So it is that
even the most careful woman finds
herself in the middle Of the warm
months looking far more disheveled
and unneat than she cares to own.
Then should come a week Of mend
ing, altering and replacing.
Whether or not women have any
system Of renewing their clothes at
this time Of the year, no woman can
afford not to have a general overhaul
ing Of every garment she wears. un-
der-linen, hats and clothes.
II is strange how upon close IN
spection we find our clothes not all
we thought them to be in neatness
and freshness.
Summer clothes are certainly per
ishable ones and unless we have a
constant criticism of them from the
outside We are apt TO let all the little
details slip. and then gasp with as
tonishment when we really see tho
condition OF things.

tons and cutting OF edges will do
wonders toward giving us a fresh

PoLKA-DoTs IN VOGUE.

Spite of Checks and Plaids

Ever since last March polka dots
have been struggling for recognition,
in spite Of the almost autocratic rule

the determined advance of stripes.
This summer they have succeeded.
All sorts of polka dots are worn.

linens down to the least expensive

of the playful members Of the Four

two young women visitors in a

WIRELESS FOR PACIFIC COAST.
Navy Establishes Many Stations That
VIII Aid Ships.

Washington.-The United States
navy will soon have the Pacific coast
equipped with wireless stations as
the Atlantic coast is now equipped. so
that messages may be received at
some stations day or night. Wireless
stations have been completed and
equipped at San Diego, ArQuello, Far
alona and Mare Island.
Faralona is just outside OF San
Francisco harbor. The station was
located there in order to have the
communication over sea as much as
possible from one station to the other
Stations are now being constructed
at Table Bluff. Cape Blanco. North
Head and Cape Flattery. The sta
tons are from 1SO to 210 miles apart
and when all are erectsd and the ap-
paratus is installed It will be possible
to communicate the whole length Of
the Pacific coast day or night.
It has been found that, owing to
electric conditions. the wireless Is
less efficient in the day than in the
night. and stations must be necessar-
fly nearer In order to secure efficiency
at all times. ANY ship sailing along
the Pacific coast and equipped with
wireless will be able to communicate
with the land at all times from the
northern to the southern boundary Of
the country.
